On the grassland covered with war clouds, the three-pronged army with the banners of the crescent moon, the leopard head and the gray wolf is winding and snaking from west to east, like black ants coming out of the nest. Even though the war drums have not yet sounded and the war horses have not yet charged,
However, the footsteps of this 100,000-strong army still made the vast earth tremble.
The ground otters and red foxes that were supposed to be the most active during this season also seemed to be frightened by this terrifying formation, and they hid in the earth caves and did not dare to show their heads. The large group of ink crows that were originally foraging in the Muyun tribe's camp
, followed this army all the way, gathering more and more. The black crows representing death were hovering and neighing, as if they had a premonition of the coming bloody battle, and they even coveted those who were about to fall on the grassland.
Fresh human meat on the table.
A fast horse went against the flow of people and went straight into the main force of the Chinese army. The man on the horse was covered in blood and seemed to be seriously injured, which attracted the Shuodi warriors on both sides to look sideways. It was the vanguard of the Choluo tribe who was out to explore the road. At this time, he had just run
When he arrived in front of the general, before he could speak, he fell off his horse and lost all breath!
"The Pioneer Camp was completely wiped out?!"
Meng Dundang, who was sitting on the cart with Mu He, couldn't sit still anymore and stood up. This time he specifically asked his father-in-law to fight and selected one of the 30,000 cavalry he brought with him.
The most elite thousand-man team was formed as a bet to seize the top spot. However, what he could not accept was that Chuoluo Jinyi Cavalry, which was always known for its speed, would be killed by a group of exhausted escapees.
"They must have encountered Tiezhongshan!"
Qihehu, who refused to ride in the car and insisted on riding the horse, suddenly interjected, but his eyes showed excitement. Then he raised his whip and whipped the horse's buttocks twice, rushed straight forward onto a low mound, and then turned around.
He turned around and shouted to the two people on the cart:
"We are about to enter the mountains ahead, and there is a pass! The vanguard camp must have been ambushed there!"
Mu He also stood up from his seat and looked into the distance.
At the other end of the horizon, the cloud-shrouded Lancang Mountain has gradually revealed its true appearance. The blue-gray rocks drilled out from the yellow-brown permafrost have gradually formed a continuous tall mountain range, as if from
A screen as ferocious as a canine's tooth rose up from beneath the earth, covering most of the sky.
"From this point of view, the Pioneer Battalion is far ahead of the main force of the coalition forces by more than half a day. In such terrain, it is normal to underestimate the enemy's advance and be completely wiped out. I just don't know how many iron mountains the opponent has used, whether they intend to defend to the death, or just a feint.
gun?"
The elder twirled his beard and commented, as if the current loss was not worth mentioning. Meng Dun, who was standing aside, did not dare to refute a word. He just put his right hand on his left chest and bowed respectfully:
"Xiao Xu is willing to lead the team in person and go to the enemy's camp to find out what's going on."
Unexpectedly, Mu He did not agree, but sneered:
"No need. The opponent is trying to use a mantis as a chariot. Even if they place all three thousand iron mountains under that pass, they will only struggle for an extra hour or two before death!"
"May I ask my father-in-law if he has any clever ideas?"
"Lead the snake out of its hole and invite you into the urn!"
Mu He only said a few words, but his face was full of confidence that he had a chance to win. Seeing this, Meng Dun stopped asking any more questions, turned around and loudly ordered the three armies to hurry up.
At the same time, the Tiezhong Mountains, who had just eliminated the enemy's forward, were regrouping under the pass behind Jiang Yan, preparing for the coming more violent impact. In the previous confrontations, these heavy armored cavalry did not have any
Casualties. The victory in the first battle boosted their morale, and everyone's face showed their desire for victory.
Although only more than a thousand people were killed in this battle, the road leading to the pass was covered with corpses. The blood soaked the frozen soil under the horses' hooves and quickly condensed. Even so, the black-eyed boy
However, they did not order people to expend their energy to clean up the battlefield, but left all the broken bodies and severed limbs where they were.
It is now past the beginning of winter. The wind blowing from the tundra in the north is getting stronger and colder. It seems that the first snow on the grassland is coming soon.
The black-eyed boy led the horse and walked around in front of the pass. Even though the enemy troops had not yet arrived, he did not relax his vigilance at all. At this time, he was riding a Qingli horse wearing the same heavy armor as Tiezhongshan.
