Along with thousands of arrows being fired, a mist of gray mist roared up in the sky. In the blink of an eye, the gray mist fell, and arrows fell densely like rain on the Zhao army.
Each Zhao soldier held a wooden shield and stood in front of them. Listening to the impact of arrows on the shield, these Zhao soldiers watched helplessly as other Zhao soldiers around them fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.
And because there were too many arrows, many Zhao soldiers holding shields had their thighs pierced by arrows. With a huge sting, the shields fell to the ground, and the next moment several arrows were inserted into Zhao soldiers one after another.
.
Plop~!
The corpse fell to the ground, surrounded by the corpses of Zhao soldiers killed by arrows.
"Defend!"
"Form up!!"
After the rain of arrows, the surviving generals of Zhao soldiers drew their swords one after another, preparing to prepare for the impact of the Qin army's cavalry.
However, due to the previous siege of the Qin army, the Zhao soldiers holding Changge were close to the Qin army behind them, resulting in many casualties. Only when they returned to the defense were they killed by arrows. Now there are only Zhao soldiers holding Changge, and there are not many left.
Thousands of Zhao soldiers gave up their original sharp blades, quickly picked up the Chang Ge from the surrounding battlefield, and ran towards the direction of the Qin army's cavalry. Finally, they held the Chang Ge and formed a formation. The Chang Ge pointed at the Qin Army in the distance.
The direction of the military cavalry.
Another Zhao soldier holding a shield also quickly held a shield and stepped forward to stand beside the Zhao soldiers holding Changge to guard against further arrows from the Qin cavalry army.
Looking down from the sky.
At a glance at the battlefield outside the city, one can see that among the Zhao army that originally surrounded the Qin army, the Zhao army near Jingxing faced the unexpected cavalry and quickly gathered to form a defensive human wall.
This defensive city wall was now surrounded by the Qin Army's cavalry and the Qin Army that had just been besieged.
Fortunately, Zhao Bianqi was an elite member of Li Mu's command. He quickly reacted and Zhao troops from other directions who originally surrounded the Qin army continued to flow from the left and right of the Qin army towards the defense line in the direction of Jingxing.
Zhao Jun's intention was to use the number of people to cancel the encirclement and divide the entire battlefield into two again.
While defending the Qin army's cavalry in the direction of Jingxing, half of the troops were divided to get rid of the Qin army that had just been surrounded.
Boom boom boom~!!!
Bai Yan rode his war horse and looked at the Zhao army in front of him on the left and right sides of the wall. He saw the Zhao army's intention immediately.
Bai Yan knew that once the battlefield was divided, the Qin army under Yang Yan would gradually be eaten away, and then all the Zhao troops would be free to deal with his cavalry.
Now we must take advantage of the fact that Zhao Jun has not yet established a solid defense and tear open the human wall of Zhao Jun's defense!
"Charge the formation, break the formation!"
Bai Yan pointed his sword at Zhao Jun.
This time, Bai Yan did not choose to surround his troops and slowly consume them.
As the horses galloped, looking at the Zhao army getting closer and closer, and seeing the Zhao soldiers pointing long swords at him, Bai Yan recalled that when he was in Yangcheng, the first time he went to the battlefield, it was like this.
nervous.
At that time, when he climbed onto the city tower, there were countless sharp blades and long swords pointing at him.
But it was different from that time. Now he was surrounded by his cavalry soldiers, and he was no longer alone.
Listening to the roar of horse hoofs in his ears, Bai Yan stepped on the stirrups, lowered his head and looked straight ahead.
Boom boom boom~!!!
Among the Zhao army, a famous Zhao soldier holding a long sword and a shield looked at the Qin army's cavalry charging in the distance without any intention of weakening. It seemed that they quickly realized something.
There was a hint of panic in the eyes of all the Zhao soldiers.
Even the generals of the Zhao army looked at the plains not far ahead, where countless Qin army cavalry were spread across the wilderness, rushing towards them like a sea of people.
All Zhao Jun generals swallowed their saliva, and a trace of sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Three hundred steps! Boom boom boom~!!
Two hundred steps! Boom boom boom~!
One hundred steps! Boom boom boom boom~!
Fifty steps!!!!
Under the horrified eyes of all Zhao generals and soldiers.
As the war horses attacked, in the blink of an eye, countless Qin army cavalry, like a surge, instantly destroyed all the Changge defenses in front.
Even though the war horses in front were stabbed by several spears, before those cavalry soldiers could fall from the air, a steady stream of Qin army cavalry from behind rushed towards them alive.
"kill!!"
"kill!"
After Zhao Jun's defense was knocked down, the charging cavalry generals were in high morale. They held long swords and used the impact of the galloping horses to instantly pierce the Zhao soldiers' bodies.
Bai Yan was the commander of the cavalry at the moment, and he had just charged at the front. He was stabbed by Chang Ge when his horse jumped high. Fortunately, Bai Yan had been trained by Chai Te, and after blocking the fatal Chang Ge, he did not suffer any serious decline.
On the ground.
Bai Yan, who has stirrups, displays his superb swordsmanship better than before.
After fighting into the Zhao army, Bai Yan held the Qin sword and killed a Zhao soldier with one sword in the blink of an eye.
