Chapter 154: Greedy Wolf Attack
The Lion Roar Battalion of the New Han Dynasty is marching from Rain Sun Valley to Kaiyuan City. Han Linfu, King of the New Han Dynasty, is riding a tall horse. This horse is the purest Great Wilderness Ink Kirin..
The horse was tall and strong. Its fur was black and shiny. There were strange natural white lines on its face. Its mane was black and white and extremely soft. From a distance, it looked like an ancient beast. This was why it was named Kirin..
The Ink Kirin could gallop for thousands of miles a day. It had excellent endurance and was also very good at carrying heavy loads. It was a rare excellent warhorse. Although it was not a spirit beast, it was not much different. Only the four royal courts could possess it in the vast plains..
At this moment, Han Linfu's Ink Kirin did not look as handsome as before. The horse's eyes were dim and it kept snorting, looking very tired..
As they neared Kaiyuan City, Han Linfu was not in a hurry and even ordered his team to slow down..
Han Linfu saw his mount's condition and shouted,"Where's the Lion Roar Battalion commander?" His personal guard immediately called a general over..
This general rode his warhorse to Han Linfu's side, slightly behind Han Linfu's Ink Kirin. He respectfully cupped his hands and said,"General Chen Xiang greets Your Majesty.".
Han Linfu glanced at Chen Xiang and said,"I don't think this batch of horses is very good. Go and change it for me.".
He said,"Your Majesty, this horse is the best horse in my army.".
Han Linfu frowned slightly and said somewhat unhappily,"This horse doesn't seem to be in good condition. Go and find me a new horse!".
After a while, Chen Xiang came to Han Linfu with a date red horse and said,"Your Majesty, there's quite a difference between this batch of date red horses and the Ink Kirin. Are you sure you want to transfer?" Han Linfu looked at the date red horse. It was also very strong and looked very energetic..
Han Linfu nodded in satisfaction and said,"This one looks much better..
He asked,"Do you want to change horses now?".
Han Linfu proudly said,"With my skills, why would I need to stop and change horses? What a joke!" Han Linfu stepped on the stirrup, and his fat body flew up and landed steadily on the date red horse..
As Han Linfu rose into the air, the Ink Kirin was struck by the force of his stirrup and staggered forward, almost falling..
Sensing that the behemoth on his body had already left, the ink qilin immediately relaxed. He jogged happily all the way, and his spirit returned to normal at once..
On the other hand, the date red horse was miserable. Han Linfu heavily mounted the horse and almost caused it to fall. After the date red horse stabilized its body, it struggled to carry Han Linfu forward. Its footsteps became heavier and heavier, and it began to lose focus and keep snorting..
Han Linfu looked embarrassed and looked at the Ink Kirin, who was still running at the side. That cheerful look made Han Linfu even angrier. He angrily kicked the Ink Kirin's horse butt, but he did not use much force, and the Ink Kirin did not suffer much pain..
The date red horse's condition became even more depressed, and it was about to stop moving. Han Linfu once again flew up and sat on the Ink Kirin..
The sudden pressure made the ink qilin stumble again, revealing a resentful look in his eyes..
The date red horse was finally overwhelmed by the impact of Han Linfu's flight, and its feet gave way and it fell to the ground..
Fortunately, the march was slow, and the fall of the date horse caused a disturbance and then continued its normal march..
A scout galloped over to Han Linfu and bowed respectfully, saying,"Your Majesty, the Galactic Sect's Greedy Wolf Battalion cavalry is attacking our army from Kaiyuan City. There are about 20,000 of them.".
Han Linfu's face lit up with excitement as he said,"Damn it, I can finally show my strength.".
He shouted in a dignified voice: "All troops obey orders and prepare to meet the enemy!" The new Han army was located in a vast area, where there were no dangerous mountains, and it was very suitable for cavalry to charge..
Xuan Youyou immediately organized the Lion Roar Battalion to begin formation. Thirty thousand Lion Roar Cavalry were at the forefront of the team, ready to launch an attack at any time..
