Chapter 171: Another string up again?
Escape, that's right, it means to withdraw back to the headquarters, temporarily avoid the sharp edge, and preserve these precious 3,000 cavalry.

There may be only more than 2,000 riders left now, but as long as the mountains remain, he will definitely take revenge for this blood debt!
Almost at the same moment, the five hundred Snow Dragon Riders of the Qin Army issued an order: "Shoot!"

The air waves swept across, and the white net was woven densely! Five hundred sharp arrows were like an earthquake in a deep pit, and the tails trembled continuously, tearing the air.

As the blood mist spread, the roar echoed in the air, and more than a hundred riders fell down in an instant.

At this moment, one thousand of the three thousand personal guards led by Xiang Yu had been killed, and the front row of cavalry was littered with corpses.

The frightened war horses fled in all directions, and it was not easy to regroup.

Although Xiang Yu was only ten meters away from the enemy's Snow Dragon Cavalry, he knew that they no longer had the strength to organize a charge.

So he made a wise choice, divided his troops into two sides, and turned around and fled!
Xiang Yu personally served as the rear guard and vowed to defend until death!
The First Emperor was in the rear, and his blood boiled when he saw the power of the third wave of volleys.

The Great Snow Dragon Riders and 20,000 soldiers were equally high-spirited, and the morale of the Qin army, which had been suppressed for many days, instantly rose.

"Hunt!"

At the general's command, everyone rushed forward bravely and gave chase madly.

The dragon cavalry troops behind the First Emperor were also ready to launch an all-out attack to kill the enemy cavalry who attempted to escape.

This group of enemy troops is crucial and is about to return to rescue the main infantry camp. If we don't chase them now, when will we?

This is the battlefield, seize the fleeting opportunity!

However, the scene that frightened Xiang Yu and shocked the First Emperor was repeated.

This time, both Xiang Yu and the First Emperor clearly heard a click. That sound had also been heard in the previous two volleys, but it was not so eye-catching.

It was as if hundreds of machines were loaded at the same time, click!
Xiang Yu looked back suddenly, and suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. An unprecedented despair swept over him.

The mechanisms of the five hundred archers roared again, and five hundred steel arrows flashing with biting cold light shot out from the air, like a curse of death!

Surprisingly, there are more??
Xiang Yu felt a chill all over his body, fear surged like a tide, and his whole body was so tense that he almost suffocated.

Four bursts...

Four consecutive shots!!

Such a deadly volley was enough to kill half of their cavalry!

Xiang Yu was trembling all over, but in contrast, the First Emperor's blood was boiling!

Four bursts!
It was four shots in a row!
No wonder, no wonder he ordered five hundred warriors to charge forward. With such powerful firepower, why did they need to engage in a head-on confrontation?

Why swap positions?

Why wear heavy armor?

Even if the Great Snow Dragon Riders are wearing light armor and holding such a powerful weapon, they are still invincible!
At this moment, the First Emperor had a completely new understanding of the other form of the Great Snow Dragon Rider.

However, this was just the beginning of his understanding of the Great Snow Dragon Riders and new equipment.

……

“Shoot!”

The air surges!

The white arrow net is like a dragnet!

The arrow fell to the ground, the earth trembled, blood spurted, and more than 200 Chu cavalrymen who had no time to turn around fell down!

In the fourth round of volleys, the Chu army lost more than half of its troops. Since there were no cavalry standing in front, the target this time was in the rear, far away from the Snow Dragon Riders, so some Chu soldiers with strong martial arts skills were spared.

Only 1,700 people remain...

Xiang Yu's heart was as cold as a pond.

Today's plan to break through Hangu Pass has completely failed.

His invincible elite troops were killed before the battle even began, and the remaining ones had no choice but to retreat in panic.

If we are pursued, the losses will be incalculable.

At this moment, Xiang Yu really wanted to throw everything away, rush into Hangu Pass alone, and kill all the enemy generals one by one! But reason reminded him not to be so impulsive.

If he did that, he might never be able to return.

And I'm afraid no one of his brothers who followed him would survive.

Even the 20,000 troops behind will face a devastating disaster.

Xiang Yu suppressed his anger, waited for the opportunity, and vowed to take revenge.

At this moment, the remaining 1,000 cavalrymen of the Chu army dispersed to the left and right, used the fallen comrades in front as a barrier, and turned around to flee to the rear.

The First Emperor and his men had no time to be shocked. As veterans of the battlefield, they seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed towards the fleeing cavalry on both sides.

However, there was someone faster than them.

The five hundred Great Snow Dragon Riders once again gave the order: "Divide the troops, pursue, and annihilate them all!"

As soon as the order was given, the five hundred riders split into two silver snakes like a long dragon, as swift as flowing mercury.

They nimbly bypassed the fallen enemy troops, galloped out from both sides, and pounced on the cavalry who tried to escape, launching a ruthless hunt.

When the Great Snow Dragon Rider puts on light armor, its true power is revealed like thunder!

Originally, the five hundred Great Snow Dragon Riders were forty feet away from the fleeing Chu cavalry. Those Chu cavalry were the rear guard of Xiang Yu's personal guard. After receiving the order, they immediately turned around and galloped away fearlessly.

According to common sense, they should quickly distance themselves from the dragon riders following closely behind them and escape into the shelter of the army camp.

Just like what Xiang Yu's personal guards did to Wang Ben and Wang Li, they withdrew immediately after the battle, and no one could match them.

However, what they encountered today were the Great Snow Dragon Riders, and they were the Great Snow Dragon Riders who had taken off their heavy armor.

The moment the order was given, the five hundred riders were like two soaring silver dragons, their horses' iron hooves flying, and they instantly sprinted at full speed, not caring about the constraints of the muddy terrain, and swept in like a gust of wind.

In just three or five breaths, they had followed the deserters on the left and right wings, following them like a shadow!
It was like the shocking scene where Ferrari stepped on the accelerator and instantly overtook Wuling Hongguang.

"How could it be so fast!"

Xiang Yu was stunned. Is this the speed that mortal cavalry should have?
What a majestic horse this is!
This...just what kind of shocking speed is this! ?

"Form a formation and kill the enemy!!!"

At the critical moment of his life, Xiang Yu issued orders again. He could no longer escape, nor could he escape the enemy's pursuit.

If they just run away, they will be caught up in an instant and become targets of backstabs one after another, unable to resist.

In a cavalry duel, there is still a chance of survival if they fight head-on, but if they flee like this, they will only be slaughtered and have no power to fight back.

However, as soon as Xiang Yu gave the order to rein in his horse and turn around to fight, he was stunned.

Because immediately afterwards, he heard the voice that frightened him again.

Click!

It's winding up again? ? ! !

It's no longer four bursts, but five bursts? ? ! !

How many bursts does your crossbow have?? ! !

This is too perverted!
This... this is cheating!
How to deal with this?

After one round of volleys, their own troops were reduced by 10%. After four rounds, almost half of them were lost.

We were already running for our lives, but you were approaching us like a flying bird.

I just ordered everyone to turn around and fight you, and you're again reeling? ? ! !

Shooting again?? !!
Can't you just fight us with real weapons?

Xiang Yu felt like he was about to collapse!
And those royal guards who received the military order, hurriedly reined in their horses, turned around, and prepared to fight a decisive battle with the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry with spears in hand, also felt despair.
