A deputy general from the Zhong family was covered in blood. After leaving the battlefield outside the mountain pass, he rode his horse to Zhong Tan's side. He casually broke an arrow that was nailed into his armor and said while panting, "Young master, give me another 500 men of sacrifice. We will definitely break Beiliang's formation!"
Zhong Tan collected his thoughts and looked at the battlefield in the distance. He shook his head and said, "Most of the Zhong family's men are already dead."
The deputy general who had personally charged into the enemy's formation twice was stunned. He looked around and realized that the Zhong family's direct cavalry had indeed suffered a shocking loss. In this battle, Zhong Tan didn't hide anything. He didn't hesitate to use the Zhong family's cavalry as the vanguard to break through the enemy's formation. If he wasn't so ruthless and decisive, the 500 Beiliang Dragon-Elephant Cavalry wouldn't have been the first to die. The 1,200 Beimang cavalry that were piled up with the Dragon-Elephant Cavalry's corpses were all Zhong family's private cavalry. At that time, the Beimang cavalry had almost succeeded. It was the 500 men of sacrifice from the Long Xiang Army who had risked their lives to kill the warhorses. They succeeded in stopping the Zhong family's cavalry from advancing smoothly. After that, Zhong Tan used 200 to 300 men of the Zhong family's elite cavalry to break through the enemy's formation several times. However, they were all blocked by the Beiliang general.
The deputy general said hatefully, "If it were somewhere else, we wouldn't be able to kill them even if we gave them another 5,000 men from Liuzhou!"
Zhong Tan, whose direct cavalry had suffered heavy casualties, smiled bitterly and said with emotion, "Yes, it's a pity that we're at the end of Miyun Pass. We can't advance or retreat."
The deputy general, who had never thought of retreating, was puzzled when he heard this strange statement. "Young master, why can't we retreat? Besides, this battle can still be fought. It's a little difficult to win and we'll probably lose another 3,000 to 4,000 men. However, we definitely won't retreat, right? "
Zhong Tan glanced back and then looked out of the pass again. "Even you know that the troops outside Beiliang Pass are a lost cause. Why is that Beiliang general still fighting to the death and not retreating? From Miyun Pass to Fengxiang Town and Linyao Town, it's a flat land with no obstacles for the cavalry to gallop. Why is Beiliang defending this place to the death? It's obvious that so many people are going to die. Is it purely to exchange troops? "
The deputy general's heart trembled. He looked towards the mountain pass behind the Northern Mang cavalry and muttered, "Young master, didn't those great figures of our Western Capital's imperial court all say that Liu Province's battle is insignificant? .........................................
. "Zhong Tan took a deep breath and said self-deprecatingly," I only realized that Beiliang had gone mad after encountering this troop. They chose Liu Province as the location of the second battle of Liang Mang. "
Zhong Tan pointed the tip of his sword outside the pass and laughed nastily. "It doesn't matter. As long as we can charge out of Miyun Pass, Beiliang will lose miserably in this desperate gamble!"
Zhong Tan ordered in a deep voice, "All Zhong family cavalry, charge with me!"
The two chiliarchs who had been itching to give it a try cupped their fists and accepted the order.
The deputy general hesitated and asked cautiously, "Young master, are you really going to charge personally?"
Zhong Tan laughed boldly. "I want to meet that Beiliang general personally!"
Intuition told this Beimang Xia Jumo that killing that Beiliang general was more meaningful than killing ten thousand Beiliang cavalry!

Ten thousand cavalry galloped through Miyun Pass like lightning.
The leader of the cavalry was Cao Wei. The ten thousand cavalry behind him had already changed horses many times. Behind them, there were constantly supporting horses lying on the ground. Many of the cavalry were foaming at the mouth. There were even a few hundred horses that fell to the ground and died.
On the other hand, Cao Wei's ten thousand cavalry had also stretched out an extremely long line. This kind of long-distance attack that completely disregarded the horse's power and formation, if it was any other battlefield, would definitely make the generals curse out loud. It was simply treating it as child's play!
The ten thousand cavalry were like a surging river flowing east.
At this moment, the Miyun Pass was like the Guangling River.
There were constantly tired horses whose legs went soft. The only thing the cavalry with excellent horsemanship could do was turn their horses around slightly and try their best to fall to the left and right sides of the path. The cavalry that fell to the ground didn't care about the life or death of their beloved steeds and quickly changed horses to continue charging forward.
Fortunately, most of the spears, lances, cavalry, bows, and light crossbows were given to Xie Xi's cavalry. To a certain extent, it reduced the burden on Cao Wei's cavalry.
Cao Wei muttered to himself, "Xie brat, don't think that I'll help you collect your corpse! If you can't hold on any longer, the Northern Mang barbarians will be waiting for you outside the mountain pass. In addition to the Rotten Buddha Mountain's monk soldiers that are eating sand behind this daddy's ass, this daddy's ten thousand cavalry will be finished in this godforsaken place! "
Galloping all the way.
Cao Wei felt that every slight breath of his was as clear as thunder. It even covered the sound of the horses' hooves.
This meant that his ten thousand cavalry were almost at their physical limits.
It also meant that such an extremely tired cavalry had in fact lost the ability to charge back and forth.
Cao Wei was betting that Xie Xi's brat could not only guard the exit of Miyun Pass, but also that Xie Xi's cavalry could heavily injure Zhong Tan's cavalry.
This was unreasonable.
Cao Wei thought to himself, "Xie brat, I know this is difficult, but … you are one of the two jade annulus of West Chu, Xie Xi's Border!"
Approaching the easternmost part of Miyun Pass.
Cao Wei, who had been muttering, "Let me hear something, let me hear something," suddenly laughed out loud. He almost laughed until tears came out of his eyes.
Cao Wei, who could already hear the sound of fighting in front, suddenly stopped his horse. He turned his head and roared, "Change horses! Put on armor! "
Soon, Cao Wei laughed involuntarily and said, "Now that things have come to this, change horses my ass!"
The ten thousand cavalry gradually came to a stop. Then, everyone put on their armor and drew their swords.
In the Western Region, far away from the Central Plains, the ten thousand Beiliang cavalry led by Cao Wei were like a sudden appearance. They temporarily stopped to rest and reorganize.
It was like a Guangling River that suddenly stopped.
After it stopped, it surged to the east!
Cao Wei raised his cold sword and urged his horse forward. He shouted with all his might, "Kill!"
— —
The battle of Miyun Pass.
It was hailed as the best cavalry battle after the Spring and Autumn Period.
