Chapter 1 The Torrent of Iron Cavalry

The torrent of iron cavalry began to surge. The last time a clash of massive cavalry legions of this scale occurred was when Marquis Jingnan and Marquis Zhenbei led their armies to open up Jin and jointly destroy the Helian and Wenren families.

Now, the grand spectacle of thundering hooves was once again unfolding on the lands of the Three Jins.

In reality, Marquis Jingnan didn't know what exactly had happened behind the wildmen's lines.

He had dispatched Zheng Fan's troops to the rear, initially intending for Zheng Fan to serve as a barrier between Jade Plate City and the Chu Kingdom, as well as a deterrent. As for how far Zheng Fan could go, what results he could achieve, and what impact he could have on the overall battle situation, Marquis Jingnan held a hopeful attitude, but he wouldn't place all his hopes in that basket called Zheng Fan.

As a disciple he had personally guided and cultivated, Marquis Jingnan believed in Zheng Fan's ability to lead troops, and Zheng Fan had almost never disappointed him.

But the matters of the frontal battlefield still had to be resolved on the frontal battlefield.

No matter how complex or profound the schemes, they couldn't make the wildmen obediently await their slaughter. In the end, it still had to come down to a real battle formation.

No matter how much planning or preparation,

Its effect,

Was nothing more than slightly swaying the direction of your final decisive battle to favor your side.

The constant shifting of troops these past few days, in addition to the purpose of training each army, was actually a "sleight of hand" deception.

The armor and banners of the Jingnan Army and Zhenbei Army were exchanged with local armies, imperial guards, and the armies of the Cheng Kingdom. The key to this was "secrecy."

Why had officials and military officers, whether from the original Cheng Kingdom or the army, been directly beheaded for the slightest carelessness during this period? The strict military law made everyone afraid to cross the line.

To outsiders, it seemed that Marquis Jingnan was establishing his authority.

But in reality, these were just external reactions triggered by the need to isolate information.

To put it coldly, the elimination of spies and the need for secrecy meant it was better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go.

Perhaps, throughout the entire Yan Kingdom, only Marquis Jingnan could manage this kind of warfare, using his absolute control over all the armies to promote this plan.

The original plan was to use the "sleight of hand" method to win an opportunity for his true elite to face the wildmen's main force head-on.

If General Zheng were here at this moment, he would definitely applaud and shout "6666" for Marquis Jingnan's plan.

Knowing that you wildmen king liked to play "Tian Ji's horse race" (a strategy where one arranges their horses in a specific order to win a two-out-of-three match), he would simply switch the positions of the horses first, giving you a reverse "Tian Ji's horse race."

Of course, the original arrangement was not so radical. It would require further preparation and slowly "enticing the enemy into the trap."

But in the process of his troop deployments and the wildmen's responses, Marquis Jingnan keenly sensed that something seemed to be wrong in the wildmen's rear.

The Wildmen King had lamented,

That he would rather not have known about Snow Sea Pass,

Because once he knew, then the subsequent troop deployments and responses, no matter how much he tried to conceal it, would carry that deliberate flavor.

Marquis Jingnan didn't know that Snow Sea Pass had already fallen into the hands of the Shengle Army and that the situation was very favorable,

He even speculated whether a large tribe on the snowy plains had rebelled at this time, causing the wildmen king to worry about his rear.

But the real reason didn't matter. He only needed to understand that the wildmen, in addition to "lack of food," had an added sense of urgency.

Taking advantage of people's urgency,

He might as well simply help them out.

Other troops wearing the armor and banners of the Jingnan and Zhenbei Armies crossed the river overnight, and siege equipment was also pushed over, because he was sure that the wildmen king would not actively come to Jade Plate City to relieve the Chu army.

Battlefield strategy,

To put it bluntly,

Was also a kind of psychological duel between the two commanders.

Based on the style of the opposing commander, one would predict their actions, and then deploy based on that prediction.

It was like a thousand-layer cake; he thought you were on the third layer, but you were actually watching him from the fifth layer.

Of course, calling it "gambling" wasn't entirely accurate.

Because other than the wildmen king's direct lineage, half of his troops were from other tribes;

Rather than saying they were the army of a nation, it was more accurate to say they were an alliance of bandits.

