Chapter 270: The First Battle Is Not Bloodless

The Gale Cavalry is one of the two main cavalry corps of the Beigong Family, with a total of 100,000 light cavalry, while the other Wild Thunder Cavalry in the Second Cavalry of the Wind and Thunder is composed of 30,000 heavy cavalry.

These 130,000 cavalry are the core and most capable military force of the Beigong family, in addition, such as the Qingdian Cavalry and so on, all belong to the second-line troops, whether it is in the soldier's cultivation realm, training level or sophistication of equipment, there is a big gap compared with the second cavalry of Fenglei .

In terms of status in the family, the Wind and Thunder Second Horseman, like the Eight Horsemen of the Daxi Family, are all Optimus Pillar-like existences in their respective families, which directly affects the strength of the overall strength of the family. Previously, the Wind and Thunder Two Riders and the Stygian Snow Eight Riders were among the strongest military forces of the Terrans, but now, their light was suppressed by the miraculously rising Moon Dragoon.

The Gale Cavalry had a total of 100,000 cavalry, but these 100,000 cavalry did not have a unified commander, but were divided into 10 10,000 regiments, led by ten commanders, and directly accepted the dispatch of the head of the family. After all, as the core combat force of the Daxi family, the Gale Cavalry would not allow anyone to gain the power to control all 100,000 cavalry, so as not to threaten or affect his position.

When needed, the head of the family will authorize the temporary commander to lead one or more legions to carry out the mission, just as Beigong Zhao was ordered to hunt down Shi Zhiyi before. However, this delegation of authority will end with the end of the mandate and will not form a long-term jurisdictional relationship.

At this moment, stationed near the Fubo Wharf, is the 10,000 cavalry of the Second Legion of the Gale Cavalry, more than two years ago when Shi Zhiyi and others were attacked in Ningyuchuan, the second legion was seconded by the then third prince, the current prince Yu Zhongqian, under the leadership of Beigong Mu, the second son of the head of the family Beigong Yixiao, dug three feet around the Ningyuchuan, "searching" the missing Shi Zhiyi for more than a month.

At this time, the Second Legion was conducting a routine morning exercise, as the absolute main force of the Beigong family, the daily training intensity of the Gale Cavalry far exceeded that of any other unit except the Thunder Cavalry, and at the same time, their diet and salary were far higher than those of the second- and third-line troops, so the soldiers of the Gale Cavalry often became the envy of the soldiers of other troops.

In today's peaceful period, when there is almost no war, being able to become a member of the main cavalry corps such as Gale Rider is already the best way out for ordinary people from ordinary backgrounds, not only with a good income but also very stable, not to mention worrying about being exploited by the government, which is far better than farming or doing small business.

Ling Hubin is the commander of the Second Legion of Gale Cavalry, and he has the cultivation of reaching the pinnacle. Although he is only a commander, with his strength and the status of Gale Rider, his power can even be equal to that of some second-tier army commanders.

The 10,000 soldiers of the Second Regiment were fighting bare-handed in groups of two and two on the school field at this time. This is the training plan arranged by Ling Hubin, only the five thousand soldiers who win can be qualified for breakfast, and the half of the soldiers who fail have to go hungry for the next training.

Just when the fight in the field was fierce, Ling Hubin's ears on the high platform standing on the side of the school field suddenly shook twice. At the peak of his hall, although he has not yet opened his divine thoughts, with the increase of his cultivation, his ears and eyes are clear, and his sensory sensitivity has been several times stronger than that of ordinary people.

Even in the noisy school field where tens of thousands of people were fighting, Ling Hubin still accurately captured the faint sound of horses' hooves coming from the east side of the barracks. His preliminary judgment was that there should be hundreds of healthy horses, which were rushing in the direction of the barracks.

Like the vast majority of the forces of the human race, the Beigong family is also peaceful for a long time, although there will be a war with the Jingman clan every hundred and eighty years, but it is only in the direction of the south of Yongzhou near the wild forest that it will be worried, and the location of the second legion, north of the Puzhou Fu family, east of the Fanzhou Xu family, the Beigong family and these two families have no grudges, although the relationship between the three princes and the Fu family has cooled down due to the attack on the three princes two years ago, but it is far from the point of turning against each other.

Therefore, although Ling Hubin heard the sound of horses' hooves, he did not judge the latter as an enemy at the first time, but regarded it as a friendly army passing by here on a mission.

It only took a blink of an eye for Ling Hubin to make this judgment. However, the consequences of this blink of an eye were fatal for the entire Second Legion.

"Enemy attack! Evacuate immediately, get weapons and prepare for battle!"

When the dense rain of arrows blocked the rising sun in the east like locusts, Ling Hubin reacted, shouting hoarsely for the soldiers on the school field to evacuate, however, at this time, less than twenty percent of the soldiers who were concentrating on hand-to-hand combat with their opponents heard Ling Hubin's warning, and less than half of the two percent of the soldiers were lying on the ground exhausted, completely without the strength to run.

Arrows are like meteors, and they are coming in an instant. When the black rain of arrows came to the sky above the school field of the Second Legion camp with a terrible low scream, most of the soldiers raised their heads blankly, looking for the source of this strange sound.

However, what caught their eyes was a sharp arrow that demanded their lives.

I have to say that the arrival of this wave of arrow rain has chosen the most suitable time. Since it was the morning exercise time, almost all the soldiers of the Second Army Corps were in this school field with a radius of sixty or seventy zhang, and the density of personnel was extremely high.

And because it was summer, the weather was very hot, and the soldiers fought each other in pairs, all of them were not only unarmed, but most of them showed their strong muscles and went into battle shirtless, not to mention wearing armor, not even a piece of cloth.

In order to obtain the qualification to eat breakfast, after nearly half a pillar of fighting, most of the soldiers were exhausted, and some of them did not even have the strength to get up from the ground, and the overall reaction speed and movement speed were several notches lower than usual.

Therefore, when the rain of arrows fell, most of the soldiers did not have time to make any effective defense, and could only watch as the long arrows that claimed for their lives, with a huge impact, pierced their bodies, and bloomed one after another blood flowers on the ground of the school grounds.

Ling Hubin pushed away the long arrows shot at him one by one, looked down at the situation in the school field at this time, and his two eyes instantly turned red.

This elite cavalry, which he has worked so hard to create, has not had time to go to the battlefield, and before he even knows who the enemy is and what he looks like, more than half of them have been killed and wounded, and they have almost lost their combat effectiveness.

Leaving 2,000 horsemen to guard the Fubo Pier, the 3,000 Moon Dragoons who killed the camp of the Second Legion shot a total of nearly 20,000 long arrows, taking away the lives of more than 5,000 Gale Cavalry Second Legion soldiers, and the number of seriously injured soldiers also exceeded 2,000, a considerable part of which was caused by the soldiers trampling on each other when they were dodging the rain of arrows.

The Second Army of 10,000 men, in a dozen breaths, was left with less than 3,000 tired divisions scattered and fleeing in panic with their bare hands.

The battle has not yet begun before it can be declared over.
