Chapter 589 Heavy Cavalry
In the initial confrontation, Wuercha just let some small infantrymen confuse the Huan army. Only then did he come up with his real trump card.
On the battlefield.
After the spearmen were defeated, Huan's soldiers faced all heavy cavalry.
The war horse is armored, and the knight on the horse is covered in steel from top to bottom.
Seeing this scene, countless Huan soldiers' eyes widened, and some of them roared, picked up their halberds, and stabbed out.
With a ding sound, the ghost army immediately did not move, and with a casual poke, the spear went from top to bottom, directly piercing Huan Jun's belly.
Ah!? All the soldiers were shocked. Before they could react, the heavy cavalry of the ghost army started to move together.
The rumbling sound made the earth tremble.
After reinstallation, the overall speed seems to be very slow, but in fact it is about the same speed as a person running.
Someone was pierced by a spear. Using the power of the war horse, his speed did not slow down and he was sent flying.
Someone was directly knocked down by the heavy horse. Before he could get up, the horse's hoof trampled his belly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
In an instant, Huan Jun couldn't hold it anymore because he couldn't fight at all!
In panic, countless people screamed, threw away their weapons, and began to run back as hard as they could.
The scene was in chaos. The heavy cavalry of the ghost army ignored everything and advanced in a horizontal line.
Huan's soldiers retreated in droves, just like the ebb of the flood.
But in such a messy situation, how could they possibly run away!
In a corner of the battlefield, as long as someone is knocked down or tripped, the next step is to be trampled by countless heavy cavalry, and directly crushed into a meat pie...
This is an absolute crushing. In many cases, the knights on horseback do not need to take action at all. They just rely on sophisticated heavy equipment and continuous advancement. If they encounter the crowd, they will directly step over it.
The 300,000-strong army was defeated in one fell swoop.
Xiang Ge was dumbfounded!
The deputy general was standing by and shouted anxiously: "Oh, Commander Xiang! The Ghost Army's heavy cavalry was completely beyond our expectations. This battle cannot go on any longer! If we don't retreat, it will be too late!"
"Ah!?" Xiang Ge came back to his senses and suddenly panicked, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Get out! Get out quickly -"
At this time, there is no need for him to give orders at all. If you can't attack others, as soon as they come over, they will just crush them. No one will wait for death, because each one will run faster than the other.
It’s just that the scale of this large-scale battle is too great! The battle line stretches too long. Once the army is defeated, the momentum can be imagined. Huan’s soldiers gathered together, crowded forward and backward, and it was chaotic. Many people could not escape at all.
.
Wu Ercha was even more unreasonable and had the intention of swallowing up 300,000 Huan troops in one breath with his heavy cavalry. He kept giving orders to chase and kill them.
Huan's army ran all the way and was crushed by heavy cavalry. The ground was littered with weapons, battle flags, and trampled corpses.
This battle lasted for several hours. The ghost army chased them from the morning until the afternoon before it came to an end. Thanks to the heavy armor, the horses were weak. Otherwise, Xiang Ge's army of 300,000 would have been difficult to escape.
battlefield.
In the evening, under the protection of all the generals, Huan Jun finally stopped on a dirt road because they couldn't run anymore.
Xiang Ge was the commander, so he was naturally riding a war horse, but he still looked embarrassed.
Looking at the soldiers who were running away with him, they all looked like they were falling apart. They were lying all over the ground, gasping for air.
"Are you coming? Are the ghost army coming?" After stopping, Xiang Ge asked in shock.
"Return to Commander Xiang, the ghost army has withdrawn its troops." The deputy general returned.
Hearing this, Xiang Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief at first, but when he looked at the remaining soldiers and defeated generals around him, he suddenly felt sad again.
I thought that in this battle, I would achieve unrivaled feats, but I didn't expect that I would end up like this.
After closing his eyes deeply, he couldn't help but ask: "Our army has been damaged, have you checked?"
"This..." the deputy general hesitated for a moment: "Many soldiers have been scattered. It will take some time to get them all back. Right now... our army only has tens of thousands of people..."
After Xiang Ge heard this, he couldn't help crying out in sorrow. He knew in his heart that even though the lieutenant general said so, after this battle, his own army of 300,000 people had probably lost nearly 100,000 soldiers at least.
"How can I explain to the king such a huge defeat?"
When the generals around him heard this, they all lowered their heads in silence.
In this battle, Xiang Ge didn't know the military information and didn't even figure out the ghost army's heavy cavalry, so he rushed into a decisive battle, and defeat was inevitable.
After this defeat, given his character, it was obvious that he would not dare to fight the ghost army again.
Inside Guangyuan City.
After the battle, the generals of the ghost army naturally gathered together. Someone said: "What nonsense is the famous general of Zhongyuan? He is not vulnerable to a general!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Urcha looked up and laughed, and said: "This armored heavy cavalry is really useful. With this powerful cavalry, our clan will take over the Central Plains and it will be just around the corner!"
"The general said it, he said it..."
"All of this is beneficial to the general's command..."
People echoed and complimented with smiles.
"Of course!" Urcha was extremely proud and said: "In addition, Xirong and Beidi should have already moved. I will immediately send a letter to His Majesty the King, requesting another increase in troops. This time, we will completely occupy the Central Plains!"
"The general is wise——"
"Ha ha!"
Urcha laughed again, wildly and wantonly.
A few days later, Qinzhou.
"Report~~~~~"
"Your Majesty, General Yang has urgent military information. Xirong has gathered 200,000 troops and is approaching the Qin Pass!"
Xiao Yuan had a gloomy face and said nothing.
But just as the soldiers retreated, another soldier hurried in.
"Report~~~~"
"Your Majesty, the Beidi tribe has gathered a hundred thousand people and is moving frequently to the north..."
"Order Zhao Mu to lead the army and guard the northern gate!"
"promise!"
The military information one after another made all the ministers in the court panic, and they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Don't panic." Xiao Yuan said in a deep voice.
The scene was quiet. Shangguan Wenruo stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, first there was a sudden movement in Xirong, then a large-scale attack by the ghost tribe, and now Beidi took the opportunity to cause chaos. It can be seen that this foreign invasion is probably something they have been preparing for a long time, and they intend to take over the Central Plains."
"I heard that after the ghost army entered the city, they beheaded all the men they saw, young and old, and only kept the women for their sexual pleasure, and then cooked them and killed them for army food. Their humanity was wiped out, and they were no different from demons."
"I am well aware of the evil deeds of the ghost tribe and the internal conflicts within the nation. Civil war will turn into civil war, but no matter what, we must not allow foreign tribes to invade!" Xiao Yuandao.
After hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo understood what he meant, paused, and then said:
Chapter completed!
