Great Gan, Yongxi 3rd year, end of August.
A group of nomadic tribes crossed the Woernan River from the foot of Langjuxu Mountain, passed through the Horqin tribe's territory, and reached the Bashang Plateau.
The small and medium-sized tribes living on the Bashang Highlands were attacked by a large cavalry force, led by five hundred Overlord Cavalry.
In just half a month, Xiang Que led the five hundred Overlord Cavalry and eight thousand Saihan Cavalry to sweep across the entire Bashang Plateau, establishing Saihan Tribe's position.
No one knew that an unfamiliar tribe with over a hundred thousand clansmen and thirty thousand cavalry had appeared north of Swallow Mountain and south of the eastern desert.
Their ruler was the former Tata tribe's Que family's Namuqiqige.
Thousands of miles away, in Datong Prefecture, the 300,000 Tatar cavalrymen had engaged in thousands of battles with the 300,000 Great Gan troops.
Fresh blood dyed the surrounding hundreds of miles of Da Tong red. The wind was always filled with the thick smell of blood.
At this moment, on the plains of the Southern Desert, a black torrent was rapidly approaching the battlefield.
"How far is it from Great Unity?"
"My lord, Datong Prefecture is less than a hundred miles ahead.”
"Alright, order the entire army to move forward at a faster speed.”
After ten days and ten nights of assault, the two thousand Overlord Cavalry had traveled about three thousand li from Langju Xu Mountain to the Southern Desert Plains.
The sandstorm in the desert had even dyed their profound armor and warhorses yellow.
Everyone's faces were filled with the vicissitudes of life, but their eyes were always shining.
They were finally here!
....
At this moment, outside Da Tong City.
General Niu Jizong led 300,000 troops outside the city to fight with the Tartars.
"Wu wu…"
The melodious sound of the horn resounded within a radius of a hundred miles.
The 500,000 people were engaged in a life-and-death battle in this small area. Everyone's blood was boiling.
Not only the Northern Expedition Army, but the Xuan Manor and Datong garrison also joined the battlefield.
Yue Zhongqi, deputy commander of Xuanfu, Nian Gengyao, vanguard general Hou Xiaokang, rear guard general Liu Fang and other generals took the lead and bravely killed the enemy.
The sound of metal clashing, shouts of killing, and the sound of sharp blades piercing into bodies rang out continuously.
Every face was already crazed. Other than mechanically waving their knives, there was no other movement.
People kept falling on the battlefield. Those who were still alive were covered in blood and even had wounds all over their bodies. However, no one felt any pain because a second of pause was the difference between life and death.
"Little Duke! Be careful!"
Under the protection of the family soldiers, the sons of the founding families also fought desperately.
Over ten days, dozens of sons of noble families had shed their blood on the battlefield, and only seven of them were still alive.
After today's battle, perhaps not a single one would be left alive.
"These damn Tartars haven't revealed their trump cards yet.”
At the rear of the Great Gan army, under the flag of the central army.
Great Gan's Northern General, Duke Zhenguo's Mansion's First Uncle Niu Jizong looked into the distance through the Thousand Mile Mirror and cursed.
Up until now, both sides had hidden some trump cards. Niu Jizong didn't expect the Tartars to be so patient.
"Great General."
"If we don't send people up, the left and right wings won't be able to hold on.”
The deputy general guarding Niu Jizong said anxiously.
On the left and right were the Xuanfu and Datong defenders. Adding on the days before, they had been fighting for at least a month.
There were only 30,000 troops in these two places, and they were barely able to hold on after mobilizing all the young men.
Now that they were faced with the constant killing of the Ttar cavalrymen, their decline was gradually apparent.
One had to know that the 300,000 Tatars were all cavalrymen, while the 300,000 Great Gan Army only had less than half of them. The two sides were not on equal footing in the field.
Seeing this, Niu Jizong couldn't hold it in anymore. If the left and right wings collapsed, the middle army would be finished.
He immediately ordered,"Beat the drums and divide the fifty thousand cavalry into two groups to support the left and right wings."”
"Yes."
The messenger quickly passed down the order.
"Dong dong dong!"
After a while.
The dull sound of war drums sounded from behind, and the city gates of Datong opened instantly.
The 50,000 cavalrymen of the Great Qian Dynasty rushed out like a raging fire, divided into two groups, and joined the battlefield.
The originally defeated Xuan Manor and Da Tong defenders immediately stabilized their positions, and even showed signs of counterattacking.
"Wuuu!"
However, at this moment, the sound of a horn rang out on the battlefield.
Thud!
The generals of the Great Gan who were fighting were all shocked and looked into the distance.
Even General Niu Jizong couldn't help but look at the rear of the Tartars.
"Da da! Da da!"
The ground shook continuously, and a cloud of dust rose in the distance.
A bright yellow flag with the pattern of an eagle spreading its wings appeared on the battlefield.
It was the symbol of the Golden Family of the Tartar Khan.
The expressions of all the Great Gan generals changed.
In the next moment.
The Tatar cavalrymen swept toward the Great Qian Army.
The red color was drowned by the gray color, and the Da Qian army that had the initiative was now in a dangerous situation.
The morale of the Tartar soldiers was high. They were like wolves and tigers as they killed the Great Gan soldiers in front of them.
"Not good!"
How could Niu Jizong not know that he had fallen into the Tartars 'trap?
The reason why the Tartars didn't send out their troops was that they wanted to wait for him to reveal all his trump cards before annihilating him.
The 50,000 Great Qian cavalrymen who had just entered the battlefield were instantly split up and fell to the Tartar cavalry.
At this moment, all of the Great Gan Army was surrounded. They could not retreat even if they wanted to.
Because Da Tong and Xuan Manor's garrison troops were mobilized in full force, the city could not even take out a thousand guards.
Once the army retreated, the Tatar cavalry would take the opportunity to attack and take Datong Town effortlessly.
"Sha sha…"
The wind howled and the flags fluttered.
Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang, Nian Gengyao, Yue Zhongqi, and the other generals felt their hearts turn colder than winter.
"Xiu! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Suddenly.
A sharp sound broke the rhythm of the battlefield.
Dense black dots suddenly appeared in the sky, shining brightly under the sunlight.
Before the Tartars could react, the bolts came crashing down.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream instantly sounded.
One by one, the Tartar cavalrymen and their horses were shot into a sieve.
However, this was only the beginning. The Overlord Cavalry were equipped with unprecedented mechanical crossbows that could fire fifteen bolts at the same time.
"Xiu! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The two thousand Overlord Cavalry instantly shot out thirty thousand steel tri-edged ballista bolts.
The rear of the Tartars had been reaped.
"That's…"
Whether it was the Tartars or the Great Gan, everyone saw a black torrent rushing into the battlefield from the south of the desert.
The black phoenix flag fluttered in the wind and was especially eye-catching!
