Chapter 677: Three Three Six: Zhi Wei Doomsday! The final strangulation!_2
Then Zhi You said, "Father, is it possible to disperse the cavalry among various camps just like we do with supplies? Our entire camp stretches out over dozens of miles, and should Suo Lun attack from the air again, even if the war horses are startled, the scale of the disturbance would be much smaller."
Instantly, a cavalry commander said, "Absolutely not. The cavalry must remain massed to be effective. If we disperse the cavalry among the camps and Suo Lun launches an attack from Tianshui City, our twenty thousand cavalry will not be able to assemble in time, leading to unimaginable consequences!"
Zhi You said, "If we don’t do this, after several nights of aerial assaults causing the horses to panic, how many cavalry will we have left, and what will their fighting strength be?"
At this, the cavalry commander was left speechless.
War horses are extremely sensitive creatures. If they are startled several times and go days and nights without proper rest and feeding, their combat effectiveness is basically ruined.
Moreover, tens of thousands of war horses panicked last night, knocking into and trampling each other, resulting in the death of several thousand soldiers and the loss of two thousand horses.
A few more instances of these horse camp explosions, and in just four or five days, these twenty thousand horses would all be rendered useless.
Zhi Wei gnashed his teeth in hatred. Griffin beasts, due to their limited numbers, were seen as superficial and extravagant, not truly utilized on the battlefield but rather more for the king’s ceremonial squad.
But no one expected that Suo Lun’s thundering tactics combined with the Griffin Beasts could have such a tremendous impact.
What’s more infernal is that the twenty or so griffin beasts of the Rage Wave Kingdom were completely under King Quo Bian’s control, and Zhi Li didn’t have a single one.
At this moment, even if Zhi Wei had four or five griffin beasts, Suo Lun would not dare to be so brazen, attacking as if entering an undefended land each time.
