The Longchuan Tusi had heard long ago that Tusi Adu had a very powerful heavy cavalry under his command. You know, not to mention in the mountains, even in the Tang Dynasty army, the cost of heavy cavalry is extremely high.
Although there are many cavalry on the grassland, most of them are light cavalry. Apart from the swords in their hands, they basically do not have much armor. But the heavy cavalry is different. Just the armor on their bodies requires a lot of money, so the cavalry of Adu Tusi really cost a lot of money.
According to the previous idea of the Longchuan Tusi, perhaps this cavalry of the Adu Tusi would be useful when the Tang army attacked the mountain stronghold, and they would have a good look at it at that time. They did not expect that it would be used on their own heads. This was something they never dreamed of.
"Release the arrow."
The generals under the Longchuan chieftain immediately ordered their men to shoot arrows, but something surprising happened. When the rain of arrows fell from the sky, the heavy cavalry did not suffer much damage. Instead, they continued to advance despite the arrows in the sky. This was something they had not expected before.
The people on the side of Tusi Adu suddenly gained confidence. When they faced the army of Tusi Longchuan, many of them felt naturally inferior. After all, Tusi Longchuan had been the king for many years. There had been conflicts between the two strongholds in history, but without exception, Tusi Longchuan had won.
So when their chieftain swung his sword, they felt that he was a little inconsiderate. If they were really defeated, looking at the historical situations, our losses might be even greater. The Longchuan chieftain was not born the biggest chieftain. The reason why they had the largest territory and the largest population was the accumulation of wars again and again.
Now seeing how brave their army was, everyone immediately changed their minds. Just as their Tusi Adu had said, if they could really take down this mountain stronghold, who knows what kind of life we would have with the gold and silver treasures inside. And thinking about the future of the land and the people in this territory, it would be simply...
Unfortunately, their joy lasted only five minutes, as the Longchuan Tusi stopped shooting arrows. They also knew that this kind of arrows could not cause any damage to the enemy. In this case, they would adopt another method. The Longchuan Tusi's stronghold was high above, and at this moment, they threw down a large number of stones and rolling logs.
"Supervisory team, go ahead! No one is allowed to retreat. If anyone dares to retreat, I will kill his entire family."
Tusi Adu frowned. In this situation, his men must have suffered heavy casualties. If he ordered them to retreat now, all that had been done before would be in vain. So he could not issue any orders to retreat now. Since the attack had already started, he had to go all the way to the end. Even if these 8,000 heavily armored cavalrymen died here, he had to kill his way to Tusi Longchuan's stronghold.
When the stones and rolling logs were thrown down, a smile appeared on the face of Longchuan Tusi. In his opinion, the enemy would most likely not be able to hold on. After all, the heavy cavalry would definitely suffer heavy losses when encountering stones and rolling logs during such a fierce attack. Looking at the cavalrymen who were lying on the ground in front of him, Longchuan Tusi felt that the enemy would definitely retreat.
But something surprising happened. Two thousand infantrymen suddenly ran out from a distance, holding shining swords in their hands, and then stood in a row. The meaning was very obvious. This was the supervision team of Tusi Adu. If anyone retreated, the swords in their hands would be the best response to you.
Perhaps it was because they saw the determination of Tusi Adu, or perhaps it was because the death of their comrades around them aroused their wildness, so the heavy cavalry did not look back. They continued to rush forward desperately. Even if they stepped on the corpses of their comrades, they would never take a step back. Tusi Longchuan felt the danger at this time.
There were less than sixty meters left before they rushed in. Although the slope became steeper as they went up, this slope could not stop the heavy cavalry. In the past, all kinds of cavalry could rush in on horseback, and it was the same now. Tusi Longchuan looked at the other generals around him, and it was obvious that they had no other way.
"A bunch of rubbish."
The Longchuan chieftain uttered these four words, and his men lowered their heads, not daring to utter a word. If General Ronggong were still around, he might have come up with some useful strategies, but the problem was that General Ronggong stayed at home and did nothing, and in the end, wasn't he still eliminated by you? This is your own cutting off of an arm.
"You guys pass the message across. Make sure to stop them outside the camp gate. If anyone dares to look back, shoot them dead."
The Longchuan chieftain knew that he had to take the initiative to attack at this time. If he only relied on stones and rolling logs, there would be no way to stop the charging cavalry.
Several generals looked at each other. They were all subordinates of the eldest young master. They had suffered heavy losses in the previous wars. It was normal for the Longchuan chieftain to use them as cannon fodder. Who told you not to protect the eldest young master? If the eldest young master was still alive, even if the Longchuan chieftain issued such an order, the eldest young master would plead for them.
But now the eldest young master's body was completely cold. No matter how unwilling they were, looking at the tip of the knife of the Longchuan chieftain and thinking about their families in the mountain stronghold, they could only lead their men to charge forward. Even if they died on the battlefield, they could at least win a chance to survive for their families.
After these thousands of people rushed out, the front of the mountain finally fell into chaos. The heavy cavalry still had an advantage in a melee with the infantry, but after experiencing the stones and rolling logs just now, the heavy cavalry was also extremely tired.
At this moment, they were caught off guard by these people again. Although the heavy cavalry still had the advantage, their attacks had stopped. They could only wipe out the infantry in front of them first. If they continued to attack, their losses would probably be magnified exponentially.
"Hurry up and send someone to pull out our catapult. Does he think he's the only one with a catapult? Hit him hard!"
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Longchuan Tusi immediately ordered his men to take out all the treasures they had hidden in their boxes. "Didn't you enjoy smashing things just now? Now let's see who is more powerful. We are not poor when it comes to family wealth."