Since they were there to loot, and had already looted many things back, just like people who need to slow down after struggling, to enjoy life and savor the value of their struggle.

This kind of group, you want them to go all out after eating and drinking their fill, they couldn't do it. And many times, it wasn't the "king" who controlled the will of the group, but the will of the group that needed a "king" to represent them.

The difference in political systems and the nature of the country could show a great disparity at times like this. If there was profit, they would go; if there was no profit, they would retreat. If there were benefits, they would do it; if there were no benefits, they would hide.

The wildmen king and those chieftains might be shouting every day about how hard it was to leave their homeland, but they had all prepared to run back if things didn't look good.

This, and the eastern expeditionary army holding their breath to avenge their fallen comrades in the last Battle of Wangjiang and to wash away the shame of the Yan army, formed a stark contrast.

Back then, the reason why Marquis Jingnan and Marquis Zhenbei had stood behind the Yan Emperor to forcefully trample the aristocratic families was to end this phenomenon in the Yan Kingdom, allowing the Emperor's will to drive the will of the entire country.

As the saying goes, no amount of planning can keep up with a single change. General Zheng's divine assistance far away in Snow Sea Pass was like a giant wave stirred up by a butterfly,

Making Marquis Jingnan's arrangements here in Wangjiang being "fed" too comfortably.

Still that *pixiu* (mythical wild beast),

Still that golden armor,

Still that frost-cold Kunwu blade,

Still that man charging at the forefront of the army,

Behind him was the most elite and battle-hardened combination of two iron cavalry in the entire Yan Kingdom.

Frontal charge,

Upright and honorable fighting,

For the Yan army,

Was their advantage!

The Yan people had this confidence, the Yan Kingdom's cavalry had this belief!

General Zheng had always envied Marquis Jingnan's act of charging in front, the focus of everyone's attention.

This scene should be a dream that most men had when they were young.

However, not every commander was Tian Wujing. Tian Wujing dared to do this because he was a powerful warrior who could win a duel against the Sword Saint with his own strength.

If all commanders were to learn from Tian Wujing in this way, and the commander was directly beheaded in a charge, that would be a different story.

At this moment,

More than eighty thousand cavalry, led by Marquis Jingnan, began to gallop eastward.

Everyone's horse speed was maintained at a certain frequency. Rather than saying they were rushing to the battlefield, it was more like they were warming up.

A powerful army was enthusiastic before the battle, while a terrifying army was extremely calm before the battle, like this army behind Tian Wujing.

When the figures of the wildmen army in front became clearer and clearer,

Marquis Jingnan's blade began to fall.

The Kunwu waved to the north,

The leftmost ten thousand cavalry directly broke away from the main army and began to accelerate towards the north for a flanking maneuver.

The Kunwu waved to the south,

The rightmost ten thousand cavalry also broke away from the main army and accelerated towards the south for a flanking maneuver.

Each time the Kunwu fell,

A ten thousand cavalry detachment broke away from the main army and began to enter their main attack direction.

When Zheng Fan followed Li Fusheng south to the Qian Kingdom and encountered a Qian Kingdom army, Li Fusheng himself picked up his horse lance and went to play in the Assault Camp, completely ignoring the command of the troops.

Because what he led was the Zhenbei Army, a powerful army that could chase the barbarians in the desert. Every guerrilla general and every adjutant general under the commander knew what to do after the war began, and what position they should be in.

Most importantly, they were not afraid of death. Not everyone regarded death as home, but they knew a principle: on the battlefield, sometimes it was necessary to take the initiative to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the overall situation!

In fact, the most important reason for the decline of the desert barbarians was that when the Barbarian King's lineage conquered the west, the Golden Family and its direct lineage were almost wiped out, causing the desert barbarians to fall into a state of headless dragons.

The barbarians were not bad at fighting, nor had their archery and horsemanship deteriorated, otherwise General Zheng wouldn't have liked absorbing barbarian soldiers for his own use so much.

Their essence was the loss of a unified whole. Even if they gathered alliances, they still had their own thoughts, just like the newly rising wildmen now.