This horse was personally given to him by Yuan Ti before leaving.
Until this moment, the young man still clearly remembered the conversation he had with the old general when he was delivering the horse.
"...Although this Qingli horse is a bit old, it has been on the battlefield for a long time, is very obedient, and knows how to protect its master on the battlefield."
"But what I need is a young and strong war horse."
"Setting on a good horse may not necessarily lead to victory in the battle. But a good king should understand better that at certain times he needs to make a choice."
"What do you mean by trade-off? I don't quite understand what the old general said."
"I dare to ask Hehan, if this trip, old minister, does not achieve the results you want, do you really intend to take the princess with you and bury the Muyun tribe together on this desolate grassland?!"
"I--"
"I'm not saying anything depressing, I just want to remind Hehan that if that day really comes, you should take Tuya and get on this green horse and go as far as possible. The horse knows the way home.
…”
Until now, Jiang Yan still doesn't know what the other party means by the way home. He once worried in his heart whether Yuan Ti can really complete the mission he assigned. Every time he thinks of this, he shakes his head vigorously.
At first, it seemed like I wanted to get rid of this absurd idea from my mind.
However, he soon had no time to let his thoughts wander around. With the roar of a dysprosium arrow piercing the sky, a thin black line appeared on the horizon. Soon, the black line gradually became clearer.
——It is a huge army intertwined with countless people and horses, and it is the most terrifying force in the entire Shuobei grassland at the moment!
Jiang Yan raised Xiao Tianmo in his hand and shouted loudly: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Tiezhong Mountain is worthy of being the first heavy cavalry in Shuobei. Even in front of the strict military discipline of Guanning soldiers and Qingyao cavalry, the majestic array is not inferior in the slightest. The three thousand iron mountains are divided into five hundred cavalry, making it easy to go down the pass in the blink of an eye.
Two front arrow formations in the shape of a vertical axis came out, one in front of the other and one in the back.
But even so, the black-eyed boy could see in the eyes of the riders, the sense of oppression coming from a hundred thousand enemy soldiers, and the involuntary fear that arose in each other's hearts.
As if he had seen too many deaths on the battlefield, Qingli took a few steps back timidly, unwilling to step on the solidified blood on the ground. The young man raised his hand and patted the mount's neck to signal it not to be nervous.
Now, no matter how worried you are about the coming war, and no matter what the odds of victory, you can no longer retreat easily. Before Tuya led his troops to successfully hide in Garhai City, even if he fought to the last man, he and those behind him
Tiezhongshan must hold on here!
Jiang Yan tightened his grip on the reins, led his horse and galloped past the neatly lined up cavalry:
"Now, you should all know me. At this moment, there may still be people who are unconvinced, thinking that I am a foreigner, and even want to kill me with a knife to avenge Chinna, right?"
None of the heavy armored cavalry expected that this dark-eyed southern boy would actually say what they had been thinking but dared not say out loud before the battle. They turned to look at their comrades beside each other, expressions on their faces.
Puzzled, some even straightforward people nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yan saw all this, but didn't care about the performance of the knights. The conversation suddenly changed:
"Yes, I am a southerner. I also personally killed Hehanqina, the predecessor of the Muyun tribe, and married the princess Tuya. But because of this, my fate, as well as that of all the gentlemen present, is the same.
The entire Muyun Department is firmly tied together! Today, we are not sworn enemies of the Southerners and Di people, but comrades fighting bloody battles! Today, we are not even life-or-death enemies, but we share life and death.
Fellow tribesmen! The long swords in our hands are the only hope for the tens of thousands of tribesmen behind us to reach the city of Garhai. And our bodies are the only barrier to the 100,000 troops in front! We can endure it in our own homes.
Have your female family members been insulted and defiled?!"
"Can't bear it!"
"Can we endure the fact that our own bloodline is shackled and will be slaves forever?!"
"Can't bear it!"
"Then please remember that today's battle is not for me, a southerner, Hehan, nor for Princess Tuya, but for the entire Muyun tribe, and for all the people we cherish! Tie Chongshan
,charge!"
Encouraged by General Yan, the three thousand cavalry erupted with a loud war roar like the roar of thousands of people. Under the spur of the knights on their backs, the war horses took off and galloped across the grassland. But there was no confusion in the eyes of the soldiers.
He no longer had any doubts, he just rushed forward with his flesh and blood towards the enemy formation ahead that could swallow up almost everything.
