I’m The King Chapter 1044: :East and West (37)

Dull drums sounded in the maple leaf forest, and Ming Di flew into the air with a shrill whistling sound. In the maple leaf forest, groups of soldiers of the Qin army, some with spears in their hands, some with swords and shields, lined up. The neat team came out, and lined up in a neat square on the green slope.

Almost when the ambush army in the maple leaf forest showed its figure, another Qin army appeared at one end of Wu Yunqi. They blocked the left passage of the Han army, and on the farther right, Where the Han army just passed, more Qin soldiers appeared.

Facing the enemy on three sides and the water on the other, the 20,000 Donghu cavalry were in a desperate situation. Looking at the soldiers of the Qin army who were still in good order and the phalanx slowly approaching, even though they were far away, their color changed a little.

"Looks like this battle really started!" He murmured.

Mu Gulu was the first to attack, and he attacked the Qin army on the left. Gao Che brandished a scimitar, shouted and led his troops straight to the Maple Leaf Forest. En brought another 5,000 cavalry as support, and surrounded Gaoyuan with another 5,000 cavalry, which was the final reserve.

20,000 versus 50,000, but 20,000 cavalry were trapped in a relatively small closed environment. The battlefield with a radius of less than ten miles was really small compared to the 70,000 to 80,000 troops on both sides. It is for the cavalry.

The Han army needs to maintain a corresponding space for movement during the war, and the purpose of the Qin army is to squeeze the range of activities of the cavalry of the Han army as much as possible. How many advantages will there be.

For the cavalry of the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, the only way to deal with the cavalry of the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division is to raise their spears and step on their crossbows at the same time. , first of all, a large number of bed crossbows should be used for the first round of long-range strikes, and mid-range use of foot crossbows, and only those who have passed these two rounds of death strikes will encounter their spears, but this time, Qin The army has no bed crossbow.

Because Li Xin first had to lead his army to Jishi City, turn halfway, and rush to Wuyun Banner in a hurried march. In order to gain enough time, it was impossible for the Qin army to bring such a heavy weapon like the bed crossbow.

Two hundred steps straight, the cavalry of the Han army had already raised their arms and crossbows first. With a cry, the buzzing sound of the crossbow arrows sounded endlessly, and they rushed directly to the crossbowmen behind the Qin army, and the screams rang out again and again. , the difference in range between the two sides is 50 steps, but the distance of 50 steps is enough to determine the effect of long-range strikes between the two sides.

A round of arm crossbows shot, and the horses had already approached dozens of steps. At this time, the Qin army's foot crossbows finally started to fight back, but it seemed a little sparse. Just now, under the targeted attack of the Han army, The casualties were heavy. The gap in the military industry between the two sides was vividly displayed.

The sparse foot crossbows have limited damage to the cavalry of the Han army. It was the thing they were most used to, and the sound of collapse sounded continuously. Some Donghu cavalrymen sat on the horses, and some even stood on the stirrups with their feet, firing their bows again and again.

The horses moved forward, getting closer and closer to the opponent's spear formation where people kept falling down. Only a dozen steps away, the Qin army in the first row had already grasped the spears in their hands, ready to stab them fiercely, and then confronted the enemy. When they died together, the Donghu cavalry suddenly turned around and almost brushed past the spear points pierced by the Qin army. It was only a small distance, but the spear fell into the empty space.

The cavalry passing by are still shooting arrows non-stop. In order to shoot more arrows in the shortest time, these Donghu cavalry did not draw their bows fully, but only shot them halfway, but because the distance was too close , Donghu riders were very well prepared, these arrows were all running towards the opponent's face, and even if they didn't die, they would make the opponent lose their fighting power in a short time.

The five thousand cavalry brought by Mu Gulu were all outlaws killed from the white mountains and black waters. Almost none of those who survived in those places were weak. But the Qin army they faced was The weakest of the three strands.

According to Li Xin's prediction, when Gao Yuan finds out that he is lying in the middle, the most likely thing is to return to the same way immediately, so on the right side of Wu Yunqi, he gathered 20,000 elite troops to intercept, And the second possibility is that Gao Yuan attacks himself, captures the thief first, and the king is the least likely to attack to the left, because in that direction, because the Siyang River turns there, where It is a narrow area, even if you want to break through, it is definitely not a good place, so in that direction, it is the place where the Qin army's strength is weakest.

It is true that the Han army only sent 5,000 cavalry in that direction, a quarter of its strength, but the fighting power of the 5,000 cavalry is the strongest among the Eastern Hu cavalry.

