Chapter 44: Golden Fire Cavalry

"Success in front--!!!"
This time, we will have a decisive battle with Qin State. Here is a Chinese army composed of more than 200,000 people, which is moving at a certain speed and stretching for ten miles. At this time, a ride came from the front, shouting and running along the team until the handsome flag. The knight jumped from the horse, knelt on one knee and arched:
"Marshal Rin, a good news ahead, the Major General rescued Shangshui and Shang Cai with more than a thousand defenders, broke thousands of enemies and infantry, and beheaded a captain!"
"Oh?" Xiang Yan was taken aback, "Come on, express to show me."
"Yes."
The knight quickly got up and came to Xiang Yanma and handed him a bamboo slip. Xiang Yan looked at it carefully three times, and the slightly clouded eyebrows stretched out, and he laughed.
"My Chu Kingdom will not die!" he said boldly: "Come here, report this news to the king, and pass the three armies."
Then he heard the order of the school captain, and took someone to handle Xiang Yan's account. He read the bamboo slip again, thinking in his heart, ‘It’s my grandchildren’s deeds’.
"Where is the major general now?" he asked about it.
"The major general is leading his men and women all the way to pursue the enemy." The knight answered again.
Xiang Yan thought for a while, and felt that something was wrong. "If you tell me that you are handsome, you will not be able to chase after him."
"Yes." The knight stepped on the horse and drove away.
Half an hour later, the second rider yelled ‘reward ahead
and drove to Xiang Yan to stop.
"Return to Marshal, the major general assaulted the Qin outpost camp, beheaded a captain, and broke the enemy's 10,000 infantry."
What the knight said to destroy the enemy is the number of enemies before the attack. The number of people killed after the attack was not counted, and the opponent was directly dispersed. This is because the speed of Jingyu's march is too fast. Once the enemy loses his will to fight, he will lead the army to the farther enemy line. Therefore, even if his cavalry later killed the enemy near Dazhai, there were still many Qin soldiers behind them. However, these soldiers of the Qin Kingdom saw his name and evaded far away, unable to resist the slightest.
Xiang Yan's heart jumped when he heard the news. He was worried that Jingyu was young and full of spirits and did not know the depth. After reading the performance report, he carefully inquired about Jingyu's position of soldiers and horses, and issued a strict order again, asking Jingyu to bring his soldiers back.
However, after another half an hour, another ride came, yelling ‘Very Good News’, and shocked the sweat on Xiang Yan’s head. He directly gave an order to Xiang Liang who was in the former army, asking him to bring as many cavalry as possible to meet Jingyu. In fact, before his order was given, Xiang Liang had already collected nearly 10,000 riders under his command and greeted him in the direction of Jingyu movement.
At dusk, the army camped. Xiang Yan walked around in the handsome account, quite agitated, and from time to time he would ask aloud if there was any news from the second general in front.
Besides, on the other hand, when Jingyu issued an order to stop chasing, he could have horsepower to keep up with his Chu cavalry, leaving only nearly a thousand light riders. The remaining heavy armoured cavalrymen slowed down on the road and were controlled by four school captains. This continuous battle for half a day, always charging ahead in person, it really made him feel a little tired.
At this time it was already dark, Jingyu strangled Ma rein, even if he was brave, he could not rush into the enemy camp with his own force.
"Er Master, are we a little too deep." Xu Xiaowei, who was following him, also cooled his brain at this time, only to realize that his own horse and horse were in a clear situation before and after the Qin army. Especially in the front, the ignition light in the Qin army camp can be seen here a few miles away. Its huge scale really cast a shadow on the Chu cavalry who were excited to kill the enemy along the way.
"Hey, just to let Qin Jun know that Chu is not empty." Jingyu said deliberately, so that the soldiers behind him couldn't help but recall the fighting today, and the momentum was high again. He turned Ma rein, "Remember me to teach you how to play? If you encounter a chase when you go back, you can try it."
His light cavalry, if it is somewhat different from the heavy cavalry, is that each horse is equipped with two arrows, filled with sharp arrows with sharp metal arrows. In this half-day chase battle, Jingyu strictly controlled their use of arrows. Moreover, the bows used are all bowstrings made from a tendon on the animal's back. Its effective range is extremely far, and even when it is closer, it can penetrate the heavy armor of this era with sharp metal arrows.
In Jingyu's cavalry regiment just turned around and left, thousands of cavalry soldiers from the camp. Identified from the red flag in the firelight, it should be the golden fire cavalry of Qin's elite Meng family. The two cavalry drove forward and backward to the distance. Jingyu's cavalry speed was not fast at first. Only when the two sides were one mile apart, he ordered to increase the movement speed of Qingqi.
The Golden Fire Cavalry is still slowly approaching. But when it reached 150 meters, from the Qingqi formation, arrows shot wave after wave, as if it would not stop. The first dozens of riders were unprepared, and all of them hit their arrows.
In the formation, a general quickly ordered the army to raise the shield to resist, and accelerated the horse speed, trying to charge the enemy. The Qingqi also accelerated the horse speed immediately, which was basically equivalent to that of the Golden Fire Cavalry behind. Arrows continued to shoot backwards without giving the Golden Fire Cavalry a chance to approach. The Golden Fire Cavalry tried to shoot with a crossbow several times, but immediately used the crossbow to have limited power. When the arrow was over 100 meters, it lost its accurate head.
After a while, although the light cavalry temporarily took the advantage, Xu Xiaowei was somewhat worried.
