When 30,000 northern Sichuan cavalry galloped from the Jiaogang area, Sun Shuao and his tens of thousands of Chu troops were stunned.
You must know that for the Chu State, horses can be called very rare "exotic beasts".
Especially the horses of the northern Sichuan cavalry, which are grassland horses measuring 1.2 feet from head to tail and 7 feet 5 from hoofs to back. They are taller and stronger than the Bashu horses imported from Bashu by the Chu State, so much so that the horses riding on them are even more powerful. The cavalrymen in northern Sichuan were like heavenly soldiers and generals in the eyes of Chu soldiers.
"Rumble"
Accompanied by the loud noise that sounded like a flash flood or a river bursting its banks, tens of thousands of Northern Sichuan cavalry ignored the Shangshui soldiers who raised their hands to show their identity to avoid accidental injury, and galloped past them, covering the sky and the earth. Towards the Chu army here.
In an instant, the formation of the Chu army was in chaos, and countless soldiers were slaughtered. The main army of Chu, which was considered to be the best among the countries in the Central Plains, was almost defeated after just a face-to-face encounter.
"Plop..."
A Chu soldier accidentally tripped while escaping.
Hearing the sound of heavy footsteps behind him, he was trembling all over and sweating profusely, because he had already caught a glimpse of a huge shadow appearing on the land in front of him.
He turned his head tremblingly and saw with horror that behind him, there was a soldier driving a terrifying monster, looking at him coldly.
That monster was really terrifying. It was on all fours, and its head was actually higher than him. It had two eyes staring at him, a mouth with terrible teeth, a huge nose, and it was snorting white air.
What's even more terrifying is that the monster's head seems to be wearing a mask made of the skull of some huge alien beast, which makes the monster even more terrifying.
He didn't know that this was a custom of the Sichuan tribe: local tribal warriors would dry the skulls of ibexes, use ancient craftsmanship to make masks, and tie them to the horses' heads, making the war horses even more terrifying and mysterious.
Similar to its function, there is a fern chain hanging on the chest of a war horse, but this is a blessing made by the girls of the Sheng and Jie tribes for their beloved husband who goes on an expedition.
These customs are not only a blessing to the warriors who go out to fight, but also to frighten their enemies.
"You...who are you?" Chu Bing asked with fear on his face.
He could not imagine that such a terrifying monster could be controlled by a foreign soldier covered in a fur coat.
However, the other party ignored his intention at all, and just raised the slightly curved scimitar high and slashed it down hard.
The Chu soldier felt as if all the blood in his body had condensed, and he watched helplessly as the scimitar fell heavily.
Immediately, after a period of dizziness, he lost consciousness.
At this time, the foreign soldier who was driving the monster glanced coldly at the Chu soldiers who were escaping hastily in front of him, clamped his legs on the monster's abdomen, and saw the monster's two legs leaping into the air and taking a few steps, as if It shot out like an arrow.
kill!
kill!
Within a few miles, it seemed that these alien soldiers driving monsters were slaughtering the Chu soldiers.
The dignified Chu army had no room to fight back against this foreign army. Let alone resist, they couldn't even save their own lives.
"Hey, hey, hey...is this really the Jiejiao Cavalry?"
Witnessing the massacre of the Chu army by the Northern Sichuan Cavalry, soldier Yang Wu could not conceal his shock. After all, in a sense, the Northern Sichuan Cavalry was the defeated general of their Shang Shui Army.
His defeated general was actually so powerful?!
"What...what?" Beside him, Gan Mao, the former general of Qi's Donglai Army, had just recovered from the shock. He could not believe what he saw with his own eyes: Wei State actually had such a terrifying cavalry.
?
As the former general of the Donglai Army of Qi State, Gan Mao would naturally not be as ignorant as most of the Chu soldiers and mistakenly regard war horses as irresistible monsters. But having said that, he had never heard of such terrifying cavalry in Wei State.
But seeing those terrifying cavalry flying past them, Gan Mao couldn't help but not believe that these were indeed their friendly troops.
"This cavalry...is it really the cavalry of your Wei Dynasty?"
Gan Mao swallowed his saliva and carefully asked his companions in the same corps.
To be fair, Qi State also had cavalry, but after seeing this cavalry with his own eyes, Gan Mao always felt that the two were not on the same level at all.
"The Northern Sichuan Cavalry is the foreign cavalry that His Royal Highness Prince Su conquered during his conquest of Sanchuan." Soldier Lebao answered Gan Mao's question simply and clearly, rarely ridiculing the laggards.
Because he was also shocked by the Northern Sichuan cavalry in front of him.
Just like Yangwu, after winning the Battle of Sanchuan, Lebao also regarded the Northern Sichuan Cavalry as the defeated general of their Shang Shui Army. However, he did not expect that this defeated general would be so brave.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that our Shang Shui Army has never had a head-on confrontation with this foreign cavalry...
There was a bit of bitterness in Le Bao's mouth.
Because to be more serious, the only ones who were defeated in the Battle of Sanchuan were the Jiejiao Tribe and its tribal leader Bitatu, and the cavalry of the original Jiejiao Tribe Alliance did not actually confront the Shangshui Army head-on. Even if they surrendered to Wei in the end,
It was just that Bitatu, the leader of the Jiejiao tribe, did not want to see his tribe completely destroyed, so he issued the last order before his death, causing the cavalry to surrender.
