In the drizzle, Jiang Shangyan narrowed her eyes and a large number of Chu army formations appeared in front of her. Without the Fire Phoenix Army, they all came newly formed troops of Chu State. Eight military formations, infantry with more than 20,000 people.

Jiang Shangyan still has more than 8,000 cavalry, and facing more than 20,000 infantry, it seems that he is not at a disadvantage, but Jiang Shangyan does not dare to underestimate the enemy in front of him at all.

The State of Chu is located in the south and there are not many places suitable for raising horses, so the cavalry is not a branch that the State of Chu is very good at. It is only in the Fire Phoenix Army that it has equipped a large number of cavalry. The Chu team, without more cavalry, has put a lot of effort into the infantry. As a former senior general of the State of Chu, Jiang Shangyan knew very well that the Chu infantrymen were facing countless tactics when facing cavalry.

He was not familiar with the flags of the Chu army generals in front of him, but when he saw the formation of the Chu army infantry in front of him, Jiang Shangyan knew that the opponent was definitely not a good man. The eight military formations were arranged in succession, supporting each other and covering each other. The opponent's abacus was very clear, that was, to use these military formations to consume the speed of the cavalry and then entangle them together.

If he was facing an experienced army like the previous eastern border army, Jiang Shangyan would immediately turn around without saying a word. This will forcefully attack the Chu army's tight defense formation, even if he wins, he will pay a heavy price and it is meaningless. But today, he will face the newly formed new army, and he will definitely lack experience, and secondly, he will have no way to retreat. If he is surrounded by a large number of Chu army troops, his cavalry will play a role smaller and smaller. Nearly 8,000 cavalry requires a large combat space.

Only one battle!

Jiang Shangyan raised the two swords in his hand.

Behind him, more than 8,000 cavalry shouted and raised the spears in their hands.

Jiang Shangyan waved his right knife forward with force, and a team of thousands of people on his right hand roared angrily. Under the leadership of a captain, he rode his horse out of the line and slowly ran forward.

In the opposite Chu army, the low sound of snare drums began to ring.

The horses were getting faster and faster, and the cavalry began to gradually lower their bodies.

The sound of the war drums of the Chu army became increasingly dense.

The first thing to ring were strong crossbows, coming through the air with a sharp roar.

More than a thousand cavalry were like frightened birds, and the formation scattered, and most of the powerful crossbows fell in the air and flew forward in the air until their strength was exhausted. Then they fell to the ground. Some cavalry were also very unlucky on the route of the powerful crossbow flight. They were hit by the powerful crossbow arrows and were hit by the powerful crossbow. Generally, half of their bodies would disappear.

The powerful crossbow seems fierce, but the damage it causes is actually very limited. His greatest ability is to cause panic and delay the opponent's horse speed, but it generally does not have much effect on experienced cavalry. The cavalry of Jiang Shangyan is exactly the kind of team with extremely rich combat experience. As soon as the first wave of powerful crossbows passed, their dispersed formation quickly moved closer together, and even the war horses that had lost their master naturally moved closer to the large group of people.

The cavalry's speed was not affected at all and was still accelerating forward.

With a buzzing sound, the vast feather arrows flew into the sky, then turned down, covering the sky above the rushing cavalry. This time the cavalry did not disperse, nor did they move any other things. They just laid their bodies on the horse, and let the feather arrows fall down, and the jingling sounds were endless. The feather arrows shot on the armor, some bounced away, and some were inserted on the armor. Many cavalrymen inserted dozens of feather arrows, but they still did not affect their charge at all.

Such intensive shooting will cause much more damage to the cavalry than the powerful crossbows, because the cavalry's protection is not bad, but the war horses will not have such good protection. Their bodies are covered with a layer of cowhide. When the war horses get arrows, some suddenly become crazy and rush forward and leave the formation. Some are hit by the vital force and fall immediately. When they fall off the horse in such a charge, most of the knights have only one fate, that is, death, either trampled by their comrades, or they die from a broken bone. Only those who are lucky enough to survive can survive by chance.

The crazy war horses rushed forward without any restraints from the knights, and after the efforts of the horses were ineffective, the knights simply allowed the war horses to charge forward and ran away in front of the enemy's neat army. What they were going to face was the enemy's spear lineup, and it was only a matter of time before death.

At this time, the only thing they could do was to use their own death to exchange for the comrades behind to break the formation.

Seeing that dozens of cavalry who launched the first wave of charge had already fallen on the road of charge, Jiang Shangyan did not even frown. This was just the beginning. In fact, such an impact, the first wave of cavalry had always been the most casualties.

