Liu Mingzhi looked at the cavalry battle on both sides with lingering fear and once again lamented the strength of the nation on horseback!
The cavalry stationed in the thirty-six state-owned cities in the Western Regions are so powerful. One can imagine the riding skills of the Turks, a wild wolf that roams on the grasslands all year round.
He has never formally competed with the Turks. There is no way for Young Master Liu to know who is better between the Western Regions and the Turks!
When the Gulan City cavalry saw the light cavalry of General Dalong waving their horses and outflanking them again, they immediately wanted to attack in a roundabout way, but then there was a deafening charge from behind.
The cavalry commander Shan'erhe turned around in panic and saw that he and his soldiers were about to be completely wiped out by another group of cavalry.
However, when Shan'erhe saw the five thousand swordsmen, his hands suddenly relaxed and he looked at the light cavalry who were about to surround him and waved the scimitars in his hands: "Brothers, kill the infantry of the Great Dragon Kingdom!"
With an order, Gulan City's cavalry brandished their scimitars and roared as they charged towards the Modao team's phalanx.
The natural advantage of cavalry over infantry made Shanerhe and his cavalry never pay attention to the Five Thousand Modao Team, so what about the tall infantry!
Infantry is still infantry, and cavalry is still cavalry. That kind of natural crushing cannot be compensated by height!
Ning Chao and Han Peng encountered exactly the same situation. They both felt happy when they saw the Gulan City cavalry charging towards the Modao team!
The two of them ordered the light cavalry to divide into three groups and charge towards the remaining Gulan City cavalry. Two roundabout routes cut off the Gulan City cavalry's retreat, and all the way cooperated with the Mo Dao team to attack from the front and back!
Shan'erhe, who was full of murderous intent, suddenly became frightened, and the terminator of the cavalry was once again displayed on the Gulan City cavalry.
Inch longer and stronger, the Mo Dao team staggered away from the charging Gulan City cavalry, and the Mo Dao in their hands directly slashed across, making the battle more tragic than that caused by the heavy cavalry.
In less than half a stick of incense, Shan'erhe had less than 800 soldiers!
"Put down your weapons, disarm and kill!"
A Western Region dialect version of "lay down your weapons and disarm without killing" came out from the cavalry square formation!
As Shan Erhe hesitated, the thundering sound of war drums and howls were heard from the east gate of Gulan City. The sound of the dragon soldiers' charging directly penetrated the thick walls of Gulan City and resounded throughout Gulan City.
Shan'erhe looked towards the gate of Gulan City and immediately saw a continuous stream of dragon infantry following the cavalry and swarming towards the city gate. On the ladder, there were densely packed soldiers waving weapons towards the city wall. Climb away.
"The city is broken!"
This was Shan Erhe's first thought, but this thought was not an illusion. Gulan City was really destroyed.
Less than an hour after the war started, the Western Expedition army defeated Gulan City in a crushing manner!
"Disarm without killing!"
Shan'erhe put down the scimitar in his hand weakly, and with a heavy heart, he ordered hundreds of cautious soldiers under his command to dismount and surrender.
Han Peng, Fang Shanerhe's deputy general Shanlongche also dismounted and surrendered with his remaining 1,200 cavalry.
In less than an hour after burning the incense, Liu Mingzhi was completely relieved when he heard the Western Region dialect version of "Disarm and Not Kill" on the city wall.
Including the 50,000 soldiers of the Gumo Kingdom's Western Expedition Army, a total of 440,000 people fought to break through Gulan City with 70,000 defenders in half an hour!
The equipment was crushed, the people were crushed, Gulan City was defeated unjustly!
Young Master Liu stretched and yawned.
"It is said in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu: If you are ten, you are to surround it, if you are five, you are to attack it, and if you are twice as many, you are divided. This statement is true, this statement is true, Sun Tzu is Sun Tzu, that is the true Sun Tzu!"
"Commander, look, our dragon flag is raised!"
Young Master Liu took out his telescope and looked at the big dragon flag fluttering in the wind on the city wall and the bright red flag of the Western Region Protectorate and smiled.
"Send orders to the three armies, and the doctors in the rear will immediately treat the injured soldiers!"
"Got the order!"
