The magnitude of the task was still underestimated.

Although he had been prepared for a long time and knew the danger of the survival mission, Xiang Ji didn't expect his first battle to be so tragic.

The so-called sneak attack of a small group of cavalry is actually no smaller than that of Xiang Zhi's team, and it can be regarded as a frontal crush.

Against the halo of the setting sun, Xiang Ji first saw a row of rapidly approaching black shadows in the distance, and then heard a faint whistling sound in the air.

The recruits around him screamed and clutched their chests and fell, and some of them lay straight on the ground without saying a word, with a feathered arrow stuck in their foreheads.

It's a crossbow! Xiang Ji, who had just reacted, was about to dodge when he heard two muffled sounds in front of his breastplate, and two crossbow arrows were already inserted squarely in his chest. Xiang Ji felt as if he had been punched twice, and he involuntarily sat down on the ground, and his heart was terrified.

After all, this new army is still too immature, and the limited training is not enough for them to face this situation. Xiang Ji was also not good, he and his colleagues did not know how to effectively avoid the crossbow, so in the face of this wave of crossbow arrow attacks of the Qin army, the recruits suffered heavy casualties, and they were knocked down like wheat.

In a mess, Zhongxiang finally stood up, and he couldn't help but congratulate himself on the wisdom of purchasing equipment in the first place. In terms of combat effectiveness, he is better than those fallen recruits, and in terms of combat skills, he is actually no different from other recruits. The reason why Xiang Ji was able to save his life was all because of the modified version of the step armor on his body.

As one of the pinnacle armors of the cold weapon era, the protective performance of the Song Dynasty Buren armor is very comprehensive. It was the heart guard on his chest that helped him block the two crossbow arrows that came at him just now, and Xiang Ji was able to survive. Otherwise, if Xiang Ji was wearing the same simple leather armor or even cloth armor as his comrades-in-arms, he would probably end up no different from his comrades-in-arms, and he would be directly taken blood.

But Xiang Ji, who was lucky enough to save his life, didn't have time to rejoice, because a wave of crossbow bolts followed by a cavalry charge. Riding on flat ground was too difficult a task, and this level of hellish difficulty was obviously beyond the reach of this new army.

Before the soldiers who had survived the long-range attack just now had time to rejoice, they saw the figure of the Qin army's elite cavalry charging with flat-ended spears.

Poof! Like a sharp knife piercing into a watermelon, the two Chu soldiers were scurryed together by the spears that attacked like poisonous dragons. Seeing this, the knights of the Qin army on the horse threw down the spear that had been inserted in the enemy's corpse, grabbed the long knife hanging aside, and slashed it with horsepower. Poof! A good human head immediately rises to the sky!

"Ah~, run away!" Just a wave of charge, this weak army was crushed by the enemy, and the panicked soldiers scurried around with the crowd like flies. At this time, the black-clothed and black-armored soldiers of the Qin Army were as terrible as the underworld Shura in their eyes, they couldn't raise the slightest will to resist, they only thought about fleeing in their hearts, desperately fleeing!

But can you escape?

This was the thought in Xiang Ji's heart, he felt humiliated and frightened, and he had no idea that his first battle would be a massacre! Everywhere there were panicked routs and wanton enemies. Xiang Ji, who was wrapped up in the rout, couldn't do anything about all this, after all, it was difficult to support it alone. He could only watch his comrades-in-arms flee in panic, chased and slaughtered by the enemy like dogs.

No! I can't go on like this! I'm going to pull a cushion even if I die! Seeing his comrades-in-arms who had been with him for many days being slaughtered like chickens, Xiang Ji's stubborn temperament completely exploded, and he stopped his steps to escape, turned around and stabbed at a Qin cavalryman who was chasing and slashing the Chu army.

Everyone is drunk and I am sober, and this has always been a price. A brave warrior who dared to resist suddenly appeared in the midst of the fleeing rout, always standing out, and before Xiang Ji's spear could pierce the enemy's body, three or four weapons had already beckoned towards him. But Xiang Ji didn't care about it, it was completely a posture of ending up together, and the momentum of the charge did not change at all.

The unprepared cavalry of the Qin army was stabbed under the horse by Xiang Ji, but at the same time, seeing his comrades killed in battle, the angry revenge of the surrounding Qin soldiers also followed, and Xiang Ji, who had no protective action at all, accepted it all. In their eyes, this bold enemy would be torn apart in the next moment, and the dead could not die again.

A few crisp sounds of sharp weapons hitting metal objects, and it was the battle armor on his body that saved Xiang Ji's life. Xiang Ji only felt that a powerful impact hit the back of his heart, his throat was sweet, and his body involuntarily rolled forward several times like a gourd rolling on the ground.

Xiang Ji, who got up from the ground, felt a panache in his chest, knowing that he was injured. However, the environment on the battlefield did not allow him to deal with his injuries at all, and Xiang Ji's body was only halfway up, when he heard a vicious wind rushing behind him, and the Qin knight who had just stabbed him with a spear was already holding a saber and slashing at Xiang Ji's head.

