Chapter 267 The Power of the Iron Cavalry
The iron cavalry galloped, and the momentum was extremely strong. It crashed into the enemy's ranks. The iron armor on the chest of the war horses hit the enemy's body, knocking them out. Under such a terrifying impact, every enemy soldier was squirting blood, broken bones and tendons, and no one could stop the powerful impact of this terrifying iron horse.
The cavalry immediately waved the extremely sharp long-handled steel knife and slashed all over the sky. The sharp blade instantly tore the armor of the Youzhou soldiers, and blood splattered in the wind.
Thirty thousand Youzhou soldiers were already defeated and fled, and ran desperately regardless of the formation. When they encountered these heavy cavalry full of iron armor, they had no power to fight back. They were immediately knocked over by the enemy and broke into the formation and killed them wildly. The screams were heard, and a thousand iron cavalry let go and slashed and killed them, and their bodies were covered with blood. The eyes exposed outside the protective armor were full of murderous aura, like a group of murderous monsters.
Seeing these crazi monsters who killed people like mow grass slaughtering their comrades in groups, the fear in the Youzhou army was beyond words, and they all ran wildly and fled from all directions, just wanting to be as far away as possible from these terrifying monsters. Some people were so scared that they even threw away their belongings that they regarded as life on the ground. As long as they could run faster and keep their lives, they would ignore anything.
When Zou Dan saw his subordinates being killed by the enemy, his heart was as if he was stolen, but he didn't know how to save these poor subordinates. Suddenly, his mind had a sudden inspiration and shouted: "Drop all the money in your hands and let the enemy pick it up! They only care about picking up money, but they don't care about chasing you!"
When the soldiers of Youzhou heard this, although they couldn't bear to give up these things they had stolen, they didn't care about so much for their lives, so they had to throw their belongings on the ground and escape with ease. Some soldiers saw the iron cavalry of the camp behind them chasing them, so they simply threw their belongings hard towards them, hoping that they would save their lives for the sake of the money.
Seeing the bags carrying wealth flying towards him, the cavalry snorted coldly, and the steel knife slashed, shattering the bags in the air, and the fine and soft things fell into the air. The steel knife did not stop, drew an arc in the air, slashing heavily, and slashed hard on the face of the Youzhou army soldiers who threw the bags. The Youzhou army soldiers screamed, their faces were covered in blood, and they fell to the ground, staring at their terrifying eyes, and refused to believe that there was such a person who was unfaithful and had already paid for his life. He had to take this harsh action and kill him.
Most of the soldiers in Youzhou had already left their wealth, and the ground was covered with bags of wealth. However, the cavalrymen in the camp ignored them and only focused on chasing and killing the defeated soldiers. No one dismounted to pick up the property.
The King of Wuwei's military orders are like a mountain, and no one dares to disobey it. They all know that greed for money at the moment of battle is a death sentence. The King of Wuwei has already spoken that these spoils will be distributed to everyone sooner or later. Why should I give my useful life for something I must get?
Seeing that his subordinates were disciplined, Gao Shun was happy and held his big sword and shouted sternly: "Zou Dan, do you have the courage to turn around and fight?"
Zou Dan didn't care about his provocation. Seeing that his trick was not effective, he panicked and fled to the north.
Gao Shun led a thousand iron cavalry to chase and kill them all the way. The sharp sword waved wildly in the air, and countless deserters were killed in the wilderness, with corpses all over the ground and blood stained the wilderness.
Zou Dan no longer cared about the soldiers behind and only led the front team to flee in a hurry. Suddenly, a cavalry stopped in front of him, each wearing alien costumes, carrying a scimitar on his waist, holding a crossbow in his hands, looking at the defeated Youzhou soldiers, pulled the trigger and shot the crossbow arrows in the sky.
Zou Dan shouted loudly, waved his spear, and dialed the Fangcuo arrows. He finally pushed away the arrows that were shooting at him, but he screamed repeatedly behind him. When he turned around, he saw that most of his personal soldiers had been shot and killed. Many of the Youzhou soldiers behind him also fell down by arrows, and the army formation was even more chaotic.
It was Murong Lin who led this Xianbei cavalry. He shot out five crossbow arrows in a row, and he felt relieved. He knew that he had completely mastered the high-tech weapon, so he hung it on the horse's neck, picked up the longbow, and ordered: "The King of Wuwei has an order that he must not approach the enemy. He must attack the enemy with a powerful arrow to prevent the enemy from counterattacking!"
The three hundred Xianbei cavalry responded to the promise, raised their longbows, took sharp arrows, and shot the rain of arrows at the Youzhou army from afar.
The screams sounded again, hundreds of Youzhou soldiers fell down by arrows and could no longer get up. They only stepped on their bodies by countless big feet by their chaotic companions. The screams became less and less. When all the troops passed by them, the unlucky soldiers could no longer scream.
The rain of arrows kept shooting, and the Youzhou soldiers were shot and fell down. Behind them, there were the terrifying and powerful enemy heavy cavalry who had been chasing them. The Youzhou soldiers were attacked from front and back, worried and worried inside and outside, and were in a state of great anxiety.