The reason why the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion could suppress the barbarians for a hundred years was because successive Zhenbei Marquises were the absolute masters in Beifeng County. Even the Yan emperors found it difficult to interfere, and even had to send princes every generation to grow up with the next generation of Zhenbei Marquises to build relationships.

Therefore, the 300,000 Zhenbei Army had always been a whole, even if divided into six garrisons, they knew that their family was a military group and a vassal.

Of course, there were also drawbacks to doing so. For example, when the Yan Emperor and the Zhenbei Marquis were acting, the Zhenbei Army really thought about directly attacking Yanjing to let their Marquis ascend the throne.

The central army was constantly being detached. More than 80,000 iron cavalry were divided into nine groups in the process of accelerating.

Who was the central army?

There was no need to care about it anymore.

Who was the main attack?

There was no need to distinguish it either. Every group was the main force, and every group was the main attack.

Back then, when General Zheng was still a military novice, his concept of cavalry warfare was still stuck in the war scenes in movies and TV series. The two sides' cavalry were spread out, and then the camera cut to a long shot, starting the charge.

Later, General Zheng understood that that was just for the sake of beautiful war scenes. In reality, any cavalry general with a normal brain wouldn't use this method to command cavalry.

And the battlefield area was only so large. If everyone rushed forward in a swarm, it was easy to see the ridiculous scene where the front was blocked and fighting, and a large group of people behind couldn't move forward and could only watch the show from behind.

After dividing the cavalry under his command into nine groups, it was equivalent to releasing nine incomparably sharp steel knives, the purpose of which was to complete multi-way cutting and decomposition of the wildmen's main force in front.

The art of war,

Needed generals and soldiers to complete together.

Excellent generals combined with the most elite knights could form a truly terrifying combat force!

Here,

One was the Yan Kingdom's recognized military god,

The other was the Yan Kingdom's most elite two iron cavalry,

At this time, they

Had their energy, spirit, and spirit elevated to the peak,

Facing the wildmen in front,

Revealing their fangs!

Li Fusheng shouted:

"Assault Camp's ambition!"

The ten thousand cavalry behind him shouted in unison:

"Live or die!"

...

The wildmen army crossed the river very smoothly.

Next,

The reactions of the Yan army and the Cheng Kingdom army were all within the wildmen king's expectations.

However, this smoothness made the wildmen king feel a little uneasy, because it was really too smooth.

Although he was taking a risky move,

He instinctively felt that

The Yan Kingdom's Southern Marquis shouldn't be so useless. After all, the Yan Kingdom's elite had crossed the river, so there should be some preparations in the rear.

Fortunately,

When the scouts reported that a large-scale Yan army cavalry was approaching in front,

The wildmen king breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That was more like it. It was impossible for that Southern Marquis to do nothing these days. He had to tidy up his family and make a show for outsiders.

Just like this time, the Yan army and the Cheng Kingdom army's agility in dealing with his army crossing the river was indeed much better than the Yan Kingdom's Left Route Army on the Wangjiang River last time.

But,

That was all.

"Warriors of the holy race, wave your sabers, let out your roars, let them see who is the true king of this land!"

The wildmen king tried his best to boost morale. In fact, with so many troops crossing the river together, he himself was like a drop of water in the ocean. It was basically impossible to coordinate the overall situation, but he was just thinking about instilling a little killing intent into the warriors around him.

He believed that his generals and those tribal leaders knew very well that this was a real military adventure. From the moment they crossed the river, there was no retreat other than forward, forward, and forward again, crushing the Yan army's forts.

The wildmen king wasn't worried that these chieftains and generals would conserve their strength at this time. They might be a little satisfied, they might be a little slack, and some couldn't wait to return to the snow plain tents to enjoy the spoils of the raid.

But they were not fools. They knew what they should do at this time.

The morale of the army,

The morale,

Was not a problem.

The only flaw was that his orders were too hasty. In order to bind those chieftains to his army, he himself almost forced them in a coercive manner, leaving them no extra time to think and accompany him on this military adventure.

The too-fast river crossing speed caused no small amount of chaos. And after the wildmen warriors who crossed the river in three routes gathered together, many chieftains who originally had three thousand warriors under their command only gathered less than two thousand, and there was a certain amount of mixing between the various tribes.

