More than a thousand cavalry roared out from Sanping Pass.
The Yun army scouts who were scattered outside the pass saw a group of cavalry wearing Xia army uniforms roaring out. They thought it was the Xia army attacking and quickly warned with beacon fire and smoke.
The Yun Army camp not far away reacted. After a while, a border army general led his soldiers out of the camp to meet the enemy.
When he saw the cavalry approaching, the general of the frontier army who was originally unhappy was overjoyed. He quickly rode up to meet Xiao Cheng and came to Xiao Cheng. He immediately got off his horse and saluted respectfully:
"General, please pay homage to Your Majesty! Even though your Majesty is very powerful, we are still worried about your safety. Now that the dragon body is safe and sound, General and others can rest assured!"
Xiao Cheng tightened the reins, stopped the horse's momentum, looked at the kneeling general in front of him, and said in a deep voice:
"Have the five thousand cavalry sent to meet me returned?"
When the general heard this, he quickly raised his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, I have no news from your Majesty. These five thousand cavalry have not returned yet!"
Xiao Cheng frowned and said:
"How many soldiers and horses are stationed here?"
"The reason why I am here is mainly to guard against the 20,000 Xia troops stationed in Wuzhou. Therefore, I only have more than 16,000 soldiers under my command!" the border army general said quickly.
Xiao Cheng thought for a moment and immediately said:
"Quickly go and lead the troops to occupy Sanping Pass! Send out scouts to explore the horses, find the soldiers who came to meet them, and ask them to withdraw from Sanping Pass into the country!"
When the border army general heard this, he subconsciously looked at Sanping Pass in the distance and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
They saw that the gate of this majestic pass lying on the southwest border of Xia Kingdom, which had resisted foreign enemies for hundreds of years, had been smashed to pieces.
He had not reacted just now, but at this moment he suddenly realized that his Majesty, who personally led the troops to invade the hinterland of the Xia Kingdom, actually led more than a thousand cavalry and captured this majestic pass guarded by heavy troops.
"Quickly mobilize troops and horses to take over Sanping Pass!" Xiao Cheng saw the shocked expression on the frontier general's face, frowned, and spoke again.
The border army general came back to his senses, lowered his head to hide the look of horror and awe on his face, and quickly replied with his hands in hand:
"yes!"
At this moment, the Xia cavalry who were chasing after them also arrived at Sanping Pass.
Looking at the majestic closed door that was shattered in front of him, the leading Xia army general trembled with his lips and murmured:
"Is this still a human being?"
The general next to him also swallowed his saliva and said cautiously:
"General, should we give chase?"
When the leading general heard this, he immediately hesitated.
Let's chase. Just looking at Sanping Pass, which has been breached, we also know how dangerous it is to continue chasing. But if we don't chase, the leader is the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Frontier Army and the person His Highness Prince Qi wants. If we give up the chase easily, we will inevitably have to fight again later.
be punished.
After a moment of silence, the leading general of the Xia Army weighed it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and whispered:
"His Royal Highness King Qi is very strict in running the army. Even a group of lawless southwestern generals would not dare to fall into his hands... You can't fall into someone's hands and you have to chase him! Anyway, not far outside the pass is where the Yun Army camp is stationed.
Come on, let’s go after him, and we’ll be back as soon as we feel like it!”
The general next to him breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said:
"The general is kind and willing to listen to the general's orders!"
The leading Xia Army general nodded, waved his hand and said:
"rush!"
Thousands of Xia cavalrymen rushed through the broken Sanpingguan gate and pursued the more than a thousand cavalrymen leisurely.
Although Xia Jun was just showing off, the noise he made while sprinting was quite big, which immediately alerted the people on Yun Jun's side.
Xiao Cheng turned his head and frowned slightly when he saw that Xia Jun still dared to catch up.
Five thousand elite cavalry broke into the enemy's territory to support themselves, and they must not be ignored!
His face turned cold, he looked around at the more than a thousand cavalrymen, and said in a deep voice:
"Commanders, do you have the courage to join me in another charge?"
The cavalry officers who were originally looking exhausted looked at Xiao Cheng's voice, their eyes were burning, their expressions were cheered up again, and they shouted in unison:
"I obey your Majesty's orders!"
Xiao Cheng turned the horse's head, drew out the Raging Dragon Sword from his waist, roared loudly, and said:
"Kill! Those who dare to pursue you will not be spared!"
"Leave no scraps behind!"
More than a thousand cavalrymen shouted in unison, their voices shaking in all directions, and their murderous aura soared straight into the sky.
In the line of sight that ordinary people cannot see, bursts of killing energy are constantly gathering on Xiao Cheng, flowing along his body, and then feeding back to the cavalry.
Gradually, the bursts of murderous intent became more solid and terrifying.
Vaguely, it echoed with the various auras between heaven and earth, turning into a bloody light that shrouded the heads of the cavalry.
This bloody brilliance condensed into an unknown shadow. Although the physical features and face of this shadow were still unclear, as he looked around, he could see it more clearly than before. He could vaguely see that it was a four-legged alien.
beast.
The bloody beast looked up to the sky and roared, its body covered in blood-colored light, becoming more and more dazzling.