Tens of thousands of shield-wielding warriors rushed to the front and erected shield walls. Countless spears appeared between the gaps of the giant shields, forming a steel defense line full of thorns..
Behind the shield wall are 30,000 Lion Roar Battalion armored soldiers armed with various melee weapons, ready to kill the enemy who breaks through the shield wall at any time..
At the back of the team, 10,000 archers were already holding their bows. As long as the commander gave the order, arrows would fall from the sky..
These Lion Roar Battalion soldiers were well-equipped and armed to the teeth. Everyone was eager to try. There was no fear on their faces. Their morale was very high..
After the Lion Roar Battalion was formed, the Greedy Wolf Battalion finally appeared in Han Linfu's vision!.
Each of these Wolf Cavalrymen wore black armor with a ferocious wolf head pattern on their chest and a helmet that looked like a wolf head. Because of the mask on the wolf helmet, one could not see their faces clearly..
:.
: The standard weapon of the Cavalry of Greedy Wolf Camp is Greedy Wolf Saber. It is a long-handled saber with a wolf running pattern engraved on the blade. It looks majestic..
Each cavalryman is equipped with crossbow, short blade and round shield. Each cavalryman is a mobile fortress with both offensive and defensive functions..
Their warhorses were taller and stronger than Han Linfu's Ink Kirin, and they were also wearing black armor. The armor on their horses was also like a wolf's head, and at first glance, they looked like a giant wolf wearing armor..
Han Linfu looked at the strong horses of the Greedy Wolf Camp and then at his Ink Kirin, and his eyes were filled with envy as he said," Damn it, every single one of these Galaxy Sect Cavalry horses looks much stronger than mine. Can't I find such a good horse?".
Xuan Youyou immediately explained," Your Majesty, the Galaxy Sect specializes in taming spirit beasts. These horses are specially bred by the Galaxy Sect, so they are naturally of higher quality than ordinary horses..
Han Linfu fell silent for a moment before he suddenly pulled out his Origin Returning Saber and shouted,"Lion Roar Cavalry, follow me and charge! Destroy these Wolf Cavalry and seize the warhorses!" If something did not belong to him, he had to use some means to snatch it. This was Han Linfu's way of being a person! As soon as Han Linfu finished speaking, Xuan Dayou immediately commanded the Cavalry to charge forward. Han Linfu did exactly what he said and charged forward, his personal guards following closely behind him..
Xu Zhiqing, who only had a few thousand cavalry under him, was not afraid when he saw the cavalry charging towards him. He actually ordered the Greedy Wolf Battalion to stop charging..
" Greedy Wolf Battalion, spread out and load your arrows!" Xu Zhiqing shouted. The Greedy Wolf Battalion immediately lined up horizontally, put away their Greedy Wolf Blades, raised their crossbows, and loaded their arrows..
" Shoot!" With a single command, countless arrows were fired at the approaching New Korea Cavalry. At this moment, the arrows from the rear of the Lion Roar Battalion had arrived..
" Raise your shields, tighten your formation, and charge!" Xu Zhiqing shouted. He then raised the round shield fixed to the horse's side and led the crowd to charge against the arrows..
Greedy Wolf Camp reacted extremely quickly. They immediately tightened their formation and raised their shields to protect themselves diagonally above them. Soon, they escaped the range of the arrow rain. After dodging the arrow rain, only a dozen people from Greedy Wolf Camp were shot down..
" Change to Greedy Wolf Blade, charge formation, kill!" After shaking off the rain of arrows, the Greedy Wolf Battalion soldiers immediately put their round shields back into the distance and charged at the Lion Roar Cavalry with Greedy Wolf Blade in hand..
The first to face the arrows from the Greedy Wolf Battalion was the new Han King, Han Linfu. Although he was fat, he was very agile, and his Origin Blade kept blocking the arrows..
