Chapter 2016: Phantom Trap
"Young Marshal has an order, heavy cavalry in front, light cavalry in the rear, the whole army attacks!"
The voices of the messengers kept ringing out, and the phalanx of seventy or eighty ten thousand people standing far away from Zhan Chen began to mobilize before the war.
One by one, they came in armor and galloped in front of their own soldiers, shouting loudly to encourage these young warriors.
"Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while! We are soldiers! The glory of a soldier is to die on the battlefield! Brothers and robes, show your swords and let the enemy see the tricks of a human man!" "Behind us, is Our relatives, these enemies of the evil, are our relatives who want to be killed. We cannot retreat. In this battle, everyone will die, and their bones will be buried in this wasteland forever, but our heroic souls will be destroyed.
Forever recorded in history! "
"Wind! Wind! Strong wind!"
"Wind! Wind! Strong wind!"
…
Nearly a million cavalry made a deafening roar. Phantom, who was directing the battle, heard the shouts of human cavalry in the distance. Her expression suddenly changed, and she secretly thought something was wrong.
Sure enough, the earth began to tremble slightly, and the black army on the battlefield in the distance was like a black tide, pushing rapidly from the horizontal surface.
Phantom immediately understood that the enemy had actually mobilized its entire army! The cavalry is not infantry. There are only about a dozen cavalry on our side. If the enemy sends too many cavalry, they will restrict each other and become a burden. Twice the number is the optimal number. This is something that any cavalry general understands, so go to war.
Since then, the human cavalry has maintained twice the numerical advantage, constantly fighting with itself, trying to consume the combat power of its own cavalry through time. This shows that the opponent's mysterious young general Zhao Zian is by no means mediocre.
But why did the entire army suddenly attack? Did he see his intention?
If he really saw his intention, he should retreat across the board. It would be impossible to push all the cavalry up at once.
Phantom is not afraid of these 700,000 to 800,000 human cavalry. What she is worried about is whether her plan will be seen through by the enemy.
Zhao Zian divided all the cavalry into three groups and advanced simultaneously from three different directions: southeast, south, and southwest.
The heavy armored cavalry regiment in front started to speed up when they were still five miles away from the battlefield. When they were still three miles away from the battlefield, their horse speed had already reached its fastest speed.
When they were still one mile away from the battlefield, whirring sounds continued to sound, and the eight-foot-long halberd was raised.
The light cavalry followed closely behind the heavy cavalry. As soon as the heavy cavalry broke out of an opening, they would immediately press on and engage in face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Phantom felt that something was unusual and that the environment in front of her was unfavorable to her. In order to use herself as bait, after encountering an ambush yesterday, she did not adopt the strategy of attacking to the outside. Instead, she attacked north and seized the southern line of Old Crow Forest.
The wasteland, and the pine forest seven or eight miles behind her, made it difficult for her 100,000 storm army to launch an effective offensive. He could only keep wandering in the wasteland south of the woods.
Now under the pressure of the enemy's 700,000 to 800,000 troops, coupled with the original 200,000 to 300,000 human cavalry on the battlefield at this moment, including 50,000 to 60,000 Southern Border beast cavalry, the Phantom has no strategic space to deepen.
The human heavy cavalry rushed into the battlefield decisively, trying to divide the 100,000 beast cavalry.
Because there was no buffer zone behind the Storm Legion, millions of cavalry poured in, and the speed of both sides immediately slowed down. They were like infantrymen, holding weapons and slashing each other face to face.
Tens of thousands of Southern Border beast cavalry charged in from the side, and the situation on the battlefield immediately tilted toward the human world.
The Phantom has only two options. One is to defeat this group of human cavalry face to face, which totals nearly a million in number. However, the stopped cavalry is not as good as a dog. If they are killed face to face, the losses to those six-legged beasts will be very heavy.
Phantom doesn't care how many Celestial Cavalrymen die. What she cares about is the six-legged beast rider sitting under the cavalryman's buttocks. This is the real combat power of the Storm Cavalry Regiment. The repeating crossbows hanging on the human cavalry were constantly triggering the action. They had been fighting with the Storm Cavalry for days, and they also discovered that it was better to shoot the horse first than to shoot a man. A dozen human cavalry surrounded a Storm Cavalry, and several of them were responsible for killing. Celestial Cavalry
Yes, there were a few who were responsible for killing the six-legged beasts, and a few human cavalry warriors. They were not holding long-handled swords at all, but were holding repeating crossbows, and they were constantly pointing at the six-legged beasts that were more than a foot long. The evil beast fires an iron feather crossbow.
Even if the six-legged evil beast is powerful, it is still too much to bear with its body covered with cuts and bruises and filled with densely packed iron-feathered arrows.
Especially when the iron feather arrows are fired at such a close range, they are extremely powerful.
For a moment, the front line of the Celestial Storm Legion was in chaos.
Phantom has a second way, which is to retreat into the pine forest behind him.
As soon as they enter the woods, the advantage of the cavalry is gone. However, Phantom is very confident in his storm army. Even in the dense forest, the six-legged evil beasts are ten times more powerful than human war horses.
After all, Phantom still didn't want to give up his plan to annihilate eight million human cavalry and hundreds of thousands of southern beast cavalry just for the sake of millions of enemies. He also didn't want to see his cavalry being forced to stop and die miserably.
So she ordered the Tuhuoqi Department and the Puyuci Department on both sides to start implementing the plan, quickly break out of the encirclement, and move closer to her.
And she ordered her subordinates to avoid its sharp edge, and the entire army retreated to the pine forest in the north.
Zhao Zian kept clenching his fists and pressed all his troops. This was a dangerous move. He just wanted to force the Phantom Department into the pine forest. In the time of a stick of incense, in less than half an hour of face-to-face fighting, he had lost more than 200,000 warriors. Most of the warriors were bitten to death by the enemy's six-legged monster. If the enemy did not retreat, In the pine forest, Zhao Zian is here
Going to retreat.
Just when he was about to order the entire army to retreat and leave the battlefield, the Storm Cavalry of the Phantom Division finally made some movement and began to break through and retreat to the north, running towards the woods.
When Zhao Zian saw this scene, he gasped for breath and slowly loosened his clenched fists.
He ordered the army to bite the enemy tightly, but not to go too deep. After driving the enemy three miles into the woods, the entire army immediately withdrew from the woods.
Tens of thousands of beast cavalry from southern Xinjiang were chasing at the front, and none of the light cavalry or heavy cavalry behind them entered the woods.
When they were about three miles deep into the woods, the beast cavalry immediately stopped chasing, changed direction, and ran out of the woods.
It was already the second watch, and the darkness and melee prevented the soldiers of the Storm Troopers from noticing the strangeness of this forest. When he saw that the enemy did not rush deep into the woods to pursue them, Phantom immediately ordered the entire army to correct themselves in the woods. After two days and two nights of fighting, these storm cavalry were indeed a bit overwhelmed.
