Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Teng knew that if he was exhausted from Lin Ji like this, the imperial cavalry would definitely break through their defense line, which would be equivalent to a failure of the mission. Of course, his purpose here was not to fight with Lin Ji, but to stop the imperial cavalry for the Hu Ben Army who were trying to break through.

So Wang Teng roared angrily, and he actually abandoned the horse and jumped off the horse's back.

Just when Lin Ji was still not sure about his intention, Wang Teng grabbed the long horse rifle and swept directly at Lin Ji's war horse's huge force.

Wang Teng was extremely powerful, and at this moment it finally showed up again. Lin Ji never expected that the other party would do such a reckless and violent approach. Suddenly, Lin Ji's mount and the four legs of the war horse were swept off by Wang Teng. It could no longer bear the pressure Lin Ji brought to it and spread heavily towards the front.

Lin Ji was also dumped.

But Wang Teng did not stop there. His goal was not to stop Lin Ji alone. Soon he waved his spear and was like a whirlwind in the field, sweeping off the legs of the imperial cavalry who intended to cross his strongest defense line, the Tiger Ben Army.

For a moment, the Imperial Cavalrymen were overturned and were stopped by Wang Teng alone.

In the Lanhe Empire, an empire with extremely scarce war horses, there is an unwritten rule for the confrontation between cavalry, which is to try to avoid causing excessive damage to war horses. Acts like Wang Teng that directly use war horses as targets are intolerable to all cavalry.

Not to mention that every war horse is a huge wealth, in an era where animal power is the main reason, the value of a war horse is even much more valuable than that of a person. Even if there is any loss, it can no longer be used as a war horse as a war horse, and you can continue to cultivate and produce horses with better genes in the pastures.

The biggest difference between cavalry and infantry is the increase in combat power provided by war horses. Therefore, the relationship between knights and war horses is equivalent to the relationship between comrades. On the battlefield, the two must be inseparable to achieve the best effect of defeating the enemy. It is precisely because the relationship between knights and war horses is deep, if the enemy maliciously kills or severely damages the war horses on the battlefield, it is equivalent to a war letter to fight to the end.

This is the fuse that will completely cause the two armies to perish. During the period of the Light Empire, a prince launched a rebellion. At that time, in order to maximize the strength of the Light Empire's troops coming to suppress the rebellion, the prince ordered soldiers to give priority to the enemy's war horses to lose their combat capabilities.

This was originally a very normal strategy. After all, there was a saying that when dealing with the Hu people, it was said that they would shoot horses first. However, whether it was for the Lanhe Empire, which lacked horses or the Guangming Empire at that time, such things were equivalent to blasphemy to the cavalry.

The prince's actions were soon hostile to everyone except him. Before the subsequent rebellion suppression army of the Guangming Empire arrived, several princes adjacent to the prince's state risked the taboo of not being able to transfer orders to leave the fiefdom of the marquis state without authorization, and directly raised an army to split the rebellious prince's body and killed it.

That's right, in the era of the Light Empire, which was known as "the punishment cannot be punished" and "the nobles' decent", generally speaking, even if the princes and kings were unable to get along with the central government and wanted to play a trick that could be replaced by him, if they failed, they would be just a glass of poisonous wine, and the tribe members would be slaves forever.

The way of dying a corpse should not have occurred in the princes and kings, because it is too indecent, too unkind, too unkind, too barbaric, and too rough.

However, that time, the central empire of the Light Empire agreed to the practice of these princes and kings, and only sent envoys to verbally warn them without examples. They even gave many rewards symbolically in private. This shocking method of handling makes people wonder if the emperor of the Light Empire, who had no son for many years, suddenly gave birth to a prince. So this kind of act of privately sending troops to leave the fiefdom can be regarded as a "rebellion" and can be left unrestrained.

Of course, this is just a folk imagination, but it also reflects indirectly that the Empire of Light cherished war horses at Chengdu, but it has reached the point where everyone who dared to maliciously destroy war horses was punished.

Because war horses are national strength, and many war horses are strong. Although war horses are scarce, national strength may not be weak, there is almost no room for counterattack when facing foreign invasions.

At that time, Beidi and Beihu, no one was relying on a huge cavalry cluster to ride on the neck of the Central Empire. Even though there were more and more tactics of relying on infantry to resist cavalry under the evolution of long-term warfare, defeating cavalry with cavalry has always been the long-cherished wish of countless warriors.

This is why Zhao Fu's reputation became so fast for a while, but even if Zhao Fu pacified the Beihu, this unwritten rule of cherishing war horses was still firmly imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers from the Lanhe Empire.

Without any last resort, the soldiers of the Lanhe Empire will not treat war horses as priority.

But obviously, in Wang Teng's opinion, it is a last resort. Of course, he is not a traditional soldier, so he is not clear about this unwritten rule. He just simply thought that this would be more conducive to his combat, but he did not know that he had inadvertently committed a big taboo.

Lin Ji climbed up from the ground and confirmed that his war horse had completely lost its ability to move due to Wang Teng's sweep. Obviously, his four legs that could no longer be stretched were covered in blood and were still trembling.

Lin Ji did not immediately counterattack against Wang Teng. He took out the dagger he carried with him and cut off a strand of horse's hair from the war horse he had once driven.

"I'm sorry." Lin Ji gently stroked the head of the war horse.

The war horse stared at its black eyes, and finally left a line of tears in the eyes that gradually lost its luster.

There are always those unpreparable surprises. You thought the road was still long, but after turning the next intersection, you suddenly came to an end.

And the person who blocked him and crossed the road was Wang Teng.

At this moment, Wang Teng was still sweeping and destroying the Imperial Cavalry's horses.

How could Lin Ji not be angry?

After Lin Ji saved the strand of horsehair, he threw out the dagger and shot it in front of Wang Teng, stopping Wang Teng's destructive behavior.

"You did something wrong." Lin Ji turned around and said to Wang Teng word by word. Lin Ji's words were calm, but full of anger.

"I just want to stop you." Wang Teng explained.

"You succeed, I won't take another step forward," Lin Ji said to Wang Teng: "Unless you step over your body."

After saying that, Lin Ji carried his long sword and rushed towards Wang Teng.
