Two days later, on the southern foot of Yangshan.

On the flat and open grassland, the Chu-Qin coalition forces are slowly advancing.

The Chu infantry formed a standard offensive formation, with heavy infantry holding long halberds and heavy armor as the front team, armed with crossbows, waisted with crossbows, crossbows, and crossbows as the secondary team, archers holding long bows as the third team, and Qin cavalry was responsible for protecting the two wings, and chariots were guarding behind them. The entire army was like an iron armored monster to slowly advance towards Gaoque.

In front of the Chu and Qin coalition forces, on both wings and behind them are endless cavalrymen.

Forty thousand Xiushu cavalrymen sounded small, but if they were spread on the flat grassland, it would definitely be an extremely magnificent and magnificent picture. If you look down from the sky, within a radius of more than ten miles, almost the entire grassland was obscured by Xiushu's cavalry sea.

Once the Xu Tu cavalry starts running and sprinting, it will be even more amazing.

However, the Chu and Qin soldiers were not scared. The Chu who set up their attack formations, the Qin coalition forces were like stormy reefs. No matter how high the wind and waves were, I would remain unmoved. If the cavalry were just dispatching a small group of cavalry to disturb them, the Qin cavalry would respond. But once more than a thousand cavalry approached, they would be immediately hit by the thunderous attack of the Chu army's bow and crossbow!

For the Xiu Tu cavalry wearing thin leather armor, the strong bow and hard crossbow of the Chu army infantry is definitely a fatal threat.

From the afternoon of the day before yesterday to now, Xiu Tu cavalry has tried hundreds of attacks and countless disturbances, and has also paid the heavy price of thousands of casualties. However, in the end, it still failed to stop the footsteps of Chu and Qin coalition forces, and finally allowed Chu and Qin coalition forces to advance to Gaoque Pass.

Looking at the Central Plains army rolling in front of him, King Xiu Tu couldn't help but sigh.

Just now, the small-scale attack of Xiu Tu cavalry was disintegrated by the Central Plains army. Apart from the hundreds of corpses thrown on the battlefield, Xiu Tu got nothing. As for the Central Plains army, there were no casualties. All they lost was arrows. The damn arrows seemed to be used up.

At this moment, King Xiu Tu was already very clear.

Unless the Xiu Tu army invests elite cavalry at any cost to carry out large-scale decisive battles, just investing a small number of cavalry to harass or launching a small-scale attack is not enough to scare away or stop the Central Plains army. But if we really want to fight the Central Plains army on a large-scale decisive battle, how likely will the Xiu Tu army win?

But then again, he would not be willing to let King Xiu Tu withdraw from Gaoque and give up his dream of occupying Hetao. Hetao is the pearl on the block. If Xiu Tu people can occupy Hetao, their population will increase within fifty years at most, and their strength will increase sharply!

After suddenly turning back, King Xiu Tu ordered the captain of the cavalry and said, "Go and call the captains of ten thousand cavalry to me!"

The captain of the Kids responded to the promise and immediately took the order. Looking at the captain of the Kids's figure leaving, a trace of ferocious murderous intent gradually emerged from the corner of King Xiu Tu's mouth.

Chu army, under the banner.

Bailixian raised his feather fan and blocked his forehead. He looked at Gaoqueguan City far ahead, then turned his head and smiled at Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao, "General, military advisor, King Xiu Tu has no great ability. He is just greedy and does not let him suffer any pain. He will never give up Hetao, so next, Xiu Tu's army should launch a large-scale attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, the low and desolate Hu people's horns sounded in the four fields. With the endless sound of horns, the Xiu Tu cavalry, who were originally wandering around the Chu army, immediately retreated forward like a tide of retreat. In less than a moment, nearly 40,000 Xiu Tu cavalry set up a dense cavalry formation at the hem of Gaoque Pass in front.

Xiang Zhuang's lips suddenly sneered, and he said in a deep voice: "Ziliang is really aware of things."

Since King Xiu Tu wanted to play, let's play with him. Xiang Zhuang raised his right hand and said calmly: "The big flag sends the order, the whole army stops moving forward, and form a formation on the spot - a circular defensive formation!"

With Xiang Zhuang's order, the Chu and Qin coalition forces began to change their formations in an instant.

The heavy armored infantry, light infantry and archers in the front team stopped one after another.

The back team's baggage troops continued to move forward, forming three internal and external barriers on the outer periphery of the entire formation. Heavy infantry holding long halberds and heavy armored soldiers were on the outer periphery, holding arms and crossbows, and slashing crossbows, and crossbows with crossbows were on the second periphery, while archers, Qin cavalry and Xiangzhuang's personal soldiers were on the inner periphery.

The Chu army had just formed a formation, and the cavalry in front of Xu Tu began to move abnormally.

However, Xiang Zhuang did not care too much about the abnormal movements of Xiu Tu cavalry.

Because the Hu people at this time were in a very primitive stage in strategy and tactics, unlike the Central Plains, after hundreds of years of the Warring States Period, whether it is strategy or tactics, humanities, philosophy, etc., they have developed to a very high level. Tactics can never be learned in war!

