On the plain in front of the north slope, Cheng Lian was holding a silver spear and riding a maroon flaming horse, leading the way.
Later, eight hundred knights, all wearing golden battle armor and holding silver spears and scimitars, came all the way, riding like horses.
Cheng Lian raised his gun and pointed forward excitedly: "Hahaha... Brothers, Butcher Zhang is right in front. Come with me to capture this person quickly and go back to claim credit and reward."
"Hahaha, what the general said is absolutely true. The butcher of Zhuo County dared to disobey my lord. He is simply asking for his own death."
"General, my sword is already thirsty. I have long wanted to meet this famous General of the Five Tigers to see what he is capable of."
"Okay, then let's go meet this Five Tiger General and drive!!!"
Before the eight hundred knights led by Cheng Lian approached, the deafening shouts of killing had already reached Cao Ning's ears.
Cao Ning stood on the hill, looking at the billowing dust kicked up by the horses' hooves in front of him, and couldn't help but feel curious.
"It's strange how there are war horses in the spiritual realm...and these horses look a bit strange."
At this time, Zhang Fei stood up and explained: "Brother Ning, this is the war horse that Lu Bu got from who knows where.
Not only does it have extremely strong endurance, but its leather armor is stronger than steel, and ordinary swords and guns cannot damage it.
Tieniu and I have encountered them before, and it is shameful to say that we were driven everywhere.
No, they didn't know where they got the news from, and they came after me."
"So that's the case, then, these horses are really good things."
After listening to Zhang Fei's introduction, Cao Ning's eyes instantly lit up.
He had long wanted to form a highly mobile cavalry, but he had been suffering from the lack of war horses.
The most common thing in the underworld is the infantry. Even if there are strange beasts carrying giant spirit soldiers, their numbers are extremely rare, and war horses and cavalry have never even been heard of.
Unexpectedly, taking refuge in the spiritual realm this time was a blessing in disguise.
Seeing these hundreds of war horses, Cao Ning was so excited that he almost shed tears.
He immediately waved his hand: "Zhao Huaian, immediately mobilize all the troops to surround me. No one is allowed to escape.
Remember, be sure not to hurt my horse."
"Here!"
After Zhao Huaian, the general of the left army, received the order, he immediately arranged for wolf soldiers to quietly surround him from both wings.
At this time, Zhao Hai, who had been standing behind Cao Ning, asked curiously.
"Brother Ning, when did these horses become yours?"
"That must be mine!"
Cao Ning wiped the corners of his mouth and explained excitedly: "Didn't you see that people personally delivered the horses to their doorsteps?
Isn’t this mine?”
"Oh...are you planning to rob me alive?"
Zhao Hai was embarrassed, but when he thought about Cao Ning's usual style of doing things, he could understand it.
Here the three thousand wolves are quietly moving!
They look like ghosts, their bodies turning into shadows, gradually blending into the weeds and dead trees on the roadside, and you can't tell the changes around them unless you look carefully.
The eight hundred knights led by Cheng Lian were still in the middle of nowhere, and unknowingly they got into the pocket formation set up by the wolf.
"General, how come the surroundings have become so quiet? Is there a scam?"
Just when Cheng Lian's troops were advancing rapidly, the general had an ominous premonition on his side.
But Cheng Lian didn't care: "It doesn't matter, this is the spiritual realm, Zhang Fei and Li Kui only have a dozen people, what kind of trouble can they make?
Want to ambush me?
Humph, even if I lend them some courage, they wouldn't dare!"
"There's an ambush...ah!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were just a few whizzes of arrows flying, and more than a dozen people fell from their horses in the military formation.
Before Cheng Lian could react, swarms of black-armored warriors suddenly emerged from the weeds around them.
They moved very fast. As soon as the front sentinels approached, they jumped on their horses, quickly killed the soldiers in golden armor, and then immediately took over the command of the war horses.
In just a moment, half of the 800 cavalry led by Cheng Lian were lost.
"Who are you and why did you attack our army?"
Cheng Lian was shocked!
He looked at the thousands of warriors suddenly pouring out from all around, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Although he was eager to know the identity of the other party, no one from the wolf soldiers who fought hard responded to him.
The infuriated Cheng Lian immediately yelled: "Cowards, a bunch of cowards, they don't even dare to say who they are."
"General, what should we do now? We are surrounded."
"What else can we do? Send an order to the entire army to break out of the encirclement immediately. Don't get into any more entanglements with them."
Cheng Lian saw that these black-armored infantry were extremely powerful and could never face the enemy head-on.
So he quickly ordered the reversal!
But at this time, those war horses unexpectedly refused to leave.
They stayed where they were, unmoved no matter how hard the soldiers whipped them.
"Damn, how could this happen???"
The sudden situation not only made Cheng Lian embarrassed, but also Cao Ning, who had been standing on the hill watching the battle, was confused.
On the battlefield, as long as the horses were captured by the wolves, everything was normal, but those horses still controlled by Cheng Lian were unwilling to cooperate.
They stood motionless, and the soldiers could not command them at all.
"What's going on? Could it be that the war horses also learned to adapt to the wind and rebelled in the battle?" Zhao Hai looked confused.
"It doesn't look like it!"
Cao Ning frowned and shook his head!
He pointed at the war horses in front of him and analyzed: "Look at the captured war horses, each one is in higher spirits than when they first arrived, as if they were on stimulants.
Not only them, but also the war horses standing motionless on the spot, all their attention is focused on our soldiers.
It feels like they are acquaintances."
"Damn it, Brother Ning, where did you get these soldiers? Could these horses be their previous mounts?" Liu Hao suddenly interrupted.
"Previous mount?"
Cao Ning scratched his head and said doubtfully: "That's unlikely!
In the past, seizures were common on the battlefield, but I have never heard of a war horse recognizing its owner?
If you really want to recognize your master, it will only happen if these horses become spirits."
"Become a spirit? Brother Ning, I think the current situation is that they are almost as good as becoming a spirit."
Zhao Hai pointed at the helpless enemy soldiers below and said with a smile: "Brother Ning, look at those enemy soldiers, they've been spanking for a long time but it's useless, it's like scratching someone's itch.
After struggling for a long time, I can't even control a horse."
"Forget it, forget about this for now, let's wait until this battle is over."
Cao Ning took a deep breath and looked thoughtfully at the hundreds of war horses in front of him.
At this time, the battle below was coming to an end.
Cheng Lian's side became even more vulnerable after losing their horses. The cavalry turned into infantry, and the infantry was no match for the wolves.
After a while, they were almost wiped out.
Cheng Lian brandished a spear and led a team of less than a hundred people, retreating to the dead forest to resist stubbornly.
This scene was exactly seen by Zhang Fei who was standing on the hill watching the battle.
