The cavalry from both sides charged and fought together.
Yan Wulu didn't give Hu Qi any chance to escape from the battlefield and reorganize to surround him. Instead, he relied on the speed of the black cloud horse under him to cut through the entire battlefield like the wind.
All the cavalry guards followed Yan Wulu closely, always maintaining a cone-shaped formation with sharp swords.
After the death of the prince, they seemed to have nothing to fear.
For a moment, they felt as if they were following the invincible king and entering this bloody battlefield together again!
After breaking through the defense line, all the Zhenbei cavalry guards immediately used their heavy lances as spears and threw them with all their strength.
Wherever the two-meter-long iron gun passed, blood splattered and people died or were injured.
The moment the iron spear left their hands, the cavalrymen had already drawn the swords from their waists, and swung their swords down from their horses with all their strength to slash.
Puffs of blood splashed up and landed on their armors. These mounted guards were like death Shuras bathed in blood, fighting hard.
The war horse soared into the air.
Yan Wulu was surrounded by several Hu cavalry who finally caught up. He jumped up with his horse, and he swung his sword downwards in mid-air.
Men and war horses danced together, and swords danced like the moon. (1)
The Hu cavalry that had just arrived were obviously the ones surrounding Yan Wulu, but at this time they had no choice but to raise their scimitars or shields to defend themselves.
The shield of a young Hu Qi met Yan Wulu's sword. He only felt sharp pain from the tiger's mouth, and the next moment the shield flew out.
Yan Wulu cut off the Hu Qi's throat with one sword without hesitation.
The war horse landed.
The head also fell to the ground.
Yan Wulu did not hesitate at all and continued to rush forward, followed closely by the other Zhenbei cavalry guards.
Yan Wulu went straight towards the enemy's central flag.
There, it was the location of General Wanyan Lie, the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Hu Cavalry.
To capture the thief, capture the king first.
This... is the way to break the situation.
Wanyan Lie's subordinates rushed forward, found him, and asked him to give orders, but found that Wanyan Lie, wrapped in the original gorgeous leather armor, was pale and trembling.
Wanyan Lie witnessed the opponent crossing most of the battlefield, heading towards him with overwhelming force.
He was shaking uncontrollably.
He thought of once...
When he was young, he was also on such a battlefield, and it was also a battle between Wan Yan Lie and the many against the few.
Wanyanlie, who was fashionable and extremely proud at the time, suffered the first disastrous defeat in his life.
His opponent is Zhenbei Wang Yandong...
The troops under his command were wantonly torn apart by Yan Dong's cavalry.
The dignity of his "golden family" was trampled by Yan Dong's cavalry.
He himself almost died under Yan Dong's [Overlord Spear].
That's a bloodthirsty overlord!
There's no way he can win...
Wanyan Lie completely lost from that day.
His pride, his dignity, and his conceit were all completely shattered in that battle.
Until later, Bei Xinjiang and Bei Di secretly formed an alliance, Yan Dong guarded Bei Di, and Bei Xinjiang no longer harassed Bei Di.
The two sides no longer had to face each other on the battlefield, and Wanyan Lie's fear gradually faded away.
But now, that nightmare-like fear seems to be back again, and it's getting worse...
He failed miserably again...
Wanyanlie screamed in panic. He pushed away his subordinates who were shouting anxiously for him, turned his horse's head and fled in the direction he came from.
A gentle sigh fell into Wanyan Lie's ears.
Wanyan Lie was a little lost...
He turned towards the sighing figure, it was the young man from the wolf tribe whom he looked down upon.
The latter had already bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and fired the arrow.
Wanyan Lie followed the trajectory of the arrow and discovered that the young leader of the Sword Horseman, who had just appeared like a god of death, had been hit by an arrow and fell off his horse.
The other swordsmen around him immediately guarded him in the middle.
After the initial confusion, the Hu Qi under his command had already surrounded the less than a hundred horses.
They...can't escape.
Wanyanlie was in a daze...
My own strength is far superior to that of this wolf youth. Why, on the contrary, I...
Wanyan Lie's courage as a warrior has been taken away by Yan Dong.
Wanyan Lie was a little absent-minded, but he still managed to cheer up at this moment.
"Kill them, leave no one behind."
Wanyan Lie gave a simple command, sonorously and forcefully.
The surrounding messengers tried their best to forget the embarrassing scene of their generals just now, and they waved flags and sent orders.
…
Yan Wulu had just been hit by an arrow and fell from his horse.
The sharp arrow pierced his right shoulder.
It is a kind of bow and arrow unique to the Hu people. It has barbs and cannot be easily pulled out.
The surrounding cavalry guards immediately changed their formations, trying their best to ensure that the horses would not trample the crown prince Yan Wulu, and began to form a formation around Yan Wulu to protect him.
"It seems that I'm sorry, everyone."
Yan Wulu covered the wound on his right shoulder and suddenly smiled bitterly, "...This time, I failed to bring all the brothers back safely. The responsibility lies with me."
"What the prince said."
"Yes, if that despicable wolf tribe member hadn't reported the news to the barbarians, we would have returned to the Northland long ago."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself."
