The two cavalry armies met on the battlefield and a fierce battle ensued. Therefore, for a while, the sword and gun, the war horse was vertical and horizontal, and people kept falling off the horse's back.

The five hundred Han cavalry soldiers who fought were all selected from the Fan Yong Army, and they were all veterans who had fought with the plateau for many years, all of them were superb in horsemanship, brave and good at fighting, and after many years of fighting, they were already very proficient in cavalry tactics, whether it was individual combat, or small team cooperation, or overall charge, they were far from being able to compare with the Qin army that had just started.

In addition, the weapons equipped by the Han cavalry are also special for cavalry warfare, such as the spears used are equipped with blocking hands, so there is no need to worry about sliding with a single-handed gun; The sabers all come with handguards to protect the fingers in mounted combat; At the same time, each person is also equipped with two small crossbows, although the range of this small crossbow is only ten steps, but in close combat, there is still a lot of lethality, don't look at these are small details, but on the battlefield, any detail may be the death of a soldier Guan Jian.

Therefore, although the number of Han cavalry is far less than that of the Qin army, it gallops in the Qin army's array, rushing left and right, and when the two horses staggered, six or seven out of ten who fell off the horse were Qin soldiers.

And just when the cavalry of the two sides started a fierce battle, on the edge of the altar, the battle also underwent a heavy change, first of all, countless jackals, tigers and leopards appeared on the altar, and pounced on the Qin army from the altar, it turned out to be the Han army's hundred training beast army attacked.

At this time, the Qi army has basically retreated to the first floor of the altar, and all the Qin soldiers under the altar are Qin soldiers, although the Qin soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but people are born with a certain fear of wild beasts, and the Qin soldiers are no exception, so after seeing the jackals, tigers and leopards that pounced down from the altar, only a few Qin soldiers were pounced down by the tigers and wolves, but most of the Qin soldiers were instinctively afraid of retreating, and the formation immediately became chaotic.

And with the jackals, tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, there are many Han soldiers jumped down from the altar, each waved their weapons, rushed to the Qin soldiers, taking advantage of the chaos of the Qin soldiers, killed a lot of Qin soldiers in a company, and immediately killed the Qin army back more than ten steps, and the Qi army saw this, they also jumped down from the altar, and also followed behind the Han army, killing the Qin soldiers.

The Qin army was taken by surprise and retreated more than 20 steps backwards before it could be regarded as steady, and reorganized its formation, and engaged in fierce battles with the Han Qi army and fierce beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards. At this time, the Qin army had about 4,000 people, and the total Han Qi army was only more than 1,000 people, and there were actually only two or three hundred beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards, which were far less than the number of the Qin army, so after the Qin army stabilized its foothold, it would definitely not be able to resist.

But at this moment, from the left and right sides of the altar, another army came out and penetrated directly into the two ribs of the Qin army. It turned out that the two armies of Han and Chu had finally arrived. Although the Han army was able to produce less than 1,000 troops at this time, the chariots in front of the altar were all dispatched, and the chariots coordinated to attack the Qin army, and the Chu army had been recuperating from the beginning of the war, and now it finally got the opportunity to fight, it was the time when it was full of energy, and for nearly a hundred years, the Chu State had been suppressed by the Qin State, and in the hearts of the soldiers, they were full of hatred for the Qin State, coupled with the mobilization of the plateau before the war, so at this time it was also full of revenge against the Qin State, once the Qin army was at war, They all rushed and killed, rushed and struck, and they only hated that they couldn't kill the Qin army.

This time it was a three-sided attack, and the Qin army suddenly couldn't resist it, and it had already stabilized the position, but it was beaten back again and again. But after all, the Qin army is well-trained, and almost all of the middle and lower-level officers are experienced in a hundred battles, and it is only when they encounter fierce beasts that they cause some panic, but it doesn't take much time to adjust.

Gao Yuan watched the progress of the war on the altar, and couldn't help but admire that the Qin army was indeed well-trained, which was tempered with a hundred years of war, and from a certain point of view, even the Han army was far behind.

However, the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu were greatly relieved at this time, although the war was not completely over at this time, but after all, the Qin army was killed and retreated, and at this time they had withdrawn from the distance of thirty or forty steps, away from the altar, and from the feeling of feeling, they also felt much safer. At the same time, I also have to admire the plateau, which is indeed worthy of the name of the soldier, and actually really repelled the Qin army, so that some people even think about how to celebrate the victory.

But there was no relaxed expression on Gao Yuan's face, and of course, from the beginning of the battle, Gao Yuan never appeared nervous or heavy, and always had a normal expression. However, Gao Yuan knew that the Qin army was still far from defeat, and it was far from the time to celebrate victory.

And at this moment, Wang Zhang also made his own response, he immediately ordered, and sent another 3,000 cavalry troops into the battlefield. At this time, the Qin army had invested more than 11,000 troops in the battlefield, and only more than 1,000 people remained by Wang Zhang's side.

