In the darkness, every time the heavy cavalry attacked with heavy infantry, the Roma Turks used the whistle to indicate the direction, accompanied by sharp whistles, dense arrows from the Turkic soldiers behind the stakes. Two generals were shot to death by arrows when attacking the Turkic defense line. The thick night covered the frozen pool of blood everywhere. This cold and tiny wound, if it was not treated in time, would lead to death. The wounded soldiers who were still moaning just now would soon turn into frozen corpses. Torches were shaking everywhere, the broken soldiers, the sound of horse hooves, and arrows were flying everywhere. The battle to rescue the Antioch army seemed both chaotic and particularly cruel.

Emperor Alexei's expression was colder than the north wind, and the shouts of killing in the east were much weaker. He seemed to see the Roma Turks rushing into the camp of the front army like a tide, chopping and killing the panicked soldiers like driving away sheep. As soon as the first battalion of troops retreated, Emperor Alexei urged another battalion of troops to rush up. Here, the camp of the Forward Column was only two miles away. You could even hear the loud killing sounds in the front army, but you couldn't rush over. Before you knew it, the emperor had sent too many troops to attack the defense line of the Turks.

The Turks were gradually dispatching the forces of the besieged column of the front army. The cavalry waved their scimitars and rushed towards the Lumei army one after another. The Turkic cavalry, which had solved the problem of the Antioch army, continued to reinforce from the east, oppressing the main force of the Lumei army to retreat step by step. At the same time, a considerable number of Turkic cavalry passed through a chaotic area of ​​large numbers of troops on both sides, detoured through the rugged mountain roads, avoiding the defense line set by the main force of the Lumei army on the main road, and attempted to reinforce the Turkic defense line that isolated the Lumei Emperor from the rear guard column.

However, the Turkic generals who led the troops were surprised to find that there were only thousands of troops defending the hill where Emperor Lumei was located. He made a quick decision and ordered that the hill where Emperor Lumei was located be immediately attacked, and sent an army to establish a defense line to the road behind him to prevent the main army of Lumei in front from approaching the emperor. The Turkic cavalry in the brigade began to gather under the hill where Emperor Alexae was temporarily stationed, while shooting arrows constantly, constantly testing the weakness of the defense line and trying to break through and attack. For the Turkic warriors, whether it was capturing Emperor Lumei or obtaining his head, it was a very high honor.

When he realized that the emperor was in danger, the Lumei army in front immediately divided a column to turn around and rushed back desperately. But in this short period of time, the Turks built several defense lines in the narrow area between the main force of the Lumei army and the hill where the emperor was. The Turkic cavalry dismounted and defended, tenaciously blocking the Lumei army's approach. The entire battlefield was in chaos, and the Turkic cavalry and the Lumei army were completely mixed together. Both sides seemed to be two wild beasts covered in wounds, biting each other constantly.

With the darkness, the large group of Turkic cavalry had successfully encircled, cutting off the connection between Emperor Lumei and the elite army of Lumei's main force. Countless iron helmets, armors, and scimitar blades reflected the fire. The small hill was covered with corpses, and countless Turkic cavalry also drove war horses to jump over these obstacles and rush out from the thick smoke emitted by the burned baggage. There were only less than 300 soldiers left in Chengying Camp, and archers appeared because of their strength.

The energy fell and his fingers were cut by the bowstring. The Xia State Imperial Guards fought for a night and were at the end of their strength. Although they were still calm, they kept firing arrows or riding horses to counterattack, and they were fierce and orderly, but their strength was much weaker. The captain Duan Huaixian ordered the soldiers not to get involved with the Turkic cavalry, but there were always times when they could not retreat in the melee. Several times of hand-to-hand contact, dozens of soldiers were chopped down by scimitars. The death of the two centurions made Duan Huaixian heartbroken.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Du Chujiao suddenly flashed out, aimed the bow and arrow at the Turkic cavalry, fired the arrow, and then retracted back to the back of the trunk. A magnificent war horse passed over his head with the sound of wind. Du Chujiao rolled on the spot and avoided the sword light that swept over his head. Before he could stand up, more Turkic war horses rushed over from him.

Du Chujiao pressed his back against a tree trunk that had been cut down, "As long as the caravan earns ten times the money, my incompetent sons will also explain it." A smile flashed in his eyes, "The Zhao army envoy should be safe and safe." He threw away the bow and arrow, pulled out the horizontal knife, leaned against the tree trunk, breathing the cold air in big mouths, and surrounded by Turkic cavalry like a tide.

