"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 159
The 10,000 black cavalry suffered heavy losses from the joint strangling of the fierce infantry and elite cavalry of the Qinghe Army. The arrogant and arrogant they finally couldn't hold on.
"Retreat!"
"Withdraw!"
The Black Cavalry General's battle armor was stained red with blood, and his shirt was stained with minced meat. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer Black Cavalry cavalry around, he reluctantly gave the order to retreat.
The orderly who had been following the general of the Black Cavalry Army waved the flag vigorously and roared hoarsely.
At the same time, another messenger blew the horn to retreat, and the low whimpering sound of the horn resounded across the battlefield.
After hearing the sound of the retreat horn, the black cavalry cavalrymen who were caught in a hard fight felt a lot more relaxed as if they had been pardoned.
They waved their weapons to push back the enemies who besieged them, and then turned their horses to break out in the direction they came from.
"The bastards are about to escape, brothers, stop them!"
Seeing the black cavalry cavalry turning their horses and retreating one after another, the Qinghe army's morale was immediately boosted, and they tried to intercept them amidst the yelling of officers at all levels.
The black cavalry army who wanted to live broke out their powerful fighting power. They went on a rampage and defeated the Qinghe army troops who intercepted them.
Although the infantry and cavalry of the Qinghe Army tried their best to besiege and kill the cavalry cavalry of the Black Cavalry, but in the face of the black cavalry with terrifying combat effectiveness, they finally let many of them escape.
Under the desperate protection of the cavalry, the general of the Black Cavalry finally broke a bloody road, and fled without daring to look back.
Liu Yidao, the general of the Dragon Cavalry Army, personally led the cavalry of the Qinghe Army to launch a pursuit. After chasing for more than ten miles, he killed more than a thousand people, and then stopped the pursuit.
The tragic battle ended, and the wilderness covered with weeds was densely packed with fallen corpses, and the ownerless war horses were wandering.
The strong smell of blood attracted a large number of vultures and old birds hovering over the battlefield, and groups of wild wolves also appeared on the edge of the battlefield.
Chen Zi'ang and the others beheaded eight or nine thousand black cavalry light cavalry in this battle. Every soldier who participated in the battle seemed to be fished out of blood, and his armor was bleeding.
When the cavalry led by Liu Yidao returned with their bloody heads, Chen Ziang and the others had already rummaged all the wounded from the pile of corpses.
Those unowned war horses were also gathered together. Aside from the wounded war horses, there were more than 6,000 usable horses.
The black cavalry are all riding with one man and two horses. Ten thousand black cavalry have 20,000 horses. However, in the brutal fight, the horses of both sides also lost a lot.
Moreover, some war horses were frightened and fled the battlefield directly, so that when the battle ended, those frightened war horses no longer knew where they went.
Liu Yidao was very jealous of the 6,000 intact horses. After all, his troops were mainly cavalry. If he could add these horses to his troops, his strength would be greatly enhanced.
But Liu Yidao also knew very well that without the assistance of Chen Ziang and the others, relying on his cavalry alone would not be able to annihilate these black cavalry troops, and might even be counter-killed.
This is not the first time that Liu Yidao and Chen Ziang have fought side by side. The last time, Chen Ziang handed over his military exploits to Liu Yidao.
So this time, Liu Yidao also gave up the idea of ??allocating the spoils and horses. He asked for 3,000 horses, and the rest of the horses and horses were all given to Chen Ziang.
Liu Yidao's cavalry unit played a very important role in this battle. Without them, Chen Zi'ang and his infantry would have been slaughtered.
Because once the black cavalry opened the distance, and then concentrated their charge, their infantry was absolutely unstoppable.
It is precisely because Liu Yidao and his cavalry have been entangled with the black cavalry army all the time, causing them to fall into a melee, unable to increase their speed and concentrate their forces, which gave them an opportunity for their infantry.
However, this is a cooperative battle of infantry and cavalry. Without either party, it is not an opponent of the Black Cavalry.
After all, the Black Cavalry Army is also an elite unit of the Central Army of the Dynasty, and it is not for nothing.
"Brothers, it's hard work to fight bloody battles. Since you despise the capture as a burden, then I will give you 50,000 gold as compensation."
Chen Ziang has always insisted on the bottom line of being a human being, which is to maintain a good character and reputation, and not easily take advantage of his colleagues.
After all, greedy for small gains can make people profit in a short time, but in the long run, it is not worth the loss, because a person's character is bad, and the impact can be in all aspects.
"Then what a shame."
Liu Yidao didn't expect that Chen Ziang was willing to take out some gold coins, and his favorability towards Chen Ziang rose gradually.
Liu Yidao didn't want the loot, and returned the favor Chen Ziang had given him for his military exploits, but he didn't want Chen Ziang to take advantage of him, and instead wanted to compensate them with gold coins.
Chen Ziang smiled and punched Liu Yidao in the chest and said, "You and I are brothers, don't be so different."
"In that case, I will thank those brothers on behalf of my brothers." Liu Yidao also bowed his hands sincerely.
After all, the cavalry under him also lived a life of licking blood, and it was always bad to return empty-handed after a hard fight.
When Chen Ziang and Liu Yidao were happily dividing up the spoils, the general of the Black Cavalry Army ran until the horse was foaming at the mouth, and then stopped panting.
"General, those thieves did not catch up."
Seeing that there was no trace of Qinghe Army cavalry behind him, the general of the Black Cavalry Army heaved a long sigh of relief. Finally, he narrowly escaped death and took another life.
But when he saw that there were only a few hundred cavalry around him, his expression became extremely ugly again.
The 10,000 elite black cavalry army left more than a hundred people in the blink of an eye. This was a complete fiasco. He couldn't do anything worse for the fourth prince.
If the fourth prince knew that he underestimated the enemy and was caught in an ambush and killed ten thousand black cavalry, he would not be able to cut off even ten heads.
Thinking of this, the joy of escaping from death disappeared completely, replaced by panic.
"Scatter to find out, see if there are any brothers who have broken out, and gather them together."
The general of the Black Cavalry Army still had a little luck, that is, the troops dispersed during the breakout, so he sent people to gather the troops.
However, after gathering for a long time, he only gathered more than a thousand people, and learned from these escaped soldiers that most of them were finished.
Seeing these black cavalry cavalry cavalry with broken armor and blood stains all over their bodies, the general of the black cavalry army wanted to die, so how could he go back to work?
Thinking of the ruthless fourth prince, the general of the black cavalry army shuddered. If he went back, he would definitely lose his head.
"General, what shall we do now?"
After losing a battle, these frustrated soldiers also turned their eyes to the black cavalry general for help.
"We can't see His Highness anymore, let's go back to the capital."
After thinking for a while, the general of the Black Cavalry Army made his own decision.
"Huh? Back to the capital?"
These black cavalry cavalry don't even know what kind of medicine is sold in their general's gourd.
"Brothers, after such a defeat, His Royal Highness will never be able to get around us. If we go back, we will die."
"As long as we return to the capital and have the protection of our family, the fourth prince will have nothing to do with us."
The Far Eastern Dynasty lasted for more than 400 years, and the power of various meritorious families has penetrated into every corner, becoming a force that can compete with the royal family.
This black cavalry general knew very well that as long as his family protected him, even the royal family would not dare to do anything to him.
?Because the Far Eastern Dynasty is already in turmoil, without the support of these meritorious families, the royal family would be unable to survive alone.
