The bank of Ba River.

The shouts of death started as bright as a fish belly in the east and lasted until the setting sun was like blood.

The smoke is billowing and the flag is broken.

The bloody setting sun added a bit of heroic sadness to this fierce battlefield.

The dead were long gone, and the corpses were piled up like mountains. It was not clear which camp they belonged to.

But the living still roared, bursting out with human instinct, fighting, fighting and fighting again.

The blood flowed like a river, and the strong smell of blood further aroused the bloodthirsty and throbbing of humans, who are primates.

Those who can go to the battlefield are extremely heroic.

Those who can survive will return as heroes, regardless of high or low.

The battlefield is boundless, and under the setting sun, countless people are still fighting fiercely.

Either you die or I die.

It was a tragic stage unique to a dignified seven-foot man.

Soldiers will fight against soldiers, and they will fight against generals.

Not retreating until death is the last stubborn backbone of a soldier.

Tragic, this is the most appropriate adjective for this frontal battlefield today.

Whether it's Xiao Yuanche or Shen Jizhou.

All are applicable.

Xiao Yuanche was standing on a high slope a few feet away from the battlefield, looking at the situation on the battlefield with a serious expression.

Next to him was Guo Baiyi, whose white clothes floated silently in the cold spring breeze filled with thick gunpowder smoke.

This is the early spring, when all things are full of vitality. However, on the battlefield in front of us, how many lives are silently withering in the most beautiful years and the best seasons.

The general Huang Kuijia beside him tightly grasped the black and gold double iron halberds, and led the five hundred elite Hantian Guards to guard Xiao Yuanche's safety.

Black armor and black energy, the power cannot be violated.

The eyes of every Tiantian Guard were filled with horror and bloodthirsty. Everyone held their breath and watched the brutal fighting on the battlefield with expressionless expressions.

It was as if the soldiers who kept falling had nothing to do with them.

With the spear in hand, he only listened to the general's order.

The Xingtian Guards will resolutely enter the battlefield, and the Xingtian Guards will fight to the last moment to defend their glory.

"Report——!"

Soldiers came to retaliate with blood.

"speak!"

"Our infantry suffered too many casualties and their formation has shrunk. I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it for much longer!"

After the soldier finished speaking, he tilted his head and died silently.

Xiao Yuanche couldn't bear it. He closed his eyes and raised his head to the sky. He was speechless for a long time.

Guo Baiyi asked softly: "Lord, Shen Jizhou's infantry is several times larger than ours. We can't watch our infantry brothers die in vain. Let's get on the cavalry!"

Xiao Yuanche looked at the sky, his expression suddenly resolute, he had already made a decision, and said in a deep voice: "It's not the time yet, just wait a little longer!"

Guo Baiyi's expression darkened, he knew what Xiao Yuanche was waiting for.

He was waiting for news from Linting, and he was waiting for Su Ling.

The cavalry is Xiao Yuanche's last trump card. He will never order the cavalry to fight until the last moment.

However, how long can our own infantry sustain themselves in the face of an enemy that is several times their size?

Guo Baiyi didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't know how long the infantry could last.

I hope Su Ling can act faster, even faster!

On the battle formation, Xiao Yuanche's infantry fell one after another, and Shen Jizhou's infantry was seen to be encircling them.

Only in the easternmost corner of the battlefield, there was still a small group of Xiao Yuanche's infantry still resisting and fighting.

A few broken infantry battle flags with red trim on a black background were displayed, stubbornly unwilling to fall, dancing silently in the wind.

However, the tidal wave of Shen Jizhou's infantry rushed toward the position where the last Xiao Yuanche's infantry held firm, and it seemed that the last infantry position would be swallowed up in the next moment.

Guo Baiyi couldn't help it again, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, we can't wait any longer, let the cavalry soldiers come forward! The sacrifice of the infantry is too great."

How could Xiao Yuanche not know that he brought 80,000 troops and horses this time, 50,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry.

In this battle, only 20,000 infantry and cavalry were left behind to guard the camp on the north bank of the Bahe River, while the remaining 30,000 infantry were sent out in full force.

The purpose was to hold off Shen Jizhou and buy the most time for Su Ling's actions in Linting.

