When he learned that the blue side had put all the troops on the mountain north of his city, the red general's first reaction was to use the advantage in strength to directly annihilate all the forces of the blue side to achieve the goal of victory. So he personally ordered 20,000 infantry and 6,000 Earth Knights and 2,000 Sky Knights, preparing to defeat Chen Yuan's blue army with absolute superiority in strength.

When he led his troops to the mountains north of the city, the red general looked up from the foot of the mountain, from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, and the soldiers in blue armor were walking and busy, as if they were going to camp on the mountain. The red general did not attack rashly, but also ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot. The mountain terrain has self-evident restrictions on cavalry, so this time the red general does not plan to put the six thousand earth knights he brought into the battlefield, because the strength and endurance of the scale horses are good, so this time the task of these earth knights is to carry supplies.

I have to say that the red general is worthy of being the aggregate of the thoughts of the military palace teacher, he is camped, and the blue side on the mountain loses the mobility, while the red side has a steady stream of material support from the city, but the blue side does not have such conditions. As a result, the Lan Convenience led by Chen Yuan fell into passivity.

When the red general put his army in order, he began to march towards the mountains. Leaving all the cavalry and 5,000 infantry, the red general led 15,000 infantry to march up the hill in a defensive formation. The Red General believed that with three times his own strength, as long as he slowly eroded the living forces of the Blue side, the army would reach the top of the mountain and the battle would be won.

But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is always cruel. Before he could reach the halfway point of the mountain, the eight hundred earth knights of the blue side rushed down from the mountain. The limitation of cavalry in the mountains is that they cannot charge fast enough when going up the mountain. But if it is a cavalry that has already occupied the high mountain terrain, the mountainous terrain can increase the power of this class, and with the momentum, Chen Yuan's 800 cavalry armed with spears rushed into the 15,000 men of the red side like a bamboo.

Since the fifteen thousand men of the red side chose a circular defensive formation, under Chen Yuan's exquisite command, these eight hundred cavalry did not choose to break through from the center of the circle, but chose to break through from the side of the circle with the fastest speed. This is like a circle, if it is divided from the front, it must be the diameter of a circle, that is, the longest straight line distance, so that the distance of the charge increases, not to mention, once the enemy closes the formation, although the eight hundred cavalry has the advantage of troops, but in the face of dozens of times their own enemy, they can still only lose.

But Chen Yuan's choice of breakthrough was very ingenious, he commanded the cavalry to cut in from the side of the circle, and did not penetrate deep into the enemy formation, just like cutting a round cake from the side again and again with a knife, not only the distance of each charge became shorter, but also could continue to cause damage.

Because of the advantage of the terrain and the sudden impact of the blue side, when the red general reacted, Chen Yuan's eight hundred cavalry had already charged back and forth three times on the edge of the circle, and the infantry against the cavalry, if there was no good experience in dealing with it, the price would be heavy. In just a few dozen breaths, the infantry of the red side fell by two and a half thousand, while the cavalry of the blue side remained in this state of full strength except for some scars on their bodies.

After three rounds of attacks, the cavalry on the blue side did not like to fight, and turned around and ran. People have mounts, and it is impossible for your infantry to catch up. Therefore, the red general could only watch the blue cavalry that had been raging in his camp march away. After a moment of silence, the Red General decided to move on, and although he had lost 2,500 men, the Red side still had the upper hand. But the good times were short-lived, and after some repairs, the blue cavalry once again charged, and this time the cavalry did not even organize a second attack, and ran away after the charge. This time, however, the red side lost another 500 men, and just halfway up the mountain, the red side had already lost 3,000 men, while the blue side did not lose one.

The red general endured the pain and continued to advance, but the eight hundred cavalry continued to harass him. After receiving Chen Yuan's order, these 800 cavalry did not fight, but hung behind the red army from time to time, occasionally launched a charge, and as long as the red side noticed it, they immediately turned their horses and ran. But if the red side doesn't take it seriously, they take the lives of some red soldiers. This kind of harassment will give the red general a headache, if you want to fight, people won't fight you, and you can't stop people if you want to run. Under the constant harassment of the blue cavalry, the red side has reduced its strength to about 4,000, but the red side has not even touched the hair of others.

