Chapter 333: Chapter 225: The Era is Becoming Unintelligible (9000 Words Seeking Monthly Pass)_6

Seeing these cavalry units, the old party officials felt a chill in their hearts once again.

For these were the Jin soldiers’ proud Iron Pagodas and Kidnapper Cavalry!

In this twisted slice of history, the old party officials had also automatically acquired this knowledge, and they were very clear about how powerful these two elite types of Jin cavalry were.

On the Qi side, it was bad enough to rashly perform a counter landing, but to actually send a group of pure infantry disembarking?

It was as if everyone had already foreseen the fate of these poor foot soldiers.

After all, in their opinion, the foot soldiers of the Qi Dynasty could fight against cavalry, but it was best when they were wearing several tens of kilograms of infantry armor.

Otherwise, with a cavalry charge, the foot soldiers would be immediately crushed, without any chance to fight back.

If it were ordinary cavalry, there might still be a chance to fight, but the Iron Pagodas were clad in heavy armor from head to toe, and ordinary swords and sabers were effectively just tickling them. How could they fight?

Even more suicidal, this group of foot soldiers were still forming into orderly square formations, advancing in measured steps toward the cavalry that were about to charge at them.

During the advance, these men had already loaded their flintlock guns with fixed ammunition and were prepared to fire.

On the other side, Yu Jiaxuan, leading another division of the Flying Tiger Army, had also landed.

At that moment, he rode a tall steed, covered in armor from head to toe, looking spirited and formidable.

And behind him was a cavalry unit similar to the Iron Pagodas.

The Qi Dynasty’s armor technology had always been very advanced, and infantry armor was just one example. However, the Qi had always had a shortage of horses.

The cavalry under his command was the result of efforts by the player characters like Chu Ge who had gone to great lengths to squeeze them out, selecting the best of the best. They could be said to have emptied the coffers of several of the Qi’s military forces to assemble such a cavalry unit.

Because of this, Yu Jiaxuan trained day and night, deeply afraid of failing the emperor’s great expectations.

Meanwhile, the group of infantry, who had landed on the other side and formed neat formations, he knew were under the command of another parachute-in leader of the Flying Tiger Army.

The content of their training was completely classified, so he had no idea of the combat strength of this Flying Tiger Army division.

Seeing them now preparing to face the onslaught of the Iron Pagodas with their barefoot soldier bodies, he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of worry.

Yu Jiaxuan did not know that the reason the players had spent so much money to create this cavalry unit for him was purely to see his gallant figure as he charged the enemy on horseback.

It could be considered a case of public funding chasing stars.

But the secretly trained flintlock gun unit was the players’ real trump card for victory.

Soon, the Jin cavalry, emanating black gas, began closing in!

The Iron Pagodas charged from the center, and the heavily armored knights were ready to use their lassoes to interconnect the horses, preparing to launch an unyielding charge like an iron wall.

The Kidnapper Cavalry, on the other hand, had already circled to both flanks, ready to coordinate with the Iron Pagodas in a pincer move to gobble up this seemingly fragile infantry unit in one fell swoop.

To these Jin soldiers, such an infantry division was like meat delivered to their doorsteps.

They lacked heavy armor, Divine Arm Bows, long spears, or caltrops.

How daring it was for these Qi soldiers to line up in neat rows with only a bizarrely shaped implement resembling a long spear in hand and offer themselves up?

Although the Qi Dynasty already had matchlock guns, they were not widely used in battles against the Jin. What’s more, the matchlock and the flintlock were technologically worlds apart, with no similarity in appearance.

So, it was quite normal for these Jin soldiers not to recognize them.

The steel behemoths, weighing nearly half a ton, were ready to begin their charge, and the knights released their lassoes onto the other knights, with the rumbling of hooves making the ground tremble.

For these Jin soldiers, losing to the Qi on the water was nothing unusual, but for a division of Qi infantry to dare to challenge the Jin’s cavalry on land?

This was absolutely intolerable!

They believed the Iron Pagodas would easily crush any Qi forces in their way, just as they had in every previous campaign.

Only this time, the Qi soldiers opposite them raised their flintlock guns in unison.

Aimed at the Iron Pagodas were the dark muzzles of the guns!