It was equivalent to the establishment of chaos;

But in the wildmen king's view, this was just a small flaw. He originally wanted to gather and sort out the troops slightly after crossing the river, but the Yan army quickly gathered several troops and rushed over, which was equivalent to not giving him the opportunity to sort them out calmly.

But,

What was that?

Tear them apart,

Defeat them,

Kill them,

All the wildmen warriors were moving forward, all were charging. Under this momentum, the wildmen king believed that neither the Cheng Kingdom's army nor the Yan Kingdom's local army nor the imperial guards could bear the roar of these more than 100,000 wildmen iron hooves!

Sang Hu had been accompanying the king, and his troops were the direct descendants, the strongest in equipment and combat power in the entire wildmen army, and also the most loyal to the wildmen king.

However, after the latest news was brought back by the vanguard, the calm expression on Sang Hu's face suddenly changed.

He immediately rode his horse towards the wildmen king's banner,

Shouting:

"King, the Yan army ahead is dividing into nine routes!"

The wildmen king bit his lip hard upon hearing this, and blood immediately flowed from his lips.

Back then, in order to learn the Yan people's way of war, the wildmen king had taken two of his most loyal subordinates and didn't hesitate to become auxiliary soldiers in Beifeng County for many years.

In returning to the snowy plains to integrate his own power and in the subsequent war against the Sima family, no one would doubt the wildmen king's command wisdom.

Even the last Battle of Wangjiang was achieved with such great results under the wildmen king's command arrangements.

Therefore, the wildmen king knew how to fight. After hearing Sang Hu's report of this news, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

The reason why a rabble was called a rabble was because they only emphasized temporary courage in fighting, which was the same as street gangsters fighting.

In the past, when the Qian Kingdom's border army had serious embezzlement, a general's establishment of 3,000 people would first embezzle the salaries of 1,000 people, focusing only on raising 500 retainers, and then drag along 1,500 commoners who were neither commoners nor auxiliary soldiers.

When actually fighting, the retainers would rush to the front, followed by the people making up the numbers. Nothing could be seen in a smooth battle, but once a headwind battle broke out, it would often lead to a collapse like a mountain.

The reason why Li Bao and Li Fusheng's two troops could directly reach the capital was because the Qian Kingdom's army generally had this problem. First, a charge would knock out your most elite part, and then you could collect heads all over the mountains and plains.

Although it was inappropriate to call the Cheng Kingdom army and the Yan Kingdom's local army and imperial guards a rabble, these mixed troops dared to actively gather together in an attempt to resist in the face of his sudden appearance of more than 100,000 cavalry, which was already very remarkable. But they even dared to gather their troops and then divide into multiple routes and spread out...

There were two possibilities:

One was that the opposing commander was an idiot;

Of course, although the wildmen king didn't know whether Marquis Jingnan was in Jiangdong or Jiangxi,

He wouldn't naively think that the Yan commander left behind would be an idiot.

Then only the other possibility remained,

And that was that they had the confidence to do so, the confidence to do so, and the courage to do so!

This couldn't help but remind the wildmen king of when he was in Beifeng County and saw how the Zhenbei Army at that time fought against the barbarians.

"Wuwuwu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Wuwuwu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The shouts rose and fell, because the wildmen knights had already seen the Yan army charging towards them in the distance. They were excited and couldn't wait to defeat them.

The wildmen king felt very heavy in his heart, and the knife in his hand couldn't help but hang down. He thought of a possibility, a very absurd possibility.

However, at this time, regardless of whether this possibility was true or not, regardless of which army the Yan army in front was, it was already too late to order the entire army to stop charging or retreat.

Giving such an order would be tantamount to sitting and waiting for the opponent to attack, and not far behind was the Wangjiang River!

There was no retreat, only forward!

Even if that possibility was true, who knew who would win or lose in a head-on fight!

After a while,

The wildmen king roared:

"The stars protect us, kill!"

In this battle,

If I win,

I will become a true believer in the stars.

...

Under the walls of Jade Plate City, three Chu armies had been in formation for quite a while, but the surrounding Yan army was just calmly responding, with three troops corresponding to the three city gates.

But,

This was the most bizarre thing.

