Chapter 808
"Let us take down the cavalry for this time, haha, before the infantry arrives, we will end the battle first!" The general laughed, threw the whip hard, and rushed forward with a crisp "bang". The subordinates behind him also quickly followed.
A few dozen miles away from Songshui City, there is a clear and delicious grassland with lush grass and a top-quality forage. This is originally a Xilin Horse Farm. After the invasion of Shengmaha, An Yu had asked the Lu brothers to transfer all the horses here, and some were driven back to Songshui City for combat purposes, and some were continued to be fed in hidden places in the mountains and forests in case of emergency needs.
The Maha cavalry who arrived here were overjoyed. The fierce red war horses they rode on were only gnawing grass all the way, barely filling their stomachs. After a long-distance raid, their combat power naturally decreased, and they suffered from the lack of good grass. This grassland ranch was tailor-made for them before the war.
The main general lowered his degree and asked, "How far is this place from Songshui City?"
The guide on the side said, "It's about fifty miles away! You will definitely be able to arrive within an hour!"
"Okay! Just stop the army by the small lake in front of you to rest, feed grass and drink horses, and after half an hour, you will go straight to Songshui City!"
Maha's soldiers were also very happy. The red war horses under their seats were their partners. They had good grass to feed them and improve their combat power, which also improved the soldiers' survival ability on the battlefield.
Half an hour later, ten thousand Maha cavalry and ten thousand red war horses were full of people and horses, so they ran towards Songshui City on time. After they left, two figures walked out of a hidden secret and looked at the direction where the Maha army left.
These two are Lu Yi and Lu Xin.
Lu Yi said with a serious expression: "It's really worthy of being Maha's cavalry. If you want to defeat them head-on, you need at least five times the strength!" Lu Xindao grinned and said: "It's a pity that they don't have the opportunity to fight head-on!"
"The head of the family is really as expected. He knows that when the Maha cavalry passes here, they will definitely repair it!"
"Hey, what is the head of the family giving?"
"I don't know very well. Anyway, I have already thrown it into the lake in advance according to the requirements of the head of the family! It should be poison or something. It's a pity that so many excellent red war horses!" Lu Yi looked heartbroken.
After more than half an hour of raid, Maha's cavalry brigade rushed to Songshui City. However, what was presented to everyone was a well-repaired city. Not only was it well-repaired, but it was also two feet taller than they knew! On the city wall, there were some guards standing scattered and stark, but they had no reaction to the arrival of Maha's army.
The main general stared at Songshui City in front of him and said angrily: "It's actually repaired! Didn't the two deputy generals say that most of the people in Songshui City have been killed by them? Why do they still have the ability to repair the city in such a short time? Call those two people over!"
The two deputy generals were removed from office because of their defeat and followed the team as ordinary soldiers.
"We have indeed broken through the city gate!" A deputy general said in horror: "General Tianyuan died in the battle in the city! This..."
Another deputy general looked at Songshui City and said, "General, the color of the city gate is different from the surrounding city walls. It is newly built! And... the city wall has been raised by two feet!"
After a closer look, the color of the building at the city gate and the color of the top two feet above the city wall are indeed darker than other places, because the new material has not been exposed to sunlight for a long time.
"What should I do now?" asked the chief confidant subordinate.
The main general let out a long breath. Facing such a city, no matter how powerful their Maha cavalry is, they cannot attack. After a moment of silence, the main general said: "Camp the siege of the city, no one must escape from the city!"
"yes!"
The 10,000 Maha army was divided into four groups, each with 2,500 people, and camped outside the four gates of Songshui City, just like the previous Maha army.
At this time, the sound of "dongdong" war drums suddenly sounded in Songshui City. The Maha army was building a camp, and when they heard the drums, they looked serious and excited, because the drum sounds represented the meaning of attack.
The east gate of the city was opened, and a group of Songshui cavalry, led by An Yu, Zhu Wei, Le Feng, Lu He and others, roared out and rushed straight towards the Maha army that had just arrived at the garrison.
"Go on the horse! Fight! These Milai people who don't know how to live or die!" Maha's leading deputy general shouted. But as soon as he jumped onto the war horse, the red war horse under his seat neighed in pain, his legs became weak, and he fell to the ground.
The same is true for other Maha cavalry, with none of the 2,500 red war horses spared.
"What's going on? What's wrong with our war horses?" The deputy general of the leader was shocked. If the cavalry had no war horses, their combat effectiveness would be reduced by half. Moreover, the opponent was a cavalry, and they could enter and exit quickly. If they fought in a battle, they would suffer a great loss.
"Report to the general, all the horses... are all diarrhea!"
"What? Why do you get diarrhea?"
"It may be...food poisoning!"
"That grass?"
"The possibility of forage is not high...but those lakes!"
In just a moment, more than 10,000 Songshui cavalry had already pressed into front of the Maha army. The military strategy says: "If you have ten, you will surround it, if you have five, you will attack it, if you have multiples, you will divide it. If you have fewer, you can fight it, if you have fewer, you can escape it, if you are worse, you can avoid it!"
The Songshui cavalry had four times the advantage of the Maha army and had the advantage of war horses, so they adopted the strategy of encirclement and annihilation. An Yu, Zhu Wei, Le Feng, and Lu Yi each led a brigade to surround all the Maha people who turned cavalry into infantry.
An Yu and Le Feng had extremely strong combat power. They led by the thunder and attacked directly, and took the head of the deputy general in charge. Suddenly, the Maha people could not stop it. The two of them were as if they had entered a state of no one, with swords and swords and blood flying everywhere. Wherever they passed, the Maha soldiers fell like wild grass.
The leading deputy general wanted to escape in horror, but how far could he escape in front of the famous Le cover?
"call out--"
Le Feng used a "Blade of Flowing Fire" and directly penetrated the chest of the leading deputy general. The general was killed, and the Maha army became even more chaotic, but Songshui's morale was greatly boosted.
In fact, the more than 10,000 people who came out of the city had only two thousand cavalrymen at the front and eight thousand behind, which were used to suppress the formation and created amazing momentum.
Faced with such a battle, the army was immediately defeated as soon as the general Maha died. The real two thousand cavalry were enough to harvest the Maha people.
At this time, the Maha cavalry at the other three city gates realized that there was a problem and wanted to drive the troops to help, but their horses could no longer ride.
After An Yu and others wiped out the Maha enemy at the East City Gate, they quickly surrounded the Maha army at the South City Gate...
