After Gao Yuan finished shooting the second crossbow, he immediately hung up the crossbow, drew his spear from behind the saddle with his right hand, and put a round shield on his left hand, which was less than ten meters away from the cavalry of the Qin army. Gao Yuan also raised his spear and stabbed at one of the knights of the Qin army who was rushing towards him. And the other party was also holding a spear and stabbing towards the plateau.

But on the side of the high earth's body, he dodged the opponent's spear, and the spear in his hand also stabbed out, stabbing the knight under the horse.

And then caught up with the second knight of the Qin army and Gao Yuan about two or three meters away, both of them coincidentally swept the spear in their hands towards the opponent, but Gao Yuan leaned back on the horse's back, used a diamond iron plate bridge posture, and lay his whole body flat on the back hip of the war horse, as a result, the opponent's spear swept over the plateau, and the spear in Gao Yuan's hand was firmly whipped on the opponent's chest and shoulder. The knight suddenly lost his saddle, fell on his back, and fell from his horse.

Then Gao Yuan turned over and just sat up straight on the horse's back, but on the other side, another soldier waved Changge and struck down on the plateau. Gao Yuan raised his shield to parry, and the spear in his right hand swung through the horse's head, stabbing at the opponent's face. On the side of the Qin army's head, he dodged the spear stabbed by the plateau. But Gao Yuan changed his stab to shoot, and the head of the spear fell like a club, hitting the opponent's shoulder, and the Qin soldier also sat unsteadily on the horse's back, shook twice, and cut off the horse.

Almost in an instant, the plateau has knocked down three Qin soldiers, in fact, only one was stabbed off the horse by the plateau, and the other two, in fact, were knocked off the horse by the plateau, and at this time, the other cavalry of the Zhao army also engaged the Qin army, but the result of the confrontation between the two sides, nine times out of ten the soldiers of the Qin army were knocked off the war horse, and in this kind of all-cavalry battle, once the war horse is dropped, it is basically nine deaths, and if you want to avoid the trampling of other war horses, you can only see whether your usual character is good.

In this regard, the Zhao army, who has a double-bridge saddle and a horse pedal, has a clear advantage, because the stability on the horseback has been greatly increased, and at the same time, it can also make all kinds of difficult movements. Xiang Gaoyuan's dodging action of lying on the back of the horse's hips was impossible to do in the eyes of the cavalry soldiers of the Qin army. If the Qin army was also equipped with double-high bridge saddles and horse shoes, the plateau might not be able to knock them off their horses lightly.

At this time, the spear of the plateau stabbed at the fourth Qin soldier again, this time stabbing in the middle, and with the impact of the war horse, the spear pierced through the opponent's chest, and the tip of the spear came out from behind. But when this Qin soldier fell off his horse, Gao Yuan couldn't pull out his spear for a while, so he had to let go and abandon the gun.

In fact, being forced to abandon the gun is a common thing in cavalry warfare, so each cavalry of the Zhao army is equipped with two spears, one long and one short, the long one is more than four meters, and the short one is about two meters and a half. In normal times, long-handled guns were used, while short-handled guns were used as spares in the back of the saddle, and were also used for fighting under horses.

However, Gao Yuan, who had lost his long-handled spear, did not use a short-handled spear, but drew his saber and slashed at a Qin soldier who had crossed by him by mistake, and the Qin soldier screamed miserably, his breastplate was cut open, blood gushed out, and he fell down from his horse.

Now the long knives have been cast in two batches, a total of 400 handles, but they are basically assembled for the infantry, and only the officers of the Bai Chang level in the cavalry can assemble the war knives, of course, the generals of the plateau level can be equipped with two handles each.

In fact, the war knife is more powerful in cavalry warfare, because the characteristics of the knife itself are conducive to chopping, and it can use the speed and momentum of the war horse, and it does not need to use too much force to slash, and it can cut through the armor very lightly and kill the opponent. Unlike swords and guns, which are mainly stabbed, not only are they easy to break, but they are also not easy to pull out when they penetrate the body of enemy soldiers, and the only drawback is that the length of the sword is not enough, and it can only be used for close-quarters chopping combat.

But the impact of this deficiency is not great, and the distant enemy will not fight if he can't do it, so after Gao Yuan pulled out his sword, he swung left and right, and killed four or five cavalry of the Qin army in a company. The other Zhao soldiers were also unstoppable, wielding spears and short swords, stabbing or slashing, only to kill the Qin army one after another, although the Qin army was numerous, but the whole battle situation was completely one-sided.

This result also made the two main generals Zhang Han and Dong Fei who supervised the battle in the Qin army's array puzzled, the Qin soldiers and Zhao Bing's individual soldiers have always been equal, which has been recognized on the battlefield in the past, and this time the two brought out are the elite soldiers in the Qin army, why is it that this time with the Zhao army, it is completely vulnerable? If the cavalry of the Zhao army is really far superior to the cavalry of the Qin army, then it will not be so easy for the Qin army to win this war. Of course, at this time, the two didn't realize that this Zhao army cavalry was using a new style of horse furniture.

