Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2656 Strike the snake at its seven-inch mark; capture the thief by first capturing the king.

Chapter 2656 Strike the snake at its vital point; capture the thief by first capturing the king.

At the same time, Xue Rengui, who was leading his cavalry to continuously break through enemy lines, clearly noticed that the Qian army was beginning to change.

The enemy battalions no longer monitored each other, and each simply held their ground in place.

By this time, Xue Rengui clearly noticed that their dredging speed had slowed down, and it was no longer as easy as it had been at the beginning.

Ji Chengfu's order is indeed effective for the current battle situation.

In the chaos of battle, mutual support not only fails to help the enemy, but also plunges more troops into confusion.

Everyone was doing their own thing, and while they couldn't stop the Black Knights' charge, they were at least able to offer some resistance compared to before.

"General Xue, something's wrong. If this continues, we won't be able to hold out for much longer!" Wang Yi, the commander of the Black Cavalry, also noticed the situation. He immediately rode forward and, while continuing the charge, quickly asked Xue Rengui for instructions.

The Black Knights' impact was indeed greatly increased after switching to heavy armor, but like all heavy armored soldiers, their ability to sustain combat was also significantly reduced.

The enemy force numbers over 300,000. If things are done this way, they might not be able to defeat them before their strength is nearly exhausted.

If they can't break through the enemy's defenses, even if the enemy suffers heavy casualties tonight, they still haven't achieved their operational objectives. Tonight's results will be significantly diminished.

"Ji Chengfu is indeed a famous general of the Great Qian Dynasty, but if that's all there is to it, he still won't be able to stop the iron cavalry of our Great Han tonight!"

"Follow me, keep charging forward!" Xue Rengui didn't say much, his halberd flashing as he cut down one Qian soldier after another who stood in their way.

When Xue Rengui was acting as the arrowhead to break through the enemy lines, he constantly adjusted his direction. Instead of blindly charging forward in one direction as he did at the beginning, he attacked from all directions at once.

This situation left Wang Yi bewildered but also impressed. After all, charging east and west like this made it even more difficult to break through the entire Qian army.

However, this was during a major battle, and even if he had doubts, it was not the time to ask Xue Rengui for answers, much less to argue with him.

Even if he had doubts, at this moment he could only choose to follow Xue Rengui and lead the Black Riders to charge forward again and again.

However, Wang Yi soon discovered Xue Rengui's purpose.

"This direction, charge in this direction! Ji Chengfu must be in this direction!" After changing directions several times, Xue Rengui, who was at the forefront, suddenly roared and rode off first.

With an army of over 300,000 stretching for dozens of miles, it was impossible for Ji Chengfu's orders to reach every corner of the army at the same time.

The Qian army battalion closest to him would naturally receive the order the fastest, while those farther away from Ji Xingfu would receive the order more slowly.

Xue Rengui appeared to be constantly changing directions, but in reality, he was testing the resistance of the Qian army camps in different directions and whether the Qian army in other directions had formed ranks on the spot like the Qian army in this direction.

In this way, a rough judgment can be made about the location of Ji Chengfu's central command.

In particular, Xue Rengui's troops charged out from the waist towards the very center of the Qian army's formation. The direction from which they charged out was actually not too far from where Ji Chengfu was initially located.

"Lian Ma!" Wang Yi gritted his teeth and, as he charged out after Xue Rengui, immediately gave the order to the black-clad riders behind him.

As the Wang family's flagship troops, the well-trained elite Black Riders, upon receiving orders, immediately untied an iron chain hanging from their horses during the charge, then flicked it to the knight beside them, and fastened a simple lock.

These chains were no ordinary chains; a small iron hammer hung from the center. Using the momentum of the warhorses, a direct hit from this hammer would be fatal, even to a martial arts master. In a short time, these five thousand heavily armored cavalrymen transformed into five thousand linked heavy cavalry, maximizing their frontal impact through a chained cavalry formation.

Once the cavalry is linked together, their frontal impact reaches its peak, but this also means that turning around mid-journey will be extremely difficult, or they may even lose the ability to turn around mid-journey. Everything has its pros and cons.

However, to strike a snake at its vital point, and to capture a thief, one must first capture his king. If we can truly reach Ji Chengfu in one fell swoop, then this problem will be no problem at all.

"kill!"

The clanging of taut chains, the clatter of small hammers striking armor plates, and the thunderous roar of five thousand warhorses landing simultaneously merged into a deafening sound that shook the plains.

Five thousand linked horses, like a long black iron chain dragon, galloped out of the darkness.

Five thousand heavy cavalry, five thousand iron chains, and five thousand iron hammers surged towards Ji Chengfu's direction like a black tidal wave.

When Qianjun general Zhang Dezhao, who was facing the chain of black cavalry, saw this scene, his expression changed.

Although he was also a battalion commander, his battalion of 5,000 men consisted entirely of light infantry. How could he possibly hold them off?

If he were to stand in the way, would he still be able to survive?

After a brief hesitation, overwhelmed by the fear of death, Zhang Dezhao, the battalion commander, was the first to break down. He didn't even bother with the soldiers below him and rode straight to the rear.

Let whoever wants to block it, do so; he can't just stay here and wait to die!

In fact, although his battalion of soldiers were all light infantry, they were mostly veterans who had served for more than three years and were considered elite in the army.

They still had the courage to form ranks and not collapse immediately when faced with a heavy cavalry charge, which is already an elite trait for infantry.

But once the generals had all fled, the soldiers' last bit of morale vanished.

A general is the courage of his soldiers. If a general is cowardly, even the most elite soldiers are nothing more than a rabble.

Therefore, the five thousand soldiers who had already formed a battle formation collapsed instantly and fled in all directions.

But most of them hadn't even run a few steps when the iron hooves of five thousand heavily armored cavalrymen trampled over them, and in an instant, the entire battlefield in the vicinity was turned into a pile of minced meat.

Of course, not every general on Xue Rengui's path of charge was a coward like Zhang Dezhao.

However, even though those generals fought to the death and refused to retreat, the result was still not much better.

Zhao Tianxiu, a fierce general of the Qian Army at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, was knocked off his horse by Xing Tian, ​​who had sacrificed himself to take a blow from him.

Before he could even get up, the black cavalry behind him trampled him into a bloody pulp.

Of the four generals, Zhao Lei, Su Wei, and others, who also possessed Heavenly-level strength, only one was killed by Xue Rengui's arrow during the charge. The remaining three were all turned into a pile of minced meat after being continuously knocked off their horses by the Black Riders because they stood in front of them.

Let alone a Heavenly-level general, even a God-level general couldn't possibly withstand such a heavily armored cavalry force head-on with his own strength.

As for generals or captains below the Heavenly rank, such as Liu Zhouchen and Sheng Yanshi, those who stood in front of the Black Riders suffered even more casualties.