The cavalry guard beside him comforted Yan Wulu.
Yan Wulu sat there and smiled softly.
After all, he is only an early stage third-level warrior. Even if he is blessed with many rare treasures, he cannot be truly invincible and invincible like his father Yan Dong.
In the distance, Wanyan Lie's killing order has been transmitted.
The war horse gallops.
Yan Wulu's eyes narrowed, and he gradually stood up...
"Brothers, finally, let's kill again!"
Yan Wulu said loudly: "...the Zhenbei Army will never be destroyed because of you!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The roars of the mounted guards echoed through the sky.
The two sides fell into the most primitive physical fight.
The first wave of Hu Qi failed to break up the opponent's formation.
The mobility of the cavalry could no longer be developed.
We can only fight hand to hand.
Countless horses and soldiers fell one after another, but the fighting continued...
For a time, blood flowed into a river, dyeing the surrounding grassland and mud red...
…
Yan Wulu wanted to move forward and join the battle.
However, the surrounding cavalry guards firmly protected him in a safe area and did not let him get close to the outer battlefield.
Yan Wulu was moved, but he only felt that if this continued, everyone would die sooner or later.
But he is not ready to die here yet!
…
Shen Yupei, a young man from the wolf tribe.
Riding on a giant gray magic wolf, he did not get along well with Wanyan Lie, but his allies in Northern Xinjiang only arranged for him such a supporter.
There is no way.
I heard that Wanyan Lie was also a brave general in Northern Xinjiang before, but Shen Yupei still hasn't noticed it yet.
Hu Qi has been unable to reach the center of the formation in front of him.
Shen Yupei leaned into the ear of the giant demon wolf and whispered——
"Senior Huiyun, please give me a helping hand..."
As he spoke, one person and one wolf moved quickly...
…
Among the mounted guards.
Zhang Chunhua had already arrived at Yan Wulu's side to protect him. Occasionally, a few powerful Huqi men rushed into the formation, but they were immediately killed by Zhang Chunhua.
She had been following Yan Wulu before.
The number of people killed in the entire team was second only to Yan Wulu.
Moreover, she was deliberately restrained.
As the pillow of the Crown Prince Yan Wulu, she would never try to steal the limelight from her beloved husband...
Otherwise, with the strength of Zhang Chunhua, a sixth-level Dzogchen warrior, although he dare not claim to be able to take the enemy general's head directly when surrounded by layers of barbarian cavalry, he can still kill him with his head rolling.
It's just that at this moment, it seems like it's really a desperate situation.
Suddenly, Zhang Chunhua's spiritual consciousness sensed an abnormality and immediately turned around to protect him with his sword.
A demon wolf, much taller than a war horse, jumped into the cavalry formation and attacked Zhang Chunhua with one claw.
Although he was blocked with a long sword, the huge force of the demon wolf still pushed Zhang Chunhua back, leaving two conspicuous marks on the grass with a pair of brocade boots.
There is a young man on top of the demon wolf...
The latter was concentrating on it, aiming his bow and arrow directly at Yan Wulu's location.
Zhang Chunhua's eyes narrowed, and after releasing his strength, he flew forward.
In the distance, Yan Wulu also felt something in his heart...
The arrow in Shen Yupei's hand shot out instantly.
Zhang Chunhua failed to intercept.
Yan Wulu stretched out his left hand slightly, flashed the ring on his finger, and appeared in heavy black armor...
The arrow landed on the black-armored demon puppet, leaving no trace and falling straight away.
"Kill him. Don't let him disrupt the formation."
Yan Wulu was seriously injured by an arrow and could no longer use his sword for a while. He coldly gave orders to the black-armored demon puppet.
The next moment, the black-armored demon puppet disappeared...
When he reappeared, he had already punched the demon wolf on the head.
…
There is a black-armored demon puppet as a shield.
Zhang Chunhua is confident that within the next fifty moves, he can remove the demonic wolf and the young man's head.
The demon wolf and the young man tried to attack Yan Wulu several times, or to tear apart the formation from the inside and let Hu Qi rush in, but they were stopped in time by Zhang Chunhua and the black-armored demon puppet.
The cavalry guards completely entrusted their backs to their trusted prince...
But even so, Hu Qi's huge numerical advantage gradually made them feel overwhelmed...
In a daze.
A special sound of hoofbeats sounded from far to near.
"It's reinforcements!"
A certain mounted guard in the middle of the bloody battle heard the familiar sound of horse hooves hitting the ground from afar.
The war horses of the Zhenbei Army are different from the war horses of the northern Xinjiang barbarians. Most of them are trained by specialized animal trainers and have certain armor.
The horseshoes are inlaid with fine hoofs, which are more suitable for long-distance running and are also more suitable for deterring trampling!
"Your Majesty! Reinforcements are coming!"
"Reinforcements are coming——"
The cavalryman's voice was high-pitched.
…
The distant sky.
North direction.
War horses gallop and iron hooves trample the earth.
The turf on the desert grassland was blown away and rolled into the air like smoke.
