No one expected that the Chu cavalry suddenly came out from behind. It could even be said that they were caught off guard. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed into the enemy formation like a torrent and fought with the grassland army.
Don't worry about killing the Central Plains people by mistake, because the armor coverage rate of the grassland people is not as good as that of the Central Plains cavalry, and their clothes are completely different.
Although there are many differences in the shapes of armors between Chu and Zhou, they are of the same ancestry and have the same origin, which is enough for both sides to distinguish ourselves from the enemy.
At this moment, although Chu and Zhou belong to different countries, they are in the same camp.
There is only one goal, and that is to eliminate all the prairie cavalry in front of you.
The Zhou cavalry, who were already in despair, were ready to die, but when they saw thousands of cavalry entering the battlefield to fight with them against the grassland army, the Chu cavalry, which had been exhausted, suddenly
As if infinite power was pouring in, he brandished his spear and horse spear and stabbed the oncoming cavalry to the ground.
The grassland cavalry was even more panicked. Originally, as long as they persisted for one or half a day, they would have killed all the Zhou cavalry, and then they could turn their guns and attack Chu directly.
But now Chu State suddenly came out from behind and caught them off guard. How could they endure this?
These days, it can be said that the prairie cavalry and the Zhou cavalry have been fighting each other all the time, and their energy has been greatly consumed. Of course, the Zhou cavalry has consumed more energy than they did.
However, the Chu Kingdom has not encountered any war these days, especially those who have spent the past few days following traces of the grassland while riding on horses, so their energy and morale are at their peak.
When such an army attacks a grassland army that has shown fatigue due to continuous fighting without rest, one can imagine the result.
Although Xiao Ye is the commander-in-chief this time, he is young, energetic, brave and aggressive. It is impossible for him to stay in the rear and command the army. He is the fastest on the battlefield.
Next is Xiao Ruxue behind Xiao Ye.
However, these two people are surrounded by a large number of shadow guards, so even if they go into battle to kill the enemy in person, they will basically be fine.
As for Xu Qing, he was more self-aware. He stayed on the hillock and was watched by a hundred shadow guards, with the flag of Chu flying around him.
The third and fourth princes remained with Xu Qing obediently, but Xu Qing was far away from them.
After all, the prairie people share the same ancestry with the two of them. Although it sounds good to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side now, it will not be fun if bloodiness suddenly surges up.
Xu Qing, who has been practicing with Su Qian for a long time, is still very good, but he already has the basic sense of martial arts. For example, he absolutely knows that he can't beat either the third prince or the fourth prince.
Xu Qing's current skills are useless except for bullying the cute Xuan'er at home.
This made Xu Qing a little sad. Why is he still so good after practicing Kung Fu with his wife for so long?
…
The war ended with the retreat of the grasslands.
The number of Chu's cavalry is equal to that of the grassland. Although their morale is high and energetic, Chu's army not only consists of Chu's cavalry but also recruited herdsmen.
Although these herdsmen are said to herd animals in their spare time and kill enemies in wartime, there is still a big gap in combat effectiveness compared with the real standing army that exercises regularly.
However, this war was still a great victory for the Central Plains, with more than half of the enemy killed and a large number of prisoners captured.
After the war, Su Chong looked at the prisoners of Chu with greedy eyes.
The Chu State captured the prisoners very impressively, but the Zhou State could only get a bunch of cripples. Although they exchanged a lot of things with the grassland, the materials were only temporary, but the coolies were long-lasting.
They don’t even need to pay wages. They only need to provide barely enough food to work for a day. Who wouldn’t want such a labor force?
But it is obvious that the prisoners in this war have nothing to do with their Zhou State. These prairie people will become Chu State's free labor force. Not only do they have nothing to do with them, but Zhou State also owes Chu State a lot of favors.
.
After the war was over, Mr. Xiao Ye felt that Su Zhong looked at him--the captured prisoners looked a little wrong, so Xiao Ye quickly ordered people to escort the prisoners whose hands and feet were still intact. As for those who were seriously injured, Xiao Ye
I chose ruthless CS.
What they wanted to capture prisoners was labor force, and they were not in the mood to do anything good or good. Naturally, these captives who suffered heavy casualties were killed.
After the prisoners were taken down, Su Zhong and all the Zhou people got off their horses. Su Zhong walked to Xiao Ye and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you so much for helping your country regardless of the past grievances! If your country can be of use to Su Zhong in the future,
Su Zhong will not hesitate to die!"
Xiao Ye said: "Although you and I have conflicts, we share the same origin, so there is no need to be so open-minded. But if you want to thank me, you should really thank someone."
With that said, Xiao Ye pulled Xu Qing, who had just walked onto the battlefield, and continued to speak: "A few days ago, our army was also deceived by the fake grassland camp plan and confronted it. Later, after seeing through it,
I originally wanted to storm the fake camp on the grassland, but Brother Xu told me that the grassland is leaky from all sides, so there is no need to pull out every city or village before we can move forward. Later, it was Brother Xu who observed the traces of the battle all the way before we got here."
Su Zhong looked at Xu Qing and clasped his fists again and said, "Thank you very much for saving my army. If I, Su Zhong, are of any use in the future, Su Zhong will be happy to help you!"
Xu Qing said with a smile, "Marshal Su, you are too polite. As the saying goes, brothers fight against each other and resist their insults. We should fight against the foreigners together. I have not done much in this battle. I am really ashamed."
After getting to know each other, talking about old times, and thanking each other, we started to clean up the battlefield.
Regardless of whether it is friend or foe, the corpses must be buried. Today's Central Plains is different from the past. What the Central Plains wants no longer is to drive away the people who live here and then retreat. Today's Central Plains wants to completely incorporate this area into the territory of the Central Plains.
, so naturally we cannot allow any hidden dangers of plague on our territory.
After burying the corpses, Zhou and Chu camped in different places. Don't chase the poor bandits. They have been fighting for two hours and it is already very tiring. It is time to have a good rest.
The camp of Chu State and the camp of Zhou State are ten miles apart. Although the two countries are now in a short honeymoon period, they must be on guard against others, and it is impossible for each other's camps to be close together.
After setting up camp, Xiao Ye went to write battle reports and send letters.
Xu Qing was about to arrange patrols and passwords for tonight, but on the way back to the tent, he saw Xiao Ruxue, who had just wiped off the blood on his body and looked pale.
Xu Qing walked over and touched Xiao Ruxue's forehead and asked, "You don't have a fever. Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Ruxue couldn't bear it anymore. She held Xu Qing's shoulders, tilted her head and vomited out all the food she had eaten today.
