"Report on the battle situation!" Uesugi Kenkatsu said.
"Reporting to the general, it appears that our army has suffered four thousand casualties. Fortunately, your command was excellent, preventing further losses. Otherwise, the death toll would likely have exceeded ten thousand!"
"It's all thanks to the Chariot Formation!" Uesugi Kenkatsu thought to himself. "Thanks to the Chariot Formation diagram brought by strategist Kuroda, otherwise, the situation would have been even worse!"
He nodded slightly, his eyes narrowed, watching the battle unfold before him without blinking.
In Uesugi Kenshin's view, the Xia cavalry had reached the front lines. This made Uesugi Kenshin understand that this meant the Xia would not continue using those strange explosive arrow attacks.
The battle will turn into a brutal melee.
Thinking of this, Uesugi Kenshin's lips curled up slightly.
"The samurai of my Uesugi family are best at close combat, even against highly mobile cavalry!"
Once the melee begins, the wheels of the chariot formation will turn, and his spearmen are all the most elite warriors of Dongpan Goechi.
He was confident that he could inflict heavy losses on the Great Xia army in close combat.
"Lin Mo, Lin Mo, your biggest mistake was withdrawing those terrifying black-armored cavalry!" Uesugi Kenshin thought to himself, "If they were here, I really wouldn't have a good way to deal with them!"
Lin Mo's Nightmare Cavalry was so terrifying that Uesugi Kenshin was once at a loss.
Therefore, upon hearing that Lin Mo had "withdrawn" these cavalrymen, Uesugi Kenshin was genuinely excited for a long time.
He turned to his deputy general, Nagao Masatora, and asked, "Nagao, look carefully. This is the true essence of the Chariot Formation. If you learn this formation, you will be invincible!"
Nagao Masatora nodded. "Mastering this formation means you have nothing to fear from any opponent!"
At this point, he sighed inwardly. If he had learned this formation back then, he could have defeated his nemesis, the Takeda clan of Kai.
Thinking of this, Nagao Masatora's eyes gradually turned cold.
Today, I had the privilege of witnessing this formation in actual combat, and I must remember it well.
Lin Mo of Da Xia, today is the day you pay for the blood debt owed to Dong Pan Ge!
Just then, a cry of surprise rang out.
"General Uesugi, they...they've changed formation!"
Uesugi Kenkatsu stared intently and indeed saw that the Hu-style cavalrymen opposite had retreated to both sides, leaving a wide area in the middle, as if they were making way for the troops behind them.
The next moment, Uesugi Kenkatsu's eyes widened in shock!
At the front of the battlefield, a cavalry unit of the Great Xia, clad in heavy armor, charged out!
“This…” Nagao Masatora trembled. “General Uesugi, these are the Great Xia Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry!”
Uesugi Kenkatsu narrowed his eyes. "I know, of course I know!"
As the art of war says, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."
In preparation for this war, Uesugi Kenkatsu put in a lot of effort to study Lin Mo, the regent of the Great Xia Dynasty.
His troops, his tactics, his formations, everything about him.
The Xia Xuanjia heavy cavalry, who had dealt heavy blows to the Dos with only a few hundred men and wiped out one Dos tribe after another, was naturally the type of soldier he knew the most about.
The problem is, it is said that Lin Mo only has a few hundred heavily armored cavalrymen, and they are all stationed in the Dos Grass Sea!
How did they suddenly appear on Beirui Mountain? And their numbers appear to be at least a thousand?
Nagao Masatora, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He had only heard about Lin Mo's troops from others before. The Great Xia archers who could shoot explosive arrows had already left him speechless. Now, seeing these renowned heavy cavalrymen, his fear was beyond words.
He turned to look at Uesugi Kenshin, "General Uesugi, he actually has so many heavy cavalry? No... this won't be easy to deal with!"
Uesugi Kenkatsu's breathing became slightly heavy, but he quickly suppressed his inner shock and said in a deep voice, "It's alright, spearmen, step forward, raise your spears, and meet the enemy!"
As soon as the order was given, the Dongpango soldiers raised their rifles and stood ready for battle.
Then, Ueyama Kenkatsu continued, "The samurai of my Uesugi family are the most elite in the Eastern Pango..."
Before the words were even finished, the slap in the face came so quickly.
Faced with the raised spears, half of the Great Xia cavalry stopped their charge at the last moment, then leaped up, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and landed behind the Dongpange formation.
"This..." Uesugi Kenshin could hardly believe his eyes! "Their warhorses, can they fly?"
Although the spears of the East Pango were not as long as those of the Macedonians, they were still more than three meters long, and when the soldiers were tall, they were close to four meters long when standing upright.
But the warhorses of the Great Xia Dynasty were able to leap over a four-meter-high phalanx of spears!
"Could these really be demonic riders from the infernal hell?"
On the main battlefield, Xiang Yu was leading the elite cavalry of the Great Xia in a fierce charge.
Lin Mo gave him two thousand Tang Dynasty Xuanjia heavy cavalry, whose weapons and individual combat capabilities were both extremely powerful, as had been fully demonstrated in previous battles.
No matter how strong Dongpango's so-called elite warriors are, can they be stronger than the Dos Roaring Warriors?
"Die, all of you die!" Xiang Yu roared as he brandished his Chu halberd.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The heavily armored cavalry of the Tang Dynasty also joined Xiang Yu in unleashing a thunderous roar.
Riding heavily armored warhorses, they quickly assembled behind the Dongpango formation, then gripped their spears tightly, made a thrusting motion, and charged into the Dongpango ranks with unparalleled momentum.
The army's formation suddenly unfolded, resembling a giant curved blade, sweeping across the dense square formation towards the East Pango warriors!
The next moment.
"Bang bang bang!" A series of crashing sounds rang out, and countless Dongpango soldiers fell the moment they rushed in.
The Dongpango soldiers, attacked from both sides, were like paper cutouts in front of the heavily armored cavalry.
Under the charge of the heavily armored cavalry, Dongpango was like a turtle that couldn't turn over, with a large number of people falling to the ground.
"Retreat, scramble, change formation!" Uesugi Kenshin shouted.
The next characteristic of the suspension formation is that the front wheel can be discarded, and the rear wheels can be quickly moved back to form a new suspension.
Clearly, the Dongpan Ge troops, scattered by Xiang Yu's cavalry, had become abandoned soldiers.
The Great Xia cavalry showed them no mercy. Their horses galloped at full speed, their battle cries like thunder. The armor on the soldiers clashed against each other, producing a dull metallic clang. They gathered in the rock-solid central army formation, creating a terrifying spectacle!
Xiang Yu's mission was simple: to crush all the enemies in front of him!
Behind him, Lin Mo surveyed the massacre, a slight smile creeping onto his lips. “What a magnificent chariot formation!” he exclaimed. “However, this thing was created by our Chinese ancestors. How could I, Lin Mo, not know it?”
"Your hardships are just beginning!"