On the city tower, with the passage of time, Qu Tiannan no longer had the same high spirits as before. As the pillar of the Chu Kingdom, the representative of the Qu family, and entrusted with the important task of leading the army here, he was definitely not a person with a false reputation.

It was fine if the Yan army didn't attack,

But when the wildmen army in the upper reaches had already crossed the river to the west, the Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army here were just standing here, doing nothing, and not a single troop wanted to go back to help.

Everyone was just staring at each other, looking at each other, unusually quiet.

The swordsmith was still standing next to Qu Tiannan. He would look at the military formations of both sides under the city tower for a while, and then look at Qu Tiannan's expression for a while.

After a long time,

Qu Tiannan smiled,

Reaching out and tapping the battlement,

He sighed:

"Good, Marquis Jingnan, good, Tian Wujing!"

"Your Excellency, is there a problem?" the swordsmith asked.

"Sir, you can see it too, right?"

The swordsmith shook his head and said, "No, but I often play chess. When I lose, I have to compliment my opponent first, so that I don't lose so badly."

"Sir, are you mocking me?"

"I dare not, I dare not."

"Sir, you are right, but this game is not set for me, but for the wildmen. Sir, look at the Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army below, these elite of the Yan Kingdom.

When they attacked the city yesterday, I was still surprised. That Southern Marquis was really willing to let these elite iron cavalry dismount and attack the city.

Now,

I understand.

Letting them dismount to attack the city, even if there are some casualties, anyway, the fact that the Yan people are not good at attacking cities is known all over the world. No matter what the result is, it is only right."

"That's why, one can't see their true identities."

"So that's it, thank you, Your Excellency, for your explanation. I understand, like a precious sword hidden in a gorgeous scabbard."

The precious sword hidden in the gorgeous scabbard may be a famous sword, or it may be a rusty, chipped sword.

"Therefore, the Yan army below, knowing that the wildmen army has already crossed the river from the upper reaches, still chooses to stand still, because they know who is waiting for the wildmen on the other side of the river."

"In this case, the wildmen are doomed to lose?"

"Not necessarily. In the end, the matter of war and battle depends on momentum. In a head-on collision, the wildmen don't have a chance to win."

The swordsmith laughed,

Saying:

"If a head-on fight can win, why would we have to confront each other for so long, why would my Chu army have to guard this Jade Plate City for them?"

Wasn't it because a head-on attack was likely to be no match for the Yan iron cavalry?

Qu Tiannan was speechless for a moment.

The swordsmith turned and walked down the city wall.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"To find the Eighth Prince, take care, Your Excellency."

"Sir, you are planning to..."

"Yes, slip away."

The swordsmith answered very bluntly, and at the same time said:

"Please, Your Excellency, hold Jade Plate City and cover our retreat."

Obviously, this was a very shameless and unjust statement, but the swordsmith said it as a matter of course.

Because he understood that

If the main force of the wildmen on the other side of the river was defeated,

Then the Yan army could drive straight in, and in an instant, this Jade Plate City could be trapped into an isolated city.

Without the wildmen's containment on the periphery, the Yan people didn't even need to attack the city, they could just besiege it.

Even if,

They besieged until the spring,

Until the river water thawed,

Then,

Even if the Chu navy came, it would be useless.

And he couldn't directly choose to abandon the city and retreat at this time,

Because the Yan army outside the city, even if it wasn't the elite of the Jingnan Army and Zhenbei Army, was still the foundation of the Yan Kingdom's cavalry and the Three Jin knights.

His Qingluan Army was mainly infantry,

Did he want to retreat safely in front of so many cavalry?

That was truly a dream.

Now,

The only hope,

Was the wildmen's side. Not to say that they could defeat the Yan people, but at least, they had to maintain a draw, only in this way would Jade Plate City not fall into the most dangerous and embarrassing situation.

"These beasts, don't be so easily defeated."

...

At this moment,

On the west bank of the Wangjiang River, the Yan army and the wildmen main force had collided.

First, two Yan armies directly crashed into the wave of the wildmen army. With a determined attitude, disregarding casualties, they forcibly stopped the momentum of the entire wildmen army.

Immediately, other Yan armies began to cut into the wildmen in the momentum.

