The Human Emperor (200-400)

C354:The Fearsome Iron Cloak Li!

"Our time to attack has come!" Hearing the commotion behind, Wang Chong knew that his trap had worked its wonders.

"Dual Arrow Formation! Charge!" As soon as these words were shouted, the forty cavalrymen came to a halt at the same moment, leaving behind a gap of silence in the air.

To the highwaymen, this silence felt particularly unnerving, like the calm before the storm.

Hong long!

The forty-two cavalrymen suddenly turned around. Arranging themselves swiftly into the Dual Arrow Formation before, they began charging toward the remaining highwaymen and bandits behind the pit.

Hong long long!

A deafening rumble trembled the ground as the forty-two cavalrymen stormed ferociously into the chaotic formation of the Iron Cloak Highwaymen.

There were no words that could describe the astounding sight as many highwaymen were knocked flying into the air, and even towering steeds were shoved to the side.

"Be careful!"

"The cavalrymen are here!"

"Block them!"...

Wretched screams that were intermixed with despair echoed down the main path. Looking at the young figure leading the charge from the front, fear and panic surfaced in the eyes of the highwaymen and bandits.

It was that young man again!

In the past few hours, over two hundred of their brothers had already died at the hands of the Great Tang cavalrymen under his command. Furthermore, the casualties included respected experts such as Hu Lang, as well!

On top of that, despite the multiple battles that they had been through, it seemed like the troops under the young man's command had only suffered minimal damage.

In the face of such a seemingly infallible opponent, even the most brutal and fearless highwaymen felt deeply apprehensive.

Hong long long!

Men were knocked flying, horses were flipped over, and heads and severed limbs danced amidst splattered crimson blood in the air. Just like many times before, Wang Chong's troops pierced through the Iron Cloak Highwaymen's forces easily once again.

But unlike the many times before, there were two sharp edges piercing through the highwaymen's formation this time around.

This formation had allowed Wang Chong to maximize the area of their charge, and destroy even more enemies in their path.

Once, twice...

The Great Tang cavalrymen swiftly reorganized their formation at the other end before launching another charge back at the highwaymen. The same tragic sight unfolded yet again, and the highwaymen's morale, which was at its peak just a moment ago, crumbled into nothing.

Furthermore, it was at the hands of an enemy whom they outnumbered more than two to one.

From the start, cavalry was never required to equal their opponents in terms of strength. As long as they could tear through the latter's formation repeatedly and crush their morale, victory would be theirs to claim.

Having spent half of his life as the Great Marshall on the battlefield, Wang Chong had commanded innumerable troops, so he couldn't be any clearer of the distinctive traits that cavalry possessed.

If one could utilize their cavalry well on the battlefield, they could turn the tides of battle and lead an army to victory.

Highwaymen who didn't even know the slightest thing about military tactics would never be able to understand this.
