——
On the dim grassland, the autumn wind howled, and countless arrows fell from the sky, their sharp tips fiercely piercing the bodies of the Hu cavalrymen.
The powerful force made these arrows unstoppable, piercing through leather armor, flesh, and even penetrating the bodies of some people.
Countless Hu soldiers fell from their horses, some even riddled with arrows, looking like hedgehogs. Bei Yangmang and his generals hid in the very center of the army, desperately trying to block the arrows.
An army of over 100,000 has already lost 60,000 to 70,000 men to arrows before even engaging in direct combat!
Seeing the arrows raining down relentlessly, the adjutant was extremely anxious and hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, we are pursued from the front and ambushed from behind. They have stretched out such a long battle line to surround us completely. If this continues, we will all perish here today!"
"Your Majesty, let us lead all our forces and break through in one direction!"
Now that things had come to this, Bei Yangmang knew that almost all of his previous decisions had been wrong. Without hesitation, he quickly said:
"Good! All troops, listen to my command and attack the west flank!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Hu cavalrymen, while defending against the arrows, began to charge westward.
Bei Yangmang understood that in the current situation, they were no match for each other in a head-on fight; the enemy was like monsters.
These archers already prevented them from retaliating, let alone the heavily armored cavalry behind them.
He couldn't even imagine what price he would pay when facing these heavily armored cavalry.
But no matter what, as long as they escape from the encirclement on the west side, they will have a chance to survive!
On the west side of the Beiku Grassland, if you keep running along it, you will reach the territory of the Dayuan tribe. Now, the only way to gain a place is to join their army.
Although Bei Yangmang was unwilling, he understood that this was the only way.
At that moment, Qin Ze, riding his iron cavalry, saw the Hu cavalry begin their charge to the west and immediately shouted:
"Gather them! Leave them all behind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry began to close the encirclement, leaving a desolate wasteland wherever their hooves trod!
Upon seeing the movements of the Hu cavalry, Wei Qing immediately issued orders, commanding the heavy cavalry to begin retreating, while the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the southeast flank quickly closed in.
Of course, the archers did not stop shooting arrows during this process, and the Northern Yang Mang army was rapidly losing men under the arrows.
Time passed second by second, and the sun had completely set.
As the full moon gradually rose, under its bright light, the grassland was littered with corpses.
After paying a heavy price, Bei Yangmang finally broke into the encirclement on the west side!
Bei Yangmang's arm was injured, and blood was dripping down his arm. He had also been hit by an arrow. Now, his remaining troops numbered only 30,000 to 40,000.
Among these few soldiers, many were wounded by arrows and had become disabled.
Bei Yangmang's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth clenched, and he urged his horse on with all his might.
"Quickly! Charge with me! Scatter their troops!" Bei Yangmang shouted.
At that moment, he finally saw the figure among the heavily armored cavalry.
Prince Zhenbei, Qin Ze!
Upon seeing Qin Ze, Bei Yangmang felt a surge of anger rising in his chest. Just yesterday at this time, he commanded an army of over 100,000 and was having a lively bonfire feast in the barracks. But in just one day, he had fallen to this state.
Overwhelmed with rage, Bei Yangmang roared at Qin Ze:
"Qin Ze! Don't be so smug! You will pay for everything you've done to us today, tenfold in the future!"
"From now on, you will never have a peaceful day again!"
Across from him, Qin Ze listened to Bei Yangmang's roar, his eyes narrowed, and he sneered:
"In the future? What future?"
"I, Qin Ze, will make you pay a hundredfold for the evil deeds you Hu Ma have committed over the years!"
"kill!"
At a command, the heavily armored cavalry, wielding long spears, charged towards the Northern Hu soldiers like an iron torrent!
Bei Yangmang roared, "Cover me! Charge with all your might and tear open a breach!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Mabing, relying on his numerical advantage, launched a full-scale charge toward the west, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
200 meters...
150 meters...
50 meters...
"ah!"
Finally, after the fastest charging Hu soldier let out a scream, the two groups of soldiers collided instantly!
With this collision, the Northern Hu soldiers and horses were instantly thrown into chaos!
Before the fully armored Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, these barbarian soldiers were as fragile as tofu. Cold spears pierced their bodies, and their internal organs fell out through the pierced chests.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's warhorses were even more helpless against the Northern Barbarian soldiers; how could their fragile weapons pierce through their incredibly strong armor!
This iron legion swept across with overwhelming force!
Under the iron hooves, the Hu cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Not only were they unable to advance, but they were even pushed back by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
Surrounded by Hu soldiers, Bei Yangmang was pale and drenched in sweat.
He knew this heavily armored cavalry was strong and difficult to break through, but he didn't expect them to be this powerful!
They were like an iron wall covered with spikes, advancing inch by inch. With each step forward, countless barbarian soldiers lay dead on the spot!
How can we possibly break through now? We're practically being surrounded and killed by them!
Just as he was filled with fear, a loud shout suddenly came from behind:
"You scoundrel who sells his head under false pretenses! Where do you think you're going!"
Bei Yangmang suddenly turned around and saw a burly man leading a cavalry charge towards them.
The newcomer was none other than Wei Qing, who commanded ten thousand elite cavalry.
Just then, another loud shout came from ahead:
"Charge! All troops, attack!"
Bei Yangmang turned his head again, only to see a young general holding a long spear, shouting loudly!
The two iron cavalry forces finally converged at this moment, and the iron net began to tighten!
The Hu cavalry, numbering only tens of thousands, became prey in this iron net!
The final battle began. The heavily armored cavalry charged forward relentlessly, their lances stained crimson, their armor soaked in blood and bits of flesh...
The full moon gradually climbed higher, finally rising into the sky.
Several hours later, the fighting on the grassland came to an end.
Bei Yangmang was covered in blood, with many spears piercing his body. He hung his head and knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
Just then, a figure came into his cloudy eyes.
Bei Yangmang struggled to lift his head and look at the person walking towards him.
But the next instant, a whooshing sound came.
"puff!"
The newcomer was Qin Ze, who wielded the Breaking Formation Halberd and beheaded the Northern Yang barbarian with a single blow!
The heads rolling on the ground signaled the end of the battle.
It was already late at night...
