Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 797
The iron cavalry roared towards them like a mountain torrent, and they arrived in front of the defenders of Shazhou City in an instant.

These cavalrymen would not give their opponents time to react. They all waved their long knives and looked at the enemy.

The defenders of Shazhou City still wanted to resist, but how could their strength be the opponent of the cavalry?

The height of the horsebacks of these war horses is just over 1.6 meters, and those who sit on the horsebacks are all prairie soldiers, because they are born with majestic physiques, even if Shandong soldiers look at Dazhou, they are all among the tallest people , but they were still much shorter in front of the grassland soldiers.

More importantly, these prairie soldiers grew up drinking milk and eating beef and mutton all year round. This eating habit naturally made them very burly, and each of them was tall and burly. The guards of Shazhou City matched them. Than, even a little slender.

These prairie soldiers sat on horseback and were at least three meters tall. The long knives in their hands were all about one meter long. When they swung down heavily, the force they brought was at least several hundred catties, which was something ordinary soldiers could resist. ?

The long knife fell, that is, Wu You had explained in advance that they should not cut people with the blade, otherwise it would definitely be a clean break.

Even with only the back of the knife, those soldiers were still beaten to death.

The defenders of Shazhou City panicked and retreated again and again, but how could the witch cavalry who finally had the opportunity to participate in the battle easily let go of this opportunity?

They immediately chased after each other without giving each other any room to breathe.

On the other side, after Zhou Shahu sent his troops out, he confidently waited for the good news from the front in the camp.

But at this moment, someone from outside the tent rushed in hurriedly, and knelt down in front of Zhou Shahu: "General, something is wrong."

"The troops we sent out to attack Beihai soldiers all retreated not long after they rushed into the housing area."

"what?"

Zhou Shahu was originally enjoying tea leisurely, but when he heard the news, his expression changed drastically.

"How could this be?"

He looked at the time and reconfirmed that these subordinates had only started to retreat so soon after receiving his order, and now it was only a stick of incense time.

But he immediately reacted: "Wait a minute, what did you mean by backing off?"

The retreat here is very ambiguous. It may be a retreat after a victory, or it may be a defeat, but the meanings of the two are completely different.

The subordinate was stunned when he heard the words, he only came back to report immediately when he saw something happened ahead.

This is not a strange thing, after all, all kinds of information on the battlefield are ever-changing, and new situations may appear at any time.

It is precisely because of this that no matter which army is on the battlefield, there will be many spies and eyeliners.

Their task is to keep an eye on the changes on the battlefield, and then inform the commander of these changes as soon as possible.

As for the subsequent changes, other people will naturally watch, but it is not important to them.

So in Zhou Shahu's view, the news that was suddenly sent back by his subordinates clearly did not read all of it.

Seeing the look of embarrassment under that hand, he snorted coldly: "Since you haven't seen it clearly, just talk about the matter. Next time, if you say something big, it's not good. I will punish you in the name of disturbing the morale of the army." You are offended."

The subordinate was taken aback and quickly bowed his head in agreement.

But as soon as the two finished speaking, someone from outside the tent rushed in again.

"General, something is wrong!!"

Zhou Shahu, who had just picked up his teacup and was about to take another sip, was instantly livid with anger. Unexpectedly, each of these subordinates was more worried than the other. He raised his head and was about to explode, but the subordinate had already given the news he had received to Zhou Shahu. Tiger said it again.

"General, the troops we sent out to attack the Beihai army just broke into the city not long ago, and returned in complete defeat. At this time, we have already begun to retreat."

"what?"

After hearing the previous news, Zhou Shahu didn't take it seriously.

After all, there are many reasons for retreating on the battlefield. It is possible to retreat after winning or losing a battle. In addition, it may also be to deal with the enemy.

But now he was taken aback when he heard the news that this subordinate had worn it back.

Because he didn't expect that the army he sent just now would be defeated so quickly. ,

"how is this possible?"

With a livid face, he stood up abruptly.

"This...I don't know either."

Hearing this, the subordinate also shook his head.

"Damn, where are they now, take me to see."

Zhou Shahu couldn't sit still anymore. Logically speaking, his troops shouldn't have been defeated so easily, but could his soldiers still spread false news to him?

But it also failed too quickly.

And since it is a defeat, it means that there is indeed no power to fight back.

But with a total of 2 people fighting, it takes a long time just to set up the battle. How could it be possible to decide the winner so quickly?

He was about to go out, but before he had time to leave, someone rushed in from the tent door.

"What's the news?"

Zhou Shahu asked angrily, but just as he finished speaking, he also looked at the person coming, and after seeing the person clearly, he was taken aback for a moment.

Because the person who came in this time was not a spy to inquire about the news, but the leader of the [-]-man army he sent out just now, General Cui Yuanhu, one of the top ten generals in Shazhou City.

But now, Cui Yuanhu looked extremely embarrassed.

The armor on his body was deformed everywhere, and the black cloak on his body was actually covered with mud. Even on his face and arms, mud and blood stains could be seen, which obviously appeared after wrestling on the ground. .

"You trash, what are you doing?"

Zhou Shahu was going to ask Cui Yuanhu for clarification, now that he saw Cui Yuanhu's appearance, he believed even more that the army he sent just now was indeed defeated.

But he still couldn't figure out what caused these subordinates to lose so quickly.

Seeing Zhou Shahu's anger, Cui Yuanhu also panicked immediately, and quickly knelt on the ground, his face pale: "General, please forgive me. The Beihai troops are too vicious."

"vicious?"

"General, they actually used cavalry to attack our army. In that narrow box, our army didn't even have a place to hide."

"Just a face-to-face meeting will cost at least 2000 people."

Cui Yuanhu told Zhou Shahu about the situation ahead, but when he said this again, his voice couldn't help trembling, as if he had seen something shocking.

When Zhou Shahu heard this, his pupils constricted suddenly: "What? They used cavalry?"
