Chapter 83: Crushing from Equipment

The Mongolian cavalry encountered their biggest Waterloo since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.

They never thought that someone could beat them to a pulp in the area of ​​riding, where they were best.

The opponent was like a cheater, hanging on the edge of his own cavalry team 500 meters away and shooting arrows crazily.

The maximum throwing distance of the crossbows manufactured by Tianyu has reached 1000 meters. Although 500 cannot reach the direct armor-piercing damage of 200 meters with full damage, it is enough to break the armor of today's era.

The Tanma Red Army wanted to close the distance with Xu Da and others.
But they soon discovered sadly that their war horses were not as fast or as agile as the enemy's horses.

God knows how those war horses could run so fast wearing heavy armor.

The livestock and grains bred according to the MC principle focus on quality rather than quantity.

In particular, the breeding of war horses requires Tianyu to tame them first, and then use golden apples to breed them.

It takes eight gold ingots to make a golden apple, and one gold ingot weighs ten taels of gold, which means that it takes 80 taels of gold to make a golden apple.

The birth of a horse requires two golden apples, which means that the breeding of each warhorse requires 160 taels of gold.

With the current purchasing power of gold, the price of producing a war horse is almost the same as the cost of building an airplane in modern times.

Tianyu used most of the gold he had dug in the past six years to feed the horses, and finally he could barely gather together these 1000 war horses to match the saddles he caught by fishing.

And the facts prove that MC's products are of high quality.

These horses bred according to MC rules are far superior to the horses in the real world in terms of strength and speed.

If it weren't for the fact that their parents came from the real world, Tianyu suspected that these horses would even have unlimited physical strength like himself.

Even if these war horses do not have infinite stamina,
But any horse carrying a set of brick and stone horse armor and Zhu Yuanzhang wearing a diamond suit can easily run for 24 hours without any problem.

At this time, consuming a bale of grass per 100 kilometers is no joke.

Coupled with a saddle that can make the horse move as if it were an arm,

Poor Jia Lu and others felt the despair of being crushed by equipment.

Never fought a war? Never seen blood? No actual combat experience?
None of this matters!

As long as they obey military orders, the Yuan cavalry on the opposite side will be nothing more than a group of moving targets.

After leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the Tanma Red Army finally realized that they were unable to fight against this rogue cavalry team in any way.

Jia Lu looked at the fleeing Tanma Chijun in disbelief and shuddered.
He finally understood why Tetsuli Buka ran away on his horse as if he had seen a ghost.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat quickly! Everyone, retreat to Luzhou City!"

Facing such iron cavalry, fighting in the wild plains is simply asking for death.

He now didn't even want to go back to the river, and directly ordered his men to retreat to Luzhou City.

This group of soldiers were originally transferred from Luzhou and other places. Now they no longer care about repairing the river and only want to escape back to their base.

Xu Da did not order a pursuit.

The horse is not tired, but the man is.

After all, they do not have unlimited physical strength like Tianyu. Everyone has been fighting in armor for a long time. Even if they are just firing crossbows from a distance, they will be exhausted both mentally and physically.

After a simple expulsion, the Tanma Red Army fled the scene in a panic, leaving behind nearly a thousand people.

The remaining defeated soldiers basically fled separately and could no longer form an army.

Xu Da ordered his cavalry to start cleaning up the battlefield and gather the surrendered new troops.

Finish off the enemies that are still alive, and then retrieve the arrows that have been shot and are not damaged.

The durability of a crossbow is 465. After this battle, the cavalry team almost used up half of the durability of the crossbow.

After all, the lethality of a crossbow is limited. To shoot an enemy to death, except for those unlucky ones who have a very small chance of hitting the vital point, the rest will need at least 14 or 15 crossbows or even more to do it. Basically, every dead enemy has thorns on his body like a hedgehog.

It was already evening when Zhu Yuanzhang and his militia arrived.
As expected, Han Shantong contributed another emoticon pack from the late Yuan Dynasty.

He originally thought that Xu Da could only harass the enemy at most, and if he was not careful he might even be surrounded and killed.

As a result, looking at the devastated battlefield and the thousands of surrendered soldiers who were controlled, Han Shantong wondered if he was dreaming.

Those were 20,000 regular troops, not the peasants he had gathered.

Xu Da led 500 people to defeat them?

Han Shantong once again felt that his three views had suffered an incomparable impact.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed no surprise at the outcome of the battle.
Instead, he frowned as he looked at the cavalrymen who were still picking up arrows on the battlefield.

"How many arrows did you use?"

Xu Da's proud face suddenly froze.
He smiled awkwardly, held up two fingers and said with a chuckle: "A little over 200..."

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed with a look of dismay:
"Asshole, you want to be an arrow for free, right?"

The supplies they brought with them were all purchased with their work points.

Xu Da smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

After training in the mountains for 6 years, everyone was so excited when they first came out of the mountains that they unconsciously started shooting at the group of Yuan soldiers.

In the past, we shot cattle and sheep, which was not as exciting as shooting enemies.

After this battle, this group of cavalrymen who had been training for many years had really seen blood and were no longer rookies.

Han Shantong didn't know how to react for a moment when he saw that this young general who had won a perfect victory was still being scolded.

If they were under my command, I would have held a grand ceremony for three days and rewarded them lavishly no matter what.

Similarly, members of the farmers' associations gathered from all over the place were looking at the thousands of surrendered soldiers and the tragic battlefield with shock on their faces.

Although they had witnessed the miracles displayed by Zhu Yuanzhang, they were at most auxiliary in nature.

As a result, after this "tough battle", they witnessed the combat effectiveness of the invincible cavalry from Taoyuan Township.

The combat effectiveness displayed by these one thousand cavalrymen is even comparable to those elite soldiers in some low-level martial arts worlds.

Everyone knelt down on the ground excitedly and shouted loudly:

"Long live the Lord God! Long live the Messenger of God!"

The deafening shouts resounded through the sky, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel excited.

Fortunately, these years of compulsory education did not make him lose his mind.

He waved his hand to the members of the Farmers' Association below, and the fanatical people fell silent in an instant.

Zhu Yuanzhang took out a loud speaker and shouted:

"We!... We are the saviors sent by the gods to save the people. We are angels who want the people to live and work in peace!"

"In the future, you will become warriors that the people admire and respect, just like us."

"From today on, everyone's personality is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, you don't need to bend your knees to anyone except to the heaven, the earth, and your parents!"

"Now! Target Huanglinggang! Let's go together to rescue those trapped villagers!"

Everyone raised their hands, holding Tianyu's portrait, and shouted as if they were on pilgrimage:

"┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~!"