Seeing the Xianbei soldiers in front of him, Zou Dan ordered his subordinates to pursue the abominable Xianbei people. However, before they could get closer, the Xianbei people had already slapped their horses and fled far away, turned around and shot sharp arrows, and shot many soldiers back and forth.
Zou Dan had no choice but to order his subordinates to run away quickly. As long as he could escape beyond the enemy's attack range, everything would be fine.
They had already escaped far away. More than ten miles north, there was a county town called the Ge Kingdom. Before Zou Dan attacked the plain, he had already captured the county town at night and ordered his generals to take more than a thousand soldiers to garrison there. Although the city was not a strong city, if he could escape and close the city gate, he would not be afraid of the attack of the cavalry.
When the soldiers heard his shouts, their thoughts of survival increased greatly, and they all ran wildly, wishing they could grow four legs and run faster than his horse.
The camp chased and killed countless people. In the wilderness north of the plain, the bodies of Youzhou soldiers were lying everywhere, most of whom were two-pointed in their heads and died tragically under the extremely sharp steel knife made by the new method.
After chasing for a long time, Gao Shun saw that the cavalry and the horses were a little tired, so he stopped the army and returned for a while and rested in the local area. However, he did not pick up the discarded property on the ground, and waited for the infantry behind to come and asked them to clean the battlefield and collect the spoils.
The Xianbei cavalry under Murong Lin's troops were very brave. They all grew up on horseback and rode horses to fight. They were not much tired than grazing and hunting on weekdays. Therefore, Murong Lin and Gao Shun informed him and took the cavalry to chase the Youzhou soldiers and left.
Under the order of King Wuwei, they did not approach the enemy, but brought enough arrows. When they saw the enemy soldiers from afar, they set off their bows and shot them sharp arrows. They actually used the Youzhou army as a target. As long as they could shoot to the enemy soldiers in the distance, they would cheer and then take another arrow to practice their long-range archery technique.
Zou Dan led his subordinates to flee all the way. Although there was a group of flies surrounding him, he finally escaped from the sky. He was both sad and angry and glad. Since he didn't have many cavalry to attack the Xianbei cavalry, he simply ignored them and only let the Youzhou soldiers who ran slowly in the back team become unlucky.
In the wilderness, more than 20,000 defeated soldiers ran away in chaos, with 300 Xianbei cavalry following behind and constantly shooting arrows into the enemy brigade. The Youzhou soldiers ignored them and just threw away their bodies and fled to the north.
After pursuing and fleeing like this for a long time, Murong Lin was a little tired, so he stopped his war horse and ordered his subordinates to rest for a while. When he was in front of Xu, General Zhang and the second general launched an attack and then went up to get the bargain.
Seeing that the enemy soldiers were no longer chasing, Zou Dan felt glad. He had been running for so long and was very tired. Although he wanted to rest, he was worried that Liu Sha would lead the army to chase him, so he had to order his subordinates and urge the soldiers to leave quickly. As long as he arrived in Gecheng, he could rest with peace of mind.
The soldiers in Youzhou were almost broken. Even though they were beaten and scolded by their superiors, they were too lazy to leave and just wanted to sit and rest. Now, seeing that the enemy was no longer chasing, many soldiers fell back and rested, allowing their superiors to whip them with whips, but refused to get up.
Zou Dan was unable to do so, so he had to order the entire army to sit down and rest, and wait for his strength to recover before running forward.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves came from the south. The Youzhou soldiers looked up in panic and saw the thousand iron cavalry of the camp coming from the south. In addition to Gao Shun holding a big sword, the leading general also had a Dian Wei holding a double iron halberd!
When they saw this person, the soldiers of Youzhou were all afraid. General Tian Kai was so brave that he was cut off his head by a halberd. Who in this army could resist such force?
Dian Wei was full of excitement, and he rushed towards the enemy who was sitting and resting in the ground.
Since he entered the city, he received the order from King Wuwei, asking him to lead the remaining dozens of cavalry of his team to help Gao Shun and chase the enemy. Dian Wei was not satisfied with the killing. After hearing the lord's order, he was very happy and immediately received the order and rushed out of the city to catch up with Gao Shun. As soon as the soldiers of the camp had already rested for a while, and had enough energy, he ran with him and chased northward.
Long-distance raids are the most intensive. Gao Shun was worried that the horse could not hold on to such a large amount of consumption, so he ordered the soldiers to take off the armor and horse suit and throw it on the ground. He only wore light leather armor to facilitate long-distance pursuit of enemy soldiers.
Gao Shun left some soldiers to take care of the thick armor piled on the ground, took a thousand light cavalry, and led his army to the north with Dian Wei.
On the way, they looked at the bodies of Youzhou soldiers who fell from an arrow all the way and chased them to Murong Lin. When they heard him talk about the direction of the enemy's defeat and fleeing, the two led their troops to chase them. They happened to see Youzhou soldiers resting on the ground. Just as they wanted, they immediately rushed to cover up and killed them.