Finally, the Red General could not resist the pressure and ordered the whole army to withdraw to the camp. In this battle, the red generals have suffered enough from this harassment war. Chen Yuan smiled secretly, the signature tactics of my great Chinese leader, sparrow warfare, and the taste of raiding and harassing warfare are of course uncomfortable, which requires soldiers to have high mobility, change places with one shot, constantly harass the enemy, and reduce the enemy's vital forces, which is a typical tactic of attacking the strong with the weak.

The red general, who retreated to the foot of the mountain, quickly calculated the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us, and finally decided to make the trump card in his hand - the sky knight, the red side has two thousand sky knights, while the blue side only has two hundred, and the other troops except for the long-range strong archers, there is no existence that can attack the sky knights, and the blue side 3,000 infantry cannot all be strong archers. Infantry is the most important to pay attention to the coordination of troops, if all 3,000 infantry are strong archers, then it is absolutely impossible for the blue side to break through the red city.

Now that the blue side occupies favorable terrain, the red cavalry cannot exert its strength, and the infantry is restrained by the local cavalry, so as long as the sky knights are dispatched and ignore the terrain to strike at the blue side, they can gain an advantage, use the sky knights to suppress the blue side, and use the infantry to shrink the battle circle step by step, so as to achieve the goal of annihilating the place.

Thinking of this, the red general did not hesitate to send all the sky knights, only to see an eagle dove rising into the air at the foot of the mountain, pressing towards the top of the mountain like a black cloud. Seeing the flying Sky Knight, a treacherous smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth.

When the two thousand sky knights in red armor were still about two hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, Chen Yuan waved his hand, and the three thousand infantry took out the weapons hidden in the mountain, which were made by Chen Yuan through his own knowledge and made by the carpenter workshop in the city, and the war weapon that was famous in China - Zhuge Repeater!

When transporting, the crossbow machine, bowstring, crossbow arrows and other parts are transported separately, and when the red general led people up the mountain, Chen Yuan ordered his subordinates to start assembling the Zhuge Repeater, he expected that the red side would definitely use a large number of sky knights who ignored the terrain to suppress themselves, which can be said to be in the middle of Chen Yuan's arms. Among all the troops, Chen Yuan's biggest headache is the Sky Knight, so these Zhuge crossbows are specially prepared for them. Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period of China, Zhuge Kongming made a kind of repeating crossbow, also known as the Yuanrong crossbow, which can fire ten arrows at a time, with strong firepower, but the volume and weight are too large for a single soldier to use. Here, Tatsugen didn't need to fire ten arrows at once, he reduced the arrow grass and crossbow machine, and the capacity of the crossbow arrow was also reduced to three, turning it into a repeater that can be used by individual soldiers.

"Release!" With Chen Yuan's order, three thousand Zhuge repeaters, in the low sound of the machine, a full nine thousand crossbow arrows with a piercing sound of breaking the air shrouded the two thousand sky knights who were rapidly approaching. At a distance of more than 100 meters, even if the crossbow arrows are very strong, the impact force has become much smaller, and many crossbow arrows lose their strength and slide down after they touch the Sky Knight and Eagle Dove.

At first, the two thousand Sky Knights were frightened by this huge rain of arrows, and they had no time to adjust their direction in the air, and they became live targets. But I didn't expect that these many arrows did not have the power I imagined. The two thousand sky knights who came down with peace of mind accelerated and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

However, did Chen Yuan really misestimate the attack range of the crossbow arrow? Of course not! Chen Yuan's killing move was still behind, "Release!" Chen Yuan's voice sounded again, and the Sky Knights had long since disagreed. But this time they were greeted by flaming arrows. I saw that a thousand strong archers among the three thousand infantry bent their bows and arrows, and three thousand flaming arrows flew towards the two thousand sky knights in three volleys.

The timing of the launch of these 3,000 arrows happened to be when the Sky Knights were speeding up, and it was impossible to dodge at this time, so all the Sky Knights had to resist hard. The eagle dove was huge, with thick skin and meat, and the knights were all in armor, so in the opinion of the red general, it should be fine.

But it backfired, and the two thousand Sky Knights who had undergone the baptism of fire quickly burst into flames all over their bodies, and they all fell from the sky screaming. In less than a quarter of an hour, the two thousand Sky Knights of the Red side were wiped out.
