Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 173 Prey

On the huge plain, Wu Mo and Wang Bo led the Yongguo cavalry in this extremely wide terrain, and took the Ji cavalry in a circle, shooting a wave of arrows from time to time. The two of them even led their cavalry to the Ji infantry formation, and shot a wave of arrows when they saw the opportunity.

This wave of provocation by the two made Zhao Hede blush, but he didn't have the slightest choice. And this situation of chasing me lasted for two whole hours, and Zhao Hede tried everything he could, either to divide his troops and pursue them in all directions, or to make every effort to assault, or to let the infantry line cooperate forward, but he was never able to block the slippery Yongguo cavalry.

The long-term pursuit led to the complete confusion of the cavalry and infantry formations of the Ji State, and the speed of the cavalry was much slower.

At this moment, more than 5,000 of the Ji cavalry, who were slipped away like dead dogs, have been killed, and countless have been injured. was able to achieve such results, thanks to Qin Ke's foresight, he knew that cavalry archery was the strength of the grassland cavalry, and even if the Central Plains cavalry was trained, it would not reach ninety percent of the grassland cavalry, so he thought of using a crossbow and a bow alternately. Ke gathered the cavalry of the whole army who could use bows and crossbows on horses, a total of more than 20,000 men, and practiced while marching, and now finally showed good power.

Although the cavalry of the Ji State had a bow in their hands, most of them were weak and weak, and the range only reached fifty or sixty paces, which could not be compared with the bow and crossbow in the hands of the Yongguo cavalry.

Qin Ke stood on a high slope, looked at the two cavalry that appeared on the horizon, looked up at the sun, waved his hand lightly, and ordered: "It's almost, let's start!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

With the waving of the Chinese military flag, dozens of skinned drums began to rumble, and the earth-shaking war drums resounded throughout the battlefield.

Zhao Hede, who was unable to pursue the enemy, suddenly heard the sound of war drums, and suddenly felt a sense of unease, and a feeling of uneasiness crept into his heart. He looked far and wide, wanting to see what was going to happen.

And Yongjun did not disappoint him, accompanied by the sound of war drums, the sound of feet stomping on the ground sounded. The footsteps of this army were neat, and the shock was no less than that of the cavalry.

Zhao Hede suddenly raised his head, only to see a long black line appear in front of him, this is the infantry formation of Yongguo, their marching speed is slow and powerful, and the entire formation is very tight.

The first column of shield soldiers held a square shield with a height of one person, and after reaching the designated position, the shield was erected with a "coax", and at the same time the hardwood bracket was placed behind the shield, and the shield was slightly tilted.

Then the shield soldiers quickly turned into sword and shield soldiers, and they removed the round shields they were carrying behind them, and retreated to the position of the third row of spearmen behind them.

Behind the shield men were spearmen armed with two-foot spears, and the first column of spearmen placed their spears in the notches of the square shields, and inserted the spears at the bottom of the spears into the ground. The spearmen in the second row put their spears on the shoulders of the spearmen in the first row, and so on, until the sixth row were the crossbowmen.

At this moment, the cavalry under his command was exhausted, whether it was a man or a war horse, and the Yongguo cavalry behind had already shot the last round of arrows, and they were replaced with spears, raising the speed of their horses and preparing to charge.

In the impact of the Yongguo infantry array, which is armed to the teeth, or hedges with the Yongguo cavalry, the choice of the former is ten deaths, and the choice of the latter is nine deaths, of course, Zhao Hede chooses the latter.

He pulled the reins of the horse, turned the head of the war horse under the seat, and then took his more than 20,000 cavalry to hedge against the Yongguo cavalry led by Wumo and Wang Bo.

The cavalry of the Ji State were wearing red armor, and even the coat color of the war horses had become bright red with blood, like raging fire. The spears used in the hands of the charging array were all raised slightly diagonally, and the front line was straight forward. The goal is very clear, that is, to rush the Yongguo cavalry.

The Yongguo cavalry was wearing Xuan armor, and the war horses were mainly black and brown, they formed a sharp array, holding Zhangba spears, no shouting, no roaring, silent, and their eyes full of anger converged into a murderous aura.

The two cavalry rushed together without hesitation, and the entire battlefield was suddenly overturned.

Wang Bo held a spear, a little cold mang, and then the gun came out like a dragon, a spear will be rushed over the Ji cavalry on the opposite side, the figure has not stopped at all, continue to rush forward, and then the cold mang becomes a sky full of stars, each spear pierced, take away the life of a Ji cavalry.

The same situation happened in the entire cavalry battlefield, because the Ji cavalry ran out of horsepower, their charging speed was less than one-third of the Yongguo cavalry. Moreover, the cavalry was physically exhausted, although a formation was formed in front of Zhao Hede, but under a collision, it immediately became fragmented, which made the balance of victory unilaterally tilt towards the Yongguo cavalry, and the Jiguo cavalry fell in pieces, which was not the enemy of the Yongguo cavalry at all.

This kind of battle situation made Zhao Hede angry, but at this moment he couldn't take care of much, so he could only take his remaining cavalry back to the position of the infantry formation, and under the cover of the infantry, regroup.

One of Zhao Hede's generals rode a horse to his side, looked at the Yongguo infantry army that was showing off his might in the distance, and said in a low voice: "General, we can't do anything, let's retreat to Shanwu City and make plans again." ”

Zhao Hede looked at the exhausted and heavy losses of the cavalry, nodded, and said to his herald: "Go down, the infantry will retreat to Shanwucheng first, and the cavalry will be broken!" ”

"Whoa!"

On the hillside, Qin Ke looked at the Ji army in the distance, and asked with a smile: "Zhong Ming, guess what this Yanmen County Guard will do next?" ”

Wang Rong replied categorically: "General, I think that this Yanmen County Guard will retreat into Shanwu City next. His cavalry suffered heavy losses, and without repairs, it was easy to be completely annihilated in continuous battles. And the infantry in this vast plain can only become the prey to be devoured by us. ”

Qin Ke listened to Wang Rong's words, and laughed and said: "Haha, that's good, but you're wrong, even if these tens of thousands of Ji troops return to Shanwu City, they are about to be devoured by us!" ”

Wang Rong bowed and saluted, looking like he had been taught.

Wu Mo and Wang Bo drove their horses to the hillside, the two turned over and dismounted, handed over the horses to their own soldiers, and came to Qin Ke together, gave a military salute, and said: "The last general, humble duty, fortunately not dishonored!" ”

Qin Ke helped the two generals up with a smile on his face, one of them hammered a small fist on his chest, and said with a smile: "The two generals have made great contributions, not only killed and injured the enemy, but also drove them into Shanwu City, and then it depends on the infantry." ”
