Although the infantry armies of the two sides were evenly matched, and the stamina of the Qin army was obviously stronger than that of the Dai army, after a long time, the Dai army was definitely not an opponent, but before the Dai army showed defeat, the cavalry duel between the two sides had already divided the victory and defeat.

First of all, in terms of troops, the cavalry of the Qin army was only 3,000 people, only half of the Fan Yong army, and even if 300 chariots were added, it was far inferior to the Fan Yong army. What's more, the cavalry of the Qin army is still old-fashioned riding furniture, with flat saddles and no horse shoes, while the Fan Yong army uses new-style horse furniture. Originally, the soldiers of the Fan Yong Army were composed of steppe nomads, who lived on horseback since childhood, and used new horse furniture, which was even more powerful.

Originally, the steppe nomads were a warrior and warlike people, and since returning to the plateau, it was the first time to fight on the battlefield, so everyone had a good breath of air, to have a good example in this battle, and also to show their strength in front of the plateau, in fact, this battle has not been fought, and the victory or defeat has been decided, it is only a matter of time.

The battle situation on both sides is almost the same, the two sides have not yet met, separated by a distance of fifty or sixty steps, the soldiers of the Fan Yong Army first attacked the Qin army with bows and arrows, although the Qin army also used bows and arrows to return fire, but obviously inferior to the Fan Yong army, after a few rounds of bows and arrows, the casualties of the Qin army were far greater than the Fan Yong army, and even the chariot was overturned more than a dozen. The two sides then approached and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Although the fighting spirit of the Qin cavalry is not under the representative army, and it is indeed very hard, but the gap between the two sides is too big, almost an era gap, so the Qin army is not an opponent, and after a while, it was killed by the Fan Yong army, and countless injuries were killed, and the chariot was overturned, with heavy casualties, and after a while, the Qin army on both wings was scattered by the Fan Yong army, and the Fan Yong army immediately divided a group of men and horses to continue to pursue the Qin army, and the rest of the army rushed to the main formation of the Qin army from both sides to support the infantry army to fight.

Fortunately, at this time, the Qin army also had a phalanx of crossbowmen, and at that moment Han Teng immediately ordered that this phalanx be divided into two batches, respectively, to meet the cavalry of the Fan Yong Army, and prevent the Fan Yong Army from attacking the Qin army in the battlefield, because the Qin army has always been famous for its strong bows and crossbows, so at this time it is also the best combat method of the Qin army. For a while, the arrows were as dense as raindrops, and they all shot towards the Fan Yongjun.

However, in the face of the Qin army's strong bows and crossbows, the Fan Yong army did not blindly rush head-on, but divided into several teams of 100 people, from different directions, took turns to attack the Qin army's position, and used bows and arrows to return fire at the Qin army, while other armies looked for opportunities to attack the Qin army's infantry army.

Although the Qin army's bow and crossbow are really powerful, but in the face of the Fan Yong Army's swimming attack, it is also impossible to prevent it, after each round of the Fan Yong Army's squad rushes through, although a few people will be shot down, but in the array of the Qin army, there will also be more soldiers who will be shot, because the cavalry is moving at high speed, so the Qin army's hit is not high, on the contrary, the Qin army's crossbowmen are stationary in place, and the casualties are of course much greater, and now they can hold their positions It is very strong, It was impossible to stop the Fan Yong Army from attacking the infantry battlefield.

At this time, several cavalry squads had already entered the battlefield, but they did not directly rush to kill, but maintained a distance of thirty or forty paces, shot with bows and arrows, and waited for the Qin army to chase them out, and immediately retreated.

The battlefield also showed a state of chaos, the infantry, cavalry, and chariots on both sides were intertwined with each other, the guns and halberds exchanged guns, the shields collided, the arrows and crossbows whistled, the horses neighed, the soldiers roared, and the large battlefield was divided into several small battlefields, and each small battlefield was relatively independent and affected each other, and it was impossible to see who had the upper hand and who was at a disadvantage.

But the plateau watching the battle on the chariot breathed a sigh of relief, although the battlefield was still in a stalemate at this time, and the situation was also very chaotic, but the plateau grasped the entire battle situation very clearly, every local battlefield, are clearly reflected in the mind of the plateau, now the largest battlefield is still the infantry of the two sides of the battle, although the army is at a disadvantage, but still can still hold on, and after the cavalry of the army entered the war, immediately took the initiative in the battlefield, the Qin army has obviously had nothing to do with the cavalry of the army, Therefore, if the situation of the war continues like this, victory will ultimately belong to the representative army.

And at this moment, the horn in the Qin army's array sounded again, and the Qin army took the initiative to withdraw.

Although Han Teng is not as good as Gao Yuan in the ability to use troops, his observation of the entire battle situation is not inferior to Gao Yuan, so he also has a very clear understanding of the situation of the battle, although the two sides are now in a state of stalemate, but Han Teng is very keen to find that although the infantry formation of the Dai Army is very exquisite, but under the blow of the Qin Army led by the Nanyang Army, it is still not an opponent, but the cavalry of the Dai Army is far stronger than the cavalry and chariots of the Qin Army, at least in this Qin army, there is basically nothing to do about the cavalry of the Dai Army.