In the smoke and dust composed of turf and sand, the king's flag with the word "Yan" in black letters and red background surged like a raging tide.
The armor was clanging, and the torrent of heavy black armor came from the horizon in people's sight.
This cavalry was like a black whirlwind passing over the earth, approaching the battlefield in an instant.
Hu Qi from Northern Xinjiang is not a drunkard.
They made a prompt decision and stopped the siege of the small group of people in the center. They quickly turned around and gathered together, hoping to meet the sudden attack of the black heavy armored cavalry.
The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was heard.
It is a light cavalry cavalry shooter in the Zhenbei Army.
Cavalry and archery were the tactics that the Hu people were best at.
However, since the king of Zhenbei, Yan Dong, asked to "learn from the barbarians and gain skills to control the barbarians," the cavalry in the Zhenbei army must be proficient in the art of riding and archery.
Most of them are light cavalry, following behind the black heavy armored cavalry and guarding them on the left and right, serving as a wing guard for encirclement and suppression.
And after entering the shooting range, he took the lead in launching a cavalry attack on the enemy, creating a larger gap for the black heavy armored cavalry to charge.
"Defense, defend quickly!" Wanyan Lie gave the command to the Chinese army.
Things are changing rapidly on the battlefield.
Those who were on the offensive side one moment suddenly became the prey of others.
That's right, it's prey!
The cavalry that came carrying the blood-red royal flag formed a battle formation like a crescent moon, and the light cavalry took the lead in surrounding these barbarian cavalry.
The slightly slower cavalry, wearing heavy black armor, arrived at the battlefield and quickly launched an all-out charge without taking any rest. In an instant, it was like a mountain falling apart.
It gives the impression that this is a violent beast, and the Hu Qi in front of him is just the prey under its fangs.
Iron armor was crisscrossed, and blood was splattered, just like the blood-red king's flag that was fiercely unfolded.
…
It only takes a moment.
The black heavy armored cavalry completely dispersed the Hu cavalry who besieged Yan Wulu.
The heavy armored cavalry charged into the formation, and Yu Yan Wulu and others separated on the left and right sides.
For a moment, it just felt like a mountain passing by.
Hu Qi collapsed at the first touch.
Wanyan Lie's army in the distance tried their best to block it, but for a while they were no more than a mantis blocking a car.
A tall, almost oval-shaped general, riding a tall war horse, came straight to where Yan Wulu was.
The camera zoomed in, and it was none other than Zhu Gongqi.
"The right general Zhu Gongqi, following the king's order, led his army to greet the crown prince!"
Zhu Gongqi turned over and dismounted, and bowed respectfully in front of Yan Wulu.
At the same time, step forward immediately.
He wanted to hold Yan Wulu's right arm, but he was afraid of touching the wound.
For a moment, Yan Wulu could only express concern and said dryly: "...His Royal Highness, you are injured! Come on, come on, where is the army doctor?!"
"...Who is looking for death? He dares to hurt my heir apparent with an arrow!"
In the distance, Wanyan Lie struggled to stabilize the battle line.
But he found that he was deeply surrounded by the enemy...
He swallowed, took a step forward on his horse, and spoke directly to Zhu Gongqi, the general of the Zhenbei Army, in common language——
"Generals, long time no see."
"Wan Yan Lie?"
Zhu Gongqi also discovered the other party, and he was furious in his heart, "...Okay, are you the only one who shot a cold arrow and hurt the heir apparent of my family?"
"...You Wanyan Lie, let's see if your grandpas don't tear off your head and use it as a ball today!"
As he spoke, Zhu Gongqi mounted his horse again, not knowing why his figure was so flexible.
…
War horses gallop.
Yan Wulu didn't even have time to say a word.
Zhu Gongqi was actually in front of the two armies, knocking Wanyan Lie off his horse and capturing the opponent alive.
The general is defeated.
Being surrounded by iron cavalry, even the elite Hu cavalrymen from Northern Xinjiang were immediately confused in their fighting spirit.
Zhu Gongqi waved out the thorn shield in his hand.
The black-armored heavy cavalry gives the enemy the final charge.
Countless people died under the iron heel of heavy armor, and even more surrendered...
Zhu Gongqi tied Wanyan Lie in front of Yan Wulu and stepped on him, just like a general asking for battle bringing enemy prisoners to his lord.
"Your Majesty, the enemy general has been captured."
Everything happened extremely quickly, just in a matter of seconds.
"General Xiaozhu, why did you suddenly appear here? This is outside the Northland." Yan Wulu asked.
The Zhenbei Army cannot leave the north unless ordered by the emperor.
"Hui Shizi, I am here specially according to the king's order."
"Father?"
"Yes." Zhu Gongqi replied affirmatively, "Your Majesty has a clever plan and asked me to lead my troops in advance, as well as the 'Iron Buddha Tu' (1) directly belonging to the King, to come here to welcome the Crown Prince."
…
(1) Iron Buddha Tu, also known as "Iron Buddha Picture", was a heavy horse under the command of Jin Wushu, the general of the Jin Dynasty during the Song and Jin Dynasties. The author thinks this name is very cool, so it is convenient to quote it here.