Even the Huns had no tactics before Maodun.

Before Maodun, the fire between the various Xiongnu tribes was basically the same as a group fight. Whoever has more people, whoever has a hard fist will be the leader, and whoever is the Shanyu.

However, Maodun's appearance completely changed this pattern. Maodun was smart and studious, and there were several Central Plains slaves who had died in the northern desert grassland. Although he had not systematically studied the various theories of the Central Plains, at least he had the pride of the various theories, which laid an extremely solid foundation for his future growth.

It was precisely because of Maodun that the Huns could conquer the Donghu.

At that time, the Donghu people were stronger than the Huns in terms of total population, string control and technology. However, due to the emergence of Maodun, the Donghu people were eventually defeated by the Huns and never recovered. Until five hundred years later, the Xianbei people, as a branch of the Donghu, rose again and occupied the entire desert grassland.

Therefore, Xiang Zhuang did not take Xiu Tu Ren's abnormal movements to heart.

Wei Liao and Bailixian also did not take Xiu Tu Ren's abnormal movements to heart. They are familiar with Xiu Tu Ren, Wei Liao and Bailixian. Xiu Tu Cavalry could not pose a substantial threat to the Chu army's defensive formation. If the Xiu Tu Cavalry did not come, it would definitely be bloody when it hit the Chu army's defensive formation!

After a while, Xiu Tu cavalry finally launched an attack.

Tens of thousands of cavalry lined up in slightly scattered straits, slowly crushing towards the circular defensive formation of the Chu army. And as time went by, the Xiu Tu cavalry ran faster and faster. In the end, tens of thousands of horse hooves hit the ground, and the rumbling horse hooves almost shattered everyone's eardrums.

Many timid Chu soldiers immediately started to move.

Tens of thousands of cavalry charged in groups, with horizontal queues that could not be seen at first sight, countless moving horse heads, countless galloping horse hooves, countless horse manes flying in the wind, and countless wrestling weapons clamoring. That unrestrained scene, the momentum that crushes the world and the world, is simply unimaginable for those who have never experienced it.

However, most veterans were unmoved at all because they knew that this was just a bluff.

Originally, although the Chu-Qin coalition army had 20,000 people, after forming a dense round defensive formation, even if the baggage chariot was added, it was only about a hundred steps wide. If you don’t kill the cavalry, you can pull out the cavalry formation that could not be seen at a glance. What is the practical significance? You just want to overwhelm the Chu army in terms of momentum and shock them psychologically.

The nomadic tribe is familiar with this.

Less than five hundred steps away from the Chu army, the Xiu Tu cavalry rolling forward seemed to encounter a surging stream of reefs. It suddenly divided into two strands from the middle and began to tangent to the left and right sides of the Chu army formation. The next moment, thousands of Xiu Tu cavalry wrapped in several heavy leather armor suddenly rushed out of the back formation.

It was interesting, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xiang Zhuang's mouth.

Suddenly, Xiang Zhuang raised his right hand and said lightly: "Transfer the order from the big banner, ready to fight."

Jin Xiang, who was guarding Xiang Zhuang, got on the chariot in two steps, took the big flag from the four personal soldiers, and waved it hard in front of him. The next moment, the heads and generals of the various troops and battalions who were staring at the central army's flag turned around and turned around and issued combat orders to their respective troops. In an instant, the Chu army's formation was already in full swing.

The heavy armored infantry in the outer circle raised long halberds one after another, and in a flash, a dense forest of long halberds was formed.

The crossbow soldiers in the middle circle tightened their crossbow machines and pointed their arrows at the Xiu Tu cavalry rushing in front of them.

The archers in the inner circle also removed the longbow, untied the arrow pouch on their backs, took out the wolf teeth in the arrow pouch one by one, and slowly inserted it in front of their right heel.

When the two armies were less than two hundred steps away, the Chu army's longbowmen took the lead in attacking.

Accompanied by the sound of "swooshing and swishing" breaking through the air, four thousand long archers had already shot four thousand wolf-tooth heavy arrows into the void, and then intertwined in the air to form an endless rain of arrows, and fell down hard on the head of the Xiu Tu cavalry approaching from the front. In the Xiu Tu cavalry formation, there were suddenly a group of people and horses overturned!

Amid the shrill wailing, at least two hundred cavalry and Xiu Tu cavalry were caught in an arrow and fell off the horse. Before they could get up, the Xiu Tu cavalry behind had already whizzed past their heads like a storm. Countless horse hooves stepped down from the air, and in a flash, hundreds of Xiu Tu cavalry who had fallen into meat mud!

When the Xiu Tu cavalry entered within a hundred steps, the Chu army's crossbow, waist-induced crossbow, and arm-induced crossbow also attacked one after another. The hit rate of crossbow arrows was much higher than that of the longbows that rely on large-scale coverage to kill the enemy. With the attacks of various crossbows of the Chu army, the casualties of the Xiu Tu cavalry began to increase sharply.
