Chapter 180 Great Victory

.After paying for at least a thousand cavalry, the Xiu Tu cavalry in the front row finally rushed to the Chu army's baggage chariot formation. Although there were solid and heavy baggage chariots in front, the Xiu Tu cavalry, who was fearless, had no intention of slowing down the horse speed at all. It was so fast that more than a hundred cavalry in the front row had already hit the chariot formation. (Hand, fight. The update was super fast)...

In an instant, the loud impact, the sound of the shattering of war horses and human bones resounded throughout the sky.

The next moment, more than a hundred butchers on the horse were thrown into the air like sandbags, and then threw them forward under the force of inertia. Before they could react, they had already hit the long halberd formation of Chu army standing like a forest. Only the sharp blade of puff puff cut into the human body's silence, and all the more than a hundred butchers were instantly nailed to the air.

However, Xiu Turen's offensive did not stop due to the death of the front row of cavalry.

Amid the endless sound of horse hooves like a tide, the second, third and fourth rows of Xiu Tu cavalry also continuously collided with the chariot formation outside the Chu army. In less than half a cup of tea, the corpses of thousands of Chu soldiers lined up in front of them had been picked up. Xiu Tu people's blood drifted down the halberd, almost dyeing the Chu army soldiers below.

Although many Xu Tu people were pierced by several or even dozens of long halberds, they still did not die. While screaming, they still waved the short swords and wooden forks in their hands desperately, trying to kill the Chu army infantry below. However, their backlash on death was obviously futile and was not enough to kill the Chu army in heavy armor.

Seeing such a tragic scene, Xiang Zhuang's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.

It must be admitted that these Xiu Turen are indeed the most brave and loyal soldiers, but their suicide attacks obviously cannot pose any threat to the defense formation of the Chu army. Xiu Turen's tactics are too backward, and whether it is civilization level or strategic tactics, they are all in the primitive social stage and cannot be compared with the people of the Central Plains.

Xiu Turen didn't know how to break the Chu army's circular defensive formation. They were just rushing around. If Xiu Turen continued to fight, even if he fought all 40,000 cavalry, he might not be able to break through the Chu army's circular defensive formation. The three barriers of the inside and outside of the baggage truck were enough to make Xiu Turen blood flow into a river!

After all, Xu Tu cavalry is commendable for its mobility, and in other aspects... it is basically a scumbag!

While the Xiu Tu people launched a suicide attack from the front, the Xiu Tu cavalry, who had cut through the two wings, also slowed down their horse speed and rolled over from the other three directions, trying to use the short bow in their hands to kill the Chu army in the circular defensive formation to cover the Xiu Tu cavalry's strong attack on the front, but instead, they were frantically countered by the Chu army's crossbowmen and archers.

Comparing equipment, the Chu army was even worse than the Chu army. The bows and crossbows were shot at each other, and the casualties on both sides were simply disproportionate!

In the sound of breaking through the air, countless crossbow arrows and wolf-tooth heavy arrows shuttled through the air, intertwined, and roared towards their respective targets with cold murderous intent. With each crossbow arrow and each wolf-tooth heavy arrow falling, an extremely shrill wail would sound on the battlefield. Every few screams would sound, a life would fall into darkness forever.

On the wall of Gaoque Pass, King Xiu Tu was watching the battle from afar.

Standing on the wall and looking down, the entire battlefield was full of sight. Each team of Xiu Tu cavalry hit the Chu army formation and then shattered like waves hitting the reef. King Xiu Tu's face would twitch violently. You know, the elite soldiers of his headquarters were also the bravest warriors in the entire Xiu Tu tribe!

However, the 30 teams of thirty horses in front and behind still failed to break through the formation of the Chu army!

What made King Xiu Tu even more suffocated was that in order to cover the elite cavalry in the other three directions, the Xiu Tu cavalry had to withstand the crazy shooting of Chu army crossbowmen and archers. Almost every breath, every moment, hundreds of Xiu Tu warriors were shot, fell to the ground, seriously injured, and died in battle...

"Master, you can't fight anymore, hurry up and retreat!"

"Yes, king, if you continue to fight, you will be gone!"

"King, you can't fight anymore, otherwise you'll be done with the Thu tribe!"

Several tens of thousands of riders were also frightened to see it, and they all came forward to persuade them.

King Xiu Tu suddenly closed his eyes, waved his hand vigorously, and whispered: "Blow the trumpet, stop the troops."

The next moment, a desolate horn sounded at Gaoque Pass. Amid the endless horn sounds, Xiu Tu cavalry, who were originally pulling their bows and firing arrows, turned their horses and retreated back to Gaoque like a tide.

Seeing the Xiu Tu cavalry retreating one after another, the Chu army suddenly burst into cheers like thunder and thunder in the sea.

Especially those Wei soldiers, although they participated in the Battle of Hulao Pass, many of them also participated in the extremely cruel Battle of Hangu Pass. After entering the Pass, they captured dozens of county towns in the suburbs of Xianyang. However, as today, it was the first time to face the continuous attack of tens of thousands of Hu cavalry!

More importantly, the Chu army won this battle, and it was a great victory!

Although the final result has not been counted, it is conservatively estimated that at least more than 5,000 cavalry were killed in the Xiu Tu people, while the Chu army suffered a maximum of more than 1,000 casualties!

