Chapter 168 Father and son, overlap in different dimensions!

The three thousand cavalrymen turned their horses again, and their deafening shouts resounded through the sky.

From the gate of Hangu Pass, five hundred Great Snow Dragon Riders rushed out first, followed by eight hundred.

Their goal was to completely destroy Xiang Yu's three thousand cavalry.

As for Xiang Yu himself, they didn't care. Despite this, the First Emperor's heart was bleeding and in pain.

After all, there were a total of 1,300 Great Snow Dragon Riders!

It would be a waste of such elite troops if they did not have heavy armor!

With more than a thousand light cavalrymen against the three thousand enemy cavalrymen, although he knew that the speed of the dragon colts was enough to catch up, casualties were inevitable as they had lost the protection of heavy armor.

The First Emperor was well aware of the value of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry charge tactics. Just as Huo Qubing said, every loss of a horse is an irreparable loss, and every life is extremely precious!

Exchanging the lives of these Great Snow Dragon Riders for Xiang Yu's personal guards is an unprofitable decision in any case.

At this moment, deep in his heart, he denounced Xiao Shisan and Han Xin's rash behavior. They did not cherish this precious army at all!
For such a large Snow Dragon Rider, even if he had to stay put in the rain, he shouldn't have changed into light armor and risked his life in a fight!

Even if it meant sacrificing the 20,000 new recruits, the First Emperor thought it was worth it as long as he could preserve the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and annihilate the 3,000 cavalry on the opposite side in one fell swoop.

The Great Snow Dragon Riders are too precious, and the enemy named Xiang Yu is so powerful. Now that they have lost their heavy armor, even if the First Emperor and Dahei join forces, they may find it difficult to resist.

In this battle, they were in the rear and could not directly confront Xiang Yu's dominant power.

Therefore, the five hundred riders in front were destined to become souls killed by Xiang Yu's sword.

However, the First Emperor was not a commander and he was powerless and could only follow the charge.

On the city wall of Hangu Pass, Ying Heng, Han Xin, Meng Yi and others watched the battle situation nervously, while Wang Ben, Wang Li, Huo Qubing, Qinglong and others led their teams to carry out their tasks.

So far, everything is going well.

In the distance, Wang Ben and Wang Li's two armies totaling 40,000 troops attacked the 20,000 Chu troops from the flank. At this moment, it seemed that they had a chance to catch the other side off guard.

The father and son of the Wang family had suffered a series of defeats recently, and the soldiers were holding back their anger. This time, Xiang Yu's three thousand personal guards were trapped at Hangu Pass, which was a perfect opportunity for them to vent their anger.

"The Chu army indeed underestimated us. Ying Heng, he only led more than 20,000 soldiers to attack the city this time."

"You simply ignore the might of the lion of Qin."

"Then let them remember this moment, a lesson that will be engraved in their minds forever!"

While Ying Heng was talking with Han Xin, he looked calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.

The Thirteenth Young Master knew the overall situation very well, but he did not expect that his father, the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was wearing white armor, riding a snow dragon cavalry, charging at their feet.

If you could look down from the sky and pass through numerous obstacles, you would see Ying Heng standing on the city wall of Hangu Pass, and under the wall is the gate hole.

Inside the gate tunnel, there was a silver-armored knight riding a giant snow dragon. It was Ying Zheng.

This father and son meet at the intersection of history, the intersection of longitude and latitude.

Under their feet, 1,300 Great Snow Dragon Riders transformed into two giant silver dragons, galloping out from the formation of 20,000 infantrymen and attacking Xiang Yu's army directly.

The 20,000 infantrymen also received the order and rushed forward with all their might.

The silver torrent of 1,300 cavalrymen concealed themselves among the infantry and advanced steadily.

A mile away, Xiang Yu and others reined in their horses and gradually accelerated their march towards the main army.

Unlike infantry, cavalry's strong point is mobility. Whether fighting or retreating, they will not wait foolishly for the enemy to attack, as that would be tantamount to seeking death.

Xiang Yu's target on this trip was not the 20,000 new recruits of the Qin army.

In Xiang Yu's eyes, those frightened recruits were no different from 20,000 targets that he could take away at any time, and no one could stop him from leaving. His real target was the more than 1,000 Snow Dragon Riders that rushed out of the infantry formation, which was the biggest concern of the Chu army.

As long as this cavalry is eliminated at all costs, the threat posed by the Qin army to Xiang Yu will be eliminated.

Da da da.
Xiang Yu rode his horse forward and charged first, with the tip of his Overlord spear pointed directly at the Great Snow Dragon Riders, who were galloping out from the infantry formation.

However, upon seeing this, Han Xin adjusted his formation instantly.

The original plan was that if Xiang Yu returned to rescue the 20,000 troops, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry would pursue him with all their might and strive to destroy the enemy's manpower.

But Han Xin did not expect that Xiang Yu was so arrogant. Facing the Snow Dragon Cavalry mixed in with 20,000 infantry, he did not run away, but rushed straight towards them!

During these days of confrontation between Qin and Chu, how much confidence did the Wang father and son give to Xiang Yu?

Did he think he was leading three thousand Snow Dragon Riders?
How dare you charge back with 20,000 infantrymen?

Trying to destroy more than a thousand enemy cavalry under the cover of 20,000 infantry?
Han Xin witnessed this scene, sneered, and waved the command flag in his hand twice quickly!
Two special instructions were conveyed instantly.

In an instant, the speed of the Snow Dragon Riders dropped sharply!

But the 20,000 infantrymen suddenly accelerated their advance.

Originally, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry should have quickly broken through the infantry line and engaged the enemy cavalry.

Now, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and 20,000 infantrymen were advancing in lockstep like a torrent, their pace only slightly faster than that of the soldiers on foot, as if they were racing against time.

Under such a charging posture, when the two sides come into close combat, the Great Snow Dragon Riders will undoubtedly be the first to crash into the enemy formation and entangle the opponent like a chain.

Immediately afterwards, the infantry corps will surge in like a tide.

Han Xin decisively adjusted his formation based on the ever-changing situation on the battlefield and made the decision without even reporting to the Thirteenth Young Master.

Ying Heng witnessed all this, nodded secretly, and admired Han Xin's wisdom.

So what if you have never been on the battlefield?
What’s wrong with stepping into the battlefield for the first time?

The Soldier God's intuition about battle and grasp of opportunities seem to be innate talents!

Below, the First Emperor felt the impact of the change in formation and felt quietly relieved.

If the Great Snow Dragon Riders hide in the infantry formation, their losses will be greatly reduced in a cavalry duel.

If we can take this opportunity to annihilate the enemy cavalry in one fell swoop, the First Emperor will certainly accept it with pleasure!

At this moment, the First Emperor had a preliminary understanding of Han Xin's abilities. He was a talented man, worthy of being made a general!

On the opposite side, Xiang Yu saw through the Qin army's intentions, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly understood the opponent's strategy, luring them deep into the infantry formation and trapped them.

However, Xiang Yu was not stupid. He would not give in completely, because even if he could defeat the Snow Dragon Riders, he would not be able to completely destroy them.

No one in his cavalry team, except himself, could escape unscathed.

The cost would be too heavy.

Xiang Yu then adjusted the formation again, stretching the cavalry into two winding long snakes and slowing down their progress.

This meant that they were ready to turn and escape from the encirclement of enemy infantry at any time.

Thus, the initiative returned to Xiang Yu again.

If your great Snow Dragon Cavalry hides in the infantry formation and dares not show up, I will turn back to rescue my 20,000 infantry.

Your plan to use these 3,000 cavalry as bait is doomed to fail.
