Chapter 580: Black Cavalry rushes into battle and defeats the enemy in the first battle
"Crunch..."
The heavy gate opened, and then the rumble of footsteps echoed. The scouts on the mounds outside the city looked at the scene at the city gate, and they all showed frightened faces.
After the endless mounds, there are actually not many remaining scouts.
If someone were to observe from high altitude, they would probably find that several broken arms and limbs would appear from time to time behind these mounds.
The two elite battalions of Fei Lang and Fei Leopard were personally broken into pieces to serve as scouts. After these elite battalion soldiers, who were born as the best scouts, formed a small group, they were no longer as capable as those lone scouts.
Competitive.
Moreover, those who can serve as scouts are not only soldiers, but also martial arts warriors.
Although these Jianghu warriors are not as professional as scouts, and if they are not careful, they may be tricked to death by the opponent's scouts, but firstly, they are large in number, and secondly, they are relatively stronger.
Thirdly, many people have some unique skills.
Moreover, there are endless masters among the warriors in the martial arts world. There are countless innate-level masters participating. Even the master-level masters can find many. The Central Plains Alliance Army and Xirong combined have even more than one celestial-level master who is used as a scout.
Count.
It sounds like an extremely luxurious thing for a Celestial-level master to be used as a scout, but in such a large-scale war, it is actually the case!
The Xirong scouts who luckily survived because their hiding skills were stronger, or because they were seriously injured but managed to pretend to be dead, all of them had their eyes widened at this time.
I saw the black figures pouring in one after another, but the faces of the soldiers were flashing with crazy bloodthirsty looks, which made people feel chilly. Especially the fear in their hearts made them dodge the black army in the distance.
's eyes.
How terrifying! Those pairs of red eyes revealed only deep bloodthirsty and ferocious ferocity, without any fear, only vented anger.
After seeing this scene, these scattered remaining Xirong scouts even had a lot of goosebumps all over their bodies, looking at the scene in front of them in horror.
What on earth had this army experienced, and why did each one of them become so terrifying, especially those pairs of bloodthirsty and ferocious eyes, which were as horrifying as if they crawled out of hell.
The cultures of the two sides are fundamentally different. This kind of bloodthirsty spirit that arouses the will to die is not common among Xirong.
Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses were divided into three groups to outflank the shallow beach. Wang Yu led the black cavalry in the lead and acted as a vanguard along the assigned road, advancing all the way.
After the Black Cavalry, the other two armies that were regarded as vanguards also embarked on the remaining two routes after their respective passionate oaths.
After that, countless war horses and rumbling chariots came out of Wuyuan City. This was the most elite force of the Central Plains Allied Forces and the main force that attacked the shallow beach battlefield.
In order to ensure that they can keep up with the forward speed and prevent the battle line from being stretched due to the speed difference between the infantry and cavalry, and to maximize the chance of catching Daxi Rong off guard, the main force of the cavalry naturally rides on horseback, but all the infantry are also caught by surprise.
He was transported into a chariot, using the chariot as a substitute for leg strength.
For this battle, the Central Plains Allied Forces mobilized all the tanks that could be mobilized, and even temporarily pulled over some grain trucks to make up the number.
Perhaps everyone hesitated before making this decision, and could not easily nod without knowing the full plan.
But since you have already nodded and the matter is settled, you must go all out. Once you hesitate and fall into the enemy's siege, it will not be just one of them who will be seriously injured, but everyone.
"Report! There is a cavalry coming from the direction of our headquarters! We only have 15 miles left!"
Naturally, the road leading to the shallow soil beach cannot be unobstructed. There are many Xirong troops stationed in many places. If the Central Plains Allied Forces want to directly attack the shallow soil beach, the first thing they have to do is to break through these obstacles along the way.
"Where are the scouts of our army? What are they doing for food? Why is there news that the enemy is approaching fifteen miles away?" the commander of this battalion said with a slightly angry expression.
The normal requirement for scouts is that if the enemy is approaching 30 miles or even 50 miles away, the news must be sent back.
If you are approached within 15 miles, this is already a very dangerous distance. The infantry is okay, but if it is cavalry, especially the light cavalry, which is best at speed, it does not necessarily take long to kill them!
In particular, it takes time for the scouts to send back the news after discovering the enemy. When they saw it, it was 15 miles away, but when the news arrived, it was not necessarily 15 miles away.
During this period, they may not be able to fully organize their troops and make effective and complete defense preparations!
Of course, although this general is not a famous general in the world, at least he is not a mediocre general. He may not be as good as his superiors, but he is more than worthy of his inferiors.
He also knew that this was not the time to care about these things, so after a simple curse, the first thing he ordered was the colonels under his command to gather all the soldiers and horses in the camp and prepare a defensive formation on the spot.
Prepare.
But the thing that worried the general the most happened. Before all the soldiers under his command were in the most perfect fighting posture, and the formation was barely put together but not yet stable, the front of the Black Cavalry was already there.
Arrived first.
Wang Yu rode his horse in front of thousands of troops. Seeing the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, his voice was majestic, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "Shoot!"
After giving the order, a hail of arrows suddenly floated out from behind.
In the process of charging, the black cavalry soldiers had already loaded their crossbows in advance, and the crossbow bolts were glowing with cold light and could roar towards the enemy's chest at any time.
At the same time, after Wang Yu, who was charging forward, saw the large square formation formed by the Xirong soldiers and horses, he secretly thought that he was lucky enough not to be locked down by the opponent, and there was still an opportunity at this time.
This compact phalanx, which is similar to the Macedonian phalanx, although its flexibility is incomparable, is blocked on such an important road and cannot be bypassed. It will definitely not be pleasant to hit it head-on.
Don’t think that the Macedonian Phalanx is just a bunch of spearmen in your impression. In fact, although they are the main body of the Phalanx, they are by no means the only type of soldiers. In the Phalanx, the largest number of standing soldiers carry spears.
The light infantry carried shorter spears and shields, and auxiliary soldiers whose main weapons were javelins, bows and arrows and slings were also interspersed among them, and there were even more cavalry as cover around them.
"cast!"
With another command, the spear-throwing began to show his majesty!
This is the most commonly used tactic when the black cavalry rushes into battle. Before the two sides get close, various long-range firepower is launched in sequence, which not only weakens the enemy's strength, but also disrupts the enemy's position and creates opportunities.
