Chapter 264 The Cavalry Attacks(1/2)

Conflict often only requires a word, or maybe just a look.

When Jiang Yuan, the leader of the Jiang clan, took the lead to stand up against King Yi Quhan of Yiqu, and when more and more Yiqu nobles showed their dissatisfaction, a conflict inevitably broke out.

I don’t know which side was the first to swing the sword. The moment the body fell into a pool of blood, the conflict between the two sides was already irreconcilable.

Next, starting from King Yiqu's tent, which was supposed to be inoffensive, a battle broke out between the two sides.

These comrades who were still fighting side by side during the day have now become enemies. They swung the daggers in their hands forward without mercy.

When the sharp sword blade pierced the flesh and blood, painful wails immediately sounded, and then there were cold corpses on the ground.

The stimulation of blood ignited the ferocity in the hearts of every canal soldier. They tirelessly waved the sharp blades in their hands and cold-bloodedly killed every enemy in front of them.

Seeing all the chaos in his eyes, watching helplessly the fall of a nominal canal soldier, a young man next to Jiang Yuan showed a somewhat anxious look on his face.

"Father, is it inappropriate for us to rebel against the king at this moment?"

"Our army has just experienced a defeat, and the Wei army is still watching in Yuzhi City. If both sides suffer, isn't it my Yiqu's strength that will be damaged?"

"Huh, Your Majesty, what kind of king is he Yi Quhan?"

A cold snort came out of Jiang Yuan's mouth, and his ferocious wolf-like eyes swept across the front coldly.

"If he hadn't escaped before the battle, how could my ten thousand Yiqu warriors have died in vain on the battlefield."

"The moment he chose to lead the army and abandon his soldiers and flee, he had lost the qualification to become the King of Yiqu."

"Besides, because of Bai Ri's defeat, Yi Quhan's prestige has declined to the bottom. Now is our best opportunity."

"Why can King Yiqu only be from the Yiqu clan? Why can't I, the Jiang clan, sit on that throne?"

Having said this, Jiang Yuan's eyes looked forward with a hint of coldness, and his right hand slowly touched the dagger at his waist.

When the sharp sword blade was unsheathed, a crisp sword cry sounded, and Jiang Yuan was seen using the sword blade to guide the direction of his soldiers.

"Warriors, kill..."

"kill……"

The cry of killing rang out among the troops, which further aroused the fighting spirit in the hearts of Jiang's soldiers.

They waved the daggers in their hands and rushed towards the Yiqu soldiers on the opposite side like a tide. The violent waves hit the embankment in front of them powerfully.

Seeing that his own defense line was showing signs of weakness under the attack of Jiang's soldiers, the young Yiqu Prince Yiqucang's face immediately showed some anxiety.

"Father, the rebels are powerful and our army seems to be unable to resist them."

"Why panic!"

A sharp shout came out of Yi Quhan's mouth. The king of Yiqu looked at his son, his eyes full of seriousness.

The father and son looked at each other for a long time, and then Yi Quhan gradually moved his eyes away to the Jiang family soldiers in front who were approaching step by step.

"For so many years, I have underestimated Jiang Yuan. I didn't expect that he would have such strong strength in his hands."

"But that's fine. Instead of letting him grow stronger later, it's better to kill him now."

"Dare to compete with my Yiqu family, I wonder if the Jiang family has this strength?"

With his right hand, he pulled out the sword from his waist. Yi Quhan pointed his long sword towards the sky and issued an order to his soldiers.

"According to my king's orders, the entire army will attack and defeat the rebels. After the victory, I will share the wealth, cattle, sheep, and pasture owned by the rebels with all the warriors."

"Follow orders."

Under heavy reward, there must be a brave man. This saying is indeed a truth that has been tested and unbroken.

Under the temptation of Yi Quhan's generous reward, the morale of the Yiqu clan's soldiers immediately rose.

On the battlefield at this moment, there is obviously a tug-of-war between the two sides. It is impossible to see who has the advantage and who is at a disadvantage.

In the Yiqu camp, while the Yiqu clan and the Jiang clan were fighting, an army quietly came near them.

"General, there was a sudden shouting and killing sound in the Yiqu camp. It seems that there is a civil strife."

Listening to the deputy general's report and looking at the scene of flames in front of him, the general wearing red light armor nodded gently.

From the color of the armor they wore, the identity of this army was already clear. Yes, these were the 10,000 Wei cavalry who did not participate in the battle during the day.

Under the order of General Sun Boling, this Wei cavalry team had arrived to the west of Yuzhi City and was on standby before the war began.

After Harvest Yiqu's army was defeated and camped fifty miles west of Yuzhi City, the cavalry immediately galloped ten miles away from the camp and quietly came to the vicinity of the camp under the cover of night.

The original order given by General Sun Boling to this Wei cavalry was to rely on surprise attacks to deter Yiqu's army, and thereby expand the advantage that the Wei army gained by relying on victory.