Xiang Ji didn't have time to turn back, so he thrust the spear in his hand behind him by feeling, and poof! Under the huge kinetic energy of the war horse's charge, the Qin army knight on the horse was directly pierced through the breastplate and killed on the spot. But Xiang Ji was not happy, he was stabbed a few times in the body at this moment, and he was stabbed in the shoulder by a horse lance led by the Qin army.

If it weren't for the special strengthening of shoulder protection when this set of step armor was modified, I am afraid that one of Xiang Ji's arms would have lost its combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for it, I would have died a few times?" Xiang Ji thought with a wry smile. But that's the end of it.

In the eyes of the surrounding Qin army, although this strange Chu army armor soldier was brave and wore a set of invulnerable armor, it was difficult to stand alone after all. Human physical strength is limited, and the protection of this suit of armor is far from invulnerable. At the very least, the impact of the weapon slash hitting Xiang Ji couldn't be eliminated by this armor for him.

In fact, the current Xiang Ji is also the end of the strong crossbow, and the internal organs of the body have already been concussed and injured under more than ten heavy blows, and a mouthful of blood in the throat can't help but gush out. The body is also uncomfortable, especially the left shoulder is numb, and one arm is a little unable to lift.

If this continues, Xiang Ji will inevitably die here with his comrades-in-arms in the end. Perhaps the only difference is that this armor can leave a whole corpse for Xiang Ji, and the death will not be too ugly.

After another round of indiscriminate bombardment, Xiang Ji, who had been hit the head, was already shaky, and his vision began to blur. Am I going to be done?

"Come over here, boy!" shouted in his ear.

Xiang Ji looked back and saw that his subordinate elder Wei was commanding the remnants of the soldiers to gather and form a circle around the cart.

"Don't run around! Get closer to this side! Who of you can outrun a war horse? The more you run, the faster you die!" Old Wei shouted in the circle, and the surviving soldiers nearby were shocked and joined the defensive circle one after another.

Xiang Ji was also excited when he saw this, and someone finally organized a defense. With a wave of the big gun in his hand, forcing back the nearby Qin army, Xiang Ji took the opportunity to take out a pill from his personal space and stuffed it into his mouth.

This is the wound medicine given to them by director Bai Zhantang before leaving, it is said that in the world of martial arts, this is a pill used by people in the rivers and lakes to treat internal injuries. The value of this drug is not high, and the effect is limited. But for humans in the ordinary standard plane, its medicinal effect is extraordinary, and it is completely an out-and-out miracle medicine.

According to Lao Bai, this pill is a great tonic for people in the ordinary plane, it can regulate and treat internal and external injuries, and when his life is in danger, he can even contain one pill to hang his life. After this pill, Xiang Ji felt a lot more comfortable.

At this time, between Xiang Ji and the defensive circle was a loose queue composed of several Qin cavalry, Xiang Ji had an idea, and while charging towards the other party, his body was short and rolling, and the alloy spear in his hand swept towards the horse's legs below.

This alloy spear imitated the shape of the Liquan gun, its double-edged blade, huge spear head exerted a terrifying killing effect, the four horse legs were swept over, the two war horses that had lost their front legs neighed miserably and fell to the ground, and the knight on the horse suddenly turned into a rolling gourd.

"Okay!" Seeing this, the morale of the remnants of the encircled soldiers soared and cheered loudly, and Xiang Ji also took the opportunity to join his comrades in the circle. Just now, Xiang Ji remembered the horse-leg cutting tactics used by the Yuejia army against the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom in history, so he improvised the idea of concocting it, but he didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good.

This greatly increased the confidence of the besieged Chu army, and they followed suit, and the battle situation entered a local state of anxiety for a while, and the tragic battle began......

Another quarter of an hour passed, and this quarter of an hour was like a year for Xiang Ji. After a brief stalemate, the scales of victory once again tilted in favor of the Qin army. The tactic of chopping off horses' legs requires special equipment and training support, and without these effects, it is often not very ideal, at most it will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800.

Because there was no second Chu soldier on the battlefield who was equipped with such a protective armor as Xiang Ji, they often fell under the opponent's spear before they even approached the opponent's war horse. The entire defensive circle was compressed more and more by the cavalry of the Qin army, and the range became smaller and smaller.

In this case, Xiang Ji, who had strong protection capabilities and was always quite brave in the army, became the vanguard of the remnants of the Chu army and the focus of the Qin army's attack. After a few rounds of fighting, Xiang Ji's injuries that had just begun to improve with the pill became serious again, and if it weren't for the support of his comrades-in-arms behind him, he would have fallen down at this time.

Even so, this defensive ring is in jeopardy. Not only was Xiang Ji's body seriously overdrawn, but the armor he relied on to save his life had also begun to be damaged in the many blows, and he could feel that the infantry armor on his body at this time was no longer enough to completely protect against the opponent's slashing and stabbing attacks. Maybe in the next attack, he'll fall.

In the distance, the rumble of cavalry charging was heard again, this time on a larger scale and more imposingly. Did the Qin army still have such a large follow-up force? The exhausted remnants of the Chu army turned pale and looked desperate. Xiang Ji, who had a splitting headache and blurred vision, could no longer support it, and his knees went limp, and he fell heavily on the blood-soaked red earth.
