All the soldiers who had fallen off their horses were turned into minced meat in an instant.
Streaks of blood splashed and splattered. Watching from afar, one could see that after the two cavalries collided, the arms of the cavalries were detached from their bodies and flew into the air. Heads kept spinning in the air like frogs jumping out of the water before falling to the ground. There were constantly flying bodies that flew up, splattered with blood, and then fell to the ground …
Wu Jundao charged forward with all his might. Suddenly, he felt his body relax, the pressure was gone. His eyes were wide open as he charged out of the enemy's cavalry formation. Behind him, the Steel Cavalry that was still organized charged out at the same time. Wu Jundao raised his spear diagonally, his warhorse galloped and made a circle, aiming at the enemy's cavalry formation again.
Without a word, he charged forward once more.
Life and death depended on this moment.
Victory or defeat depended on this moment as well.
High above!
Tie Zheng raised his arm abruptly and hollered, "Yutang's Steel Cavalry!" His voice was like rumbling thunder that swept across the battlefield.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers roared at the same time, "Unrivaled in the world!"
This was the first time the Steel Cavalry had made a sound since the battle began.
It was under their marshal's lead.
Drumbeats reverberated from the enemy's formation at the same time. A cruel smile hung on Tie Zheng's face.
He was just a tad faster!
The marshal's deafening roar was undoubtedly a boost to the soldiers' morale!
Yutang's Steel Cavalry went into a frenzy as they roared at the same time, "Yutang's Steel Cavalry! Unrivaled in the world! "They charged towards Dongxuan's Shadow Cavalry.
In the enemy's camp.
The general who was commanding the troops wore a grim expression, sweat dripping from the tip of his nose.
A lean elder stood with his arms behind his back as he watched the battlefield and said faintly, "The Shadow Cavalry has lost this battle. Sound the gongs to retreat."
"Marshal!" The general was indignant.
"A defeat is a defeat!" The lean elder said coldly, "Sound the gongs to retreat!"
"Yes!"
The enemy's formation was retreating, but the two cavalries that were entangled did not separate so easily.
They were still biting and killing each other as they broke through the enemy's formation and returned to their own.
The ground was littered with bloodied corpses.
"Do you know why you lost?" The old man's eyes were filled with wisdom.
"I was too slow." The general lowered his head in shame.
"Not bad." The scrawny elder was Dongxuan's God of War, Han Sanhe. "Our Shadow Cavalry is basically the same as the enemy's Steel Cavalry, the most elite combat force. Both sides will suffer and perish together. However, your command failed. In this battle, our side had sent out five thousand cavalrymen, while the other side had also sent out five thousand. The other side had returned with three thousand to four thousand men, but the number of our brothers who returned was at least five hundred less than the other side! Why is that? "
"When they broke through the formation and regrouped, Tie Zheng seized the opportunity. His roar spurred the army to cheer. This was the morale!"
"At that point in time, the cavalries of both sides are already like arrows at the end of their flight. The only thing that can support them is their morale. The side with the highest morale would win. On the other hand, the enemy made the first move. Their cavalry's morale soared, and we were a step behind, so our morale was suppressed. "
"In the first wave, the number of casualties on both sides was similar. The hundreds of casualties on our side only happened after the second wave of morale was suppressed. You're not Tie Zheng's opponent! "
The scrawny elder said faintly, "There's another reason for your defeat. Tie Zheng was always standing there, his soldiers could see him! As for you, your soldiers couldn't see you! "
"The general is the soldier's courage!"
"The general's courage is the soul of an army!"
"Therefore, your defeat in this battle is well-deserved!"
Han Sanhe sighed softly. "Tie Zheng … is indeed a generational talent!"
The general beside him was already ashamed.
"After this battle, the Shadow Cavalry can't enter the battlefield for a short period of time. Their morale has been suppressed. We have to find a chance to turn the tables before we can continue fighting! Otherwise, when we face the Steel Cavalry again, the enemy's psychological advantage is already formed. It's bound to be a great defeat! "
"For forty-five consecutive days, the three of you have taken turns to fight Tie Zheng. Out of the three of you, half of you have lost!" Han Sanhe narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the battlefield. "It looks like this old man will have to fight personally."
"This lowly general is ashamed. I'm willing to lead the army."
"This isn't military law. This battle is meant to train the soldiers!" Han Sanhe said coldly, "The three of you have been fighting openly and covertly within the nation, fighting for the title of the top general of the younger generation … This battle is to let you see how far you're from being a famed general!"
"I hope you remember the countless heroic souls that have died because of your mistakes in this battle!" Han Sanhe looked at the general and the other two generals who were standing straight as he said word by word, "This time, we're using human lives to train the soldiers for you. I want you to remember that in front of a true famed general, you're not even worth a fart! "
"If you don't improve, it's only a matter of time before you die on this battlefield!"
Han Sanhe's voice was cold. The three generals were flushed, lowering their heads as if they were about to crawl into a hole in the ground.
"This is what it means to build a general's success on the bones of thousands!"
Han Sanhe went up to the podium with a grim expression.
A huge flag suddenly flew up in the wind from Dongxuan's camp. It fluttered wildly in the air.
