Chapter 2028 The Light of Soul Destruction
Kou Ying suspected that he was dead, but he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years. He heard the sound of war horses rushing over in his ears, and even felt a strong wind coming down. With his years of experience in fighting, he knew that it was a sabre that was chopping down from his head, and he raised the knife to block it like a conditioned reflex. Then he heard a "choking" sound, and even felt his arm trembling slightly, and he knew that he had indeed fought with the enemy.
He could not determine whether he was alive or dead, but even though he was in the underworld, he would never allow the mermaid to block the opponent's knife and then slashed over it with the flow. This knife slashed the opponent's chest.
At this moment, the light in front of him was dim, and the figure of the Northwest Cavalry appeared again in front of him. He was even more shocked to see a square monster on his chest, wanting to see clearly, but a few lights pierced from the side. And when he saw the monster in his eyes, not only did the light shoot from the inside, but some living creatures seemed to be moving.
He heard the screams in his ears. Kou Ying didn't know what happened for a moment, so he could only fight hard.
When Kou Ying was shocked, Qi Sheng was leading five thousand iron cavalry to the southwest of Huangling, looking for the two thousand soldiers and horses.
Although he followed Chi Liandian for decades and fought countless wars, this was the first time Qi Sheng was in command of five thousand soldiers and horses to fight independently. If Xu Chang and Zhao You were not trapped on Huangling, such qualifications would definitely not be the turn of him.
The thirty-six cavalry on the battlefield is already famous. Qi Sheng is also one of the famous warriors in Liaodong, but he hopes that through this battle, people will know his talent in commanding the army. He is more clear that once this battle is won and Kou Ying controls Liaodong, he can lay the foundation for his future with this battle.
The war horses galloped, and the cold wind blew on their faces was biting, but Qi Sheng's heart was hot.
But soon, his heart began to cool down. He led his troops to the enemy's place as fast as possible. However, looking around, there was no shadow of the two thousand northwest cavalry on the vast land.
The news that the horses discovered was confirmed that the Northwest Army was divided into two parts, trapping Huangling on both sides. The main cavalry in the northwest was indeed in the northeast of Huangling, but at this moment there was no trace of the small group of Northwest cavalry.
This made his boiling blood cooler.
He took the troops and horses for a short time, but he still disappeared from the Northwest Army. He frowned and wondered whether this small group of cavalry had already joined the main force?
He felt quite unwilling, so at this moment, he vaguely saw a group of figures appearing in the west. Qi Sheng immediately slapped his horse and rushed over there. Before he got close, he saw the group of figures quickly retreating westward. Looking at the figure, it was obviously the northwest cavalry.
"They are there." Qi Sheng was excited and slapped his horse and chased after him. Five thousand iron cavalry followed him up.
The cavalry in front seemed very in a hurry, and Qi Sheng sneered in his heart. He was determined to annihilate the northwest cavalry, so he would not easily miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He was really not worried that the cavalry in front was a bait to lure the enemy into depth. Where he was in his own eyes, the main force of the Northwest cavalry had already faced against the main force of Liaodong. All he had to face was only the two thousand cavalry at most. He believed that the force in Kou Ying's hand was enough to deal with Chu Huan, and there were 4,000 soldiers on Huangling that could rush down from the mountains to support at any time. All he had to do was swallow the two thousand cavalry.
Even if there is an ambush ahead, there are only two thousand cavalrymen, who hold five thousand Liaodong cavalry who can fight well, and are invincible and fearless.
The war horses were galloping like the wind. At first, more than a dozen northwestern cavalry fled in a hurry in front of them. Soon, hundreds of northwestern cavalry appeared. When they saw the rushing Liaodong cavalry, they all turned around and left. Qi Sheng was extremely brave and felt that he was just a tiger down the mountain, while the northwestern cavalry were just a group of frightened lambs.
However, the Northwest cavalry's horses were indeed agile, and they kept a distance from the Liaodong soldiers. Moreover, they were obviously very familiar with this area. Qi Sheng chased for more than ten miles and had already widened the distance from Huangling. He was a little hesitant. He had easily left the main battlefield and deviated from the original combat deployment.
He hesitated, but he did not stop the horse. The five thousand iron cavalry behind him followed his horse's head, so he naturally would not stop.
On the Huangling Mountains, Xu Chang was standing tall. In order to be able to understand the surrounding situation, after retreating to the mountain, Xu Chang immediately ordered a simple whistle tower to be built at the highest point of the mountain.
The Huangling is full of trees, densely packed, and the plants are lush in spring and summer. Now in the cold winter, there is naturally no trace of green, but the dead branches and decay trees all over the mountain are indeed closely connected. The trees that build the sentry tower can be said to be inexhaustible. Not only did the sentry tower be built at the highest point of the mountain, but after the soldiers went up the mountain, in order to prevent the Northwest Army from attacking the mountain, Xu Chang ordered the soldiers to cut down trees and build fences around the mountain. In this way, not only could they create obstacles when the enemy attacked, but they could also prevent the war horses from running down the mountain.
