The famous Nine Thousand Leopard War Cavalry was indeed well-deserved. Faced with the sudden change, they quickly regained their composure after a brief panic and stopped their progress in unison.
In this situation, it is difficult for even the infantry to calm down quickly, let alone the combat cavalry. It is enough to show that these nine thousand leopard combat cavalry are infinitely close to the realm of "human and cavalry integration".
The Leopard God General was also an extremely good commander. After a brief pause, he ordered, "The scout group is divided into three teams to explore the road ahead. Remember, move forward slowly, and the rest of you will stay in a defensive position."
Standby."
The three teams immediately moved slowly in three different directions.
After walking forward for about fifty meters, one of them came back to his senses and made a gesture in this direction.
The Leopard God General smiled coldly, "This bunch of rubbish are not worthy enough to play such unsavory tricks."
As he spoke, he raised one hand and said loudly, "Brothers, they cannot dig enough traps to cover them in such a short period of time. These are just bluffs. Don't pay attention to them and continue to charge forward!"
Let’s just say, the Leopard God will bear the brunt of the horse’s belly by clamping it hard.
There is the biggest difference between an excellent commander and a mediocre commander. When an excellent commander charges, he will say: "Brothers, charge with me!"
But a mediocre commander will only say: "Brothers, charge for me!"
There is only one word difference, but the nature is completely different.
As a general, you should be strong and sharp, be sure to honor rewards, trust in punishments, and lead the way.
The most difficult thing to do is to take the lead in the end. Many commanders have finally climbed to this position. They are usually more afraid of death and basically will not rush to the front to take the lead.
This has a great impact on morale. If the commander bears the brunt of the attack, the soldiers behind him will definitely be encouraged and their morale will rise.
The nine thousand leopard warriors once again increased their power and charged forward fiercely.
When they were about a hundred meters away from the shore of Jishuitan, bamboo thorns suddenly popped out from various parts of the Jishuitan.
The shape of these bamboo thorns resembles bamboo with branches. When the war horse is charging at high speed, the horse's legs hit these bamboo thorns that suddenly protruded, and they were all cut off in an instant!
In an instant, accompanied by a burst of horses' neighing, hundreds of leopard warriors were caught off guard and fell off their horses one after another.
When they fell into the pool of water, before they could react, they were instantly pricked with holes by bamboo fangs!
"There is an ambush under the water. Stop advancing and fight back on the spot. I will stab them to death in the water!"
The Leopard God General indeed has two skills. Faced with such a big change, he immediately made a response strategy.
The leopard warriors tightened their reins one after another. After they stopped moving forward, the protruding bamboo fangs were unable to cause harm to the horses.
Moreover, the protruding bamboo fang thorns also exposed their ambush position.
"Annihilate them on the spot, not sparing anyone!"
The Leopard God gave an order.
Thousands of leopard warriors immediately jumped off their horses as fast as possible, preparing to attack the nearest ambush point.
However, at this moment, those bamboo fang thorns suddenly retracted from the water surface.
call--
Almost at the same time, a whistling sound of objects flying at high speed suddenly came from mid-air.
The Leopard God General looked up, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted, "Hide, hide, hide!"
In mid-air, I saw a dense mass of javelins flying towards us like dark clouds!
At this time, all the leopard warriors fell off their horses, and there were no bunkers around, so they could only use their horses as bunkers.
Puff puff puff puff puff!
The densely packed javelins poured down like a downpour, and the war horses were instantly pricked into hedgehogs, and there were waves of scalp-numbing neighing sounds.
"Take off your armor and raise it above your head as a shield, use the horse's corpse as a cover to protect yourself!"
The Leopard God General still issued the most correct order despite the panic.
Under any circumstances, maximizing the preservation of vitality will always be the core element on any battlefield.
As long as people are around, everything will turn around.
But if there are no people, no matter how many horses and cities you have, it will be in vain.
This is the truth of the saying in the Art of War: "If you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land; if you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land."
Although the javelins that suddenly attack are dense, there must be a number, and they cannot continue in an infinite loop.
These well-trained leopard warriors took off their armor as quickly as possible after hearing the order and used it as a shield. They quickly became powerful.
Greatly reduced the lethality of javelins against them.
"Brothers, follow me to the shore as fast as you can!"
The Leopard God General knew that they could not remain passive. At this time, they had to go ashore to reverse the situation.
Leopard War Cavalry can not only fight on horseback, but also have excellent standing ability after dismounting.
Under the quick reaction command of the Leopard God General, several rounds of overwhelming javelin coverage only caused them to lose a few hundred people.
Under such circumstances, this number of casualties is already very good. If the Leopard General's reaction had been a little slower, this number would have been doubled several times.
At this time, the cardinal not far away was using a telescope to nervously see the scene in front of him.
"I didn't expect this Leopard God General to be very talented."
At this time, a voice came from the side. Ye Yangxuan didn't know when he picked up the telescope and looked at everything happening in front of him with interest.
"What should I do? Although their offensive has been temporarily slowed down, it seems that the Leopard War Cavalry is still very capable of fighting on foot even when dismounted!"
Hongque's face looked very worried. She had thought about every detail before, but she never expected that the Leopard War Cavalry could quickly transform into an elite infantry fighting master even after dismounting.
"Yang Xuan, give the order quickly. Don't let them come ashore. Now rush over while they are stuck in the mud!"
Although Cardinal didn't know how to lead troops in battle, he had a very bright mind and quickly discovered a flaw in his opponent.
Because the Leopard Cavalry did not expect to encounter this scene in advance, nor did they expect that they would dismount and fight on foot, so the equipment they wore was prepared for horse fighting.
The armor they wore had little effect on infantry combat, but the boots they wore had spurs for holding the horse's belly.
As a result, walking in a mud puddle will greatly reduce their ability to move, so fighting them in a puddle is undoubtedly the best time.
"Don't worry, just wait."
Ye Yangxuan smacked his lips and said, "First think of a way to make that Shaman God of War show up."
When Cardinal heard this, he remembered that the Shaman God of War was hidden in the leopard cavalry. He had not shown up until now. This showed that in his opinion, it was not the last resort yet.
As long as the Shaman God of War doesn't show up for a moment, he will always be a potentially huge threat, so we must find a way to force him to show up as soon as possible!
