Chapter 306 The Power of Heavy Cavalry

The Hun cavalry who were chasing Ying Shu suddenly saw a corpse flying from behind and knocked down a knight.

Among the Hun cavalry at the rear, someone immediately looked back.

The moment he turned around, he saw a sharp edge coming towards him.

Bai Zhong picked up the horse and stabbed forward hard. The sharp edge penetrated the head of the Hun knight who turned around, and shouted: "Kill!"

The heavy cavalry around them were affected by the fighting spirit, and their fighting spirit was strong. With only killing in their eyes, they followed Bai Zhong and rushed into the Huns cavalry. The horses in their hands fiercely harvested the lives of the enemies.

The Hun cavalry in front finally noticed the movement behind them, shouted in a Hun dialect that Bai Zhong and the others could not understand, and turned around to fight back.

The Qin army's five thousand heavy cavalry were all in place.

An inch long, an inch strong.

The horse's sword was much longer than the Huns' saber.

As soon as the two sides clashed, the heavy cavalry raised their sabers and charged forward. As soon as the Hun knights raised their sabers, their bodies were pierced by the sabers, and thousands of them fell instantly.

"Cut the enemy's queue!"

Bai Zhong waved his horse spear, knocking down several Huns cavalry who were close by, and led two hundred men into them first.

"Follow the general!"

A leader of two to five hundred heavy cavalry shouted.

Five thousand heavy cavalry followed closely behind Bai Zhong.

They had saddles and stirrups. Even if they raised their hands and waved the horseshoes, they would not fall off. They also had battle armor and horse armor for defense. In addition, the horseshoes were too long, making it impossible for the enemy to get close. They quickly killed the enemies and turned them upside down.

What Bai Zhong had to do was to divide the battlefield, take the lead, lead the heavy cavalry with powerful force, divide the Huns cavalry into thousands of square formations, and then start massacring a certain square formation.

The Hun cavalry that was chasing Ying Shu stopped, and the Hun generals detached some of their cavalry to go back and intercept Bai Zhong.

"retreat!"

Bai Zhong shouted.

The heavy cavalry rode back, and then launched a charge under Bai Zhong's order.

The horse's spear was not only long, but could also break armor. The sharp edge pierced out, and thousands of Hun knights fell in a pool of blood.

The other side.

The light cavalry led by Ying Shu saw the turmoil in the north.

"The general has taken action. Separate them all and continue to pull. Assist the general."

The turmoil in the Huns' rear took most of the pressure off Ying Shu and the others.

The light cavalry rode towards the north and moved closer to Baizhong, shooting the Hun cavalry as they moved.

Although the number of the Huns' cavalry was large, they were disrupted by the light cavalry at the beginning, and then were killed by Bai Zhong's heavy cavalry. The heavy cavalry ran rampant, and it seemed even more chaotic at this time. They had no battle formations, and they had no discipline at all.

The enemy depends entirely on the ferocity of an individual.

Now the formation is in disarray, my individual ferocity has been beaten to timidity, and I can't show it to myself. I don't know what to do next.

The light cavalry led by Ying Shu shot and killed some of the enemies, and soon joined Bai Zhong and others.

"kill!"

The Qin army's cavalry shouted at the same time.

The heavy cavalry charged again, and the light cavalry assisted with bows and crossbows, killing the Hun cavalry to the point where they were frightened.

In the subconscious mind of the Huns, the Qin cavalry must be vulnerable to a single blow. Only now do they realize that ideals and reality are completely different. The only one who is truly vulnerable is themselves.

At the end of the fighting, only a few hundred people from the Xiongnu side were able to escape.

Bai Zhong's heavy cavalry only lost more than a hundred people.

The 15,000-strong Qin cavalry killed tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry. Both Bai Zhong and Ying Shu were very satisfied with this result. The two cavalry worked together very well.

"Go and meet Li Xin."

When Bai Zhong saw that the knights had almost harvested their military exploits, he picked up the reins and changed direction to fight towards the north.

——

Touman sat on a tall war horse and ordered the army to continue advancing south.

He was determined to win Yanmen Pass this time. Whenever he thought of the fertile land, silk and other properties in the Central Plains, as well as the comfortable environment, he couldn't help but drool.

The land of the Central Plains must belong to the Xiongnu. After conquering Yanmen Pass, he will conquer the entire Qin State.

However, the strength of the Qin cavalry just now made him a little worried.

"Why haven't our cavalry returned yet?"

Touman asked impatiently.

He was very dissatisfied that it would take so long to chase down more than 10,000 Qin cavalry with tens of thousands of cavalry.

Just as he was urging, the sound of horse hoofbeats finally came from the south, but it was not loud and sounded very urgent. After hundreds of cavalry escaped, they joined the army and said in a panic what had happened just now.

"What?"

Touman rode forward and asked in disbelief: "You said that of the cavalry we sent out, only a few hundred of you are left?"

He didn't think that Qin's cavalry was that strong.

This can't be the case.

Just as the cavalry generals were about to explain, a soldier hurriedly came from the rear and interrupted: "Qin cavalry, sneak attack from behind..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Xiongnu front army was shocked and looked to the rear.

The line of the 300,000-strong army was very long. When they looked behind the front army, they could not see any movement in the rear.

"Go back and surround us!"

Touman shouted.

——

Li Xin led five thousand heavy cavalry and took a detour to finally reach the rear of the Huns.

Looking at the Huns passing by and the carts of baggage and supplies they were pulling, he narrowed his eyes, a faint murderous intention revealed, and held the horse in his hand tighter.

"Kill out!"

As these three words fell, Li Xin was the first to appear from behind the high slope next to him, riding his horse and sprinting down.

"kill!"

The other cavalrymen swarmed forward.

The Xiongnu rear army never dreamed that there would be a sneak attack by the Qin army here. Before they could react, Li Xin, who was the fastest in charge, attacked the Xiongnu army forcefully.

With a wave of Li Xin's horse, two Huns soldiers were knocked away on the spot.

The other heavy cavalry charged in with great momentum and killed the Huns' rear troops. Thousands of the Huns' soldiers died under the horses' hooves and horseshoes after the first charge.

The Hequ horse is so tall that if an ordinary person is kicked by it, he will fall unconscious on the spot even if he does not die.

Li Xin led his troops to kill the rear army, but he did not dare to go any further and shouted: "Kill back!"

The five thousand heavy cavalry uniformly changed direction and charged towards the enemy again.

The Huns raised their bows and arrows and drew their bows to shoot.

But as soon as the sharp arrow arrived, it was blocked by the horse armor, or opened by the knight waving the horse spear. The second sprint came quickly, and the 60-centimeter-long sharp blade at the end pierced into the enemy's body, quickly infecting the enemy.

A layer of blood red.

"Prepare the fire!"

When Li Xin led his troops for the third charge, the soldiers in the Xiongnu rear army did not dare to resist them anymore.

Dozens of cavalrymen took out a fire stick made by Bai Zhong, blew it hard, and after the fire inside burned, they threw it into the enemy's food, grass, and various marching supplies.
