Chapter 165: Divine Machine

"The few aerial spies they sent at dawn are now in different places. If the time and place are not good today, what else can you rely on to win?" Lu Li also said on the side, and after speaking, he looked at the head hanging on the flagpole on the side.

"It's just a rabble, and the combat power is greatly reduced, and those big tribes are the hard bones. Lu Fan also rarely smiled.

Until dawn, this subsequent cavalry alliance failed to break through the defenses of Lu Fan's army, because Lu Fan's army occupied the position, and those horse-repellent battle formations enveloped the army like iron barrels, preventing the enemy's cavalry from the charge.

When the first rays of sunlight fell on the steppe, the war drums beat, and the army quickly spread out to the sides, closing in on the steppe cavalry below the hill.

Seeing this formation, the generals of the cavalry alliance on the steppe smiled, and it was inevitable that anyone would be in a good mood when they saw the enemy kill themselves.

Originally, in the steppe, the cavalry was the absolute master, and it only took a few sprints to dash the infantry.

But Lu Fan had already erected the horse rejection stake, and the giant shield spear lined up in formation and waited for the arrival of the enemy.

Although the cavalry already had an advantage, they could not break through Lu Fan's army formation for a while, and after the rounds of fire from the giant crossbows, they had already disorganized the formation and suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, the rear cavalry quickly reached the front of the cavalry, and an incredible news came to many generals: the headquarters of the alliance in the rear was attacked by people overnight, and the alliance was thundered on the ground, and the fire was soaring, and the enemy seemed to fall from the sky.

"Lie to confuse the people! Someone, drag it down and behead it. ”

Although the communications soldiers were killed on the spot, the news of the attack on the tribal alliance spread, and the morale of the army was unstable.

In the end, the pros and cons were weighed, but the newly arrived cavalry had to think about retreating.

At this moment, arrows rained down, which made the Alliance Cavalry stunned for a while, because the enemy was still three times the effective range of arrows at a distance, and for a while, the vanguard of the Grassland Alliance Cavalry had become a mess.

The cavalry of the Prairie Alliance was completely disorganized, and they were not willing to stay behind to stop the enemy, they were all bent on retreating to the camp and preserving their respective tribes, just like the scramble when they came, and there was no discipline at all.

There was a thunderous explosion in the retreating steppe coalition army, and there were countless cavalry in the army that were shocked off their horses, all of which were drowned in the sea of people of the imperial army, and at this time, the frightened war horses collided with each other, trampling on the original formation.

As soon as the cannon fire stopped, a cavalry was killed on each flank of the rear of the coalition army, one led by Lu Li and the other led by Lu Li, although the two sides were interspersed with ambushes.

It is not far from Lu Fan's main army, and Lu Fan himself also led more than 100 guards to sit firmly in the Chinese army wearing battle armor, ready to rush to the aid of the two children who have just entered the battlefield in case of accidents.

Although the guards beside the two were all top masters, Lu Fan still couldn't rest assured.

Although nominally let them lead the army to attack, but it was only nominal, and the real pursuit mission had already been arranged.

At the same time, a cavalry corpsion of the Union Army broke away from the army and joined forces with the hundreds of soldiers of the female general to form a cavalry, but it did not take advantage of the chaos to pursue, but only watched the battle from a distance.

On this day, the imperial army can be said to have won a complete victory, killing the enemy to the ground, and almost half of the steppe coalition army was sunk here.

It's a big win~!

In the evening, Lu Fan listened to the quartermasters in the camp tent and reported the various materials that had been handed over.

After listening to Lu Fan for a long time, Lu Fan didn't seem impatient at all, and finally said: "Just put down the account book, you just need to tell me, how many war horses have been captured?"

In this battle, more than 5,000 war horses of all kinds were captured. Among them, more than 500 wounded war horses, most of them were war horses. The quartermaster said.

"Well, it is good to distribute the war horses according to the original distribution, and the injured war horses must also be carefully adjusted. After Lu Fan finished speaking to the quartermaster, he waved his hand and ordered him to go down.

