Zhang Yi rode Jueying and galloped up the steep slope towards the mountain, kicking up a puff of dust. Xiao Han followed closely behind on horseback.
In spring, both sides of the mountain road are covered with large tracts of yellow wildflowers. It was originally a great time to enjoy the mountains and scenery, but it encountered the most dangerous war in history.
Half an hour later, the two of them ran to the cliff where Luo Manzi had been ambushed. The scene became desolate, with large groups of crows flying in the air, flapping their wings in panic.
Zhang Yi saw hundreds of warriors carrying stones and building protective walls on the narrow mountain road, leaving only a narrow gap for one person and one horse to pass through.
"The foster brother is here!" "The foster brother is here!"
The warriors shouted excitedly when they saw Zhang Yi.
"Brother Xiao is here too!" "Brother Yi and Brother Xiao are here to support!"
The warriors cheered, jumped up and waved their arms to the two men.
Zhang Yi waved to the warriors. To his relief, the Niu Ben brothers carried out their prior arrangements and sent people to set up a defense line at the narrow mountain pass.
The stone wall is three meters high, completely blocking the impact of the enemy's cavalry. Three stone walls were built in front and back, turning the 100-meter-long mountain road into an insurmountable barrier. On the right is the 100-foot cliff. This place is the center of Songjiazhai. People call it Tiger's Mouth.
On the cliff tens of meters high on the left, there are also many stones and wood piled up, and more than a hundred warriors are guarding them.
"Report to Brother Yi, Brother Niu is fighting at the front to buy us time!"
Without waiting for Zhang Yi to ask, a squadron leader quickly ran to the horse and reported to him.
"I understand, let brothers prepare for battle."
After Zhang Yi said that, he and Xiao Han went through the defense line to find Niu Ben. The two of them were even more anxious. The Iron Tiger Regiment was ambushing at the foot of the mountain, and the warriors of Songjiazhai were fortified on the mountain road, so Niu Ben didn't have many people around him!
This reckless brother wouldn't fight the enemy alone, would he?
…
Zhang Yi urged Jueying to run forward desperately, because he was worried about Niuben's safety.
Xiao Han followed closely behind. He was also worried. The brothers depended on each other for life and death, and he was afraid that something might happen to Niu Ben.
The enemy's drums and trumpets became louder and louder, sounding earth-shattering. Ten minutes later, over the top of the mountain, Zhang Yi saw a thrilling scene!
Countless flags were flying, including the sun, moon and star flags, and even more wolf flags. Yes, the military flag of the Kingdom of China was the Wolf Cavalry, and this army was called the Northwest Wolf Army.
Zhang Yi saw densely packed cavalry, numbering in the tens of thousands. They carried curved bows, held spears, and wore leather or metal armor. They possessed extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The neighing of the war horses filled the sky, the sound of horse hooves on the ground was like thunder, the weapons flashed with cold light, and the earth trembled under the iron hooves.
Shocking!
The even more shocking scene is that Niu Ben is really fighting the enemy single-handedly!
He is wearing armor, and his horse is also fully armored, just like a steel chariot. His iron fist in his left hand serves as a shield, and he holds a thick iron halberd in his right hand. He retreats and strikes at the same time. He is extremely brave!
If the mountain road hadn't been so narrow, the Northwest Wolf Army would have surrounded him long ago.
Many arrows were shot at him, hitting the armor and falling one after another, but the sharp arrows kept piercing the armor, and it looked like Niu Ben was about to turn into a hedgehog. Fortunately, his body was not hurt, and he fought bravely to kill the enemy with his halberd. The flying force was so powerful that enemies approaching him were constantly knocked off their horses.
Ah, Zhang Yi was so angry at this brother!
The most important thing is to worry about how he can take risks and challenge tens of thousands of wolf cavalry alone?
"Daniu, here I come!"
Zhang Yi roared, clamped the horse with both legs, and rushed forward like an arrow.
Xiao Han was also drunk at this moment. In his opinion, although Brother Niu took risks, he was actually very smart. He used the terrain to hinder the enemy, fought while retreating, and tried to buy time for the warriors in the rear. Brother Yi was worried about his brother and was angry. Bloodied, regardless of his status as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, he charged at the enemy bravely and fearlessly.
If he falls, his morale will collapse and everything will be over.
Without saying a word, Xiao Han drew out his rapier and chased after him. No matter what, he had to protect the two brothers.
The wolf cavalry were a little depressed. They wanted to surround Niubeng from both sides, but except for a mountain road, both sides were rugged and rocky. The horses could not run at all. Even with thousands of troops, there was no place to show off.
At this time, I saw another black lightning rushing down the mountain. Oh, no, it was a warrior wearing black armor and holding an iron rod. The armored war horse under his crotch was also black, rushing down with the unstoppable power of wind and thunder.
There was another knight on a white horse wearing thin armor, holding a dark long sword, following behind the black warrior.
Are they all dying?
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yi rushed to Niu Ben's side and knocked down a general who was about to chop Niu Ben with his sword, including his man and his horse, making a heavy roar.
"Hiss... Xiaoxiao..."
Jueying raised its front hooves and roared angrily. The neighing sound was high-pitched, loud and sharp, even overpowering the sound of drums and trumpets, causing the horses to tremble and the hearts of the wolf cavalry to tremble.
Zhang Yi picked up the panlong stick and struck, swinging left and right, as brave as a tiger.
The same goes for Xiao Han. The thin sword in his hand is unstoppable, cutting off the enemy's weapons and piercing the enemy's throat with incomparable accuracy.
"Yi Ge! Xiaohan!"
Niu Ben shouted. He saw Zhang Yi and Xiao Han coming to the rescue. He was as happy as in a dream. But he immediately found that there were only two brothers, and he knew that the situation was not good and that all the brothers were in danger.
Moved, surprised and anxious mixed together, Niu Ben broke out bloody.
"Ouch——"
He roared like a wild beast, and everyone around him was frightened.
Possessed by the God of Death, Niu Ben rushed towards the enemy formation regardless of the situation, fighting in a sea of guns and knives, trying to carve out a bloody path.
He rushed forward, and Zhang Yi and Xiao Han had to keep up. The three brothers were so powerful that they charged and killed among tens of thousands of wolf cavalry, as if they were entering an uninhabited land.
The sounds of horses clashing, weapons striking, and knights screaming rang out, frightening the enemy.
But Zhang Yi and Xiao Han were extremely sober. They knew that the enemy had been stunned by the sudden attack. Once they reacted, a heavy encirclement formed, making it difficult for the three brothers to escape.
"Daniu, wake up, go back and kill!" Zhang Yi shouted.
"Brother Niu, you are killing in the wrong direction!" Xiao Han reminded.
"What?" Although Niu Ben was killing like crazy, he could hear the shouts of his brothers. He opened his eyes wide and saw that he was really killing the enemy. He turned around and shouted, "Kill back!"
At this time, he was several hundred meters into the enemy's formation, surrounded by wolf cavalry.
The three brothers lined up in a row, Niu Ben and Xiao Han protected Zhang Yi on the left and right, and charged towards the mountain. The three men had already become proficient in cavalry combat skills, and launched a whirlwind charge against the enemies blocking their way.
Fight hard and no one can stop you.
Just as the three brothers were about to rush out, an arrow suddenly shot out and hit Xiao Han's horse. The horse screamed and fell to the ground...