Therefore, Han Teng also knew very well that after a long time, the Qin army was obviously no match for the Dai army, so he could only take advantage of the fact that the Qin army was not yet defeated, retreat at the very moment, and be able to get out, if the Qin army was defeated and the Dai army followed by pursuit, then the Qin army would be defeated.

After the horn of withdrawal was sounded, the Qin army immediately began to retreat from the battlefield, which also reflected that the Qin army was indeed well-trained, and there was no confusion in the retreat, covering each other and retreating in turn, so that the Dai army could not find too many opportunities to take advantage of. Moreover, although the mandarin duck formation can also be used for offensive combat, it is not suitable for pursuit, because in the pursuit, the shield bearers and pikemen in the front row are basically useless.

If the other party is defeated, of course, the Dai army can not maintain the queue of the Mandarin Duck Formation, and carry out a free pursuit, but now the Qin army is retreating in an orderly manner, and it is necessary to prevent the counterattack of the Qin army, so each Mandarin Duck Formation still maintains a complete formation, so that it is naturally not fast, and the two shield bearers in the front row, each side of the shield weighs dozens of catties, holding such a heavy shield, of course, it is not fast, and it also affects the pursuit speed of the whole team.

However, the retreat of the Qin army was mainly aimed at the traditional infantry army and chariots, but the Dai army also had a strong cavalry army, and the plateau saw that the retreat of the Qin army was in an orderly manner, and his infantry was subject to the formation of the mandarin duck formation, so he could not have any advantage at all, so the plateau also immediately ordered that the infantry army only need to maintain pressure on the Qin army, and do not need to pursue closely, and ordered the cavalry of the Fan Yong Army to serve as the main force to pursue the Qin army from both sides.

At the same time, Gao Yuan sent people into Xingkou City to inform Lu Renjie and Su Hu, and let the two lead the Wei army out of the city to help the battle, of course, not to let them pursue the Qin army, but to let the Wei army clean up the battlefield and capture the wounded and lone Qin soldiers. Although the Qin army was well-trained and disciplined, in the retreat, there were still some scattered soldiers who broke away from the brigade, and there were some wounded Qin soldiers.

After the order was handed down, the Dai army immediately adjusted the mode of pursuit, and the infantry army following the Qin army and the Qin army opened a distance of about twenty paces, only shooting with bows and crossbows, but they were not imminent, but still maintained strong pressure on the Qin army. The cavalry of the Fan Yong Army pursued the Qin army from both sides, and the Fan Yong army did not kill into the array of the Qin army to slash and kill, but divided the whole army into two or three hundred-man squads, and took turns to charge and kill from the flanks and rear, first a burst of bow and arrow shooting, disrupting the formation of the Qin army, and then immediately rushing up to kill the small Qin army and the brigade that were disrupted, and encircled and suppressed.

This kind of pursuit method has never been seen by the Qin army, because the cavalry tactics of this era are not mature, and the tactics against the cavalry are almost zero, so in the face of the pursuit of the cavalry of the Dai Army, the Qin Army does not have many methods, and as a result, it is scattered little by little by the Dai Army, like cannibalizing mulberry leaves, encroaching layer by layer.

However, this is the case, the Qin army still showed strict discipline, no matter how the Dai army invaded and attacked, it still maintained a tight formation, fought and retreated, and was not defeated by the Dai army.

In this way, the two sides retreated and advanced, pursued and fled, and chased out more than 20 miles away in one go, although the Qin army lost a considerable number of troops, but it always retreated without chaos, and the Dai army has not been able to disrupt the Qin army. Seeing this, Gao Yuan also had to admire the Qin army, it was indeed an iron-blooded army, and even the Dai army did not dare to guarantee that in such a situation, it could still maintain an orderly formation, defeat but not chaos.

And it is not a way to chase down for a long time like this, so Gao Yuan also decided to accept it when he saw it, and ordered to collect his troops and return to Xingkou.

At this time, on the original battlefield, Lu Renjie and Su Hujijing led the Wei army to clean up the battlefield, pack up the weapons left by the Qin army, and also capture a lot of Qin soldiers and prisoners. Seeing that Gao Yuan led the Dai army back, the soldiers of the Wei army also stepped forward on their own initiative, saluted the Dai army, and showed a look of respect and admiration on their faces.

And Lu Renjie, Su Hu and Wei Zheng also hurried to the car of the plateau, and stood on the side of the road with a bowful bow, welcoming the victory of the plateau and his party. At this time, the three of them had already admired the plateau so much that they were on the ground, and they were also full of confidence in keeping the Wei State.

Gao Yuan said: "Anchengjun, please rush back to Daliang now, tell the king of Wei the news of this victory, I will arrange defensive affairs in Xingkou, and wait for the arrival of the Chu army and the other armies of our representative army to converge, and then I will rush to Daliang, and ask the king of Wei to order, immediately prepare for war in Daliang, and strictly defend the city defense to resist the Qin army." ”

Wei Zeng knew that the purpose of the plateau was to send the news of the victory back to Daliang and boost the morale of the military and people of the monarch of Wei, because the current Wei State really needed a victory too much, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, I will leave to Daliang immediately and relay Wu Anjun's words to my king." And in the big beam, waiting for Wu Anjun's big frame to come. ”

After finishing speaking, Wei Zeng respectfully saluted Gao Yuan, then turned around and left, preparing to return to Daliang.
