Chapter 748: Iron Horse
"That's ...... What the? ”
When 30,000 cavalry from northern Sichuan rushed from the Jiaogang area, Sun Shuao and tens of thousands of Chu troops under his command were already dumbfounded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
You must know that for the Chu State, horses can be called very rare "strange beasts".
In particular, the war horses of the northern Sichuan cavalry, which are grassland horses with one zhang and two feet from head to tail and seven feet five from the hooves to the back, are taller and stronger than the Bashu horses introduced by the Chu State from Bashu, so that the cavalry of northern Sichuan riding on horseback are like heavenly soldiers and generals in the eyes of the Chu soldiers.
"Boom—"
With the loud sound of a flash flood and a river bursting its banks, tens of thousands of cavalry from northern Sichuan ignored the Shangshui soldiers in front of them who were holding their hands up—to show their identity, so as not to be injured by mistake—and galloped past them, covering the Chu army here.
In an instant, the formation of the Chu army was in chaos, countless soldiers were slaughtered, and the main army of the Chu State, which was also ranked first among the countries of the Central Plains, was almost defeated just by looking at the face.
"Puff ......"
A Chu soldier accidentally tripped while fleeing.
He shivered and sweated as he heard the sound of heavy footsteps behind him, for he had caught a glimpse of a great shadow on the ground in front of him.
He shuddered and turned his head, and was shocked to see that behind him, a soldier with a terrifying monster in his possession was looking at him coldly.
The monster, it was terrible, on all fours, its head was taller than his, its two eyes staring at him, its terrible fangs, its huge nose heavy, and its white breath snorting.
What's even more terrifying is that this monster's head seems to be wearing a mask made of the skull of some kind of huge beast, which makes this monster even more terrifying.
- Unbeknownst to him, this was a custom of the Sichuan tribe: the local tribal warriors would dry the skulls of the ibocs, make them into masks with ancient techniques, and tie them to the horse's head, making the horse even more terrifying and mysterious.
Similar to its function, there is also a sheep's tooth hanging chain on the chest of the war horse, but this is the blessing of the girls of the Zong and the Qiang tribe for the Ai Lang who went out on the expedition.
These customs are both a blessing for the warriors and a deterrent to the enemies who are their enemies.
"You...... Who are you? Chu Bing asked with fear on his face.
He couldn't imagine that such a terrifying monster could be controlled by someone, by an alien soldier wearing a leather jacket all over his body.
However, the other party ignored his meaning at all, and just raised the slightly curved scimitar high and slashed it down.
This Chu soldier only felt that the blood on his whole body seemed to have condensed, and he watched the scimitar slash down heavily.
Immediately, after a whirlwind, he lost consciousness.
At this time, the alien soldier who was controlling the monster swept his indifferent gaze to the Chu soldiers who were fleeing in a hurry in front of him, and his legs clamped the belly of the monster, only to see the monster's two premises take off a few steps in the air, and rushed out like an arrow.
Kill!
Kill!
Within a distance of several miles, it was explained that such alien soldiers who controlled monsters slaughtered the figure of Chu soldiers.
The dignified Chu State army has no room for backhand in front of this alien army, let alone resist, they can't even save their lives.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Is this really the Horned Cavalry? ”
Witnessing the massacre of the Chu army by the cavalry of northern Sichuan, the soldier Yang Wu could not hide the shock in his heart, after all, in a sense, the cavalry of northern Sichuan was a defeated general under their merchant army.
The defeated generals are actually so strong?!
"What...... What the? Beside him, Gan Mao, the former general of the Donglai Army of the Qi State, had just recovered from the shock, and he couldn't believe what he had seen with his own eyes: Wei State, there were such terrible cavalry?
As the general of the Donglai Army of the former Qi State, Gan Mao was naturally not as ignorant as the vast majority of Chu soldiers, and mistakenly regarded the war horse as an irresistible monster, but then again, he had never heard of such a terrible cavalry in the Wei State.
But seeing those terrible cavalry speeding past them, Gan Mao couldn't help but believe that this was indeed their friendly army.
"This cavalry...... Is it really your Great Wei's cavalry? ”
Gan Mao swallowed his saliva and cautiously asked about the same Wu companion.
In all fairness, Qi also has cavalry, but having witnessed this cavalry, Gan Mao always feels that the two are not on the same level at all.
"The cavalry of northern Sichuan is the cavalry of the alien race that His Royal Highness King Su subdued when he conquered Sanchuan." The soldier Le Leopard answered Gan Mao's question simply and clearly, and rarely did not taunt the laggard.
Because he was also shocked by the northern Sichuan cavalry in front of him.
Just like Yangwu, since the victory in the Battle of Sanchuan, Le Bao also regarded the Northern Sichuan Cavalry as the defeated general of their Shang Water Army, but he didn't expect that this defeated general was so brave.
If you think about it carefully, in fact, it seems that our merchant navy has not confronted this foreign cavalry head-on......
Leopard's mouth was a little bitter.
Because to be more honest, it was only the Qiangjiao tribe and its tribal patriarch Bitattu who were defeated in the Battle of Sanchuan, and the cavalry of the original Qiangjiao tribal alliance was actually not in a head-to-head confrontation with the Shangshui army, even if it finally surrendered to Wei, it was just that the patriarch of the Qiangjiao tribe, Bitatu, did not want to see his tribe completely wiped out, and gave the last order before his death, so that this cavalry surrendered.
