Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 842: First Encounter with the Zhenxi Army

Gui Tengwu's team moved slowly because they were driving a horse-drawn carriage.

He was also worried that the army of Cannes would attack them, so he kept urging his soldiers to move faster.

No matter how fast he is, he can never be faster than a warhorse.

We had been pulling the carriage for less than half an hour when we felt the ground shaking.

They were all veterans on the battlefield, so they knew that a large group of cavalry was coming.

"Everyone, prepare for battle, assemble in a defensive formation, the enemy cavalry is coming."

Gui Teng Wu shouted orders, asking the soldiers to use the carriages as cover to defend against the cavalry's attack.

When Gui Tengwu and his companions were looting along the coast, they rarely engaged in battles with large groups of cavalry, and mostly fought with large groups of infantry.

After entering the Central Plains, all the battles were siege battles, and there was never any positional battle.

This was his first experience with the Zhenxi Army's cavalry, and he encountered them in the wilderness.

This was also the beginning of his first nightmare after fighting against a large army.

The Zhenxi cavalry, which even the Tatars feared, rushed over from a distance.

Seeing rows of carriages blocking the road, Cui Ying waved on his warhorse, signaling the cavalry behind him to split into two teams and charge from both sides.

The five thousand cavalry immediately split up, like two streams of silver water, bypassing hundreds of carriages and attacking Gui Tengwu's infantry from both wings.

Tens of thousands of black-clad pirates had no idea how powerful the cavalry was. They waved their straight swords and howled as they rushed forward.

The next moment, the herd of war horses, which had increased their speed to the highest level, roared and crashed into the black ocean in front of them.

The saber was swung, reaping lives.

The high-speed charging war horses, with their bumps and kicks, caused the black-clad pirates to be routed instantly.

Although they still fought desperately, facing the overwhelming strength of the war horses, they were still unable to stop their advance.

Because Gui Tengwu's plan failed, Tsuruta Shengren and Taki Liusha's team have already landed, exited the moat, and returned to Qiancheng.

On the ground west of the city, there were only Gui Tengwu's 15,000 men, who wanted to rob the carriage and retreat.

But unfortunately, he encountered the cavalry from Zhenxi.

Fifteen thousand infantrymen against the five thousand cavalrymen of Zhenxi.

The result can be imagined.

One in front and one behind, Gui Tengwu's 15,000 men were torn to pieces by the war cavalry and had no power to resist.

Gui Tengwu discovered that these cavalrymen not only had amazing impact power, but the crossbows in their hands were also too scary.

Under continuous shooting, the crossbow arrows are very sharp.

He used the straight knife in his hand to knock a crossbow arrow away, and the force of the knife made his hand numb.

What a strong force.

What kind of weapon is this?

What surprised him even more was that when many soldiers fought with the cavalry, their proud straight swords were directly chopped off by the enemy.

I don’t know what kind of knife the other party uses. How can everyone have such a sharp sword?

Shouldn't such a precious sword be very rare?

With many questions in mind, Gui Teng Wu was about to collapse. His 15,000 men were being ravaged by the enemy's cavalry right in front of him, and countless soldiers were chopped down.

Even more soldiers were trampled into pulp by war horses.

Ghost Vine Five screamed: "Retreat, retreat, gather in formation and defend, gather in formation..."

The invincible battle scene has become a special word for the other side on this battlefield.

When infantry fights against cavalry, they cannot defeat them, but it is also difficult for them to escape.

How can two legs outrun four legs?

At the end of the fight, Gui Tengwu's soldiers began to flee in all directions, losing their direction.

However, the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army still carried out the pursuit in an orderly manner in teams of thirty.

Only at this point did Gui Teng Wu begin to understand why Emperor Taisho, Zhao Zheng, had urged him not to provoke the Zhenxi Army in Kancheng.

It turns out that the combat power of the Zhenxi Army is so terrifying.

There are about 5,000 war cavalry in front of us. It is said that there are nearly 20,000 cavalry stationed in Kancheng and Xuncheng.

If all of them were to go out, even the more than 30,000 of them would probably not be able to withstand the enemy's attack.

Gui Teng Wu led the remaining team and jumped into the moat of Kyoto City again, floating downstream at an extremely fast speed.

Fortunately, there was a moat, which allowed Gui Tengwu to protect a team of nearly 5,000 people.

Nearly 10,000 others are still missing.

When he led his team back to Qiancheng, he almost cried out loud.

The loss is too heavy!

The Zhenxi Army is too brutal!

How can I explain this to my family?

Cui Ying led a team of 5,000 cavalry and killed 7,000 to 8,000 enemies in one battle.

This battle made Cui Ying full of energy and high spirits.

Hu Jincai discovered that Cui Ying, who had returned from the battlefield, seemed like a different person, more energetic and imposing.

It suddenly reminded him of the scene when he first met Cui Ying. The four or five soldiers stationed at the Lingdouzi beacon tower were stunned and drooling when they saw Cui Ying.

A few years passed, and the Cui Ying we first met was back again.

Inside Kyoto City, Zhao Fengchun was scolding the officers stationed at the west gate.

It was so thrilling.

The rebels almost succeeded in their sneak attack.

The consequences could be disastrous.

The news soon reached King Rui's ears.

Prince Rui was immediately furious and ordered the commander of the Royal Guard, Zhao Fengchun, to come to the palace for an audience immediately.

Zhao Fengchun had just vented his anger on several officers, and when he heard Prince Rui asking him to see him immediately, his calves began to cramp.

When he arrived at Prince Rui's mansion, he found that Prince Lu was also there, Ma Buxuan was also there, as well as Zhao Shuo, Zhao Gui, Ju Chaoyue, Wei Ming and other senior generals of the Imperial Guard.

Except for Prince Lu, everyone else stood there with their heads lowered, listening to the lecture.

Zhao Fengchun quietly stood behind the crowd, also with his head lowered and his body hunched.

Prince Rui had been cursing for a while and was catching his breath when he saw Zhao Fengchun.

"Commander Zhao is here. Come closer and tell me what's going on."

Zhao Fengchun's calves trembled as he took a few steps forward.

The others immediately made way for him, allowing him to appear before King Rui.

"Your Majesty, I have already... strengthened..."

"Why are you strengthening your ass? The city was almost breached, and you still have the nerve to strengthen yours? What were you doing before?"

Zhao Fengchun was different from the others, as his immediate superior was Prince Rui, and he was directly in charge of the city defense force. So, when he heard Prince Rui cursing, he immediately fell to his knees.

King Rui quickly poked his finger into his forehead.

"Zhao Fengchun, my entire family in Jingdu City is here. Because of your one mistake, the city is destroyed and everyone is dead. How dare you still live with your head held high?"

Zhao Fengchun lowered his head and dared not speak.

"These pirates are extremely ferocious. The Imperial Guards have been forced to retreat step by step. If they enter the city, the consequences can be imagined. You must be extremely vigilant to protect your country and the Imperial City."

Having said that, King Rui glanced at everyone.

"Can someone give me a detailed report on what went wrong?"

Zhao Gui was the former commander of the Royal Guard Battalion and was very familiar with city defense.

"Uncle Wang, it was those pirates who sneaked into the moat at night and waited until noon today. They planned to seize the west gate when it was open and then break into the city."

Ju Chaoyue also said: "The rebels outside the city are attacking the city very quickly, just to cooperate with the pirates to steal the city."

King Rui let out a sigh: "Who discovered it, and who reported it?"
