The Royal Elite Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was Mo Li's strongest division. If they could destroy these people, it would be equivalent to severely damaging Mo Li's arm. Naturally, Gong Ao would not let go of such an opportunity.
The city gate opened and tens of thousands of cavalry rushed out in order.
Under Gong Ao's order, the priests and deacons of the temple immediately took action again and rushed towards the cavalry. With them taking the lead, the temple cavalry's morale also greatly increased. They stamped their horses and raised their hooves, shouting like thunder, and rushed over to stop Daming.
The sergeant's way.
Cangshan Xue rode on Xuefeng's back and fired her bow again.
The string moved, and the silver light blade came out of the string.
At the same time, the snow phoenix flapped its wings rapidly, and countless ice arrows followed the light blade.
The blade passed by, the horse neighed, and the ice arrows were like rain.
One man, one bow and one phoenix forcefully opened a gap in the encirclement, and led the Ming cavalry to rush out of Qin City.
"Direction northwest!"
Nangong Xiao galloped forward while shouting orders.
Soon, the order came out and the army fled towards the northwest.
To the northwest of Qin City is another city controlled by the Ming Army - Chuzhou City. It was there before. Mingyue defeated Qin Qiong, the head of the Qin family, and completely rewritten the history of Xia Kingdom.
Nangong Xiao's choice to escape to Chuzhou City was naturally not a blind choice.
Firstly, the terrain of Chuzhou City is higher and far away from the canal, which can effectively prevent the enemy from chasing by water. Secondly, because of Mingyue's performance in Chuzhou City, it has won the hearts of the people. In Chuzhou City, the Ming army is very prestigious.
.
The time, place, and people are favorable, and Chuzhou City occupies both, so it is naturally the best place for the Ming army to retreat.
The army was heavily cavalry, all riding wildebeests. They were much faster than ordinary horses. Although half of the soldiers carried an infantryman on their horses, their speed was still faster than the cavalry of the temple.
Coupled with the obstruction of Cangshan Xue and Xuefeng, the distance between the two sides quickly widened.
"Don't chase the poor enemy, withdraw your troops!"
On the sacred chariot, Gong Ao glanced at Qin Cheng not far away and raised his hand to give an order.
Immediately, the gong sounded to withdraw the troops.
After the order was passed, the temple cavalry turned back to Qin City. Led by Gong Ao, they filed into the city through the opened city gate.
Gong Ao sat on the magnificent chariot, staring at this long-lost city, with a faint sneer on his lips.
It wasn't that he didn't want to chase the Ming army, he just didn't want to hand over the city to Xia Shijue so easily.
For Gong Ao, he couldn't trust anyone except himself. Xia Shijue was just an important chess piece in his chess game, so naturally he was not among those he trusted.
At the other end of the road, there were footsteps approaching.
The army was vast, and the leader, sitting proudly on a tall horse, wearing plain robes and golden battle armor, was Xia Shijue, the king of Xia, known as the King of the South Sea.
Xia Shijue naturally understands the situation of the city gate.
He did not immediately order the army to rush to the city gate to support, but let his people occupy the city first. He also did not want to owe the temple too many favors.
Just like Gong Ao didn't trust him, Xia Shijue also didn't have much favorable impression of the temple. It was only driven by profit that made these two treacherous foxes work together.
Xia Shijue raised his palms to signal the army to stop, turned over and dismounted, and smiled at Gong Ao on the chariot, "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work!"
Gong Ao stepped on the shoulders of the priest, got off the chariot, and walked in front of Xia Shijue with a smile, "Killing heretics is a matter within the scope of my temple. Your Majesty is serious!"
Xia Shijue raised his right hand and said, "The banquet has been prepared in the palace. Please, Your Holiness!"