After this battle, Lu Fan was able to form a cavalry of more than 10,000 people, and the history of the lack of cavalry in the Western Army no longer existed.

In this battle, Lu Fan was in a good mood, not that Lu Fan had formed a huge cavalry, but that the combat power of the Shenji Battalion in this battle had completely exceeded Lu Fan's original expectations.

The strength of the Shenji Battalion made Lu Fan happy and scared.

I am glad that the amazing combat power of the Shenji Battalion has been invincible on the grassland since then.

What I am afraid of is that the research of various secret weapons of the Shenji Battalion is not too long, and some forces have already studied it early, and their research is not behind their own side, or even ahead, and the future war will only be more cruel!

We must not leave behind for a moment in the study of this aspect, and we must intensify our efforts and conduct more in-depth research, so that we can stand on the commanding heights in future wars.

At night, the grassland is blazing with bonfires.

Suddenly, a general entered the tent and said: "Lu Shuai, there is something I have to report to you, you have handed over the prisoners of war to the Tamu tribe for disposal, but I have just received a report that the soldiers of the small tribe in the captive camp have been taken out by the Tamu tribe to camp in another camp. ”

After hearing the young general's worries, Lu Fan said, "Since the disposal of the captives has been handed over to the Tamu tribe, don't worry about it anymore." I know about it, so go back. Lu Fan said earnestly to this young general.

"Whew!" the young general calmly turned around and walked out of the tent, and the moment he left the tent, the young general burst into tears.

About an hour later, the prisoner camp in the west faintly heard the screams one after another, although Lu Fan was in a slightly depressed mood, but he didn't ask the reason.

It wasn't until he saw a little starlight in the sky that the sadness on Lu Fan's face decreased a lot.

The transport spacecraft in the air has returned safely, which shows that the plan over there is going well.

At this moment, Lu Fan was sure that this battle had been completely won, and there was no suspense, although the first battle was faced with a rabble army, but the reason why he was able to win so completely was thanks to the war weapon designed by skilled craftsmen according to the drawings.

A few months later, the Western Expeditionary Army led by Lu Fan won successive battles, and the tribes in the northeast of the grassland all surrendered to Lu Fan's military authority, and conquered no less territory than Lin Li's, but the next Western Expeditionary Army did not carry out a rapid attack on the major tribes like Lin Li's light cavalry.

Instead, they chose to take proper recuperation and at the same time conduct integrated training of the newly established cavalry, abandoning the advantage of the cavalry's rapid blitzkrieg.

And the original small tribe, the Tamu tribe, has also become the only dominant tribe in this land, just helping the Western Expeditionary Army to rule this grassland.

Although the news of the Tamu tribe's massacre of soldiers from various tribes of the steppe spread, it was also in line with the practice of fighting among various tribes on the grassland.

After being captured, the soldiers on the local grassland could only teach the cavalry and archery skills of the grassland during the daily training, or practice against the imperial soldiers, but due to various restrictions, the daily casualties were as high as dozens of people, and at the same time, Lu Fan's progress in forming cavalry seemed to be rapid.

Lu Fan rode an unusually black maned horse, the whole thing was like a splash of ink, and it was like a surging mass of ink when he ran.

And what surprised Lu Fan the most was that under the pressure of the feathered wolf, this black horse did not have the panic of other beasts, but ran normally on the grassland.

This is a different breed among horses, and he directly ignored the feathered wolf, the king of beasts, until after despising the authority of the feathered wolf many times, the feathered wolf tore the horse's neck in a frenzy, and the bloody pain made this black horse have a sense of awe for the feathered wolf.

Lu Fan rode a black horse and walked leisurely, patrolling the grassland, the feathered wolf strutting on the side, and the big stupid dog and the little fox also followed on the side, one person and one horse, and three arrogant dogs... Let's enjoy the vast scenery of the grassland!

This newly built army, compared to the relationship between the army, is not as deep as the relationship network of other legions, this army is not only a beginning for Lu Fan in the future, but also a beginning for Lu Li and Lu Li.

The ultimate goal of this westward expedition is to build a fully armed elite iron cavalry.
