The front row of the ghost army was quickly harvested, the horses fell to the ground, the cavalry were dragged into the shield formation, and many of the heavy cavalry behind them stumbled. Just like before, Xuan Army once again caused a chaos.
There were also some heavy cavalry. Although they were not in the first row and were not directly attacked, their horses couldn't bear it and fell to their knees, causing the cavalry to fall.
When they faced off against the Xuan Army before, the Ghost Army was still able to counterpress. That was because their combat effectiveness was still there in the first battle.
But now, the situation is obviously different.
In this decisive battle on the plains, the Allies adopted many tactics, such as timing, delay, harassment, weakness, etc.
These details may seem useless, but in fact, taken together, they are the key to victory or defeat.
After being exposed to the scorching sun and the continuous turmoil, most of the ghost army cavalry in heavy armor were actually on the verge of collapse. Not only were they dehydrated, they were also suffering from heat stroke.
And their war horses began to kneel down one after another.
In such a situation, no matter how thick the defense is, there is still not even a trace of combat effectiveness.
Moreover, the Qin army's fighting style was completely different from that of the Xuan army.
Especially in infantry decisive battles, they always like to use fierce force to overwhelm the opponent on the battlefield.
A place of head-on confrontation.
"Soldiers! Follow me and charge! Kill all the little ghost thieves."
Xu Hu raised his sword and shouted, how could there be no general to lead him on the battlefield?
"Kill"
The soldiers of the Qin army came to the battlefield. Countless soldiers raised their swords high, stepped on the corpses of the ghost army on the ground, and rushed forward crazily.
In fact, at this time, the ghost army cavalry no longer had much strength to swing their spears.
With his clumsy movements, the Qin soldiers rushed over one by one, knocked him off their horses, and fought with them on the ground with swords in their hands.
This situation is everywhere on the entire battlefield, in every corner.
Countless cavalrymen were thrown to the ground one after another. The first few rows were swallowed up almost instantly. The Qin army continued to attack and soon spread to the entire battlefield.
Seeing this scene, the deputy general of the Ghost Army was almost crying. He couldn't help shouting: "General, general, what should we do now..."
Urcha swayed even more, couldn't help but take two steps back, and murmured: "It's over, it's over..."
The situation on the battlefield has been decided.
After hearing this, the deputy general became even more anxious and grabbed Urcha to leave: "We can't stay here for a long time. General, we should return to Wuxia Pass quickly!"
"I have a hundred thousand heavy cavalry! A hundred thousand heavy cavalry!" Urcha's eyes were about to burst.
"Oh, general! Our army has been defeated. If we don't leave, it will be too late!" The deputy general pulled him back and shouted loudly: "Quick! Protect the general! The entire army retreats."
"Crossbowmen cover!"
Under his order, the surrounding ghost army infantry began to surround Urcha for protection. There were also archers and crossbowmen in charge of the rear, firing random arrows as they retreated.
At this time, if the ghost army wants to retreat, it will not be that easy. At the very least, their heavy cavalry will definitely not be able to leave!
Even if the Qin army didn't fight now and let the cavalry get up and run away on their own, they probably wouldn't be able to run away under the heavy armor.
Handsome position.
Looking at the direction in which the ghost army leader was retreating, Xiao Yuan turned his head slightly and said: "Notify the Spirit King and ask him to chase him with Qingqi."
"No!" Lin Chu responded from behind and walked away quickly.
Not long after, Lin Chu found the location of the Spirit King and directly informed him of his intention.
The latter pondered for a moment, and then said: "With such a great victory, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue it, Ye Gui! Lead our army's light cavalry to pursue Urcha!"
"No!" Ye Gui cupped his fists and accepted the order.
On King Xuan's side, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Wang Su couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, it was so dangerous just now. If the Qin army is even half a minute slower, our army will be completely defeated."
King Xuan glanced at him and said in a calm voice: "Now that you have made a decision, you cannot change it easily."
Not long after, General Ye Gui had led a group of light cavalry, bypassed the main battlefield, attacked from the flank, and began to pursue Urcha.
On the frontal battlefield, it was only a matter of time before this heavy armored cavalry was destroyed.
This battle lasted for several hours, and it didn't come to an end until the sun turned west.
The battlefield was silvery white, stained with blood. Of course, there were also many corpses of Qin soldiers, and horse corpses could be seen everywhere.
Judging from the brutality of the battlefield, it was extremely bloody.
Somewhere, more than a dozen Qin soldiers were gathering together.
On the ground in front of him, there was a heavy cavalryman from the Ghost Army, struggling hard.
There were no injuries on his body. His back was on the ground. He might have fainted after falling before, but now he woke up, but because of his heavy armor, he no longer had the strength to get up.
After a few more attempts, he seemed to give up and gasped: "Kill me, I really have no strength anymore, kill me quickly, Gui Zuyu..."
Although the Qin soldiers couldn't understand what he was talking about, some people said strangely: "Can such a thick armor be worn on a human body and still be able to move? Also, why doesn't he turn over on his side and stand up again?"
This shows that the ghost army's heavy cavalry is heavily armed.
When the war came to an end, the Qin army began to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies and military badges of their dead soldiers.
There were busy soldiers all around, and a general couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the ghost army's heavy cavalry has a very thick defense, and it is difficult for ordinary swords to break through the armor. Maybe we can build such an army."
Xiao Yuan glanced at him, shook his head and said: "Such heavy armor may seem invincible in battle, but in fact it is not suitable to be used on the battlefield. They have too many disadvantages."
"Your Majesty is right. If this army really fights, besides today's tactics, there are many ways to solve it. Because their bulkiness leads to light troops, they can easily bypass them." Shangguan Wenruo received it.
The general nodded, deeply convinced.
At this moment, a hearty laugh came. The Spirit King walked up to Xiao Yuan in three steps and said excitedly: "In today's battle, the Allied forces won a great victory. They wiped out the heavy cavalry that the ghost army relied on most in one fell swoop. It’s all planned by King Qin’s younger brother.”
"No, Brother Ling Wang is serious. The tactics here are all based on the commander-in-chief of your country, General Huang Zu." Xiao Yuan slightly raised his hand and returned the salute.
"Haha! Brother Qin Wang, why should you be too modest? We can defeat the ghost army only if we all work together." King Ling said politely again.
"That makes sense." Xiao Yuan nodded and moved his eyes slightly to look at King Xuan who was walking over.
King Ling also followed his gaze, turned slightly sideways, and then said with a smile: "Sister Xuan Wang."
"Brother Ling Wang, Brother Qin Wang." King Xuan greeted him first, then moved his eyes and stared at Xiao Yuan.
Her voice was beautiful and had an ethereal quality to it.
Under the gaze of beautiful eyes, Xiao Yuan laughed dryly, knowing in his heart that this queen was still a little bit blaming herself.
But soon, King Xuan withdrew his gaze, and then asked directly: "Wuxia Pass is not far from here, do you want to continue marching?"
