In the textbook compiled by Qin Lei for the officers' school, there is a narrative: "The reason why cavalry is the king of the battlefield is not because of how thick the armor is and how heavy the weapons are, but because it has two more legs than infantry. In other words, its battlefield power is far stronger than other types of troops. This gives cavalry a high degree of freedom. They can decide whether to catch the enemy with one's own blade or keep a distance, whether to divide and surround or escape from a distance, and the wonderful use lies in one's heart."

"If they are experienced generals, they will throw cavalry into weak areas of their opponents or in areas where their formation is already shaky, in order to use the cavalry's maneuver power, completely break down and divide the opponent without the opponent's time to react, and achieve victory."

In front of Hulao Pass, the creatures were tragic, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with blood, and the setting sun was like blood.

The Qi army rushed down from the high slope, but always maintained a relatively complete formation, which reflected the good quality of the Qi infantry - the Qi people's instinctive obeyed orders and obeyed commands, giving them the possibility of becoming excellent infantry.

With the rhythm of military music and under the unified command of generals and officials at all levels, more than 300,000 soldiers of Qi took rapid steps like raindrops, like mercury pouring down the ground, with pressure and momentum, and launched a fearless counterattack against the Qin cavalry without fear!

Don’t say that the Qi army is lazy in its military, slack in training, greedy for life and fear of death, and forget about righteousness. At the moment of life and death, the courage they burst out is enough to prevent all opponents from taking it lightly!

The first to fight against the Qi army were two black armored cavalry regiments serving as vanguards. Their predecessors were Qin Lei’s personal guards, Black Armored Cavalry. They followed him to fight in the east and west, and fought in the south and north, and took on the most difficult tasks in almost all important battles. No one could match his great military achievements, and even the Longxiang Cavalry could not match.

After great hardships, this glorious team finally achieved success. After merged with the cavalry units of the Iron Armored Army, it was reorganized into the First Division of the First Guards Army, with a number of people expanded to 50,000. It is recognized as one of the two imperial cavalry heroes.

Their equipment is basically the same as that of the Dragon Horse Cavalry, but because it incorporates the bloodline of the iron armored cavalry, the proportion of the troops is exactly the opposite of the Dragon Horse Cavalry, with 60% armored cavalry and 40% string controlled cavalry. Therefore, their tactics are more impactful and destructive...

The black-armored cavalry first used cavalry crossbows to shoot at the enemy at a rapid speed. After the trembling sound of the bowstrings that made people scalp, countless black arrows roared and broke through the wind and shot straight at the vanguard of the Qi army.

The Qi army's Pu Daobing went forward one after another and raised their shields to cover it, but they could only protect the round shield on their chest... Because the Qin merchants bought cowhides at the price of minks, the Qi army should have covered the tough cowhides, but most of them were left with bare wooden boards, so that the Qin army's arrows could easily penetrate the shield and then pierce the soldiers' heads, which could not provide effective cover for the large army. The arrow rain fell in front of the Qi army's formation, and each flower represented the death of a soldier!

Several rounds of rapid arrow rains were smooth, and at least two thousand Qi soldiers were knocked down, disrupting the formation of the Qi army's neat forward. But after getting closer, the Qi army's spearheaders and crossbowmen also began to fight back fiercely at the Qin army. Those four-foot-long sharp short spears and the unique triangular armor-breaking arrows of Qi could penetrate any armor within twenty feet. For a moment, the Qin cavalry rushing in front were all down one after another, which was considered to avenge the brothers.

Seeing this, the leader of the Qin army hung a crossbow on the back of the horse, took off the six-meter-long iron spear, and roared: "Crush!" and then flatly held the long spear and took the lead in rushing towards the enemy. The cavalry also followed suit, put away the crossbow, raised the long spear longer and sharper than the opponent, and rushed into the enemy's formation with a bang. The hand-to-hand combat began!

The black-armored cavalry's iron spear that was hit at high speed would make a short but heavy sound of defeated armor and a painful muffled groan of the other party. Before the Qi army's soldiers could moan, they were picked up by the Qin army's iron spear!

Carrying a huge impact force, the black-armored cavalry rushed into more than ten feet unstoppable, stabbing countless Qi troops to death. Until the resistance became stronger and slower, they threw away the long spear that was unfavorable to melee combat, replaced it with a thick back sabre, and started a melee battle with the opponent!

The brave black armored cavalry swung their heavy and sharp swords and kept slashing at the enemy. Each of them could cause a terrifying wound and completely reimburse an enemy. They only kept fighting to fight the enemy, but ignored the enemy's swords and guns that were slashed on them at all. This did not mean that their proud armor could withstand the enemy's spears. In fact, in the midst of burying the body, those sharp spears could pierce any armor and cause irrescueable wounds to the black armored cavalry.

