Car camp.
"General Lu, the cavalry camp and two thousand horsemen have engaged! If we just leave like this, there won't be any troops left to pursue the Xiongnu cavalry!"
General Meng Tian’s commands never came again, only four words that left Lu Cheng and the former general to “adapt as circumstances demand.”
It seems that Meng Tian only intended to have the central army casually fish as a show of force, and there wasn't any particularly significant strategic purpose behind it.
The former general, leading the cavalry camp, had engaged in battle with the two detachments of Xiongnu who had come to intercept them. However, the number of cavalrymen in the camp was not large; most of them had gone to deliver meals to the front and rear lines.
The Huns seized the opportunity and attacked.
Only Lu Cheng and a military camp guard remained from the army encampment.
However, Lu Cheng didn't think so.
"Even if my eldest brother rode a war horse, could he catch up to the Xiongnu cavalry" Lü Cheng said helplessly.
One of the benefits of being at the Golden Core stage is "divine sense projection," which essentially means you can initially gauge a card's basic attributes.
Taking a horse for example,
【Red Rabbit】's speed is 10, 【Xiongnu Grassland Warhorse】 has a speed of 5, while the 【Qin Armored Warhorse】 only has
And the Xiongnu cavalry all have the skill 【Gift of the Prairie】. After the Moon God enhancement, their overall speed can even reach 7 for a short time.
Furthermore, Lu Cheng keenly observed that the Xiongnu cavalry were no longer just on warhorses; a small number of monstrous riders had appeared among them. If they wanted to flee, even the cavalry would be unable to catch up with them.
“Then why don’t we support them with arrows We let the Xiongnu escape for nothing!” The Camp Commander was a typical hothead.
"It's fine, pass the word down. Abandon the grain."
"What" General Yingwei was completely dumbfounded, and immediately jumped up and exclaimed, "General Lu, we'll be beheaded!"
"This is an order, hurry up!" Lu Cheng transmitted the command after playing. He then ordered the entire army to accelerate their advance.
The convoy sped across the prairie, where fresh rain had softened the ground. The reinforced treads of the vehicles churned through the mud, leaving deep tire tracks behind.
"Attention! A massive Hun army has arrived and surrounded us!"
"Halt." Lu Cheng took a deep breath. "Form battle lines!"
You have entered the local battle command mode!
Lu Cheng closed his eyes, [Nian Hua San Qian] allowed him to move with complete control within the battlefield.
The Xiongnu have arrived as expected.
It was a cavalry force, encircling from five directions.
First, it should be a hail of arrows. This is a common tactic used by the Xiongnu people.
"Shield chariots, connect!" Lu Cheng ordered.
Heavy tanks encircled the troops, forming a protective barrier. The sound of machinery filled the air as soldiers passed shield after shield into place.
The Hunnic horns sounded, charging forward, arrows with silver tips lighting up the night sky.
An enchanted arrow.
Now is not the time to be frugal, Lu Cheng activated [Spirit Web], this time he didn't use a deadly formation, the spiritual energy was drawn from [Spirit Jade].
The shield-car was immediately reinforced by soldiers with layer upon layer of earthen spirit qi.
The light struck the shield, sending sparks of silver flying.
The Qin army's shield and crossbow chariot formation was specifically designed for long-range combat. However, despite the three-wheel shooting under the power of earth spirits, it proved ineffective.
"General, shall we counterattack" the Camp Guard General said.
"It's not time yet. First, use light arrows to lure the enemy in, prepare the ballistae, and ready the heavy crossbow bolts!" Lu Cheng calmly gave the order.
The Xiongnu's long-range attacks proved ineffective, and in their haste for quick gains, they would inevitably charge headlong.
"Yes!" Although the camp commander was hotheaded, when it came to obeying orders, the elite troops of the central army were always dutiful.
Behind the ballistae, sheets were lifted one by one, revealing row upon row of heavy siege engines. Long-spined bronze crossbows were carried out by soldiers.
But that's not all, Lu Cheng took out the [Azure Grass Long Rope] from his domain card.
These are ghost ropes made from yōcǎo by the female ghosts in this territory. They are a specialty product of Yōudū Mountain, very common and inexpensive. They're sturdier than ordinary grass ropes, and most importantly, they're light!
Although "Youcao" grass looks similar to ordinary thatch, its physical mass is extremely small. That's what makes it special.
