Chapter 125 The heavy cavalry wants to attack the hillside?

With the help of the afterglow of the setting sun, he caught with his sharp eyes that hundreds of people were besieging a few people, and the battle had been going on for a long time.

Huo Qubing immediately turned around and pointed his spear at the distant hillside!
Although the mountain is steep, the horses are heavy, and the enemy troops are numerous, it all depends on whether I will charge forward without hesitation.

On the hillside, the setting sun was as red as blood. Qin Shi Huang's face was full of despair and he was determined to die.

He was no longer able to fight and was ready to draw his sword to kill himself, but the sudden earthquake and the appearance of black cavalry in the distance stopped him abruptly.

Then, he saw hundreds of cavalrymen heading straight for the hillside where he was.

The First Emperor's movements came to a halt.

Are these cavalrymen friends or enemies?
However, when did the Qin Dynasty possess such powerful cavalry?
How heavy are they to make the earth tremble?

If hundreds of people move, the mountains will shake and the earth will tremble?
Then, he suddenly realized a problem. Oh no, if these cavalrymen came to rescue, how could they charge on this steep hillside?
He must not sit there and wait for death, he must rush to the foot of the mountain, where there is hope!
The First Emperor secretly signaled Dahei and called Xiaohei to return, preparing to escape down the mountain and start saving himself.

At this moment, Xiao Hei was determined to die and was ready to fight the enemy to the death.

However, after a sudden turn of events, a trace of true energy was squeezed out of his body, and it flew back to the First Emperor like an arrow.

However, he was not the only one who understood the Emperor's idea. The extremely wise Zhang Liang also thought of this countermeasure at the same moment.

Before the First Emperor took any action, Zhang Liang's command flag was already waving, and he decisively mobilized 500 soldiers to move towards the hillside, shifting the focus of the encirclement to the foot of the mountain, and never allowing the First Emperor and his three companions to have a chance to escape down the mountain.

As to whether those heavy cavalry were from the Qin army and whether they came to rescue the First Emperor, Zhang Liang did not care.

Because eight thousand infantry were galloping towards them, enough to destroy those cavalry.

What's more, they have 50,000 troops backing them up.

Zhang Liang did not even consider the possibility that the cavalry would rush forward to rob people.

Even his thousand-man cavalry with the best war horses in the world could barely climb such a hillside without heavy armor. What about those people?

Just by the sound of their hooves shaking the earth, one could tell how heavy their loads were. Even if they worked themselves to death, they would not be able to make it up the hill.

Although the situation has undergone subtle changes, it is still under Zhang Liang's control.

The First Emperor, who was originally ready to give up, was now inspired again and decided to give it one more try.

At the foot of the mountain, 50,000 troops were commanded by Xiang Liang and Han Cheng.

After receiving Zhang Liang's signal, the most powerful general under Xiang Liang, Long Ju, led 8,000 infantrymen to support.

Long Ju was a member of the Xiang family. His martial arts were second only to Xiang Yu and he was extremely brave.

Zhang Liang waved his flag to signal the infantry to provide support. As the chief general of the anti-Qin army, he naturally bore the brunt of the attack.

This was the first battle of their anti-Qin army, and they sent out elite soldiers.

These eight thousand infantrymen are the trusted troops who have followed the Xiang family for many years. Each of them is tough and strong, full of murderous intent, and they are all experienced veterans.

Since it was a support mission and there was no urgent fighting, Long Qie was not too anxious at first.

It was not until they felt the earth shaking violently and hundreds of cavalry appeared in sight, galloping towards the hillside, that Long Qie ordered a full march, and all the soldiers ran and prepared to fight.

The journey was originally planned to take two hours, but they arrived in just half an hour at full speed.

However, this speed is still not as fast as those lightning-fast cavalry.

But Long Ju was not afraid. He firmly believed that the army led by Zhang Liang was enough to delay time until all the 8,000 soldiers reached the hillside.

As for the heavy cavalry, are they going to attack the hillside?

This is simply a fantasy. No horse in the world can bear such heavy cavalry!

At this moment, everyone's strategic focus was on the open area at the foot of the hillside.

Because everyone agreed that that was the target of the 800 heavy cavalry.

They also expected that their opponents had seen through this, except Huo Qubing and his eight hundred Snow Dragon Riders.

Because from the very beginning, Huo Qubing's spear was pointing at the hillside, and the Great Snow Dragon Riders would only follow the direction of their leader's spear tip, no matter where that was, they would move forward fearlessly.

On the hillside, the three men of the First Emperor gathered their last bit of energy and fought hard to kill the enemy.

Their only chance of survival was to break through the encirclement of hundreds of people, rush down the hillside, and wait for the heavy cavalry to support them.

Although this heavy cavalry team is small in number, it is not easy to destroy them.

However, their appearance undoubtedly made everyone present feel nervous.

If we encounter this team on the plains, it would probably be difficult to deal with them.

Fortunately, there were only eight hundred of them, and they could be wiped out even at the cost of human lives.

The First Emperor and his two entourage tried their best to charge downwards, while Zhang Liang desperately used the enemies' heads to block them, vowing not to let the three men get close to the hillside. Anyway, they were already at the end of their strength, and even if he let them kill, how many could he kill?

As long as we stop them and wait for the army to arrive, victory will be at hand.

Long Qie was also rushing towards this side desperately.

Just like that, accompanied by the thumping sound of the snow horse's hooves, the fierce battle on the hillside fell into a stalemate.

No matter how fiercely the Emperor and his men charged, no matter how bravely they fought, there was always a line of soldiers and horses blocking their way down the mountain.
The sound of horse hooves rolled like thunder, the earth shook more violently, and the First Emperor's heart tightened again.

If this continues, they will only have death!
We must rush down the mountain before the infantry arrives.

However, the enemy commander Zhang Liang's tactics were extremely cruel. In order to achieve his goal, he was willing to sacrifice nearly nine hundred lives, rushing forward one after another to stop them from rushing down the mountain.

Knock, knock.

As time passed, the despair in the Emperor's heart rose again.

Seeing that the eight hundred black-armored cavalrymen were approaching the foot of the mountain, only a mile away, they suddenly stopped.

As the earth shook and the mountains trembled, the long black dragon stood still a mile below the mountain.

At this moment, everyone understood.

The heavy cavalry had already reached their target, and all they had left was to wait.

Even if they took off their armor, they would not have had time to charge forward. The armor was too heavy and there were too many of them to take off quickly, and time simply did not allow it.

At this moment, whether it was Long Ju who was leading the infantry at a gallop, or Zhang Liang who was mocking the First Emperor on the mountain, they all had smiles on their faces. Victory finally belonged to them.

Until the next moment, in the huge smoke and dust at the foot of the mountain, the cavalry who had stopped began to line up.

There are five riders in a row, with a distance of five meters between each rider.

Da da da--

Da da da--

The smoke and dust had not yet dissipated, and within ten breaths, eight hundred Snow Dragon Riders had arranged themselves into hundreds of five-man horizontal rows, facing the hillside, ready for battle.