But after seeing the chaotic scene in front of him, the thoughts of the Wei cavalry commander suddenly changed.

"God is really helping me, Wei!"

The cheerful smile on his face flashed away, and he pulled out the long sword from his waist with his right hand, and a sharp edge burst out from his eyes.

"My general ordered the cavalry to be divided into two teams and launch a surprise attack on the Yiqu camp from the east and north."

"Remember that the enemy's army is far more numerous than ours. All we have to do is to expand the chaos as much as possible, and we cannot stop fighting."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Wei cavalry general raised the long sword in his hand and immediately rushed towards the Yiqu camp not far away.

"kill……"

Under the guidance of the shouts of killing, the cavalry team originally gathered in one place was divided into two teams, and they rushed into the defense line of Yiqu Camp like two sharp blades.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The soldiers of Yiqu, who were concentrating on the civil war, would never have thought that an army that was neither an enemy nor a friend would suddenly appear behind them.

With the sound of the bowstring vibrating, countless feathered arrows were thrown out. The Yiqu soldiers who were caught off guard almost didn't have time to react before they were killed by the arrows coming from behind.

Suffering a pincer attack from the front and rear, both the soldiers of the Yiqu clan and the soldiers of the Jiang clan seemed to have been struck by lightning. Most of the Yiqu soldiers were at a loss as to what to do.

As the Wei army's cavalry offensive deepened and deepened, and even tended to tear apart the defense lines of the two armies, I don't know who shouted the first sentence, and a rout inevitably occurred in the camp.

The defeat was like a mountain falling, and everything happened in an instant.

Looking at the tribesmen fleeing like headless flies in the field of vision, and looking at the soldiers who fell under the sword of the Wei army like chopping melons and vegetables, Yi Qucang's eyes were filled with only despair.

"God won't bless me Yiqu, God won't bless me Yiqu!"

While Yi Qucang was lamenting in his heart, a right hand directly touched his arm. The next thing that caught his eyes was not his father, Wang Yi Quhan.

"Father..."

"Now that the situation is not conducive to us, there is only one thing we can do right now, and that is to escape from this place as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned over and jumped onto the horse beside him. Seeing that his son Yi Qucang had also mounted the horse, Yi Quhan looked back again.

Looking at the red Wei troops who were still wreaking havoc in the camp, a fierce look flashed across Yi Quhan's eyes, and then his right hand firmly grasped the reins of the war horse beneath him.

"let's go……"

After giving an order, King Yiqu abandoned his soldiers mercilessly again and led nearly 20,000 cavalry to continue to flee westward.

After Yi Quhan's side withdrew from the battlefield, the Wei army was not too eager to fight. After charging for a while again, it quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

As for the Jiang clan, which first fought against the Yiqu clan and was attacked from behind by the Wei army, they also suffered heavy losses in this battle.

After seeing his two enemies withdraw from the battlefield one after another, the leader of the Jiang clan, Jiang Yuan, after swallowing the bitter pill of losing most of his life, led his clan members and more than 10,000 people from the clan who followed them towards the north.

This battle was a heavy loss for Yiqu's side. After civil strife and then a surprise attack, 30,000 soldiers either died on the battlefield or fled in all directions.

The result of this battle was brilliant for the Wei side. Relying on the internal contradictions in Yiqu, the sudden offensive of the Wei cavalry inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.

It can be said that after the internal melee and the night attack by the Wei army, the balance of the war between the two sides has gradually tilted towards the Wei side.



Wei State, Yuzhi City.

When the first ray of morning light fell on the earth, the Wei cavalry, which had just won a great victory, had already returned to Yuzhi City, which had fallen into the hands of Wei.

Just when the cavalry commander ordered his cavalry to return to camp and he was about to take a good rest, an order appeared in his ears.

"General Wei, the general orders you to go see him immediately without any mistake."

"Follow orders."

Although after a night of fighting and long-distance raids, the cavalry commander was not in good spirits at the moment, but he could only choose to obey the military orders.

In this way, under the leadership of a Wei army guard, the cavalry general walked to a large tent.

What the cavalry general did not expect was that there was already a familiar figure waiting for him outside the tent.

"The last general Wei Xian, please see General Zhai Liang."

Zhai Liang did not respond to Wei Xuan's words with any words, but what greeted Wei Xuan was Zhai Liang's powerful fist.

After a dull sound, Zhai Liang's face was already full of smiles, "Good boy, you did a good job, I heard about it."

"Under your command, only 10,000 cavalry were used to inflict heavy losses on Yiqu's army. Yiqu lost tens of thousands of people in one night attack."

"color!"

Facing Zhai Liang's applause for him, although Wei Xuan showed a smile on his face, he did not show any complacency.

"This is not just my fault."

"If it weren't for the civil strife in Yiqu, how could our army have such an excellent opportunity? If it weren't for the sacrifice of our soldiers, how would we have achieved such a brilliant record."