However, the black-armored cavalry are so brave. They are enduring this unbearable pain with strong endurance, focusing on killing the enemy and moving forward! Until the blood is dry and the heart stops beating, they still maintain the charge forward posture.

This is the blood that never flows dry and the battle to the death!

But the Qi army, who was still fighting with beasts, had reached the edge of the cliff where they could not retreat. The power they burst out should not be underestimated, causing great damage to the black-armored cavalry...

When the two sides were buried in a battle, the situation was much more tragic than before. The swords and swords fought in the air and sparked sparks. The shattered armor spread out to the surroundings. The plasma bursting everywhere dyed the warrior's armor red, and soaked the land under his feet softly and loosely, forming a series of crisscrossing blood streams...

The dying warrior and the broken-legged warrior lying on the ground and whinelessly escaped the fate of being trampled to death by both sides... The head of the beheaded with blood flow like a horse, rolled down a shrill arc and rolled to the feet of the fierce battle, and then was kicked around like a Cuju until someone stomped on his feet or stepped into the mud...

Some soldiers were cut off half of their heads, and before they fell down, they overflowed with pure white brain like bean flowers; some soldiers who were broken belly stared blankly at the strings of intestines that emerged from their stomachs, wrapped in bloody internal organs, and even tried to squeeze them back in vain... These terrible scenes made people desperately crazy.

The rapid sound of war drums and desolate horns hovered over the battlefield, and together with the screams of sharp and tragic soldiers and the neighing of war horses, they played a music running towards death together...

After paying half of the price of loss, the two black armored cavalry regiments finally felt the pressure suddenly decreased, and they suddenly realized that they finally penetrated the enemy's extremely thick military formation. Nearly 10,000 elite cavalry used their lives to exchange for what the prince said, "the enemy's collapsed area"!

When this most difficult and sacrificed task was completed, things became simple. Then the cavalry regiment followed in groups and continued to expand the gap in the formation of the Qi army along the road opened by the comrades. The resistance the Qin army encountered now was much smaller, and they maintained a charge attitude throughout the whole process, wantonly killing the Qi army that had lost its formation, and the losses suffered by their own side were within an absolutely acceptable range.

After being ravaged by the third wave of Qin cavalry, the Qi army's lineup had opened up a hole of more than ten feet wide and could no longer stop the Qin army from being rampant. At this time, the infantry that ended the cover mission finally came up and became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The formation of the Qi army was completely torn apart and the losses were extremely heavy. The soldiers were finally broken and their morale was gone. They all had no intention of fighting, just thinking about escaping from this bloody battlefield as soon as possible. The army without morale was like a pile of sand and could no longer cause much damage to the Qin army. After a short and hopeless resistance, they were immediately surrounded by the fierce Qin army, ready to divide and encircle and annihilate.

Before he knew it, the sky completely dimmed. After a day of battle, the night finally came. Although Qin Lei ordered thousands of bonfires to light up on the battlefield, the visibility still did not meet the minimum requirements of the battle. If the attack was not stopped, not only would the killing effect be greatly reduced, but it would also cause unnecessary damage to one side, which was really not cost-effective.

In desperation, Qin Lei had to ask people to blew the trumpet of stopping the attack and defending on the spot, giving Qi soldiers, who were about to collapse, a chance to breathe.

A quarter of an hour later, the Qin army finally stopped the attack and surrounded the remaining more than 200,000 Qi troops in a narrow area within a radius of ten miles. The two armies looked at each other from afar and spent a good night together.

But the treatment of the two armies is completely different... Qin soldiers have exquisite combat rations to eat... Just pour some water into the heating bag filled with quicklime, seal it into the food bag, and you can eat delicious, high-energy hot dishes and hot rice. For the officers and soldiers of this era, this is a luxury. It is indeed expensive, and even the Qin army can only enjoy it during combat.

But this tempting fragrance is the most painful torture in the world for Qi Jun, who is hungry and has nothing to fill his stomach.

So when the Qin army had enough food and drink and had to sleep and rest, Qi army here was still staring with green eyes, lying on the muddy ground and looking at the half-circular moon in the sky... It was like a half-eat cake, and it must have put a lot of oil and eggs... The officers and soldiers of Qi who were so hungry that they couldn't sleep were considered "painted cakes to satisfy their hunger".

But not sleeping has the benefits of not being able to sleep. When it was dawn, the soldiers of Qi who were hungry and thirsty suddenly found that there was an inconspicuous gap in the west of the Qin army's encirclement. The Qi army was overjoyed, and some bold ones broke through the gap first, and escaped without any damage!

The people of Qi who no longer pursued whether this was a trap set by the Qin people. They lost confidence and sanity and rushed to escape from the gap.
