"Kill!"

The battle outside Xianyang City is still going on.

At this time, Xu Feng was also wearing fine armor and was standing on the south gate of Xianyang, watching the battle outside the city.

Outside the city, the 10,000 Qin troops led by Zhao Yun had been fighting fiercely with Zhou Bo's 20,000 rebels for more than an hour. The battle was extremely fierce, with corpses everywhere.

But as time went by, the battlefield situation gradually developed in a direction that was not conducive to the Qin army.

At this time, the Qin army's center and right flanks on the battlefield were still struggling to support themselves, but the left defense line was about to collapse.

"Send someone to send an order to General Lu Bu and ask him to lead the army to fight immediately. If he doesn't go to fight, I will kill him."

Xu Feng looked solemn and said to the guards behind him.

Xu Feng has sent three orders to Lu Bu in succession, asking him to lead the attack, but Lu Bu always said "wait a little longer", thinking that the best time to attack has not yet arrived.

Now, Xu Feng looked at the Qin army outside Xianyang City, where the left wing was about to collapse. Xu Feng couldn't wait any longer and asked his guards to give Lu Bu the strictest order.

Because once the Qin army's left-wing defense line outside the city is broken through by the rebels, the Qin army will be defeated by then, and Xu Feng does not want to see such a situation happen.

Soon, Lu Bu received Xu Feng's strict order. At this time, Lu Bu knew that the time had come for them to attack.

"The whole army listens to the order and goes out with me. Kill all the enemies. Kill!"

Lu Bu rode on Xiao Jingjing, raised his Fangtian painted halberd, shouted loudly, and then rushed out at the lead.

Rumble!

Behind him were 3,500 Qin cavalry in black clothes and black armor. Each of them held a spear in their hand, a sharp saber and a small arm crossbow tied to the saddle.

.

This is also the standard weapon for Lu Bu's 3,500 Qin army cavalry, and they are all iron weapons, no longer easily broken bronze weapons.

The blacksmiths in Xianyang City used the pig iron smelted in the blast furnace, and under the guidance of the University of Engineering, to create two types of weapons suitable for cavalry.

One is the spear, which is a one-time weapon. When the cavalry rushes into the enemy's infantry, they can use the spear to kill the enemy first.

Even cavalry can throw spears while riding on their horses, and their lethality is equally astonishing.

This kind of spear is very simple to make. It just requires nailing some sharp spearheads on the head of a wooden pole. It doesn't take much iron material, otherwise Xu Feng would not agree to make this simple spear.

The horse-cutting knives equipped by the Qin army's cavalry were all forged after repeated hard work and required a lot of pig iron.

With the pig iron produced by the only two blast furnaces in Xianyang City at this time, it was impossible to create more than 3,000 sabers in such a short period of time.

In fact, the blacksmiths in Xianyang City spent a few days using up all the iron materials refined in the blast furnace, and they could only make only 500 horse-killing swords.

For the Qin army's cavalry, which numbered 3,500, it was only a fraction.

This is already the result of all the iron-making craftsmen and blacksmiths in Xianyang City working without sleep for several days, and Xu Feng can no longer demand anything from them.

After all, the time was too short. If he was given another half month, he would definitely be able to collect 3,500 fine and sharp sabers.

In the end, the Qin army's cavalry lacked three thousand sabers, which made Xu Feng always feel uncomfortable.

Although the Qin cavalry equipped with stirrups greatly increased their combat power, without iron weapons, they still could not maximize their charging power.

After all, if the three thousand Qin cavalry were allowed to continue to use bronze weapons, if they broke after a few chops when charging into the rebel infantry group, it would greatly affect the subsequent battles.

Later, Xu Feng checked his system and found that he could directly redeem a Zhanma Dao in the system, but it actually required one point to exchange for a Zhanma Dao.

This made Xu Feng curse the system for being too screwed up.

However, after finally weighing the pros and cons, Xu Feng gritted his teeth and spent three thousand points to redeem three thousand sabers from the system and equip them for the Qin Army cavalry.

After redeeming the three thousand Zhanma Dao, Xu Feng looked at the last thousand points remaining on the system and felt distressed that he had not eaten well all day.

“This battle must be won, otherwise the points will be at the bottom.

It would be best to complete an additional task issued by the system and obtain an additional reward, which can also make up for my losses."

Xu Feng was thinking in his mind.

However, Xu Feng also knew that it was really difficult for him to complete the additional tasks released by the system.

Whether it is to capture or kill Liu Bang alive among tens of thousands of rebels, or to capture and kill Zhang Liang alive, it is a huge challenge.

Xu Feng could only pray that the goddess of luck would favor him once.

Rumble!

As the earth shook, two black torrents rushed out from the two city gates in the south of Xianyang.

Then, two Qin army cavalry rushed from the rear of the 10,000 Qin army formation led by Zhao Yun to the left and right, drew a half arc, and charged into Zhou Bo's rebel formation.

"General, no, they are the cavalry of the Qin Army."

When the Qin cavalry appeared on the left and right wings, Zhou Bo had already discovered it.

However, Zhou Bo found that the two Qin army cavalry rushing over from the left and right flanks were not very large in number, only more than a thousand, which made Zhou Bo breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Qin army does not have many cavalry, so let two thousand infantry go out on each wing to stop them and not let them get close to our infantry phalanx."

Zhou Bo quickly issued orders and responded.

"At this time, Bao Qin actually sent out cavalry, what's the use?

The Qin army's infantry phalanx on the front battlefield was about to be broken through by our army. Sending these thousands of cavalry to harass them would not change the battlefield situation.

It seems that the general commanding the Qin army in the city is also an idiot!"

Zhou Bo smiled and said to himself.

Zhou Bo was still thinking normally at this time, thinking that these two Qin army cavalry were preparing to harass the flanks of their phalanx.

After all, previous cavalry battles were mainly based on mounted shooting. Without stirrups and iron weapons, it was difficult for the cavalry to charge into battle.

But now, the Qin army was about to be defeated on the front battlefield. Zhou Bo's idea was correct. He only needed to send a small number of infantry to block the Qin army's cavalry appearing on both wings.

After they defeated the 10,000 Qin army infantry led by Zhao Yun on the frontal battlefield, they would have won the battle.

The three thousand cavalry alone will not be able to reverse the situation by then.

If it were any other time, Zhou Bo would undoubtedly win this battle, but this time, Zhou Bo would definitely miscalculate.

Because what he is about to encounter is a real cavalry who can charge into battle and dominate with cold weapons.

On the other side, Lu Bu led more than 1,700 Qin army cavalry, circled to the flank of the rebels, and then charged towards the rebels.

I happened to see two small formations of infantry forming part of the rebel formation, moving towards them, clearly intending to stop them.

"Stupid rebel, prepare to face the death brought by your Grandpa Lu!"
