Zhang Yi, Niu Ben and Xiao Han each rode a horse. They were not in a hurry to go down the mountain and walked slowly along the mountain road.
It didn't take long for the Northwest Army to clear the mountain road, and the wolf cavalry chased them.
General Liu Guangda could see Zhang Yi's three brothers in the distance without using binoculars. He urged the cavalry to speed up and catch up to Zhang Yi.
"General, the terrain here is complicated and it's getting dark, so there might be an ambush. I think it's better to postpone the march and go to Mopan City in one go tomorrow." General Wang suggested.
"The soldiers are so fast that we can't give them any time to breathe," General Liu Guangda said sternly, "Pursue at full speed and don't let Zhang Yi run back to his lair! Whoever catches Zhang Yi will be promoted to the third level and be granted a thousand acres of land!"
A big reward must be rewarded by a brave man. When the young generals heard the screams, they rushed forward. General Wang followed behind. He was not short of money, had no room for promotion, and had different ideas. At this moment, he adopted a negative attitude.
General Wang thought to himself, they still didn't understand Zhang Yi, so let them suffer a little, otherwise they would be ineffective if they didn't beat him. Anyway, he made the first success of breaking through the tiger's mouth, and no one said anything even if he lay flat.
…
Zhang Yi looked back and saw countless wolf cavalry rushing towards them, raising a huge cloud of dust on the mountain road. Their armor and weapons reflected the cold light of the setting sun.
"Here we come, run!"
He shouted, and the three brothers sped up.
The Northwest Wolf Riders are in hot pursuit. They have excellent horses. After years of riding training, they are all strong and have first-class horsemanship.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
"Daniu Xiaohan, run quickly!" Zhang Yi looked back and urged.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised. The Northwest Wolf Riders were marching much faster than he expected. This was still on the mountain road. If they were on the plains, their speed would be even more amazing.
There is no doubt that Liu Kai has the best cavalry force in China. They are no longer what they used to be. They are not the rabble that the overlord General Cao encountered back then, but a powerful regular army!
Zhang Yi couldn't help but think that this army must have been stationed in the northern border to guard against the invasion of foreign enemies, and would not be withdrawn until the northern border was stable. If they launched a large-scale attack, no matter how fierce the overlord General Cao was, he would not be able to withstand the siege of the wolves. ah!
Times have really changed, and the northwest king Liu Kai is also advancing with the times. He is stronger than Zhang Yi imagined. Perhaps General Wang did not tell the truth when he drank with him and hid the strength of the Kingdom of China.
I have to admire that General Wang is also a talented person who has both sides.
"Da Niu, the old Chinese cavalry is very powerful. If they can't hold it, let's not take the risk at all." Xiao Han said.
"What, you said that the Iron Tigers can't handle it, but the Cheetahs can?" Niu Ben yelled.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it... The Cheetah Regiment doesn't know how to carry cavalry, we are a mountain regiment." Xiao Han said.
"Then don't say we can't handle it, I want to teach them a lesson!" Niu Ben said unconvinced.
"Xiaohan kindly reminds you, Daniel, don't make any noise," Zhang Yixun said. The brothers were all a little anxious and angry, so they couldn't help but speak more directly, "Xiaohan, you will go to Xikou Village to garrison now and take action according to our initial deployment. .”
At this moment, Xiao Han's heart ached. The outcome of the 100,000-strong army surrounding Mopan City was doomed. If these wolf soldiers captured the mountain city, the brothers, Yue Ya'er and the people would suffer, and blood would flow like a river. It was really unthinkable. Don't dare think!
He really wanted to go to Mopan City, where he could live and die with his brothers and lovers, and there would be no regrets in dying that way. However, Yi Ge made up his mind to fight the enemy to the end. He wanted to create a new miracle, and Xiao Han was unconditional on this point. Supported.
"Brother Yi, I listen to you," Xiao Han nodded and said, "Just let me finish participating in the ambush at the foot of the mountain before going back, okay?"
"Okay!" Zhang Yi said. He knew that Xiao Han was worried. How could the Iron Tiger Regiment with a few hundred people resist tens of thousands of wolf cavalry?
In fact, there is no way to resist, the only option is to teach the vanguard troops a lesson and hit and run.
…
As soon as the three brothers ran down the mountain, the wolf cavalry caught up with them, and they were less than a hundred meters away.
Suddenly, a loud bugle sounded in the woods nearby, and a group of heavy cavalry rushed out, led by captain Zhou Rui.
The wolf cavalry were caught off guard, and the men and horses running at the front were knocked to the ground. The cavalry rushing down from the mountain could not control their speed and bumped into them. Suddenly, they were thrown into chaos.
Zhang Yi, Niu Ben and Xiao Han took advantage of the chaos to launch a counterattack and rushed towards each other. The two sides started a fierce battle in the chaos. The sound of horses neighing, the rain of arrows, and the sound of killing swords were intertwined. In an instant, , the battlefield turned into a terrifying scene of people flying across the battlefield.
The Wolf Cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and the Iron Tiger Regiment shows no signs of weakness. In terms of the strength of individual soldiers, the members of the Iron Tiger Regiment are all warriors who are one in a hundred, and their combat effectiveness is even better.
Therefore, in this narrow local battlefield, the Iron Tiger Regiment gradually gained the upper hand. They were not many in number, but they killed fiercely, and everyone had the heroic spirit of fighting to the death!
Tens of thousands of wolf cavalry were pinned to the mountain like this, watching helplessly as people and horses piled up at the foot of the mountain, but there was nothing they could do to help.
"I'm so angry!" General Liu Guangda saw this scene on the mountain and was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had always fought on the vast plains before, and he had never been blocked on the mountain without being able to move.
"I have reminded the general that Zhang Yi has many tricks, so the general should be cautious," General Wang said.
"Your mother, Liu Wazi, is a coward." General Liu Guangda spit out a series of swear words, but he had no choice but to order, "Don't fight randomly, retreat!"
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the opponent's ambush troops were all wearing black armor and looked extremely fierce. At the same time, it was unknown how many men and horses were ambushed in the dense forest. General Liu Guangda was still very sensible and ordered the men and horses to break away from the battle and readjust their formation.
In this encounter, the Iron Tigers won a great victory.
"Well, our Iron Tigers can handle it, hahaha!" Niu Ben laughed and said to Xiao Han. He was immersed in the battle and had no time to think about anything else.
"Daniu, well done!" Xiao Han praised sincerely, and then said in a low voice, "Brother Yi, Daniel, you must take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of Xikou Village. Soon, the man and the horse disappeared into the thick night.
Only then did Niu Ben realize that this separation might be forever. He didn't even have time to say goodbye to Xiao Han and only showed off the martial arts of the Iron Tigers. For a moment, he felt guilty and sad.
"Withdraw!" Zhang Yi spit out one word.
When the enemy couldn't figure out the situation and stopped moving forward, Zhang Yi, Niu Ben and Zhou Rui led the Iron Tiger Regiment towards Mopan City.
Zhang Yi's eyes were moist, sad for the separation of his brothers.
Starting tonight, Shi Gandang is guarding Wanchun Village and Xiao Han is guarding Xikou Village. They have to face the powerful enemy with a weak force. The future is like a dark night in front of them, with no sky and no dawn in sight.
