Chapter 833 A Great Victory (Second Update)
The shock and impact of this scene were immense—the dark, swarming Black Wind Riders, like molten iron, surged toward the Nangong family's 80,000 rebel troops!
Large-scale military operations are conducted in formations, typically with archers and chariots in front, and cavalry leading the charge and infantry following behind.
Chang Wei planned to deploy the main battleground near the canyon, and the Nangong family's cavalry and chariots were naturally stationed there.
According to the original plan, as long as the Black Wind Riders encountered the Snowfield Heavenly Silkworm Silk, they wouldn't even need to lift a finger.
The problem was that he wasn't entirely sure his lieutenant would be able to successfully lure the Black Wind Riders over.
If the deputy general and his cavalry were wiped out in the canyon, and the Black Wind Riders were waiting to attack from there, then the Snowfield Silkworm Silk would be useless.
Just in case, he still made this the main battlefield.
This arrangement effectively opened the door for the Black Wind Riders, welcoming them to come and reap the rewards.
Cavalry and infantry are not on the same level of combat strength, let alone when they encounter the Black Wind Cavalry, the most powerful cavalry among the six kingdoms!
Chang Wei didn't even need to look to imagine how many troops his side would lose!
Chang Wei coldly looked at his deputy general beside him: "Didn't you realize they didn't have many troops when you fought them?"
"I..." The lieutenant choked.
Overwhelmed by the Black Wind Riders' imposing presence in the canyon, he was terrified and lost his composure. He only hoped to leave as soon as possible, fearing that he would die at the hands of the Black Wind Riders if he fought any more. He had no time to count how many troops the enemy actually had.
He waved his arm and pointed to the quiet hillside, saying, "It's their commander! He was shouting so loudly! It was making my head spin!"
This is one of the reasons.
Cheng Fugui, single-handedly, commanded the force of a thousand troops, making it seem as if the entire Black Wind Riders were following behind him.
Chang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "You haven't even seen the commander of the Black Wind Camp, how can you be sure that all the Black Wind Cavalry are there!"
"I...this..."
He was driven crazy by Cheng Fugui's noise, okay?
Now that things have come to this, it would be unreasonable for Chang Wei not to realize that he has fallen into a trap.
The ambush in the canyon was just a smokescreen; in reality, the main force of the Black Wind Cavalry had already circled around to the rear of Nangong's army.
The commander was shouting and cursing, making such a commotion just to distract them and prevent them from noticing the approaching main force of the Black Wind Cavalry on the other side.
How did they come up with the idea of going around to the rear to fight?
Aren't they afraid that the Black Wind Riders on this side of the canyon will be completely wiped out by the Nangong family's army?
unless--
The Black Wind Riders had anticipated that they wouldn't be able to get through!
Chang Wei glanced at the faintly visible snow-covered silkworm silk ahead, then at the Black Wind Camp cavalry who had suddenly hidden behind the hillside and stopped moving forward. A bold guess suddenly came to his mind.
The boy had guessed he would use this move!
But how is that possible?
Even the head of the Nangong family was unaware that he possessed Snowfield Heavenly Silkworm Silk.
Who exactly is this boy, and why does he know so much about him?
There was no time to think about these things. Screams rose from the rear, and the Black Wind Cavalry killed people as easily as taking candy from a bag. If this continued, the army would be defeated!
"Find someone to dismantle the Snowfield Heavenly Silkworm Silk!" he ordered his deputy.
This thing isn't easy to take apart; it's impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to knives and spears. Plus, to prevent it from slipping, it's tied in a tight knot!
Those wooden pillars were also specially made!
This is what it means to draw a circle around oneself and confine oneself to a prison.
Chang Wei's head was throbbing!
He could only order his lieutenant to find a way to dismantle it. He wanted to go around from both sides to kill the Black Wind Riders hiding behind the hillside, but the perfect hunting location he had chosen... was surrounded by lakes on both sides!
How do I get around this?
Want to go diving?
Chang Wei suppressed the waves of dizziness that were hitting him and coldly drew his longsword.
"All cavalry, listen to my command and follow me into battle!"
"Chariots, prepare! Archers, follow!"
Chariots paired with archers are a good way to deal with cavalry, but chariots are too slow to move, so he has to fight the Black Wind Cavalry first.
Chang Wei took the lead, leading the Nangong family's cavalry through the infantry ranks.
The Nangong family's army was not weak; they had always followed the training methods of the Xuanyuan family. However, this advantage became utterly vulnerable when they encountered the real Xuanyuan army.
The strength of the Xuanyuan Army is ingrained in their very bones; the heat that surges through their chests the moment the Flying Eagle Banner flutters in the wind is enough to scorch their internal organs.
Chang Wei's arrival helped the Nangong family regain some of their backbone, and the scattered army gradually rallied under his command.