"Compass Long Grass Cord Long Grass Cord, card synthesis! Earthbound Lasso"
The Lodestone is naturally harvested from Lodestone Ore. We've been stockpiling it, and now it's the perfect time to put it to use. This is a simple, natural, and powerful weapon.
Lu Cheng fastened the extremely long grappling hook to two long crossbows, pulling them apart one after another and mounting them on two crossbow carts.
A normal hemp cord would be affected by the crossbow's lack of power, but a ghostly hemp cord being light enough to work.
Lu Cheng continuously placed four special crossbow arrows like this, preventing the Xiongnu from coming from all sides.
He shouted out 【Aqing】, but he's 【still injured inside】. It's too difficult to fight.
Let her protect herself first, and besides, she's changed clothes, she wouldn't forget to play the piano just because of that, would she
This time, I'll make sure he never comes back!
The Hunnic army was primarily composed of a large number of mounted archers. However, during sieges, the vanguard was still formed by extremely elite heavy cavalry.
The flaccid attacks and solid defense tantalized the nerves of the Huns.
Some Xiongnu cavalry dismounted to gear up, trading their short bows for wolf-tooth clubs and spears.
Hu Yanxin has already issued the assault order, it's their turn to charge.
Heavy cavalry charged at the front, light cavalry surged in behind them, ripping through the enemy lines like a pack of wolves.
Soon, three squad cards were assembled and quickly charged towards the shield-and-crossbow formation.
Warhorses thundered, a three-pronged encirclement, leaving one opening to allow prey to scatter and flee, with cavalry on the outer edge waiting to reap what remained.
The formation kept contracting, with nearly ten thousand cavalrymen charging in a sudden assault. The earth trembled beneath their onslaught, and the air was compressed again and again, as if it had solidified.
Counterattacks are still few and far between.
So close, under the moonlight, even Huyan Xin could see the patterns on the opponent's shield.
Just 3 more seconds
Suddenly.
The shield in front is retracted!
Bang bang bang.
No one could see what was shot.
Moonlight's battle lion leapt with agility, but the heavy cavalrymen beside him were not so fortunate.
A bolt of an arrow tore through the air, leaving a plume of blood in its wake. The barbed rope snagged onto something and pulled it down, causing a line of charging horses to fall forward. The cavalry behind them, unable to dodge in time, crashed into their fallen comrades, sending riders and steeds tumbling in a chaotic mess.
As the shield converged, Huyan Xin saw it in an instant!
Massive ranks of heavy infantry and rows upon rows of heavy tanks!
That back there wasn't a supply convoy at all!
Three gigantic [Mirage] ships slowly emerged in the sky, their mists billowing.
For a moment, I couldn't see anything.
Only the battle song echoing through the heavens and earth.
"Boundless courage, old Qin! Together we face the national crisis. We will fight until our blood runs dry, never giving up!"
The sound of crossbow bolts and singing mingled with the constant screams.
“Today, the Qin Empire is at its zenith, like the sun reaching its peak. A century of national hatred cannot be quelled by a vast sea!”
Too close, the troops fell into chaos again.
If we retreat, the losses will be catastrophic!
"Charge, charge in! Break through them!"
Hu Yanxin gritted his teeth and urged his war horse to charge.
His expression was dazed, he could only clearly see the bright Xuan Bird flag and the Black Dragon Riders in front of him. What were these
The Lion King sipped on his mare's milk wine while watching the battle unfold.
We're definitely going to lose, but once necromancy is formed, we can get a lot of points.
Besides, tonight there's an elite cavalry raid by the Xiongnu, hopefully we'll achieve some success.
Suddenly, the red card flashed.
WARNING! Major developments in the war situation!
The enemy card [Xiongnu Ten Thousand Riders (Huyan Xin)] of the opposing army has encountered a powerful foe!
The opponent's playing cards are extremely powerful!
What the heck
Aren't they supposed to be running a supply train
The young lion looked dumbfounded.
At a glance, the enemy army was divided into three formations, battling against a vibrant "skull" card!
Whoa! I gasped in surprise!
What is this
He flipped over the skull card on the battlefield.
【Central Army of the Great Qin Dynasty (Shield and Crossbow Chariot Formation)】, 【Northern Sea Fleet of the Great Qin Dynasty】.
