Although the number of people is small, their appearance at this time carries special significance.
Because Gao Lan dispatched 500 cavalrymen there.
The original cavalry force of one thousand operated with remarkable fluidity in coordination.
Five hundred cavalrymen appeared from the rear, which immediately disrupted the local balance.
More importantly, their attack was directed at the central army headquarters where Gao Lan was located.
Gao Lan was shocked; he never expected that his opponent still had a trump card up his sleeve.
At this point, he had already played all his cards, meaning he was now playing with his cards face up.
Furthermore, he has no more trump cards left.
Meanwhile, the five hundred cavalrymen they had dispatched had already reached Zhang Yan's side.
Cavalry posed a greater threat than foot soldiers.
Although Zhang Yan's cavalry has now undergone a complete re-equipment, there is still a considerable gap in combat effectiveness compared to the regular army's cavalry.
Zhang Yan had already cursed Gao Lan's ancestors a thousand times in her heart.
Why target him specifically?
Despite his cursing, Zhang Yan had no choice but to retreat several dozen steps to break free from the infantry's entanglement and focus all his efforts on dealing with the charging cavalry.
"Charge with all your might!"
Although it was definitely too late to call those five hundred cavalrymen back.
However, Gao Lan immediately discovered the crux of the problem.
These twenty-odd riders should be the leader of the opposing side. Judging from their attire, it is highly likely that the King of Clouds, whom Tian Kai had just summoned to pay his respects, is among them.
He really has a big heart; he thinks he can stop his five hundred cavalrymen's charge with just over twenty riders and the silver-spear-wielding young general who killed his two younger brothers.
As long as we defeat all twenty of them and capture the King of Clouds, even if we suffer heavy losses in the end, we can still turn defeat into victory.
He had no way back; he could only fight with his back against the wall, hoping to survive by putting himself in a do-or-die situation.
So Gao Lan gritted his teeth, brandished his gun, and led the charge towards Liu Wei and his men.
As for his back, they completely ignored it!
The appearance of 500 Guan Ning cavalrymen on the battlefield greatly boosted the morale of everyone on Liu Wei's side.
The Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, clad in heavy armor, mounted on two horses, and wielding heavy weapons such as wolf-tooth halberds, were equipped with repeating crossbows. Their endurance in combat surpassed even that of Yao Guangxiao's Duoyan Three Guards and Three Thousand Battalions.
The main weapon of the Guan Ning cavalry is the musket; if it were to appear here, it would be contrary to the Heavenly Gang. For the sake of the plot, it's best to stick to melee weapons.
From the moment they appeared two miles behind Gao Lan's cavalry, they were destined to awe the entire audience.
The warhorses galloped like thunder, kicking up clouds of dust.
They covered a distance of two miles in an instant.
Gao Lan was surrounded by enemies on all sides. The knights who had been spurred on by his promise of promotion and wealth showed fear in their faces just by looking at his imposing aura.
They hurriedly spurred their horses and went into battle.
But the moment they made contact, they were torn to shreds as easily as if they were dry leaves.
Five hundred Guan Ning cavalrymen unleashed a barrage of crossbow bolts, and the Zhengding cavalrymen fell like haystacks.
The wolf-toothed cleaver swept across, and one by one, they were beaten until they spat out blood.
In just a few breaths, more than two hundred Zhen Ding cavalrymen were killed on the spot.
Soon, the vanguard of the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry broke through layer after layer, and with two hundred men remaining, they reached Gao Lan's rear.
"Zilong, now is the time to capture and kill Gao Lan!"
The appearance of the Guan Ning cavalry immediately reversed the stalemate on the battlefield.
Seeing that victory was within his grasp, Liu Wei knew that if the killing continued, only the soldiers of the Han Dynasty would die tragically.
Only by capturing and killing Gao Lan can this inexplicable war be ended as soon as possible.
At first, they wanted Gao Lan to surrender voluntarily, but Gao Lan wouldn't listen at all.
So Liu Wei sent Zhao Yun out for a one-on-one duel, intending to capture Gao Lan alive through a contest of wits.
At the same time, a plan to launch a full-scale attack was prepared. If Zhao Yun could not be captured alive, Gao Lan would be completely defeated by force.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun killed Gao Lan's two younger brothers, which aroused Gao Lan's anger, causing him to order his troops to join the battle.
After fighting for more than fifteen minutes, the Guan Ning cavalry appeared and had taken control of the battlefield.
Therefore, Liu Wei ordered Zhao Yun to keep an eye on Gao Lan, and emphasized: "Kill him or capture him alive, do your best."
He didn't want Zhao Yun to feel any more burdened.
With Liu Wei's current forces, defeating a mere three thousand infantry and cavalry from Zhen Ding would be extremely difficult.
This is not what Liu Wei wanted to see!
What Liu Wei didn't know was that Gao Lan's three thousand infantry and cavalry were as powerful as Qu Yi's suicide squad.
Upon receiving Liu Wei's order to act freely, Zhao Yun roared and with a flick of his spear, stabbed three knights in front of him off their horses.
Apart from Gao Lan's trusted guards who desperately tried to stop him, the other knights, seeing Zhao Yun's extraordinary bravery, dared not challenge him.
Zhao Yun, alone with his spear, charged into the crowd, his spear swirling like a silver dragon.
They quickly dealt with Gao Lan's trusted guards and confronted Gao Lan face to face!
"Watch out for my gun!"
Without a word, Zhao Yun thrust his bloodied spear tip at Gao Lan.
Gao Lan was surprised that Zhao Yun had actually charged in alone on horseback, and hurriedly raised his spear to fight.
The two long spears clashed like dragons, and no one dared to approach.
But before three rounds had even passed, Gao Lanli revealed a weakness!
"middle!"
Zhao Yun flicked his spear, drawing a strange arc that seemed to carry a howling dragon's roar, and pierced Gao Lan's shoulder.
As if he had been shoved hard, Gao Lan's spear slipped from his hand, and he let out a scream.
Immediately afterwards, the blood-stained gun tip was pressed against his throat.
"I could have killed you, but my lord has decided to spare your life!"
"Immediately order everyone to stop, or all your men will be killed."
He stood motionless against Gao Lan's spear, but Gao Lan was completely stiff and dared not move an inch.
He thought he was going to die, but Liu Wei said he would spare his life, and Gao Lan immediately saw hope.
