The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chu Yan'er had long guessed that Guan Yizhi would definitely send troops out to harass and test her from time to time. For her, this was not a bad thing, and could even be said to be a good thing.

It was a good opportunity to train the provincial army, and with the 50,000 troops of Huaining Army and Lianyun Eighteen Villages to escort them, he was not worried about the possibility of a rout.

She even expected Guan Yizhi to come and harass her every day, so that she would have enough opportunities to train the Zhoufu Army.

As the 3,000 Hezhou Prefecture troops rushed forward and set up the spiked bamboo formation at an extremely fast speed, they retreated to the rear, while the 2,000 Lianyun Eighteen Village cavalrymen stayed behind the Hezhou troops.

At the same time, the Tiger Cavalry who rushed out from Jiangyue City rushed towards the army formation. They increased their speed in order to cause great psychological pressure and mental shock to the Yan army.

The two thousand tiger riders were all full of murderous intent and excited. They had no intention of committing suicide, only the urge to show off their power.

They didn't care at all about the Hezhou Army's action of placing things in the position, they just thought that the other side was doing useless work.

On the city wall, Guan Yizhi and other generals looked at the actions of the Hezhou Army and frowned. For a moment, they didn't understand what the Hezhou Army was trying to do.

But because of the distance, they couldn't see what the other side had released. After all, Jiang Fan was the only one who had the military equipment, the telescope.

Even Chu Xinghe and Ning Zhen only had this equipment because Jiang Fan gave them telescopes. As for other armies, this kind of equipment was not widely used.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Guan Yizhi and others on the city wall could not see through the actions of Zhoufu Army.

However, just because they couldn't see through it didn't mean they couldn't think of it. They had heard about how Jiang Fan defeated the Northern Mongolian cavalry with the spiked bamboo formation in Jinzhou.

Someone came back to his senses, his face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted to Guan Yizhi: "Marshal, this is bad... That might be Jiang Fan in his famous battle formation, the Spiked Bamboo Formation!"

Hearing his words, Guan Yizhi and other generals were immediately shocked. It was said that the spiked bamboo formation was the nemesis of cavalry. Although they had never seen it, they had heard of it.

Now, it was too late for them to stop it. After all, the cavalry had already increased their speed. If he ordered the cavalry to retreat, the other side would not be able to stop for a while.

Moreover, if they suddenly withdrew their troops at this time, their morale would be even more affected. It would be better to take a gamble.

Guan Yizhi and others could only hope that the spiked bamboo formation lived up to its name and had little effect on the cavalry.

But it was useless for them to think like this. When the tiger cavalry rushed to the front of the thorny bamboo formation, they saw the dense thorny bamboos and their faces changed immediately with fear.

The cavalrymen at the front wanted to rein in their horses and turn around, but it was too late. Many of them were hit by the cavalrymen behind them because they reined in their horses.

The crash occurred in the front row, and in the blink of an eye, two or three hundred people were hit. Many people were killed on the spot by their horses, and those who were not killed were injured.

The final loss reached nearly 150 people. The speed of the subsequent charge was also forced to stop at this moment. The cavalry had lost its greatest advantage in impact.

At this moment, the general of Zhoufu Army shouted loudly, and all the Zhoufu Army rushed forward, picked up the thorny bamboo and rushed forward.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalrymen who were forced to stop were either knocked down by the bamboo or had their faces scratched by the bamboo.

The sudden force of three thousand people forced them to either abandon their horses and retreat, or turn their horses around and try to escape.

But just when they wanted to turn their horses around, they found that countless cavalrymen suddenly bypassed them from both sides. Although these cavalrymen were not fast, they had increased their speed.

The two sides collided in the blink of an eye, and the Tiger Cavalry was killed by this cavalry like cutting melons and vegetables.

The Zhoufu Army, after knocking the cavalry off their horses, rushed forward, and the Mandarin Duck Formation was also deployed. Under the combined attack of the soldiers, they were able to advance and retreat with confidence.

Countless cavalrymen who were knocked off their horses were ruthlessly killed. The 2,000 Tiger Cavalry were soon surrounded and they didn't even have a chance to escape.

In less than half an hour, 2,000 enemy soldiers were killed. The Tiger Cavalry were indeed the elite cavalry of the Dashi Dynasty. Even when they were surrounded, not a single one of them surrendered and they fought hard.

On the city wall. Guan Yizhi saw this scene, his fists clenched, his eyes turned bloodshot, and a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart.

He really wanted to send troops to rescue, but the Tiger Cavalry had been surrounded by the Yan Army. If he sent troops to rescue, it would only lead to a more violent melee.

No matter how many people he sent out, they would all be defeated outside the city. At this moment, he realized how terrifying Chu Yan'er was, and how terrifying the Yan army was. Their amazing fighting power and their means of dealing with cavalry made the cavalry in his hands completely useless.

The biggest advantage of cavalry is charging into battle. If the cavalry cannot charge into battle, the horses they ride on may become a burden! They lose their flexibility.

Looking at the corpses of the Tiger Riders piled up outside the city wall by the Yan army and burned on fire, Guan Yizhi's forehead was bulging with veins and his fists were clenched until bleeding.

At this moment, his heart sank to the bottom. The enemy's combat power was even more terrifying than he had imagined. This battle was in jeopardy!

Seeing the Daxi Dynasty laying low, Aunt Chu felt a little disappointed. This battle was fought too smoothly and the enemy was too strong. She was afraid that Guan Yizhi would not dare to send out troops to test the situation again in the short term!

After the battle, the Zhoufu Army sent a battle report, saying that of the 3,000 Zhoufu Army soldiers, about 300 were lost, and more than 20 of the 2,000 soldiers from the Lianyun Eighteen Villages were injured, but no one died.

Such fighting power made Chu Yan'er admire her husband's strength. He was able to train an army of bandits to have such terrifying fighting power.

A stalemate had formed in Jiangyue City. Jiang Fan had already traveled nearly half of the distance and it would take him about half a month to get back to the capital.

Jiang Fan was not in a hurry at this time. Given the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the Great Western Dynasty was defeated, because the outcome was already determined when they were surrounded in Jiangyue City.

Guan Yizhi was no longer able to turn the tide. Even if more troops were dispatched from the Dashi Dynasty, it would be of no use at all.

Not to mention whether the reinforcements can fight against the Five Tigers of the Ning Family and the 70,000 troops of the Tiezhou Army, the Daxi Dynasty itself may not be able to mobilize many troops.

With Chu Yan'er's intelligence, she definitely knew the benefits of trapping the enemy to death. Since the battle would not be fierce for a while, there was no need for him to rush back to the capital in a tiring manner.

After Jiang Fan slowed down, he began to pay attention to the situation in South Vietnam. Trade and economic cooperation had already begun.
