Chapter 685:
The Clash of Iron Hooves Five days had passed in the blink of an eye. For the large group led by Yan Sheng, it was a time when they were in a state of confusion.
However, Yan Sheng had made up his mind and was no longer hesitant. Instead, he was determined to go all out.
When he gave the order, he might have simply wanted to twist off Long Potian's head and use it as a chamber pot, but after a while, when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he found that he really had to do so.
Long Potian betrayed him. If he did nothing, what would Long Aotian and Long Xiaotian think? This incident made Yan Sheng distrust the remaining two of the four dragon generals. If he couldn't deal with Long Potian, the traitor, there was no guarantee that Long Aotian and Long Xiaotian would not have other intentions.
Even if it was to intimidate his subordinates, he had to kill the traitor Long Potian! As for the fact that the situation would change after this transfer, Yan Sheng did not think too much about it.
But just like Zhou Xu said, no matter if the other party thought of it or not, once the other party did it, the formation of a new situation would become inevitable, so they had to stop it! It was getting close to evening, and after almost a day of rushing, the large army was now exhausted.
However, at this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from a distance.
"All troops on alert!!"
The sound of the horn symbolizing the alarm echoed, and the tense atmosphere made the soldiers, including Yan Sheng, almost forget their physical fatigue and they all became extremely alert.
At the same time, with the sound of horse hooves approaching in the distance, the Centaur army led by Drogo soon came into their sight.
In the past, the appearance of Centaur mercenaries would have been enough to double their pressure.
But the situation is very different now.
From the perspective of the large force led by Yan Sheng, the Centaur troops on the opposite side have been frequently repelled by their cavalry troops in recent months, which makes them now very confident and not panicking at all.
There was no need for Yan Sheng to speak during this period. After noticing the existence of the Centaur mercenaries on the opposite side, the cavalry troops led by Jie Liancheng immediately filed out and stepped forward to intercept and kill them, blocking the charge of the Centaur mercenaries on the opposite side.
Although he was almost blinded by anger before, he did not forget the existence of the Centaur mercenaries on the opposite side.
Now that their large army has left the city, the possibility of being attacked in the wild is very high. He is not stupid, how could he not be prepared?
He had already informed Jie Liancheng that as soon as the Centaur mercenaries appeared, he would lead his troops to meet them and block their charge.
Now the cavalry units of both sides charged together again. After many "fights", Xie Liancheng and Zhuogo and his men now cooperated well and fought together quickly.
As soon as the weapons collided, Xie Liancheng found an opportunity and asked.
"What is the situation now?"
"Your Majesty, prepare to intercept this large army halfway. Even if you cannot completely destroy them, you must severely damage them and prevent Yan Sheng from taking Xishan City or Anling City."
Zhuogo knew that Jie Liancheng was trustworthy, so he spoke the truth without reservation.
"So what should I do now? Revolt directly? Fight with you guys?"
"No need. Yan Sheng still holds the truth in his hand. We may not be able to kill him this time. Before that, it is better to keep your identity secret. We just need to run away."
If they could kill Yan Sheng, they would definitely kill him.
But the problem is that the other party not only has the teleportation mantra, but also the thunder and lightning mantra. No one is sure of killing him at this moment, so there is naturally no need to expose Jie Liancheng in advance.
As they were talking, they were fighting farther and farther away, avoiding Yan Sheng's sight, so that Xie Liancheng could do nothing, otherwise it would be unacceptable.
During this period, the Centaur mercenaries also cooperated skillfully and took away the opposing cavalry troops as well.
This scene fell into the eyes of Yan Sheng and others who were not far away. They thought that the Centaur mercenaries had been defeated by them. In order to boost morale, Yan Sheng took the lead in cheering.
After hearing this, the soldiers around responded one after another. The momentum was quite strong, as if they had already won a victory. This also made Yan Sheng more confident.
At this moment, he was looking into the distance, waiting for Jie Liancheng to come back and report after defeating the Centaur mercenaries.
[This person ran too far, and even his shadow could hardly be seen. ]
Standing on the carriage, Yan Sheng scanned the area, trying to catch a glimpse of Jie Liancheng and the others.
"Wait a minute! That's..."
As his eyes swept across, a large cloud of rolling dust in the distance caught the corner of Yan Sheng's eye.
This discovery made Yan Sheng's heart tighten. He didn't even have time to think about it and his eyes quickly locked onto it.
Almost at the same time, in the wildly rising dust, a series of galloping figures broke into his field of vision.
The clanging of iron hooves brought with them a 'rumbling' sound, which, one after another, was like an invisible hammer, hitting the heart of every soldier here, causing the cheers here to come to an abrupt end in an instant.
This was a cavalry team that was completely unfamiliar to them.
Those cavalrymen held long spears and were covered in black metal armor. Under the cold winter sun, they emitted a frightening cold luster! Before they got close enough, an indescribable fear began to surge in the hearts of countless soldiers.
Yan Sheng, who noticed this situation, felt something was wrong and quickly used his mantra to calm the soldiers and stabilize the morale of the army.
"Everyone calm down! The enemy cavalry has at most two or three hundred soldiers, while we have a full five thousand! The difference in strength is so huge, and the enemy has no infantry to contain them from the front. If that small number of cavalry dares to charge, they will be dead!"
With the help of the power of mantra, Yan Sheng's words reached the ears of almost every soldier under his command.
I have to say that it was somewhat effective. Coupled with the spread of the power of mantras, it not only relieved the psychological pressure on the soldiers, but also managed to stabilize their morale, which was about to fall.
Yan Sheng seized the opportunity and quickly issued follow-up orders, directing the infantry to deploy into a fighting formation and improve their ability to resist the cavalry charge.
As for where this black-armored cavalry came from? How could he have the energy to think about it now? !
And it was during this period of time that the galloping black-armored cavalry quickly narrowed the distance between them to the point where they were about to burst into speed and launch a charge.
In an instant, thunderous slogans, carrying with them a determination to face death head-on, erupted on the battlefield!
"The will to break through the enemy lines!"
“There is death and no life!!!”
