Chapter 137 Where is Long Ju? How did he lead his troops?
Huo Qubing's face turned grim, and he asked, "How serious is it?"

The First Emperor said solemnly: "Once they return, they will pose a huge threat to the overall strategy of the Qin Dynasty."

After hearing this, Huo Qubing's face became even more serious. He raised his flag and ordered in a deep voice: "Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, form up! Prepare to charge!"

"Goal: Kill all the enemy cavalry, leaving no one alive!"

Although Huo Qubing did not delve into the "secret" that Ying Zheng had mentioned, since he had already determined that he was a member of the Great Snow Dragon Riders, he was willing to fight to the death for his beliefs.

In his view, this was just an ordinary killing, just eliminating a few hundred more ants who betrayed their master for glory.

Since the purpose is to annihilate the enemy, it naturally still complies with the military order handed down by the Thirteenth Young Master and does not violate the rules.

Boom!
dong dong! !
Boom boom boom! ! !
The motionless Snow Dragon Rider seemed like a giant beast that had been awakened, ready to strike in an instant.

In just ten breaths, a neat and orderly charging formation of five people was formed.

Thirteen breaths later, Huo Qubing waved his command flag, pointed his spear forward, and roared like thunder: "Kill!"

Huo Qubing took the lead, followed by Ying Zheng and Dahei on the left wing. The three of them shot out like arrows.

Immediately afterwards, the earth shook again and smoke and dust rolled.

In just half a day, the Great Snow Dragon Riders launched their third charge.

At this moment, they were facing not only thousands of defeated infantry, but also more than 40,000 enemy troops who were ready for battle.

Facing an enemy whose number far exceeds ours by dozens of times, with only 800 dragon riders, will this confrontation be extremely dangerous?
Ying Zheng never spoke to this question, and Huo Qubing did not answer it either.

Because in their minds, when the Great Snow Dragon Riders launched a charge, it didn't matter whether the number of enemies was 800, 8,000 or 80,000.

……

Dusk fell, the night sky was low, dark clouds gathered, and the world was plunged into darkness.

Although the road ahead is unknown and full of dangers, the Great Snow Dragon Riders never hesitated.

They firmly believed that as long as the blood in their hearts was hot and the spears in their hands were strong, they would not be afraid even if facing millions of powerful troops.

Under the distant sky, more than 42,000 armored troops gathered into a mighty military formation. At the core, Xiang Liang and Han Cheng sat on the towering command vehicle.

As night fell and the distance was too far, they could no longer get a clear glimpse of the battle situation ahead.

Only by hearing the noises and speculating on the previous actions of both parties could one infer that hundreds of riders were launching a whirlwind-like attack on Long Qie's troops.

"Hmph, you really don't know how to live or die." Han Cheng raised the corner of his mouth with a sneer.

"What did Zhang Liang gain this time, or what secret did he master, that caused those few hundred cavalry to disregard their lives and charge into the formation of 8,000 troops?"

Xiang Liang also nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "Perhaps we can not only destroy the tyrannical Qin's recently accumulated food and grass, but also discover some important secrets that are related to the overall situation."

"Brother Han, just wait and see what happens."

The important task of this expedition was entrusted to Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu, a pair of talented people, one civil and one military. The former was a master strategist, while the latter was the bravest of the three armies. They happened to be Han Cheng's subordinate and Xiang Liang's nephew respectively.

Whoever wins the battle and achieves outstanding results will undoubtedly win a higher decision-making weight in the coalition forces.

Although the two coaches did not say it explicitly, they had already been competing secretly in their hearts.

However, the current situation seems to have shown that Zhang Liang led his troops to return victoriously ahead of schedule, which attracted the enemy's furious pursuit, and his achievements were obviously more significant.

Although Xiang Liang was unwilling to accept this, he had to admit the reality.

At this moment, Zhang Liang and his party have been safely integrated into the array of 8,000 infantrymen. Han Cheng chuckled with satisfaction: "The overall situation has been decided."

Compared with Han Cheng's calmness, Xiang Liang had a gloomy face. He secretly blamed Xiang Yu for his incompetence and for being overshadowed by a mere strategist.

Just as his thoughts were in a state of confusion, a burst of thunderous horse hooves suddenly exploded in the night sky. It was the shocking sound of the cavalry charging. As the night deepened, dark clouds covered the moon, and the battlefield seven or eight miles away was shrouded in heavy fog. Even with eight thousand infantry blocking the way, it was still difficult to see through.

According to common sense, the eight hundred cavalrymen should rush straight to the front of the formation, trying to find a gap to break through. If there is no good opportunity, they may only be able to harass the enemy briefly before retreating on their own.

Han Cheng and Xiang Liang could not have imagined that these seemingly reckless knights had the courage to charge straight into the formation.

However, within just a dozen breaths, the situation took a turn for the worse, which was astonishing.

"what happened?"

The two looked at each other in shock.

Zhang Liang's cavalry, who had been holding their positions, suddenly rushed out of the army like wild horses and fled in panic towards the main camp.

Then, shrill cries and panicked footsteps intertwined into one, and the eight thousand infantrymen seemed to have encountered the devils from hell and instantly fell into a state of collapse and escape.

"How...how could this happen?"

Xiang Liang was shocked and confused.

"How could there be so many casualties in just a split second?"

"How could the morale of Long Qie's men collapse so easily?"

"Where is their military discipline? Even if they are defeated, they should retreat in an orderly manner!"

"Where is Long Jue? How does he lead the troops?"

Xiang Liang was furious. First, Xiang Yu was defeated by Zhang Liang in the battle for merit. This time he sent Long Ju to support him, but he lost face again.

In this way, wouldn't it make people mistakenly believe that Chu was inferior to Han in strength?

Xiang Liang was feeling depressed as the 8,000 soldiers fleeing before him were all elite troops from his old Chu state. He had wanted to establish his prestige with the help of Long Ju.

Who would have thought that as soon as the battle began, they would be completely defeated in just a dozen breaths under the charge of hundreds of enemy cavalry, and their defeat was so unclear!

Why is this happening?
When the situation calms down, I will definitely ask Long Qie for clarification if necessary!

If his answer is even slightly wrong, he will be stripped of his general position!
snort!
What a waste.

However, he didn't know that Long Qie was no longer in this world at this moment, and what's worse, the two of them would soon glare at each other in anger in the underworld.

"Long Qie, so you are here!"

"That's right, my lord. Why are you here too?"

Just as Xiang Liang was feeling angry, Han Cheng's face turned as cold as ice, his eyes fixed on Zhang Liang and his cavalry who were galloping towards their position.

I couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Everyone says that the heroes of Chu State are extremely powerful and mighty. Xiang Yu has the strength to move mountains and the courage to surpass the world. Long Ju is even the bravest of all the three armies. But now it seems that they are just so-so!
Now that the elite Chu army has been destroyed, won't the overall situation of the anti-Qin alliance be at the mercy of me, Han?
You must know that among the more than 42,000 existing soldiers and horses, a full 35,000 are all from my Han family!

If you, Xiang Liang, are unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility, the position of alliance leader must naturally belong to me, Han Cheng.

At this moment, the deafening sound of horse hooves seemed to pause briefly, as if they were not in a hurry to pursue after breaking through the enemy's formation.

In fact, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is regrouping, and Huo Qubing and Ying Zheng are plotting countermeasures.

After about dozens of breaths, suddenly, the sound of iron hooves hitting the ground was heard again in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook violently, and the enemy's heavy cavalry swept in again like a tide!
