Chapter 437: Entering the Battlefield
With Hak in such pain, Hill, sitting on its back, naturally wasn’t having an easy time.
She quickly grabbed the fine fur on Hak’s back, which prevented her from being directly thrown off.
At this moment, Hill was clearly preoccupied with her own survival and had no time to worry about anything else.
Facing such a situation, Harold, as the leader of the Ice Bear Tribe, was filled with shock and fury.
For their Ice Bear tribe, every Ice Bear warrior and the Ice Bears they rode were incredibly precious.
Yet, Luo Cheng and his cavalry’s volley of bloodletting spears had directly killed several of them. How could he not be enraged?
His gaze locked onto the leading Luo Cheng, Harold immediately threw a flying axe from his waist in retaliation.
However, as one of Luo Ji’s few generals possessing both wisdom and courage, how could Luo Cheng be an easy target?
While throwing the bloodletting spears, Luo Cheng, sensing Harold’s attack, quickly raised his long spear.
With a flick of his spear tip, he immediately deflected the flying axe thrown by Harold.
However, Luo Cheng having such skill didn’t mean that the other cavalrymen behind him also did.
The barbarians’ battle instincts, honed in harsh environments, made them launch a counterattack the moment they were attacked.
One by one, the Ice Bear warriors began frantically throwing flying axes at the cavalrymen.
Several cavalrymen hit by flying axes were instantly thrown from their horses.
A battle of give-and-take, with neither side yielding, immediately began!
The current Luo Cheng was no longer what he used to be; a small flying axe attack was not enough to throw him into disarray.
Quickly reorganizing the formation of his cavalry unit, Luo Cheng, realizing that these barbarians were not easy to deal with, began to lead his cavalry in flanking maneuvers.
However, while maneuvering, their offensive would naturally not stop.
“Continue to target that long-haired monster! Second volley of bloodletting spears, fire!!”
At this moment, Luo Cheng had undoubtedly made the same judgment as Zhang Lue and Liu Meng.
These barbarians could not produce sophisticated siege equipment.
In other words, as long as that long-haired monster, which could threaten White River City’s gate, was killed, they, as the defenders, would essentially be in an unassailable position against the barbarian army.
Being continuously forced and attacked by this group of southerners who appeared out of nowhere, Hill’s mood was undoubtedly a mix of shock and anger.
However, circumstances outweighed personal strength.
Even the Mammoth Hak could not withstand such attacks head-on.
Gritting her teeth, she decisively signaled Hak to flee to the rear, choosing to temporarily avoid the direct confrontation.
After two rounds of throwing, the cavalry unit, having switched their weapons back to long spears, clearly no longer posed a threat to the long-haired monster.
Maintaining the momentum of their charge, Luo Cheng decisively shifted his attention to the barbarians riding Ice Bears.
Before this, he never would have imagined that someone could domesticate bears as mounts.
It was also at this moment that Luo Cheng clearly realized that against these barbarians, horse archers would be the best choice!
Unfortunately, the horse archer unit led by Burigude was far away on the grasslands.
When Luo Ji dispatched Luo Cheng, sending him with 500 cavalrymen to reinforce White River City, the battle reports from the front line hadn’t even reached Luo Ji’s hands yet.
Luo Ji, unaware of the barbarian’s troop composition, naturally found it difficult to make targeted deployments.
And by the time he received the battle report and understood the situation, sending a sky-eagle message to notify Burigude on the grasslands to come to White River City as reinforcement would still take 7 to 10 days at the fastest. There was clearly no hope for that now.
Glancing at White River City, the defending forces had already charged out to meet them.
As thoughts raced, a look of determination flashed in Luo Cheng’s eyes.
“All units, charge!!”
A thundering hooves stirred up a cloud of dust.
The cavalry unit, their charge speed now maximized, directly surged towards the Ice Bear warriors led by Harold in the distance.
Harold, knowing no retreat, naturally led his Ice Bear warriors to meet the charge head-on!
Just as the two cavalry units were about to engage in their first head-on collision, at this critical moment, Luo Cheng, leading the charge, suddenly made a feint!
He narrowly avoided the direct attack of the Ice Bear warriors.
Luo Cheng’s sudden move did not surprise the cavalry unit members closely following him.
The cavalry unit had exclusive tactical signals.
The cavalrymen in the rear had clearly already received the signal to avoid a head-on collision with the enemy.
Each of their movements was incredibly precise.
After a quick flanking maneuver, although the momentum of their charge weakened slightly, their destructive power was still astonishing.
The charging cavalry unit swerved to the flank, fiercely attacking the relatively weaker sides of the Ice Bear warriors.
Luo Cheng’s combined wisdom and courage were not for show.
Luo Ji had him follow Guo Jia and Guo Zhen, learning military leadership and strategizing for so long.
The current Luo Cheng was already a capable general who could hold his own!
The relatively weak flank was directly subjected to the cavalry unit’s ruthless attack.
The effect of this wave of offense was undoubtedly outstanding.
With Luo Cheng as the spearhead, the cavalry unit swept through, reaping a wave of enemy lives while also scattering their entire formation.
Without lingering in combat, moving like the wind was a characteristic and advantage of the cavalry unit.
Unless the enemy had essentially lost the will to resist or had already been annihilated beneath their iron hooves, the cavalry unit should never stop on the battlefield.
A cavalry unit that stopped on the battlefield was not far from its demise.
And while the formation of those Ice Bear warriors was indeed scattered, they were far from losing the ability to resist.
The threat of the Ice Bears was still present, and stopping to get entangled with them would likely leave them with little chance of victory.
Keeping Luo Ji’s teachings firmly in mind, after one charge, Luo Cheng, who had a clear understanding of the situation, simply led his cavalry unit away, planning to temporarily disengage from the battlefield and then look for another opportunity to act.
Luo Cheng’s tactics undoubtedly infuriated Harold to the point of gritting his teeth, almost making him spit blood.
“Pursue! Chase them down!!”
Filled with such rage, Harold would certainly not let Luo Cheng and his men escape so easily.
He immediately led his Ice Bear warriors in a mad chase for several hundred meters.
However, while the Ice Bear mounts of the Ice Bear warriors were indeed powerful in close combat, sometimes even capable of unleashing more destructive power than the barbarian warriors on their backs, directly deciding the outcome of a battle, their speed was clearly no match for the warhorses of the cavalry unit.
No matter how fiercely the Ice Bear warriors pursued, in just a few breaths, Luo Cheng’s cavalry unit had left Harold and his pursuers far out of sight.
