Chapter Twenty-Six: Three Thousand Horsemen
Even Gu Shaohua himself didn't expect that he would play such a huge role, just by ascending to the heights, he was recognized by all the cavalry, rekindled morale, and re-erupted with strong combat effectiveness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Summoning up their courage, the cavalry turned back to fight, but instead killed the spearmen who had penetrated too deep into the depths of the army, suffered heavy losses, and the blood flowed like a river, and then they were crushed.
The results achieved were far beyond Gu Shaohua's imagination.
Of course, in order to have such a successful counterattack, in addition to Gu Shaohua's guidance and the sacrifice of the cavalry, Shang Yunying played a decisive role.
If it weren't for Shang Yunying to resist Li Si, a condensate realm cultivator, with his own strength, he would be able to kill all the cavalry, and there would be no room to turn over.
Gu Shaohua was very happy to achieve this result, but he would not be carried away by victory, and a temporary victory does not mean an eternal victory.
More than 10,000 iron horsemen, after some previous changes, only a little more than half are left, relying on a moment of blood and hatred, they can kill the spearmen of the second prince, but they are not tireless robots, it is impossible to maintain such combat effectiveness forever.
Kyoto is the base camp of the second prince, and he may transfer reinforcements at any time, not to mention reinforcements, only the soldiers and horses here in the imperial tomb are strong enough.
Gu Shaohua knew very well that once such a stalemate continued, the strength of the cavalry would weaken rapidly, and under the elimination of one or the other, there would still be more losses and fewer wins.
So, he already had a choice.
"Go, brothers, fight and retreat with me. ”
Gu Shaohua brandished the blood-drinking sword, took the lead, and rushed out of the battlefield.
Killing the red-eyed cavalry, in the end, did not completely lose his mind, Gu Shaohua borrowed the identity of the eldest prince to issue an order, it is still very useful.
The crowd rode together, lined up in a queue, stretched for several miles, rolled up the west wind, blew away the beads of blood, and rolled away, quickly away from the imperial tomb.
Seeing another "boss" leave, the second prince Shentong didn't want to stop him, but he really had no choice, and there was no card in his hand to play for the time being.
Thousands of cavalry roared away, and they couldn't even see the shadow, only then did a team of black-clothed people gallop over, led by the black-clothed people bowed down to the second prince, and said gloomily: "Your Highness, the shadow has arrived, please give me something to command." ”
The second prince glanced at Shang Yunying, who was slowly leaving the battle, and was silent for a moment before he said unhappily: "Forget it, you guys retreat." ”
is also a condensation realm cultivator, Shang Yunying's combat power has to overpower Li Si, she wants to get out of the battle, Li Si has no choice but to watch her escape.
The second prince can operate a huge force in Kyoto, and it is useless to say that everything else, force accounts for a huge proportion, and the shadow is the knife in his hand.
Many of the ministers of the DPRK and China have heard of the evil deeds of the shadows, and when they look at these black-clothed people, they are full of disgust and stay away.
――――――――――
Thousands of iron horsemen, galloping on the official road, like a gust of wind, where they passed, everyone avoided it, like avoiding snakes and scorpions.
After the battle of the Imperial Tomb, more than 10,000 iron horsemen, only less than 6,000 horsemen remained, among which there were many wounded, but despite this, this is also a force that is not weak.
The battle for the heir is the most dangerous, the winner is the king, the loser is the coward, this time, the second prince won, once he ascends the throne as the emperor, the six thousand cavalry who participated in this battle will definitely be liquidated.
Therefore, when Gu Shaohua proposed to let them go south to Yanghe County with him, most of them agreed, but some people hesitated or even refused.
The forbidden army is the soldiers and horses who defend Kyoto, and they are inextricably linked with Kyoto, and most of these cavalrymen have settled in Kyoto, have wives and children, how to give up.
Gu Shaohua also understands these difficulties, who has no wife and children, who has no old and young, and who is unwilling to go with him, he can't force it.
The people who left for various reasons accounted for less than half of the total number, and there were more than 3,000 cavalrymen who were willing to follow Gu Shaohua and return to Yanghe County.
wanted to leave, Gu Shaohua not only did not feel the slightest embarrassment, but also gave them some settling-in money, and the only requirement was to let them leave the horses.
10,000 cavalry, only 30% remained, this proportion is not high, the two armies are fighting, such a survival rate, non-big defeat is not enough to describe.
But these 10,000 cavalry are not Gu Shaohua's subordinates, he can fish out half of the people from the desperate situation of the annihilation of the whole army, and 3,000 people are willing to follow him, which is already very remarkable.
Sending those who were interested in leaving, Gu Shaohua took his own team, day and night, and rushed towards Yanghe County.
The second prince's ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion, once he has the authority, he will never let them go, Gu Shaohua told everyone about this concern, and everyone agreed to rush to Yanghe County as soon as possible.
The eldest prince was named the Marquis of Zhige by the first emperor, guarding Yanghe County, resisting foreign invasions, and running Yanghe County like an iron bucket, and water could not be splashed.
Over the years, the alien race has launched many wars, all of which have been stopped by the great prince, and his outstanding military exploits are not in vain.
He didn't even get involved in the management of Yanghe County, even the first emperor couldn't get involved, even if the second prince ascended the throne of the emperor of Qi State, he didn't want to get Yanghe County, which was run like an iron bucket.
There is also an advantage of traveling day and night at full speed, that is, Gu Shaohua can hide his identity, have time to prepare, or even knock on the side, and learn some things about the eldest prince Shen Jue.
At the fastest speed, rush with all your might, there is rarely a time to rest, but it does not mean that there is no rest, after all, people are not steel, it is impossible not to sleep.
People are tired and horses are even more tired, and a horse will reach the limit if it runs 800 to 1,000 miles, and if it continues forcibly, it must be exhausted to death.
Three thousand cavalrymen, all of them with one person and two horses, supported such a high-intensity attack, but they were also reluctant, in order to cherish the horsepower, they had to rest.
War horses are strategic resources, and they are indispensable materials for cavalry, even if they lose one, it will make people's hearts ache, and Gu Shaohua cherishes it as much.
Gu Shaohua in his previous life was just a yard farmer, except for typing, he just loved to read online novels, and he didn't know anything else.
Gu Shaohua didn't know anything about marching and fighting, camping, but from some military novels he read, he knew that the army had to camp when resting to prevent accidents and sneak attacks.
Gu Shaohua didn't know how to set up camp, but there were masters in the army who knew how to march and fight, and the matter of setting up camp was left to them.
The camp is set up in a boxy shape, the horses are kept in a corner of the camp, the tents set up by the soldiers are also in order, and many soldiers keep vigil, showing the quality of a strong army.
Gu Shaohua lived in the center of the camp to show that his status was different, but in addition, he did not have any privileges, he ate and slept the same as everyone.
Gu Shaohua doesn't care what other people are like with soldiers, anyway, the theory he saw in the novel is to eat and live with the soldiers, and mingle, so that he can be considered a good general.
In the tent that was not spacious, Gu Shaohua put on a posture, practiced the sixteen styles of quenching, and one by one, skillfully flowed out, which was already engraved in his bones, and he couldn't be more familiar.
These days, whether he is following Shang Yunying or leading three thousand cavalry to run, no matter how busy he is, he has no time, and he has never abandoned his cultivation.
Gu Shaohua is ambitious, wants to pursue strong strength, if there is no perseverance, it is a fantasy, practice is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.
