Chapter 40: Riding

"Horse the wall?!" After giving the military order, Hun Hsu looked at the direction where King Jing was running. In the Battle of Weinan, the dragon cavalry of the Chu army would rather move forward quickly than form a cliff. The Qin army really fell before the cliff, which gave him a very deep impression and remembered it until today. At this time, King Jing and his guards formed a cliff again, and he naturally couldn't help but be surprised.

The function of a cavalry is similar to a spear formation. Countless spears gather together, and the spears are next to the spears and cannot rush in no matter what. Ordinary cavalry charges are like scattered spears and soldiers in their own formations. Although they are brave, there is a large gap between them and they will be easily killed by the cavalry. Facing the Jing King's cavalry charge, the cavalry in the front row can only avoid it. The cavalry who cannot avoid it rushes up and faces at least two huge swords, and will inevitably be overwhelmed.

Another fatal problem is the horse. The five-foot-eight-inch Qin horse is one foot shorter than the dragon horse and has a circle smaller. The two sides were timid before he hedging. When they were pinched and hit by two dragon horses, the Qin cavalry may be overturned. Even if they do not fall, they will stand on the spot. The heavier and faster dragon cavalry swept past without any damage.

"Luo Jia!" Seeing the phoenix flag several miles away getting closer, Huo shouted Luo Jia.

"The last general is here." Luo Jia's cavalry was equivalent to the rear army of Feng. Seeing that King Jing had dispersed through Li Bi's fence, Guan shouted Luo Jia.

"Kill King Jing!" Guan Fen pointed at the Fengqi five miles away and said viciously. He felt that his order to kill King Jing had just tied up Li Bi's hands and feet.

"The last general Jingnuo!" Luo Jia and Jingnuo were still on their mouths, and the man had already rushed out. Nearly a thousand cavalrymen under his command chased him, rumbling towards the phoenix flag five miles away. The wind blew northward, and the dust from the Qin cavalry blew into the Chu army array that formed a formation to protect themselves.

"Where is the Marquis Xiang?! Where is the Marquis Gui?! Where is the Marquis Xiang?! Where is the Marquis Gui..." The first division led Yangzi to his eyes completely red. He was caught off guard by the Qin cavalry. There were only less than three thousand soldiers in the first division's array. Including the archers, at least one thousand people disappeared.

During the military discussion, he remembered that Xiong Jing mentioned at least three times that the Qin cavalry needed to stop it, Xiang Chao was responsible for the right wing and Gui Jing was responsible for the left wing, but he did not expect that both of them were insulting the mission. No one answered his question, and no one knew where the 15,000 Chu army knights were going. He finally roared angrily and punched his breastplate with both fists.

"General, Da Ao is in danger!" A soldier pointed at the Qin cavalry rushing towards the Fengqi. The cavalry and soldiers on both sides were about to fight. Because of the angle, they could only see the back of the Qin cavalry, and the three-headed Fengqi flying in the wind.

‘Boom, boom…’ The sound of cannons continued to sound fifteen miles away, and the sharp-eyed civil servant pointed to the south and shouted: “Fei, Feixun! It’s Feixun! The division leads, there is news from the shogunate.”

Only the sound of cannons can arouse the attention of the soldiers of the Chu army. When they heard the sound of cannons, they looked at the distant shogunate involuntarily. The shogunate sent a clear code, four simple words: "Don't break the formation!"

The Qin cavalry's return attack was the result of the Chu cavalry being lured away by them. Even if the Qin cavalry sent out 20,000 horsemen, they could drag the Chu cavalry for one or two quarters of an hour. With the time of running on the road, it would take at least half an hour for the Chu cavalry to return to the rescue, and at most four quarters of an hour.

The Qin cavalry has appeared less than two quarters of an hour, which means that at least one minute or more or two minutes at most, the Chu cavalry will return to the rescue. We must hold on during this period. If the Qin people really succeed, the Chu army may be wiped out here.

The shogunate only asked the divisions not to collapse, and did not say what to do if Da Ao is in danger. In fact, they didn't know what to do, but one thing is clear: Da Ao was killed, and as long as the Chu army was still there, the Chu State could barely stabilize the situation; in order to save Da Ao, the Chu army was defeated and unsealed without the protection of the Chu army, how could Da Ao survive in the face of the large-scale counterattack of the Qin people?

Of course, the best result is that both the Da Ao and the Chu army infantry are safe, so we can only pray for the Grand Secretary’s life. For sixteen hours a day, there are 100 arrows in the leaking pot, and one quarter of an hour is 14:4 minutes. Da Ao has to hold on for at least twenty minutes, and at most for forty minutes to get rid of the Qin cavalry’s pursuit.

It was expected that this was the case, but when Zhuang Wudi saw nearly a thousand cavalry surrounding Xiong Jing from Lu Lijing, Lu Lijing was thrown to the ground by him. The guards only had more than fifty cavalry, and the Qin cavalry captured it. Not to mention twenty minutes, they could not hold on for a minute.

"Ga!Ga..." There was an interception in front and a pursuit of soldiers, and the guards galloped with all their might form a cone formation. Xiong Jing was originally at the forefront. Before the fight, Zhuang Quji and Lu Yangyan clamped the horse hard, trying to surpass Xiong Jing by half a horse and take the lead in fighting with the Qin cavalry. Xiong Jing, who had suffered a loss, was already prepared. As soon as they clamped the horse, his mount neighed and rushed out.

The arrows shot by Qin cavalry happened to fly against the wind. These arrows either land on the shield or whistled by. Qin cavalry, who abandoned the bow and pulled the sword, shouted: "Kill King Jing! Kill King Jing..."

