In the Great Xia Dynasty, Lin Mo, who had transmigrated to become the son of the founding Grand Marshal, found his family suspected by the Empress. Their military power was stripped away, his fathe...
Tius's mood instantly plummeted, because the arrival of this massive army was truly unbelievable.
Judging from the direction from which this Great Xia reinforcement came, they must have come from Anyang.
Could it be that those barbarian allies have been completely annihilated by the Great Xia army?
To be honest, Tius disliked Bjorn and his Viking army because the Romans in ancient Western history were inherently arrogant.
In their view, everyone except their own people is a barbarian.
The Vikings, clad in animal skins, wielding battle axes, and with their minds set on plundering, were the epitome of barbarians!
However, despite looking down on him, Tius still acknowledged the opponent's fighting prowess.
Titus even imagined how troublesome it would be to fight this Viking army!
How could such a powerful Viking force simply let the Xia reinforcements come to their aid without doing anything about it?
“I told you those barbarians were unreliable!” Tius’s men cursed. “I really don’t know what His Majesty is thinking. Why does he have to consider them allies?”
Tius himself found it strange that these Viking allies had allied with him.
I don't have time to think about it in detail.
The arrival of the Xia reinforcements revealed a fact to Tius.
Next, they will face an extremely difficult battle.
The Byzantine general who was dueling with Yue Fei narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the Xia reinforcements.
The sheer force of the approaching army made him uneasy.
His Byzantine heavy armored cavalry unit was virtually invincible, utterly defeating other European countries.
But today, they suffered a great loss in front of the Great Xia infantry.
Moreover, due to overconfidence, Emperor Constantine only sent 10,000 armored cavalry to Anyang this time.
Right now, Yue Fei's infantry force is still not dealt with, and another Xia reinforcement has arrived.
Moreover, their numbers, momentum, and level of equipment were all extremely high.
In the past, if the enemy was no match for him, he would hardly have been interested.
Only a worthy opponent can make the killing more enjoyable and the conquest more fulfilling!
Facing such a formidable opponent would surely excite him.
But now...
And Tius clearly had the same idea.
He frowned, then shouted, "Break through! Retreat, go back and reorganize the troops, bring more men to fight again tomorrow!"
"What? Retreat?" A bearded general was immediately shocked.
The Byzantine Empire's army, which was at the height of its power, was actually retreating.
You know, in Europe, they have been expanding their territory and beating other countries until they were left with their teeth.
Now they've actually retreated without a fight?
"Yeah, why don't you fight?"
Tius ignored him, simply pulling on the reins to turn his horse around, and said:
"Why fight? We've already fought this far. If we continue fighting these aggressive people, wouldn't that just give them an advantage?"
"Break through!"
As soon as Tius finished speaking, the generals who were not convinced by him had no choice but to retreat. They moved quickly and without any panic, and retreated in an orderly manner.
The general who was dueling with Yue Fei glanced back at his opponent and then planned to flee.
Although Yue Fei's Beiwei Army was extremely powerful, it was primarily composed of infantry.
Two legs can't outrun four legs, making the pursuit extremely difficult.
At this moment, Yue Fei smiled slightly and said, "You can't escape!"
You think you could let Yue Fei, the foremost of the "Four Generals of the Restoration" of the Southern Song Dynasty, escape?
With a wave of his hand, he ordered his Beiwei Army to move to the sides, making way for Lin Mo's reinforcements to facilitate their pursuit.
"My lord, the main road to the west has been blocked by my men. The bandits have no way to escape!"
At this moment, Lin Mo, who was in charge of the five hundred most elite Imperial Guards, couldn't help but grin.
His smile was cold and terrifying.
In that gloomy face, only endless killing intent remained in his eyes.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "So many Imperial Guards have been replaced, but apart from the last time we dealt with Wei Maozhen, we haven't fought a single battle."
"Hehe, now it's time to test their true strength!"
The next moment, Lin Mo suddenly looked up and said in a loud voice, "The enemy is trying to escape, we should pursue and annihilate them!"
"kill!"
The Imperial Guards lowered their spurs, and the warhorses let out a painful neigh before charging forward with all their might.
At this moment, both Tius and Yue Fei were shocked by Lin Mo's actions.
Because Lin Mo took the lead, running at the very front of the army...
Not only that, he only brought a few hundred men with him in pursuit!
Indeed, the tens of thousands of troops behind Lin Mo had stopped and were resting on the spot.
Only five hundred fully armed cavalrymen followed Lin Mo in pursuit.
Yue Fei narrowed his eyes, "My lord, you...you are a true hero!"
Even Yue Fei couldn't help but praise him in his heart!
At that moment, Lin Mo was thinking, "If my Nightmare Cavalry were still around, you would know what cruelty truly means!"
He raised his arms and shouted, "Leave them!"
"Fire arrows! Fire arrows!"
At the command, the sound of bowstrings being drawn rang out simultaneously!
"Bang bang bang!"
In an instant, hundreds of arrows were released from the bowstring.
Upon seeing this, Yue Fei and his Beiwei Army were terrified, their eyes filled with shock!
"What? That far? They're firing arrows?"
The pursuing Xia cavalry were at least four or five hundred meters away from the Byzantine troops.
