Chapter 959 The Moment of Life and Death
On a piece of yellow sand only twenty miles away from Luoyun City, eight hundred white-horse Yi Cong led by Chen Yue were galloping wildly.
The battle in front of the Beihegou Fortress did not bring any losses to them, but at this moment their expressions became a little solemn.
Logically speaking, this is already the scope of activities of the Yan army. They should be cautious and sneak into Luoyun City as quietly as possible.
But they were uncharacteristically galloping, their horses' hooves splashing yellow sand, and the eight hundred horsemen looked like thousands of people marching.
There was no other reason, it was just that their whereabouts were discovered by Yan Jun, and it was no longer possible to hide the traces.
The Yan army, which was defeated by Chen Yue near Beihegou Fort, immediately reported the news of the Liang army's cavalry encounter after they fled back.
Originally, the hundreds of Liang Army cavalry were not worthy of the attention of the senior generals.
But a cavalry army with strong combat power and all equipped with snow-white horses could not help but ignore them.
There are some generals in the Yan army who survived the original battlefield in Liaodong, and the cavalry in the Liang army that can be equipped with white horses are all elite.
The White Snow Guards, the Great Liang Dragon Riders, and even the white horse Yi Cong.
Although the Yan army could not guess which cavalry army was coming, it did not prevent them from dispatching a large army to surround and annihilate the Liang army.
No matter who you are, just destroy them!
So most of the Yan army's cavalry troops who were besieging Yunjin's defense line were dispatched, and they surrounded them from all directions with clear goals.
The situation faced by Liang Jun was a bit critical.
At first, Chenyue and others were able to avoid some Yan soldiers through their familiarity with the terrain, but as time went on, the number of Yan soldiers' cavalry increased, almost blocking the road to Luoyun City.
After Bai Mayi jumped over a slope like flying, Wuyangyang's Yan soldiers in Hu clothes also chased after him.
The Yan army numbered thousands and came with great momentum.
The two cavalry armies were galloping, one was fleeing and the other was chasing. There was always a distance of three or four miles between them, and the Yan army could not catch up.
Several figures of Yan Army generals appeared on the hillside in the distance. The leading general wearing armor and stationed on horseback was Hemu Dawu, the leader of the frontline battle on the Yunjin Defense Line.
As Wanyanbi's trusted general, Hemu Dawu looked quite excited at the moment.
When the Yan army first arrived at the banks of the Yishui River, Chen Yue personally led five thousand cavalry to attack the Yan army's camp. At that time, he even fought against Hemu Dawu.
Hemu Dawu was lucky and escaped with his life from Chenyue's sword. Of course, he only later learned from Wanyanbi that the general of the Liang army he fought with was actually King Chenyue of Liang.
And He Mu Dawu's eyes now fell on the white horse cavalry in the distance. Yes, it felt familiar.
White horse obeys!
Hemu Dawu had a strong intuition in his heart that Chenyue was among this cavalry!
So today I have to kill him here no matter what.
Eight hundred cavalry formed a short cavalry formation, with the elites in front and behind opening the way, and some lightly injured cavalry were protected in the middle.
Chen Yue's face was quite calm, but Bi Hu and Xu Luo beside him had cold eyes and turned their heads from time to time to look at the pursuers.
It wouldn't matter if they were alone. At worst, they would have to go back and start a fight, but Chenyue is here.
After running a few miles away, the ground in front of everyone began to shake, and thousands of Yan troops quickly gathered from the left and right sides.
There are pursuers behind and interceptions in front, so the situation is very dangerous.
Yan Jun is determined to kill Chen Yue here.
Bi Hu finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Xu Luo, you protect the prince and evacuate, I will intercept the Yan army!"
"promise!"
Xu Luoying shouted and tightened his grip on the spear a little more. This moment was not the time to push back and forth.
Bi Hu had already made plans to use his life to hold back the Yan army, giving Chen Yue time to break out.
"Need not!"
Just as Ben Hu was about to lead his hundred cavalry forward to break away from the formation, Chen Yue waved his hand and shouted: "Just follow me, reinforcements will be here soon!"
Bihu and Xu Luo both had doubts in their eyes, where did the reinforcements come from?
Although Luoyun City is not far away, Chenyue did not send anyone to notify them in advance.
The two of them didn't know what was going on, but they didn't ask any more questions. At this time, implementing the order was above all else.
Chen Yue's eyes were looking straight ahead, where the Yan army on the left and right happened to be closing. There was still a passage less than two miles wide, and it would be completely closed in a moment.
Once the Yan soldiers complete the siege, Chen Yue will have to fight his way out from the thousands of cavalry if he wants to leave.
With a strength of ten to one, death is inevitable!
"drive!"
Chenyue pinched the horse's belly so hard that the horse's speed increased to the extreme, and almost afterimages appeared between the horse's hooves.
Hundreds of elite riders understood this and quickened their pace at the same time.
He Mu Dawu in the distance narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the Liang army shoot out like snow-white sharp arrows, rushing straight towards the middle area where the two armies of his own side were joined together.
"Want to run away? I'm afraid it won't be that easy." He Mu Dawu murmured softly.
He knew what Liang's army was going to do, but no matter how elite the Liang's army was, it was ten times more powerful and it would not be so easy for them to rush out.
Chenyue, located at the beginning of the front line, was only a dozen steps away from the Yan army, and the two-mile-wide passage was estimated to be less than twenty steps wide.
Chenyue lightly raised his spear and made a slight gesture. Everyone knew that the next step was to risk their lives.
"drink!"
The eight hundred cavalrymen raised their spears diagonally in almost astonishing unison and thrust out suddenly.
The leading soldier drew his spear first, followed by the one behind him.
The spear must be used to kill the enemy cavalry. After penetrating the chest of the Yan army, the Liang army cavalry did not draw their spears. Everyone abandoned their spears, drew their knives, and accelerated forward.
Just the little time saved in drawing the spear made Liang Jun's speed a little faster.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Ahhhh~"
Blood bloomed on the battlefield like flowers, and the sudden and fierce offensive of the Liang army made the Yan army stunned.
Just one strike from the spear is enough! In an instant, eight hundred spears can be exchanged for the lives of hundreds of barbarians.
The snow-white horses kept digging into the Yan army's formation, and finally tore a hole and rushed out before the encirclement was completely formed.
After crossing the formation, Liang Jun rushed towards the direction of Luoyun City at high speed, while Chenyue grinned and breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though his face remained calm, he was still nervous.
"Bastard! Chase me!"
He Muda, who was watching the battle from a distance, cursed angrily. He didn't expect to be rushed out by Liang Jun.
"Woo~woo~"
Before the Yan army could rein in their horses and turn around, a sharp horn sounded in the distance, and black battle armor of the same color as the sky rolled in like a wave.
Huge military flags stood and buzzed in the army formation.
Daliang suppresses the Liao army!
Seeing the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of cavalry troops, He Mu Dawu's heart dropped. If the war started like this, no one knew who would win, but Sha Chenyue would definitely not think about it.
To fight or not to fight?
After hesitating for a long time, He Mu Dawu finally sighed, waved his hand and said:
Chapter completed!
