Chapter 248 The first battle at the frontier is absolutely crushed!
After several days of preparation, Ye Chang dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers and appointed Li Mu as the leader of this army to rush to the border.
When he learned that this mission was to fight against aliens, Li Mudun also became interested.
You must know that when he was in Northern Xinjiang, he was known as a wolf hunter. A single Zhenyue Sword made hundreds of thousands of Huns' cavalry dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool.
He originally thought that he would never have the chance to fight against foreigners in the future, but he did not expect that this time he would have an opportunity. In addition to his old enemy the Huns, the Macedonian phalanx also made him somewhat curious.
After listening to the former's detailed analysis, Li Mu knew what was going on and led 10,000 cavalry straight to the north without any delay.
Because they were all cavalry, the march was extremely fast, and they reached their destination from Yangzhai in just a few days.
Meng Tian, who was guarding the border, naturally received the news in advance and went to greet him in person.
Looking up, he saw a cloud of smoke and dust not far away, and the sound of horse hooves like a tidal wave getting closer and closer, and then many cavalry in black armor appeared in his sight.
Looking at the orderly rows of heavy armored cavalry, Meng Tian couldn't help but be shocked. Just from the prestige, he could tell how extraordinary this army was.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhanghui had such a terrifying iron cavalry. From the armor to the weapons, they were equipped with the highest level of equipment. Just looking at the thick armor gave people a strong sense of oppression.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, all the elite troops numbering ten thousand were in place. Following Li Mu's order, they quickly organized their formations, and the formation changes were smooth and smooth.
Looking at the leader, Meng Tian couldn't help but feel his heart move, and said slightly surprised: "Are you General Li Mu?"
Since the fall of the Zhao Kingdom, the other party has disappeared. Some people say he is dead, while others say he has retired to the mountains and forests. He never thought he would be seen today.
When Li Mu heard this, Ye Zhang looked him over, nodded and said, "Descendants of Meng Ao? Yes, they are better than others."
He thought that he had fought against his grandfather before, but he didn't expect that his descendants would now become generals guarding one side.
Meng Tian came to his senses and cupped his hands and said: "It is truly an honor for me to meet the military god Li Mu today. Please give me your advice!"
At the beginning, both sides of the Seven Kingdoms dispute were their own masters and were considered enemies. But now that the other party has joined Ye Zhang and came to help him fight against his clan, he is naturally his comrade-in-arms.
After chatting casually for a few words, Li Mu asked: "How many enemy troops are still entrenched at the border now?"
Meng Tian replied: "There are tens of thousands of Xiongnu remnants, and there is also a foreign army."
Li Mu nodded: "General Meng has worked hard these days. Leave the rest to me."
Hearing this, Meng Tian's expression changed and he said: "The enemy this time is unusual. Senior, it's better to be more cautious."
Li Mu chuckled and said: "No problem, I have a plan in mind. If the general is worried, just lead his soldiers to raid the formation for me."
Seeing his persistence, Meng Tian couldn't say much. After all, the opponent was a famous general in the world and would not fight an uncertain battle. It's just that the enemy had several times the strength, so he could really win...
Li Mu naturally saw the hesitation in his heart, and then gave the answer with facts.
After completing a simple survey, they led 10,000 cavalry directly to Huanglong and killed the Xiongnu camp in the simplest and crudest way.
He is very aware of the power of the army in his hands, and only needs to adopt tactics when the strength is insufficient. If it can be directly crushed, naturally it will be satisfying to just rush over.
Under such circumstances, the Xiongnu naturally noticed the movement and immediately mobilized troops to respond.
At the same time, the leader of the Macedonian army, Creon, reacted immediately and issued an order to form a Macedonian phalanx again to resist the former's offensive.
Li Mu took a look at the alien coalition forces in front of him. There was no fear on his face, only a coldness mixed with murderous intent. He would not show any mercy to these guys.
Then he raised his finger and ordered: "Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tens of thousands of cavalry under his command all let out a loud shout, and then launched a charge against the biting west wind, as unstoppable as a torrent of steel.
Seeing this, the Xiongnu on the other side became vigilant instantly, holding his breath and clenching the scimitar in his hand.
Creon also had a serious look on his face, and he could naturally feel the terrifying nature of this cavalry. Their momentum alone was much stronger than Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry.
He did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately raised his hand and ordered: "Form up!"
As soon as the words fell, many Macedonian soldiers shouted in unison, then raised their spears and formed their usual defensive formation.
Seeing this, Li Mu's eyes flashed, and he waved his command flag, and his cavalry immediately raised their crossbows to trigger the mechanism.
In an instant, crossbow arrows like steel needles flew out, tearing the air at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye, and hit the opponent's leather round shield.
"Bang bang bang..."
With a burst of intensive sound, the Macedonian shield was penetrated directly, blood spattered and screams of pain were intertwined, and each soldier fell to the ground.
You must know that these repeating crossbows are made with great skill and are more powerful than the heavy crossbows of the Qin army. Naturally, they cannot be resisted by ordinary armor and shields.
After a wave of arrows, the Macedonian soldiers suffered heavy casualties and their formation was directly disrupted. Before they could make adjustments, Li Mu led the cavalry to the front.
Thousands of horses galloped towards the phalanx in front of them with invincible momentum. In the blink of an eye, the two forces directly collided with each other.
"attack!"
As Creon was startled, he quickly issued an order. The Macedonian soldiers in the front row almost subconsciously waved their spears and stabbed the charging horses fiercely.
This is the most commonly used fighting method in Macedonia. When facing cavalry, the first thing to do is to get rid of the horses first. A cavalry without a mount is like a tiger without sharp teeth.
However, this tried-and-tested tactic had an accident today. After hitting the horse, the sharp spear was unable to penetrate even a single inch.
Following a burst of sparks, the spearhead was directly blocked by the armor on the horse's body, unable to cause any damage at all.
After the interception failed, Li Mu led his cavalry to directly break through the defense of the battle formation. As screams were heard, many Macedonian soldiers were knocked away.
