Hsu Fengnian suddenly stood up and whistled softly. The warhorse drinking water by the riverside galloped over. After mounting the horse, Hsu Fengnian grabbed the reins with one hand and clenched his other hand into a fist. He knocked heavily on his shoulder and grinned.
Far away in the south, the old man did not stop walking. Tears flowed down his face as he muttered softly.
"How do you feel now?"
The old man finally stopped and looked around. All he could see was the yellow sand of the desert.
Tide-listening Pavilion's strategist Li Yishan did not have a burial place after his death. His ashes were scattered outside the pass.
The old man smiled and said, "Yishan! In life and in death, I was not as good as you. "

At the southern gate of Beicheng City, Hsu Fengnian suddenly stopped his horse and turned his head. The slight abnormality that he sensed with his Celestial Being body was fleeting. In an instant, calmness was restored and no trace could be found.
Like an autumn leaf falling into a pond, there were few ripples. It was quiet and serene.

Previously, in that unknown corridor in Liuzhou, the Liuzhou infantry faced off against the fifty thousand southern cavalry of Beimang!
Liangzhou's general Shi Fu was indeed as stated in the military document he submitted to the King of Fengbei City. He did not lead the six thousand Qingyuan Army elite cavalry to rush to the aid of the corridor battlefield. Instead, he stood firm on the plains south of the corridor, patiently waiting for Huang Songpu's main force to withdraw to the north. At the same time, he needed to prevent the Southern Dynasties' border cavalry reinforcements from going south to join up with Huang Songpu's remaining troops. This Liangzhou general only symbolically sent a scout to the corridor to investigate the military situation. Shi Fu stopped his horse and looked south. His back was always to the bloody battlefield that was destined to be filled with corpses. His face was calm and his heart was stone.
On the southernmost Old Woman Mountain main battlefield, Liang Mang's side suffered the heaviest casualties in the third charge. Kou Jianghuai threw in the cavalry that belonged to the Liuzhou Provincial Governor Manor. Huang Songpu also used six hundred true heavy cavalry. The men and horses were all equipped with armor. Every particularly tall and strong Beimang warhorse was equipped with face, neck, chest, body armor, and parasitic armor. They were collectively known as iron cavalry armor that spears and arrows could not penetrate. Qi Fu Long Guan, the young general who temporarily took control of the Liu Province cavalry from Kou Jianghuai, once again led the remaining Direct Collision Camp cavalry to charge at the six hundred heavy cavalry. Only, while Qi Fu Long Guan led the charge, Xu Longxiang personally led the three hundred Dragon Elephant elite cavalry, gradually catching up to the Direct Collision Camp on the battlefield. In the end, they were neck to neck with the Direct Collision Camp, opening up the formation together!
After the three charges, the Liuzhou cavalry was almost completely wiped out. The Long Xiang Army also suffered great losses.
On the other hand, even though Huang Songpu's elite cavalry suffered great losses, the most numerous Yi type cavalry still miraculously maintained a high level of integrity. There were thirty thousand cavalry. According to the situation of the Old Woman Mountain battlefield, even without the fifty thousand reinforcements, Commander Huang Songpu had full confidence in wiping out the Liuzhou main force.
However, right at this time, a majestic cavalry army entered their field of vision from the plains east of Old Woman Mountain. That scene was like the sun rising over the Eastern Sea.
This elite cavalry army that came to reinforce Old Woman Mountain without any warning spread out in a line. Like a wave of Guangling River, they rapidly advanced from east to west.
This cavalry army that appeared out of nowhere was definitely the easiest to recognize apart from the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry in the Beiliang Frontier Army. This was because each of their helmets had a snow-white eagle feather that fluttered in the wind. On the sides of each horse's saddle, there were arrows that shot out like two lumps of reed flowers.
The cavalry's advance was like a great snowstorm surging between heaven and earth.
Not only was the armor dyed in blood, the two spears that had already been replaced, the Beimang commander Huang Songpu's face was covered in blood. He turned his head to the east, his eye sockets about to split apart.
On the Old Woman Mountain battlefield, after both sides spared no effort in the three vicious attacks, their Beimang cavalry army just happened to be at the original Liuzhou cavalry position. This was originally the plan of this Beimang Southern Dynasty's number one person. He wanted to wait until Liuzhou's main force suffered great losses, their energy falling to rock bottom. As long as the Beimang cavalry army was in the southern battlefield, they would be able to form a natural line of defense that could prevent the Liuzhou cavalry from turning back to the south. However, reality proved that the old commander's plan succeeded. However, Kou Jianghuai's plan also succeeded. That young Liuzhou main general didn't plan on withdrawing from Old Woman Mountain at all. He clearly wanted to turn around and surround the Beimang army!
Huang Songpu didn't hesitate in the slightest. He ordered the entire army to do their best to break through the encirclement. Even if they were ambushed along the way, they were not to be entangled in battle. They just had to head north and meet up with the reinforcements that were about to arrive at the northern battlefield of Old Woman Mountain. Victory would still be on the side of Beimang!
Qi Fu Long Guan, Xu Longxiang and Li Mo Fan, these three generals who had fought side by side at Old Woman Mountain, didn't even need to greet each other before they quickly changed their formation. From the left, middle, and right army's Yanxi formation to a horizontal snake formation, stretching out as far as possible to form a long front line. Every dog has its day. It was now the turn of the Liuzhou border army's front, middle, and back to charge. Li Mo Fan's Dragon-Elephant Cavalry was in the front two rows, Xu Longxiang's army was in the middle, and Qi Fu Long Guan's remaining Liuzhou cavalry was at the back. What they needed to do was no longer to kill the enemy. They only needed to try their best to stop the horse hooves of Huang Songpu's main force from breaking through the encirclement.
After Yuan Nanting's White Feather Light Cavalry unleashed three waves of arrows from the flanks of Northern Mang's main army, another six thousand cavalry with an imposing aura found an opportunity to draw their blades in an orderly fashion and charge into the enemy formation!
It was as if they had sliced through the waist of Beimang's cavalry formation. Huang Songpu's direct cavalry, Wanyan's private cavalry, and the thirty thousand second cavalry were all sliced in half!
The rest of the main force, the White Feather Light Cavalry, began to circle northward, not engaging in a chaotic battle with the Northern Mang army. Instead, they relied on the advantage of light cavalry, which was originally charging from east to west, to quickly circle northward.
If someone had just climbed to the top of Old Woman Mountain and looked down at the battlefield, they would probably think that this light cavalry was an ally of the grassland cavalry, and that they were heading north together from the left and right.
Beimang's chiliarchs and centurions led their remaining forces to charge fearlessly at the right flank of the White Feather Light Cavalry in despair.
Unfortunately, that heroic scene ended up like a stone hitting a river. It couldn't disrupt the pace of the White Feather Light Cavalry at all.
The White Feather Light Cavalry, after suffering from the Northern Mang cavalry's diagonal charge, easily moved slightly closer to the right. The left most formation that was originally more or less straight forward now had depressions everywhere, as if there were pockets that the Northern Mang deathsworn soldiers smashed into. What awaited these grassland barbarians was definitely not the Northern Cold Blade that engaged in close combat, but rather the extremely skilled cavalry archery. The two hundred to three hundred southern court cavalry were shot down like rice paddies, without the slightest bit of bitterness from the collisions, not dying miserably on horseback. When faced with the White Feather Light Cavalry's arrows, the Northern Mang cavalry who were able to continue charging a dozen or so steps forward before falling off their horses, they only felt a type of remaining grievance and helplessness. When faced with the White Feather Light Cavalry's arrows, the Northern Mang cavalry who were able to continue charging more than ten steps forward before falling off their horses, only felt a type of remaining grievance and helplessness.
In the northernmost part of the Crone Mountain battlefield, only dust could be vaguely seen.
It was the 4,000 Iron Stupas under Ning Emei's command that were inserted between the two battlefields!
At the peak of the Crone Mountain, Kou Jianghuai said calmly, "The situation is set. Huang Songpu is finished."
Chen Xiliang also saw the situation on the battlefield. A smile appeared on his pale face. He turned his head and said with a hoarse voice, "General Kou is worthy of the title 'God of War'."
Kou Jianghuai looked to the east. "I'm afraid of losing the big picture for the small."
Chen Xiliang asked doubtfully, "After the battle at the Crone Mountain, what's wrong with sending troops east to reinforce North Resisting City?"
Kou Jianghuai shook his head. "Who said we're going to North Resisting City?"
Chen Xiliang was dumbfounded.
At the foot of the Crone Mountain, Li Hanlin gathered the crossbowmen and prepared to enter the battlefield again.
The secret retainer that was sent by the young King to protect the White Horse Commandant, Lou Huang of the Martial Emperor City was about to get on his horse and follow them. Li Hanlin said with a firm expression, "Lou Huang, you go directly to North Resisting City! A dignified Martial Dao Great Grandmaster eating sand behind my butt. So boring! "
Lou Huang didn't seem to be surprised at all. He sat on the horse and looked at the mostly young faces. Finally, he smiled and nodded at Li Hanlin. He joked, "Boy, don't be greedy and die. Otherwise, your King of Beiliang won't forgive me."
Li Hanlin grinned. "Help me tell Brother Nian that we made a promise when we were young to pee in the temple of West Beimang. His share, I'll take care of it!"
Lou Huang rolled his eyes and reminded, "Then remember to drink more water before doing it."
Li Hanlin laughed. "I'll even drink horse pee!"
Lou Huang gave a thumbs up before he rode away. "I'm convinced!"

