The 20,000 Qin troops stationed at Ganyukou were immersed in a beautiful sleep at the moment.
In the dream, they brought back home the treasures of the Chu State that they had looted along the way, exchanged these sinful trophies soaked in the blood of Chu people for wine and meat, and shouted happily to their mother-in-law...
The Neifangshan beacon in front gave the Ganyukou garrison a sense of security.
In addition, Xiong Wuliang's "defeat is certain", and the soldiers here are even more slack... Although there are sentries outside, they are all bleary-eyed and unable to cheer up.
Just before dawn, when the night is darkest - the Knights are here!
Ge Suyi looked at the peaceful Qin army camp from a distance, with a murderous smile on his face: "Raise the fire!"
"Flag!"
"Xiaoqijun, follow me and kill!"
Ten thousand brave cavalry troops lit up the fire in unison, and everything in front of them suddenly became brighter.
Under the hooves of the war horses is a flat and soft river shoal, which is perfect for the cavalry to attack at full speed!
"kill!"
"Kill!" The 10,000 brave cavalrymen rushed out without any reservation!
Coming all the way, I saw with my own eyes the countless bloodshed done by the enemy on the territory of the Chu Kingdom, which already made the entire Knight Cavalry army furious.
Today is the time for revenge!
Let’s collect a small debt first!
The shouts of killing condensed into strong winds and huge waves, 10,000 elite cavalry accelerated their horses, and the long mountain gradually leveled...
The rumble of the horses' hooves on the ground was as loud as thunder in the dark night!
The Qin army in Ganyukou woke up from their sleep, rubbed their eyes, and were shocked to find that the Chu cavalry had poured into their camp like a tide.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality!
Something's wrong!
Where did the Chu people get their cavalry?
Why was there no advance warning for the Neifangshan beacon ahead?
I have no time to think too much...
Continuous torches formed into a long dragon, and the ferocious-looking Chu knights sat on tall horses and rushed in... The indescribable long weapons in their hands shone with metallic light together with the daggers at their waists.
The camp was overturned, and the Qin soldiers who had no time to escape were trampled into pulp.
Campfires were knocked to the ground.
The charging cuirassiers could not be stopped at all!
Especially the 20,000 Qin troops did not even have a basic formation... Many Qin soldiers were unarmed and only knew how to run around in the camp.
kill!
revenge!
The long spear showed full power - as long as the knights used their feet to exert force, they could stay firmly on the saddled horses. The long spear in their hands showed unimaginable lethality.
There are many examples of Qin soldiers strung on a long pole.
So relaxing! It was simply a one-sided killing!
The Knights rushed forward as if they were driving stakes on the training ground... If the long spear accidentally broke due to improper force, they would abandon it on the ground and pull out the shiny fine iron dagger from their waists to kill.
Ge Su should rush to the front, with a long sword in his right hand and a short sword in his left hand. He can chop left and right, stabbing and hitting at the same time, as if he were in a deserted place - if he could be more handsome, he would look like a Zhao Zilong.
Behind him, several Knights of the Valiant Cavalry followed closely, one of them holding the banner of the 'Valented Cavalry' in his hand.
The flag was fluttering, and it was very eye-catching even in the dark night with flickering firelight.
Ge Suyi chopped down a strong armored man who looked like a captain of the Qin army with one sword. He flexibly flicked the long spear in his right hand and swung away two Qin soldiers who rushed towards him.
The several-meter-long cavalry spear looked as sharp as a short spear in Ge Suyi's hand.
He rushes wherever there are many people... he is really capable of killing!
A captain of the Cavalry Army rushed over and shouted: "General! Don't be reluctant to fight!"
"Burning the granary is the key!"
Ge Suyi suddenly woke up and immediately turned his horse's head and rushed straight towards the rows of grain farms.
Under the guidance of the banner of the heroic cavalry army, the Chu army cavalry followed closely... rushed to the front of Liangtun and threw torches mercilessly.
These torches are dipped in fire oil.
Touched by the golden grain... the fire spread quickly and finally rose into the sky!
Mountains of precious food burned, making crackling sounds.
Seeing that the main task of 'burning grain' had been completed, Gesuyi laughed loudly... It seemed that he could retire with success, but looking at the Qin soldiers who were in a mess and still didn't know what happened, Gesuyi moved his horse again. Turning his head back: "Kill!"
Ten thousand heroic cavalry troops rampaged and slaughtered crazily in the camp of twenty thousand Qin troops.
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
The grain camps are burning, the camps are burning, the military drums are burning... Thousands of Qin soldiers are falling one after another...
…
The next day.
A few hours later, Sima Cuo personally led the cavalry reinforcements. By the time they arrived at Ganyukou, everything had already settled.
The scattered Qin army camps, scattered tents, and densely packed corpses of Qin soldiers in black armor...explained what kind of massacre Ganyukou experienced last night.
Sima Cuo's face turned pale.
The rows of grain farms had been burned cleanly... there were still some scattered flames, and a faint red light shone in the ashes.
Sima Cuo took off his helmet angrily. Because he used too much force, his bun was pulled apart, and his long gray hair was spread out, making this angry veteran even more terrifying.
It frightened several surrounding soldiers into retreating several steps.
Sima Cuo gritted his teeth: "Xiong Wuliang is indeed extraordinary."
"How did he know that our army was storing food at Ganyukou?"
All the generals around him looked confused.
Sima Cuo took a deep breath, and after a long time, he calmed down.
He leaned down and inspected carefully - there were horse hoof prints all over the place.
"It seems that the Chu people also have cavalry." Sima Cuo said coldly.
The Chu army's cavalry had already left contentedly, and there was no point in staying at Ganyukou. Sima Cuo ordered in a deep voice: "Clean the battlefield and see if there are any missing wounded."
"Walk!"
…
The main camp of the coalition forces.
General Gongsun Xi and Bao Yuan were in very complicated moods.
On the one hand, the coalition's food and grass were burned, which was obviously a heavy loss.
But looking at it on the other hand - the nearly 20,000 soldiers who died in the battle were all Qin troops, while the armies of Wei and South Korea had no damage.
Moreover, Xiong Wuliang resorted to the strategy of "sneak attack on the granary", which was obviously to force back the Qin, Wei, and Han coalition forces... This also showed that Xiong Wuliang was not sure of defeating the coalition forces head-on.
Thinking about it this way, I felt a lot more relaxed.
There is one thing to say - the strategic goals of Wei and South Korea have been achieved.
Beating Chu to death was enough for Wei and South Korea.
It might not be a good thing if they really beat everyone in Chu State to death.
When the time comes, the powerful Qin State dominates the west, and there is no big brother Chu State to resist the damage... Wei and Han will really not be able to withstand it.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Xi and Bao Yuan looked at each other, and already sounded the retreat drum in their hearts.
Just at this time, Sima Cuo had rushed back from Ganyukou.
"Guowei..." A group of Qin generals stepped forward one after another.
Gongsun Xi and Bao Yuan narrowed their eyes slightly and looked at Sima Cuo expectantly.
Sima Cuo sat on the main seat, took a sip of water, and then said in a deep voice——
…
