Chapter 838 Despair

Early before he led the cavalry to pursue, Shi Lei had reminded him to pay attention to a black-faced general in the enemy army, saying that the other party was quite powerful.

This also made Xie Liancheng a little alert right from the start.

An expert can tell the strength of a player with just one move.

Although it looked like just a simple swing of the sword, Xie Liancheng could see from it that the other party had some tricks.

If he followed the other party's tricks, whether it was parrying or counterattacking, the other party would have tricks to use.

If his strength was one or two levels stronger, he might be able to beat him a few more times.

Unfortunately, his hardware was too poor, and he was not his opponent at all.

Xie Liancheng's slash directly determined the outcome!

In full view of the crowd, Zhao Hu was beheaded at the first sight. Such terrifying strength made the Liang cavalry who were charging show fear that they could not hide.

The subsequent retreat made their entire charging momentum significantly weakened.

On the other hand, after cutting off Zhao Hu's head, Xie Liancheng, who was riding a horse, did not even slow down at all, and rushed into the enemy's formation like a wolf into a flock of sheep!

In an instant, blood and flesh splattered. As a top general, his powerful suppression ability in such a small-scale armed conflict was undoubtedly revealed at this moment!

The opponent's military advantage was completely unplayable in front of Xie Liancheng.

Seeing the opportunity, the cavalrymen of the Great Zhou Dynasty shouted the slogan "The enemy general is dead, surrender will not be killed" so that they could further hit the morale of the opponent.

Although the method is old, it is very useful. The Liang cavalry soon collapsed.

The cavalrymen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, led by Xie Liancheng, seized the opportunity and captured prisoners crazily, and were not in a hurry to chase the large army of Liang.

These prisoners in front of them were real cheap labor, and every capture was a credit.

As for the large army of Liang, even if they caught up, they could only fight on the periphery at most, and it was impossible for them to really charge at the large army of the opposite side.

After all, they were not the Xianzhen Camp, which was protected by a full set of iron armor.

In the absence of troops to support them in the rear, they could certainly charge the large enemy army, but they would definitely suffer casualties, which was not cost-effective and unnecessary.

At this moment, they were not far from Anling City. Now that they had captured prisoners, they could not take them on the expedition all the way. They might as well take the captured prisoners and the enemy's war horses back to Anling City first.

During this process, the commander of the Liang army saw that the cavalry unit led by Zhao Hu had not returned for a long time, and his heart began to sink uncontrollably.

He knew that this was most likely to be a disaster.

He had no time to think about what happened. He just made a quick decision and gave an order directly...

"Pass my order to throw away everything that can be thrown away, reduce the weight, and march overnight!"

The commander of the Liang army had an effect, but not much.

Even if they reduced their load and marched overnight, the mobility of the Liang army was still at the level of infantry. How could they outrun the cavalry, which was a highly mobile unit?

Listening to the rumbling of horse hooves from behind, the Liang army commander began to tense up. When the flag of the Great Zhou army dancing in the wind came into his eyes, his face suddenly turned livid.

"Prepare for battle!"

After receiving the order, the Liang army quickly entered combat status.

However, the Great Zhou cavalry that chased them here did not rush up directly, but kept a safe distance from them, and then took off the bow on their backs!

At this moment, the Liang army commander even showed a trace of collapse on his face.

What a desperate scene this is?

If the cavalry on the opposite side rushed up directly, they would fight for casualties, and at least they would have the strength to fight.

But if the opponent relied on the attack range and mobility to consume them from a distance, then their group of infantry would have no room to fight back!

The situation in front of them was not difficult to understand, or even too clear. Even the soldiers below reacted quickly.

But this was a good thing for Xie Liancheng and his team, who were the pursuers.

As this situation took shape, the Liang army was in a panic, and the soldiers' condition plummeted.

After noticing the situation of the Liang army, Xie Liancheng couldn't help but be tempted.

[At this time, if I charge, will the other side be defeated? ]

Considering that this wave of pursuit was mainly based on long-range consumption, they hung two more barrels of arrows on the side of the saddle, but even so, there were only four barrels in total.

At first glance, it seemed like a lot, but if used at a high frequency, it would soon be used up.

This also meant that they could not continue to consume at a distance.

If they could charge and solve the battle directly, Xie Liancheng would be a little tempted.

However, this idea only flashed in his mind for a while, and he soon gave it up.

[Forget it, it's not worth it. They have already lost, so there is no need to take this risk. 】

In this era, the cost of building a cavalry unit is very high. When the victory is basically guaranteed, why risk increasing the casualties of the cavalry unit under your command to do such a thing? It is indeed not cost-effective.

With this thought flashing through their minds, the cavalry unit led by Jie Liancheng continued to pursue and consume the enemy with horse archery.

Maintaining this state, they chased for about ten miles, and the Liang army on the opposite side suddenly made a new move.

"Oh no, those guys are running up the mountain!"

The environment here is mostly mountainous plains. There were also mountains on the side during the previous pursuit, but the mountain walls were steep and almost vertical, making it impossible to climb, so Xie Liancheng didn't pay much attention to it.

They maintained a steady rhythm throughout the whole process and implemented their consumption tactics.

Unexpectedly, after passing that section of the road, the mountains in front suddenly became flat.

The commander of the Liang army seized the opportunity and immediately ordered to split up and run up the mountain.

Although the cavalry was highly mobile, for safety reasons, they still kept a safe distance from the Liang army without launching an action.

Now it was too late to pursue.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the Liang army soldiers had completely fled into the mountain.

Looking at the mountain in front of him, Xie Liancheng curled his lips slightly unhappy, and then his eyes fell on the equipment and supplies left by the other side at the foot of the mountain.

"Forget it. Without supplies, how many days can we survive in the mountains? It's just a desperate struggle."

As he spoke, Xie Liancheng set his sights on the equipment and supplies at the foot of the mountain. In order to escape, the Liang army didn't even have time to deal with these equipment and supplies. Now they have all gotten them.

"Gather these things and take them all away! Don't leave them a single hair!"
