The reeds tied to their bodies flickered wildly; the faster they ran, the more intense the flames burned, the more pain the warhorses felt, and the faster they ran!
After repeating this process several times, the warhorses quickly increased their speed, moving with the force of thunder.
not good!
Yuan Shao and He Jin were greatly alarmed.
Liu Wei is too cruel; he doesn't care about his warhorse at all!
"Shoot the arrows! Quickly, shoot them down!"
Yuan Shao shouted.
The soldiers were terrified when they saw so many warhorses galloping towards them, but they were not ordered to retreat. They could only grit their teeth and frantically pick up their bows and crossbows to shoot arrows.
But these arrows were nothing compared to the flames burning on his body.
Unless a fatal shot is hit, the warhorse will gallop even faster.
These soldiers were only a hundred or two meters away from the reeds when they were quickly brought to the front of the warhorses.
"Oh my god! Run!"
Seeing the warhorses that were several heads taller than them, menacing, foaming at the mouth, and emitting mournful cries, the soldiers could no longer hold back and dropped their bows and arrows to run away.
A hundred mad horses charged forward, breaking through Yuan Shao's well-prepared formation. At least a hundred men died in confusion from the collision and trampling of the galloping horses.
I thought things would be fine after the galloping horse passed, but little did I know that a troop of cavalry was following behind.
Holding their swords high, they charged through the enemy lines as the galloping horses broke their formation.
A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole!
Moreover, the army consisted of only a thousand infantrymen and five hundred cavalrymen.
These cavalrymen following behind the galloping horses were like tigers among sheep, slaughtering Yuan Shao and routing his army.
All the elaborate schemes they devised were foiled by the opponent!
Seeing the enemy cavalry charging towards him, He Jin turned and fled. If he didn't leave, this great general would probably be killed by some unknown soldiers!
When He Jin fled, Yuan Shao followed suit!
As soon as Yuan Shao fled, Chunyu Qiong and Bao Xin also ran away.
Those five hundred cavalrymen had long been terrified by the Imperial Guards, and at the first sign of movement, they ran faster than rabbits.
Those thousand infantrymen were pitiful, like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
The fifty guards who ran to the mudflats initially knew their mission was complete when they saw the fire, and thought they could take advantage of the chaos to pick up the scraps.
So they turned their horses around and waited by the reeds for the enemy to rush out.
Suddenly an arrow shot out, and the head guard fell off his horse before he could even utter a sound. As the others looked at each other in disbelief, seventeen riders charged out like lightning.
A flash of light, like a cold moon, swirled around the necks of the guards like a ghost, followed by a torrent of blood as they fell headfirst to the ground.
With success on both fronts, Liu Wei achieved a resounding victory.
Fifty guards were almost entirely killed by the seventeen riders of Yanyun.
The thousand infantrymen were slaughtered by the Imperial Guard, leaving corpses strewn across the field; less than a tenth escaped.
Under the protection of those five hundred cavalrymen, He Jin and Yuan Shao fled in panic for ten miles before stopping.
"Listen up, you inside! Open the door immediately, or we're going to attack!"
Liu Wei summoned the Imperial Guard to the outside of the fortress and made a call for Li Ying to open the gate.
"Sir, what should we do?"
His subordinates all asked Li Ying questions.
Li Ying witnessed the entire process from the castle and was completely shocked.
This prince is amazing! He managed to defeat the two thousand soldiers brought by the General and the Commandant of the Capital Region with only one hundred horsemen!
He didn't charge into their three hundred-man position during the day; it seems he held back.
"The enemy is too powerful, and we are no match for them. We have no choice but to abandon the fortress and flee!"
The general and the commander of the capital region's two thousand troops were defeated, so it's reasonable that his three or four hundred men couldn't hold the line!
