While the Qin army fired more than 5,000 crossbow arrows, more than 3,000 fireballs soared into the sky from the fan-shaped array of the galloping Jiangdong cavalry, like ignited fire clouds floating in the dark night sky, crossing the beautiful curves
Falling towards the Qin army's camp.
Black light and fire clouds passed by each other, colliding with brilliant sparks, igniting the night sky, and then the black and red colors crossed and passed by, roaring towards their goals.
The standard equipment of the Eight Thousand Jiangdong Iron Cavalry is a spear in each hand. The reason is because Xiang Yu has "ten thousand enemies" in his hands. Therefore, the Eight Thousand Jiangdong Iron Cavalry all learned the spear one after another.
Later, Xiang Yu simply equipped everyone with a spear, which was regarded as the standard equipment of the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry. As for the shield beams, they have been working hard to make them, and now the eight thousand Jiangdong Iron Cavalry are only partially equipped.
The Jiangdong cavalry equipped with a small number of shields happened to be among the three thousand cavalry following Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu's fan-shaped dispersed array greatly weakened the power of the Qin army's crossbows. More than 5,000 crossbows were fired intensively, and many crossbow arrows were shot in the air. In addition, Jiangdong's cavalry waved their spears to block, and hundreds of small
Xiang Yu's bodyguards were shielded, and their casualties were greatly reduced.
More than 5,000 crossbow arrows only caused casualties of less than 1,000 Jiangdong cavalrymen.
However, Xiang Yu's more than 3,000 rockets not only ignited dozens of tents and fences at the camp walls, but also caused thousands of casualties to the Qin army, which was equipped with a large number of shields, because the Qin army stood too densely.
Xiang Yu's Wuzui horse was very fast, so it was far ahead of the Jiangdong cavalry behind him. Da Qin's crossbows were basically aimed at the large number of Jiangdong cavalry behind them, so they did not pose any threat to him.
Behind him, the Jiangdong cavalry's continuous falling horses and the mournful sounds of war horses made Xiang Yu's eyebrows beat nonstop. Every death of a Jiangdong cavalry meant that one of the eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers was missing.
But Xiang Yu knew that he couldn't stop at this time. If he stopped, more Jiangdong cavalry would die here.
The Wuzui horse quickly jumped over trenches one after another and quickly approached the Qin army's camp.
"Archer! Shoot for me!"
Xiang Yu, riding alone in front of him, was very eye-catching. His eyes were wide open and his murderous intent made He Qing, who was across the camp wall, suddenly feel as if he was facing a thousand troops. He felt as if he was facing a thousand troops, and his whole body was filled with chills.
He Qing pointed at Xiang Yu who was flying towards him and ordered loudly. He saw that Xiang Yu was the commander of these three thousand cavalry.
Feather arrows flew towards Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu easily blocked them, getting closer and closer to the camp.
The death of more than a thousand companions did not frighten the Jiangdong cavalry who were less than two thousand behind Xiang Yu. Instead, it aroused the hatred in their hearts. The horses were beating their crotches desperately and wanted to fly to the camp to kill the Qin army.
!
"Open it! Open it! Open it!"
Xiang Yu had already approached the fence wall of Dong Daying at this moment, his tongue was like thunder, and with three loud shouts of "kai", he slashed the "Ten Thousand Enemies" in his hand towards the wooden camp wall.
A series of "click!"... "click!" sound, sawdust flew everywhere!
The "Ten Thousand Enemy", which weighed more than a hundred kilograms and was made of fine iron, easily tore apart wooden fences as thick as calves and smashed them into pieces. In an instant, a foot-wide passage appeared in front of Xiang Yu.
Thousands of Qin soldiers in the Qin Dynasty looked at the strong knight who was more than ten feet tall and wielded a spear-like weapon with a strangely thick arm. In the blink of an eye, the two-layer fence was torn to pieces, and they collectively lost their voice.
Humanoid beasts are nothing more than that!
The Qin army was distracted, but Xiang Yu did not stop and rushed his horse through the gap to rush into the camp.
"ah!"
The three-foot-long "Ten Thousand Enemies" was swung sideways by Xiang Yu, and with a heavy sound of breaking through the air, it was smashed towards the Qin army blocking the way.
A series of muffled "bang bang bang" sounds were followed by the sound of bones breaking.
The five Qin soldiers standing together at the front had their chests deeply dented, spitting out dirty blood with broken internal organs, and died on the spot before even letting out a scream.
The powerful force knocked these five soldiers away and hit the Qin army behind them hard. All the Qin soldiers who were hit had their bones broken and their tendons broken, screaming and falling to the ground. The formation in front of the Qin army suddenly changed.
A chaos.
Although the Qin army reacted with fear, they still rushed forward one after another, shouting and fighting. He Qing was the first to attack Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu could easily recognize that this was a general from He Qing's attire. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stabbed an approaching Qin soldier across with a spear in his hand, and directed towards He Qing with a pool of blood.
Smashed it over.
He Qing quickly dodged the corpses of the Qin soldiers flying over, jumped up and rushed towards Xiang Yu who was sitting on Wu Zui's horse. As He Qing killed him, the other Qin soldiers also rushed up and chopped them down.
The horse's legs are chopped off, and the horse's legs are poked.
Xiang Yu's hand, which was more than three feet long, swung the sword lightly, and the sharp spearhead of the sword tore the armor of the Qin soldiers who were attached to it as easily as cutting through leather, bringing up patches of blood.
cut their bodies.
As the spears passed by, more than ten Qin soldiers who were approaching were disemboweled and fell to the ground. The rich smell of blood suddenly filled the camp.
