A deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, echoed across the desolate wilderness, now littered with corpses.
With reinforcements, Yamanaka Takuma led his troops in a fierce attack. The Japanese soldiers, who had been in a slump, seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, fighting fearlessly and roaring as they clashed with the Yan army.
Meanwhile, Shiho Tamiya and Atsushi Jizoin, each with their own troops, were also joining the battlefield. However, behind the Yan army, Qin Ze was constantly summoning troops, and their forces were growing rapidly!
The gathering of a large number of troops expanded the battlefield. At this moment, the area within a radius of several miles was filled with people fighting. The battlefield was in chaos, and the sound of weapons clashing was as dense as a sudden rain.
By this point, both sides had lost all tactics and could only rely on sheer numbers!
There can only be one victor; this life-or-death battle will inevitably end with one side completely wiped out.
At that moment, Murata Kosuke spurred his horse forward at breakneck speed, his face contorted with rage, and swung his sword forward!
With a "poof" sound!
A spurt of blood flew from the neck of an enemy infantryman, and the man fell to the ground with a thud. Murata Kosuke wiped the blood that had splattered on his eyelids and slashed at another enemy soldier with his sword!
But just as the sword was drawn, a loud neighing of a horse rang out.
A cavalryman charged out from the side, his entire body covered in armor, even his warhorse was clad in heavy armor.
The man on horseback held a steel whip, and with his eyes wide with rage, he lashed out at Murata Kosuke!
Murata Kosuke's heart skipped a beat. The bamboo-shaped steel whip looked extremely heavy at first glance. He dared not take it head-on and hurriedly pulled the reins to spur his horse away.
Immediately following, with a "whoosh," the steel whip struck the air, producing a loud crack, demonstrating the immense force of the blow.
"He's a formidable general!" Murata Kosuke frowned.
But at this moment, the warhorse under the iron cavalry suddenly exerted its strength and charged forward!
Kosuke Murata's expression changed; he had never expected that this heavily armored warhorse would be so swift.
The next instant, a loud "bang" rang out!
The armored horse crashed heavily into the horse under Murata Kosuke's crotch, followed by a shrill neigh.
Kosuke Murata pulled on the reins, trying to steady himself, and when he looked down, he saw a large pool of blood flowing from his horse's mouth, clearly indicating that the collision had seriously injured it.
Kosuke Murata could feel the horse's body shaking violently, as if it was about to collapse.
Just in time!
The iron cavalryman lashed out with his whip again!
Murata Kosuke's heart pounded wildly, and he hurriedly leaped off his horse!
The moment he jumped, with a "crack," the steel whip slammed into the horse's back, tearing open the flesh and creating a gruesome, bloody mess. The warhorse could no longer hold on and collapsed with a thud.
"call--"
Murata Kosuke, who had just managed to jump off his horse, was panting heavily, his heart pounding in his chest.
If that whip had struck me, it wouldn't have been as simple as just tearing my skin apart; it might have even broken my cervical vertebrae!
When Murata Kosuke looked at the iron cavalry again, a clear sense of apprehension appeared in his eyes, just as the iron cavalry charged forward once more.
"General, be careful!"
A shout came from the side; it was Yoshino Chido, who was riding up on horseback, holding a long halberd.
Faced with the charge of the armored horse, Murata Kosuke quickly dodged.
With a loud clang!
The iron cavalry rode past Murata Kosuke, smashing into a Japanese soldier behind him who had no time to react.
"ah!"
A scream escaped from the Japanese soldier who had fallen to the ground. The impact was so severe that he only managed to utter one cry before his head lolled to the side and he died.
"Who are you? State your name!" Seeing this, Murata Kosuke's anger burned in his chest. He bent down slightly, gripped his sword with both hands, and shouted at the iron cavalry.
The iron cavalryman remained silent, pulled on the reins, turned his horse around, and charged towards Murata Kosuke once more!
But Yoshino Chido had already arrived, his face contorted with rage, and he thrust his halberd at the iron cavalryman from the left.
Iron Cavalry had already sensed it, and when he saw the halberd coming, he swung his whip back and struck the halberd blade.
A crisp "click" sound!
A flash of cold light, like a bolt of lightning, and the crescent-shaped halberd blade snapped in two. The blade twirled rapidly in the air before embedding itself in the soil with a "crack."
Yoshino Chido's pupils contracted, and at that moment, his hand gripping the halberd felt a tremor coming from the blade, a tremor that made his thumb and forefinger feel numb.
Iron Cavalry raised his chin slightly, his narrowed eyes filled with indifference, as if he had just casually swung the whip.
But a leaping sound rang out beside the iron cavalryman. Murata Kosuke, wielding a long, sharp sword, leaped up and slashed at the cavalryman's neck from below.
The slash came incredibly fast and from a tricky angle, but the cavalryman remained unfazed. He loosened the reins and leaned back.
With a "snap," his body was bent at an extremely high angle, almost pressed against the horse's back.
Kosuke Murata hadn't expected the cavalry to react so quickly. His sword missed its mark, and before he could even land fully, the armored horse kicked out with one foot, striking his wrist!
As a sharp pain shot through him, Murata Kosuke gritted his teeth and gripped the hilt of the knife tightly to prevent it from slipping from his hand.
But at that moment, the iron cavalry had already straightened up!
A steel whip lashed out, aimed directly at Murata Kosuke's face as he landed!
In the blink of an eye, Murata Kosuke's pupils constricted, and he felt that he was going to die here today.
But then suddenly a long halberd came from the side and swung towards the steel whip!