The Lion Roar Battalion cavalry were not afraid of the arrows flying towards them. They all attacked to intercept them. The range of the arrows was relatively short. In addition, there were not many people in the Greedy Wolf Battalion. The arrows only caused hundreds of casualties in the Lion Roar Battalion..
The two elite cavalrymen charged at each other. The battle was very intense. The Greedy Wolf Battalion had the advantage in terms of individual strength, but they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Even if they faced several times more elite cavalrymen bravely, they were still outnumbered. As soon as they came into contact, cavalrymen were continuously killed..
Han Linfu's Origin Returning Saber continued to take the lives of the Greedy Wolf Battalion Cavalry. He looked at the spirit horses that had lost their masters, and his eyes were filled with greed..
While the cavalrymen were fighting, two groups of Greedy Wolf Battalion cavalrymen suddenly bypassed these bloody cavalrymen and arrived at both sides of the new Han soldiers..
The generals who stayed in the formation to command immediately discovered these greedy wolf cavalry coming, and immediately began to change their formation and prepare for battle..
Shieldmen also protected the flanks, forming a three-sided attack..
The two cavalrymen numbered several thousand each, which was equivalent to Xu Zhiqing's cavalrymen. This veteran of Greedy Wolf Battalion actually divided the twenty thousand cavalrymen into three and launched a surprise attack on Lion Roar Battalion..
Greedy Wolf Camp's speed was needless to say, and they soon arrived in front of the shield wall. Those sturdy spirit horses charging at the forefront actually jumped up and jumped over the tall shield wall..
Those Shield Soldiers were attacked from the back and suffered heavy casualties. The Armored Soldiers at the rear immediately pressed forward and fought with the Wolf Cavalry..
The Greedy Wolf Battalion cavalry almost broke through the shield wall of the Lion Roar Battalion without any losses. The following cavalry directly charged at the Lion Roar Battalion armored soldiers as if they were on flat ground..
When fighting against infantry, these Wolf Cavaliers showed their superiority. They did not stop in the process of charging and charged towards the Lion Roar archers..
The Lion Roar Battalion soldiers were fearless and tried their best to stop the greedy wolf cavalrymen. The archers at the rear kept drawing their bows and arrows, harvesting the lives of the greedy wolf cavalrymen..
After the two groups of Greedy Wolf Battalion cavalry broke into the enemy's formation, Xu Zhiqing immediately ordered them to retreat in the direction of Kaiyuan City. Han Linfu was currently in the midst of killing, so how could he easily let go of the fat meat that was already in his mouth?.
Xuan Dayou naturally did not dare to go against His Majesty's wishes. He immediately organized the Lion Roar Cavalry to pursue. However, the Greedy Wolf Battalion's warhorses were too fast and quickly retreated to Kaiyuan City..
Only then did Han Linfu give the order not to pursue and choose to return to the battle formation that had been destroyed..
After sacrificing thousands of cavalrymen, the Greedy Wolf Battalion finally rushed to the front of the Lion Roar Battalion's archers. The archers lacked close combat ability, and without the distance advantage, they were no match for the elite cavalrymen. They all fled to the armored soldiers 'formation..
How could the Lion Roar Battalion Armorers watch their archers being slaughtered by the enemy and launch attacks after the greedy wolf cavalry?.
Seeing that they were about to be surrounded by the Lion Roar Battalion armored soldiers, the Greedy Wolf Battalion cavalry commander immediately ordered them to break through to the north. The rear of the archers was already empty, and the Greedy Wolf Cavalry finally withdrew from the battlefield after paying a lot of price..
How could the infantry soldiers catch up to the greedy wolf cavalrymen with extremely strong mobility? They could only watch as these cavalrymen left..
When the Lion Roar Cavalry returned to the battle formation, there was no trace of the Wolf Cavalry, leaving only a mess on the battlefield..
The Greedy Wolf Battalion paid the price of more than 5,000 elite cavalry to successfully delay the pace of the New Han army. The New Han soldiers and archers also suffered heavy losses, with more than 10,000 casualties..
