Chapter 458: Heavy Cavalry!

Cangguo's strategy has been achieved.

After two months of cold treatment, let the countries see that Cangguo has no big ambitions.

Then, it is to consume the strength of the Chu State.

Next, it's time to show the sword.

……

"Booming ......"

In the grass, summer insects chirp, and the air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

A secret group of cavalry, wrapped in strips of black cloth, shuttled through the mountains and dense forests.

They are scouts.

Because the two armies are facing each other, the distance between them is not very far, so the scouts of the Blue Dragon Legion are divided into two types, one is the foot soldiers who travel quickly at night, relying on their foot strength to shuttle through the jungle.

The other is equipped with a war horse, which is used to report the news after being exposed, or in the middle of a battle.

About half an hour later, the armor battalion followed, carrying fierce fire oil.

After that, a steady stream of armies arrived.

Night warfare has always been the specialty of the Cangguo army, and it is a project that every soldier must practice, which is very standardized and skilled.

Today, it is still chosen to fight the first battle.

Before attacking the camp, the Qinglong Legion secretly sneaked into the dense forests on the hills on both sides of the camp and attacked the Chu camp fiercely.

The general Qu Yong specially affirmed that in this battle, the reinforcements of the Chu State must not be intercepted, and all the troops should be gathered to attack the Chu army, so as to be bold and brave, and to defeat the Chu army before dawn.

As soon as it was dark, the army of the Blue Dragon Legion died down, marched secretly in three ways, and touched the periphery of the Chu army camp in the middle of the night.

An hour later, three Sima lanterns rose into the sky in the breeze.

Sima lantern, that is, Kong Ming lantern.

This is the night attack order agreed between Qu Yong and the generals.

Sure enough, when the armor battalions ambushed on the mountainsides on both sides reacted immediately, and thousands of arrows were fired.

The long arrow cluster with a thick cloth soaked in fierce fire oil, after lighting the fire, like a fire dragon, pounced on the camp of the Chu army!

Inside and outside the camp of the Chu army, there are many thick logs, as well as wooden fence barriers and chariots, etc., or one after another camp tents.

Once the arrows doused with fire oil were planted on the tent, they were immediately ablaze.

Within a moment, the fire spread endlessly in the shouts of the Chu army.

At this time, the sound of trumpets from all sides was loud, and the three-way army entered the Chu army camp like a tide.

Although the Zhao army had been on guard for a long time, it was also in chaos under the surprise attack of the strong army.

Rao is Wanxi was in danger, commanding and bravely rushing to kill, but the Chu army had been divided by the 30,000 iron cavalry that had sprung up from the rear one after another, and could not fight in formation, so he could only desperately rush out of the military camp that had become a sea of fire.

Water is needed to extinguish fires, and there is absolutely no water in the barracks to extinguish such a fire, and all the soldiers can only rush out of the camp in order to survive.

As soon as they rushed to the open terrain, they heard a rumbling sound, and the armor team dragged the repeater chariots, showing a huge fan-shaped array, outflanking them.

The armor team is unique to the major legions of the Cangguo, and its prestige is second only to the unique cavalry.

The repeater chariot was like rain, constantly spraying arrows at the Chu army that poured out of the sea of fire.

Small catapults, flasks, armored carts......

After more than an hour, the Chu army collapsed on all fronts.

Wan Xi has been in battle for a long time, and knows that if such a stalemate continues, the whole army can only be annihilated, so he yelled loudly and led the team to withdraw.

For a time, the scattered Chu army fled to the rear of the south.

Counting the battlefield at dawn, the Qinglong Legion only had more than 5,000 casualties, and it actually beheaded more than 120,000 Chu troops.

Such a record immediately spread all over the world.

Cangjun, it turned out to be so strong?

Then I asked...... Sneak attack?

It turned out to be a sneak attack again......

Faced with the ruins of the camp, Wan Xi wept blood, and his heart was full of sorrow, as if he had been hit by a boulder, and fell ill on the same day.

Xiong Minne was also trembling with anger, sneak attacks have always been a common occurrence in hundreds of years of war, but no country has ever regarded sneak attacks as a conventional means.

How different, how shameless, how helpless?

Cangguo has already brought the sneak attack to its peak.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the weapons and cavalry that cooperate with the sneak attack are simply the best assists for the sneak attack, reducing the difficulty of launching a sneak attack to an incredible level.

Sneak attacks are like a common occurrence.

Only Cangguo is the most jubilant.

Yang Mu was also relieved when he heard the news in the palace.

This battle is not really aimed at the Chu State.

It is a temptation of all the nations of the world.

When all the countries were carrying small benches and knocking melon seeds, ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Cangguo's strategy was successful.

Before, he had been worried that Qu Yong would not be able to control the situation and directly fight with the Chu State, so that the war would escalate and the countries would be vigilant.

Unexpectedly, this guy still has a bit of brains, and the exercises all day long gave the Chu army an illusion, and he actually came up with a trick that the soldiers did not tire of deceit, and directly attacked at night, and left a way for the Chu State to retreat, so as not to let it lose too badly.

This time, Yang Mu deliberately suppressed it, and did not let the ministers deliberately publicize it, nor did he publish the news on a large scale in the "Dacang Times", and dealt with it in a low-key manner.

At the same time, he also sent an envoy to enter the territory of Shao to relieve the army, and at the same time issued an edict to the world: Shao Cang's coalition army defeated the Chu army slightly, as long as Chu no longer invaded Shao, Shao Cang's coalition army would not take the opportunity to suppress the border and retreat to Shao's territory.

An edict blocked the mouth of the world.

……

However, the state of Chu did not give up.

This time, the state of Chu was really angry, and the ministers in the government and the opposition were furious and threatened to take revenge.

This is exactly what Yang Mu wants.

"It's time to show you something real." Yang Mu muttered.

In the afternoon, he went to the wilderness horse farm outside the city.

There was a neighing, and a team of horses galloped in.

Heavy cavalry!

All the knights were dressed in fine iron armor of more than sixty catties, and only two eyes leaked out of their bodies.

Unlike the lightly armed cavalry, the hoplites each had a heavy sword.

In addition, there was an iron spear more than a foot long and twenty long-range arrows.

This kind of cavalry is only suitable for strong charges in the flat terrain, but it is not suitable for fighting in the mountains, so the Ministry of Science and Technology specially designed this kind of weapon.

Next, it's a simulation walkthrough.

Confrontation of heavy cavalry with light cavalry.

The Heavy Iron Rider unfolded, and it was connected by an iron tower, like a boundless black iron stream.

When the two armies collided, the lightly armed knights were immediately overwhelmed.

This iron stream is pressed with a spear and a long sword, let you be light and fierce, but it is not close to a zhang, even if a few arrows are shot, it will not hurt him at all.

The green cavalry is a big sword, which is roughly more than three feet long and weighs seven or eight pounds, and the melee slashing is not as powerful as the heavy long sword, and the long-range battle is not as good as the fine iron spear.

If in the battlefield, no man or horse can fight in close combat, only in the constant dodge to find an opportunity to fight, and then the slightest mistake in dodging will be pierced by a spear!
