The Northern Hu archers attempted to charge forward, close the distance, and then fire arrows to kill, but how could they possibly advance smoothly over such a short distance of a few hundred meters?
The Qin warriors were physically strong, and every arrow they fired was fast and powerful!
The mere 100 meters between 400 and 300 meters is like an insurmountable chasm!
With each step forward, countless cavalrymen were killed by arrows, blood flowed everywhere, and the corpses of horses lay in the middle of the road, making the journey even more difficult.
Seeing the archers in front of him being shot down one after another, Tu Biyan was furious and almost burst out of his chest!
But at this point in the battle, there was no turning back!
Retreat is absolutely impossible. We have the superior strength of our troops, several times more than theirs. As long as we charge to the enemy's front, they will be unable to draw their bows and shoot arrows!
Tu Biyan was confident that as long as he fought the enemy head-on, he could definitely defeat them!
His soldiers had been riding horses since childhood and had fought on horseback for many years, possessing rich combat experience. He did not believe that Qin Ze could defeat him on the front lines!
Tu Biyan let out a loud shout:
"Charge forward with all your might! Break into their lines!"
On the battlefield, military orders are paramount. Even when faced with countless arrows, the Northern Hu cavalry could only charge forward at the cost of their lives. Once they broke through this defensive line, it would be their advantage!
"Kill! Kill!"
The Northern Hu cavalry charged forward like a tidal wave, heedless of everything. Qin Ze watched coldly, his face expressionless.
This is exactly the situation he wanted to see!
The Northern Hu army is numerous, and we must wear them down before the battles can proceed smoothly!
Although these 10,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and 5,000 Qin elite soldiers are quite powerful and could easily defeat the Northern Hu cavalry on the front lines, Qin Ze does not want to sacrifice them casually!
At this moment, the Qin soldiers' bows and arrows were almost depleted with each volley of fire.
Finally, when the Bei Hu troops had charged to within about 100 meters, all the arrows were fired.
Although the arrows were exhausted, the battle was remarkably successful! The ten thousand archers of the Northern Hu who were at the forefront of the attack were almost wiped out after several rounds of arrow rain.
Many more soldiers were wounded and incapacitated!
Seeing that the Hu cavalry were about to charge forward, Qin Ze gave the order:
"Wu Yi, it's time for you to prove yourself! Send out the troops!"
Before hearing Qin Ze's words, Wu Yi's face lit up with joy. He was shocked by the strength of these five thousand archers!
It's simply unbelievable that they managed to shoot these Northern Hu cavalrymen off their horses from a distance of 400 meters!
Judging from this, the fighting power of this army is simply terrifying!
Upon hearing Qin Ze's order, his expression immediately changed, but he dared not disobey. After all, this was a battle between two armies, and only if his side won would he have a chance to survive!
The Northern Hu have been thoroughly enraged and there is absolutely no room for maneuver. The only option is to fight them to the death!
He gritted his teeth and immediately led his 1,500 soldiers in a charge!
Qin Ze's calm face concealed an extremely cold and piercing gaze!
Once the battle begins, it will be a bloody fight, a clash of swords and spears!
However, by making reasonable use of troops in battle, casualties can be minimized. He immediately ordered his 10,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to attack the Hu cavalry from the left and right flanks.
He himself led five thousand Qin elite soldiers, who had put down their bows and arrows and put on long halberds, to confront the Northern Hu army head-on!
"kill!"
The shouts of battle were deafening, and the strong stench of blood permeated the entire grassland as the autumn wind blew.
The knee-high weeds were now stained crimson with blood.
Wu Yi's 1,500 soldiers were the first to engage in fierce battle with the cavalrymen who had been wounded by arrows!
These cavalrymen were the same troops that Lang Yan had led earlier. They were the vanguard of the Northern Hu and had been shot by countless arrows. At this moment, almost everyone was wounded and their fighting strength was greatly reduced!
Therefore, when Wu Yi first engaged them in battle, he even had a slight advantage.
But soon, the Northern Hu cavalry that arrived later began to gain the upper hand. These Hu horses were all skilled riders and extremely adept at mounted combat. When they discovered that the vanguard they were fighting was so weak, they were overjoyed.
"Kill them! They're not good at fighting on horseback! Kill them!"
"Don't let a single one escape! Kill!"
The Northern Hu cavalrymen were like they'd been injected with chicken blood, veins bulging on their necks, their faces contorted with rage as they charged toward Wu Yi's troops!
Wu Yi was terrified. He had easily killed the wounded soldiers, but how could he possibly withstand the menacing Northern Hu soldiers?
"General! I can't hold on much longer!" Wu Yi cried out in panic!
As soon as he opened his mouth, a Northern Hu cavalryman suddenly charged towards him, his spear already thrusting towards him!
Wu Yi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly dodged to the side, but this action caused one of the soldiers behind him to be stabbed to death by a spear!
Although these were his own troops, Wu Yi couldn't care less about that at this moment; on the battlefield, survival was the most important thing!
Just as he was dodging around, a Northern Hu soldier with a broken arrow stuck in his arm charged over with a shout. Unlike the other Northern Hu soldiers, he was wielding a long sword!
His face was flushed red with rage!
This man was none other than Lang Yan, the deputy general leading the archers!
Although Lang Yan was lucky enough to survive the hail of arrows, he was hit in the waist and arm by an arrow, which made him furious!