And the one at the front of the team was the young man riding Qingli!
White mist sprayed out from the horse's nose, and the dust rising under the horse's hooves also covered the sky. The bright scimitars in the hands of the warriors reflected the murderous anger in their eyes!
The 100,000-strong army led by Mu He had just stood still, and before they had time to form their formation, they saw three thousand cavalry coming towards them like the north wind sweeping the ground. They couldn't help but panic. In addition, they were so large that they were huddled together for a while.
, there are no orders at all.
The two armies met, and blood splattered everywhere. Tie Zhongshan broke into the enemy's formation in one fell swoop, and unexpectedly gained some advantage. Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this, and immediately whipped the horse's buttocks a few times, and then slashed again with the black-gold Mo Dao in his hand.
Turned over a piece.
"Continue to advance!"
Tiezhongshan's armor was so hard that even if he slashed it with the sharpest blade, he could only make a shallow mark. After killing one round in the enemy formation, only a few people in the heavy cavalry team were knocked off their horses. This made
The young Hehan's confidence suddenly increased, and he did not order a retreat, but planned to take advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing to attack the enemy's central army. His target was pointed directly at the handsome man sitting in front of him, who was already in sight.
Mu Hyuk on the flag cart!
On the other side, Qihexuan and Mengdun saw that Tiechhong Mountain was approaching in an instant, and they immediately asked Muhe to fight. At this moment, they were still secretly competing with each other. Seeing that the front army formation was scattered, they both wanted to take this opportunity.
Show your strength.
Mu He, who was on top of the cart, was in no hurry: "No one is allowed to move without permission. Give me the order and order the crossbowmen to launch three rounds of volleys!"
"Solley? There are still our own warriors ahead!"
Meng Dun obviously couldn't understand this act of shooting arrows at his own people, but before he could say anything more, Qihexu had already passed on the order without hesitation!
There was just a sound of bowstrings, and arrows rising like dark clouds fell from the rear of the army towards the stalemate battlefield. The heavy armor worn by Tie Zhongshan would not be damaged at all under this level of attack, and
The warriors of Chuoluo and Onma, who were turning their spearheads and preparing to continue the fight, were hit by the arrows released by their own people, and fell to the ground wailing.
Jiang Yan didn't expect that the opponent would make such a move, and was stunned for a moment. He couldn't figure out what Mu He wanted to gain by using this strategy that cost him more than a thousand dollars but failed to hurt the enemy at all.
What kind of results.
For a time, there was not even a single enemy soldier left around Tiechhong Mountain. The cavalry lost their target for a while and stopped on the spot. However, Jiang Yan vaguely realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered to continue the attack:
"Don't stop! We can't stop here!"
However, the order came a step too late.
There was a hissing sound coming from nowhere, and Qingli under Xinhan's crotch suddenly pricked up his ears nervously, as if seeing a poisonous snake, and snorted restlessly. Then, fire filled the air, and there were loud noises.
It was like thunder from the sky falling on the ground, and the corpses that had been hit by arrows all exploded without warning at the feet of the heavy armored cavalry!
Jiang Yan never imagined that all the arrows that had been shot before had been tampered with in advance. And the hissing sound was the prelude to the fire being triggered like lightning and thunder!
The young man suddenly felt as if he had turned into a flea that accidentally landed on the war drum, and he couldn't help but get up. As the corpses exploded, the ground at the foot of Tiezhong Mountain began to tremble violently, and the ground beneath his crotch began to tremble violently.
The mount even refused to obey its master's command.
Finally, the gravel splashed by the explosion injured the armored war horse. The horse stood up in shock and knocked the rider on its back to the ground. The loud noise also drowned out Jiang Yan's hysterical roar. In a blink of an eye,
In an instant, the three thousand armored soldiers lost their command. The formation that was originally inserted into the enemy formation like sharp arrows suddenly turned into a pile of scattered sand, and they started fighting on their own.
"Have you all seen it? This is the sharp weapon that the master gave me. Today I will test my skill, and I will use it to attack the city the next day. The capture of Garhai will be just around the corner!"
Muhe, who was standing on the cart, chuckled, admiring the scene that happened in front of him. His plan succeeded, and in the blink of an eye, the situation on the field had undergone a huge reversal. And between Qihexu and Mengdun
Under his command, tens of thousands of troops on both sides of the military formation surged like a tide, surrounding Jiang Yan and Tiezhong Mountain!
