Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 186 Ghost Cavalry
Yunzhong originally belonged to Zhao State, Qin destroyed Zhao and established Yunzhong County.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched an anti-Qin riot in Daze Township. The whole country rose up, and all parts of Kanto rebelled. Yunzhong County was merged into Dai State and Zhao State. Up to now, only the Linhu tribe is still nomadic in the Yunzhong Grassland.

Later, King Lin Hu simply occupied Yunzhong City.

However, today's Yunzhong City is no longer what it was when it was first built. Most of the earthen city walls rammed with loess have collapsed. The Linhu people only patched wooden fences on dozens of large and small gaps. It can resist the attack of wild beasts, but it is impossible to resist the attack of the enemy.

When the soldiers under his command entered the big tent, King Lin Hu was admiring a golden wine lord.

"Your Majesty, it's too bad!" The soldier knelt on one knee and said nervously, "The people from the Central Plains are here!"

"What, people from the Central Plains?" King Lin Hu put down the golden wine baron, and frowned, "Where are the people from the Central Plains, are they Koreans from Yanmen, or Chu people from Jiuyuan?" Yunzhong County is close to Yanmen , Jiuyuan, in addition to having contacts with Xiangzhuang in Jiuyuan, there are also many business contacts with Han Wangxin in Yanmen.

"Yes, they are from the state of Chu in Jiuyuan!"

"Chu people?!" King Lin Hu was startled when he heard this.

If it was a Korean from Yanmen, King Lin Hu was not afraid, as long as he couldn't beat him, he just ran away.

If the people from Chu State in Jiuyuan came, it would be troublesome. The last time the Chu army defeated the Xiutu people at Gaoqueguan, King Lin Hu had heard about it a long time ago. King Xiutu's [-] troops None of them are opponents of the Chu army. Now that the Linhu tribe only has more than [-] horses left, how can they beat the Chu army?The key point is that the Chu army is also cavalry, and they can't even run!

Gritting his teeth, King Lin Hu roared angrily: "Golden Arrow sends orders, all ministries assemble!"

When Xiang Zhuang personally led [-] cavalry to the outside of Yunzhong City, the [-] Lin Hu cavalry had also completed their assembly.

Although King Lin Hu was greedy, he was not stupid. He did not order to defend the city to the death. If the Lin Hu people used backward weapons to face the strong bows and crossbows of the Chu army, they would be defending to the death!At that time, the four city gates and dozens of gaps will be blocked by the Chu army, and King Lin Hu will not be able to escape even if he wants to.

"Hurry up, push the bed crossbows up!"

"There is also a catapult, quickly set up the catapult!"

With the order of King Lin Hu, five hundred bed crossbows were pushed to the front of the formation one after another, and fifty catapults were also erected high in Lin Hu's formation.

From a distance, the fifty catapults looked like fifty huge monsters, ferocious and terrifying.

However, Xiang Zhuang on the opposite side looked indifferent. These bed crossbows and catapults had already been dealt with by Gongshuche long before they were traded to the Linhu people. Now, the arms of the five hundred bed crossbows are still there The throwing arm of the catapult should have rotted away, right?At that moment, Xiang Zhuang gently raised his right hand and pressed forward, and the eight thousand cavalry began to move forward slowly.

When there were still a thousand steps away from the Linhu people, Xiang Zhuang lightly urged the black horse to speed up.

Behind Xiang Zhuang, Meng Ji's [-] Qin cavalry and Pang Yu's [-] Wei cavalry also began to speed up one after another. When they were less than [-] steps away from the Linhu people, the [-] cavalry had already fully accelerated. , I saw the horse's head moving, the horse's mane fluttering, tens of thousands of iron hooves violently knocking on the ground, dust flying, broken grass splashing, and there was a thunderous roar.

In front of Lin Hu's formation on the opposite side, Lin Hu Wang suddenly changed his expression, and immediately turned back to hundreds of strong Lin Hu men who were desperately twisting the winch of the crossbow machine: "Hurry up, move quickly..."

Before the words were finished, the arms of the five hundred bed crossbows suddenly snapped!

The five hundred strong men standing behind the bed crossbow with wooden sticks were caught off guard. Dozens of people were seriously injured by the rebounding crossbow arms, and two of the most unlucky ones were blown out of their heads by the crossbow arms. , the red blood plasma and white brains splashed all over the place, it would be extremely embarrassing.

Almost at the same time, the arms of fifty catapults were also broken!

King Lin Hu's face turned pale in an instant. These cunning Central Plains people had tampered with these bed crossbows and catapults a long time ago. It's hateful, really hateful!
"My lord, the cavalry from the Central Plains are rushing over!" A soldier yelled mournfully.

King Lin Hu suddenly turned his head, only to see that the cavalry of the Chu Army who were rushing forward were already within five hundred paces!

"Damn it!" King Linhu gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his double-edged epee over his head, and roared angrily, "Warriors of the Linhu tribe, assault, the whole army assault..."

##########
Xiang Zhuang rode in the lead and galloped wildly.

The cold north wind blew on his face, it hurt like a knife cut, the ground under his feet receded like a tide, but there were clearly two flames burning faintly in Xiang Zhuang's eyes, after several months of hard work and training, The Qingqi of the Chu Army has finally formed an army. Today, let the Linhu people become the first sacrifice of the Qingqi of the Chu Army!

The Linhu people on the opposite side also greeted them bravely.