The sharp sword scratched Zhao Zu's cheek, the blade was dyed red and blood spattered.
Bai Yan stepped on the stirrup and exerted his strength. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the Zhao soldier coming towards him from the left. He swung his sword and deflected the Zhao soldier's stabbing Chang Ge.
Because he was charging on a war horse, Bai Yan did not kill the Zhao soldier, but continued to kill forward.
Bai Yan knew clearly that the soldiers on the left and right would kill the Zhao soldier.
After a while.
As it goes deeper and deeper.
Bai Yan led his soldiers, riding horses and waving Qin swords, and continuously killed Zhao soldiers blocking the way.
After tearing apart the human wall formed by Chang Ge and fighting all the way to the back, Bai Yan could clearly feel that it was much easier to deal with those Zhao soldiers holding sharp swords.
However, the Zhao army did not have a human wall composed of Chang Ge, and the originally unformed defense line became increasingly weak and could not withstand the front and rear sieges of the cavalry and the Qin army.
A long time passed.
Bai Yan held the Qin sword and rode a war horse, looking at the battlefield ahead.
Zhao Jun's defense line has been torn apart, and the soldiers have joined Yang Yan's army.
Now, what we have to do is to tear this gap wide!
But when Bai Yan was planning to lead his cavalry to tear up a large gap and face the Zhao army on the periphery.
Four Qin army generals and more than twenty Qin soldiers in the distance saw him and hurried towards him on their horses.
Obviously came to find him.
Seeing this, Bai Yan reined in the horse's rope with one hand, feeling a little confused.
During the battle, why did the generals come to him at this time? What was the matter?
As the four generals approached.
"General!"
"General!!"
The four generals of the Qin army bowed their hands to Bai Yan. At this moment, all four of them had blood splattered on their bodies. They had obviously experienced fierce battles.
It was at this time.
Bai Yan saw Yang Yan lying on his horse, with an arrow stuck in Yang Yan's abdomen.
"Take General Yang Yan out of the battlefield quickly!"
Bai Yan opened his mouth and gave instructions.
Looking at the position where Yang Yan was hit by the arrow, Bai Yan knew that if he hadn't been treated early, Yang Yan might not have been able to save his life.
No wonder these Qin army generals came to him in such a hurry at this time.
"promise!"
"promise!!"
The cronies around Yang Yan accepted the order.
Bai Yan watched Yang Yan's cronies leave and then turned to look at the battlefield.
Facing the Zhao army now, Yang Yan was in a coma, and all the Qin soldiers on the battlefield were in his hands.
Within the battlefield.
As the Qin Cavalry soldiers fell to the ground one by one, they became corpses.
On the ground, countless Zhao soldiers had already fallen into a pool of blood.
All Zhao soldiers were stunned when faced with the continuous Qin cavalry. This was not the first time they had fought against the Qin army, but this time the Qin army was more powerful than they imagined.
In fact, it was not the soldiers of Zhao who were confused at this moment.
The generals of the Zhao army who were far away in the city tower were all a little distracted when they saw this scene.
"How can it be!"
"That Qin army's cavalry was so fierce, tearing open the gap forcefully!"
"Except for the cavalry, the commander of the cavalry is so decisive, I'm afraid ordinary generals!"
Several Zhao Jun generals looked at the battlefield situation, looked at each other, and discussed.
One of the Zhao generals, who was in his forties, even bluntly said that the leader of the cavalry must be no ordinary general.
Seeing more and more Zhao soldiers falling in a pool of blood and the entire defense line being torn apart, several Zhao Jun generals were filled with surprise.
Sima Shang was not much better.
At this moment, Sima Shang was not only puzzled about the strength of the Qin cavalry, but even more puzzled as to why the Qin army's cavalry rushed back to Yanyu?
Beside the Zhangshui River.
In Zhao Jun's camp, Li Mu had already ordered people to take the stirrups around and send them to Handan.
In Li Mu's camp, all Zhao army generals gathered in the camp, looked at the map, and discussed the next steps, how to destroy the Qin army.
"Using cavalry against cavalry, our army will suffer too many casualties. Perhaps General Sima Shang can force us to press forward step by step!"
"That's right, Qin Qi is already good at fighting, but now they are all equipped with iron sheets and bronze wares. In a head-to-head encounter, our soldiers will suffer a lot."
The two Zhao army generals looked at the map and spoke first.
After hearing this, other Zhao generals also nodded.
Calculating the time, in an hour or two, the soldiers with the secret message should be able to arrive at Huanyu before dark.
When General Sima Shang learns about the Qin army's cavalry, he will definitely be prepared when he surrounds the Qin army in front of them tomorrow.
Sorry, readers, this update is even later, sorry!
Most of you will not believe it if I tell you that I took the knife at eight o'clock to write this chapter until two o'clock in the morning, six hours.
I'm afraid some readers won't like it if I write about Bai Yan as brave as Xiang Yu. I want to write a Warring States version of 'Xu Xiao', but I'm also afraid that readers won't like it.
Later, I thought of what the editor said, and after thinking about it three times, I still wanted to write it this way, so I’ll post it.
I hesitated for several hours before finally deciding to write what I really wanted to write.