Xu Chang and Zhao You were both standing on the mail tower at this time. After the reinforcements arrived, they saw Chu Huan and Kou Ying talking in the two armies. Then they saw Qi Sheng leading a team of troops to leave the formation. Xu Chang and Zhao You naturally could not understand Qi Sheng's combat target. They saw the main forces of the two armies fighting, and they also saw thousands of troops led by Qi Sheng chasing westward.
Regarding all this, the two only thought that this was Kou Ying's combat deployment, but they did not know that Qi Sheng had deviated from the original plan.
Compared to Qi Sheng who was advancing westward, the two were more concerned about the showdown between the main players of both sides at this time.
They also saw strange lights appearing on the battlefield, and the lights were shining. After the two armies collided, the Northwest Army slashed and killed them. Most of the Liaodong cavalry were abnormal when fighting with the Northwest Army. They were not as brave and good at fighting against the enemy as before, and they were dodging in reverse. They also saw that some Liaodong cavalry did not even resist when they were slashed by the Northwest Army with their swords and were easily killed by their enemies.
Both of them were shocked.
They were naturally clear about the Liaodong cavalry, knowing that these cavalry were elite soldiers trained for a long time. Although the Northwest Army was brave and good at fighting, the Liaodong Army's individual combat capabilities were definitely not inferior to those of the Northwest Cavalry, and their basic combat skills were definitely not unfamiliar with the Northwest Army. The Northwest Army's actions were simple and straightforward when slashing, and those chopping actions were fully capable of resisting with the combat qualities of the Liaodong soldiers, but they were like losing their souls. They did not react at all when facing a knife that could be resisted, thus paying the price of their lives.
On the battlefield, war horses crisscrossed, swords and guns came and went, blood songs were foggy, people were tilted, horses were overturned, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, which had an absolute advantage in military strength, fell one after another, with the heavy casualties far exceeding the losses of the Northwest Army.
The sunlight shone between the sky and the earth, and also on Xu Chang and Zhao You's faces. They only felt that the scene on the battlefield was suspected. The countless Liaodong cavalry were as if they were in a bad position when facing the Northwest cavalry.
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Chang watched the Liaodong soldiers fall down one by one, and the corpses of Liaodong cavalry were everywhere on the snow. He felt chill all over, his fists were clenched, and his body couldn't help but shake gently.
The encounters of the Liaodong soldiers on the battlefield were like their own experiences, and they were not as powerful as others and were killed by the enemy. Xu Chang would never say anything nonsense, but what he saw at this moment was clearly a large number of Liaodong cavalry died inexplicably, which made Xu Chang really difficult to accept.
Zhao You also looked pale, opened his mouth but didn't say it.
"No!" Xu Chang saw that from the beginning of the battle, the Liaodong Army not only did not have the advantage because of its superior force, but was increasingly at a disadvantage. Moreover, the Liaodong Army was already in chaos under the impact of the Northwest Army. He knew that if this continued, the Liaodong Army would likely collapse. He held the hilt of the knife at his waist, "Old Fourteen, prepare to go down the mountain!"
Zhao You also knew that the situation was critical.
When he followed Chi Lianyin to enter Liaodong and the formation of the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army had fought many wars in the past twenty years, and it was not unfair to encounter a downside on the battlefield, but there was no such situation in danger in front of him. Even if the Liaodong Army fought with less and had a severe situation, the situation was often severe, but it was often able to turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory under difficult circumstances.
And to be honest, with the strength of the Liaodong Army, it has always been suppressing its opponents, and is rarely suppressed by its opponents, and it is very rare to be in a difficult situation.
But today not only was there a disadvantage, but what was even more strange was that the Liaodong Army could not see any signs of turning around the situation for a while, and it also gave people the feeling that they could collapse at any time.
Zhao You turned around and looked to the northwest of Huangling.
In the early morning, a ray of light appeared. Before Kou Ying's reinforcements arrived, Zhao You found that the two thousand northwest soldiers had disappeared from the southwest of Huangling on the tower. He was quite surprised at first, but soon discovered that there were more troops in the northwest direction. Only then did he realize that the two thousand soldiers had moved at night and spared half a circle. Although it was a bit strange, Zhao You only thought that the troops were going to gather with the main team. However, the two thousand soldiers and horses had been staying in the northwest direction and did not move, which made Zhao You feel quite confused.
Now Xu Chang is preparing to go down the mountain to reinforce, but Zhao You is worried about the signs of the two thousand Northwest Army. When he looked over, he found that the two thousand soldiers had already started to move. However, the direction of their movement was not approaching the main battlefield, but it seemed that they were going back to the southwest again.
Zhao You frowned, wondering what the hell was selling in this military gourd. Suddenly, he realized what he was, his body shook and said in a daze: "No, so that's how it is!"