"Great China!" Amid the huge cheers, I don't know who shouted first.

"Only I am the Great Chu!" All the veterans of the Chu army who heard it couldn't help but respond.

"Great China!" This time, more than a dozen sharp and high-pitched voices sounded at the same time.

"Only I am the Great Chu!" This time, almost all the veterans of the Chu army joined the ranks of echoing, and even more soldiers from Wei joined the ranks of cheering. The huge cheers were at first chaotic, but in the end, they gradually gathered into a uniform voice, like a person shouting!

"The vast China, only my great Chu!"

"The vast China, only my great Chu!"

"The vast China, only my great Chu!"

The cheers of the Chu generals were rising and falling, and they were about to overturn the sky and shake the void.

A few dozen miles away, an eagle nesting on a high cliff was also startled by the huge sound. It suddenly roared and spread its huge wings and flew into the sky.

Amid the huge cheers, the Qin soldiers had complicated expressions.

On the one hand, the Qin army soldiers were quite disdainful of the Chu army's slogans. Big Chu? It's just a big deal. Back then, Xiang Yan's hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers were still beaten by General Wang Jian. But on the other hand, the Qin army soldiers had to admire the performance of the Chu army. At least today's battle, the Chu army soldiers fought very well, which was very good!

Amid the huge cheers, Huan Chu and Ji Bu rode their horses to Xiangzhuang.

Huan Chu bare his chest and exposed his breasts, revealing the thick chest hair on his chest, like a giant ape with long hair, waving his two fists as big as a bowl, saying to Xiang Zhuang: "General, the morale of Xiu Tu people has collapsed. Let's defeat them in one breath!" The Chu army in Xiang Yu's era was to pursue and fight relentlessly until the enemy's ice collapsed.

Xiang Zhuang shook his head without hesitation and rejected Huan Chu's proposal.

This is not because Xiang Zhuang deliberately wanted to eliminate the traces of "Xiang Yu" on the Chu army, but because Xiang Zhuang felt that there was no need to beat Xiu Turen to death. First, if you really want to chase and attack, the Chu army will inevitably suffer casualties. Second, it is better to keep Xiu Turen to fight to the death with the Huns who were about to go south.

The nomadic tribes on the grassland have always been aggressive and never surrender to other tribes easily.

Therefore, it is better to give Xiu Turen some strength. When the Huns move south in large numbers, let Xiu Turen fight to the death with the Huns. If Xiu Turen is beaten hard and their vitality is greatly damaged, maybe when the Huns move south, they will surrender directly, which will be unfair.

Seeing Xiang Zhuang shook his head, Huan Chu, Ji Bu stopped talking in depressedly.

Although he was dissatisfied with Xiang Zhuang's worship of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and recruiting the old Qin people, this did not affect Xiang Zhuang's prestige in Huan Chu and Ji Bu's mind. Even though Xiang Zhuang promoted and demoted them openly and secretly and deprived them of their military power, Huan Chu and Ji Bu were just depressed and did not have any disagreement.

Xiang Zhuang patted Huan Chu on the shoulder and said, "Old Huan, do you remember what I said to you when I was in Shouchun? I promised everyone that I should bring my brothers back to Jiangdong as much as possible. Therefore, there is no need to fight with these Hu people to death. I will return to Jiangdong soon. At this time, I don't want any unnecessary casualties."

Huan Chu said with a little shame: "The general is wise, but he is the last general who is reckless."

While speaking, all the Xiu Tu cavalry had retreated into Gaoque, but Xiu Tu did not give up Gaoque, but left a large number of defenders on the wall. Obviously, although Xiu Tu suffered a loss, Xiu Tu King did not give up. He controlled Gaoque, the passageway entering Jiuyuan, and was waiting for an opportunity to counterattack again.

Xiang Zhuang smiled faintly and shouted immediately: "Pang Yu obeys the order."

Pang Yu suddenly took two steps forward and replied: "The end will be here!"

"Lead the central army to block the exit of Gaoque and prevent a Hu man from entering Jiuyuan!"

"promise!"

"Tian Heng listened to the order."

"The last one will be there."

"Lead the You Army and return to Jiuyuan immediately, transport heavy equipment such as well as well railings, cloud ladders, siege vehicles!"

"promise!"

"Gao Chu listened to the order."

"The last one will be there."

"Sweep the battlefield and count the casualties."

"promise!"

Pang Yu, Tian Heng, and Gao Chu took the order one after another. Meng Keng hesitated for a while, and finally came forward to ask Xiang Zhuang, "General Xiang, what should we old Qin people do?"

Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you for your hard work in the Qin army, let's camp and rest." Meng Keng bowed and turned around.

Watching Mengkeng's figure go away, Bailixian suddenly said, "General, Xiu Tu Wang is greedy. Even if we conquer Gaoque, Xiu Tu people will not return to Hexi."

"That's right." Xiang Zhuang touched the beard that had just been raised on the corner of his lips and said lightly, "Don't butcher people refuse to leave, it's just right for us to train our Great Chu cavalry." Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but look at Meng Keng, who was gradually moving away. With Meng Wang and more than 2,000 Qin army veterans under his command as coaches, are you afraid that you can't practice cavalry well?
