Outside Jinling City, the rebels attacked the city with great momentum. In just a few hours, the rebels took down the Wengcheng and stormed the city wall, almost taking down Jinling City.
However, just when the rebel army was in a good situation, a roaring sound came from the west, and they saw a group of cavalry, wearing golden armor, holding spears and swords hanging from their waists, roaring and charging towards them, with great momentum.
Fierce enough to break the hearts of the bandits.
And at this moment, there was a sudden attack, and no one on the entire battlefield was prepared for such a situation.
Any general who knows a little about military affairs knows that when two armies are fighting, the most taboo thing is to be killed by cavalry from the flanks. Therefore, anyone who knows the battle formation will use cavalry to protect the two wings, which can not only prevent sneak attacks, but also wait for opportunities.
The terrifying army stormed the city and marched to the gates of Jinling City. It did not rely on the skill of leading troops to fight, but only relied on large numbers of people, the corruption of the court, and the weakness of the city defenders.
"Boom~!"
The rolling iron hooves galloped faster and faster, and nearly ten thousand war horses started galloping. Such a momentum would make even a hundred thousand troops tremble.
Li Xiuyuan was riding a dragon colt, covered in black scales, holding a golden gun in his mouth and staring coldly at the approaching battlefield.
He slightly turned his back on the soldier behind him.
These bodyguards, who had only been recruited and trained for more than a month, were on the battlefield for the first time with great fanfare, but they were also extremely nervous. Many of them were shouting and shouting, venting their inner tension, and their faces turned red.
But it doesn't matter.
After winning this battle and seeing blood, these bodyguards will be considered real soldiers.
"Although there are many enemies, they are just a bunch of mobs. I, Li Xiuyuan, dare to charge into the formation with one horse. What do you have to fear? Come with me and charge into the formation." Li Xiuyuan gained strength and shouted loudly.
"Kill~!"
Relying on the speed of Longju's horse, he took the lead in charging into the battlefield with a big gun. As the big gun picked and killed, the rebels on the left and right screamed and howled. Some of them were directly lifted into the air by his big gun, and then hit hard.
He fell to the ground, and what greeted the rebel was the rolling iron hooves behind him.
Wherever Li Xiuyuan goes, no one can stop him.
A martial arts master puts on armor and goes into battle and leads an army to charge. This is a rare thing in ancient and modern times.
And it is also a blessing for the army to meet such a general who rushes into battle.
As Li Xiuyuan took the lead in charging into the battle, he was unrivaled all the way. Seeing this, the cavalry behind him suddenly became more powerful. They roared and followed closely, stabbing left and right with the golden spears in their hands. Then, with the power of the strong horses running, the thieves in front of them were unbearable.
As soon as the enemy came together, the thieves immediately ran away in fear wherever they passed.
If you look down at the battlefield from a high altitude, you can find that the densely packed bandit soldiers on this battlefield were torn open by a cavalry force coming from the west.
And the hole is growing rapidly.
It's like a river bursting its banks and out of control.
"Damn, there are nearly ten thousand cavalry. How can Li Xiuyuan pull such a large army if he doesn't show off his strength?" Shi Hu's face froze when he saw this scene.
He is an old monster from Montenegro who takes the alias Shi Hu and travels around the world as a human being. He gathers bandits to cause trouble and leads troops to rebel. He knows a lot about military affairs.
It would be difficult for the imperial court to maintain such a nearly ten thousand cavalry force, let alone Li Xiuyuan, who was only a scholar.
But now is not the time to think about this. Shi Hu shouted at this moment: "What's going on? Didn't we already beat the drum and withdraw the troops? Why haven't we withdraw yet?"
At this time, he suddenly discovered that his army was still attacking the city and had not retreated yet.
He had clearly ordered a retreat before.
"Report to the leader, I sent the order, but several of the leaders said that the capture of Jinling City was just around the corner, and refused to obey the leader's order." A messenger hurried over, looking anxious.
"Kill and invade Jinling City, and enjoy endless glory and wealth."
Under the city wall, several small leaders supervising the battle were still drinking loudly and had no intention of retreating.
Shi Hu's face was gloomy, and he glanced coldly at the little leaders supervising the battle: "The people in Tiangong are really powerful, even I have their people sleeping around, but if you want to take Jinling City, you have to take it.
Nearly 10,000 cavalrymen are coming to kill you. You are the only one who can take them. Even if we really fight, we may not be able to win, let alone the current situation."
After saying that, he rode away without looking back: "If you are willing to retreat with me, just follow me, and if you don't want to, just get out."
In the end, Shi Hu withdrew from the battlefield with less than 10,000 troops, but his remaining troops were unable to obey his orders.
In another part of the battlefield.
"Holy aunt, leader Shihu is evacuating the battlefield with his troops." A soldier suddenly came in a hurry to deliver a message.
Huagu, who was surrounded by believers, had a hardened expression and looked towards the direction of Shihu's attack. She couldn't see what was going on there, but she had been paying attention to Shihu's movements before.
If Shi Hu attacks, she will attack the city; if Shi Hu retreats, she will retreat.
The old demon from Montenegro never does anything without a reason.