Han!
The entire Dongxuan army, hundreds of thousands of men, howled loudly. The soldiers cheered in unison, their voices shaking the air.
On the other side, Tie Zheng's expression froze. Han Sanhe was finally going to fight personally! He had raised the flag specifically to tell him that he had already seen him as an opponent who could threaten him.
I will fight with all my might!
This was Han Sanhe's respect for his opponent.
However, this respect made Tie Zheng's heart skip a beat. He would rather Han Sanhe underestimate him and look down on him than face him in such a serious manner.
The pressure was immense.
Orders came continuously from the enemy's camp. The battle on the battlefield was forcefully stopped by the enemy as all the combatants returned to their ranks.
The flags fluttered, blanketing the sky and earth. The wind howled as the flags fluttered like dragons within a hundred miles.
Han Sanhe had only reorganized his troops but the entire Dongxuan army took on a different atmosphere at once. Whether it was their aura, their will to fight, or their murderous intent, they seemed to have been elevated by several levels at once.
This was the invincible confidence that an unparalleled general of his generation had brought to his troops.
The soldiers' instinctive fear of the battlefield was completely erased from their hearts when Han Sanhe personally commanded them.
Tie Zheng sucked in a deep breath in the face of the overwhelming aura and gave the order at the same time.
The entire army retreated to defend.
Although he knew that such a decision would put him at a disadvantage, Tie Zheng could only do so in the face of such an overwhelming aura.
If they were to fight now, their defeat would be certain!
The enemy's aura was blazing!
It was only an appearance without any order to attack, but it had already forced Tie Zheng to change his formation, to switch from offense to defense.
There was no pride on Han Sanhe's face, only calmly and methodically issuing his orders. Countless troops began to move from all directions, attacking Yutang's Yutang troop in a chaotic but orderly manner.
They came and went, advancing and retreating, coming from the east and west, fighting from the north and south.
Tie Zheng utilized his brain's calculation ability to its maximum, countering every move that came his way and fighting back.
"Arrows!"
Time passed by slowly.
Although Tie Zheng was still as calm as ever, he was already powerless.
For three consecutive days, Han Sanhe had been attacking continuously, using all sorts of methods from all directions; sneak attacks, ambushes, ambushes, fire attacks …
It was a comprehensive collection of tactics.
Nibbling tactics!
This was the nibbling tactics that Han Sanhe had used to strike fear into the hearts of the famed generals of various countries – nibbling away at your men bit by bit! No matter how you defended, I had my ways to bite you bit by bit!
Tie Zheng's troops were forced to retreat again and again.
However, after three days, he realized that the enemy had already completed half of the encirclement. Furthermore, all of the formidable military force was laid out in front of him.
This was obviously the stance of a pursuit!
Facing such a situation, all that was left was a head-on battle. In spite of this, Tie Zheng had no confidence in winning a head-on battle.
If he lost, he could only retreat.
However, once he did so, the fifty thousand Shadow Cavalry that had not moved would come crashing in like a tsunami.
By then, if he insisted on fleeing, Han Sanhe might take advantage of the situation and pursue him all the way to Tiantang City!
"The continent's God of War lives up to his reputation!"
Tie Zheng sighed deeply. His heart was helpless. Unknowingly, he had not even noticed how the enemy had set up the ambush, but the catastrophe had come so suddenly!
There was nothing left out in all directions!
"Marshal!"
The soldier who was in charge of the lookout cried out in terror from the top of the mountain.
"What is it? Why are you panicking? "Tie Zheng was furious. However, he was stunned as well.
Behind him, a troop of cavalry had appeared out of nowhere. There were at least tens of thousands of people in the crowd.
The Dongxuan Steel Cavalry!
Since when had they come to his back?
Tie Zheng was utterly disheartened as he turned to look at the enemy's formation. Han Sanhe still did not show himself, but Tie Zheng knew that he was doomed.
Han Sanhe's relentless attacks these few days were actually for this hidden pawn.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were cutting off his retreat!
While he was busy dealing with the enemy's simultaneous attacks from dozens of sides, this troop of cavalry had actually circled behind him.
There was no way forward and no way back!
Han Sanhe was obviously trying to strangle the Empire of Yutang's military force!
Now, the enemy was attacking from all sides and the tempo was picking up.
It was obvious that the enemy's final attack was about to begin!
Once the final attack began, it would be a thunderous one!
Tie Zheng was trying his best to think of a way to escape this fate of certain defeat and death. If he were to be defeated, the Empire of Yutang's eastern border would fall completely.
However, even as he thought about it, his temples throbbing, he could not think of any countermeasure. Han Sanhe's attacks were dense and omnipresent.
It was impossible to defend against them.
"Marshal!" The guard who was on the lookout suddenly cried out in delight, "Marshal, Dongxuan's troop is suddenly in chaos in the southwest. There seems to be a battle …"
Tie Zheng was stunned.
Southwest? …
He had always wanted to break out from that direction and defend the mountain there, but Dongxuan had obviously seen this as well. The defense of the southwest was like an iron bucket. How could there be a battle there?
