Chapter 401 The war begins
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
woo woo woo woo!
Almost at the same time, loud and thick war drums and horns sounded quickly in the Xia Kingdom and the barbarian military camps respectively.
Thousands of miles across, light infantry, heavy armor, crossbowmen, cavalry and other units advanced layer by layer at a uniform pace, advancing toward the center of the battlefield like a vast ocean.
The largest warrior war in history has begun.
Hooves! Hooves! Hooves!
Just when Chen Jing and his men reunited with Jing Hongguang and quickly arrived at the designated battlefield, they saw the earth surging like water waves, and a strong shaking feeling came from the north.
It took a long time after the sound came out to realize that a wave of barbarian cavalry was coming towards the south.
The cavalry style shown in movies and TV shows may be just that in the eyes of many viewers. It is very common to see the protagonist killing a lot of people easily like cutting a melon.
But in fact, as the absolute king of the cold weapon battlefield, with the power of the cauldron, unless he is the kind of person who is truly superior in martial arts, any other single-faced cavalry will definitely die.
You can imagine heavy trucks driving at full speed toward you.
Don't say you want to fight. You will feel weak in your legs uncontrollably in the middle of driving, and you won't have the courage to face the enemy head-on.
This is true for ordinary war horses, not to mention the more powerful beast war horses from other worlds.
Therefore, when seeing thousands of barbarian cavalry wandering in front of them, the five thousand soldiers led by Jing Hongguangxin could not help but feel a little noisy.
"Pass the order! Anyone who moves rashly will be killed! Anyone who speaks rashly will be killed!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Jing Hongguang's eyes, and he quickly issued an order.
Compassion does not command troops.
As the shape of war changes dramatically, corresponding rules and regulations will also change.
The strictness with which the ancients governed their armies was absolutely in line with the requirements of the war situation at that time.
Since ancient methods are followed today, the corresponding essence should also be retained.
Although it seems very cruel to modern people, for an army model that is mainly based on arrays and uses groups as the charging method, there is absolutely no room for the existence of someone who disrupts the formation and affects the morale of the army.
If there is, discover it early and execute it as soon as possible to set the record straight.
Sure enough, as Jing Hongguang's orders were issued at all levels, the soldiers were instantly shocked and did not dare to slack off any more.
Regarding Jing Hongguang's actions, Chen Jing just stood aside silently without saying a word.
In comparison, although the Xia Kingdom has gathered 400,000 troops here, most of them have never experienced the intensity of a war involving more than 10,000 people. Now that it has suddenly climbed to a million troops, it is inevitable that some changes are normal.
On the other hand, the hundred-man hunting army led by him did not have any fluctuations in this. They are worthy of being the trump card in the Southern Military Region.
Chen Jing did not pay attention to the barbarian cavalry wandering ahead.
Unless the opposing commander is kicked in the head by a donkey, he will never instruct his precious cavalry to charge the infantry phalanx that has already been formed.
You must know that the real strength of cavalry is their mobility.
If the barbarian cavalry really launched a charge, they could defeat Chen Jing's five thousand infantry in one fell swoop.
But what happens after that?
Just like a tire stuck in a quagmire, the cavalry's biggest advantage, speed, is gone and they are like living targets. The troops on both wings of the 5,000 square formation will happily eat up this precious piece of fat.
By then, even if the commander-in-chief of the Xia Kingdom knew that his five thousand men had been defeated, he would not care at all. Instead, he would smile from ear to ear with joy.
You must know that cavalry is much more valuable than infantry.
really!
When Chen Jing focused more on the barbarian infantry phalanx, the barbarian cavalry in front quickly moved to the left amid the sound of rolling horse hooves and thick dust.
Chen Jing's unit is located on the left wing of the army.
As expected, the barbarian cavalry wanted to linger on the edge of the battlefield, patiently looking for weaknesses in Xia's left-wing phalanx like wolves, and pounce on them randomly.
Chen Jing could think of this, and the senior officials of Xia Guonan's expedition naturally thought more clearly.
As soon as the battle flag was raised, a group of Xia cavalry on standby quickly set off to the left wing, keeping an eye on the barbarian cavalry and not giving it a chance to escape and charge into the formation.
As the most important partner in the history of human warfare, horses play a pivotal role.
Whether it is a native horse of Blue Star or a wild horse from another world, unlike other creatures, it can be tamed by humans on a large scale.
For this reason, the Xia Kingdom's military started breeding and cultivating war horses from other worlds at an early stage.
After nearly twenty years of scientific, rational and efficient development, they also have a cavalry army that is not inferior to the barbarian cavalry.
Nowadays, it is also a peak battle between riding and riding.
Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!
At this moment, a war roar suddenly sounded from behind Chen Jing.
The sound moved from far to near, and the pitch of the voice rose steadily.
Subconsciously, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the center of the army.
There, a majestic banner rising as if straight into the sky, allowing everyone present to see the most magnificent red flying between the sky and the sky!
This is the banner belonging to the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the overall commander-in-chief of this war.
It is also where the military soul of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Southern Expedition lies.
If the flag is there, the people are there!
On the other side, the barbarians also raised a huge flag without showing any signs of weakness. Its style and structure were almost the same as those on the Xia side, and presumably they were copied.
But there are also different ones.
A strong and soul-stirring elephant cry was heard among the barbarian army.
Then, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, a giant elephant that was at least twenty meters tall appeared in everyone's sight.
The eighth-level savage beast - the ancient giant tusk elephant!
And on its back, I saw a throne full of gold and gems. At this time, there was sitting a gorgeously dressed man with a huge body and eyes as high as an eagle, looking down at everything.
A majestic barbarian who exudes powerful and terrifying power.
He is the commander-in-chief of this barbarian army, the leader of the barbarian alliance, the legendary warrior Yuan Tuo!
The moment this person appeared, all the barbarians went crazy, beating their chests hard and excitedly shouting "Yuan Tuo" to name him.
Xia Guo's side did not show any weakness and started shouting tit for tat.
For a while, the two sides did not start fighting with real swords and guns, but instead started to compare throats.
And during this period, a huge building car that seemed to be the perfect crystallization of ancient technology rose rapidly under the rolling gears.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters.
Standing on it is an old-looking but no less sharp-looking general. Wearing a straight military uniform, his every move is like a model soldier walking out of a textbook. He uses his excellent height to carefully observe the movements of both the enemy and ourselves.
Get into formation.
On the throne of the giant elephant, Yuan Tuo looked up at the opponent above him with a very unhappy expression. He moved his palm on the handle engraved with the head of a ferocious beast, feeling quite eager to try.
However, when he saw someone standing next to Wei Jun, that person raised his pale blue eyes and looked at him without hesitation.
Yuan Tuo paused his palms with a cold smile on his face.