Just when Le Bao lost his mind, a handle was gently placed on his shoulder.
"Who?!" Gan Mao may have noticed something. He suddenly became alert from watching the battle. He turned around suddenly and saw with horror that a tall and burly foreign knight came behind them at some point and was using his hand.
He gently touched the armor on Lebao's shoulder.
This person...
Gan Mao's heart was shaken because he instinctively felt that the foreign cavalry with a whip mark on his face was by no means an ordinary soldier. At least his appearance made Gan Mao instinctively feel threatened.
"Don't get excited." Perhaps he noticed Gan Mao's preparations to swing his weapon at any time. The foreign cavalryman with whip marks on his face spoke a blunt Wei dialect and asked calmly: "Wait, it's Wei Jun.
Which one is it?"
"Shang...Shang Shuijun..." Seeing that the other party's tip was still resting on his shoulder, Le Bao didn't dare to look back and replied while swallowing his saliva.
"Shang Shui Army... hum." A complicated look flashed in the eyes of the foreign cavalry with whip marks on his face, and he hummed: "The Shang Shui Army that defeated our Jiejiao tribe was reduced to being defeated by a team of soldiers.
It’s really ridiculous to chase the vulnerable army everywhere..."
As he spoke, he slowly put down the bag on Le Bao's shoulders and asked, "Who is the general in charge of the army you are waiting for?"
"It's General Wu Ji." Soldier Li Hui replied respectfully, maybe he had recognized him.
"Oh... Wu Ji from the Shang Shui Army." The foreign cavalryman with whip marks on his face nodded, and then he drove his horse forward.
Looking at the man's leaving figure, Gan Mao said in surprise: "This man is not like an ordinary person."
Hearing this, Li Hui nodded and said: "If I remember correctly, he is the chief commander of the 50,000 Northern Sichuan Cavalry and the adopted son of Bitatu, the former leader of the Jijiao Tribe, Bosile."
"Is it him?" Soldier Yang Wu was slightly surprised, then blinked his eyes and said in disbelief: "It turns out that this guy's momentum is so strong..."
Everyone was silent.
In the ensuing battle, the Shang Shui Army seemed to be completely reduced to a soy sauce role. The Chu army that had been chasing them aggressively had no resistance under the iron cavalry of 30,000 northern Sichuan cavalry.
Looking into the distance, there were scenes of Northern Sichuan cavalry slaughtering Chu soldiers everywhere. Although the Chu soldiers tried their best to escape from here, in the end, they were still caught up by the Northern Sichuan cavalry and killed one by one.
This is not a war, this is simply a one-sided massacre!
Looking at this scene, Gan Mao, the former general of Qi State's Donglai Army, licked his lips and said with difficulty: "Hey, let me tell you... did your Shang Shui Army really defeat these people?"
Li Hui, Yang Wu, and Le Bao looked at each other. Even though they wanted to show off their glorious military exploits, they opened their mouths and were speechless when they saw the torrent of cavalry in front of them.
The reason is none other than the Northern Sichuan Cavalry. Their absolute dominance in this battle shocked and confused the Shangshui Army soldiers who were yesterday's victors.
Have we...really defeated these aliens?
I believe that there are definitely not a few Shangshui soldiers and generals who hold such doubts at this moment.
But having said that, in the face of the absolute force displayed by the Northern Sichuan cavalry, the soldiers of the Shangshui Army were just shocked and confused, while the soldiers of the Chu army who were being chased by the Northern Sichuan cavalry at this moment had no way to go to heaven.
There is no door to the ground.
Fight, can't beat.
Escape, can't escape.
It seems that the only way Chu Bingjun faces is death.
"It's over, it's all over..."
General Gongsun Po, who was the commander-in-chief of the battlefield in the western suburbs of Shouying, was already slumped on his war horse from Bashu.
He was not as ignorant as ordinary Chu soldiers who mistook those war horses for terrifying monsters.
He was just frightened by the scene before him.
The charge of 30,000 cavalrymen from Northern Sichuan shook the mountains, as if the whole earth was trembling.
Seeing Gongsun Po standing there stupidly, the deputy general Gongsun Ao shouted urgently: "General, retreat quickly!"
"Retreat?...Ah, retreat!"
In full view of everyone, Gongsun Po turned his horse's head and fled backwards desperately, regardless of his dignity as a great nobleman and general.
Sun Shuao frowned, but at this moment, even he couldn't blame Gongsun Po. After all, the cavalry that ambushed them was too terrifying.
The problem is...
Can you escape?
Looking back at the foreign cavalry who were slaughtering the Chu soldiers under his command, Sun Shuao gritted his teeth and clamped his legs tightly on the war horse from Bashu under his crotch.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his whole body trembled violently.
So that's it, that's it... You are so cruel, Mr. Wei Ji Run...
At this moment, Sun Shuao finally figured something out.
He originally thought that this battle was because the Shang Shui army fell into his trap, but in fact, he fell into the trap of Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
What made him ashamed and angry was that the strategy used by the other party was exactly the same as his. (To be continued.)
