With a single strike, the enemy's chiliarch was beheaded. The Hu Cavalry who saw this scene were all frightened. When they looked at Li Xin again, they lost their courage and didn't dare to draw their swords.
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion behind him were shocked and charged forward with even higher morale.
"Kill them!"
Li Xin plunged into the enemy's formation. He held the Overlord Spear in his left hand and the treasured saber in his right. The sharp blade of the spear swept across the Hu Qi's neck, causing blood to splatter. Wherever the blade passed, heads flew up.
The Overlord's spear technique was specialized in cavalry combat, while the Nine Bloody Killing Blades could be used in cavalry combat and infantry combat.
Li Xin charged in with ten thousand Jin of force, facing these ordinary Hu Cavalry, he was no match for them. The ten personal guards behind him were also in high spirits.
Under the charge of the 11 cavalry, they tore a hole in the 1,000 cavalry, plowing out a path that was dozens of feet wide.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xin had broken through the army formation, leaving behind hundreds of corpses. Among them, there were more than ten armored Hu cavalry elites.
Clang, pfft, kill!
The hundreds of cavalrymen from the first camp, under the leadership of the lieutenant Ling Fang, killed people from the opening that Li Xin had opened. When the two sides crossed paths, the originally thousand Hu cavalry were now only left with less than two hundred.
The 1st Battalion, which originally had 500 cavalry, also lost tens of them.
When cavalry clashed, falling off the horse was equivalent to death. Under the heavy iron hooves, it was very difficult to survive.
The two sides charged past each other and turned their horses around to face each other from a mile away. The morale of the Great Gan First Battalion was high and they didn't delay at all. They once again followed behind Li Xin and charged at the enemy.
As for the remaining 200 soldiers, they were terrified by the charge of the Great Gan cavalrymen. Some of them charged towards the main formation, while others scattered to the sides.
"Pursue!"
The lieutenant ordered the soldiers to leave the formation in an orderly manner and chase after the Hu Cavalry who had lost their courage.
As for Li Xin, he led the third team and ran three miles away from the west gate of Yongning County. He also sent messengers to inform the main army.
Wuwuwu, wuwu…
In the direction of Yongning County, the horn sounded.
The cavalrymen of the 1st Battalion who were wandering a few miles away all raised their heads to look in the direction of the county city.
They only had a few hundred cavalry, and it was already their limit to be able to annihilate and defeat the enemy forces that were intercepting them.
It was impossible for them to charge into the tens of thousands of Hu cavalry.
With them harassing the enemy from behind and killing a thousand-man team, they could also put pressure on the enemy.
As expected, the Hu Cavalry who had already climbed up the city gate tower blew the bugle call to retreat. The Yongning County soldiers on the city gate tower also took the opportunity to kill the Wolf Barbarians who didn't have time to retreat or drive them down the city gate tower.
"Retreat, retreat two miles!"
Lieutenant Ling Fang led dozens of his personal guards and loudly ordered the 1st Battalion to retreat.
They were Ye Bushui, not the main army.
Now that the enemy had clearly gathered their forces to counterattack, they naturally had to retreat to a safe distance and wait for the arrival of their main forces.
"These are elites!" Outside the west gate, the Iron Wolf Tribe's major general Cha Han, who was standing on a high platform, saw the retreating cavalry and knew that the army that was about to arrive was definitely the elites of the Great Gan.
However, he did not know if it was the 20,000 Black Wind Cavalrymen from Border Town or the reinforcements from the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, no matter who it was, the other party's roaming cavalry had already arrived. Moreover, they were patrolling the periphery and did not retreat. There were even hundreds of them. In that case, the reinforcements from Da Qian were definitely not far from them.
Thus, it was impossible for Cha Han to retreat now. He could only gather his army and get into formation.
The seven thousand Hu cavalry galloped west under Cha Han's lead, forming up three li away from Yongning County.
Around a mile around the army, there were many scouts of the Iron Wolf Tribe galloping back and forth.
Rumble…
A thunderous sound rang out, and the ground shook.
When these Hu Cavalry heard this, their expressions changed drastically. As a major general, Cha Han's face was even darker. Under his thick beard, he looked like a pool of black water.
As people who had dealt with warhorses for many years, they naturally knew that there were no less than 10,000 soldiers charging at them.
In the distance, Great Gan's Ye Bushou continued to retreat. Cha Han also knew that the main army of the roaming cavalry had arrived.
As expected, not long after, a black line gradually became thicker and clearer.
The military flag fluttered in the wind. When he got closer, Cha Han saw the Great Gan cavalry that covered the sky and covered the earth.
Cavalry, they were all cavalry!
There were 30,000 of them!
Damn it! Cha Han gritted his teeth.
He should have retreated earlier.
At this moment, Cha Han regretted his decision.
If they had retreated earlier, they might have been able to escape. Moreover, this cavalry was clearly reinforcements from the imperial court. Their goal should be to guard Border City.
If he retreated, the other party might not chase after him.
But now, it was too late.
The distance of several miles was covered in a single charge. If they retreated now, it would be equivalent to giving their back to the Great Qian Cavalry for slaughter.
Thump thump thump... Wu...
On the other side, the Gale Guards arrived. They didn't stop. The war drums beat and the bugle horn sounded.
"Kill them!"
Following this, the 20,000 soldiers in the center and 5,000 elites on the left and right moved forward with the commander's flag pointing forward.
The Black Scaled Warhorses under him were getting faster and faster, and the formation was becoming more and more lax, but it was still neat.
The 3,000 heavily armored cavalrymen in the front row of the central army put down their armor and pointed their lances forward, their horses moving faster and faster.
On the other side, Cha Han saw that the Whole Wind Guards were not even resting and had directly charged. His face was as dark as water, but he had no choice but to give the order to charge.
At this moment, the other party had already charged. If he did not give the order to charge, his horse would not be able to reach the speed, and his subordinates would still be unable to escape the fate of being slaughtered.
"Ha!"
The heavily armored cavalrymen formed an Arrow Formation. The tips of their spears sparkled coldly under the setting sun.
The charge of a group of cavalrymen, especially the charge of tens of thousands of cavalrymen, was absolutely shocking.
At this time, Li Xin, who was leading the third team to patrol the periphery of the formation, also saw the cavalry group charge for the first time. The pupils in his eyes shook violently, and at the same time, they contracted violently.
Facing such a cavalry formation, the strength that he originally thought was not bad was simply not enough.
For a time, Li Xin's desire to increase his strength became even stronger.
"Yang Feng!"
"I'm here!"
"Lead the troops and patrol five miles away from the battlefield. If there are any Hu cavalry that escape from the battlefield, kill them all!”
"Here!"
"Liu Hu, take half of the people and go with Yang Feng.”After giving the order to Yang Feng, Li Xin said to Liu Hu.
"Hundred Generals." Liu Hu glanced at the battlefield a few miles away and was somewhat unwilling.
It was not that he wanted to disobey, but he was worried about the safety of Li Xin.
"Go quickly, do I still need protection?”Staring at Liu Hu, Li Xin shouted.
Thinking about Li Xin's strength, Liu Hu felt embarrassed. After nodding his head, he ordered four personal guards to join Yang Feng and the others. Li Xin led Xiong Pi, Liu Bao, and the other personal guards to patrol outside the battlefield with Hua Ling's troops. They were on guard and killing those who escaped.