In fact, the Zhao army was able to occupy an absolute advantage, and the use of new horse furniture was only one aspect, and the use of conical formations and chiseling tactics was also another important reason, that is, the coordination of tactics and weapons. The cavalry of the Qin army still used an infantry-style horizontal array, but the depth reached more than 20 rows, but in the face of the Zhao army's chiseling tactics, it was like inserting a piece of butter with a red-hot table knife, and it did not waste much effort, and it was very easy to kill into the Qin army's array.

Behind the new cavalry, another 2,000 cavalry of the Zhao army, which was also arranged in a horizontal formation, also caught up and launched a full-scale engagement with the Qin army. In fact, this group of cavalry is roughly the same as the Qin army, but because there are more than a dozen conical arrows in front of them to kill the Qin army's array, which greatly demoralizes the Qin army, so after the two sides are fully engaged, the Qin army is still defeated by the Zhao army, and the casualties have also increased significantly.

However, the depth of the Qin army's array was not thick, and after the plateau cut down two more cavalry of the Qin army, he led the Zhao army to break through the Qin army's array, and on the left and right of the plateau, the other Zhao armies also broke through the Qin army's array one after another and killed them.

Gao Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the outcome of this battle had been decided. Then with a wave of the sword, he turned the horse's head, turned to the back of the Qin army to kill, and cut off the two Qin soldiers with their backs to him with two swords, while the other Zhao troops also turned their horses one after another, and quickly unfolded from the conical array, and turned into a horizontal formation, and then rushed towards the Qin army. Many Qin soldiers had time to turn around before they were stabbed off their horses by the Zhao cavalry who turned around.

This is also the result of the peacetime training of the plateau cavalry army, which first chiseled through the opponent's formation with a conical array during combat, and then spread horizontally behind the enemy's back, killing back, and striving to disrupt the opponent in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, at this time, the Qin army was attacked by the enemy, some soldiers pulled their horses and turned their heads to meet the battle, and some soldiers rode their horses to rush forward, and suddenly there was a big chaos, and the morale of the Zhao army increased greatly, and the front and rear attacked, and some soldiers even blossomed in the center, killing the Qin army all over the field, and the blood flowed into a canal.

Although the military discipline of the Qin army was strict, at this time, everyone knew that this battle was bound to be defeated, so they couldn't care about it, and they fled from the battlefield one after another, even Zhang Han and Dong Fei couldn't stop drinking, and in the blink of an eye, it became the rout of the whole army, and Zhang Han and Dong Fei couldn't help themselves at this time, followed the defeated army, and fled back together.

After defeating the Qin army, the morale of the Zhao army was greatly boosted, and then it pursued for a while, and chased for more than ten miles, only to stop the pursuit under the stop of the plateau, and collect the troops to return to the original battlefield.

After a simple count, a total of more than 2,300 Qin troops were killed in this battle, and more than 170 were captured, while the Zhao army itself only had 237 killed and more than 300 wounded. The new cavalry suffered only fifty-two casualties and one hundred and twenty-six. In addition, more than 700 war horses, more than 1,000 weapons such as swords, guns and halberds were also captured by the Qin army.

It's just that the battle array is too close to Qiu You, and the Qin army may send troops to pursue it at any time, so the plateau didn't dare to stay in place for a long time, so he just collected the corpses of the fallen Zhao soldiers, and then brought the collected loot and prisoners, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield and retreated to Jingcheng. Even the dead Qin soldiers' clothes and armor didn't have time to take away, let alone bury them, anyway, the Qin army would come to clean them up.

But that's it, the results of this battle can also be regarded as very brilliant, because whether it is the casualties caused to the Qin army, or the spoils collected, they are far more than the battle of the raid on the Qin army's camp, and it can be regarded as an unintentional result of planting flowers, and this is the result of the formal battle between the two sides in a good formation, face-to-face in the formal battle, the Qin army was defeated and had nothing to say, so although this battle could not change the overall situation, it did give the Qin army a dismount, which greatly frustrated the Qin army's spirit.

However, if there was no plan to raid the Qin army on the plateau, it would not have been possible to win this battle, so these two victories are actually closely related.

Sure enough, not long after Gao Yuan led the army to evacuate, the Qin army really returned to the battlefield. It turned out that after Zhang Han and Dong Fei were defeated, they fled for nearly twenty miles in one go, and met Sima Xin's men and horses sent by Mengwu to meet them.

But when the Qin army returned to the battlefield, all they were left with were the corpses of Qin soldiers and war horses everywhere, as well as a few war horses that the Zhao army had no time to take away, and the Zhao army had all withdrawn.

First, the Zhao army was a full cavalry army, and the Qin army couldn't catch up if they wanted to, and secondly, after this battle, the Qin army really didn't have the courage to chase after the Zhao army again, so everyone just took away the corpses of the dead Qin soldiers, cleaned up the battlefield again, buried the dead horses, and then the Qin army also retreated to the enemy.
