If used well, a cavalry charge could deal devastating blows to the enemy force.

But if used poorly, it could end up like just now, particularly ineffective with little presence at all.

What Joe Dongan had deployed was undoubtedly extremely poor.

Although Lu OG could understand that under his cautious advance, if he wanted to launch an ambush, he could only rely on the mobility of the cavalry to take the lead, but poor was poor.

The facts were right in front of him, and he could not deny it.

However, under this premise, the opposing general's temporary judgment surprised Lu G.

after the cavalry's failed ambush.

What was the most taboo thing? It was recklessly forcing an attack.

Only a novice would do that.

The correct approach was to rely on mobility to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield and seek the next opportunity to strike.

Ziao's actions were correct, indicating to the spear units to continue monitoring the cavalry's movements.

Luogi then ordered the archers to change their target and begin a counter suppression against Zhao Dong Naan's infantry units.

The shift in the situation came too quickly.

The cavalry unit failed to seize the opportunity which brought considerable pressure to Zhao Dong Nan.

As thoughts raced through his mind, Zhao Dong Nan swung his Fontion Halird and shouted loudly, "Charge!" The sound of killing shook the heavens and the enemy's morale was unexpectedly fierce.

Zha Donan's rallying cry clearly boosted morale, aiming to use a wave of initial advantage to suppress Lu G's army.

Seeing through the enemy's intentions, Lu G remained exceptionally calm at this moment.

A glance at the enemy's vanguard unit revealed that there was no need for a closer look.

Their disorganized formation made him acutely aware of the amateurism of this spear unit.

A flash of understanding crosses eyes.

using conscripted new soldiers as a vanguard.

It seemed they intended to use them to exhaust his soldier stamina.

"Chief, these spear units.

" Zhao E, who had clearly noticed this point as well, spoke with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"I know what you want to say.

" Lu Gi cast a faint glance at Zhao E and directly interrupted him.

"It is indeed pitiful for the conscripted civilians, but since they have come to the battlefield and charged with weapons, they are the enemy.

Do you understand? Chapter 289.

Compassion cannot command troops.

Emotions cannot establish affairs unlike when he persuaded Wong Ludong's troops to surrender.

At that time, he had the city wall as a reliance, which to some extent could be said to be fearless.

After receiving the surrendering soldiers, he could immediately call on his subcommanders to manage them uniformly.

However, at this moment, he was leading troops in the wilderness, and attempting to persuade the enemy's soldiers to surrender would undoubtedly add instability to his own troops.

Lu Gi had no intention of doing so at all.

The military formation remained unmoved.

Now was Zhao Dong, who was anxious.

Not him.

Lu G waited patiently, ready to give the enemy the deepest despair when they charged over.

Estimating the distance and feeling it was about time, Lu Gi shouted, "Lu Mang.

" Without needing to say more, Lu Ming drew his bronze battle knife and commanded, "Shield and sword troops, follow me to meet the enemy.

" On one side were the well-trained shield and sword troops, while on the other were a group of conscripted civilians.

The strength difference was evident.

There is no suspense at all.

The militia armed with bronze halbirds crashed in as if they had stormed into the gates of hell, falling into a knife mountain of doom.

The bronze battle knives mercilessly slaughtered the living beings on the battlefield, and a one-sided massacre began.

The overwhelming disparity in strength plunged these forcibly conscripted militia men into deep despair.

What lay before them was not a war, but a series of deaths as they rushed forward one after another to meet their demise.

The morale that Joe Dongan had previously boosted with his skill plummeted to freezing point at this moment.

The bloodied bronze battle knives on the opposing side left them feeling no glimmer of hope, only endless despair.

Seizing an opportunity, Lu Gi shouted loudly.

To those militia men forced into battle, I know you're not here of your own valition, but because Zhao Dong Nan compelled you, I have no intention of slaughtering civilians.

Now, I offer you a chance.

Drop your weapons and flee this battlefield as far as you can.

I promise not to pursue anyone who lays down their arms.

But for those who do not drop their weapons and choose to stay, the battlefield knows no mercy, and you will meet only death.

Luog did not intend to introduce instability while fighting in the wild.

But turning these militia men into deserters was a good way to indirectly weaken Zhao Dong Nan's forces.

His words hit the nail on the head, piercing deep into the hearts of the militia men.

Almost none of them were willing participants.

They were originally farmers, each wielding a hoe to till the land or tend to cattle, suddenly snatched away to the military camp, handed weapons, and thrust onto the battlefield.

Wasn't te that asking them to die.

At this moment, his timely words became a catalyst for their inner emotions.

The fear of the battlefield and death instantly crushed the will of a group, causing them to drop their weapons and flee in one direction.

Humans are creatures with a strong herd mentality.

And this wave triggered a chain reaction with over a hundred fleeing in the blink of an eye, infuriating Zhao Dong Nan, who stood behind the military formation, his face turning ashen.

He shouted angrily, "Those who flee the battlefield will be treated as deserters.

Their families will be implicated and their entire households will be executed.

As the emperor of the great Zhao Zhao Dongan's words were undoubtedly intimidating, effectively stifling the militias nearly breaking morale.

The sight of the militia men, faces filled with despair, gripping their weapons and fighting on the battlefield made E beside him feel a twinge of compassion.

He then loudly urged these civilians to put down their weapons and escape.

In response, Lu Gi remained silent, letting him shout.

Zhao, he had a flaw, which could also be seen as a virtue.

He was very kind to the common people and could undoubtedly become a beloved general.

However, he clearly still had much to learn.

Observing Zhao E feudal persuasion, Lu G calmly spoke, Zhao E, kindness does not win wars and emotions do not establish order.

Once you understand these eight words thoroughly, you will be qualified to lead an army.

After saying this, Luog ignored him, drew his bronze long sword from his waist, and shouted, "Charge everyone with a skill.

" Lu G raised the morale of his troops to the next level.

The sword and shield unit, axe, and shield unit, and Halbert unit charged forward under the leadership of the fierce generals Lu Ming, Lu Yong, and Gujan.

The militia men blocking their path were slaughtered in waves.

At this point, Zhao Donan's expression had turned to one of extreme difficulty.

However, having fought to this stage, he had no way back.

All his forces were committed to this battle, and even to secure this fight, he had forcibly conscripted militia men, causing widespread resentment in the great Joe.

It was win or die.

There was no third option, charge.

With this thought, Zhao Dong Nan holding his Fontion painted Halbert high also launched a determined charge.

The main forces of both sides quickly collided.

It must be said that the opposing side had quite a few commanders.

Looking across, Luji saw at least four or five wearing bronze armor, adding considerable combat power to Zhao Dongan's army.

The infantry battle appeared somewhat stalemated.

Indeed, the focus of this fight lay with the cavalry.

Whichever side could first leverage the incredible destructive power of their cavalry would gain the upper hand, becoming the key to determining the outcome of this battle.

At this moment, however, the crucial cavalry unit under Xiaoa s command quickly slipped out of everyone at sight.

Glancing back, although he could still vaguely hear the distant sounds of battle, there was no sign of the battlefield within his line of sight.

Xiaoa let out a slight sigh of relief, then raised his hand, allowing the galloping cavalry to slow down for their horses to catch their breath.

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Xiao regained some focus.

What he needed to do next was to look for opportunities on the outskirts of the battlefield and wait for the right moment to cut it.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a sudden incident occurred.

A hail of arrows rained down from the sky, instantly killing several of his cavalrymen, who henti had time to react.

This unforeseen situation caused a flash of shock to cross's face.