In the battle of the corridor, six battles and six defeats!
The fifty thousand people of Beimang's Southern Border Town Cavalry were completely driven into madness. After six charges, there were only twenty thousand people left!
Even if they knew that they were unable to help the Old Woman Mountain battlefield, even if they were destined to be severely punished by the emperor, these red-eyed grassland cavalry still launched the seventh attack without hesitation.
As long as Cao Wei led his nine thousand elite cavalrymen into the battlefield from the north entrance of the corridor, even if it was only thirty minutes later, the monk soldiers of Mount Lantuo and the three thousand soldiers of Liuzhou would be completely wiped out.
When Cao Wei personally led eight hundred men of sacrifice to break through Beimang's formation and killed all the way to the circular formation formed by only two hundred people, there were only corpses.
Along the way, they saw shattered iron shields, broken lances, broken modao swords, and destroyed bows and crossbows scattered all over the place.
The so-called simple circular formation was just the monk soldiers of Lantuo Mountain and the young men of Liuzhou who were all heavily injured. They were just waiting for death.
The one who really blocked the charge of Beimang's barbarian cavalry was a slender man in armor and covered in blood.
He was the eldest disciple of Wang Xianzhi of Martial Emperor City, the grandmaster of the Central Plains, Yu Groom!
This person held a modao that cut horses and a cold saber hung on his left and right waist. The number of Beimang cavalry that died under his saber was no less than nine hundred!
Yu Groom had personally promised the young king that he would ensure that Xie Xibian didn't die!