All of a sudden, Xiang Zhuangqing pulled out his horizontal knife and raised it above his head, looking up to the sky and screaming: "Oh..."

In an instant, the eight thousand light cavalry who followed aggressively behind quickly spread out towards the two wings, and in less than a moment, a cavalry formation of one thousand cavalry in each row and eight rows in front and back was formed.

Xiang Zhuang raised the horizontal saber high above the top and drew it forward lightly, and the eight thousand Qingqi raised their horned bows in unison, and immediately drew the bows and set up arrows, and a cluster of cold arrows had already aimed at the front and rushed forward Suddenly, the horizontal knife in Xiang Zhuang's hand had already been cut down indifferently, and the next moment, eight thousand light cavalry simultaneously let go of their bowstrings.

In an instant, [-] spikes of heavy arrows shot up into the air. Amidst the ear-piercing screams, the [-] sharp arrows interweaved in the air to form a large rain of death arrows, which shot towards the heads of the Lin Hu cavalry soldiers. When it fell, there was an extremely tragic wailing sound in Lin Hu's formation, and then all the people turned their backs on their backs.

After two waves of arrow rain, the distance between the cavalry of the two sides was less than a hundred steps!
King Lin Hu looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, and the Lin Hu cavalry also raised their short bows one after another, ready to fight back.

Almost at the same time, Xiang Zhuang drew his sword back to its sheath and raised his right hand high, and immediately shook hands into a fist!
Seeing Xiang Zhuang's gesture, the eight thousand Qingqi who followed fiercely behind him turned their horses around one after another, as if a raging torrent suddenly split into two streams, cutting diagonally towards the left and right wings of the Linhu people. When the last row of Qing cavalry from the Chu army separated left and right, a group of strange cavalry suddenly appeared like ghosts!

"This is..." King Lin Hu's pupils shrank sharply.

Following closely behind King Lin Hu, the Lin Hu people who were waiting to fight with the Central Plains people also opened their eyes wide in horror.

What kind of cavalry is this?The knight on horseback was covered in heavy armor, and even his face was covered with a dark visor!There are only two dark slits, revealing the knight's cold eyes!What is especially unbelievable is that the horses of this group of cavalry are actually wearing iron armor!
In addition, every ghost cavalry is holding a thick and long spear. The sharp tip of the spear stands high and pierces straight into the void. Its length is at least three or four feet long. On the left and right sides of the saddle, there are also protruding forward-curved single-edged long knives. The inner blades are shining coldly, and they look very sharp!
Although this group of cavalry is not many, they only look like two hundred or so riders, and the front is only three or four hundred paces, but the pressure on the Linhu people is unprecedented. Humans always feel instinctive about unknown things. For this group of armored cavalry that they have never seen before, every Linhu person feels fear and trembling from the depths of his soul.

"Let the arrows, let the arrows go!" King Lin Hu took a deep breath, raised his sword and shouted, "Shoot them to death!"

More than 5000 Lin Hu cavalry soldiers drew their bows and released arrows one after another, and more than 5000 feathered arrows with bronze arrowheads immediately intertwined into a dense rain of arrows, accumulating and falling on the heads of these two hundred ghost cavalrymen. For a moment, the Linhu people were surprised to find that this group of ghost cavalry was unscathed, and their speed did not even slow down at all!
The feathered arrows shot by the Linhu people were simply not enough to penetrate the heavy armor of this group of ghost cavalry!

All of a sudden, this group of ghostly cavalry was less than fifty steps away from Lin Hu's cavalry.

"Ah...ha!" The ghost cavalry galloping in the middle suddenly roared up to the sky, and more than two hundred ghost cavalrymen pressed down the spears that pierced the void one after another. The long spears formed a row of cold death spear forests in front of the cavalry formation, and then rolled towards the Linhu people.

Immediately, an unstoppable violent aura crushed the Lin Hu people like a mountain and a sea.

The Linhu cavalry rushing forward suddenly became agitated, and the originally rigorous cavalry formation was thrown into chaos in an instant. Facing such a group of ghostly cavalry like steel monsters and such a terrifying momentum, no one could remain calm , and no one can be fearless, no matter how indifferent the grassland barbarians are to life, they still can't do it.

"Devil, these are all devils, run, run, everyone..."

"Oh my god, oh my god, I don't want to die, everyone should run away."

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this? I don't want to stay here and die!"

In the endless fear, more and more Linhu people turned around and joined the ranks of fleeing.

"Don't retreat, don't retreat..." King Lin Hu waved his double-edged sword and roared desperately, trying to save the defeat, but no one paid any attention to him, and even his personal guard cavalry deserted.

Amidst the sound of iron hooves shaking the earth, more than two hundred ghost riders finally slammed into the chaotic Linhu cavalry, and there was a violent crash on the battlefield, and in an instant, more than two hundred Linhu riders The people were pierced through by the sharp spears, and the mounts under their crotch were also knocked over and crushed to death by the mounts of the ghost cavalry.

King Lin Hu, who rushed to the front with his sword, was the first to bear the brunt, and was pierced through the chest by the spear in the middle of the ghostly cavalryman's hand, and then the whole person was hung on the spear and was taken off the horse's back until he swallowed his last breath , King Lin Hu didn't even see the appearance of the ghost cavalry, the last impression he saw was the two cold murderous intent coming out of the opponent's eyes!
