Chapter 937: Surprise soldiers (1)
Translator: 549690339
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
Cannons and crossbow bolts exploded in both camps. The shock waves and broken pieces of metal from the explosions were fatal to ordinary soldiers.
In terms of large-scale lethal weapons, the Army of Da Feng crushed the Army of the Kang Kingdom, which was one of the reasons why Da Feng ruled the land of the nine prefectures. Even though the witchcraft cult had secretly occupied a large number of cannons and ballistae over the years, they lacked the maintenance of warlocks, and the performance of their magic weapons and the power of their cannonballs were greatly reduced.
Furthermore, magic tools were constantly being replaced, and there was a huge difference in the performance of old weapons compared to new ones.
Nangong qianrou led the heavy cavalrymen out of the base camp, out of the firing range of the cannons and ballistae, and began to charge from the right side of the Kang Kingdom’s Army.
The Kang Kingdom’s Army quickly realized that the heavy cavalrymen were approaching. They kept their cannons and mounted crossbows unchanged and exchanged fire with the great Feng’s Army. The archers and Musketeers fired at them one after another.
Attack the 10000-strong heavy cavalry.
After a few rounds of firing, the archers and Musketeers retreated decisively. At this time, a group of 3000 cavalrymen with mo sabers rushed out of the Kang Kingdom’s Army.
The mo saber had risen in the early days of the great Zhou. It weighed more than eighty Jin and was cast from fine iron. Only the top-class soldiers could hold it. In the past, the great Zhou had no warlocks and relied on the twenty thousand mo saber Army to be invincible.
Every mo swordsman was at the peak of the spirit refinement realm, and they could easily wield their mo sabers. Under their mo sabers, both men and horses were crushed, and they were specialized in dealing with heavy cavalry.
The great Zhou Dynasty was a country that was truly founded on martial arts, and it was the most glorious dynasty.
In the middle and late stages of the great Zhou, the country’s strength weakened and the mo saber Army’s reputation declined. In Da Feng, because the soldiers “martial Dao quality was limited, the mo saber Army withdrew from the stage of history.
However, the mo saber Army had been preserved in the northeast and had been passed down until today. It was probably because the Wizards of the wizard God religion could stimulate the potential of the soldiers and enhance their qi and blood, which could increase their combat power in a short time.
As a result, the threshold for the mo saber Army was lowered.
The 3,000 mo saber soldiers charged at the 10000 heavy cavalry of Da Feng fearlessly. On the contrary, their blood was boiling.
With one saber, both the horse and the horse were crushed, especially the heavy cavalry.
A touch of ferocity appeared on Nangong Qian’s tender and beautiful face. In the nine regions, only the Barbarian race was known as the leader of cavalry. After the Battle of Shanhai Pass, Jingguo was known as the leader.
The cavalry of Da Feng was not worth mentioning.
Was that really the case?
The reason why the DA Feng cavalry was so rare was because they lacked high-quality warhorses and suitable ranches for raising horses.
In the past 20 years, Wei Yuan concluded that the reason for the 10-odd small defeats in the Battle of Shanhai Pass was that the cavalry was at a disadvantage.
Great Feng didn’t have the brave mo saber Army, and the cultivation of its
soldiers couldn’t be compared to great Zhou’s during its glory days. How could they increase the power of the heavy cavalry on top of the original foundation?
Wei Yuan’s decision was to equip himself!
Da Feng did not have any Magi who could stimulate the potential of the soldiers and increase their combat strength. They also did not have strong soldiers like the great Zhou.
However, Da Feng had the Directorate of Celestials and warlocks.
Very few people knew the reason why Wei Yuan had been visiting stargazing tower so frequently in the past twenty years. However, after this battle, the 10000 sets of heavy cavalry armor that Wei Yuan had spent 20 years building would be the highlight of the battle.
The mo saber Army that the great Feng had long abandoned was only an old object covered by the dust of history!
The ten thousand heavy cavalrymen charged through the mo saber Army, throwing their men and horses into disarray.
Nangong qianrou took the lead. Her brown pupils were replaced by blood red, and blue veins were protruding on her face. He didn’t look like a human anymore, but more like a beast that had lost its mind.
The generals of both the Kang Kingdom and the DA Feng Army raised their eyebrows upon seeing this.
In the previous sieges, the heavy cavalry had not been of much use. Thus, even their own people were not clear about the true combat power of this group of heavy cavalry.
Other than Wei Yuan and Nangong qianrou.
At this moment, a loud and ethereal chanting came from the Army of the Kang Kingdom. It was so loud that no one could hear the specific content.
The entire battlefield was filled with intelligence. The mo saber soldiers, who had just died and whose blood had not yet cooled, climbed back up. Some of them had lost their heads, some lost their arms, and some had their chests pierced through, but they had truly climbed back up.
Re-enter the battlefield.
To Magi, as long as the corpses were not torn apart or burned to ashes, they would be an endless source of soldiers.
“Awooo …”
Endless roars came from the distant sky as huge flying beasts flapped their wings and glided over the DA Feng Army, dropping rocks, kerosene, and other items.
The gates of the flame capital opened and the fire country’s Army swarmed out, attempting to launch a pincer attack with the Kang country’s Army.
“Raise your shields!”
Chen Ying, the rising star of the military and the leader of the 12000 Imperial Guards, issued an order in an orderly manner. 168 units, turn around the cannons. 24 units, turn around the crossbowmen. Assault Battalion, follow me
As he shouted, he waved the small flag and conveyed the order.
The infantrymen raised their shields to block the attacks from the sky, while a portion of the cannons and ballistae turned around to fire at the fire country’s Army who were charging out of the city.
As the cannons roared, Chen Ying led five thousand light cavalry and ten thousand infantrymen and charged toward Yan Guo’s Army.
The battle dragged on from day to night, and the fire country’s Army abandoned the bodies of over eight thousand soldiers, and retreated back to the city. The Army of the Kang Kingdom also suffered heavy losses and retreated 30 miles.
The great Feng Army was in an extremely difficult situation, and there were three reasons for this.
Defeat in the war.
Flame city was easy to defend and hard to attack, even harder to conquer than
experts in flame city and a strong military force. With a rank three Magus overseeing it, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to conquer it in a short period of time..