The battlefield situation was instantly cut into a mess. The wildmen's already chaotic establishment completely collapsed because of the insertion of these nine troops.

If the wildmen warriors initially held a kind of curiosity and contempt for the Yan army that took the initiative to meet them, then gradually, more and more wildmen began to discover that there was a problem with the Yan people they were facing!

In the era of cold weapons, weapons and equipment were certainly important, but the most important thing was still people.

Their orderliness, their coordination, their piercing, piercing, and piercing again made the wildmen facing them feel helpless.

In the fight, the wildmen found that their bravery could not match a Yan soldier's saber directly slashing at your vitals;

Your fearlessness could not stop a Yan soldier from piercing your neck with an arrow on horseback.

Comparing morale?

Who was afraid of whom?

For the Zhenbei Army, the disastrous defeat in the last Battle of Wangjiang, although the Left Route Army suffered the greatest losses, the Zhenbei Army also lost a commander, and thousands of comrades died under Jade Plate City.

This revenge could not go unpunished.

For the Jingnan Army, their Marquis was leading everyone to charge at this time, so they couldn't embarrass their Marquis. No matter what, their performance must not be worse than the Zhenbei Army.

For the wildmen generals and chieftains, they didn't feel anything when the two armies first collided. No matter what, to win, they had to go through a fight. After all, the Yan people were not made of mud.

But after the fighting had stalled for a while, these generals were also stunned.

The wildmen had completely become a state of fighting on their own. The generals and chieftains could only command a few hundred people around them, but they could see Yan cavalry shuttling in all directions.

A person could only see so far on a flat battlefield. After all, there was no one in this world who could truly have God's perspective.

They didn't know what the overall situation was like. They only felt that there were so many Yan people around them.

Front, back, left, and right, there were Yan people everywhere.

After this chaotic scene continued, it caused the wildmen's various tribes to constantly deviate from their original direction, because losing the command system was equivalent to losing their sense of direction.

It was like a clenched fist, the five fingers slowly spreading out.

The Yan army's sharp cutting was simply unbearable for the wildmen. After all, this was not a collision of thousands of cavalry. The two sides had invested more than 200,000 troops. Even if some wildmen generals led their troops very bravely and the effect was very good, they could not prevent its collapse in the overall situation.

Unlike the wildmen's chaos, the Yan army quickly turned around after completing the first round of cutting and penetration, selected the next point, and continued to tunnel.

This should have been the method used by cavalry against infantry phalanxes, but at this time, it was used to deal with the wildmen's cavalry.

Back then,

The wildmen army had taken advantage of the mixed composition of the Yan Kingdom's Left Route Army and the inconvenience of responding to complete the impact on the Left Route Army on the Wangjiang River;

Now,

The Yan Kingdom's true elite, led by Marquis Jingnan, was returning the favor.

Comparing quality?

Comparing military discipline?

Comparing literacy?

Comparing experience?

Comparing cooperation?

Come,

Compare!

These two armies had crushed the pride of the Three Jin knights when facing enemies twice their number, traveling thousands of miles in ten days!

You wildmen,

What are you?

When the Jin Kingdom was still around,

How badly were you bullied by the Jin cavalry? Didn't you have any sense in your heart?

This was a kind of contempt from the bottom of the heart, but they had actually lost to them once last time, so this frustration could be said to be accumulated a hundred times over.

At this time, it was finally possible to release it!

After the second penetration, there was the third penetration; after the third penetration, there was the fourth penetration, after the fourth penetration, there was the fifth penetration...

The armor was not as good as before, but the toughness and pride in the bones had not changed in the slightest.

After this repeated and continuous tunneling, the wildmen army had been divided into thousands of holes. Finally, after this prolonged period of confusion and chaos, it triggered a rout.

It was not that they didn't want to fight, nor that they didn't dare to fight, but this situation made people see no hope. Once there was no hope, people would become muddled. After people around them began to flee, the rest could only choose to follow and flee together, even if they didn't intend to run away.

The wildmen's high command, which had lost its establishment and lost its command system, was helpless in this situation. Even more, a tribal chief appeared, carrying his own banner, and began to actively flee to the east.

