Chapter 1335: Chapter 326: Stars_5

On the tower, Chi Mingyi saw this scene and opened his mouth wide. It wasn’t a deliberate performance, nor was he exaggerating. Right now, this was his expression and also his... state of mind.

The development of the battle from the first contact gave him a heavy blow!

How could this be,

How could it be possible,

How can it be like this!

Chi Mingyi kept repeating and roaring these words in his heart.

He knew that these charging cavalrymen, when they threw themselves and their horses out like sandbags, had already realized that this was a near death mission!

Because this collision and this impact would cause them to fall among the Chu people, but that wasn’t the main problem. Without the Chu even having to come and kill them, they might already be seriously injured, disabled, or even... crushed to death by the violent impact!

Yet the impact they caused was immense.

Firstly, on horseback, as long as luck wasn’t too bad, they could basically take down one or even two or three Chu soldiers. Secondly, the collision of themselves and their horses could also break open a small area.

And when thousands, two thousand of them smashed down like this, the Chu army that seemed invincible started to topple like dominoes, from the front row, like wheat being cut down, piece by piece falling, with both wings continuously retreating, and the central army as well as the rear army involuntarily moving backward.

Like sticking a finger into the yolk of an egg that was cracked in a bowl.

Adding to this, the reason for those six giant crossbows made the gap in the Chu central army break open. Even before the second wave of cavalry led by Jin Shuke arrived, some of the wildmen cavalry had already charged into the gap in the Chu central army!

In other words,

Not only had they broken out the gap in the Chu army formation, but they succeeded in penetrating inside!

This penetration meant that the Chu army formation could no longer maneuver or mobilize.

The King of the Wildmen’s mount also jumped high, but he was clever enough to jump off his horse in the middle.

So, when the horse smashed forward, he landed safely on the ground.

Soon, however, a saber bearer swung his axe down on him.

"Buzz!"

A saber, much quicker, cut through the saber bearer’s wrist. Sang Hu arrived in time and kicked the saber bearer down.

Immediately,

Sang Hu turned his head to look at the King of the Wildmen, a smile appeared on his lips.

The King of the Wildmen narrowly escaped death and was just about to smile when he saw Sang Hu suddenly kneeling on one knee in front of him, leaning against his saber.

Gou Moli’s eyes lowered,

Seeing the remaining part of the long spear embedded in Sang Hu’s abdomen.

The rest had been cut off by himself.

Sang Hu, undoubtedly a master, but amidst the clash of thousands of troops, even masters are but larger ants.

Yet, regardless, Sang Hu still opened his mouth and said:

"King, I protect you."

The King of the Wildmen immediately shouted:

"Then get up quickly, kill a few more for me before you die!"

"Heh heh."

...

"How was it?" Lord Zheng looked at the Sword Saint.

"Still comparing it to the battle beneath the Snow Sea Pass then?" the Sword Saint asked.

"Yes."

"I’m tired of it, I don’t want to compare."

"That’s really not cooperative." Lord Zheng shook his head, sighed, and said: "Long ago, I actually thought that a cavalry charge should just directly crash straight into the enemy’s troops."

That’s the stereotype influenced by media works in my previous life.

"Later, I learned that cavalry shouldn’t be used like this. I once accompanied the Northern Army southward to Qian State. The Qian people were actually good at military formations too.

At that time, the Northern Army was harassing, compressing, and intimidating externally, gradually and step by step, forcing the Qian people to show signs of collapse before delivering a powerful blow to shatter them in one stroke!

Infantry is like lambs waiting to be slaughtered before cavalry.

Generally, you wouldn’t directly charge head-on from the start, do you know why?"

The Sword Saint shook his head.

"Because cavalry is expensive and cost-effective, but this is just a matter of cost. In fact, if you just go directly toward their heads, charge, and smash, the effect will definitely be very good!

Take now as an example,

The effect,

is really very good.

Among these three thousand wildmen cavalry, after the battle, I estimate that less than one in ten will survive, but this battle has already become simple."

As he spoke,

Lord Zheng began to maneuver his Pixiu forward.

The Sword Saint curiously asked: "Since this battle is about to be won, why do you still want to advance?"

"If the momentum isn’t good, if it turns into a prolonged battle, I must go forward to boost morale."

"But now, even I can see the situation is excellent."

"Then I must go even more!"

The Sword Saint realized,

and said:

"Indeed."

Immediately,

Lord Zheng’s command flag began to advance forward.

At this time,

The second batch of cavalry led by Jin Shuke charged, cutting further into the gap created by the wildmen cavalry.

What was once only a fingernail cut was now stabbed open like being dug out by a knife!

The Chu army formation was completely disrupted, the vine armor soldiers began to fall into a state of fighting their own battles. They couldn’t form any kind of formation anymore.

They could no longer stop the Yan people from continuing into the village, only instinctively going to kill the Yan cavalry in front of them or being suddenly struck down by the Yan cavalry coming from behind.

Before Lord Zheng’s command flag entered Yangshan Village,

The third batch of cavalry led by Liang Cheng also charged into Yangshan Village, but Liang Cheng did not continue directing the troops to charge into the center because there was already an accumulation of their own cavalry there, adding more wood to the fire had no meaning.
