It is said that the night before dawn came was the darkest time. But at this moment, all the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army had already seen infinite light. The battle that just ended half an hour ago was so exciting. The five thousand Hu Ben Army fought against the eight thousand Qin cavalry, which should have been a desperate battle that was evenly matched. Even the Captain Wu Sheng and others who had been through the battlefield were ready to die. However, no one expected that victory would come so easily. The Hu Ben Army won a great victory! It was not only a great victory, but also a refreshing victory!

Just two hours ago, Wang Xuanwu, who thought he could reach Longcheng directly without any effort, finally ushered in his first battle after entering Zhao State.

At that time, the vanguard of this cavalry had just begun to enter Pingling Pass, and most of the cavalry waiting in front of the pass were already ready to pass through the city. At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves not far from the left. In the darkness, I didn't know how many enemies had come, and the calm situation was broken.

"General! The enemy has appeared, it is the cavalry of Zhao State!"

The scouts on the periphery rushed over to report the news. However, Wang Xuanwu did not seem panic. He was inexplicably excited, just like many cavalry soldiers around him.

"The people of Zhao dared to come and die. We are asking for it! All the soldiers obeyed the orders, followed the heads of their respective teams, launched a conspiracy to fight, and must annihilate all the enemies that appeared, so that they could not escape again!"

Wang Xuanwu, who raised his sword high and issued a combat order, did not realize the danger was coming. He loudly urged several cavalry captains under his command to lead their respective troops to fight. However, he underestimated the enemy too much. He did not know what kind of honor this newly established Zhao cavalry had in his heart, nor did he know what sharp weapons the other party had aimed at them in his hands.

Night combat is a taboo for cavalry. Whether it is the enemy or the army on their own, it is likely to cause chaos and accidental injury. However, the Qin army, which finally encountered a chance to fight, obviously no longer cared about so many. They adjusted their formation in the shortest time. With the general's attack order, the large group of people rushed towards the cavalry rushing from a distance with the walls and moats of the city as their backs.

If you look down from a high place, the situation of the two armies on the battlefield in front of Pingling Pass is very obvious. Under the illumination of millions of torches, the Qin cavalry shouting and rushing is like an angry fire dragon, with its scales and claws flying and winding to form a crescent moon shape, trying to kill the enemy rushing over. The Hu Ben Army is like a cold arrow shot out in the darkness. Once it leaves the string, it will resolutely and never look back!

The war horses of both sides approached quickly, and a cold smile appeared on the face of the Qin army captain who was rushing to the front. He raised his long spear, and the more than a thousand long spears behind him also shone with light. This is the tactical cooperation that the Qin cavalry is very good at. The long spear is in front and the sword is in the back, and it has the functions of charge and defense. It can teach the other party a severe lesson and setback when it first meets.

However, before his smile disappeared on his face, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. When the sound of raindrops sounded in his ears, his body had fallen from the horse. Before his head was stomped by the huge horse hooves that followed him, countless screams and screams sounded around him. Like this lieutenant, the crossbow arrows shot from the darkness easily tore their armor. The cavalry of Qin was cut in pieces by the sickle of the god of death, and the people were turned up and over, and they were in chaos.

The Qin people never expected that the Zhao cavalry would shoot arrows under such circumstances, and their lethality was so huge! If two cavalry were hedging on the battlefield during the day, the Qin cavalry could of course shoot arrows in advance to cause damage to the enemy. But in the dark, there was no need to use bows and arrows at all. Instead of shooting arrows without a target, it would be better to concentrate on using the sword and long spear in your hand to kill the enemy!

It is precisely because of this that the Qin cavalry had no intention of using bows and arrows, and their bows and arrows were not taken from the saddle at all. Now, when the two sides were still twenty or thirty meters apart and huge casualties began to occur in their army, the Qin people suddenly realized that the power of the Zhao cavalry was beyond their imagination! However, it was only now that they began to regret it, and it was too late.

The power of cavalry charge on the battlefield is mainly to break through all obstacles in front like a sharp knife, and then continue to destroy the opponent's fighting will with an irresistible aura. However, once the offensive is blocked and the tip of the knife is broken, it will be an irreversible disaster for the cavalry behind it.

The first round of crossbow arrows shot towards the face, the Qin cavalry was almost indiscriminately hit. The crossbow arrows fired by the Hu Ben army with the magic crossbow did not need to be aimed at them at all. Within this optimal shooting distance, they just aimed at the front immediately and pulled the trigger. A rain of arrows shot away. No matter how the people or horses were, they were invincible, and almost no one was spared.

