Chapter 30 Lead the snake out of the hole
"Haha, the Qin army, hurry up and present the handsome flag to my hands, and spare you all the time!"
When the gate of Langshi City was completely opened, Zamde led five thousand elite soldiers to charge out like an arrow.
"As expected, Zamde was really drawn out!" Seeing Zamde leading the rumbling cavalry to rush out, Gao Shan was delighted and filled with horror.
Gao Shan has also experienced many battles on the battlefield. At a glance, he can see that this cavalry is different from ordinary cavalry, but is an elite. Moreover, infantry is born with a fear of cavalry. Throughout history, infantry and cavalry have almost collapsed at once. With the Fiery Army's sixteen thousand new recruits, it is too difficult to entangle Zamde. Fortunately, Nangong Yu thought carefully and invited reinforcements from the commander.
"Arrowman, shoot the arrow!" Gao Shan gave the order, and thousands of arrows shot towards Zamd's cavalry like locusts.
puff, puff, puff
Hiss...
Ao...
Immediately, hundreds of cavalry fell, the wounded whine and the war horses neighed!
A distance of one thousand steps, the cavalry only takes two or three breaths to charge. During this period, the archers can only shoot two or three rounds of arrows, which cannot cause major damage to the cavalry.
After the second wave of arrow rain was shot out, hundreds of cavalry fell, but Zamde was jealous like a beast. In addition, the quality of this elite cavalry in Xiqi is very high. The two arrow rains caused a gap in their charge formation for them and were immediately filled.
Seeing Zamd's cavalry approaching, Gao Shan ordered: "Shield player, spearman, formation!"
The most terrifying thing about cavalry is their charge, especially the charge of thousands of troops. Apart from the special chariot formation, it is difficult to stop it. As long as the cavalry charge is blocked, there may be a glimmer of hope.
However, just as the fire army's shield and gun formation was formed, the Xiqi cavalry that was charging suddenly broke out. Only the war horses were heard crying, and then the war horses fell down and the wailings and screams of the wounded soldiers.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all the five thousand cavalry horses who rushed out of the city fell to the ground. Zamde's horses also let out a wailing cry and fell head-on.
"What's going on?" Zamde turned his head and looked at the dead horses that fell behind him and the cavalry who were crushed by war horses and those who were killed and injured by the war horses. He looked shocked.
The thing that Nangong Yu secretly lowered in the largest well in Langshi City last night has now worked a miraculous effect.
As the saying goes, horses do not have any grass at night. In order to maintain the good combat effectiveness of war horses, the Xiqi army will feed war horses at night. The largest well in Langshi City is the source of drinking water for war horses in Langshi City.
However, the Xiqi Army was still very cautious. They had strict review procedures for the drinking water and forage of war horses. If they were poisoned, they could not escape the review of the Xiqi Army. And the thing that Nangong Yu secretly laid was actually not poison, but a strong stimulant.
This stimulant is very special. As long as you do not exercise vigorously, there will be no abnormality in the body of a war horse. Once the war horse runs wildly, blood flows rapidly in the body, and the stimulant will also occur randomly, causing the load of the war horse's heart to expand ten times in an instant. The heart of the war horse cannot withstand this powerful load and will naturally die suddenly.
Nangong Yu knew that the 16,000 infantry in Gaoshan could not resist Zamde's cavalry, so he put medicine in advance.
"This is..." The Fire Army was also shocked. They were originally looking at the cavalry that was charging towards the rumble, and they were all so scared that they were weak. However, just when they were trying to fight, the cavalry of Xiqi actually fell to the ground. Before they could fight in close combat, the cavalry of Xiqi had already suffered heavy losses.
Seeing this, Gao Shan understood that this must be Nangong Yu's masterpiece. Gao Shan was overjoyed and took the opportunity to order: "The whole army will attack, kill Xiqi dogs for me, kill!"
The cavalry that lost the war horses was almost the same as the infantry, and was even less than the infantry. Although the fire army charged over and entered the range of the crossbow on the wall of Langshi City, there were also their wounded cavalry and Zamde in this area, so the wall defenders of Langshi City would not launch equipment attacks.
"General, we have been trapped, withdraw back to the city!" Several personal soldiers roared beside Zamd.
"No, I must take off their handsome flag!" Zamde, like a wounded beast, actually killed the handsome flag alone.
"Hurry, protect the general!" The personal soldiers and cavalry who were lucky enough to be uninjured behind Zamde quickly followed Zamde.
"It's over, it's over, it's over, General Zamde has lost his mind and may not be able to come back!" The five thousand magistrate on the wall of Langshi City saw all the horses of the five thousand cavalry suddenly die suddenly. Zamde not only did not retreat, but instead led the two thousand remaining defeated generals to continue to seize the flag of the commander. The five thousand magistrate's expression was very anxious, but he was helpless. Even if Zamde was in danger, he could not send reinforcements to rescue Zamde. After all, Langshi City is much more important than Zamde.
"General, I'm not wrong with my eyes. Before the fight, most of the cavalry in Xiqi were lost, and even all the war horses were killed. Is this a masterpiece of Nangong Yu?" said the deputy commander of the Thunder Army in surprise.
"I really didn't expect that Nangong Yu had such a trick. I was just wondering. He wanted to entangle the Xiqi cavalry because of his 16,000 infantry. This was too confident. It turned out that this guy had tampered with the Xiqi cavalry's war horse!" Seeing the sudden death of the Xiqi cavalry's war horse, Lei Huo admired Nangong Yu and was prostrated. No wonder when the Fire Army was defeated, Hongwu wanted to dig Nangong Yu over. It turned out that Hongwu had long seen that this Nangong Yu was not a thing in the pool.
"General, then do we want to fight out immediately now?" the deputy commander said excitedly.
"Nonsense, our mission is to assist the Fire Army in killing Zamde, and then take the opportunity to attack the city, immediately send orders, and fight out!" Lei Huo shouted.
"yes!"
"Come on, you despicable Qin dogs actually used a poison plan to kill our war horses. Do you think our Xiqi cavalry would not be cavalry without war horses? You will still kill you without armor!" Zamde led less than two thousand remaining soldiers and collided with the 16,000 troops of the Fire Army.
"Hurry, the first battalion commander, send a signal to the commander of the army immediately, let the commander of the army come to the Xiqi army to bloom in the middle!" Seeing this, Gao Shan shouted loudly and ordered.
"Yes!" The first battalion commander nodded and immediately ordered someone to shoot an arrow above Langshi City.
Zamde's eighth level of body tempering, carrying a long spear, was almost invincible. No one could withstand a round under his spear. Moreover, the Xiqi cavalry was an elite army with many battles. Without war horses, their combat effectiveness was even stronger than ordinary infantry. With Zamde's horse taking the lead in rushing, these two thousand men tore a hole in the camp of the Fire Army and approached step by step towards the Shiqi Banner.
