toot...
The long and dull sound of the horn grew more and more urgent and prolonged.
Under the attention of Li Zhiyun and the others, the dark crowd in the distance quickly approached.
It was time for them to stop when they were about a kilometer away from them.
Sun Hua and Tang Jian rode in front of the battle.
Sun Hua looked at the square formation formed by the thousand cavalry before looking at the huge formation formed by the seventy thousand soldiers behind him.
His heart relaxed.
Sun Hua took out a bright yellow triangular flag from his pocket and waved it a few times in a regular pattern.
With a whoosh, the army formation at the front behind them made way.
Behind him, soldiers dressed in messy farm clothes and holding knives, spears, swords, and even harrows and hoes rushed out.
Tang Jian did not say anything after reading it.
He knew Sun Hua's purpose.
These soldiers were just miscellaneous soldiers in the Revolutionary Army, the kind of consumables used to exhaust the enemy's courage.
To put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder.
Sun Hua's motive for doing this was clear. He didn't want to lose too many elites in the first wave of cavalry attacks.
Not to mention the Revolutionary Army, even his lord in Taiyuan had such consumables.
The reason was simple. Everyone's financial resources were not enough to arm all the soldiers.
They could only choose the most elite to arm themselves.
As the cannon fodder was consumed time and time again, those who could survive would become elite soldiers.
This was the fastest and most effective way to train soldiers in a chaotic world.
Sun Hua kept these elites to serve his lord in the future. In addition, Tang Jian did not think that Li Zhiyun could defeat them with a thousand cavalry, so he did not stop him.
The number of miscellaneous soldiers was far more than the elite main army.
Sun Hua's army had seventy thousand soldiers, and fifty thousand of them were just ordinary soldiers. The true elites were only around ten thousand.
This was even after the Guanzhong clan secretly sent him weapons and armor. Otherwise, this number might have been even less.
"Zhiyun, Sun Hua wants to use cannon fodder to exhaust us.”Wan Xuandao rode beside Li Zhiyun and said worriedly,""Once we get caught in the midst of tens of thousands of soldiers, we'll be in danger.”
On the other hand, Li Zhiyun smiled when he saw the other party's actions.
The confidence on his face grew stronger and stronger. He sneered,"Sun Hua is courting death! The small fries can indeed wear us out, but he has also forgotten a principle. Once tens of thousands of small fries collapse and the elite army behind him is swept away, even the Great Immortal will not be able to save him!”
Wan Xuandao's eyes lit up.
Indeed, not only were the miscellaneous soldiers not well-equipped, but their combat skills and fighting will were also not strong enough.
As long as the miscellaneous soldiers collapsed, the scattered soldiers would sweep over and turn into the most terrifying scene.
However, the prerequisite was that the minions were defeated!
Could he do it?
Wan Xuandao still felt uneasy.
He glanced at his nephew from the corner of his eyes and gritted his teeth."Zhiyun, let me lead the charge.”
Li Zhiyun shook his head and said indifferently,""Uncle, you can't. Your identity can't convince the cavalrymen who charged into the formation with you.”
Wan Xuandao was stunned for a moment. He realized that his status was not as noble as Li Zhiyun's. If he were to lead the cavalry to charge into the formation, the cavalrymen who had just been pacified might have other thoughts and would not charge into the formation with all their strength.
Li Zhiyun was different.
No matter what, Li Zhiyun's status in the army and his own bloodline were both higher than his.
Li Zhiyun turned his horse around and looked at the uneasy cavalrymen behind him as he ordered loudly.
"Send out 500 cavalrymen and follow me as the first wave to charge into the formation. The remaining 500 cavalrymen will follow Commandant Wan's orders. The first wave of cavalrymen will get 20% of the goods seized by the bandits. The last wave of cavalrymen who follow Commandant Wan will get 10% of the goods. Sun Hua has been running amok in the fertile land of Guanzhong for a long time.”
Li Zhiyun had no other choice. For the time being, he could only use wealth to stimulate these people's desire to fight.
"I'll follow General Li to charge into the formation!”
"Count me in!"
……
With such a great reward, there would definitely be brave men. Sun Hua's wealth was even more attractive than Li Zhiyun's promised pension.
During this period of time, Sun Hua's bandit army had attacked the city and plundered an unknown amount of land. If they could split 20% of it among 500 people, it would definitely be much more than what Li Zhiyun had promised.
Soon, the five hundred cavalrymen were gathered.
Li Zhiyun turned his head and nodded at Wan Xuandao.
Wan Xuandao immediately jumped off his horse and came to the side of the other warhorse he had been leading.
Everyone looked at it curiously. This warhorse had already made them curious. It was dragging a few large bundles on it, and there were tinkling sounds coming from inside. Now, the curtain was finally about to be lifted.
Whoosh.
A few bundles fell to the ground, revealing thumb-sized chains inside.
"The first wave of 500 charging soldiers," Li Zhiyun ordered loudly."Five people in a row, and each horse is connected to each other by iron chains.”
Chain Horse!
This was an important part of Li Zhiyun's 1,000 cavalry taking the risk to fight against tens of thousands of soldiers.
These cavalrymen were all veterans of the battlefield. It was very obvious that they could see the drawbacks of this iron chain horse at a glance.
The iron chains connected the warhorses together, restricting their movement and dodging.
The danger would definitely be very high!
Therefore, he hesitated for a moment.
This was within Li Zhiyun's expectations.
" I know what you're afraid of," Li Zhiyun said loudly." Riches come from danger. I, Li Zhiyun, will definitely rush in front of you. If you see me falling behind you, you can kill me with one slash."”
"Damn it, wealth comes from danger. As long as General Li keeps your word and gives my family compensation after you die, I'm willing!”Finally, someone shouted.
Soon, all five hundred cavalrymen moved. They took the iron chains that Wan Xuandao had distributed and connected them together.
Li Zhiyun was relieved. He laughed and said,""That's more like it. As expected of a man from Guanzhong. He exterminated Sun Hua and sealed his wife and children!”
"Exterminate Sun Hua and seal his wife and children!"
"Exterminate Sun Hua and seal his wife and children!"
……
The 1,000 cavalrymen were stimulated by Li Zhiyun's promise. Their eyes were red as they shouted, and their voices reached the other side.
Humph!
Sun Hua couldn't help but let out a cold snort. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he sneered,"You're courting death! Press on!" Sun Hua was infuriated by the shouts of the 1,000 cavalrymen.
He made the decision to use the infantry to attack the cavalry.
No one warned Sun Hua that this was against common sense, because they all felt that even if the infantry took the initiative to attack, 70,000 against 1,000, they would still win!
