The appearance of this group of cavalry completely reversed the stalemate on the battlefield.
"Reinforcements are here!" The morale of the Han army soldiers was greatly boosted.
The army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty began to pay tribute and withdraw its troops.
This group of Han army's light cavalry was obviously aware of the presence of the opponent's armored cavalry, so they did not rush forward rashly, but spread out from both wings to cover the flanks and rear of their own infantry, so as not to be outflanked by the opponent's light cavalry.
Cheng Feng saw that Qingqi's general flag had the word "Hou" in it, and immediately understood that it was Hou Mi who had arrived with the cavalry. For Hou Mi to go into battle in person, it must have been an order from His Majesty or the commander Lu Guangda.
The Northern Zhou army retreated, and the Han army once again set up camp.
There were six or seven injured armored cavalrymen, none of whom were minor injuries - their thick armor meant they were either seriously injured or fine - the military doctor was directing people to set up tents and conduct emergency rescue operations. Fortunately, no one died in the battle.
The casualties of the Northern Zhou army should be similar. They did not leave any corpses, and they probably did not die in battle, but there were four or five injured.
Coupled with the several corpses left behind by the Qingqi, this battle was huge, but the losses on both sides were minimal. But of course it was of great significance to both sides. Not only did they realize that the other side had a powerful enough armored cavalry, but they also realized that the armored cavalry faced off against
Armor cavalry can only play a role in competing and restraining each other. Once both sides have armor cavalry when they face off, then unless there is a significant gap in the number of armor cavalry - now it seems that neither side has such financial and material resources -
Otherwise, the armored cavalry will inevitably restrain each other, and ultimately it will be difficult to have any impact on the battlefield.
Just like this time, the armored cavalry of both sides was in a stalemate. In fact, it was still a confrontation between the Han army's infantry and the Northern Zhou Qingqi. However, because of the existence of the armored cavalry, no one dared to act rashly. The appearance of the Han army's light cavalry eventually forced the Northern Zhou army to retreat.
.
Hou Mi turned over and dismounted, and cupped his hands towards Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng said with a smile: "Lao Hou, you are late, otherwise there might be something to eat."
Everyone was familiar with each other, so they naturally spoke more casually. Hou Mi smacked his lips, looked at the retreating armored cavalry, and raised his whip in his hand: "It's not because you retreated too fast, otherwise,
If we wait for someone to arrive and attack together, no matter what the origin of this group today, no one can escape!"
"Forget it!" Cheng Feng patted his wrist, "If I hadn't been here to support the armored cavalry on the opposite side, and you and the light cavalry were the only ones pulling out, how could they really have blocked anything?"
Hou Mi snorted: "Don't tell me, if I let go of my horse's hooves and started running, can these armored cavalry really catch up with me?"
"Then can you stop me?" Cheng Feng ruthlessly exposed Hou Mi.
Secretary Hou hurriedly changed the subject: "Then what should we do now? Your Majesty ordered someone to lead the Qingqi to come to support and follow your arrangements."
"It seems that His Majesty is also aware of the threat from the armored cavalry." Cheng Feng sighed with emotion.
After a pause, Cheng Feng pointed forward: "But the armored cavalry is not invincible. Now that we also have the light cavalry, we can continue to move forward. However, the situation here should be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible so that the rear can make early arrangements and adjustments.

Li Xingchen put on his armor and was reaching out to grab the sword on the shelf. He thought of something, put the sword down and walked to the bed.
Yu Chizhen was sleeping soundly with her quilt in her arms. She didn't know what delicious food she dreamed about in her dream. She smashed it in her mouth, and her saliva almost flowed out. Li Xingchen couldn't help but smile, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.
Yu Chizhen felt this gentle touch, opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Li Xingchen, who was already fully clothed, and suddenly woke up: "Your Majesty..."
Logically speaking, I should wait for His Majesty to change his clothes.
Li Xingchen pinched her cheek: "Let's sleep a little longer. It's still early. I'll get up to patrol the camp."
Yu Chizhen stayed up late last night sorting out information. Even Li Xingchen went to bed early because she had to listen to the military's battle report the next morning. In the end, she didn't know when she finally got into trouble like a kitten.
Come into Li Xinchen's arms. Now of course Li Xinchen couldn't bear to let her get up with two dark circles under her eyes.
Yu Chizhen herself was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Li Xingchen said so, so she naturally responded and continued to sleep while hugging the quilt.
With Your Majesty, there have been no outsiders for a long time. Your Majesty has already said that, so why are you so polite?
Li Xingchen smiled, turned around and walked out of the tent, not forgetting to instruct the guards and maids standing at the door not to disturb Yu Chizhen's rest.
The weather is sunny, and the morning light shines on people's faces, making them warm.
A few days ago, there was a late-spring chill that made people reluctant to take off their clothes, but now the earth is really returning to spring. Even this weather makes people feel like summer has arrived.
Patrolling the camp was Li Xinchen's usual practice when he was on his own expedition, and no one could stop it even if he objected. The emperor's mere presence in the army did not make the soldiers really feel that the emperor was by their side. The Imperial Guards and Yulin Cavalry would provide strict protection.
Li Xingchen lost the space to talk directly with ordinary officials and soldiers.
Since he was in the military camp, it was necessary for Li Xingchen to know what his soldiers were thinking and looking forward to.
Therefore, Li Xingchen didn't mind coming out every day to brush up his presence, so that the soldiers could really feel that the emperor was with them and would personally lead them to victory.
The soldiers who were practicing outside were looking intently and chanting loudly.
The busy officials and soldiers were also walking in a hurry. Occasionally, someone noticed His Majesty's presence, and they would simply salute and then go about their own business. In the army, all the etiquette was simple, and everyone had their hands full.
There are a lot of things going on here, and there is no time to deal with His Majesty's questions and answers, so it is best to disappear from His Majesty's presence as soon as possible.
Of course, Li Xingchen also knew that he was not that lovable, so he would just say a few words of encouragement to everyone he met to keep everyone's morale high. A leader who always pulls his subordinates to ask questions is not a good leader.
Just when Li Xingchen walked to the front of the musketeers station, Zhang Xutuo ran over quickly from behind: "Your Majesty, the latest battle report!"
"Where did it come from?" Li Xingchen asked directly.
Zhang Xutuo was startled for a moment and said subconsciously: "There are them everywhere!"
"ah?"
Bao Xing, who was following Li Xingchen, couldn't help but laugh and said: "You kid, you have battle reports from every side. You don't know how to tell them one by one. What kind of answer is this?"
Zhang Xutuo reacted, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Li Xingchen waved his hand: "Okay, tell me quickly."
"This is sent by the vanguard Yu Linqi, and this is sent by Qiziling Xiao Shilue," Zhang Xutuo said hurriedly. "The most noticeable thing about both of them is that they both encountered Zhou Renjiaqi."
"Jia Qi?" Li Xingchen suddenly became interested, "Has he finally appeared?"
Although Bao Xing was not a general in the military, he still kept his spirits up. This armored cavalry caused a lot of speculation and even worry within the Han army. Has the true face of Lushan finally been revealed?