At this time, the battle was divided into two battlefields, one was about a thousand steps in the east corner of the altar, and the cavalry of both sides were chasing and tearing each other, and the Qin army had gradually gained the upper hand; The other was in front of the altar, after the armies of the Han, Qi and Chu Kingdoms launched a counterattack, they once suppressed the momentum of the Qin army and killed the Qin army to retreat again and again. However, Wang Zhang was not too worried, because now he had learned that the cavalry army he had killed just now was only five or six hundred people, and it was not a reinforcement, so Wang Zhang was also very relieved, and on the battlefield by the altar, Wang Zhang believed that after sending three thousand cavalry troops to participate in the battle, he would definitely be able to change the current battlefield situation.

Sure enough, after the 3,000 cavalry joined the battlefield, the momentum of the Qin army's retreat was immediately contained, and the two sides entered a situation of balance of power. However, in this kind of field battle, the cavalry army is obviously superior to the infantry army, the armies of the Han, Qi and Chu Kingdoms are all soldiers, and the Han army still has more than 100 vehicles, which can withstand for a while, and the armies of Qi and Chu are not so lucky, they were killed back and forth by the cavalry of the Qin army, divided, and after a while, they were killed by the Qin army in a chaotic array and fragmented.

At this time, the monarchs and ministers of Qi and Chu suddenly became nervous again, but when they looked at the plateau again, they saw that his expression was still the same, so they felt a little relieved, after all, after experiencing the ups and downs of the shape just now, everyone's confidence in the plateau has also increased a lot, and I believe that he will definitely have a way to turn the situation around again.

And at this time, Gao Yuan smiled, pointed to the distance, and said, "Everyone, we have won this battle, because our reinforcements have arrived. ”

Only then did everyone look in the direction of the plateau's fingers, and saw that there was indeed a lot of dust in the distance, and an army was rushing towards the altar. Only at this time did everyone settle down completely, and as long as reinforcements arrived, the outcome of the battle could not be changed.

At this time, Tian Kezang said: "King Han, there is something unclear in the following, and I ask the king of Han to explain it for the next." ”

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "What does An Pingjun want to ask, the widow should be relieved for An Pingjun." ”

Tian Kezang said: "When the Qin army attacked the altar, the army of our Three Kingdoms could completely hold the altar, so as long as the reinforcements arrived, they could naturally defeat the Qin army, but why didn't the King of Han wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then ordered to attack the Qin army, if the reinforcements came a moment late, wouldn't it be dangerous?" ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "What An Pingjun said is good, as long as we hold the altar and only wait until the reinforcements arrive, we can indeed defeat the Qin army, but this time the Qin army that came to the assault is all cavalry, and they will notice it before the reinforcements arrive; Second, when the reinforcements arrive, the Qin army can also retreat at the very moment, although the defeat and retreat, but can reduce the losses, so we can only launch a counterattack against the Qin army before the reinforcements are about to arrive, only in this way can we attract the attention of the Qin army, so that they have no energy to pay attention to the reinforcements, and in addition, we can also drag the Qin army, so that the Qin army can not retreat calmly, we can cooperate with the reinforcements, defeat the Qin army together, and at the same time cause heavy casualties to the Qin army, so that the Qin army will never dare to despise us in the future. ”

After hearing this, Tian Kezang suddenly realized, and he couldn't help but admire Gao Yuan's thoughtfulness. And others feel the same way, and naturally they are more convinced of the plateau.

At this time on the battlefield, Wang Zhang also found that the reinforcements were coming, but the time he expected was greatly advanced, according to Wang Zhang's prediction, the reinforcements would take at least three hours to arrive, but now there are not even two hours, and the reinforcements actually arrived, which is indeed much beyond Wang Zhang's expectations.

In fact, this is not surprising, it turned out that Wang Zhang calculated the time when the reinforcements arrived according to the speed of the chariots and infantry, and now it is only the Han army that rushed to the battlefield, and there was no Qi and Chu armies, although this time the plateau only brought three thousand Fan Yong cavalry and one thousand heavy armored cavalry, but the infantry of the Han army were equipped with war horses to strengthen the speed of the whole army, so after receiving the order of the plateau, Ling Feng immediately led the remaining two thousand five hundred Fan Yong cavalry and heavy armored cavalry, as well as five thousand infantry, and rushed to the battlefield on horseback.

Of course, Wang Zhang knew that this battle must end before the reinforcements arrived, if the reinforcements arrived, the Qin army would definitely not be able to defeat it, if the reinforcements of the Han, Qi and Chu Kingdoms arrived on the battlefield before the battle ended, the Qin army should retreat immediately and quickly evacuate the battlefield, otherwise there would be a danger of annihilation.

But these ideas are good, but now the Qin army is fighting with the armies of the Hanqi and Chu Kingdoms, and the retreat at this time is not to fight and retreat as much as possible just now, but to evacuate as soon as possible, and this time it will inevitably be pursued by the armies of the Han, Qi and Chu Kingdoms, and the casualties will be very heavy, but if they do not withdraw, when the reinforcements arrive, the Qin army will undoubtedly be defeated. Wang Zhang is not a very decisive person, and how to choose now has put him in a dilemma.

And after some thought, Wang Zhang finally made a decision to retreat from the battlefield immediately, the sooner the better.
