The Han army only had men and horses, no baggage, and they slept well last night. Now they were full of energy and very fast. The men and horses of both sides were approaching quickly.
Once the Han army bites the main force of the Chu army, it will defeat the main force of the Chu army.
For Lu Jing, it was all over.
"Da da da!!!!"
Suddenly, there was a fierce sound of horse hooves ahead, and dust rolled in like a demonic wind. But it was General Li Gao Gao who led five thousand fine cavalry to stop Wei Polu.
Under the banner of "李". Li Gao Gao was holding a horse-shaped tree eight feet in length, wearing heavy armor, and sitting astride a bay-red horse. He had always been a coward, either defending or withdrawing his troops, but now he was extremely powerful.
Li Gao Gao stepped on his stirrup and looked at the Han army's formation ahead. He shouted: "Qian Jun, you command three thousand fine cavalry, go around from the left and attack the Han army from behind. Remember, don't fight the Han army, just harass it."
"Yes." Qian Jun responded loudly, and then led three thousand cavalry to act according to the plan.
"Come on, Wei Polu." Li Gaofeng roared with all his strength.
Amid the noise from the five thousand cavalry, Li Gao Gao's roar was drowned. Wei Polu didn't hear it, but he felt it.
Wei Polu looked up and looked ahead, his blood boiling, and shouted: "Cavalry and soldiers, follow me."
After saying that, Wei Polu clamped his legs on the horse's belly, galloped forward with Qianhu's cavalry and hundreds of soldiers, and rushed towards Li Gaofeng.
Wei Polu had few soldiers, and they were not professional cavalry. It is the cavalry under the infantry.
But the Han soldiers were fearless.
"Whoosh!!!!" Almost at the same time, the light cavalry on both sides raised their bows, drew out their arrows, and shot towards each other.
Arrows rained down, and the sound of hooves shook the sky.
"Pfft, pfft."
"ah!!!!"
Many cavalrymen on both sides were shot by arrows. Those who were lucky were only injured. Those who were unlucky fell off their horses and were trampled into flesh and blood by the hooves of horses galloping from behind.
Wei Polu and Li Gao Gao each took the lead and led the troops in front.
Wei Polu was hit by two arrows, and the arrows were trembling.
After two rounds of arrows, the two sides collided head-on.
"Boom!!!" a sound. Like a thunderous explosion, countless war horses collided head to head, their brains burst out, and they fell dead immediately.
The soldiers on horseback also fell down with the horses. A donkey rolled to his feet, then pulled out the steel knife from his waist and started fighting on foot.
"Kill!!!!" A Han heavy armored cavalryman seemed to have had water in his head and was groggy, but he instinctively waved the steel knife in his hand and killed a Chu army cavalryman.
Immediately, he was beheaded by another Chu army cavalry.
The cavalry who did not fall off their horses raised their cavalry spears and fought with the opponent.
The Chu cavalry was very elite, and for a time they were on a par with the Han cavalry.
"Kill!!!" Wei Polu raised his hand and wanted to kill Li Gao Gao. Li Gaofeng first fought with Wei Polu, but later lost, and quickly retreated, not giving Wei Polu a chance to behead him.
"Sure enough, there are ten thousand enemies. I can't deal with them." After Li Gaofeng retreated to the rear, his arms were trembling, he was sweating like rain, and his face was very ugly.
Almost killed.
"Li Gao Gao. Don't hide behind the soldiers, come and fight me to the death." Wei Polu pointed at Li Gao Gao and shouted.
He didn't know Li Gaofeng, but he half-guessed and half-blinded him, and he was right.
Hearing this, Li Gao Gao just sneered, raised his hand, and loudly ordered: "The archers will greet Wei Polu. Shoot Wei Polu and you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."
"Whoosh!!!!" The light cavalry raised their bows and greeted Wei Polu. Wei Polu's scalp felt numb for a moment and he quickly retreated.
Li Gaofeng sneered again, then raised his head and looked around, his heart sinking. Although the Chu army's cavalry was very elite, they were invincible in a fight with the Han army's cavalry.
Already at a disadvantage.
"Turn the horse's head, withdraw the troops, and greet them with bows and arrows." Li Gao Gao raised the horse's bow and gave the order to withdraw first.
The Chu cavalry were in good order, either turning their horses and leaving, or using their cavalry spears to drive back the Han cavalry before leaving. After a certain distance, the Chu light cavalry turned around and fired arrows at the Han army. The greeting on the cavalry.
The Chu cavalry fought and retreated. They only played archery with the Han cavalry, and from time to time they made sudden advances and started hand-to-hand combat.
Although Li Gao Gao was not as brave as Wei Polu and his cavalry was not as elite as the Han army, his ability to command the cavalry was first-rate.
On the other side, Qian Jun led 3,000 elite Chu cavalry to harass the Han infantry. Both sides also fired long-range bows and crossbows at each other.
The Chu army suffered a great loss.
The Han army had divine arm bows.
The armor rate is high, the defense power is high, and the attack power is high.
But the pace of the Han army's infantry was eventually delayed.
Wei Polu was very uncomfortable with the killing, and he also knew that his attempt to defeat Lu Jing was probably a dream come true.
"We should let Feng Chong or King Qi deal with Li Gao Gao, and everything will be safe." Wei Polu thought to himself, then raised his horse and shouted: "Stop chasing, go back and assemble with the infantry."
Say it. Wei Polu turned his horse's head, led his cavalry, whipped up a strong wind, and headed towards the infantry. He also made a detour, hoping to defeat Qian's three thousand Chu cavalry.
"Withdraw troops. Withdraw troops. Don't engage in a fierce frontal battle with Wei Polu." Qian Jun did not dare to fight Wei Polu at all. He immediately called out, and the cavalry flew past like the wind and fled quickly.
After Wei Polu led the cavalry to join the infantry, he wanted to try it out and move forward together with the cavalry and infantry.
However, due to Li Gaofei's obstruction, the distance between them and the Chu army's troops not only did not narrow, but actually increased.
"Li Gaofeng. I remember you." Wei Polu glared at the flag with the word "Li" bitterly, then raised his horse and shouted: "Rest where you are."
The Han army immediately changed its formation, with the infantry outside and the cavalry entering the infantry formation, forming a circular formation, motionless as a mountain.
Upon seeing this, Li Gao Gao breathed a sigh of relief, gathered his cavalry, and lined up not far away from the Han army to monitor Wei Polu.
After thinking for a moment, he ordered someone to count the number of cavalry. The result made his heart sink. In this short battle, one or two thousand of the five thousand elite cavalry under his command were killed or wounded.
"The Han army is really strong. The cavalry team under the command of the infantry general Wei Polu is also so powerful. If I encounter Feng Chong or Wu Min, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."
Li Gaofeng sighed inwardly.
Wei Polu had lost the chance to defeat the Chu army.
Li Gao Gao also had no ability to defeat Wei Polu's military formation. The two sides were at a stalemate.
From morning to sunset.
When night was about to fall, Li Gao Gao raised the horse in his hand, turned the horse's head, and shouted: "Withdraw the troops and catch up with the infantry."
"Da da da."
The Chu army's cavalry turned around and headed toward the west like thunder and lightning, and soon disappeared from Wei Polu's sight.
"I'll kill you sooner or later." Wei Polu was very unhappy and thought to himself.
"Withdraw the troops." He also raised his horse and shouted.
