Tu Shadong, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He had never seen all of Qin Ze's troops before. He judged Qin Ze's archers to be very strong based on the bows and arrows, but he had never seen the heavy cavalry before. Now that he saw them, he began to panic.
He turned to look at Cha Yuanzhen and said:
"Your Majesty! Qin Ze actually has heavily armored cavalry under his command, this... this is not a good situation to deal with!"
Cha Yuanzhen's breathing had become slightly heavy, but he quickly suppressed his inner shock and said in a deep voice:
"It doesn't matter! So what if he has heavy cavalry!"
"My shield-bearers aren't just for blocking arrows! I believe they can even hold off heavy cavalry!"
"Their shields are extremely strong! They will definitely be able to withstand their charge!"
"And look, they don't have many heavy cavalry; their numbers are fewer than ours. There's no way they can't stop them!"
"In this battle between spear and shield, we will be the ones who stand to the end!"
"It must be!"
Cha Yuanzhen kept talking, and to Tu Shadong, who was standing to the side, it sounded as if he was trying to convince himself.
He could tell that the king's mind was in turmoil.
Tu Shadong didn't speak; he simply turned his head and looked at the battlefield ahead again.
At this moment, the two torrents have met!
——
In the middle of the battlefield, after Huo Qubing led the archers to retreat, Wei Qing led the heavy cavalry to charge out.
Facing the enemy's shield-bearing soldiers, Wei Qing's face turned red, and his hand gripping the halberd felt hot, all due to excitement!
The more than 20,000 heavily armored cavalrymen he led were incredibly powerful, both in terms of their weapons and their individual combat capabilities, as had been fully demonstrated in previous battles.
Now, let's see if their shields are stronger or our spears are sharper!
"Kill! Break through their defenses! Crush their lines!" Wei Qing roared.
"kill!"
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, riding heavily armored warhorses and gripping their spears, charged into the shield-bearing soldiers' defenses with unparalleled momentum.
The army's formation suddenly unfolded, resembling a giant curved blade, emerging from the dense square formation and sweeping towards the shield-bearing soldiers!
The next moment.
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of crashing sounds rang out, and the moment they charged in, countless shield-bearing soldiers fell to the ground, their broad shields as thin as paper before the unstoppable spears.
The shield-bearers were infantrymen; how could they possibly withstand the charge of these armored warhorses with their shields raised, not to mention the sharp spears on those steeds!
Under the charge of the heavily armored cavalry, the armored soldiers fell to the ground like turtles that couldn't turn over.
The charge of the warhorses made it impossible for them to use their shields to block. The powerful impact caused their shields to slip from their hands, and some even had their wrists broken before they could release their grip!
Their spears couldn't even pierce the armor of these warhorses!
Without their shields, the Hu cavalry were no different from human punching bags. The heavy cavalry was like a harvesting machine, killing countless Hu cavalrymen for every meter they charged forward!
In just a few moments, the ground was littered with corpses!
The horses galloped at full speed, their battle cries like thunder echoing through the valleys. The heavily armored cavalry, like arrows piercing through ice, plunged fiercely into the enemy cavalry, which outnumbered them twice as many, instantly tearing a bloody gash in the enemy ranks.
The armor on the soldiers clashed against each other, producing a dull metallic clang, which converged in the rock-solid central army formation, creating an awe-inspiring sight!
Their mission is to crush all the enemies ahead!
Behind him, Qin Ze rode his steed, watching the battle unfold before him with an expressionless face, though his palms were already covered in a fine layer of sweat.
This isn't due to nervousness, but rather excitement.
The battle had been going on for more than an hour, and the enemy had suffered heavy casualties, with tens of thousands dead just by looking at them. Meanwhile, their side had suffered almost no losses.
Although his army of over 100,000 was extremely expensive to build and cost countless points, their combat power was indeed astonishing.
For Qin Ze, the battle at this moment was more like a military parade!
Once the last Hu horse is annihilated, my score will increase again. With the current army of over 100,000, I will have the strength to counterattack Jin Fengluan!
After returning to Beiliang, you can use the "Purge the Emperor's Ladies" strategy to march towards the capital!
Thinking of this, Qin Ze's gaze gradually turned cold.
The death of her father, the demise of the Chiyan Army, the Qin family being placed under house arrest for two years, Jin Fengluan's persecution, and Huanglong's aiding and abetting evil.
The day we leave Beiliang will be the day the horn of counterattack sounds!
And now, the day has come for the lament of the nomadic horses of the grasslands!
Qin Ze slightly raised his chin, his eyes fixed on the center of the battlefield.
At this moment, the situation had become one-sided. The shield-bearers were routed like a house of cards, completely routed by the charging cavalry, with screams and shouts ringing out one after another.
They were either crushed in the chest and their internal organs were shattered by the impact of the warhorses, or they could not withstand the force and fell to the ground, where they were trampled on by the iron hooves. This was the most tragic case, where they often suffered broken bones and injuries, or were trampled into a pulp by the countless warhorses behind them!
Even those who escaped the charge of the warhorses would be pierced by the spears of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
These Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen were far more powerful than the Hu cavalrymen. With a thrust of their spears, some could even pierce through shields and flesh at the same time!
Even worse, a single gun pierced through two people at the same time!