In a moment, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties. As the war horses in front fell, the cavalry following behind had no time to react. Even if they were not shot, they would fall one after another... The large group of people quickly became a gang, and they shouted miserably, unable to move forward.

At this moment, the Hu Ben Army, who came with murderous aura, rushed to the front. As the sword light shone, they split into two, like a tiger growing two wings, covering it with its left and right wings. Countless splatters of blood began to dye the night red, and hundreds of lives were killed while riding a horse.

Wang Xuanwu, the chief general who was pressing the formation in the middle of the Qin army, looked at the cavalry who began to show signs of chaotic retreat. He was shocked and angry, raised his long sword, rushed forward when he rushes forward. The hundreds of cavalry confidants around him quickly followed closely and protect him in the middle. After killing a retreating Qin army with one knife, the young general who was highly anticipated by many people shouted angrily, and his voice was like a thunderbolt.

"Those who retreat will be killed! All of them follow me and kill..."

Unexpectedly, the word "kill" was still not interrupted, but suddenly he realized the chaos in front of him. The cavalry of Qin fell and fell, injured and horses were gone. Under the fire, a war horse killed thousands of cavalry and jumped out. A few feet away, the general immediately took the lead under the Qin army's flag like a dragon!

The Qin cavalry responsible for protecting Wang Xuanwu was shocked. They had no time to think about it and rushed forward to block the Zhao general who was coming. However, they were just giving their lives in vain. Murong Li City, who was directly rushing to take the life of the enemy general, was not something ordinary people could stop! He roared, and swept across thousands of troops with eight-foot-meter-long spear in his hand. Anyone who encountered it would die when they touched it, and they would die when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were killed when they were broken, and there was no enemy wherever the horse passed!

Wang Xuanwu usually claims to be skilled in swords and horses, and is sought after by many people as the rising star of the Wang family. He has always thought that I am the best in the world! However, at this moment, looking at the majestic figure who came over, he finally realized how arrogant and ignorant he had been before! Feeling the formidable murderous aura, he couldn't help but feel frightened. While summoning the cavalry behind loudly, he raised his sword to resist.

Murong Licheng had long been staring at his figure, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the flag. He was almost at the right distance from the enemy general, and he used his arms to slash the tiger-headed spear from mid-air. Two lieutenants who rushed over to rescue were beaten out with their own swords, and then the head of the long spear swept across the enemy general's head, and the battle helmet and head were shattered together. The main general of the eight thousand Qin cavalry died tragically in his army without even humming.

After killing the general, Murong Licheng did not stop and made a spear and the Qin army flag. He didn't even look behind him, and the war horse continued to rush forward. As long as the Qin army blocked him, they would be killed without mercy!

The cavalry of Qin State were shocked to see their lord die so miserable. In addition, the enemies coming from both sides shouted loudly and killed each other. Their fighting will was soon disintegrated. As the captain of the Central Army took Wang Xuanwu's body away, the Qin army began to flee in all directions.

However, it was not easy to escape from the hands of the Hu Ben Army. The Qin Army originally thought that fighting with his back against Guancheng would be spared from worries. However, he did not expect that when the army was defeated, this became the biggest obstacle to their escape.

Many Daqin cavalry who were panicking and rolled into the moat with their men and horses. Although the moat outside Pingling Pass was not deep, it had just rained a few days ago, and the mud inside was overwhelmed by the horse's legs. Whether it was war horses or cavalry wearing armor, it was difficult to get up for a while after being trapped inside. These people were naturally very unlucky, and the Hu Ben Army shot them very easily.

As for those who walked around the city, most of them were chased and killed. Only a few of them were quick to escape. From the beginning to the end, the battle took less than two hours. The 8,000 most elite cavalry in the Qin State were buried in the dark night in front of Pingling Pass.

Now, the Hu Ben Army, which was about to break through the dawn in the east, took advantage of the victory, stopped temporarily. Because, within their sight, was the camp of the 130,000 Qin and Wei troops.

"General! What should we do now?"

The eyes of the captain Wu Sheng were flashing with excitement. Like many soldiers of the Tiger Army, he wiped the magic crossbow in his hands and regarded it as a treasure. This was the most powerful weapon they had ever used. If Murong Licheng now said the order to continue the attack, everyone would rush into the enemy camp without hesitation. Perhaps, only in this way can he calm the boiling blood in his heart.
