Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 35 Absolute Crushing
"drink!"

The general of the cavalry shouted loudly, and by virtue of his extraordinary bravery, he blocked the first knife with a single shot, and sent out the barrel of the spear with his backhand, and the spear stabbed hard at the neck of a Xiliang cavalry.

The neck is covered with soft armor, and its defense is a little weak. The cavalry captain pierced it with a spear, and when he pulled it out, the tip of the steel spear was already dyed bright red.

Pfft!
The Xiliang soldier fell off his horse without saying a word, and died.

Seeing this, the cavalry captain was not only not happy, but was full of fear in his heart and face.

"This, these guys are simply not human..."

he murmured.

Looking up, the cavalry unit of our own side has almost collapsed, only a few hundred people are still fighting, while the enemy is endless, filling every inch of the gap.

If it was only the difference in numbers, the cavalry generals would not be so fearful.

What made him terrified was that he found that these cavalrymen of the Northern Army were as brave as ghosts and fearless of death!
The cavalry of one's own side shouted loudly when they attacked, and screamed and screamed when they fell.

But the Zhenbei Army on the opposite side, whether they were killing or being killed, almost kept silent.

They only killed in silence, only making the terrifying sound of blades hitting bodies and bones.

This not only collapsed the cavalry general, but also all his subordinates.

"They are evil spirits!!"

A cavalryman couldn't bear the pressure any longer, and turned his horse's head to run back, but was immediately pierced through the back of the horse by a Xiliang cavalryman.

"what!!!"

The shrill screams tore at the psychological defense of every Gongsun Kuo cavalry.

Every scream was made by their people. On the other hand, the Zhenbei Army just didn't say a word, harvesting their lives like a god of death.

They are completely devastated.

The remaining hundreds of cavalry from Gongsun Kuo's army turned their horses around one after another and ran away. The whole team was in chaos, and no serious military discipline was left at this moment. Seeing how they were chaotically running around, they might not be as good as a group of desert horse bandits.

"Calm! Calm!!"

Gongsun Kuo's generals watched this scene from afar, shouting loudly, and at the same time making the flag soldiers play semaphore wildly.

But no one cared, the cavalry team was completely defeated, and even the main infantry unit with Gongsun Kuo was completely trapped in the encirclement of tens of thousands of Northern Army cavalry.

"Trash! They're all trash!" Gongsun Kuo watched as his thousands of cavalry collapsed under the impact of the Zhenbei Army. He could no longer maintain his usual elegant demeanor, and he pulled his hair and cursed like a shrew.

"This is the soldier brought out by Su Tufeng! Trash!!!"

"General! It's useless to scold now, let the army hold fast!"

Wang Dan on the side was also completely impatient. As the commander of the army, it is extremely incompetent not to make a decisive decision at this time, but to curse the street at the top of his voice.

If it wasn't for the glimmer of hope in his heart, he probably couldn't resist drawing his sword and stabbing Gongsun Kuo directly.

"Yes, stick to it!" Gongsun Kuo came back to his senses, and commanded in a hurry, "The swords and shields are all in front! Also, let the soldiers stationed in the Northern Xinjiang camp come to support! Quick!"

The cavalry was defeated, and Gongsun Kuo's infantry army quickly entered the state of standing on the spot. The sword and shield soldiers formed a circle to block the front, the archers and spearmen stayed behind, and Gongsun Kuo and his personal guards shrank in the innermost.

Although the formation was established, most of the soldiers showed a dazed and fearful look, and the front row continued to shrink back. The overall desire to fight was very low.

Su Yuan in the distance looked at this scene, shook his head and said, "It's really vulnerable."

"Master, the enemy soldiers seem to have lost their fighting spirit." Zhu Jian said.

"They must have no fighting spirit and morale, because Gongsun Kuo, a waste, doesn't understand at all that this is not a war with enough mobilization." Su Yuan said calmly.

When Su Tufeng was alive, he taught the original owner Su Yuan a lot of knowledge about the art of war.

After Su Yuan traveled, he also had the memory of this knowledge.

In terms of morale, Su Tufeng once told him that in a war, morale is a very crucial decisive factor.

If the morale is sufficient, even if the casualty rate is higher, the soldiers will not be afraid or easily defeated, but will fight the enemy to the end.

If morale is low, it only takes a few casualties to shake up other soldiers.

After all, morale is very simple, that is, when soldiers are willing to die for this war, morale is high; when soldiers are unwilling to die for this war, morale is low.

The soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang camp were trained by Su Tufeng. In his hands, this army fought ferociously and was omnipotent.But why would the same army become so unbearable in the hands of Gongsun Kuo?
The reason is simple, that is, the soldiers do not have enough desire to fight, and Gongsun Kuo has insufficient mobilization ability.

In the past, when Su Tufeng was in charge of the army, he would do enough mobilization work before every battle.

Just like before every war with the Beirong people, Su Tufeng would tell the soldiers that the Beirong people have repeatedly invaded the Dazhou border, plundered and killed people, and committed all kinds of evil, and we have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the border and protect the people of Dazhou behind us!
Su Tufeng will lead the army to fight only after mobilizing the soldiers' feelings of hatred and hatred. With such high morale, the army's combat effectiveness is naturally strong.

This is why some armies can fight until there is only one person left, but that person is still willing to die. What supports his spirit is the hatred of the country and the family.

But at the moment Gongsun Kuo is leading the army, there was no mobilization before, and he only used a dry "crusade against the traitor Su Yuan" to make a conquest order. The son of the old prince went to war, and his desire to fight was even lower.

In this way, going out without a good psychological preparation, coupled with being ambushed, and discovering that the number of enemies is several times that of our own, and the equipment is more sophisticated than our own, and all of them are tall and fearless...

With all kinds of conditions superimposed, it's no wonder that the morale of Gongsun Kuo's army didn't collapse.

This is the basis of Su Tufeng's training. If they were replaced by other ordinary troops, they would have turned their backs and surrendered by now.

On the other hand, Su Yuan's Xiliang iron cavalry are all summoning soldiers, it doesn't matter what morale is or not, if you have to say it, they are always in peak morale state.

Mei Jian said at this time: "Master, are you going to destroy them all next?"

"Do not."

Su Yuan shook his head, and ordered the tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry who surrounded Gongsun Kuo's army to use their advantages to fight.

riding and shooting.

In addition to frontal charge, Xiliang cavalry's riding and shooting ability is also very powerful, with a very high hit rate.

As a result, tens of thousands of cavalry raced around Gongsun Kuo's army while shooting arrows with bows and crossbows, causing a large number of casualties visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Gongsun Kuo was in a hurry, and he only wanted to let the archers shoot back, but the Xiliang iron cavalry had full armor on them, and they were not afraid of the arrows at all.

The ratio of casualties between the two sides is almost exaggerated to the extreme. The Zhenbei army shot and killed dozens of people, and Gongsun Kuo's army may only shoot one person.

This cruel scene caused some soldiers to completely break their hearts. Many soldiers dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground trembling with their heads in their hands.

Some generals cursed at this, but no one listened to them, and more and more soldiers put down their weapons.

Seeing that the time had come, Su Yuan ordered all Xiliang iron cavalry to speak out in unison.

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

For a moment, the roar of tens of thousands of fierce men shook the heavens and the earth, accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, as fierce and mighty as thunder in the daytime.

In the Chinese Army Guards, Gongsun Kuo's legs went limp when he heard the shouts, he was so frightened that he slumped on the ground with a thud, unable to recover for a long time.
