Just after the 3,000 cavalry led by He Yutai used more than 2,000 thunderbolt bombs to overwhelm Cao Shen's cavalry, they then led their troops into Cao Shen's cavalry formation and were heavily surrounded by them. Seeing that the situation was deteriorating.
However, the 27,000 Qin infantry who rushed up surrounded Cao Shenjun, who had only more than 10,000 cavalry left.
When the Qin army's infantry came up, they formed a formation of five thousand archers and fired at Cao Shen's cavalry.
In the situation of heavy losses, Cao Shen could only detach a part of the cavalry to rush towards the Qin infantry. The pressure on the surrounded Qin cavalry was suddenly reduced.
However, the Qin infantry were not just ordinary people. They were all armed with spears more than two meters long and had long swords. They were not at a disadvantage in the face of the cavalry who had no stirrups and lost the advantage of attacking.
The Qin army relied on the human sea tactic to erode Liu Bang's more than 10,000 cavalry bit by bit...
And Cao Shen, who led the cavalry army, became more and more panicked as the battle progressed. Why...the lord's main infantry army hasn't arrived yet?
It stands to reason that we should have been chasing him close by long ago. Could it be that... we were ambushed by the Qin army again?
When the battle reached Yi Zhu Xiang, Cao Shen saw the Qin army's increasingly tight and shrinking encirclement, and was extremely shocked... Is this the same Qin army that collapsed in the first battle of Guandong?
Thousands of Qin cavalry had been surrounded, and even after dragging them for a long time, Cao Shen could not bite them off.
Cao Shen realized that if he delayed it any longer, all the cavalry might be lost here. After analyzing the situation,
He decisively charged towards a point in the Qin army's encirclement. Relying on the remaining main cavalry, he finally broke through the encirclement and led the remaining army towards Yaoguan without looking back...
However, Cao Shen only led 3,000 cavalry to rush out. There were still nearly 5,000 cavalry in the encirclement. When the cavalry saw their general escaping, they were desperate and no longer wanted to fight.
They all dismounted, threw down their weapons and surrendered to the Qin army.
And He Yutai's three thousand cavalry were eventually reduced to less than one thousand Qin cavalry in the encirclement, which made him heartbroken.
But after looking at the results of the battle, I was quite satisfied. In this battle, the surprise effect of "Thunderbolt" was used to behead more than 12,000 Liu Bang's knights and surrender more than 5,000 troops.
Get eleven thousand war horses and ride them!
However... his commander escaped. The goal of this battle was to completely annihilate Liu Bang's army.
Of course, He Yutai was not willing to give in. He immediately led the remaining one thousand riders and chased after Cao Shen...
...
At this time, He Yutai led thousands of Qin cavalry to chase Cao Shen and passed by the flank of the main force of the Qin army. He paused and saw that they had won a complete victory.
With the corners of his mouth raised, he swung his riding whip again and led more than a thousand Qin cavalry to continue chasing Cao Canjun.
When Qin Cavalry Deputy General Wang Da saw it, he also smiled. The cavalry finally won the battle! Although I don’t know if it is a complete victory.
He shouted loudly: "All knights listen to the order! Follow me to catch up with General He Yutai, reinforce General Li, and annihilate Liu Bang!!"
All the Qin troops heard the roar from the back mountain and shouted like a tsunami: "Annihilate Liu Bang! Annihilate Liu Bang!..."
Wang Da still has more than 1,200 cavalry left, plus He Yutai's 1,000 cavalry, combined with Li Xin's hundreds of cavalry, it is enough to beat the drowned dog.
...
It is said that Li Xin has led five hundred Qin cavalry to pursue Liu Bang for almost an hour. At this time, the soldiers and horses are exhausted, and the bloody courage that he just rushed into Liu Bang's army has been almost exhausted.
But seeing Liu Bang's hundreds of cavalry more than a mile away, they could catch up with Liu Bang as long as they persisted a little longer. Thinking of this, the Qin army soldiers braced themselves up and continued to speed up the pursuit.
