This was the first time Cao Su saw such a war horse.
Each war horse is very tall, nearly two meters tall.
The horses are all dark and shiny.
The restrained horse armor protects the horse's head and forepart well.
Thousands of horses galloped forward carrying the knights.
The wasteland was filled with dust.
If you look closely, you can see that there are still black flags hanging in several places among the cavalry, with the word "Pegasus" written in gold on them. They are shaking and flying in the strong wind, as if they are coming to life.
Pegasus Army!
Three thousand Pegasus troops, the number one force in Pingcheng.
Before the war started, Pegasus Village had always been the local emperor and the leading force in Pingcheng.
Unexpectedly, after the entire Pingcheng offensive and defensive battle was silent, he chose to take action at this moment.
The Pegasus Army is indeed majestic and fierce.
Thousands of cavalrymen galloped forward, like black arrows, piercing into the wave-like army of thieves.
In an instant, many thieves and soldiers were knocked away.
Cutting through the waves, no one can stop it.
"kill!"
The Pegasus army's killing cry shook the sky, but the cavalry's momentum never diminished and they charged directly with their heads covered.
From the east side of the battlefield, they fought their way through to the west side of the battlefield.
Cut through on the spot!
Under the terrifying impact, even the sudden bursts of Qi-blood warriors could never stop the cavalry's charge.
Why did the Pegasus Army appear on the battlefield?
Reinforcements? Are they here to help the government army?
When Cao Su's soldiers saw this in the distance, they couldn't help cheering.
Is this a complete turnaround?
After the Pegasus army forcibly penetrated, the leader led the army to turn around.
In the biting wind, the Pegasus army turned around and made a large circle on the wasteland, and then attacked from the north to the south.
The rumble of horse hooves sounded like muffled thunder, and like angry waves crashing on the shore.
Thousands of troops and horses galloped forward with great momentum.
On average, there is one Qi-blood warrior in a thousand people, and it is impossible to stop the bandits.
A series of soldiers were hit with broken bones and muscles, and flew into the air.
Countless people were trampled to death.
Smoke and dust billowed, covering the sky and the sun.
.........
"Lord City Lord, it seems to be the Pegasus Army!"
Someone next to Wei Tao shouted.
"I'm not blind, I can see."
Wei Tao remained calm, with a strange look on his face.
There have been two accidents today.
It was an accident that the thieves surrounded and killed their army, and the sudden appearance of the Pegasus army was another accident.
"It's a pity that I came too late. If I had come earlier, brothers wouldn't be all..."
The sergeant of the Chinese Army felt pity.
Although the Pegasus Army came to the rescue, the government troops suffered heavy losses, and both the front and rear troops were lost.
Only a few people from the Chinese Army were left, and they were struggling to support themselves.
It's almost going to collapse.
Originally, the pro-army sergeants were preparing to retreat with Wei Tao, but the Pegasus Army came to support them.
"City Lord, this is all God's will!"
The soldiers of the government army were all cheering, cheering for their escape from death.
Cheers for the Pegasus army who came to the rescue.
Wei Tao had no choice but to go with the flow and nodded in affirmation.
.........
The Pegasus Army only rushed back and forth a few times.
The tens of thousands of bandits on the battlefield collapsed.
Started to run away in all directions.
The Pegasus army did not pursue the fleeing bandits, but stopped in front of the government army.
Comparing the two sides, the government army was particularly embarrassed.
Of the 5,000 elite soldiers who had been fought so bravely, there were now only a thousand remnant soldiers surrounding Wei Tao.
The Pegasus army stopped in front of the Fu army.
Be neat and orderly, and enforce laws and prohibitions.
A path was opened to the left and right, and the cavalry leader riding a tall black horse came out.
"Master Wei."
It was an old man with white hair, holding an iron gun and with sharp eyes.
Walking out with him were two young generals wearing black armor.
"Ji Ye."
Wei Tao also walked out of the formation.
One head lower than Ji Ye who was riding a high horse.
Ji Ye's laughter was particularly hearty and resounded throughout half of the battlefield, and all the soldiers could hear his laughter.
Judging from his laughter alone, he is a bold and bold old man.
"Master Wei, why is the way blocked by a group of thieves?"
Is this a bunch of thieves?
The mountains and plains are endless, as numerous as cow hairs.
Wei Tao showed an unhappy look and said coldly: "Ji Ye, what do you want to say?"
"Master Wei's attitude makes me feel chilled. Just now, it was my Pegasus army that sprinted with all their strength to drive away these thieves."
Ji Ye showed some dissatisfaction.
There is nothing wrong with what he said. Judging from the current situation, Wei Tao does owe everyone a favor.
What you owe others is nothing, and it's okay if you can't be tough.
"If Mr. Wei does not welcome you, we will leave immediately."
The young man in black armor next to Ji Ye spoke.
This man had a sinister face, an arrogant expression, and his words were sarcastic and sarcastic towards Wei Tao.
After Wei Tao heard this, he became furious.
He said: "Ji Ye, who of your junior generation dares to talk to me like this?"
Ji Ye whipped the young man in black armor with a riding crop.
He criticized calmly: "Bu Ming, how can I talk to your Uncle Wei?"
Ji Buming heard this and sneered.
The look of disdain is palpable.
"So this is Ji Buming, who is also known as the "Sky Eagle" in your family. There are really no rules and regulations. Why did he get the name "Sky Eagle"?" Wei Tao was also rude and started to complain immediately.
After hearing this, Ji Buming was furious.
He turned around and drew out his long knife.
But he was stopped by Ji Ye.
Ji Ye narrowed his eyes and pinched the horse's belly.
The black horse walked in front of Wei Tao with a clicking sound.