There were more and more Turkic cavalry, and the Lumei army, which protected the emperor, had abandoned two lines of defense. The Imperial Guards were constantly building new lines of defense with baggage trucks, pickets, and even the bodies of men and horses, so they barely blocked the Turks. Now more than 50,000 main troops of the Lumei Empire are in the same dangerous situation as the front army. Some generals have suggested that His Majesty the Emperor give up his army and break out to the west under the escort of the imperial guard heavy cavalry, but Emperor Alexei himself also rejected this proposal that was enough to lead to the demise of the Komuning Dynasty.

Except for hundreds of heavy cavalry of the dismounted guards surrounded him, the other Lumei soldiers were in a situation of fighting on their own. The soldiers from both sides were entangled and fighting in a mess between the night and the fire. The war horses trampled on the injured soldiers, moaning everywhere, and some Lumei soldiers began to escape in panic. Some battalions were scattered by Turkic cavalry, and officers and soldiers were searching for each other. Some mercenary commanders began to shrink their teams with the attitude of preserving their strength, and looked at friendly forces indifferently.

The Turkic cavalry's eyes began to shine with ecstasy light. When the battle reached this level, the Turkic cavalry no longer cared about hovering and firing arrows. Dozens of cavalry urged their horses to head towards the Lumei army gathered in a group. The war horses, with huge inertia, rushed towards the defense line of the Lumei army.

The Xia State Imperial Guards have been guarding the emperor. With the slight fire, they fired arrows against the impacting Turkic cavalry under the cover of baggage vehicles and pickets. The Xia State sergeants were superb in arrow skills, and the arrows they emitted were as accurate as eyes, passing through the dark fog, and often screaming from a distance. The Xia State Imperial Guards' outstanding performance really won the attention of the old emperor. They were united, brave and disciplined, and the officers were also calm in the most intense battles, causing great damage to the Turkic cavalry at the lowest cost.

"It's a pity that there are too few troops like this." A trace of regret flashed in Alexei's eyes, "It's nothing to die in battle, and the empire can no longer have captured emperors." The emperor is already very old, so old that even in such a fierce battlefield, he can only sit on a thick purple robe and look down on the battlefield. The elite guards are being consumed by Turkic cavalry like a sea of ​​Turkic cavalry, as if they are placed on a millstone, and are about to be slowly ground to pieces.

Emperor Alexei stood up and pulled out his sword from his waist. The emperor died or was captured in battle, which meant the defeat of the battle, and the most elite army of the Lumei Empire would also be buried here with its emperor. "It's over." This idea came to the hearts of more and more Lumei soldiers.

This battle that determined the fate of the empire has slipped more and more into the abyss of despair. While endless fear is increasingly gripping people's hearts, a trumpet not far away is like the light of dawn that cut through the endless darkness. This is the military trumpet of the Lumei Army, the trumpet of the heavy cavalry and the trumpet of the charge.

A large group of cavalry showed up in the sight of both sides holding up the eagle flag. It was the vanguard of the rear army column who arrived on the battlefield in time. Faced with the situation where the Turkic cavalry completely lost its formation and was entangled with the main force of the Lumei Army, Zhao Xingde immediately suggested that the Prince of Lumei should not give the Turks time to reorganize their formation.

"We have walked more than ten miles under the obstruction of the Turks. Now, nothing can stop us and achieve the greatest victory. The most difficult battle has been completed, and it is our turn to do the rest. The Turks are vulnerable. His Royal Highness ordered you to charge immediately, defeat them, chase them, and destroy them!"

Zhao Xingde raised his horse's spear and the war horseman stood up. Under John Komuning's jealous eyes, he shouted loudly with all his might: "Charge!!"

The cavalry did not care about why His Highness the Crown Prince handed over the eternal speech to the messenger. They were extremely excited for the brilliant victory at their fingertips and urged their horses to start the charge.

The ground trembled violently, and the heavy cavalry charged in a battalion, which was already in chaos and was completely unstoppable by the Turkic cavalry, which was restrained by the Lumei army everywhere on the battlefield. The Lumei army and the Turkic army were actually fighting in a long and east-west narrow area between the mountains on both sides. The Turkic cavalry defeated by the heavy cavalry had no time to pause or reorganize, and could only retreat along the narrow road. The rescued Lumei army, whether it was the cavalry or the infantry, immediately joined the ranks of charge and pursuit.

From west to east, the entire battlefield seemed to be a domino that was constantly being pushed down. The fleeing Turks and the pursuing Lumei army were getting bigger and bigger like snowballs, and finally involved all the troops on both sides on the battlefield. After hearing the news of the defeat in front, Rom Sultan evacuated the battlefield without hesitation under the protection of the Imperial Guards. Other Turkic generals also desperately led their troops to break off contact with the Lumei army. The situation of the battle quickly turned into a real fleeing and pursuit. All Turks with horses left the battlefield as quickly as possible, and the remaining those who could not escape became prisoners and dead.