Under the radiance of this blood-colored beast, the Yun Kingdom cavalry, who were trying to keep their spirits up, suddenly experienced a surge of heat in their meridians, which shocked their spirits.
The general of the Xia army looked at the Yun army cavalry who suddenly charged in the distance, his eyes widened, he pointed forward and stammered:
"They, they still dare to come? I'll just show it to my superiors, why are they so ignorant!"
As he spoke, General Xia Jun's tone even became a little aggrieved.
The general next to him looked at the murderous Yun Army cavalry, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said:
"General, the enemy's forces are at their peak. Let's retreat to the pass to resist!"
The general of the Xia army was furious when he heard this and reprimanded:
"The Yun army is exhausted, and we are even more energetic, but you let me..."
Halfway through, the general of the Xia army turned around and saw more than a thousand cavalry galloping in front of him. They stepped down with their iron hooves in an awe-inspiring and murderous manner, and the sound shook the whole country.
Just one glance at it from a distance made the general of the Xia Army suddenly feel frightened and his legs trembled.
He licked his lips, felt cruel in his heart, and said sternly:
"Give it to me, general, give it to me, give it to... oh, take shelter for now, retreat!"
In the end, he still couldn't toughen up.
But think about it, among the Yun army on the opposite side, there are fierce men who can directly smash open the city gate. Are you and your generals worthy of being their opponents?
When the generals around them saw that their commander had ordered a retreat, knowing that they would have an excuse when the superior officials would be held accountable in the future, they quickly breathed a sigh of relief, protected the Xia army generals, and retreated into the pass.
The Xia Kingdom's elite frontier troops, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, saw the Yun Army's iron cavalry rolling in at this time. Their momentum was so overwhelming that they even felt as if they could not breathe, and they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
When they turned around, they saw that their general had already led a group of generals to withdraw into the pass.
The morale of Sergeant Xia's soldiers could no longer be maintained.
The originally neat military formation suddenly dispersed, and then appeared at the narrow entrance of the pass.
The gates of the pass were originally built narrow to protect against enemies. How could they withstand thousands of people swarming up?
For a moment, Xia Jun was crowded at the pass, pushing and shoving each other, but they couldn't get in, and the situation became chaotic.
Seeing that Xia Jun was so frightened that he collapsed, more than a thousand Yun Jun cavalry could not hide their proud and excited expressions on their faces. When they increased their horse speed, they began to scream for death.
"Kill!"
"Leave no one behind!"
The next moment, the sound of iron hooves came closer and closer, and there was only a "puff" sound of flesh being penetrated.
A Xia Jun who was still pushing his colleagues suddenly burst into blood and fell to the ground.
More than a thousand Yun troops then rushed in and started a one-sided massacre towards the Xia army whose back was turned to them.
And just not far away, the middle-aged man who was observing this place with the secret skills of the Yin Yang family suddenly trembled all over when the bloody beast looked up to the sky and roared, and fell to the ground with his eyes covered.
Several young people around him saw this and nervously stepped forward to help them, saying urgently:
"Teacher, teacher! What's wrong with you?"
"Are you okay?"
The middle-aged man let go of his hands, and blood was gurgling from the corners of his eyes. He forced his eyes open, and his eyes looked slightly dim, and wherever he looked, his vision was even blurry.
With the support of three students, the middle-aged man stood up, waved his hands with difficulty, and said in a deep voice:
"Nothing, the secret technique has backlash, just rest for a few days!"
A young student couldn't help but asked:
"Teacher, with your eighth-level cultivation and mystical skills, you can look directly at the fortunes of many emperors and kings in this world. But what did you just see? That you would suffer such a serious fate?
Backlash?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said:
"This Emperor of the Yun Kingdom is really extraordinary! I don't know what kind of method he used to condense the killing aura on the battlefield, forming all kinds of strange phenomena! This battlefield aura is fierce and killing, far superior to other auras. This is why
Make me suffer from this backlash..."
Several students were stunned when they heard this.
When one of the tall and thin students heard this, his eyes showed shock and he said eagerly:
"Gathering the killing aura? Is this the aura that resisted the Xia army's arrow rain just now?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said:
"It should be! The sect leader ordered me to come to Yun Kingdom, maybe it has something to do with this matter... Let's go, let me rest for a few days, and then we will enter Yun Kingdom!"
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the three disciples quickly saluted.
After that, two of the students, one on the left and one on the right, carefully helped the middle-aged man leave.
Only the tall and thin student who had just spoken turned his head and looked steadily into the distance. He had already entered the Xia Army's formation. The invincible Yun Army soldiers had extremely shining eyes.
On the battlefield, the one-sided massacre did not last long.
The clever Xia army saw that they could not squeeze in, so they immediately turned their horses and scattered towards both sides of the pass.
Xiao Cheng and others originally wanted to capture Sanping Pass and support the five thousand cavalry, but they had no intention of pursuing the fleeing Xia army.
Half an hour later, more than 10,000 Yun troops arrived belatedly, with shock and surprise in their eyes. They stepped on the blood of the Xia army flowing all over the place and officially entered Sanping Pass.
For hundreds of years, Sanpingguan, the southwest gateway that had protected Xia Kingdom from attacks from southern countries, fell into the hands of another country for the first time.
