Chapter 589: Heavy Cavalry
In the initial confrontation, Urcha just let some small infantry confuse the Huan army first, and at this time, he came up with a real killer weapon.
on the battlefield.
After the spearmen were defeated, the Huan sergeants were faced with all the hoplites.
The horses were in armor, and the knights on the horses were all wrapped in steel.
Looking at this scene, countless Huan sergeants and soldiers widened their eyes, and some people roared, picked up their halberds, and stabbed out.
With a ding, the ghost army didn't move immediately, and even poked it, and the spear stabbed through Huan Jun's belly from top to bottom.
Yes!? All the soldiers were shocked, and before they could react next, the ghost army's heavy cavalry had already started in unison.
The rumbling sound made the earth tremble.
Under heavy loading, it seems to be slow overall, but in fact, it is about the same speed as a person running.
Someone was pierced by a spear, and with the momentum of a war horse, the speed did not decrease, and he flew away.
Someone was directly knocked down by the heavy horse, and before he could get up, the horse's hooves had trampled on his belly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
In just an instant, the Huan army couldn't stand it, because it couldn't be fought at all!
In fright, I don't know how many people screamed, threw away their weapons, and began to run back desperately.
The scene was chaotic, and the ghost army rode in defiance of everything and advanced in unison in a horizontal line.
The sergeant of Huan, like the ebbing tide of the big water, swarmed and retreated.
But how could they run in such a mess situation!
In the corner of the battlefield, as long as someone is knocked down or tripped, the next thing is to be trampled by countless heavy horses and directly crushed into meatloaf......
This is an absolute crushing, and many times, there is no need for the knight on the horse to do it, just with excellent reloading, continuous advancement, and when it touches the crowd, it is directly stepped on.
The army of 300,000 was defeated at once.
Xiang Ge was dumbfounded!
The deputy general next to him shouted urgently: "Oh, Xiang Shuai! The ghost army's heavy cavalry is completely beyond our expectations, and this battle can't be fought again! If you don't retreat, it's too late! ”
"Huh!?" Xiang Ge came back to his senses, and suddenly panicked, shouting at the top of his voice: "Withdraw!" Evacuate"
At this time, there is no need for him to give an order, he can't move people, as long as they come over, they will be crushed directly, who will wait to die, that is faster than the other.
It's just that this large-scale battle is too large! The battle line stretched too long, once the army was defeated, its momentum can be imagined, Huan soldiers and soldiers, gathered together, crowded in front and back, chaotic, many people could not run away at all.
Urcha was even more unforgiving, and he had the intention of swallowing 300,000 Huan troops in one breath with heavy horses, and kept giving orders to chase and kill.
The Huan army ran all the way, was crushed by heavy cavalry, and the ground was full of weapons and battle flags, and corpses trampled to death.
This battle lasted for several hours, and the ghost army chased from the morning to the afternoon, and it was only over, which was due to the reloading, and the war horses were weak, otherwise, it would be difficult for Xiang Ge's 300,000 troops to escape from the battlefield.
In the evening, under the escort of the generals, the Huan army finally stopped on a dirt road, because they really couldn't run.
Xiang Ge was the head coach, so he was naturally riding a war horse, but he still looked embarrassed.
Looking at the soldiers who fled with him, they were all scattered, lying on all sides of the ground, gasping for breath.
"Did you chase it? Is the ghost army chasing you? After stopping, Xiang Ge asked in shock.
"Back to Xiang Shuai, the ghost army has withdrawn its troops." The lieutenant returned.
When Xiang Ge heard this, he first breathed a sigh of relief, but then when he looked at the remnants of the defeated soldiers around him, he suddenly felt sad in his heart.
I thought that in this battle, I would definitely establish a peerless feat, but I didn't expect it to end up like this.
After closing his eyes deeply, he couldn't help but ask: "Our army is damaged, has it been checked?" ”
"This ......" The adjutant general hesitated: "Many soldiers have been scattered, and all of them will come back, it will take a certain amount of time, now...... At the moment, our army has only tens of thousands......"
After hearing this, Xiang Ge couldn't help but cry out in grief, he knew in his heart that although the deputy general said so, after this battle, his own army of 300,000 was probably lost by nearly 100,000.
"Such a big defeat, how can I explain to the king!"
When the surrounding generals heard the words, they all lowered their heads silently.
In this battle, Xiang Ge didn't know the military information, and he didn't even find out the ghost army's heavy cavalry, so he hastily fought a decisive battle, and defeat was inevitable.
And after this defeat, with his character, obviously, he will not dare to fight with the ghost army again.
Inside Guangyuan City.
After the battle, the generals of the ghost army naturally gathered together, and someone said: "What kind of bullshit is that the famous generals are not vulnerable in the face of generals!" ”
"Hahahaha"
Urcha laughed on his back and said: "This iron-armored heavy cavalry is really easy to use, with this powerful cavalry, our clan will enter the Central Plains, just around the corner!" ”
"That's what the general said, yes......"
"All of this is in the general's command......"
People chimed in, smiling and complimenting.
"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, asking for another increase in troops, this time, completely occupy the Central Plains!" ”
"The Wise General"
"Haha!"
Urcha laughed again, insolently and wantonly.
A few days later, Qinzhou.
"Newspaper"
"Your Majesty, General Yang's urgent military situation, Xirong has gathered 200,000 troops, and it is approaching Qin Pass!"
Xiao Yuan had a gloomy face and did not speak.
But as soon as the soldier retreated, another soldier hurried in.
"Newspaper"
"The Great King, the Beidi tribe, gathering 100,000 people, is frequently mobilizing ...... to the north"
"Order Zhao Mu to lead the army and guard the northern gate!"
"No!"
The military situation made the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty a little panicked, and they couldn't help but turn their heads and ears.
"Don't panic." Xiao Yuan said in a deep voice.
The scene was quiet, Shangguan Wenruo stood up after him, and arched his hand and said:
"Great King, first Xirong moved, then the ghost clan attacked, and now Beidi has taken the opportunity to make trouble, so it can be seen that this foreign invasion is probably something they have been preparing for a long time, and it is intended to enter the Central Plains."
"I heard that after the ghost army entered the city, they saw that all the men were beheaded, and all the old and young were killed, leaving only the women for their sexual pleasure, and then cooking and killing them to fill the army food, and human nature was annihilated, no different from the devil."
"The evil deeds of the ghost clan, this king knows very well that the internal contradictions of the nation, civil war is civil war, but no matter what, foreign races must not be allowed to invade!" Xiao Yuandao.
Hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo understood what he meant, and after a pause, he said:
"It's just that our country is now facing the containment of Xirong and Beidi, if the king wants to send troops, he must first retreat to Beidi, and there is one person, who is powerful in the north, and wants to suppress the Rongdi tribe, he must not ......"
