Chapter Nine hundred and thirtieth. Hard just now is the last word
Thousands of cavalry from the southern frontier army rushed over at extremely fast speeds, and their target was the rear formation of the cowardly army.
Qin Kaikai had watched carefully. In order to cope with the Jiangzhou soldiers' offensive, Lin Ye had transferred all the archers and heavy crossbows to the camp.
They came from the flank of the camp, and the cowardly army probably didn't have enough energy left to form a thick arrow formation to stop them.
The terrain here is flat and the cavalry can speed up. As long as they charge into the rear of the Cowardly Army, the Cowardly Army with only 20,000 troops will collapse in an instant.
Because of the terrain of southern Xinjiang, these few thousand cavalry were the entire cavalry force under Guo Geming's command.
There are many mountains and rain forests in southern Xinjiang, and the enemies we have to face are also barbaric tribes living in the mountains and rain forests.
Therefore, the cavalry cannot actually exert its advantage in such a place.
Guo Geming, who has more than 200,000 troops, only has these few thousand cavalry. Of course, they are his heart and soul, and he cherishes them very much.
If he didn't come to fight against cowardice, he would be reluctant to use these thousands of cavalry.
The number of cavalry is not large, but the equipment is extremely well-equipped.
Thousands of horsemen charged directly at Lin Ye's rear army in a sharp formation.
Just as we were about to reach the edge of the camp, suddenly the row of horses in front fell down almost simultaneously.
Only then did they realize with horror that the cowardly army had hidden special anti-horses outside the camp.
These resisting horses were buried under the sand. Seeing the enemy cavalry approaching, the cowardly soldiers in the camp suddenly pulled up the ropes, and the row of resisting horses immediately stood up diagonally.
Many war horses collided with the horses without any reaction under the rapid charge, and were directly stabbed into the chest by the sharpened wood with thick legs, and some horses were directly disemboweled.
The man turned his back on his horse.
At this time, a defensive array consisting of approximately two thousand archers was formed.
They also hid in the tent and rushed out quickly when the horsemen knocked down many cavalrymen.
There are not many of them, and the weapons available to them are very special.
Each arrow is sent out and explodes after hitting the target.
These are special bows and arrows that are only equipped by the Forbidden Army. Even in the Forbidden Army, not everyone has them, because these arrows are not meant to deal with ordinary soldiers.
Because the Supreme Saint cannot practice cultivation, he is particularly concerned about using the army to deal with powerful monks.
Some of these equipment were originally developed by Yu Lingwei, and some were developed by Shangyang Palace.
In the final analysis, all martial arts in the world can be said to come from Shangyang. People from Shangyang Palace came forward to develop these things. You can imagine how terrible it is.
Even those arrows that do not hit the target will explode after flying to a certain distance, which is extremely powerful.
A feather arrow flew in the air, exploded without warning, the arrow cluster shattered, and countless fragments shot out.
The cavalryman next to him had no idea what was going on and casually shot him through the temple.
A row of horsemen blocked the frontier cavalry, and the power of the archers was beyond imagination.
The stopped cavalry became the prey of the archers.
If they could rush in, those archers, who had almost no defense at all, would only be their targets for massacre, but now the situation was reversed.
After Lin Ye saw that the frontier cavalry was blocked, he strode back.
On the south bank, he had already attracted all Jiangzhou soldiers ashore according to his original plan. Next, it was time for him to defeat the border troops.
After defeating the enemy's cavalry, the next step is to look at the cowardly and refined cavalry!
No one should forget that when Lin Ye first created Coward, his goal from the beginning to the end was to create the strongest cavalry in the world.
At the rear camp, five thousand elite cavalry are waiting in full formation.
There are about 10,000 troops on the south bank, and together with a hundred heavy crossbows, they form an almost indestructible city wall.
On the flank, Lin Ye had no intention of just defending without attacking.
"They thought that with ten times the strength of my troops, they could kill me for being so cowardly!"
Lin Ye jumped up, turned over and mounted the Zhao Ye Qilin.
When he stretched his hand forward, the quicksand formation knives gathered in his hand.
