Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 462: Momentum Like Breaking Through Bamboo

Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Momentum Like Breaking Through Bamboo

Armored cavalry is a subclass of heavy cavalry.

Heavy cavalry refers to cavalry equipped with heavy gear like metal armor, which can be divided into heavy cavalry, armored cavalry, and half-armored cavalry. Their common trait is wearing heavy armor, with the difference being in the horses; armored cavalry refers to those whose riders and horses are both armored.

The warhorses are already large, and with both horse and rider clad in armor, the sense of oppression is palpable.

Especially now, the Jin Xia Cavalry, already terrified by the earth-shattering blast, sees General Yelv shot dead, and then the appearance of armored cavalry, faces turning pale as if their souls are scared out.

"They are coming, they are coming."

"Run quickly..."

The already startled Jin Xia Cavalry, upon witnessing the scene, was so frightened that their guts seemed to burst, madly turning to flee, discarding their weapons.

Some cavalry who couldn’t control their horses abandoned them and ran off.

On the watchtower, Tie Muer held a thousand-mile mirror; seeing Yelv Nuku shot dead changed his expression immediately, and now seeing armored cavalry appear on the battlefield, he was completely stunned.

Jin Xia has many warhorses, though lacking iron ore, a force of ten thousand armored cavalry is still feasible with nationwide effort.

But for Jin Xia, it’s unnecessary.

Firstly, although armored cavalry are fierce, their mobility isn’t as strong as light cavalry, their endurance isn’t great, and they’re not decisively influential.

Secondly, creating a force of armored cavalry is too costly; Jin Xia already lacks iron ores, those used for making armored cavalry could double the number of soldiers’ armors.

Hence, seeing an armored cavalry force emerge within the Chen Army was simply unbelievable to Tie Muer.

If he hasn’t misunderstood, Chen Mo is merely a local regime, not the Emperor, where would he get the resources to create armored cavalry?

Due to the chaotic battlefield situation at present, the armored cavalry emerging in masses confused Tie Muer, making it unclear how many there were.

But he realizes this battle, he’s lost.

The plan discussed last night had already failed midway.

"Recall the soldiers, ring the copper gong to recall the troops." Tie Muer hurriedly ordered.

...

At this moment, Chen Mo had already led the Brave Cavalry Guard into the Jin Xia cavalry army thrown into disarray, the latter being so terrified no one opposed or resisted, and the Brave Cavalry Guard was reaping lives as if harvesting crops.

"Clang clang clang..."

The crisp sound of the copper gong came from the Jin Xia camp.

Originally, the Jin Xia Cavalry considering fleeing still had some hesitation, after all deserters faced execution; now hearing the copper gong, hesitation disappeared completely.

Thus emerged this scene on the battlefield—originally the Jin Xia Cavalry planned to eliminate Chen Mo in a swift move using sacrificing defectors, but unexpectedly, they suffered a heavy blow right at the start and the situation turned around suddenly.

The Jin Xia Cavalry fled with heads hanging low, chased by the Chen Army killing them from behind.

"Don’t let them escape, stay with me as you kill."

Seeing the situation reverse, Chang En hurriedly gave the order.

The taste of being pursued was unpleasant, now it’s time to let the enemy experience it.

Meanwhile, in the Chen Army camp.

"Woo woo woo..."

Sun Meng personally blew the horn, its melodious and long sound spreading throughout the camp.

The Divine Courage, Divine Martial, remaining Xianzhen Guard, Jiangdong Army had already prepared following Chen Mo’s prior orders.

As Sun Meng’s horn sounded, the army lined up and charged out from the camp.

Full army attack!

...

"Not good."

Tie Muer held the thousand-mile mirror, observing the battlefield change closely. Seeing the Chen Army’s armored cavalry closely sticking to his troops, unable to pull away, and afterward, Chen Army’s armored cavalry raised dust in large patches with waving battle flags within, he felt terribly ominous.

The opponents plan to charge through their camp exploiting their retreat.

As the retreating soldiers scatter back, they can’t defend; forcing to organize army formation to block risks the formation being scattered by returning, retreating cavalry.

"Kuimu," Tie Muer said to a commander below the watchtower.

"At your orders."

"I command you to lead five thousand cavalry to shield General Yelv’s subordinates retreat."

"At your orders."

After Kuimu led five thousand cavalry to the battlefield, Tie Muer looked at Tuoba Zhu and said, "Prince."

Tuoba Zhu was also observing the battlefield situation, seeming to know what Tie Muer wanted to say, said, "This isn’t the General’s fault, who could’ve predicted this Song Army had such a lethal weapon." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Tie Muer shook his head, "I underestimated the opponents, causing such results."

He quickly ordered, "Rear guard becomes front guard, retreat."

These two words of retreat Tie Muer spoke heavily.

Seeing they were about to reach Qingzhou, soon they’d reach the place agreed with General Wanyan long ago.

Unexpectedly, suffered such a major defeat.

...

"Kill!"

This was the first time since the establishment of the Brave Cavalry Guard they killed so joyfully.

The previous battle of Huai State was mostly city defense, the Brave Cavalry Guard didn’t contribute much, because the narrow streets were unsuitable for cavalry charges.

But on this vast plain.

The Brave Cavalry Guard was like moving tanks, invincible.

Shao Jinneng holding a horse spear smashed a Golden Cavalry warrior to the ground.

This person was still a martial artist, seemingly not weak; in the instant being smashed to the ground by Shao Jinneng, relying on nimble skills, he rolled out upon hitting the ground, before he could get up, a crossbow arrow shot into the Jin Xia Cavalry warrior’s chest.

He didn’t die immediately, instead letting out a shrill and tragic howl, just like when he attacked Youzhou, after raping a woman, then torturing the woman and her pitiful cry before death.

"This Divine Arm Crossbow is truly effective." Returning the Divine Arm Crossbow into the weapon basket on horseback, Shao Jinneng rode over, smashing the Jin Xia Cavalry warrior’s head with a horse spear.

"Do not be impudent, Kuimu under Grand General Tie Muer’s command is here, confront me...ah..."

"Whoosh..."

An arrow flew through the air, directly lodging into Kuimu’s forehead who came to shield Yelv Nuku’s retreating subordinates; the words at his mouth halted abruptly, he fell off his horse, dying instantly.

Chen Mo drew his bow again; to him, someone like Kuimu with red digits on his forehead shouting like this was just a live target.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Mo released his fingers, another feathered arrow shot out, striking down the flag of cavalry troops moving distantly.

He put down the strong bow, gazing at the large dust clouds rising far away and moving various battle flags, furrowing his brows, drawing the Tang Blade, shouted loudly, "The enemy wants to escape, follow me and kill!"

Hearing Chen Mo’s voice, the Brave Cavalry Guard and following Xianzhen Guard surged with fighting spirit as if invigorated.

Tie Muer’s dispatched five thousand cavalry to shield retreat, unable to block Chen Mo and others’ offensive pace.

Chen Army charged straight like a sharp arrow towards Jin Xia’s camp.

And the Brave Cavalry Guard was the arrowhead.
