Tens of thousands of cavalrymen naturally could not be deployed on the battlefield at the same time. The vanguard regiment of 10,000 cavalrymen was dispatched first. Although there were only 10,000 of them, there were 10,000 of them, not to mention 10,000 men and horses.
The 10,000 cavalrymen rode their horses and left slowly. It looked like a silver ocean rolling along the ground. The hooves of the horses stomped on the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
As the vanguard regiment gradually sped up, the silver wave began to surge violently. The officer at the front blew the horn.
On such a battlefield, the general would have complete decision-making power because the general strategic direction and battlefield goal had been issued at the beginning of the meeting. How to fight on the battlefield depended on the general's on-the-spot reaction, especially since the cavalrymen were too fast. Once they entered the battlefield, the situation of the battle would change in an instant, and there would be no time to send a message to the headquarters.
The speed of the galloping horses and the loud noise they produced also reduced the effectiveness of signal, sign language, and voice transmission to the lowest point. The only thing that worked was the bugle sound from the horn.
With the news from the scouts of the vanguard army, the general of the vanguard army knew that the enemy in front of them was already charging at them. The distance was less than ten kilometers. In a situation where both sides were charging at each other, a distance of twenty kilometers would only take them a few minutes to reach each other. In a situation where both sides were charging at each other, other than equipment, military discipline, morale, training, and quality of soldiers, the most important factor was speed!
Without speed, cavalrymen were even worse than infantrymen. In a clash between cavalrymen, when their levels were close, the side without speed would be beaten to a pulp by the side with greater momentum.
Therefore, at this moment, their cavalrymen began to gradually increase their speed!
As the bugle sounded, the rhythm of the galloping of the horses also increased significantly, and the trembling of the ground became more and more rapid and intense!
On this boundless plain, one could vaguely see a golden wave on the other side of the horizon, but as the distance closed, the soldiers and officers in the front row could clearly see the golden light on the opposite side. It was the cavalrymen of the puppet country!
The general roared and raised his spear to the sky, "Charge!!"
"Wuwuwu!!!"
The sharp bugle sound immediately resounded through the sky. The running cavalrymen immediately began to accelerate to the extreme. The majestic horses galloped, leaving afterimages in their wake!
The right wing of the entire vanguard cavalry regiment began to protrude, while the left wing lagged slightly behind. Looking down from above, one could see a furious golden wave sweeping towards them from the horizon.
From the direction of the Puppet Country, they also saw a silver wave of fury rushing towards them.
If someone were to look down from above, they would be surprised to find that the golden and silver waves were rushing towards them. Their formation was almost exactly the same, like the front and back of a mirror. Two crescent-shaped sickles were rapidly approaching each other, attacking each other to harvest the other!
"Whoosh!!!"
The cavalrymen of the Puppet Country pulled out their long sabers one after another. Their sabers were as straight as a forest as they let out earth-shattering roars.
At the same time, the cavalrymen in the front row raised the single-handed cannons in their hands and fired at the opposite side. Beams of red light shot out. Some hit the cavalrymen, causing them to explode and disappear instantly. Some hit the horses, causing the horses to explode. The cavalrymen tumbled to the ground and were immediately trampled into meat paste by their comrades behind them. These beams of light seemed to be plowing the ground, creating gullies and gaps in the formation. However, they were quickly filled up by the cavalrymen behind them.
This was the trump card of the Puppet Country's cavalrymen: the Cavalry Hand Cannons!
They looked like pistols, but the barrel was extremely thick and there was no rotating part. There was only a central driving part with a magic crystal inlaid in it. The magic crystal was only the size of a fingernail of a little finger. It could only be fired once, and after that, it would be useless. However, in a cavalry assault, the power of this kind of shot that did not require aiming was terrifying!
Even a golden arhat cultivator would die instantly if they were hit by two shots at the same time!
This was also the main reason why no cultivators participated in the charge of the cavalrymen!
Because it was too cruel and the casualty rate was too high. With the preciousness of cultivators, they simply could not afford such a terrible loss.
These two old opponents who had fought for many years were very familiar with each other. When the Puppet Country's side fired, there was a group of cavalrymen in the center of the Da Qi side, each carrying a huge and strange box on their back. At this time, after hearing the bugle, they all bent over on the back of their horses and pressed a button on the box with a backhand.
Immediately afterwards, the chest on the horse's back propped up at a forty-five degree angle under the effect of a mechanism. The chest's opening also suddenly sprang open, revealing twenty neatly arranged fire arrows. Following another short bugle call, they pressed down on the firing button. Immediately, sharp whistling sounds sounded from behind their heads, and one after another, flames shot out, whistling through the air.
This was the trump card of the Da Qi side. The rockets on their backs were called: Golden Snake Wild Dance!
They could only fire all of them in one go at the last moment, and after that, they would be useless. However, once they were all fired, the damage they could cause was very terrifying!
As the swarm of rockets shot out, the sky suddenly lit up. Countless rockets flew like dancing golden snakes towards the sea of cavalrymen from the Puppet Country!
These rockets were not very accurate, and some were even twisting strangely in the air. However, they were too dense, and their target area was too large. As a result, when they fell, half of the cavalrymen were instantly engulfed in the sea of explosions.
Boom boom boom boom!!
"Victory!!
Victory!!! "
The puppet country army that was engulfed by the sea of fire only disappeared for a moment, but they soon rushed out of the sea of fire. Although the number of soldiers had decreased, some of the remaining soldiers were still burning with flames, and their eyes were filled with even more fanaticism!
Seeing that both sides had fired their last attack, the two angry cavalrymen could clearly see each other's ferocious and murderous faces!
The distance of a few hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye. The two torrents were getting closer and closer. The trembling of the earth was so intense that everyone could no longer hear anything else. Everyone had become a seething splash of anger in this monstrous wave. The moment they came into contact with each other, blood immediately blossomed, flesh and blood splattered everywhere!
Bang bang bang bang bang!!!
Countless horses collided with each other, countless weapons clashed with each other, and countless soldiers fought with each other. In this instant, more than two thousand soldiers from each side died in an instant!
The two angry torrents passed through each other. Some had blood all over their faces, some had lost an arm, and some died on the backs of their horses. Because their feet were still stuck in the stirrups, they did not fall off their horses.
Both sides did not have the time to turn around and charge at each other again. When they charged through each other's vanguard, they soon discovered that the other side's second vanguard had already arrived. The second wave of vanguard quickly fired their hand cannons and Golden Snake Dance, dealing another fatal blow to the remaining cavalrymen who had broken through the vanguard's formation.
The vanguard could only continue to charge forward at this time. They knew that there was no turning back now, and they could not turn back at all. They could only charge forward and kill fiercely, praying that they could kill the other side and cause more casualties to the other side!
Thousands of cavalrymen on both sides roared like ghosts from hell, and rushed towards the second wave of cavalrymen in despair and anger. But soon, a quarter of them were engulfed by the other side's light pillars and flames. When they collided again, the damage caused this time was far greater than the first collision!
This time, only one to two thousand people survived, and the entire line of cavalrymen became sparse.
However, the cavalrymen who rushed through the second wave of cavalrymen despaired to find that the third, fourth, and fifth wave of cavalrymen behind them were swarming over!