"Young Master, your horse is good, let's go first. The subordinates must vow to drag this cavalry." He said quietly to Jingyu. The light horse's spare horse power is no longer sufficient to support a long run. He reckoned that the horsepower would start to weaken in half an hour. Once pulled close by the heavy cavalry behind, there was no resistance at all. If you enter the shooting range of the opponent's crossbow arrows, you will definitely die.
Jingyu smiled, "It's fine, keep going like this, I have another ambush waiting for them."
auzw.com "Other?" Xu Xiaowei stayed for a moment, thinking: ‘Could it be that the other army is not weak, but the young master intends to stay? ’
Hearing that Qin Jun could not catch up, he insulted, and Jingyu sneered: "I'll say hello to them."
Jingyu took a big bow from the mount, which was made of tiger tendons. In his quiver, there are only ten metal arrows, each with a length of 130 cm. The rear sergeants gave way to him, Jingyu suddenly vacated the horse, stepped on the bow arm, pulled the bow string, and took the bow to shoot the arrow. The six-stone strong bow was pulled away instantly by him, and a sharp arrow rang out through the air.
Ding, sparks flashing in the distance, and a sharp impact sound can be heard even in this horse.
"Huh?" Jingyu was a little surprised. "Good armor."
The armor of the general had withstood his arrow and was not shot through.
In the Qin Army Front, also wearing black armor, a burly general inlaid with Phnom Penh, glaring at the little figure in the Chu army in front. In his hand, there is a two-piece long Ge Nai who was just cut off when he just blocked the arrow. There is a small sharp hole in the chest armor, which is just caused by the arrow.
Although the arrow did not pierce his armor, the force penetrated it, still giving him a suffocation in the chest. Moreover, if he had not responded quickly and clamped the belly of the horse with his legs, he might be hit by the horse and trampled by hoof hooves.
"It's a terrible guy!" There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Obviously, although he walked through a ghost gate, he was not afraid at all.
"General!" someone called him next to him.
"No hindrance, continue to pursue, you must wipe out these Chu cavalry." He is rich in order with great authority.
"Yes." The man bowed his hand and passed the order.
The general dropped his hand and interrupted Ge, pulling out his waist sword, ‘I’ll see how powerful your arrow can be. ’
Jingyu really opened his bow and arrow again, but it was not him but the man holding the flag behind him. This time, the powerful power of that arrow showed. The person who was shot was taken straight down the horse. After the arrow passed through his chest, he stopped again only after killing one more person.
Jingyu did not shoot again. He had a special arrow and lost one, but it was difficult to replenish it.
The light cavalry once again moved forward half a quarter of an hour, just past a low slope. The golden fire cavalry behind it doubtlessly caught it, but suddenly killed a heavy armored cavalry from that low slope. The Golden Fire Cavalry faced an ambush without any consternation, and separated a part of the heavy armored cavalry who faced upwards. The remaining about 500 horses were still light cavalry who had begun to slow down.
‘Good guy, the appetite is not small. ’
Jingyu raised a sneer arc at the corner of his mouth, and Chang Ge waved, the entire Qingqi army abandoned the formation and completely spread out in the open terrain.
It is true that the heavy cavalry's impact is terrible, but only when something strikes it can it show its power. Now, Qianqi is in dozens of directions. Is it possible to chase down with 500 rides? It is okay to concentrate on attacking each break, but there will still be bows and arrows shooting at the enemy riders from other directions. In this way, the enemy shield that can only resist one side loses its effect. Conversely, if the five hundred horses were dispersed, the impact of heavy cavalry would be lost. At this time, it was Jingyu's world.
If this tactic is useless when there are many people, it is very effective when there are few people.
The general also instantly judged it, and beckoned to stop the knights. Looked at dozens of enemy squads that also stopped not far away and started to gather.
"Interesting." He smiled uninhibitedly. "Break the enemy brigade first."
He took five hundred horses, and moved towards the cavalry who fought against Jingyu's heavy armor.
"Young Master, what should I do?" Xu Xiaowei asked Jingyu, "If they don't rescue, they will be wiped out by the whole army."
Jingyu's eyes narrowed slightly. The elite troops of the Qin State Golden Fire Cavalry, Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, Anxi Town Army and so on. In the end, how powerful they are, he wants to get a good look at this battle of Qin and Chu.
"You are on guard here, I will meet the Golden Fire Cavalry." Jing Yu's Chang Ge patted the horse's and galloped toward the Cavalry Warrior.
In today's battle, the cavalry of those who followed him was so high. Waiting for work at this time, but also a sudden attack, temporarily showing no decline. They rushed down the slope, fighting with the Golden Fire Cavalry for one round, and then separated. After a certain distance, Mercedes-Benz went around in a circle and came back again.
In this way, when Jingyu rushed to the low slope, the two sides had already engaged in three rounds of engagement. More than three thousand Chu heavy cavalry, more than a thousand people were killed and wounded, and the Golden Fire Cavalry was only half the number of casualties, showing the fighting power of the Golden Fire Cavalry.
Heavy armored cavalry assembled behind Jingyu. With his black blame, the weakened murderousness cracked again. After killing and killing, the whole team fell silent after shouting three times in a row. Even the general who led the Golden Fire Cavalry opposite was also surprised to find out. The Chu State's heavy armoured cavalry, only had one more general, as if it had more souls, it seemed that the combat power had sublimated.