Just as Lebao lost his mind, a spear rested lightly on his shoulder.
"Who?!" Gan Mao may have sensed something, and suddenly came to his senses from the battle, he turned his head sharply, and was shocked to see that a tall and burly alien knight had come behind them at some point, and was gently touching the armor on the shoulder of the leopard with the spear in his hand.
This person......
Gan Mao's heart shook violently, because he instinctively felt that the alien cavalryman with a whip mark on his face in front of him was by no means just an ordinary soldier, at least his appearance made him Gan Mao instinctively feel threatened.
"Don't get excited." Probably noticing Gan Mao's preparation as if he was about to swing his weapon at any time, the alien cavalryman with whip marks on his face, speaking in a stiff Wei dialect, asked lightly: "Wait, which branch of the Wei army is it?" ”
"Business...... Shang Shuijun ...... "Seeing that the tip of the other party's spear was still resting on his shoulder, Le Leopard didn't dare to look back, and replied with a spit.
"Shang Shui Jun...... Hmm. The alien cavalryman with whip marks on his face flashed a few complicated expressions in his eyes, and snorted lightly: "It's ridiculous that the merchant army that defeated my Qiangjiao tribe should be reduced to being chased around by a vulnerable army......
As he spoke, he slowly put down the spear resting on Le Leopard's shoulder and asked, "Who is the commander you are waiting for?" ”
"It's General Wu Ji." The soldier Li Hui replied respectfully, perhaps he had recognized the other party.
"Oh...... The Wu Ji of the Shang Shui Army. The alien cavalryman with the whip marks on his face nodded, and then rode his horse forward.
Looking at the back of this person's departure, Gan Mao said in disbelief: "This person is not like an ordinary person. ”
Hearing this, Li Hui nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, he is the chief governor of the 50,000 northern Sichuan cavalry, the righteous son of the former patriarch of the Qiangjiao tribe Bitatu, Bo Xile. ”
"Is that him?" Soldier Yang Wu was slightly taken aback, and then blinked his eyes and said incredulously: "It turns out that this guy's momentum is so strong......"
The crowd was silent.
In the next battle, the Shang Shui Army seemed to have been completely reduced to the role of playing soy sauce, and the Chu army, which had been chasing them violently, was simply powerless to resist under the iron cavalry of the 30,000 cavalry of northern Sichuan.
I saw that in the distance, there was a scene of the cavalry of northern Sichuan slaughtering and poking the Chu soldiers, although those Chu soldiers desperately tried to escape from this place one by one, but in the end, they were still caught up by the cavalry of northern Sichuan and killed one by one.
Where is this war, this is simply a one-sided slaughter!
Looking at this scene, Gan Mao, the former general of the Donglai Army of Qi State, licked his lips and said with difficulty: "Hey, I said...... Are you merchant sailors really winning against these people? ”
Li Hui, Yang Wu, and Le Bao glanced at each other, even if they had the heart to show off their glorious military exploits, but looking at the cavalry in front of them who seemed to be like a torrent, they opened their mouths and couldn't speak.
There is no other reason, it is really because of the cavalry of northern Sichuan, their absolute dominance in this battle, which made the Shangshui generals who were yesterday's victors feel shocked and confused.
We...... Did you really defeat these aliens?
I believe that there are not a few Shangshui generals who hold this kind of suspicion at this moment.
However, having said that, in the face of the absolute force displayed by the northern Sichuan cavalry, the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army were only shocked and confused, while the Chu soldiers who were being chased and killed by those northern Sichuan cavalry at the moment had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.
Hit, can't beat.
Run, can't escape.
It seems that the Chu army is facing only a dead end.
"It's over, it's all over......"
As the general of the battlefield in the western suburbs of Shouying, General Gongsun Po has long been paralyzed on his war horse from Bashu at this moment.
He was not as ignorant as ordinary Chu soldiers, mistaking those war horses for terrifying monsters.
He was just stunned by what he saw.
The charge of 30,000 cavalry from northern Sichuan shook the ground and the mountains, as if even the whole land was trembling.
Seeing Gongsun Po standing in place stupidly, the deputy general Gongsun Ao hurriedly shouted: "General, retreat quickly!" ”
"Retreat? …… Ahhh ”
In full view of everyone, Gongsun Po ignored his prestige as a great nobleman and general, turned his horse's head, and fled backwards desperately.
Sun Shuao frowned, but at this moment, even he couldn't accuse Gongsun Po of anything, after all, the cavalry that ambushed them was too terrifying.
Here's the problem......
Can you escape?
Glancing back at the alien cavalry who were massacring the soldiers of the Chu army under his command, Sun Shuao gritted his teeth and clamped his legs on the war horse from Bashu under his crotch.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he trembled violently.
I see, I see...... You are so ruthless, Wei Gongzi Ji Run......
At this moment, Sun Shuao finally figured out something.
He originally thought that this battle was a place for the Shang Shui army to lure his enemy, but in fact, it was he who fell for the strategy of that Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
And what made him ashamed was that the tactics used by the other party were exactly the same as his. (To be continued.) )
