Chapter 167: Lure the enemy deep into our territory and exchange them!
Facing an army of 10,000 men, Xiang Yu's army of only 3,000 men should not have encountered such a situation.

However, Xiang Yu seemed to be carried away by victory.

During these days, he led the cavalry to easily kill the Qin army, so much so that he led 3,000 cavalry out of the infantry camp and rushed straight towards the city wall.

Oh, so what if we are surrounded?

My cavalry was fast, so breaking through was easy for me.

If you surround me, can you kill me?
This is Xiang Yu's pride, he is very skilled and brave.

However, this time, it would become the most regretful charge in his life.

Yes, although Xiang Yu was strong, the Qin army was not stupid, at least the Wang family father and son were not stupid.

They would never get hot-blooded and rashly send troops just because of a few sarcastic remarks from Xiang Yu.

Han Xin's carefully planned rehearsal unfolds like a drama, and Wang Li's performance is superb.

Just as Xiang Yu was charging forward bravely, inside Hangu Pass, 1,300 lightly armored Snow Dragon Riders had quietly hidden behind the gate, ready to go.

This was the first time that the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry appeared as light cavalry. Although their equipment was light, it was much heavier than ordinary cavalry.

However, these lightly-armored knights seemed to be nothing on the backs of galloping dragon horses, running as if they were flying. They were undoubtedly the nightmare of all the soldiers in the world that relied on speed.

Eight miles away, in the rear camp of the Chu army, Fan Zeng led 20,000 troops to feint an attack on Hangu Pass.

At this moment, he witnessed Xiang Yu leading three thousand people to deviate from the team and head straight for Hangu Pass. He felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he could not find out exactly what the problem was.

Could this be the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy deeper into our territory?
Lord Xiang Yu's bravery is unmatched. In these days of continuous rain when heavy cavalry cannot be used, who can stop him?

Fan Zeng couldn't help but wonder if he was worrying too much.

However, at this moment, Fan Zeng keenly noticed the unusual movements of the mountains on both sides.

He turned back suddenly and his expression changed drastically!

Between the woods and mountains on both sides, two elite troops of the Qin army were seen rushing in, with their swords pointed directly at the flanks of the Chu army camp!

Fan Zeng carefully observed the two teams on the mountain. Neither the dense bushes, slippery gravel, nor the steep slopes could slow down their charge.

Not good!

They are the elite among the elite!
This is the main force of the enemy. We have fallen into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
This realization exploded in Fan Zeng's mind.

"Ming Jin!"

"Quickly sound the horn! Recall the lord, the enemy's main force is in the rear!"

At this moment, Fan Zeng suddenly realized.

The enemy lured Xiang Yu to advance deep into the enemy's territory alone, used new recruits as bait to tie down Lord Xiang Yu, and then sent elite troops to attack from the rear. The Qin army used the "strategy of exchanging children"!
What a sinister strategy!
If this plan succeeds, even if Lord Xiang Yu slaughters all of the 20,000 new recruits, the main force of the Chu army will lose more than half, with 20,000 casualties on each side, but the Qin army will undoubtedly win a great victory, and the Chu army will end in a miserable defeat.

Thinking of this, Fan Zeng felt a chill in his heart.

He immediately ordered the sounding of the horn to recall Xiang Yu and his cavalry.

However.
He underestimated Han Xin's wisdom.

Clang! ! !
A deafening sound of a gong echoed.

At this moment, Xiang Yu was leading three thousand cavalrymen, preparing to receive the twenty thousand new recruits that appeared before them.

When he rushed into the array of new recruits, he could even see the fear flashing in the eyes of the soldiers in the front row, clang~!

Suddenly, the sound of a gong pierced the silence!
Xiang Yu suddenly turned back and found that he had fallen into a trap!

He waved the command flag and quickly ordered the cavalry to stop and prepare to turn around and return for support.