Li Xin was very calm at this moment, because he had already calculated that he would be able to successfully intercept this cavalry force before Liu Bang reached Aoguan.
After chasing for half a stick of incense, Liu Bang's marching speed in front seemed to be slightly slower.
Li Xin and others were overjoyed. They increased their speed to the extreme and caught up with Liu Bang and others in just a few breaths.
Without saying a word, Li Xin took the lead. After contacting the enemy, he took down the two knights with a halberd.
The Qin army behind them pounced on him like hungry wolves. With just one encounter, Liu Bang had already lost more than 80 knights.
Liu Bang and several counselors were so frightened that their faces turned pale, they whipped their riding whips, and without caring about anything else, they speeded up and ran forward...
When Li Xin saw it, he shouted: "Don't worry about these cavalry, tear open the defense line and go straight to Liu Bang!"
After hearing this, all the Qin cavalry became energetic. In a moment, hundreds of Qin cavalry gathered together and cut the hundreds of cavalry led by Liu Bang into two pieces like a sharp knife.
Li Xin was the first to break out of the defense line, and the Qin army behind him filed out, chasing Liu Bang's remaining dozens of troops...
In less than ten breaths, the hundreds of blocking cavalry were left behind.
Liu Bang's hundreds of cavalry were stunned and at a loss. With the current defeat, they were no match for the Qin army.
suddenly!
The sound of rumbling sounded, and the cavalry looked to the rear, only to see thousands of cavalry coming desperately towards the direction of Aoguan.
When they got closer, they saw that the leader was General Cao Shen. The knights were overjoyed and finally found their backbone.
When Cao Shen saw that it was his own cavalry, he stopped for a moment and asked where Liu Bang was. When the cavalry said that the Lord was being pursued by the Qin army,
The murderous intent on Cao Shen's face became more and more intense, and he led all the cavalry to speed up and rush forward.
I vow to kill this small group of Qin cavalry!
...
Li Xin led hundreds of cavalry to catch up with Liu Bang in about a quarter of an hour. This time he did not charge directly because the enemy cavalry, including the commander, only had about fifty cavalry.
Li Xin ordered all the Qin cavalry to surround Liu Bang and dozens of people, and then led the horse reins to the few people who looked like the commander.
"Are you still running? Who is Liu Bang?"
Liu Bang was desperate at this time and he cherished his life. Unexpectedly, the Qin army was like a dog-skin plaster, chasing after him
It seems like there is no escape today...
"I am Liu Bang! Who are you?"
Li Xin looked at the middle-aged man who replied with a surprised expression. He didn't expect that Liu Bang was also a handsome man with a gentlemanly demeanor.
Liu Bang was also surprised and said: "Xiao He, why are you pretending to be me?"
Xiao He wanted to go up and give Liu Bang a few slaps. What time had it been? He even admitted his identity: "My lord, you... why did you admit it... Hey..."
Liu Bang smiled hoarsely and said: "Xiao He, when you and I raised our troops in Dang County, we were already prepared for today. We can't escape, so what's the point of pretending to be me."
The corner of Li Xin's mouth raised: "You are pretty cool. I admire you for being able to fight all the way to Lantian Camp, Liu Peigong. Haha."
At this time, Liu Bang had no regard for life and death and said calmly: "Who are you? Who is the coach of the Qin army? You can tell me."
Li Xin laughed loudly and said: "Pei Gong, Pei Gong, today's situation is exactly what I have set up. I am the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, and so is Li Xin."
Liu Bang and everyone were shocked: "Are you Li Xin?"
Xiao He was also surprised and asked: "Could it be Li Xin who participated in the war to destroy Yan and Chu?"
Li Xin: "That's right."
After hearing this, Xiao He looked up to the sky and laughed helplessly, and then turned to look at Liu Bang: "My lord, we did not lose unjustly. Li Xin was already famous when he was young and was a famous general. If we had known that Li Xin was leading the army in Guanzhong, we would never have known it.
