After speaking, Qin Ze looked at the system attribute panel.
[Host: Qin Ze.]
Points: (Increasing...)
[Territory: Northern Liang (square kilometers)]
[Tier 5 Qin Elite Soldiers: 9500 men.]
[Tier 5 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry: 2000 men.] (PS: For ease of calculation, only integers will be counted from now on.)
[Military Generals: Three-star General: Dian Wei. Five-star General: Huo Qubing]
Looking at the panel, Qin Ze pondered quietly. After disregarding the small number of soldiers who died in the battle of Shifeng City last night, there were still about 8,500 Qin elite soldiers left in Shifeng City.
In this battle, of the ten thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and five thousand Qin elite soldiers under his command, more than ten thousand died, and the remaining troops now number about three thousand.
Currently, Hu Ma still has less than 20,000 troops. He must fight quickly and annihilate all these remaining troops in order to obtain the system's points bonus reward.
In just two days, Qin Ze saw that his points were approaching 700,000, and he calculated how many troops he could exchange for them.
His gaze shifted to the countless corpses on the battlefield and the abandoned warhorses, and Qin Ze had an idea.
"Exchange for 4,000 people! 4,000 suits of armor, weapons, and helmets, all to be given to the five-star Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"
Qin Ze did not choose to exchange for warhorses. More than 70,000 people died in this battle. Although many horses were also killed in the battle, there were still many warhorses left, roughly tens of thousands.
A warhorse costs 100 points. Without exchanging for a warhorse, a fully equipped Tiger and Leopard Cavalryman only requires 161 points to exchange for. This is why Qin Ze chose to exchange for four thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen.
[Ding! Total points consumed! Redeemed for 4000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!]
The system announced that 4,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had appeared on the grassland!
Looking at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Qin Ze's expression was resolute. After this battle, he had already judged the combat strength comparison between the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Hu cavalry.
The Northern Hu had 60,000 troops killed, while our own force of 15,000 had suffered over 10,000 casualties. The casualty ratio was about 6 to 1. If it were ordinary soldiers, the casualty ratio would not be so high.
These Hu horses were indeed formidable warriors on the grasslands, but no matter what, they were no match for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
Now, with the addition of 4,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they can completely annihilate the remaining troops of the Northern Hu!
Even if the soldiers in the Northern Hu army camp were all the personal guards of the Northern Hu leader and were slightly stronger in combat, I still had more than three thousand men who could fight back!
However, after this fierce battle, the physical strength of these three thousand people is now extremely depleted.
But Qin Ze wasn't worried. As long as they rested, these physically strong special forces soldiers would recover quickly.
Tonight is the night to annihilate the Northern Hu troops!
Immediately, Qin Ze ordered the soldiers to rest and recuperate. Once they had recovered their strength, they joined the newly formed 4,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to attack the remaining Hu cavalry at night!
...
It was evening.
Outside the Northern Hu army camp.
Dozens of Northern Hu soldiers rode back in a panic, and were shocked to see that the main camp ahead was intact.
Startled, the dozens of Hu soldiers hurriedly fled back to their camp.
"Khan! We...we have lost!"
Hu Mabing, who had fled back to the camp, rushed into the tent with a grief-stricken expression and reported the news of the disastrous defeat to Tu Yuchun.
Seeing his men, all wounded and looking like they'd lost their souls, Tu Yuchun was shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he shouted:
"What? They lost? How could they have lost!"
The Northern Hu soldier, tears streaming down his face, immediately knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, and said:
"The Prince of Zhenbei has over ten thousand soldiers under his command, and those soldiers...they...they..."
Hu Mabing still felt lingering fear when he talked about it. As a veteran, he had never seen soldiers with such strong combat power. Those people were like monsters, only knowing how to fight, and were not like normal people at all.
This was beyond his comprehension.
Tu Yuchun's face turned ashen, and he roared:
"Tell me quickly! What exactly happened!"
"How come only a few dozen of you returned? Could it be that they all...?"
The subordinate took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, before continuing:
"Khan, the troops of the Prince of Zhenbei, although only a little over ten thousand strong, are all brave and skilled in battle, and even have more experience in mounted combat than we do!"
"Not only that, at the very beginning of the battle, they killed many of our men with their arrows. These men were far superior to us in both archery and mounted combat. The general originally intended to lead us to retreat, but unexpectedly, a troop of cavalry came from the grasslands. They...they said they had cut off your head, Khan!"
Just as he finished speaking, Tu Yuchun flew into a rage and slapped him across the face.
"What do you mean, cut off my head? I'm alive and well!"
"How could you believe their nonsense!"
The Hu soldier hurriedly said, "That man was carrying a human head. The head was disheveled, the face was blurry, and the chin was covered with a beard. From a distance, it really did look just like you!"
"Given the overwhelming defeat and the widespread fear, everyone took it seriously. In his grief, the general led us back for a desperate battle. And that was the end of it..."
At this point, the Northern Hu soldier looked grief-stricken.
After saying this, Tu Yuchun's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but touch his beard, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
