Chapter 614: Heavy casualties, where are the cavalry from?

"I will personally lead 3,000 cavalrymen to attack the enemy's granary under cover of night, and I will definitely catch them off guard."

"Zheng Gong and Cai Pei, you two, lead the remaining cavalry and continue to lurk in Yandang Mountain. Keep an eye on the movements ahead. As soon as the Zhenguojun launches an attack, you will lead the cavalry to charge out of Yandang Mountain and head straight for the enemy camp."

Huo Yun made a prompt decision and wanted to take 3,000 cavalrymen to attack the enemy's food storage camp at night. As long as the food of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Wei Dynasty was burned, the morale of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Wei Dynasty would inevitably be low, and they would collapse in time.

"Boss, no, there are 50,000 or 60,000 troops stationed there, and you only have 3,000 cavalry. It's too risky. Let me go."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Gong and Cai Pei both spoke out, obviously worried about Huo Yun leading 3,000 cavalry to attack the enemy's granary.

"Don't be so fussy, both of you. I am better than both of you in terms of cultivation, and I am also better than you in leading cavalry to charge into battle. A long-distance raid on the enemy camp at night is a test of bravery and fearlessness. It is perfect for me to lead 3,000 cavalry."

Huo Yun knew very well that the cavalry would attack the enemy camp at night.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war, not quantity.

As long as he could catch the enemy by surprise, he could then lead the cavalry and continue to set fires, which would most likely disperse the enemy's tens of thousands of troops and annihilate them.

Of course, this is also a very risky behavior. Once the enemy reacts or the attack fails, you may be surrounded.

"Don't say anything. I am the general of cavalry appointed by the king of the state, and I am also the chief commander. You just need to obey the military orders."

When Huo Yun saw Zheng Gong and Cai Pei, he wanted to say more, but he just waved his hand, walked to a place not far away, grabbed his spear, and walked out of the tent without any hesitation.

In a short while, he selected three thousand of the most elite cavalrymen, and as the night gradually darkened, they rushed towards the Nile Forest.

"Send a message to the whole army. At midnight, I will give the order and we will charge out on horseback. Everyone must hold two torches in their hands and throw them at any tents we come across. When the cavalry charges, do not stop and remember to follow me. Even if you die in battle, you must die on the way."

Huo Yun gave an order to the three thousand cavalrymen behind him. The spiritual power in his body flowed and a firm look filled the depths of his eyes.

……

The night gradually darkened and the sky turned gray.

Ye Feng was riding a warhorse, and the ground was full of corpses.

The army led by Pang De were all the elite of the Wei Dynasty.

Although they were forced to flee in all directions by Lady Xinling's cavalry, no soldier surrendered and almost all of them died in battle.

"How is it? How many soldiers are left?"

Ye Feng looked at Yang Zaixing who was walking towards him with a gloomy face not far away.

After the battle, he asked Yang Zaixing to quickly count the casualties of the soldiers.

Judging from Yang Zaixing's expression, the loss must have been considerable.

"Your Excellency, our central army now has only 20,000 soldiers left, and more than 5,000 of them are seriously injured. General Huang Lao's 30,000 archers also lost more than 8,000 of them, and more than 4,000 of them were seriously injured. Madam Xinling's 8,000 cavalry suffered slightly less damage, but more than 1,800 of them were killed, and more than 600 were seriously injured."

Yang Zaixing reported to Ye Feng in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng also took a deep breath.

War is cruel. Either you die or I live.

"The casualty ratio is already very good. You have to know that the soldiers led by Pang De are all elite soldiers of the Wei Dynasty. They were trained by me personally."

Ye Feng looked at the generals who had gathered around him and felt somewhat helpless. The soldiers trained by that guy Xuziyin were indeed beyond reproach.

The generals thought of the black-armored cavalry following Ye Feng and their combat effectiveness, and they felt relieved.

He was secretly glad in his heart that it was fortunate that the Queen of Wei, Lin Xiaoxiang, had crossed the river and destroyed the bridge, otherwise the Song Dynasty would have to face Ye Feng now, and it might really be destroyed.

"Report! Repay!"

At this moment, a scout not far away quickly came to Ye Feng and said, "Reporting to the Lord of Zhenguo, the Great Wei Dynasty sent 80,000 troops to help Pang De, but they were intercepted by the Black Armor Cavalry and the enemy army was completely wiped out."

When the generals heard this, they were all dumbfounded. They finally understood why Ye Feng had arranged the Black Armor Cavalry in Ma'anshan so early.

Ye Feng was very calm. The 30,000 black-armored cavalry led by Li Shanxiao had strong combat effectiveness. If they charged, they could easily defeat the enemy without any preparation.

"Send a message to Li Shanxiao, ordering him to lead the black armored cavalry and continue advancing from Ma'anshan under the cover of night, and ambush the enemy camp a hundred miles away, ready to attack the enemy camp at any time."

Ye Feng conveyed the order directly.

With the annihilation of the 200,000 troops led by Pang De, and the 80,000 troops annihilated by Li Shanxiao, the real elite troops in the army of the Great Wei Dynasty were only the more than 200,000 troops under Taishi Zi. As for the more than 100,000 troops drawn from the Sanyuan Sect, once the battle really started, most of them would inevitably be afraid of death and flee in the face of the enemy, which would affect the morale of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"As ordered!"

The scouts rode their war horses and headed quickly towards Ma'anshan.

"Order the entire army to return to Yuancheng and rest for a night."

Ye Feng rode on a warhorse and led the remaining army back to Yuancheng.

……

"Report! Report! General, General, something terrible has happened."

Tai Shi Zi stood in the central military tent, pacing continuously.

He looked worried.

Pang De led an army of 200,000 and attacked Yuancheng for so many days, but not only did he make no progress, he was counterattacked by the enemy army that came out of the city.

"what's up?"

Tai Shi Zi looked at the scout in front of him, who was the one he had arranged on the observation deck to monitor the situation in the direction of Yuancheng at any time.

"The 80,000 troops led by General Yan Cheng had not yet arrived outside Yuancheng to support General Pang when they were attacked by a cavalry unit that showed up halfway. In just a few hours, the entire army was wiped out."

The scout quickly reported the battle situation he saw to Tai Shi Zi.

"What did you say? Cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from?"

Tai Shi Zi's eyes widened.

The 80,000 troops led by Yan Cheng were not cannon fodder soldiers temporarily transferred from the Sanyuan Sect, but they were all the elite of the Great Wei Dynasty.

What kind of cavalry could wipe out Yan Cheng’s 80,000-strong army in just a few hours?

"I don't know where the cavalry came from. The distance was too far and I only saw a blurry picture. Yan Cheng's 80,000-man army had almost no ability to resist and was annihilated."

The scout also looked unhappy.

"Come here, send someone to investigate the situation on the scene immediately and report back immediately."

Tai Shi Zi's face was gloomy.

If Ye Feng still had such a cavalry.

Then it will be even more difficult for them to win this battle.
