A Gugan listened to the advice of his generals.

Although he was burning with rage, he wanted to rush into the canyon and tear Xia He into pieces.

But he calmed down.

He understood that the 50,000 troops he led must not be delayed here.

Especially since they have tens of thousands of cavalrymen. If they charge with all their strength, even if Xia He has an ambush, it can only cause some casualties at most and will not be able to stop them at all.

"Third Prince, these Qin insects only have a few thousand people. If we charge at them with all our strength, they won't be able to stop us!"

A general whispered,

"Our target is the main force of the Qin army that fled south. As long as we wipe them out, their morale will be greatly boosted. Then we can go back and deal with this group of people. It will be like catching a turtle in a jar!"

Although the backbone is young and does not have sufficient practical experience, his greatest advantage is that he listens to advice.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and nodded:

"You're right. We can't be held back here by a few thousand Qin insects. Pass the order down, and the whole army is ready to march. At daybreak, the light cavalry will lead the way, followed by the heavy cavalry, and march quickly through the canyon!"

On the other side, Xia He had already run back to the canyon and looked back at the movement in the barbarian army camp from afar.

"Isn't this Ah Gu Gan a fool? Why didn't he fall for it?"

He personally led people to provoke, not only to anger A Gugan, but also to find out the strength of the barbarian army.

Seeing it with my own eyes, the tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry were truly terrifying.

If they were allowed to cross the canyon and attack the main force of the Qin army fleeing south, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Twenty thousand light cavalry, not to mention seven thousand heavy cavalry!"

With such a force, if a war were to begin on the plains, it could almost sweep away any of the Qin's main elite forces!

"The barbarians are indeed not to be underestimated!"

Who could have expected that this trip to Youzhou was originally just to quell a rebellion.

But after all this time, we are now fighting against the main force of the barbarians again?

And once they lose, Youzhou will be captured, and the Hexi Corridor will be completely lost in no time!

…

As the sky gradually brightened, trumpets sounded in the barbarian camp, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen were ready to go.

Ah Gu Gan rode on his horse and waved his hand to give the order:

"All troops, march quickly through the canyon!"

The barbarian cavalry poured into the canyon like a tide, the sound of horse hooves shook the earth and raised a cloud of dust.

An ambush had been set up on this side of the canyon, and arrows were raining down.

Although the barbarian cavalry suffered heavy casualties, they did not hesitate this time and kept charging forward.

A Gugan also sent a large number of soldiers to search the mountains, trying to eliminate the ambushed Qin army.

'Whoosh whoosh! '

Countless arrows flew across the sky, screams lingered all around, and countless flowers of blood splattered, dyeing the earth and rocks red.

The barbarian generals saw that the enemy was fighting and retreating, and their offensive gradually weakened, and was even less fierce than yesterday.

I couldn't help but be overjoyed:

"Haha, the Qin bugs are just that bad! Their ambush has been broken up by us!"

Soon, the barbarian cavalry rushed to the mouth of the canyon.

As long as they cross the high slope ahead, they can rush out of the canyon and attack the main force of the Qin army fleeing south.

The cavalrymen were extremely excited, their faces full of joy, and they growled and urged their horses to speed up.

"My men, hurry up and charge over there!"

However, just as they had crossed the high slope.

The scene before them made their faces change drastically in an instant - a series of pits made by chevaux de frise appeared on the open ground ahead!

Although these pits look rough and simple, they were obviously dug temporarily.

But for cavalry charging at high speed, it is a deadly trap!

"Oh no! There's a trap!"

The light cavalrymen at the front barely managed to hold the reins.

But the heavy cavalry behind were unable to stop in time due to inertia.

The horses neighed, the cavalry screamed, and the heavy cavalry fell into the pit with their horses. The scene was in chaos.

"Don't panic! This hole isn't deep!"

If it is to be a qualified chevaux de frise pit, it must not only be dug more than three or four meters deep, but also be filled with sharp wooden thorns.

But time was running out, and the Qin people obviously just dug a few holes roughly, thinking that this could stop them?

"Don't be afraid, rush forward!"

But at this moment, several figures suddenly emerged from the pit, led by Niu Ben.

He held the saber in his hand and could not speak, but a low growl came from his throat and he raised the saber high!

More than a thousand Qin soldiers jumped out of the pit, each holding a saber in hand, and chopped at the legs of the barbarian heavy cavalry.

Although the barbarian army's heavy cavalry were wearing heavy armor and were invulnerable to swords and spears, the horses' legs were completely unprotected.

Niu Ben was born with supernatural power and wielded his long sword.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of heavy cavalry fell off their horses, their horses died tragically, and the cavalry were crushed and unable to move.

"What!?"

The barbarian cavalry suddenly fell into chaos and their formation completely collapsed.

They never imagined that this group of Qin insects were so bold that they dared to ambush in the pit!

After all, on the plains, the Northern Barbarian Heavy Cavalry is almost invincible!

Just one charge and even horse hooves can crush them into meat paste!

A Gugan saw this scene from afar, his face turned pale, his eyes turned red, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.

The thousand-man generals behind him who were originally clamoring could no longer laugh at this moment!

His face looked uglier than if he had eaten shit! His eyes were full of horror.

A Gugan's heart was bleeding - although the grassland cavalry was brave and good at fighting, the cost of horses, weapons and armor was extremely high.

Especially the heavy cavalry, which is enough to bankrupt a middle or lower-level tribe!

And now, in just a short moment, hundreds of heavy cavalrymen died tragically. How could he not be heartbroken?

"Third Prince, let's...let's retreat!"

A general advised in a low voice, with a tremor in his voice.