"Only coward has always bullied others, no one in the world can bully coward!"
Lin Ye urged his horse forward.
"kill!"
"kill!"
Five thousand fine knights let out a roar that shook the world.
This cavalry, armed to the teeth, is not a light cavalry, but a heavy cavalry!
Even though a hundred thousand were timid, they could only build five thousand heavy cavalry.
Not only are the requirements for knights extremely stringent, but the requirements for war horses are equally stringent. The most important thing is that they cost money.
Lin Ye's Cowardly Army can be said to be the richest team in the world. Even so, even if there are suitable knights and suitable horses, the number of five thousand is already the limit that Lin Ye Cowardly can support.
This was a tactic that Lin Ye had formulated from the beginning, to lure the frontier cavalry out of the large group and then destroy them.
The frontier troops who had lost their cavalry had nearly 100,000 people running wildly across the plains. Just imagine, at this time, they had 5,000 heavy armored cavalry...
Who said that if you fight 20,000 people against hundreds of thousands, you have to escape?
Who said that to defeat hundreds of thousands with 20,000 people, we can only rely on strange techniques?
Who says that 20,000 people cannot stand up to hundreds of thousands of enemies?
"attack!"
Five thousand heavy cavalry came riding on the ground.
A heavy-armored charge, facing infantry who had already run for nearly twenty miles, then...all beings are equal.
When the Nanzhou frontier troops who had been running for twenty miles saw the heavy armored cavalry rumbling in front, unprecedented fear appeared in everyone's eyes.
Five thousand pieces of heavy armor, like a moving mountain, directly crushed the troops of the Nanzhou frontier army, leaving a red mark of equal width on the ground where they were crushed.
All the heavy armored cavalry lowered their horses slantingly, with the stern points probably pointing to the left and right sides of the infantry's chests.
In this case, it has the same effect as harvesting wheat.
Just move forward.
A Nanzhou frontier soldier was stabbed through the chest by a horse. He could not break free and was pushed forward by the heavy armored cavalry.
There was a feeling of impact on the back, and a cavalryman was penetrated by a horse.
The majestic knight holding the pole lowered the pole again, and the two people hanging on it slipped down.
But they were not allowed to react, and they were trampled by horse hooves.
It's not just one or two horseshoes, it's a thick array.
Wherever he passed, people were trampled into a mess.
If someone could look down from high in the sky at this time, the numerous southern frontier troops would look like a large wheat field, and the five thousand heavy armors would look like a row of rampaging harvesters.
Straight crushing.
When Qin Kaikai saw this scene, his liver and gallbladder were about to burst.
He knew he had been cheated.
I was deceived by Lin Ye's plan.
They only felt that since the investigation revealed that Lin Ye only had 20,000 people, there was of course only one result left.
He and Liu Ting'an had a combined force of 150,000 or 60,000 troops. How come they couldn't defeat 20,000 people?
That's why he impatiently asked the cavalry to attack the rear formation of the Qiongmang army, in order to wash away the formation of the Qimang army and create more opportunities for the Jiangzhou soldiers. Of course, he hoped that the Jiangzhou soldiers and the Qimang soldiers would fight to the death.
But now there are 5,000 heavily armored soldiers plowing the fields as well as nearly 100,000 infantrymen.
On the other side, Liu Ting'an thought victory was coming soon and kept urging his troops to attack crazily.
When his subsequent teams pressed up layer by layer and died layer by layer, he was surprised to find that maybe he had guessed wrong again.
Lin Ye didn't want to seize the ship at all. He didn't want to go to the south bank to seize the food and grass.
Everything Lin Ye had arranged before was just to deceive him.
It convinced him that as long as Lin Ye's cowardly army was held on the shore, they would be the winners.
Lin Ye formulated a strategy, which was to attack and defend.
To deal with the Jiangzhou soldiers, they would use a tight defense to consume their troops; to deal with the southern border troops, they would use heavy armor to charge.
A whoop.
One hundred heavy platoon crossbows released another huge killing intent. How lethal would the two thousand heavy crossbow arrows that flew out be to the intensively attacking Jiangzhou Army?
