Chapter 762 Planning the Shadow Tiger Legion [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"And yet you still claim to be elusive and unpredictable?"

Wei Ju looked down upon the Shadow Tiger Legion. Once faced with an enemy force that outnumbered them, they immediately lost their will to fight and had no ability to resist at all.

The most crucial thing is that the Shadow Tiger Legion is known as the most mysterious legion, but it was completely defeated by them and had no legendary mobility and concealment at all.

Before the fight, Wei Ju had the greatest respect and importance for the Shadow Tiger Corps, treating it as if it were the Qin's Sharp Warriors Battalion and Bingzhou's Light Cavalry Battalion.

Therefore, every time he faced the Shadow Tiger Legion, he would fight with at least five times the force, or even more.

Unfortunately, there are always a bunch of soldiers who can’t pick up heads or military merits.

The navy thought they were incorporated into Bingzhou, but Wei Ju knew that there were no big rivers in Bingzhou, so the navy's final destination would be Qin.

Military merit can be exchanged for titles, especially for every regular Shadow Tiger Legion soldier, who is an opportunity for the lowest-level soldiers to achieve class transition.

As soon as the Qin army arrives, all the military merits they have gained in the early stage will be directly converted into Qin's merit points.

"It's just that the Shadow Tiger Legion relied on the lack of war horses and all-cavalry legions in the heartland of the Central Plains, so they were able to show off their power and were then deified by the State of Chu." Chief Clerk Wei Ming was equally disdainful.

Before the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry was seen, the Shadow Tiger Legion was indeed worthy of being deified by the entire Central Plains.

But after seeing the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry and comparing it with the Shadow Tiger Legion, Wei Ming said that it was nothing special!
For a normal person to be able to maneuver around a fixed object, only a first- or second-rate martial arts master can do it.

The Bingzhou Blood Cavalry were able to perform various dodges and maneuvers on high-speed moving war horses, and even switch between two high-speed war horses, and could suddenly gallop or stop.

"It's normal. A Bingzhou Blood Cavalry needs at least three to five years of professional training. Many Blood Cavalry soldiers have even been dealing with war horses since childhood. The Central Plains does not have such unique conditions. It's just that they are the tallest among the short ones." Yun Danu, one of the generals sent by the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry to guide the navy in combat, explained with a smile.

As for the combat effectiveness of the Shadow Tiger Legion, it is not even as good as the reserve cavalry in Bingzhou, let alone being compared with the regular blood cavalry and those elite troops who have made a special name for themselves!

Originally, Li Ren was worried that Wei Ju and the navy did not know how to deal with the cavalry. He was also sure that the first enemy the navy would encounter would definitely be the Shadow Tiger Legion of Chu, so he sent Yun Danu and other elite officers of the Blood Cavalry to provide guidance.

The fundamental reason why the navy was able to find the weaknesses of the Shadow Tiger Legion so accurately was because no one knew cavalry better than Bingzhou.

After Yun Danu and others observed the Shadow Tiger Legion for a period of time, it was easy for them to calculate the Shadow Tiger Legion's marching speed and camping location.

Therefore, the navy was able to accurately ambush and attack the Shadow Tiger Legion, and the Shadow Tiger Legion lost its mystery in front of this group of top cavalry generals and had nowhere to hide.

"I think..." Yun Danu and other cavalry generals looked at each other. Yun Danu spoke first, which also showed his status among these generals.

Maybe Yun Danu's position and title are not the highest among this group of observers and guides, but his status is the most respected.

"General Yun, please speak!" Wei Ju also knew Yun Damu's identity. He was one of his brother's direct disciples.

"Wipe out the Shadow Tiger Legion!" Yun said angrily and seriously.

"This..." Wei Ju was stunned. He had thought about all of Yun Damu's suggestions, and also thought about Bingzhou's arrogance and madness. The only thing he didn't expect was that Bingzhou was so bold that he actually wanted to wipe out the Shadow Tiger Legion.

"We have observed that the Shadow Tiger Legion has not received any support from other Chu legions. Although they are fighting in Chu, they are isolated and fighting alone. As long as we operate properly, we have a chance to annihilate the Shadow Tiger Legion."

Yun Danu analyzed the battlefield situation bit by bit, and comprehensively analyzed the strategy of annihilating the Shadow Tiger Legion. "This..." Wei Ju did not speak, but looked at the other generals of the navy.

The naval commanders were also breathing rapidly, being able to completely annihilate a main army of the princes was something they would never dare to dream of.

However, after reading the little bit of analysis from the Bingzhou Observation and Guidance Group, they felt that the Shadow Tiger Legion was just so-so and they could just wipe them out if they had the strength.

The winning streak during this period has also made them believe in the capabilities of the Bingzhou Observation and Guidance Group.

"The cavalry is actually not as powerful as imagined!" The generals of the Bingzhou observation group pointed out the shortcomings of the cavalry one by one.

Others are afraid of the Shadow Tiger Legion because there are too few cavalry in the Central Plains. They have become myths, such as one cavalryman can defeat ten infantrymen, and cavalrymen are more elite than infantrymen. That is because of the terrain restrictions.

Fighting in the jungle, one elite mountain infantryman can kill ten cavalrymen.

The advantage of cavalry is fighting on plains, which is due to terrain restrictions.

All arms have their own value and advantages, and top generals can maximize the advantages of their soldiers.

The Shadow Tiger Legion is unmatched in combat power on the plains, but if they move to mountainous terrain, the infantry can defeat them.

It's like you let the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry fight against the navy on the water. The navy doesn't even need to take action, just creating huge waves can beat the Blood Cavalry to pieces.

As one of the best cavalry generals in the world, Bingzhou knows how to bring out the absolute advantages of cavalry, but he is also well aware of its shortcomings.

Wei Ju thought more. He had the ambition to enter the Temple of Martial Arts, but this ambition could not be achieved by helping the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry and the Qin Army to destroy the State of Chu as an auxiliary force.

The navy is not only capable of wreaking havoc on the water, it can also annihilate an army on land.

As long as they can wipe out the Shadow Tiger Legion before the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry and the Qin Army's elite soldiers arrive, who would dare to use their navy as a means of transportation?

Similarly, the senior generals of the navy also knew clearly that if they wanted to be in high positions and have power in the future, they needed not only heads but also great achievements.

The great function of completely annihilating the Shadow Tiger Legion allowed them to submit an absolute token of their allegiance to the Qin State and gain a firm foothold in the Qin State.

For the lower-level soldiers, if they completely wipe out the Shadow Tiger Legion, they can also achieve class transition.

As people who live on the water and use boats as their homes, don’t they want to migrate to the shore?
Therefore, as long as there is a slight possibility, they can burst out with great fighting power and will.

This is how military morale can be boosted!
What's more, they now have the world's strongest cavalry observation and guidance group to guide them in fighting against the Shadow Tiger Legion.

"Let's do it!" Wei Ju looked at his generals, and after getting their eye feedback, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Isn't it just a full landing and giving up the water advantage?
Even though they had already withdrawn 20,000 men to transport the Blood Knights, leaving 30,000 men to garrison Zhongli, and some to guard the warships, there were less than 50,000 soldiers available. However, a lot of the Shadow Tiger Legion had been wiped out by them during this period, so there was no imbalance in the number of men.

At worst, if they can't win, they can just retreat back to the water.