The sound of thunderous hooves in his ears, and he couldn't hear the shouts of Qin cavalry against Feng Xiongjing. The bumps on the horse's back made him tremble, but the sword in his hand was tightly held. In line with the rhythm of the horse's galloping, he inhaled deeply and exhaled deeply, staring at the cavalryman who was coming towards him. The moment the opponent swung his sword, he had already stabbed a fatal sword with a distance and angle.

The long sword quickly pierced into Qin's shoulders and neck, and then quickly pulled out along the forward rushing forward. The Chu Qin cavalry who charged at full speed roared and passed by. The Qin cavalry was not in one row, but in several rows. After stabbing the first cavalry to death, the second cavalry directly slashed on Xiong Jing's shield with a sword, and the iron sword immediately bent; the third cavalry rushed forward and stabbed with an iron sword. Xiong Jing did not avoid this sword. The sword edge stabbed on the giant armor, making a sharp metal froze. He stabbed the man's belly and hip without leather armor protection with a sword from top to bottom, and blood burst out when he pulled the sword.

In order to reduce weight and to be more like the Chu cavalry, the Qin cavalry, who rarely seized the Chu cavalry, could only wear red clothes to fight. Even so, they wore the pants wrong, and they wore the horny bells that soldiers from various countries often wore.

"Kill King Jing..." Another cavalry rushed over. He did not wave his sword, but directly collided with Xiong Jing. Although the Chu army's light cavalry did not have a full set of vests, the horse's head armor and horse's breastplate were always worn. The half-ton dragon horse hit the body of a military horse with only 300 kilograms. The war horse protected by the huge armor hit the war horse without any protection. The cavalry flew out with his horse, and screamed without accepting it. Fortunately, his feet did not stop.

"Kill!" Xiong Jing looked at a Qin cavalry following behind him and suddenly shouted. The Qin cavalry was so scared that his movements were obviously stagnant. When he passed by, Xiong Jing slashed his sword. His head wearing a brown helmet flew into the sky with blood.

"Ah--!" Xiong Jing, who had killed several people in a row, couldn't help but roar. He liked the feeling of bloody fighting. He liked slaughtering the Qin soldiers who rushed towards him like a dog.

"Ahhh... Long live Ao!" Xiong Jing rushed over Luo Jia's cavalry. When the Chu soldiers saw the last scene when he rushed out, he cut off the heads of the Qin people. They immediately cheered, and some people jumped with their barbarian spears, rushing out of the array excitedly to assassinate the Qin cavalry running around the spear formation.

"General Zhao!" Zhao Teng, the general of the Chow Cavalry, stood beside Zhu Fen, and shouted at him with great enthusiasm, but did not issue any orders.

"Kill King Jing!" Zhao Teng bowed to him neatly and said in a deep voice.

Just as the heavy cavalry was the elite of the Chu cavalry, the Choca was the elite of the Qin cavalry, but these two elites never confronted each other head-on. Before the decisive battle, the three thousand cavalry were not arranged in the array, but after the subsequent resurgence, considering that they wanted to break the Jing people's spear formation, the one thousand cavalry, one man and two horses followed the south.

King Jing and the guards who protected King Jing were wearing huge armor and iron helmets on their heads. This is why Li Biluo's light cavalry was difficult to hurt and kill them. In addition to the advantage of the dragon horse, once they were broken through, it would be difficult for them to catch up with King Jing again. This is the reason why King Jing survived to this day.

Zhu Fen knew this truth, and Zhao Teng also knew this truth. The current method was to use the Chokha to attack King Jing and King Jing’s guards, and to kill King Jing with the heavy armor and spear of the Chokha.

After Zhao Teng finished speaking, he ran back to the formation of the Chow cavalry. The thousand Chow cavalry were divided into two rows in front and back, listing a cavalry formation about three miles wide. Because the knight was carrying heavy iron armor, the Chow cavalry started to sprint, then ran in small steps, and sprinted when they rushed to the formation. Obviously, the Chow cavalry regarded Xiong Jing and the guards as an army formation.

"Go to the left!" Zhuang Quji, who was rushing up from behind, shouted, and the knights on both sides immediately forced Xiong Jing to run to the left.

The Chow cavalry is heavy, and after two or three miles of running, the military horses that are too light will not be able to support it. Zhuang Quji planned to avoid these Chow cavalry. But the Qin people would fight out of the Chow cavalry at this time, so they naturally calculated the distance. At this time, the two sides were less than one mile apart, and the formation was three miles wide, so they could no longer go around. The only way was to turn around, but the two Qin cavalry that they had just rushed over and chased after.

When people were on the battlefield, there were shouting and storming on all sides. Xiong Jing didn't want to run back in the flash of light and lightning, nor did he want to bypass the problem of the cavalry array. He instinctively refused to avoid the Qin cavalry array. He wanted to rush over and kill Zhu Fen.

"Run!" he shouted, and turned to the north, rushing towards the cavalry, which had only more than a hundred steps.

The knight on the right had to turn right because of his right turn. Zhuang Quji on the left sighed in his heart, and could only turn right when he drove the horse. The horse galloped. Zhao Teng, who knew that King Jing could not escape his own array, shouted loudly when he saw this: "Kill King Jing!"

"Kill King Jing!" The cavalry spear had already been put down, and the cavalry and knights were running while gathering together in this section of war with King Jing.

The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the guards no longer maintained a cone formation. They clamped the horses hard and stabbed the war horses under their crotch with the spurs behind their boots to make them run wildly. As the dragon and horses roared, more than fifty cavalry formed a crooked but gradually straight array, and tried their best to move closer to Xiong Jing in the middle. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they could no longer form a dense clan.