The reason for running away while carrying the banner was to gather as many warriors from his tribe as possible, but this was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the situation completely collapsed!

The wildmen king was already muddled. When the Yan army began to repeatedly tunnel through the wildmen army formation, he already understood that the Yan army in front of him was definitely not a rabble composed of the Cheng Kingdom army, the local army, and the imperial guards. He had seen the Zhenbei Army use this tactic countless times in Beifeng County!

This was the ultimate expression of cavalry usage, and also the most powerful interpretation of cavalry tactics. It was just like a group of wolves driving a mountain of sheep all over the mountains and plains.

Gou Moli originally hoped that the warriors under his command could create a miracle, because his side clearly had more people. He even began to pray for the protection of the stars!

Only when a person was completely helpless and confused about reality would they hope to seek comfort from the ethereal.

But now, it was daytime,

And in the daytime,

You couldn't see the stars.

Sang Hu personally led more than a thousand cavalry around him to desperately protect the wildmen king. Alai also came to the wildmen king at this time. He took off his mask, revealing his face that was very similar to the wildmen king's.

The meaning was self-evident.

Back then, also in front of Marquis Jingnan's army, the wildmen king had left, letting Alai act as his substitute.

Now, it seemed to be a cycle of fate, still facing Marquis Jingnan, and actually the same scene as last time appeared.

The wildmen king blinked his eyes, and his eyes were a little moist. He didn't wait for his confidants to persuade him, nor did he act coy. After quickly taking off the white wolf skin robe on his body and giving it to Alai, he and Sang Hu began to flee east on horseback.

Collapsed,

Defeated,

It was already,

Impossible to turn the tide!

In fact, after fighting until now, the real casualties on both sides were only tens of thousands of people. Compared to the vast battlefield of more than 200,000 people, it was really nothing.

But one side's collapse had already appeared, and the subsequent battle was very simple for the victorious side.

The Yan army on all sides couldn't help but begin to charge east.

It was like a plow, even if the wildmen ran away, they had to plow them again!

Completely crush him, disperse him,

Let him have no chance to regroup his troops!

The fleeing wildmen came to the Wangjiang River. Without any hesitation, they began to go back from where they had come from.

It was just that,

Because the wildmen army crossed the river in a hurry and did not make as many preparations and precautions as the Yan army had done the night before, the ice layer had already appeared with many cracks and collapses when they had come earlier. Many wildmen warriors had fallen under the ice before they even reached the battlefield and had gone to find the embrace of the stars in advance.

This time, they were quickly crossing the river again. Because it had not yet been through the night, the damaged ice layer had not been refrozen, causing large and small ice holes to appear one after another when the wildmen were crossing the river.

Some wildmen knights fell down with their horses after being ice was broken, desperately calling for help from the wildmen passing by, but at this time, everyone was only concerned with fleeing for their lives, so how could they care about this?

Some wildmen's warhorses slipped while crossing the river, and both the man and the horse fell to the ground. The wildmen's hooves behind them directly crushed them.

When they had crossed the river earlier, it could only be said that they had pursued the efficiency of crossing the river too much, causing some confusion. At this time, they were completely chaotic in crossing the river.

After the chaos lasted for a certain period of time, large-scale cracks began to appear in the ice layer of the river. Some of the cracks were more than 20 meters long, and once the large cracks began, the cracks in other locations on the river surface immediately began to appear densely packed.

More and more wildmen fell into the cold, icy river water. Some wildmen discovered that the ice surface in front was not right and wanted to pull the reins to change to other locations on the river surface to cross the river, but they were pushed forward by other wildmen knights who were following behind who did not know the situation in front. It was useless to shout, and the people behind were squeezed together, and the horses arched each other. Wildmen were constantly squeezed into the river from the shore.

In order to prevent this from happening to themselves, some wildmen immediately waved their weapons and slashed at the clansmen who were trying to squeeze them, resulting in even greater panic.

Behind them, the Yan army's pursuit did not stop at all, and when they saw the large-scale collapse of the ice in front, all the Yan people seemed to be emitting light in their eyes.

The last time,

Tens of thousands of Yan army Left Route Army soldiers were forcibly "pushed" into the river by the wildmen, and corpses floated all over the Wangjiang River.