Liu Mingzhi's excitement gradually became heavier as he looked at the brutal battlefield of the cavalry phalanx outside the city, hoping that there would be no Dalong son among them!
"Dashuai Liu, is this how your big dragons attack cities?"
Gumo Rongrong looked at the city gate on the city wall that was covered with arrows and looked like a hedgehog through the telescope given to her by Young Master Liu, with a trembling tone in her voice!
"Hmm? What's it like?"
Gumo Rongrong calmed down and put away the telescope: "Rongrong has been observing the battle situation. Gulan City only has 70,000 defenders, and 10,000 cavalry have left the city. In a city with 60,000 defenders, your bows and arrows In less than an hour, the 40,000 archers shot a total of 40 times, which equaled more than 1.6 million arrows. Attacking a city of 60,000 people consumed 1.6 million arrows. How could such an siege be possible? Yes, aren’t you afraid of wasting arrows?”
"Of course not, this is my unique way of using troops!"
"A unique way to use troops? Please teach Marshal Liu!"
"I would rather bring no food and grass, but have enough arrows. If you are poor, you will be strategically interspersed, and if you are rich, you will be covered with arrows! If you can attack from a distance, you will definitely not fight at close range. I use my troops to fire arrows routinely, let alone only 60,000 defenders, even if there are only 6,000 The guards must also be covered with a wave of arrows first, otherwise I will not feel at ease!"
"But it takes a lot of hard work to make an arrow. If you consume arrows like this, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to supply them in the future?"
Liu Mingzhi raised a slanted smile. Of course he would not tell Gumo Rongrong that two million of the three million feather arrows he carried were poured out of molds quickly.
She shrugged her shoulders at the girl Rongrong who was wearing armor: "I can't help it, I'm rich and willful! Isn't it just more than a million arrows? It's drizzle!"
Gu Mo Rongrong's pretty face couldn't help but twitch twice. She found that Young Master Liu's proud look was unworthy of beating, but she envied this way of using soldiers from the bottom of her heart.
No matter how many enemies it has, even if you only have one enemy, you still have to cover it with a wave of arrows first.
Regardless of your elite soldiers and generals, I will overwhelm you with momentum first. If one hundred thousand arrows are not enough, then I will give you another hundred thousand!
"Aren't you afraid that the arrows that hit the city wall will be collected by the guards on the city wall and used to kill your own soldiers?
This rain of arrows available everywhere is simply a gift from God for archers! "
"Of course I'm scared, but they have to have a chance to show up and fight back. Didn't you see what happened on the city wall just now with a telescope?"
Gumo Rongrong couldn't help but shudder, and the scene she saw in the lens flashed in her mind.
It wasn't that the defenders of Gulan City didn't fight back, but that as soon as they showed their heads, arrows penetrated their throats or chests. After two rounds of arrow rain, no archer dared to fight back.
Even if there are arrows readily available all around, he can only save his life by hiding behind the battlements.
Hiding behind the battlements can avoid being covered by arrows. The stones from the catapults and the wine jars filled with kerosene are great weapons. There are ways to avoid the stones.
But when a kerosene bomb fell on the city wall and exploded into a raging fire, it was really inevitable!
Gumo Rongrong sighed melancholy: "Rongrong seems to have little hope for big countries such as Dawan and Anxi. Even the cavalry can last long in the face of such a rain of arrows. The cavalry has superb riding skills, but the war horses cannot Avoiding the rain of arrows, the pain of being trampled to pulp by thousands of horsemen and horses is not as satisfying as being killed by feathered arrows!"
"I accept your words, but I will not underestimate any opponent! No matter what the enemy is, the opponent is the opponent, no matter how many people come, they will be covered with arrows!"
Gumo Rongrong fell silent, Gumo Country was not unjustly defeated!
Liu Mingzhi looked at the Dalong soldiers on top of the city who were cleaning the battlefield and recovering arrows, pulled the reins of their horses and headed towards Juechen of Gulan City. His thoughts never changed.
If you are poor, you will be strategically interspersed; if you are rich, you will be covered by rainfall!
If one hundred thousand arrows are not enough, then one million.
Young Master Liu uses his troops to attack from a distance.
Arrows can be made with great effort, and you are not afraid of spending money.
As for whether Lao Jiang Shangshu would jump up and scold his mother, it was not within Young Master Liu's consideration.