But this still couldn't stop the Black Wind Riders' hunt. The invincible Black Wind Riders were like giant beasts from the abyss, or demons from purgatory. No rebel could escape their butcher's knife.
Chang Wei watched as his soldiers fell one by one, his eyes turning bloodshot with rage!
Meanwhile, the deputy general was directing several soldiers to remove the silk from the Snowfield Heavenly Silkworm. Using weapons was not an option—with one slash, the blade broke in two.
Burning it didn't work.
He tried to chop the wooden pillar, but the pillar was harder than iron. Even after his sword chipped it, it didn't budge!
Finally, the lieutenant had a flash of inspiration: "Dig! Dig out the pillar for me!"
call out!
An arrow flew by and shot down a Nangong soldier to the ground!
The lieutenant's eyes flickered, and he looked sharply towards the opposite side, where he saw Cheng Fugui, Li Jin, and Tong Zhong leading a large group of cavalrymen who were firing arrows at them.
Anyone who gets close to the pillar, they shoot one; anyone who gets close to two, they shoot both!
The lieutenant grabbed a shield to shield himself, gritting his teeth as he said, "Are they taking advantage of us because we don't have archers?!"
Depend on!
No, there really isn't!
General Chang Wei took it away!
The situation on the battlefield can change in an instant, and a moment's carelessness can lead to irreversible consequences.
This is not to say that Chang Wei lacks the ability to see the big picture; it's just that Gu Jiao's appearance is the biggest variable in this battle.
Chang Wei had seen countless people, but he had never faced an enemy like this before. The other party seemed to be very familiar with his methods, yet he knew nothing about the other party.
I thought he was just a martial arts prodigy, but who knew he was also a brilliant military strategist!
Chang Wei stared at the boy who had killed countless Nangong soldiers with bloodshot eyes. The boy was so fierce that no one dared to approach him, but anyone he caught up with could not escape his hunt!
Chang Wei led his cavalry to surround Gu Jiao.
Seeing so many people rushing towards her, Gu Jiao showed no fear. She grabbed the reins with one hand and gripped the red-tasseled spear tightly with the other, her eyes surging with murderous intent: "Go!"
Black Wind King unleashed his full power, accelerated, and charged domineeringly into the cavalry ranks of Nangong's army.
The Nangong family's warhorses were terrified by the Black Wind King and scattered in all directions. The cavalry formation that had finally managed to break through was instantly scattered.
Gu Jiao and Black Wind King pursued their prey.
But that's not the worst part.
Chang Wei tried to kill Gu Jiao several times, but was stopped by the Black Wind Riders at all costs. Then he discovered something incredible.
These Black Wind Riders, though seemingly fighting amongst themselves, were actually in an organized and planned manner, driving the entire Nangong army towards the canyon.
They encircled Nangong's army, leaving the terrified soldiers with nowhere to escape and forcing them to retreat desperately.
And the result of retreating is—
Chang Wei whirled around and looked at the Nangong soldiers who were charging forward recklessly: "Stop—all of you stop—"
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Unaware of the danger, the rebels charged headlong into the Snowfield Heavenly Silkworm Silk—
That was clearly a tactic used to deal with the Black Wind Riders!
Why... why did it ultimately fall on our own people?!
Chang Wei let out a mournful and furious roar like a ferocious beast!
Gu Jiao raised her gun and killed a rebel soldier who had ambushed Black Wind King!
The situation seems very favorable at the moment, but only she knows the truth.
Everyone's stamina is nearing its limit. Although it's not outwardly apparent, continuing the fight will greatly increase the casualties of the Black Wind Riders.
Gu Jiao tightened her grip on the reins: "Boss!"
Black Wind King understood, and following Gu Jiao's force, it changed direction and galloped towards General Chang Wei.
Its strength was almost exhausted.
After traveling for so many days, not only the people but also the horses were exhausted.
All the Black Wind Riders fought with all their might, disregarding their own lives and even suffering internal injuries.
Nearby, Black Wind Riders were already coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.
—He collapsed from exhaustion.
Chang Wei swung his sword at a black-horse-riding warhorse, but Gu Jiao parried with her spear, blocking his powerful and swift attack with a clang.
Chang Wei turned his head and met the boy's cold and composed eyes.
The young man said calmly, "Your opponent is me!"
Chang Wei made a feint and thrust his sword toward Gu Jiao's heart!
His fighting style was almost a sneak attack.
To be honest, he felt ashamed to use such underhanded tactics against younger people.
However, the situation is critical. If the commander of the Black Wind Camp is not taken down soon, Nangong's army will really lose this battle!
Gu Jiao was struck by his longsword.
His eyes lit up!
He knew that no one could dodge this move!
However, the next second, his expression froze.
Why, why can't it be pierced?
Even Master Han's sword couldn't pierce my armor, so how could your sword be sharper than his?
Gu Jiao calmly watched him, and under his stunned gaze, she raised her red-tasseled spear, piercing his hard armor and striking his chest—