Right now! Ta-da-da.
Inside Hangu Pass, more than a thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders rushed out of the gate like thunder.

Han Xin's military prowess was demonstrated for the first time.

It was a rainy day and the sky was gray.

However, even more gloomy than the weather was Fan Zeng's mood.

Although he quickly adjusted his formation to resist the elite Qin troops on both sides who were like tigers descending from the mountains, his intuition told him that the battle was already showing signs of being unfavorable.

The enemy commander seemed like a different person, and every strategic move accurately predicted their response.

Xiang Yu was lured deep into the enemy camp, and the enemy sent a surprise attack from the rear. Just when he sounded the horn to recall Xiang Yu, the enemy's venomous snake finally showed its fangs.

At this moment, Fan Zeng felt a chill in his heart. This was not Wang Ben's usual tactic. Who was this opponent and how could he be so adept at maneuvering between light and darkness?

Fortunately, Xiang Yu's troops were invincible. As long as the army in the rear could hold on for a while and wait for Xiang Yu's return, the crisis could be resolved.

However, 40,000 Qin troops came in force, and they only had 20,000 soldiers. They were attacked from both sides, so a heavy loss was inevitable.

Fan Zeng silently analyzed the battle situation and had a premonition that they were about to get into trouble.

At the same time, Xiang Yu heard the recall horn and was ordering his cavalry to turn their horses around and prepare to attack.

Suddenly, the gate of Hangu Pass opened and the sound of horse hooves shook like thunder.

Xiang Yu looked back and saw more than a thousand strong cavalrymen galloping out of the two sluice gates and galloping towards them.

This was the first time he had seen such a thousand cavalrymen. Each warhorse was extremely powerful and superior to his three thousand cavalrymen.

The cavalry and their horses were all wearing silver armor. In the dim light of rain and cloudy weather, they looked like a sparkling silver snowflake, dazzling and blinding.

Big Snow Dragon Rider!

The name instantly echoed in Xiang Yu's mind.

He was not unfamiliar with the Qin army's heavy cavalry, the Snow Dragon Cavalry. However, at this moment, he realized that this unit also had such a lightly equipped form.

The armor was designed to be lightweight, combining the speed of a charging horse with the vibration of the soil beneath the feet.

Xiang Yu knew very well that if he did not eliminate these more than a thousand Snow Dragon Riders, he would probably not be able to return to the camp.

But, so what?

"Hahahaha!"

Xiang Yu suddenly laughed wildly, "Great Snow Dragon Rider? Even if you take off your heavy armor, it's hard to stop me, Xiang Yu!"

"Warriors of Chu! Stop and follow me to fight!"

Xiang Yu had long been wary of the Qin army's Snow Dragon Cavalry. His previous attempts to break through the Qin army's defenses were always hesitant due to the power of the enemy's heavy cavalry.

Even if he could hold his own, his cavalry brothers wouldn't be able to withstand a charge!
Therefore, in these battles, Xiang Yu hated the eight hundred heavy cavalrymen of the Snow Dragon Riders to the core.

Unexpectedly, today's enemy troops not only exceeded 800, but also had more than 1,000 cavalrymen, and in order to adapt to the rainy weather, they actually changed into light cavalry equipment!
At this moment, Xiang Yu was overwhelmed by an impulse. Even though the 20,000 infantrymen in the rear had suffered heavy losses, he was determined to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to wipe out the more than a thousand Snow Dragon Cavalry in one fell swoop!
After losing them, even if Xiang Yu led a brand new army, the Qin army would tremble under his power!
As for whether it is possible to destroy the more than one thousand Snow Dragon Riders in front of us?
Haha, what a joke!

Without their heavy armor, they were like tigers without their fangs, and Xiang Yu's current strength and the high morale of his cavalry were enough to easily destroy them.

"Brothers! If we wipe out this group of cavalry today, Xianyang will tremble under our horses' hooves tomorrow!"

"Charge with me!!!"

"kill!!!"