Ji Ye whispered: "Wei Tao, you are already a road patrolman, Pingcheng you have to leave after all."
"Now that the world is in chaos, why do you need to fight me in Pingcheng to the end? This is of no benefit to you or me."
"You have also seen today's situation. It was our Pegasus army who saved you and the government army in Pingcheng."
"Sooner or later, the Pegasus Army will settle in Pingcheng. This is inevitable. You can't stop it, you can only agree."
Ji Ye finished these words.
Then he picked up the rope reins and led the army to turn around and leave.
Wei Tao stood there, his face always uncertain.
The world is in chaos, and all the ambitious people have fled.
The Pegasus Army has long regarded Pingcheng as its treasure.
"Huh, Shuzi."
Wei Tao finally cursed and left the place.
He ordered the soldiers to be gathered.
In the end, only less than two thousand soldiers were gathered.
...........
The Pegasus Army retreats into the distance.
The cavalry rumbled forward on the ground.
"Dad, why didn't you kill Wei Tao?"
Ji Buming still didn't understand why Wei Tao was allowed to live.
The Ji family of Pegasus Zhuang and Wei Tao, the actual controller of Pingcheng, actually have an antagonistic relationship. Once Wei Tao dies and Pegasus Zhuang settles in Pingcheng, isn't it easy to capture them?
I originally thought that the Wanping Army could capture Pingcheng.
Then they, Pegasus Village, showed up again to clean up the mess.
Unexpectedly, the Wanping Army was so useless. They fought for several months without defeating Pingcheng. In the end, they simply took a detour to attack Jiangning Mansion.
Later, Wei Tao himself was greedy for military glory and left Pingcheng without authorization, giving Pegasus Village a chance.
This time Wei Tao was besieged by three major thieves in the wilderness, which was also their best opportunity for Pegasus Village.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ye ordered to rescue Wei Tao.
Ji Buming really doesn't understand what it means to save an enemy?
Ji Ye had a cold face, and it was difficult for him to explain to his precious son what was going on.
He emphasized the important point and said: "You think too simply."
"Wei Tao has now achieved military success and has been promoted to Jiangning Prefecture Patrolman. He will definitely leave Pingcheng in the future. The relationship between him and our Pegasus Village is no longer absolutely antagonistic."
"Nothing can happen to Wei Tao, at least nothing can happen now. With him here, Wanpingjun will not plan to ping the city again in the short term."
"If something happens to Wei Tao, Pingcheng will be in chaos, and Wanping's army will inevitably divide its troops to capture Pingcheng."
Ji Ye said with emotion: "I didn't expect Wei Tao to be so capable of defending the city. Now that Pingcheng can be stabilized, Wei Tao is indeed the first contributor, so we must save Wei Tao's life. At least for now, nothing will happen to him."
Ji Buming finally understood the reason. The key lies with Wan Pingjun.
The Wan Ping Army is now a behemoth. Even though they have lost consecutive battles in front of the imperial court, in front of powerful people like them, they are the top force.
The powerful people have accumulated strength over several generations, but it is not enough for others to pinch with one hand.
Although the Pegasus Army is very strong in field battles, it still has to rely on the government army to defend the city.
"I have entrusted someone to run the city of God. If nothing happens, I will be able to take the position of the Lord of Pingcheng after the Wanping Army retreats."
Ji Buming finally understood what Ji Ye meant.
The imperial court is still there, and the imperial court's righteousness is still there.
Over the years, Pegasus Village has annexed land, gathered powerful people, and greatly increased its strength, but it is still a nameless white body. If it wants to achieve transformation and upgrading, it must stand on the basis of the court's justice.
So no matter how hard Wei Tao tried to stop them, they could only endure it.
You don’t have to help Wei Tao, but you definitely can’t just sit back and watch Wei Tao die.
Waiting for Jiangning Mansion, the imperial court and Wanping Army will decide the winner.
They, Pegasus Village, can officially enter the game and achieve dominance.
I thought that I would be the Young City Lord of Pingcheng in the future.
Ji Buming suddenly showed a hint of excitement.
.........
Cao Su led his soldiers and returned to the army formation.
"General Wang, are you okay?"
The limping Wang Meng looked particularly miserable.
He looked at Cao Su's troops in surprise, a hundred men or a hundred men?
After a battle, there was no damage at all?
Cao Su knew from Wang Meng's look that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "The other two brothers from the Centurion lost their heads and followed me out of the encirclement."
"Did you break out of the siege?"
Wang Meng was shocked. They were all trapped in a siege. How could Cao Su lead his men out of the siege?
It’s not a counter-attack, so you shouldn’t be so excited, right?
Cao Su reorganized his words in his mind, and then said carefully: "General Wang, it was only the brothers who dared to fight..."
"Of course I know that brothers are fighting hard, but I didn't expect that you can actually fight out. I just took a look and found that unless you can break out of the siege, you will definitely fall on the battlefield when encountering siege."
Wang Meng's tone was very serious. The vanguard army was the first to encounter the enemy and the ones who died the most miserably.
Except for the centurions led by Cao Su who rushed out, all the other centurions were killed. In the end, only two hundred of Cao Su's centurions survived.
Eighty percent of the soldiers fell to the ground and never got up again.
Cao Su looked at the corpses around him and asked, "General, is it the siege organized by the Wanping Sect?"
The identity of the bandits is unknown, but covering the whereabouts of tens of thousands of people is only possible with the Taoist methods of the Wanping Sect.
The Wanping Sect can actually drive these bandits who are active in the mountains and swamps. This should be more worthy of attention.
Wang Meng did not answer Cao Su directly.
He shook his head and said: "This matter is a bit strange. Come with me to see the city lord first."