"Prepare to withdraw."
Hua Gu looked at the believers who had already stormed the city wall and were about to enter the city, and immediately shouted.
"Saintess, withdraw your troops now? Our people are already going to take down Jinling City."
A congregant next to him said in disbelief.
Huagu shouted coldly: "If you are told to withdraw your troops, do you still need me to teach you? The leaders of Shihu have already withdrawn. Something special must have happened there. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
It’s too small.”
"Bah, benevolent woman, take down Jinling City now, and Yangzhou belongs to our White Lotus Sect. You are a saint, how can you be such a child's play? Do you want to sacrifice the believers who attacked the city in vain?"
An elder shouted sternly, his eyes wide open with a heart-stopping golden light.
"This elder is not a human but a god."
Hua Gu was shocked and felt that familiar aura.
Shi Hu said that the gods from the Heavenly Palace had lurked beside him and others, but they were too high-level and their whereabouts were hidden, so they couldn't tell.
Now at this critical juncture, the God of Tiangong no longer wants to hide his identity.
"If this wasn't a battlefield and the evil spirit of blood was permeating the air, this god would definitely show up and cast a spell to subdue me."
Aunt Hua was frightened and did not dare to stay here. She hurriedly said: "If you are willing to retreat with me, just leave. If you don't want to, you can do it yourself."
After saying that, she did not miss these believers, turned around on horseback and ran away.
In the end, she just hurriedly retreated from the battlefield with only three to four thousand troops.
In this battlefield, everyone is a chess piece from beginning to end, and there are only two people playing chess, the Heavenly Lord in the Heavenly Palace and the saint on earth, Li Xiuyuan.
If you don't want to die here as a pawn, you must escape.
However, their retreat had little impact on the battlefield, because hundreds of thousands of people attacked the city, and the loss of more than 10,000 people was nothing at all. The general trend of the rebel army was still there.
"Kill~!"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't care less about the escape of a few thieves at this moment. What he wanted to win was this battle.
He led the cavalry and rushed all the way, but the bandits were wiped out wherever they passed. With just one charge, the bandits on the south wall were instantly defeated. The defeated defenders on the city wall saw their reinforcements arriving and instantly jumped up again.
Losing momentum, he actually started to fight back.
"Look, it's reinforcements, reinforcements from the imperial court are coming."
"That's great. We are saved, and we know that the court will not give up on us."
"What are you doing standing there? Reinforcements are killing the enemy outside the city. We must rise up bravely and repel the bandits."
"Kill to avenge your brother."
No matter how timid the army is, after seeing blood, fighting, and being defeated, and then seeing their own cavalry outside the city fighting and defeating the enemy, they will instantly cheer up.
For a time, the situation on the south wall was very good. The rebel army's retreat was cut off. There was no continuous stream of rebel troops to attack the city wall. Killing each one would result in one less one. Soon the defenders began to counterattack, not to mention that Shi Hu had knocked on the wall before.
The military drums for retreat were sounded, which further depleted the rebel army's momentum.
"Rumble"
Li Xiuyuan's cavalry rushed through the southern city wall and rushed towards the eastern city wall. They only had to circle the city once, and even a hundred thousand people would be defeated.
"Come on, whoever breaks into Jinling City will be rewarded with thousands of gold." A small leader was still roaring at the top of his lungs, supervising the battle and urging the troops behind him to attack continuously.
Maybe things were too chaotic on the battlefield, or maybe Li Xiuyuan charged in with his cavalry so fast that even the remaining people didn't know about it after they had driven back the bandits on a wall.
When Li Xiuyuan came with a gun and killed him, the little leader had no idea.
"Wha~!"
The cold light struck and instantly pierced the little leader's body. A blood-stained dragon colt neighed. Li Xiuyuan picked up the little leader who was supervising the battle and threw him away.
"Li, Li Xiuyuan?"
When the little leader saw him, his eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on his face.
"You actually know me?"
Li Xiuyuan's cold face had a strange look on it.
"Tsk~!"
Immediately afterwards, the smell of incense leaked out from the torn hole in the little leader's body. His whole body was like a deflated balloon, and his originally strong and powerful body shriveled up in an instant.
A piece of human skin hung limply on his spear.
Human skin?
Li Xiuyuan was immediately furious and looked back, only to see the incense condensing and the vague appearance of a golden-armored god.
This little leader is not a human being, but a god descended from heaven.
But as soon as the golden-armored god behind him appeared, he let out a miserable cry, and his body was hit by the cavalry behind him. The incense instantly fell apart, and then was eroded by an invisible evil spirit and blood energy, and soon it was gone.
Completely disappeared on the battlefield.
With more than 100,000 people fighting on the battlefield, how could a mere god withstand such evil energy and blood energy impact, and he would collapse on the spot.
People send out murderous intentions, and heaven and earth repeat themselves. These words are not just words.
If the fighting in the world is cruel enough, this evil spirit will be enough to kill the passing gods.
Legend has it that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty revolted. He raised his arms and shouted, so angry that he flew into the sky and shook a white snake from the sky that was almost on the verge of enlightenment.
