The Emperor of Heavens

Chapter 321 Heavy Cavalry

With such a gap, the combat effectiveness of the two sides with the same equipment is completely incomparable.

The first to be hit was the confrontation between infantry and cavalry. The infantry of Tiandou and Xingluo approached Jialing Pass at the same time.

At this time, they should first use artillery or long-range weapons to consume the opponent's strength or break up the opponent's formation, but the Wuhun Empire chose to use cavalry to open the way.

The two empires looked at the cavalry that was a little different from the heavy cavalry they knew, and didn't pay too much attention. As long as the opponent was not a soul master, the armies of the two empires would not be weaker than the Wuhun Empire's army in a head-on battle.

However, unlike what they expected, the crushing was too huge.

Infantry had always crushed cavalry, but this was the first time that they were torn apart so directly, and Xing Luo's heavy infantry was also torn apart directly.

The marshals of both sides ordered a defensive formation but they did not expect that the heavy cavalry of the Wuhun Empire would retreat after just one charge.

This made them a little confused. Is this how a war is fought? Although they didn't know what tactics Zhou Long was using, the two empires' generals were not pushovers. They directly ordered the defensive formation to advance. Although this would slow down the march, it would focus on defense.

Teacher, what do you think happened? Tang San kept looking at Zhou Long on the wall of Jialing Pass. When he came to his senses, Tang San, who had sworn that his army would not lose, saw that they were crushed to pieces in the first battle.

Yu Xiaogang and Xue Beng were watching the battle from behind, and they also saw the battle in front of them. But they had always fought like this before, but they had never seen such a crushing victory.

Although Yu Xiaogang heard Tang San's question, his eyes never left the battle in front of him.

This is a group of cavalry armed to the teeth. The purpose of heavy cavalry in the past was to break the formation. But now this army obviously did not do that. I am not sure about this. But I heard that the army of the Wuhun Empire was trained by Bibi Dong, so the strength of this army must be strong.

I think we should not rush to attack now, but wait and see the opponent's next move. Yu Xiaogang said what he was thinking. Although it was a revelation to Xue Beng and Tang San, a military idiot, Zhou Long would feel that he was on par with Zhuge Liang.

Although Zhou Long fell into his inner demons and his temperament changed drastically, he did not become an idiot, although the army of the Wuhun Empire was indeed trained by Bibi Dong.

However, Zhou Long is responsible for the ideological work, food, housing, transportation and even welfare of the army, which is one of the reasons why the army of Wuhun Empire is so small. The army is simply a bottomless pit, and it takes a lot of money to pour it into it.

As for the heavy cavalry this time, it was also created by Zhou Long. In the past, the heavy cavalry in Douluo Continent all relied on heavy armor and had a single fighting style.

However, the heavy cavalry that Zhou Long created was different. Each one of them was carefully selected, and the food and military expenses were several times higher than those of other armies.

Moreover, their horses were specially selected and each person was equipped with five horses, which was very expensive, so the total number of troops did not exceed 50,000. This was when Zhou Long specially spent money on this army.

Such cavalry not only have heavy weapons, but also are wrapped in armor. They have multiple weapons instead of just one, and because they are cavalry, their speed is much faster than that of infantry, but still not as fast as light cavalry.

Such an army has a famous name in the history of Zhou Long's world called Iron Pagoda.

The first charge was just an appetizer, now this is the main course.

Five thousand heavy cavalry rushed towards the two imperial armies. Under the deliberate adjustments of the two empires, both Xingluo and Tiandou were now heavy infantry with a number of more than 100,000.

This time they decided to bring down this army at all costs, but they were wrong.

If it was Zhou Long in the past, his fighting style would be very simple: soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. But now Zhou Long is not normal, cruelty is his byword.

The target of the Douluo Continent version of Iron Pagoda is not the 100,000 infantry in front of it but the enemy's base camp. Fighting cavalry against infantry on the grassland is simply courting death.

Under the huge impact, 100,000 infantrymen were almost dispersed, but one-third of the infantrymen still broke through the defense and rushed straight to the enemy's front cavalry.

And they shouted that they would definitely die if they broke through the enemy lines.

It dealt a great mental shock to the armies of Tiandou and Xingluo. This kind of fearless fighting style does exist, but not every army has it.

It is true that there are fearless soldiers in the armies of the two empires, but they will not act rashly, as they are mainly defending against sneak attacks from the other side. To put it bluntly, they will not use their trump cards easily, but now the other side has used their trump cards, which caught them off guard.

The two marshals looked at the heavy cavalryman who refused to surrender alone not far ahead, and felt deep admiration and fear. What they feared most now was that this was the Wuhun Empire's trump card. Otherwise, if everyone they met was like this, they would not be able to defeat the other side even in the army. Even if they were captured alive, the cavalryman who chose to commit suicide would still be killed. And the smile on his mouth and the madness in his eyes made all the soldiers of the two empires stand on end. Monster, such a voice sounded in their hearts at the same time and it became more and more intense.

Next came ten thousand, a massive army of ten thousand heavy cavalry who began to charge.

All infantry and heavy cavalry, stand out and form a defensive formation. Hold on, archers, prepare to attack from a distance. This was an order given by the two imperial marshals at the same time.

In the distance, Dai Yutian and Xue Beng were dumbfounded. Even Dai Yutian, who had seen many storms, had never expected that the Spirit Hall could come up with such an army.

He was not afraid of the enemy's fighting power but of their fearless spirit. What he feared most in war was such an army.

If you are strong and he is weak, such an army will definitely be able to bite a piece of meat off you. What if he is strong? The answer to this question is obvious: it is the result of a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Xue Beng, the military idiot, was afraid of the fighting power, and Yu Xiaogang was also in the front commanding the annihilation of the army that rushed in. Seeing that he could not be captured alive, Yu Xiaogang also ordered to kill them on the spot.

Tang San fell into deep thought. What kind of belief could make them so fearless and fearless? What on earth were they fighting so hard for? Tang San could not see fear in these dead Wuhun Empire soldiers, nor could he see the relief after being forced. Instead, he could see the hope hidden under the bloodlust and cruelty.

The two marshals felt their hearts bleeding when they saw the disproportionate number of soldiers falling in the rear. There had never been such a high proportion of casualties under the protection of a heavy army, even in history.