In the blink of an eye, the Qin army on the left was in chaos. When Mu Gulu led the team back in a circle, in front of them, the Qin army had already fallen in a large area. It seems to be in a mess.

"Kill!" With a loud roar, he pulled out his scimitar and charged straight at the formation of the Qin army. Opportunity, go straight in.

Li Xin was a little surprised, because the Donghu cavalry who fell into his ambush didn't seem to panic at all, but responded immediately as if they had been prepared. What shocked Li Xin even more was that the opponent completely There was no intention of pulling back and retreating, which made the heavy soldiers deployed on the right side feel as if they had punched with all their strength, and hit the empty space, how uncomfortable it was.

The 20,000 infantry on the right are a full five miles away from the central battlefield. This distance was set by Li Xin's calculation of the withdrawal speed of the Donghu cavalry and the speed of the Qin army's deployment, but now, Li Xin has some It feels like a cocoon. The distance of five miles is short for the cavalry, but it is a long distance for the heavily armed and armored heavy infantry. In the center of the battlefield, there are 5,000 cavalry who have been He didn't move, but based on Li Xin's experience, he knew that the opponent must be targeting his cavalry. Once his 20,000 heavy infantry got out of formation and rushed here desperately, the opponent would definitely attack immediately. It was disastrous, and the only thing that comforted Li Xin was that the general Ying Zhuo he sent in that direction did not lose his footing because of the current situation, and still maintained a strict formation, slowly pressing towards this side near.

The battle situation on the left side made Li Xin unexpected. His side showed defeat in the first day of the new year. If the left side is broken by the Han army, no matter how narrow the area is, it will be enough for the Han army to escape. And go.

"Jin Rong, take five thousand troops and quickly reinforce the left wing. Be sure to block it for me, and wait for Ying Zhuo to enter the battlefield. It's time for a decisive battle!" Li Xin roared.

"Follow the order!" Jin Rong glanced at the Han cavalry who was attacking from the bottom of the hillside, and said loudly.

Compared to Mu Gulu's momentum, Gao Che's attack on Li Xin's main formation outside the maple forest, but he bumped into a hard bone, wave after wave of attacks, but retreated wave after wave. The Qin army on the mountain was pressing down bit by bit, while the cavalry in the high distance were being oppressed and kept retreating.

"Speed ​​up, speed up!" Tang Yibiao was burning with anxiety. Although Wu Kai managed to get thousands of carriages for him in the shortest time, 20,000 soldiers climbed on top of the carriages and headed all the way to the Wuyun Banner. He rushed in the direction, but for him who was seventy or eighty miles away from Wuyunqi, it would take at least half a day to get there. Wu Yunqi alone fought against Li Xin's 50,000 army for one day. If it was on the spacious grassland, Tang Yibiao would not need to have any worries at all, but the current situation is that the king took the initiative to jump into the trap of Wu Yunqi , In Wu Kai's county guard's mansion, after Tang Yibiao saw the topographic map of Wuyun Banner, he gasped immediately. The cavalry was trapped here, surrounded by a large number of infantry, and it was dead.

"Hurry up, don't cherish the horsepower, use the whip, let them run hard, if you can't run, you run with your feet, we will rush to Wuyunqi at the fastest speed!" Riding on the horse, Tang Yibiao ran forward After running, he shouted.

The 20,000 pawns have long been out of formation, climbing on top of thousands of carriages, rolling over the green grass, and rushing towards the direction of Wu Yunqi overwhelmingly.

In the other direction, He Lanxiong was drenched in blood, looking at the general flag of Liu Dacheng, which was only a few hundred meters away from him, and if he captured Liu Dacheng, the war here would be over.

"Who will follow me to kill the general and capture the flag?" He Lanxiong roared loudly.

"I'm coming!" A crisp voice sounded behind him. When He Lanxiong looked back, it turned out to be the female general Gu Li. Beside him was the inseparable Toppler. There were more than a dozen twigs hanging beside Toppler's saddle Spears, these things are the harvest of He Weiyuan's armored cavalry who defeated Li Xin, and Toppler, who lost an arm, has a deep knowledge in throwing javelins. When throwing, the center of gravity was stable, and Toppler picked up a dozen or so at once. There are still twelve on him at the moment.

"And me!" He Lanjie also rushed over.

"Okay, kill Liu Dacheng, seize his general flag, and completely defeat them, so we can go to Ulan Banner." He Lanxiong laughed loudly.

"I'll open the way!" Toppler clamped his horse's belly and galloped forward, grabbing a javelin with one arm, and threw it forward with a roar. Qin Jun let out a scream, and was nailed to the spot by the javelin.