His right knife pointed forward again, and the first thousand-man team jumped out of the team.

After the second thousand-man sword left about a hundred steps, Jiang Shangyan's left and right swords were lifted up at the same time, and two thousand-man teams left the formation, one left and one right, and surrounded the left and right wings.

The first two cavalry were the main force of the Yan breaking formation on the Jiang Shangyan, while the latter two cavalry were to restrain other formations of the Chu army.

The first team of cavalry was quite close to the Chu army's army formation. The knights on the horse could even see the faces of the Chu army soldiers who seemed a little distorted and deformed because of their nervousness after the high shield. The Chu army in front was twisting their bodies uneasy, but they could not retreat because behind them, the other Chu soldiers were tightly close to their bodies.

For the cavalry, when they rushed to this speed, they had no way out, could not stop or retreat, and of course they could not turn to the left and right wings. If they forced themselves to turn, the hooves of the war horse would be ruthlessly broken under such torque.

The knight screamed, and the spurs knocked on the belly of the war horse and pushed the reins hard. The war horse jumped high and crashed towards the shield array more than one person in front and the dense spears.

The rumbling sound continued to come.

Some war horses did not jump up and directly hit the shield. The knight was thrown up, flew over the shield, and fell towards the gun forest. They tried their best to scoop the gun in their hands, hoping to poke to death and injure even an enemy before they died.

The shield collapsed, and the soldier pressed against the shield broke his tendons and his mouth was spurted with blood. A thousand pounds of war horses rushed in at such a speed, which was not something that humans could stop.

In a moment, people were on their backs and horses were overturned, and the shield formation and gun forest appeared in an instant, and almost none of the cavalry charged in front survived.

When the gap just appeared, the second row of cavalry had rushed over and continued to advance along the gap, constantly expanding the gap. When the third row of cavalry rushed up, the first formation of the Chu army had been drilled through.

The 1,000 cavalry that had penetrated the first military formation had lost nearly 300 cavalry at this time, but more importantly, they had lost their speed at this time. The second military formation of the Chu army was slowly pressing forward, causing them to lose the time and space to launch another charge.

Such situations were naturally expected by the cavalry of the Jiang tribe. After drilling through the first military formation, they no longer moved forward, but rushed to both sides, one left and one right, giving up space for charge for the subsequent cavalry.

At this time, the second thousand-person team sent by Jiang Shangyan rushed up as quickly as possible. The first army of the Chu army, which had been broken through and disrupted, could no longer hinder them. They accelerated along the gap opened by the first thousand-person team and rushed towards the second army of the Chu army.

The first cavalry began to circle around the first army formation, and the equipped cavalry crossbows finally played a role at this time. Crossbow arrows shot out from the cavalry's hands, shooting the Chu army, who had lost the cover of the big shield, to the ground one by one. At this time, they had plenty of time. After shooting the crossbow arrows, they held the crossbow arrows onto a specially-made hook on the saddle, took out a crossbow arrow from one side, re-instantly, and shot again.

The damage caused by infantry to the cavalry is mainly concentrated at the moment of rushing to the formation. Once the infantry formation is dispersed, in front of the cavalry, they immediately become an extremely weak side, especially when the cavalry can still run on horseback.

The disrupted Chu infantry gathered together with the dense sound of war drums. When they began to form a much smaller military formation than before, the first wave of more than 700 cavalry had opened up and gathered again. With the shouts, they ran away along the gap of the second Chu army formation that the second thousand-person team rushed out.

At this time, another thousand-man cavalry from the Yan River was rushing out from the waves of the original formation.

Just like wave after wave of wild waves, the six thousand-man teams of the eight thousand cavalry of Jiang Shangyan were not tied, and the waves rose again and continued to rush forward. Every time a military formation was broken, they began to gather again and handed over the task of rushing to the next military formation to their comrades behind.

The Chu army arranged the military formations on the left and right wings, but they did not dare to move rashly at this moment, because moving represents the scattering of the military formations. The two thousand-person cavalry on both sides of You Ge were waiting for such an opportunity.

As Jiang Shangyan expected, although the Chu army on the opposite side had the courage to fight and had the determination not to fear death, they obviously lacked enough experience, which gave Jiang Shangyan plenty of time to break the formation. Whenever a military formation was broken, it took too long for them to regroup, which gave the Ming army a large number of opportunities to kill them. In fact, the Ming army is not willing to get too entangled with them now, because there are several military formations in front of them. Once the remaining military formations cannot be broken, and in their rear, the Chu army will gather again, which is too difficult for them.

But it is obvious that this Chu army cannot meet such high requirements in terms of ability.