However, no matter how brave Xiao Yuanche's infantry was, this frontal decisive battle was fought from morning to night. Facing Shen Jizhou's infantry that was several times larger than his own, it was already extremely difficult to persist until now.

However, the cavalry is Xiao Yuanche's last trump card. Once the cavalry cannot resist it and there is no news from Su Ling, Xiao Yuanche will completely fail.

To mount the cavalry or not to mount the cavalry?

Xiao Yuanche really couldn't make up his mind.

He is in trouble.

But he saw that Guo Baiyi, Cheng Gongjun, Guo Baiyou, Chen Shangzhi and other advisers all knelt down one after another.

Guo Baiyi kept kowtowing and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, if all the infantry are lost, even if we wait for news about Su Ling, we may not be able to fight back anymore. I ask my lord, Guo Baiyi, to send the cavalry to fight as soon as possible!"

"I second the proposal!..."

Xiao Yuanche had never seen Guo Baiyi be so eager and hurriedly helped him up.

Guo Baiyi suddenly felt dizzy and coughed violently.

He quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

A pool of blood was spilled on his hands.

In order not to distract Xiao Yuanche, Guo Baiyi hurriedly hid his bloody left hand behind his back.

Xiao Yuanche sighed, finally nodded, and said loudly: "Ten thousand cavalry listen to the order, and you will rush to the battlefield to rescue the remaining infantry brothers!"

“Here—!”

A roar.

Let’s look at the cavalry generals: Xu Jinghu, Xia Yuanqian, Zhang Shiyou, etc. all mounted their horses with swords in hand, their eyes hunting.

"Go ahead——!"

With a loud roar, the generals took the lead, and ten thousand cavalry behind them rushed into the battle formation like a tide.

The cavalry is the trump card that Xiao Yuanche relies on, and they are all well-equipped.

During the more than six hundred years of the Jin Dynasty, except for the cavalry of King Xi of Shaliang, there was no cavalry that could compare with Xiao Yuanche's cavalry.

The cavalry was stationary, and the infantry of both sides fought hard. Although Shen Jizhou's infantry had the advantage, it was already at the end of its strength.

How can we withstand the force of ten thousand cavalry in full force?

The cavalry roared like fire and dragons and rushed into the battlefield.

Spears are like rain, and horses are neighing.

Shen Jizhou's remaining infantrymen were immediately beaten to the point where they cried like ghosts and howled like wolves, making them urinate.

Crush, crush completely.

The exhausted infantrymen, who had already exhausted their efforts, retreated backwards like a flood that had burst a dike.

Ten thousand cavalry roared through the battle formation and finally merged with the final infantry of less than ten thousand.

The two armies, cavalry and infantry, gathered together and simultaneously launched a pursuit and fierce attack on Shen Jizhou's retreating army.

The situation on the battlefield changed instantly.

Shen Jizhou, like Xiao Yuanche, stood on a high slope behind his own camp.

In front of him are five hundred halberd guards, who are also heavily armored elite cavalry, guarding him in a silent and solemn manner.

Seeing that his infantry army was defeated, Shen Jizhou felt a little anxious.

He originally thought that his infantry strength was several times that of Xiao Yuanche's infantry, but he was afraid that Xiao Yuanche's infantry would be defeated at the first touch on the battlefield.

But I never thought that Xiao Yuanche's infantry could resist so tenaciously for so long. From morning to dusk, there were still nearly 10,000 Xiao Yuanche's infantry resisting tenaciously.

What was even more unexpected was that Xiao Yuanche still had 10,000 cavalry, but they rushed into the battlefield at the critical moment, catching his infantry, which he said was unparalleled in the world, by surprise and retreating one after another in a rout.

There was a hint of panic in Shen Jizhou's eyes.

Xu Youzhi and Shen Zhengnan next to them looked at each other, and Shen Zhengnan raised his hands and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Xiao Yuanche sent the cavalry to fight. Our infantry is already at a disadvantage, and the battle has been going on for a day, so why not just let the infantry come back? Hold down the position and send our nine thousand cavalry into battle!"

Shen Jizhou sent 150,000 troops this time, and it was known to the outside world as 300,000. The infantry was the absolute main force, with a total of 100,000. The Bohai infantry was world-famous, and he used infantry as the main force, so he was blameless.