He Qing had already arrived in front of Xiang Yu and took advantage of the situation. He grabbed the long sword in his hand with both hands and slashed it towards Xiang Yu's head, intending to directly split Xiang Yu's man and horse in half.
Xiang Yu couldn't help but swung the spear in his hand and slammed it into the falling sword.
Swords and guns intersect, sparks fly!
The "clang" sounds that made people feel sore at the roots of their teeth alternated. The strong impact made the black horse under Xiang Yu's crotch couldn't help but take two steps back. Xiang Yu didn't move at all, but He Qing was thrown away by the force and shot backwards.
But Xiang Yu obviously didn't want to let He Qing go like this, so he pressed his legs between the horse's belly and chased after him two steps before firing out the spear in his hand.
In He Qing's eyes, Xiang Yu's sharp, barbed spearhead was getting bigger and bigger, and a look of despair appeared on his face.
"Poof!"
Blood splattered everywhere, and Xiang Yu's spear penetrated He Qing's chest while he was still in the air.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xiang Yu held up the ten thousand enemies with He Qing's body hanging in one hand and laughed loudly!
The thick blood slid down the spear and dripped to the ground!
Everything happens in the blink of an eye.
The Qin army in the camp looked at Xiang Yu who was laughing wildly, and all took a step back!
"kill!"
A low-level general who looked like a hundred generals shouted and rushed forward again. The sound of "kill" immediately woke up thousands of Qin soldiers who were still in shock, and they immediately rushed forward with shouts and shouts.
There were very few cases of the Qin army collapsing on the battlefield, not to mention that He Qing who died was just a Quhou. Looking at the battles since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, there were very few precedents of soldiers surrendering, and there were even very few prisoners.
The Qin army was defeated, and the soldiers either died on the spot or committed suicide to sacrifice their country!
Of course, the 200,000 prisoners and soldiers who surrendered to Xiang Yu in Julu in later generations are not included, because they were all prisoners who formed an army and could not be counted as the real regular army of the Qin Dynasty. By that time, all the 100,000 soldiers of Wang Li's headquarters had died in the battle.
.
Xiang Yu turned his hand and threw He Qing, who was hanging on top of ten thousand enemies, into the charging Qin army's formation, and rode up to meet him alone.
Chop, chop, pick, poke, Xiang Yu used it superbly in his hands to attack ten thousand enemies with a stick that was more than three feet long. From time to time, soldiers of the Qin army were thrown away and fell to the ground. For a time, many Qin soldiers could not get closer than three feet away from him.
within.
"Crack!"
There was a loud noise, and the camp wall of Dongying was torn apart by more than a hundred Jiangdong cavalry using ropes.
More than two thousand Jiangdong cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, roared and charged into the camp with spears in their hands.
Since Xiang Yu, who was the first to rush into the camp, attracted the attention of most of the Qin army, and He Qing was killed by Xiang Yu when they met, there were basically no threatening blows from the Qin army behind the more than two thousand Jiangdong cavalry.
Although the Qin army had bows and soldiers, it was obviously too dependent on the powerful, long-range and easy-to-operate Qin crossbows, which virtually weakened the role of the Qin army's bows and soldiers, so there were not many bows and soldiers deployed in the army.
Hearing the sound of the fence tearing apart, immediately some low-level generals led their soldiers to greet them. The Qin soldiers were no strangers to cavalry battles, although without the command of senior generals, there was some confusion.
More than 2,000 soldiers of the Qin Dynasty formed a formation to meet more than 2,000 Jiangdong cavalry, and they collided with Jiangdong cavalry in an instant.
The powerful impact of the cavalry was fully demonstrated at this moment. If anyone could look from the sky to the ground at this moment, they would find that the originally meticulous Qin army's infantry phalanx was like a sponge-like dent at the moment the two armies collided.
Got in.
The Jiangdong cavalry used the twenty-eight cavalry who had been following Xiang Yu as arrows to penetrate deeply into the Qin army's infantry formation, and gradually expanded the scope of the tear.
In the contact battle between infantry and cavalry, the spears imitating Xiang Yu's 10,000-man cavalry and equipped by the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry showed their unparalleled power when they appeared on the battlefield for the first time.
The advantage of being one inch longer and one inch stronger is obvious. At the moment of the collision, many Qin soldiers did not even come into contact with Jiangdong Cavalry, and were pierced by Jiangdong Cavalry's more than three feet long spear and fell to the ground.
The Jiangdong cavalry broke into the Qin army's formation, and the rear army automatically formed a cavalry formation again, tearing a hole from the gap where it had previously broken in, and quickly cut through the Qin army's infantry phalanx.
Soon the infantry phalanx consisting of more than 2,000 people was split into three sections, and gradually expanded the results of the battle, quickly advancing towards Xiang Yu who was surrounded by numerous Qin troops on the other side and was still fighting left and right.
Although the Qin army's infantry phalanx was divided into three sections by Jiangdong's cavalry, it still firmly dragged the Jiangdong's cavalry forward. The Qin army's infantry, which was unable to reach Xiang Yu with the skidding formation on the side, suddenly formed another square formation.
They rushed towards the Jiangdong cavalry who was about to rush out.
At this moment, Xiang Yu also discovered that his Jiangdong cavalry had entered the Qin army's camp. He had just had a brief confrontation with the Qin army. Although he had killed at least hundreds of Qin soldiers, the Qin army still killed him without fear of death, which made him also
I can't help but admire him.
He knew very well that if the cavalry fell into the Qin army's infantry phalanx, then faced with a Qin army twice as large as his own, the Jiangdong cavalry, which had lost the advantage of the cavalry's rapid maneuverability, would eventually have to live and die in the thousands of Qin army's infantry phalanx.
middle.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu spurred his horse and began to charge towards the direction of Jiangdong's cavalry.
