19 fierce mess

【New book please collect it!】

"Drink, drink, drink!"

Two thousand rebel infantry, holding shields and holding long swords, formed a neat formation, separated from the rebels, trying to stop the more than 1,700 cavalry led by Lu Bu who rushed over.

These rebel infantry are worthy of being Liu Bang's most elite direct descendants. They are well-trained and many of them are even veterans of the Six Kingdoms.

At this time, these rebel infantry held their shields in front of them, preparing to resist the crossbow arrows fired by the Qin army.

The crossbows of the Qin army's cavalry were also famous among the seven warring states.

Whoosh whoosh!

Sure enough, when these Qin cavalry rushed into the distance and the two thousand rebel infantry were dozens of steps away, they were covered by a hail of arrows.

This is the rain of arrows shot by the Qin army cavalry with their arm crossbows.

With a distance of dozens of steps, they could almost fire two rounds after they rushed over.

Bang bang bang!

A dense rain of arrows fell on the rebel infantry phalanx, and most of them were blocked by the rebel infantry with the shields in their hands.

Only a few arrowheads penetrated the gaps between the shields and hit the rebel infantry behind them, causing them a small number of casualties.

It is impossible to break through such a rebel infantry phalanx just by relying on arrow rain.

Unless the Qin army has a large number of cavalry and can take advantage of their mobility and flexibility to continuously shoot arrows at these rebel infantry.

Only in this way can heavy casualties be caused to the rebel infantry.

Therefore, once the cavalry was dispatched during the Warring States Period, it was a huge group of cavalry, often tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, so the cavalry's kills and casualties were astonishing.

But now, there are only more than 1,700 Qin cavalry behind Lu Bu, so the killing effect of arrows is definitely not great.

This is why, during the Warring States Period, only the cavalry of Qin and Qi were famous.

Because other countries don't have much land to raise horses, and they can't raise many war horses, so they can't form many cavalry.

Forming a small number of cavalry will have little effect on the battlefield and will not affect the battle situation at all. If you have the money to raise a small number of cavalry, you might as well raise more infantry!

In an instant, the 1,700 Qin army cavalry led by Lu Bu had already rushed within a dozen paces of the two thousand rebel infantry.

During this period, the Qin cavalry had already fired two rounds of arrows. Then they put away their arm crossbows and picked up a spear they each carried with one hand.

"Hey, it's strange, why are the Qin army's cavalry still charging towards us?"

At this time, on the side of the two thousand rebel infantry, a rebel general looked doubtfully at the Qin Army cavalry who were still charging towards them, and a trace of doubt flashed in his mind.

Because, according to the previous cavalry tactics, they should turn around at this distance, draw an arc, and continue shooting at the rebel infantry phalanx from other directions.

Just when the rebel general was confused, the Qin army's cavalry led by Lu Bu rushed closer and closer, and had already rushed in front of these infantry.

Seeing the cavalry of the Qin Army rushing in, these rebel infantrymen couldn't help but panic. They instinctively lowered the Changge in their hands and pointed it forward.

"cast!"

Lu Bu rode on Xiao Jingjing and shouted loudly.

Then, hundreds of Qin cavalrymen behind him stood up in stirrups on their horses, raised their spears in their right hands, and threw them fiercely at the two thousand rebel infantry in front of them.

Pfft, pfft!

"ah!"

In an instant, shrill screams resounded throughout the wilderness, and many rebel infantrymen were directly pierced by spears thrown at them.

These spears were as thick as a child's arm, with a small sharp iron tip embedded in the head. Once they penetrated the body of the rebel infantry, they were basically certain to die.

Some of the spears thrown by the Qin cavalry even shot directly through the wooden shields held by the rebel infantry and penetrated the bodies of the rebel soldiers.

The shields in the hands of the rebel infantry were mostly wooden shields covered with leather, not bronze shields, let alone iron shields.

In this era, except for the famous Wei soldiers who could use bronze shields, where could Liu Bang find so many bronze shields?

After all, making that kind of bronze shield requires a lot of financial, material and manpower.

The Qin army's cavalry used the high speed of the war horses and then threw them with great force, making the spear's penetration force very huge.

There were even spears that shattered the wooden shields, and then directly impaled the two rebel infantrymen behind them into candied haws.

At this time, the infantry of the Qin army led by Lu Bu suddenly made such a move.

The casualties caused by the rebel infantry were not the most terrifying thing, but the most terrifying thing was that these rebel infantry were confused.

This round of spear throwing by the Qin army only caused dozens of casualties to the rebel infantry, which was not too much for the two thousand infantry phalanx.

The impact it can have is huge.

This move of the Qin army immediately panicked the rebel infantry. They had never seen any cavalry dare to fight like this.

Next, what surprised these rebel infantry was that the Qin army's cavalry led by Lu Bu, like a group of tigers, crashed directly into the phalanx of these two thousand rebel infantry.

Law, law, law!

Suddenly, people were thrown off their backs, and the rebel infantry at the front was directly knocked away by the cavalry that was speeding over.

Of course, there were also a small number of Qin cavalry who were unlucky enough to be stabbed by the long spears of the rebel infantry and fell down.

Lu Bu rode Xiao Jingjing and rushed to the front of the rebel infantry phalanx. He directly used Fang Tian's Hua Ji in his hand to swing away the two long spears in front. Then Fang Tian's Hua Ji swept across the two rebel infantry formations.

The pawn's head was chopped off.

Pfft, pfft!

The next moment, Lu Bu, riding Xiao Jianjing, took the lead, rushed into the two thousand rebel infantry, and started killing them, causing blood to fly.

"Ahhh!"

The shrill screams came and went one after another.

In the panic and desperate eyes of these rebel infantry, thousands of Qin army infantry rushed over at high speed, and they had become prey.

Lu Bu's personal bravery does not determine the victory of this battle. The more than 1,700 Qin cavalry following him are the key to determining the outcome of the war.

The Qin army cavalry who rushed over behind Lu Bu leveled the spears they held one by one, thrust them into the bodies of the infantry in front, and then released their spears.

The Qin cavalry drew their swords again, and just as they were about to kill them, they discovered that they had penetrated the rebel infantry phalanx, and there were no more enemies in front of them.

A mere two thousand rebel infantry were killed by them in two rounds of shooting and one charge, using the spears in their hands. They were a complete mess.

The Qin cavalry looked back and saw that among the corpses of the rebel infantry on the ground behind them, no one was left standing, and only five of their cavalry fell.

At this time, these Qin Army cavalry had an unreal feeling. They had never fought such a battle.

"Why are you all still standing there? Keep charging with me! Rush over and kill all these rebellious people."
