Seven thousand men in white robes shouted in unison. There was no confusion during the charge. This was the elite cavalry. If their horses were replaced by tall horses from the north, they would probably be considered one of the top cavalry in the world.
It's a pity that although the Seven Thousand White Robes have the qualities of a top-class elite cavalry, their external hardware has not kept up with their software. After all, the Nanzhong Horse is still somewhat inferior.
"Fire arrows!" Seeing Xiang Jun's cavalry approaching within the range of the bow and arrow, the white-robed army general shouted and immediately ordered an attack.
Immediately afterwards, the white-robed knight fired an arrow to attack, and suddenly a shower of black arrows shot out, heading straight for Xiang Jun's cavalry.
"Speed up the charge!" Xiang Yu roared when he saw this, shot the arrow in front of him, and rushed out at the head of the horse.
Although the White Robes are not yet considered to be the top cavalry elites, that is because the underlying hardware is not good, rather than the quality of the soldiers themselves. In fact, under the training of Chen Qingzhi, these White Robes can already do this
Riding and shooting.
However, although Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army can do it, it does not mean that Xiang Yu's cavalry can do it. Xiang Yu's three elite cavalry, belonging to Yingbu's Thunder Leopard Army, have only a few hundred dead.
, and now these people are also with Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Tenglong Legion, which belongs to Long Qie, has been reduced from two thousand to one thousand after successive battles, but it has never been replenished. It is not only difficult to replenish horses, but also to replenish soldiers.
It is not easy to train such top elites, and if you want to supplement them, it will naturally be troublesome!
And the Tenglong Legion is still defending Liu Xiu on Long Qie's side. Yes, the pressure on Liu Che's side is too great, and Liu Xiu's side can only temporarily turn off the fire.
Simply, Liu Xiu couldn't continue the fight. Now he had only 20,000 soldiers and no more than ten generals. His territory had just been taken over. The situation inside was a mess. He hadn't sorted it out yet, so he was not qualified to continue the fight.
.
Liu Xiu should be grateful to Liu Che, a member of the same clan. If it weren't for Liu Che, Liu Xiu would not be able to hold on much longer if he continued to fight.
The war is not just about the military, it is also a huge test for the underlying economy and people's livelihood. And in this regard, Liu Xiu now can be said to be terrible!
It is no exaggeration to say that even if any prince gave Liu Xiu a piece of land for nothing, he would not be able to take it now!
The last Ji Bu's Shadow Tiger Legion was in a similar situation to the Tenglong Legion. It was also experiencing serious attrition, and at this time it was under Xiang Yu's command.
Although Xiang Yu defeated Xu Shiji in a surprise attack, Xu Shiji was not incompetent. After the battle, Xiang Yu only had 10,000 cavalry left. By the way, he had just lost more than 2,000.
Fortunately, Xiang Yu is still here, otherwise the morale of the remaining cavalry would have declined to the extreme. It can be said that after this battle, Xiang Yu's cavalry strength will be transferred from the former leader in the south to the position at the end of the crane.
.
At the same time, Xiang Yu was actually lagging behind Chen Qingzhi at this time. First, the gap was widened by his previous calculations, and then there was the gap in the quality of the soldiers. Except for the thousand soldiers of the Shadow Tiger Legion, the other soldiers
The quality is obviously not as good as that of the White Robes.
Xiang Yu's only advantage in this aspect is himself. Chen Qingzhi can never produce any generals who can compete with Xiang Yu, and even all of them cannot compete with Xiang Yu.
The cavalry of the Xiang clan was very fast, and the charge of the white-robed army was equally fast, so fast that they had no time to shoot the second round of arrows, and they were already charging in front of them.
"Project!" The white-robed soldiers suddenly threw short spears at Xiang Jun's cavalry. Suddenly, there was a shrill sound of air breaking in the sky. Many Xiang Jun's horsemen were directly stabbed in the vital parts by short spears and fell off their horses, causing numerous casualties.
Its number.
After several rounds of long-range confrontations, the enemy and we gradually approached within a few dozen steps. At this time, all the riders were ready for hand-to-hand combat.
The white-robed soldiers drew their sabers and spears from their waists and charged at Xiang Jun's cavalry.
"Go to hell!"
Xiang Yu was like a sophisticated killing machine, and the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd in his hand danced into a whirlwind. The white-robed soldiers in front of him were knocked off their horses one after another, and no one survived.
However, although Xiang Yu is brave, no one in the elite troops like the White Robes can be his enemy, but the soldiers under him are not as capable as him.
The muscles of these soldiers were so weak at this time that they could not perform as well as they should. Not to mention that they were not as good as the white robe army. They were almost beaten to death by the white robe army.
Chen Qingzhi, who was on a chariot with drums beating continuously around him, was beating the drums hard while watching this scene with satisfaction. If this situation continues to develop, it won't take long for him to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Already.
If Xiang Yu wants to change the situation, there are only two ways. The first is to leave in despair to preserve his strength and fight again in the future. The second way is to find Chen Qingzhi and kill him.
Although the first method preserves strength, it actually fails. The second method is that both sides suffer losses. The ten thousand surrendered troops in front can be inspired by Chen Qingzhi to fight to the death, let alone these white-robed soldiers.
They are.
Even if Chen Qingzhi dies, the white-robed army will still fight to the death. Therefore, from the moment Xiang Yu got into Chen Qingzhi's trap, Chen Qingzhi had no hope of winning. It was nothing more than a failure and a lose-lose relationship.
Moreover, since he already knew the opponent's strength, Chen Qingzhi was naturally well prepared.
At the same time, Xiang Yu finally reached an unfavorable situation on the battlefield at this time. If the situation continues, he may really be the loser.
Usually, under his leadership, these knights would break through the enemy's formation with him, and follow him to tear apart the enemy's formation. However, now these knights under him can no longer keep up with his rhythm.
Although he rushed in alone, the soldiers behind him basically didn't have time to rush up together, and only a few could catch up. The enemy army quickly refilled the gap he tore open, but instead
A small number of them were surrounded by enemy troops.
In other words, the white-robed army forcibly separated Xiang Yu from the large group of cavalry behind him. In this way, they ensured an all-out massacre of his troops. Xiang Yu knew that he had also met a master of cavalry warfare.
At this time, Xiang Yu also realized that he had only two choices. Sure enough, an overlord is still an overlord after all. How could he be willing to leave in despair like this? He chose the second way, to find Chen Qingzhi and behead him.