From the shore to the camp of the Cowardly Army, there is only sixty or seventy feet, and the range of the crossbow exceeds this distance.
In other words, as soon as Jiangzhou soldiers and horses landed ashore, they were within the strike range of the heavy crossbows.
If there were officials from Dayu's Ministry of War present at this time, they would definitely sigh with emotion.
Okay, I don't blame Lin Ye for plundering the Ministry of War like a bandit.
If Gao Qisheng, the general of the Forbidden Army, was present, he would definitely not be able to help but sigh.
Okay... I will live up to my helpless patience when you searched for me.
From the very beginning, Lin Ye planned to use these 20,000 brave men to fight against a total of more than 150,000 enemies!
Cowardly, there is no precedent for avoiding war!
A layer of crossbow arrows and a layer of blood, within this short area of 60 to 70 feet, the corpses of Jiangzhou soldiers had completely covered the ground.
Even if the Jiangzhou soldiers were lucky enough to attack nearby and avoid being hunted by heavy crossbows, what awaited them was the arrow formation of the cowardly army.
All the actions of the cowardly army before were aimed at luring the enemy to attack.
This kind of temptation reached its climax when the soldiers attacked to seize the ship.
Under this situation, Liu Ting'an could not judge Lin Ye's true intention at all.
Seeing his subordinates who came ashore being shot dead in large numbers, Liu Ting'an's eyes were so red that they looked like they were about to bleed.
"Where's Qin Kaikai!"
Liu Tingan roared: "Why haven't Qin Kaikai's people come up yet!"
"General..."
The scout who came to report the news looked frightened and stammered: "Qin Kaikai's Nanzhou soldiers were... chased and killed."
"impossible!"
Liu Ting'an said angrily: "Qin Kaikai has a hundred thousand troops, what does Lin Ye have! We have at least ten thousand cowardly troops defending here, and his side only has seven or eight thousand troops at most. His one hundred thousand troops cannot defeat seven or eight thousand troops."
Human? Still being hunted?!"
Liu Ting'an, who had only been focused on commanding and had not gone to see the Nanzhou Army battlefield in time, simply did not believe what the scout said. It was impossible for anyone to believe it, let alone him.
"General, you can... you can go up and see for yourself."
That's all the scout could say.
Liu Ting'an grabbed the clairvoyant, strode to a relatively high place, raised the clairvoyant and looked over there, his Adam's apple moved up and down involuntarily.
Indeed...100,000 people were hunted down by thousands more.
On the ground, those five thousand heavy armors were crushing back and forth unreasonably.
One charge crushed through the Nanzhou soldiers' ranks, killing them from one side to the other, leaving a wide bloodstain on the ground.
Then the heavy armor went around in a circle and then came back and plowed again.
Just cut and roll back and forth like this.
Not to mention being attacked by heavy armored cavalry while marching in such a scattered formation, even with a tight formation, if there were not enough spearmen, it would be impossible to stop the heavy armor.
The Nanzhou border army has no spearmen at all, because they are targeting the barbaric tribes in the deep mountains and rain forests of southern Xinjiang.
The spearmen could hardly exert any power in this environment.
Therefore, soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang are all swordsmen, and in order to facilitate fighting in the rain forest, the knives they use are generally shorter, and some use scimitars.
Fighting in the rainforest requires lightness, flexibility, and physical strength, so the Nanzhou frontier army did not have heavy armored infantry at all.
That unit has no meaning at all in the rain forest.
Therefore, five thousand cowards and heavy armors have no natural enemies on such a battlefield, let alone natural enemies, and there are no enemies who can even restrain them.
A forest of spearmen is one of the few useful ways to deal with heavy armored cavalry.
Scimitar?
Basically meaningless.
At this time, Lin Ye suddenly opened his arms and stretched them to both sides.
The heavy armored cavalry that was originally charging in a dense array separated and turned into a huge rake, starting to expand the area to harvest lives.
At this time, Qin Kaikai knew that there was nothing he could do to save his life.
On the other side, Liu Ting'an, who saw this scene, put down the clairvoyance in his hand dejectedly.
