The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 184: Powerless Defeat
But the two hundred soldiers who provided food and forage for them were somewhat surprised. Two hundred people wanted to confront two thousand people head-on? Where did they get the courage?
This is truly a cannon fodder army!
However, the troops from various provinces and generals including Li Yunzhuo looked at Jiang Fan with amusement, almost opening their mouths to mock him.
In their opinion, the outcome of the battle was almost decided.
When the two sides engage in battle, even if the cavalry cannot be destroyed, the two hundred grain soldiers will be easily killed.
Even if the remaining light cavalry preserved their strength, what use would it be?
But just as they were thinking this, they saw the light cavalry split into two groups when they were almost at the edge, with fifty riders on each side, Chu Chengrui on the left and Dai Yunzong on the right.
In fact, Chu Chengxiong originally wanted to go together, but in order to protect Jiang Fan's safety, he could only stay beside Jiang Fan. At this time, he looked at his sixth brother with envy, his eyes full of pity.
After the light cavalry separated, they immediately began to rush forward, and the speed of the war horses was getting faster and faster. Seeing this, Li Yunzhuo finally found something wrong. His face changed slightly!
The light cavalry were not trying to conserve their strength. They were doing so because of the unfavorable terrain. They were retreating to distance themselves from the 2,000 Zhoufu troops to avoid being trapped among them. Then, they increased the charging speed of their war horses.
As the war horses speeded up, just one charge from them was enough to disrupt the army formation in front. However, it was a pity that Jiang Fan only had a hundred light cavalry.
In terms of numbers, they are not as good as them. As long as they can find a way to trap the light cavalry in the army formation and limit their space for movement, the light cavalry will not be able to exert their power. Sitting on the horse will become a disadvantage. This battle is guaranteed!
What he was most worried about now was that there would be casualties under the charge of the light cavalry. If he wanted to stop the light cavalry, the best way at the moment was to use his body to withstand it!
Even if they didn't use real swords, the cavalry's charge, with horses trampling and bumping into each other, would not allow the soldiers' bodies to withstand it.
But at this point, it was too late to call a halt. He just hoped that there would not be such casualties. Even if there were, it would not be too big!
Just as he was thinking this, the grain and forage army in front officially confronted the Zhoufu army. Li Yunzhuo and others curled their lips, and a one-sided crushing was about to happen.
But when the two forces collided, they were horrified to find that the Zhoufu Army was actually blocked.
The grain and grass troops used a strange formation and coordinated well, blocking the Zhou Prefecture from advancing an inch. There was no one-sided crushing.
Instead, the grain and fodder troops took advantage of the moment when they blocked the Zhoufu Army and gradually eroded and harvested the Zhoufu Army.
All I could hear was the soldiers in charge of reporting casualties, who was eliminated from the Zhoufu Army, but not a single name appeared on the side of the Grain and Grass Army.
Such a situation made all of them dumbfounded. How could this be possible! Li Yunzhuo and others stood up instantly, looking at the scene in shock, their eyes full of disbelief.
With 2,000 men charging at 200 men, not only did they fail to disperse the grain and fodder troops, but they were eliminated in large numbers as well!
Li Yunzhuo looked at Jiang Fan in astonishment. There was no more contempt in his eyes, only shock. I'm afraid it won't be easy to win this battle.
At this time, the general of Zhoufu in the field saw that the situation was unfavorable and hurriedly changed his strategy. He commanded the Zhoufu army to disperse, trying to bypass the two sides and surround the grain and forage army in the middle.
But at this moment, the light cavalry rushed over from both sides, and in the blink of an eye they faced the Zhoufu army soldiers who had just dispersed.
He swung the wooden Mo Dao in his hand and chopped it down horizontally, killing all the Zhoufu troops that surrounded him from both sides with one blow.
He screamed in agony. Even though it was a wooden sword, it still hurt a lot.
Li Yunzhuo and others were surprised to find that the light cavalry had excellent riding skills and did not collide with any of the Zhoufu soldiers. The casualties that Li Yunzhuo was worried about did not occur.
While Li Yunzhu was shocked, he also felt relieved and grateful.
The light cavalry obviously showed mercy and did not exert their full strength, otherwise, the casualties from the charge alone would be more than they could bear.
But even though they didn't use their full strength, their fighting power was astonishingly strong.
Moreover, each light cavalry consisted of fifty men, charging back and forth in several batches. Their flexibility and adaptability gave the Zhoufu army no chance to block and encircle them.
They managed to protect both sides of the grain and fodder army.
No matter how many provincial troops wanted to attack the two sides, they just couldn't get through, and their idea of encircling the grain and forage army failed.
In a head-on confrontation, they could not break into the formation of the forage army and could only be harvested in an orderly manner by the forage army. The situation tilted one-sidedly towards the forage army and the light cavalry.
Three hundred people, with the cooperation of infantry and cavalry, actually blocked the two thousand people. The grain and forage troops were responsible for attracting the frontal battle, while the light cavalry provided support on both sides, giving the Zhoufu army no chance to surround them.
The Zhoufu Army wanted to encircle the light cavalry, but was held back by the grain and fodder troops. They had no chance as the grain and fodder troops kept biting them.
The light cavalry moved back and forth flexibly, cutting off the chance of the Zhoufu Army to surround the grain and grass army. Under such coordination, the Zhoufu Army could neither advance nor retreat.
The surrounding Zhoufu troops and Li Yunzhuo and others sighed when they saw this scene. By now in the decisive battle, they already knew that they had lost!
With such cooperation, the number of people eliminated from the Zhoufu Army kept increasing, while the number of people eliminated from the Grain and Grass Army was almost negligible.
Even when there were eliminated players, their formation did not get disrupted. When there was a vacancy in the front, the people behind quickly filled it up, organizing the formation extremely tightly and not giving the Zhoufu Army any chance.
After the initial resistance, the Zhoufu Army could no longer make any progress. After the grain and grass army stabilized its position, it launched a counterattack.
Their formation advanced forward, forcing the Zhoufu army to retreat.
At this time, the advantage in numbers became a burden for the Zhoufu Army. More than a thousand people were crowded together, and under the pressure of the grain and grass army, the formation suddenly began to become chaotic.
Then, they were taken away one-sidedly. The Zhoufu Army could no longer organize an effective counterattack.
Once chaos occurred, without the assistance of formations, the soldiers did not know how to fight.
But it is different for the grain and forage army. They have the Mandarin Duck Formation as their foundation. If there are casualties, there will be others to fill their places. With their constant cooperation and filling in, there will hardly be too much chaos.
The battle was stalemate at the beginning, but became one-sided at the end. The number of Zhoufu troops became smaller and smaller. Those who were eliminated watched unwillingly as their side went towards failure step by step. Although they were unwilling, they could only sigh helplessly and leave the battlefield.
The remaining Zhoufu troops gritted their teeth and held on. Even though their companions were dwindling in number, they did not retreat or admit defeat.
This battle concerns their dignity, and they must fight to the death no matter what.
At the end of the fight, there were less than ten Zhoufu soldiers left, and they had been surrounded by Chu Chengrui, Dai Yunzong and others.
The battle had stopped at this time. Chu Chengrui, holding a wooden sword, looked at the generals and several soldiers of the Zhoufu Army on the opposite side. He said calmly:
"At this point in the battle, you... have already lost... Surrender! Stop struggling in vain!"
This is just a competition. At this point, there is actually no need to fight any further.
