"Kill the enemy, perform meritorious service, and get the reward!"
More than 20,000 alliance troops, armed with steel swords and spears, looked like crazy, fighting in a melee with 5,000 fire cavalry.
Relying on high morale and more than four times the opponent's numerical suppression, they actually pushed back this high-level cavalry that the Lihuo Leader was proud of.
Even the tenacious Fire Cavalry, whose strength level far exceeds that of the Alliance soldiers, is unable to save the situation.
On the earth, the entire battlefield has turned into a paradise of blood and fire. Thousands of heroic soldiers wearing fiery red armor have become the targets of alliance soldiers seeking credit.
Almost everyone was jointly attacked by four or five soldiers around them. They tried their best to parry but could not resist for long before they were chopped over with random knives and blood spattered on the spot.
The heads were cut off by the excited soldiers and taken away as trophies. The scene was once very bloody and cruel.
but……
This is war!
The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, this is the eternal theme of Lord Continent.
Mu Chen was a little uncomfortable with such violent and bloody scenes at first, but he gradually got used to it after seeing it more. After all, the memory of the lord in his mind kept alerting him, allowing him to quickly adapt to all this.
In order to become the strongest lord, this kind of war will be the norm in his future life.
Mu Chen kept reminding himself in his mind, his face gradually returned to calm, and he slowly looked at the entire battlefield.
Suddenly, he saw several Alliance soldiers in the distance swarming up and chopping a Fire Army soldier into pieces, stabbing the Fire-Hoofed Horse to death with a red glare.
He felt distressed immediately and almost shed tears.
"Oh, these idiots who are wasting their natural resources are just killing the enemy. Don't touch my horse..."
Muchen rubbed his hands nervously, looked up at the chaotic battlefield, and looked at the fallen horse with hoofed fire. He felt extremely sad and shook his head.
The battle is not over yet, but he already regards the opponent's five thousand high-level war horses as his own.
After all, in his opinion, the most important asset of this high-level cavalry is these five thousand high-level war horses!
Those soldiers were all born and raised in the Lihuo Territory. After countless professional trainings and distant family ties, it was almost impossible to conquer them unless Mu Chen could capture the Lihuo Territory and become their new lord.
But this goal is unlikely to be achieved in the short term...
Therefore, these five thousand war horses made him value even more. After all, these were not ordinary war horses, but high-level war horses that could travel five thousand miles a day!
War horses are extremely important strategic resources for any territory. Not only are a large number of war horses needed to form a powerful cavalry unit, but war horses are also indispensable for territorial expeditions.
The higher the level of the war horse, the stronger the cavalry unit formed!
The cavalry is always the most feared among conventional arms. Its mobility is unparalleled. It can travel thousands of miles and kill with one strike.
It can gallop freely on the plains, giving full play to its speed advantage, and after being equipped with heavy armor, its impact is even more amazing.
A simple charge, without any other bells and whistles, can easily crush an army of tens of thousands, and it is not difficult to even penetrate an army of hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, the Lord's Continent is vast and boundless, and its territories are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. Long-distance campaigns are absolutely indispensable with the support of excellent war horses.
After all, although this world is a fantasy world of swords and magic, as far as he knows, space magicians are still extremely rare, and even the legendary space teleportation magic circle is also very rare.
Moreover, the cost is huge and it is not suitable for large-scale armies. Therefore, currently, lord expeditions on the lord continent generally rely on war horses to travel long distances...
A good war horse is worth thousands of gold!
Assembling a high-level cavalry requires investing a large amount of gold coins and countless resources to cultivate a qualified high-level cavalry.
Although Mu Zhiling has plenty of food, no worries about food and drink, and a fairly well-off family, it is still impossible to assemble a high-level cavalry by its own strength.
High-end war horses alone are a big problem. On the market, even the most ordinary high-end war horse that can travel three thousand miles a day costs dozens of gold coins!
An excellent high-end war horse like this that travels five thousand miles a day is impossible to buy without hundreds of gold coins.
A high-level war horse costs hundreds of gold coins, and forming a minimum-scale 500 high-level cavalry unit requires 500 high-level war horses.
That’s a total expense of 50,000 gold coins!
What is the concept of fifty thousand gold coins?
The currency system of this world is similar to that of ordinary fantasy worlds, divided into three types: copper coins, silver coins and gold coins.
One gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, which is equal to ten thousand copper coins, and the purchasing power of copper coins is about the same as the RMB of the Chinese dynasty on earth in the previous life.
In other words, one gold coin is equivalent to approximately 10,000 yuan.
And fifty thousand gold coins, that’s five hundred million!
A minimum scale of 500 high-level cavalry would cost 500 million just to purchase high-level war horses, not counting other weapons, armor, military pay, food and grass...
From this we can also imagine how expensive it is to assemble a fully armed high-level cavalry unit!
It's simply a bottomless pit.
Ordinary lords really don't have the ability to form high-level cavalry troops, and they only use ordinary cavalry formed by the most common war horses.
An ordinary war horse can travel thousands of miles a day and is only worth tens of silver coins. A slightly wealthy territory can generally afford to raise it.
For example, Mu Zhiling's current white war horse is an ordinary war horse. Each one costs only twenty silver coins. More than five hundred horses cost ten thousand silver coins and more than one hundred gold coins.
The equivalent of RMB is just over one million, which is extremely cheap compared to RMB 500 million...
War horses are hard to find, and high-end war horses are even more expensive. But now you have the opportunity to get thousands of high-end war horses without spending a penny!
How could Muchen calm down like this?
He would be heartbroken if one of them died. After all, it was only a hundred gold coins...
Seeing several high-level war horses being stabbed to death by Chi Yu, Mu Chen could no longer hold his nerve and quickly waved his hand and ordered all the ambush troops to come out.
"boom!"
On the battlefield, the Fire Cavalry was retreating steadily, and the fighting became more and more difficult. They retreated step by step, eager to escape from the battlefield.
But at this moment, behind them, they suddenly remembered a cry of killing, and two armies shot out diagonally, blocking the way back.
The leaders are Dongchuan Hero and Commander Shiraishi!
They had been ordered to lead troops to lurk in the valleys on both sides. They planned to act as a surprise force to surprise and cut off the retreat when the war was unfavorable, thus saving the situation.
But now the plan has changed. The general was defeated and captured, which directly caused this invincible high-level cavalry to lose their fighting spirit, their morale was sluggish, and they were defeated like a mountain.
The strange soldiers had lost their meaning, and Mu Chen let them come out directly to clean up the mess.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
As the two hidden soldiers came out and blocked the escape route, the war was no longer suspense, and the Fire Army was in despair.
At this time, Mu Chen also took the opportunity to shout at people and force them to surrender with the momentum of victory.
Facing the wolves and tigers of the Alliance army around them, and looking at the swords in their hands that were eager to try, the Fire Cavalry wisely chose to surrender.
Since then, the proud Fire Army was basically wiped out. More than 2,000 people were killed on the spot, and 3,000 surrendered. Mu Chen successfully captured more than 4,000 high-level war horses, which can be said to be a great victory!
