Far away from the camp, thousands of cavalry were sitting on horseback to form a square formation. Everyone felt in their hearts that they were like stepmothers. The large army had eaten the pots and rice in the morning, but they still had no one to care about them.
I had no choice but to carry hard dry food with me, which was quite difficult.
Fortunately, this is a well-disciplined team. Even so, many soldiers still complain, because they have seen with their own eyes that even Mr. Qian is like this. There is nothing special about the same hardships and sufferings.
Qiu Yu rode a golden-patterned horse and faced many of his subordinates, and said loudly: "I also know that everyone has not eaten well in the past two days, and they must feel uncomfortable, but you must remember that we are not here just for comfort, but for
It is to kill the enemy and defend the country. Now the mission is here. We must conquer Shayu Town before dark. I promise you that as long as you occupy this military fortress, you will definitely have hot meals to eat. Are you confident?"
Many soldiers said in unison: "Yes..." The voices were loud and powerful.
This performance made Qiu Yu very satisfied, and he said loudly: "Out..." The golden-striped horse suddenly turned around and ran towards the northwest, followed by thousands of cavalry. The horse's hooves raised the soil and splashed, like a hurricane in the wasteland.
Whistling past.
After two hours of rapid march, the cavalry battalion arrived near Shayu Town. This was a military fortress of the Yan State. The city was extremely solid and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now it is occupied by the Chu Army, and more than a thousand soldiers are stationed, ready to go.
.
The city gate is about two feet high and extremely heavy. It is now closed, with huge wooden bolts used as door bolts. On the top tower is a large flag of Chu State, and there are many soldiers wearing armor standing with bows in their hands.
, looking warily at the thousands of cavalry appearing in the distance, making the air filled with tension.
It was the cavalry battalion led by Qiu Yu who gathered here. Many soldiers of the Yan Kingdom were fully clothed, basically holding shields in their left hands and weapons in their right hands. Even the horses under their crotches were covered with armor. They were armed to the teeth and looked pretty.
Looking solemnly at the city in front of them, they knew that a tough battle was going to begin soon. Shayu Town was impregnable, and they only had a thousand people. Whether they could conquer it was still unknown.
The general of the Chu State stationed in Shayu Town was also a thousand-man general. Hearing that the Yan State cavalry was approaching, this guy hurriedly came to the top of the city tower, widened his eyes and looked into the distance. He saw clearly that there were only about a thousand people on the other side. He was hanging
He relaxed his heart, but did not dare to be careless. He ordered his followers: "Release the demon lord to Master Zheng, the commander of Kubi City, and tell thousands of cavalry from the Yan Kingdom to come to attack Shayu Town. Please send troops for support."
The follower behind agreed and quickly followed suit. A demon owl was released, and its body transformed into a dot and flew in the air. It was very hidden and basically undetectable by others.
Mr. Qian had a square face and a burly figure. He looked at the enemy with hatred in his eyes. He unsheathed his scimitar and struck it hard in the air. It actually penetrated the city wall. It showed that he had extraordinary cultivation. He shouted loudly:
"I am responsible for guarding Shayu Town. It is impregnable. If you bunch of beasts dare to invade, you will only be seeking your own death. If you have the guts, come here."
Qiu Yu, who was sitting on Jinwenmama, frowned and thought to himself, if he attacked rashly, he would suffer heavy casualties, and it might not be effective. After all, he only had such little strength, so he had to take his time.
If you want to preserve your strength, you have to risk it yourself! This is Qiu Yu's idea, and then he turned to Ouyang Lun and said a few words, "I will break into the city alone later, what do you do..."
Hearing these words, Ouyang Lun's eyes flashed with surprise. He felt that this move was too risky, and he quickly dissuaded him: "Is it possible? I'm afraid you will be in danger. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."
Qiu Yu's eyes flashed with determination, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no other way. Only in this way can we have a chance of winning. Isn't there that saying, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs, that's it."
The military orders were overwhelming. Ouyang Lun knew this and could only nod his head and said: "Okay then, I'll do as you say."
The golden-patterned horse turned around to face the many soldiers. Qiu Yu said loudly: "Everyone, listen up. This Ouyang Lun is my deputy and can give orders on my behalf. You must obey."
Although the name is somewhat unfair, thousands of soldiers are in awe of Mr. Qian and dare not disobey him. Moreover, they have also discussed Ouyang Lun's qualifications in private and know that he is a hussar general who once guarded the border.
Being powerful and good at using troops, Mr. Qian naturally made this arrangement carefully.
"Yes." The officers and soldiers agreed in unison.
Qiu Yu then gave the order: "The 100-man team dismounted and used square shields to form a defense system to block the team..."
The entire cavalry battalion consists of ten hundred-man teams. After hearing the order from Mr. Qian, hundreds of cavalrymen dismounted, took out large square shields from the storage bags they carried, replaced the ordinary round shields in their hands, and came to the front of the team.
The formation was quickly arranged like a stack of Arhats. There were thirty-four people in the bottom row, and the rest stood on their shoulders, and then some people continued to climb up, making a total of three levels.
The square shield is about one and a half meters wide and two meters high. It weighs hundreds of kilograms and is very heavy. It has toothed hooks that wedge together with each other. As a result, a defense system of more than forty meters long and six meters high appears in front of the team.
It fits perfectly. From a distance, it looks like a large iron plate with simple patterns carved on it.
The Chu defenders on the other side of the city tower were stunned. What do you mean? Logically speaking, since the enemy came to invade, they should rush over and attack fiercely. Why did they defend first?
General Chu Jun Qian had a look of disdain on his face and curled his lips and said: "I thought they could rush over to this bunch of cowards and kill many of the bastards from the Yan Kingdom. But they are just like turtles and have shrunk into their shells."
The surrounding officers and soldiers couldn't help but laugh, and a military attache echoed: "It seems that we worried too much, and another bunch of rabble came over."
"Where have all the elite troops of Yan State gone? Why are they all of this kind and have no fighting capacity at all?"
Just when these guys were laughing loudly, they saw a person flying out from behind the giant shield. As the sleeves of his robe were waved, many objects fell to the ground, and then they transformed into officers, soldiers and monsters with a metallic luster. It was very magical.
The young man who flew up was naturally Qiu Yu. What he threw out was the chess corps, which served as the vanguard. Among them were four cannons, which automatically rushed forward after landing, as well as chariots, elephants and even a bunch of puppet beasts.
The officers and soldiers are all made of metal anyway, and their defense is much stronger than the cavalry behind them.
The black and white general was wearing armor, riding a horse also wearing armor, holding a shield in his left hand, waving a sword in his right hand and shouting: "Charge..."
The sound was loud and clear, and the two generals galloped on their horses, followed by a group of soldiers, all armed with shields and spears, followed closely by chariots and elephants, all fearless.
The artillery rushed out for a distance and stopped, but the range was enough. It fired at the top of the tower, and the fire shone and made a roaring sound in the smoke.
