Two hundred elite, all black knights.
This cavalry, even if it encounters an infantry team of thousands of people, can still kill them all.
Under the city, Wei Qing brought Xiao Yuan's war horse, Jinghong, one of the seven most famous horses in the world.
The horse was spirited, and when he saw Xiao Yuan, he couldn't help but step on his hoof, and his head lifted slightly.
"It seems to know that there is going to be a war, and it looks a little excited." Xiao Yuan stroked the horse's mane, turned over, held the reins and said: "Nie Xing, just in case, send some soldiers to return to the city. Pick up on the road."
"No!" The latter accepted the order with his fists clasped.
Xiao Yuan pulled the reins: "Let's go!"
Horse hooves trampled the ground, and the elite cavalry were dispatched behind them.
This is a light cavalry, extremely fast. The ghost army's defense line is west of Sais City, only more than forty miles away from the Northeast Pass. This journey does not take long at all, and Xiao Yuan reaches the edge of the enemy's army.
At this time, the cavalry team was easily discovered by the enemy sentries, and everyone became cautious. Peng Shuang was closely guarding Xiao Yuan, riding his horse and never leaving.
Xiao Yuan explored the terrain around the perimeter of the Ghost Army's defense line, focusing on the Wugu Mountain area.
An hour later, something happened.
Since he could not avoid a ghost army outpost, Xiao Yuan immediately ordered to shoot at the enemy with arrows and leveled the place with his light cavalry.
But this moment triggered a chain reaction. The ghost army disappeared and the ghost generals of Wugu Mountain were furious. They ordered some soldiers and horses on the spot to destroy these daring Qin troops.
The Qin army, with its powerful military intelligence, soon learned that the ghost army from Wugu Mountain had arrived.
At this time, the generals began to persuade Xiao Yuan to ride back to the city, but Xiao Yuan was so bold that instead of leaving, he instantly seized the opportunity and had the idea of seducing the enemy.
As soon as this was mentioned, the generals couldn't help but look at each other.
Meng Ya said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please don't take any risks. The results of today's survey have been obtained. Why stay here? You should return to the city immediately."
"The situation may seem dangerous now, but in fact we are well positioned to advance and retreat. Leader Meng does not need to panic."
Xiao Yuan said and looked at the crowd and said: "All generals have been in battle for a long time. You should know that there is a fighting opportunity at the moment. The ghost army will definitely become angry when they see our exploration approaching. If we can use this to annihilate a group of enemies, it will be worthwhile." Out of town for the first time."
"Your Majesty, having said that, your safety is not a joke." Wei Qing said: "If you want to lure the enemy, just let the enemy come. Your Majesty can return to the city first."
"Yes, yes, what General Wei said is true." Meng Ya quickly agreed.
Xiao Yuan thought for a while, looked at Chen Jing and said: "Immediately give an order to Nie Xing and ask him to pick him up halfway."
"No!" The latter clasped his fists and followed the order.
"Cavalry disperse!"
"Tear down the ghost army sentry tower three miles away."
"Leave after the fight. Don't be reluctant to fight. At the same time, let the ghost army have the desire to pursue."
Xiao Yuan gave orders one after another.
The crowd followed the order and leveled a sentry tower. Half an hour later, the Wugushan Ghost General led his troops to pursue them. Judging from their size, there were at least several thousand people, and they were accompanied by a large number of cavalry.
In the ghost general's heart, these Qin troops dared to explore the vicinity of their fortress. This was completely a show of contempt, and they did not take themselves seriously. How could they not be angry!
He came with anger, and when he saw the Qin army's tail, he pointed his sword angrily: "The other side only has these few people, kill them! Kill them all!"
There really weren't many people on Wei Qing's side, because they were afraid that the ghost army wouldn't chase them if there were too many people.
Seeing this situation, the ghost army also began to shout and kill, and the cavalry galloped out, shaking the scimitars in their hands and screaming strangely.
Wei Qing did not stop and turned his horse to escape.
The ghost army refused to follow and chased them from behind.
Running and chasing, they were all cavalry, and the ghost army's infantry were quickly out of sight.
After a while, some people from the ghost tribe said: "General, these Qin people are so courageous, they are really hateful!"
The ghost general looked at Wei Qing who was escaping in front of him and kept riding his horse: "Do you know who that is? Wei Qing! The leader of the Qin army! If you can kill him, what a credit it will be!"
At this moment, Xiao Yuan and Peng Shuang also came back and joined Wei Qing, but there were still only a few people around them.
Wei Qing was shocked: "Your Majesty!"
He was not afraid of himself, but worried about Xiao Yuan's safety.
"Haha!" Xiao Yuan smiled heartily: "Old Wei, we have been fighting in the north and south for many years. There is no need to panic at such a small scene."
As soon as he finished speaking, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, turned around on his horse, and shot an arrow in an instant.
The sharp arrow left the string and shot out, hitting a ghost soldier in the face. The man was still jerking the horse's buttocks, but this sudden arrow shot him directly off the horse.
"Your Majesty's amazing shot!" Peng Shuang shouted excitedly, then took off the hard bow and turned around to draw it fully.
There is no doubt about the strength of the general. Another ghost soldier fell off his horse and screamed.
Wei Qingdun felt so proud that he could fight side by side with His Majesty. His blood was instantly ignited, and he turned around with an arrow.
The other Qin cavalrymen followed suit and took out their powerful crossbows, turned around and pulled the triggers.
That's right, there are only about ten of them, which is why the ghost army is extremely angry.
This scene seems quite dangerous, but in fact it is not, because the arrow shooting range and war horses of both sides are not of the same level.
Under Xiao Yuan's crotch is the world's number one Ma Jinghong. If he really wants to rush forward, he can distance himself in an instant.
The horses of Peng Shuang and Wei Qing are also extraordinary.
During the pursuit, some ghost soldiers were shot over and fell from time to time. After a while, perhaps they really felt something was wrong. The ghost general tightened the reins and seemed ready to give up.
But on Xiao Yuan's side, when he saw his pursuers, he actually stopped and without saying a word, he turned around and shot a few arrows.
If you don't chase me, I will stop and beat you.
Who can bear this? The three of Xiao Yuan, Jun and his ministers fought incessantly. The ghost general was so angry that he couldn't bear the feeling of frustration anymore, so he roared and chased after him again.
However, every time, they had to reach the shooting distance of the arrow, but they just couldn't reach it. The more this happened, the more anxious the ghost army became, and in the end, they had lost their original reason.
Unknowingly, he was already far away from Wugu Mountain.
At this time, his subordinates couldn't help but remind him: "General, we are chasing too far."
After hearing this, the ghost general seemed to finally wake up. Thinking of the other party's previous provocations, he was furious and gritted his teeth and said: "Qin Jun is so hateful!"
With that said, he was also ready to stop pursuing and return.
This group of pursuers numbered seven to eight hundred, and they were important cavalry. They had now entered the attack range of the Qin army.
Without any surprise, the powerful crossbows fired in a volley, and a large area of the ghost army was instantly pinned down, followed by shouts of killing one after another.
The ghost general's horse was frightened. He also looked frightened. He looked around, pulled the reins and shouted: "No! We are chasing too far. All the Qin troops are here!"
"Let's go! Go back to Wu Gu Mountain!"
He didn't need to remind him that under such circumstances, the ghost army would not dare to stay.
But it was too late to leave now.
