After receiving Du Qi's orders, Ma Yuan replied and ordered the three hundred cavalrymen to attack. As the three hundred men got into formation, Ma Yuan raised the hammer in his hand and pointed to the front, "Kill!"
"Kill!"
The three hundred cavalrymen shouted in unison.
The shouts that soared into the sky were uniform, revealing an indomitable sharpness.
Ma Yuan also carried two hammers and charged with the three hundred cavalrymen. The horse's hooves clattered loudly on the ground, and dust danced in the air. Its momentum was vast and mighty, and its aura was fierce.
On the other side, the three hundred cavalrymen led by Luo Heng also charged forward. As the commanding general, he held the war blade in his hand and charged forward quickly.
The two armies clashed in the blink of an eye.
Ma Yuan was like a fierce tiger coming down from the mountains. He charged into the cavalrymen and swung his hammer up and down.
Everywhere he passed, men and horses were thrown off their feet.
However, when Ma Yuan attacked, he still held back. He only hit the back and body and did not hit the head. Therefore, even if his hammer heavily injured people, it would not kill them.
The soldiers under Ma Yuan were already clenching their war blades and slashing down. As the weapons of both sides clashed, Du Qi's cavalrymen gained the upper hand after a few short exchanges.
This was because Du Qi's cavalrymen directly broke the war blades of Su Dingfang's soldiers.
This was not a small number.
On the battlefield, when the soldiers' blades were broken, the cavalrymen's attacks were immediately stopped. Even Su Dingfang's cavalrymen were caught off guard. They were a little stunned and quickly retreated.
When Su Dingfang saw this scene, he could no longer calm down. He stood up and ordered loudly, "Retreat, all troops retreat and leave the battlefield immediately."
The two sides were fighting and the victor was obvious.
If they continued to fight, there would be countless losses. Under this precondition, they could only retreat from the battlefield.
Du Qi also immediately gave the order to stop the attack. The two groups of cavalry that were originally fighting each other had already separated at once. Ma Yuan immediately ordered the soldiers to count. The final number was still three hundred.
Out of the three hundred cavalrymen, six were lightly injured and did not affect them at all. The rest were unharmed.
Ma Yuan came to Du Qi's side and reported, "Your Highness, none of our three hundred men died."
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "You may leave."
"Yes!"
Ma Yuan retreated with his soldiers.
On the other side, Fu Junheng was also letting Luo Heng count the losses. After Luo Heng finished checking, his expression became very serious. Especially when he thought of how the sabers of his soldiers had been directly chopped in half, Luo Heng felt very shocked.
It was too scary.
The saber was broken in a single exchange.
This was especially true for the cavalry under Du Qi. Every soldier was armed with the same weapon. Under such circumstances, it could be seen how sharp the weapons of Du Qi's soldiers were. Luo Heng came to Fu Junheng's side and cupped his fists. "Elder Fu, none of us died in this battle, but 28 of us are heavily injured and 65 of us are lightly injured. Moreover, although the other party had gone all out, he had not used any killing moves. If Ping Xiwang's army had gone all out, I'm afraid some of our soldiers would have already been killed. "
Fu Junheng's face twitched.
A pained expression appeared in his eyes. Was this the difference between them?
It was not only the difference in weapons, but also the difference in battle strength. He did not participate in the battle, but he also saw that Du Qi's soldiers did not lose much, while the cavalry under his command had lost a lot.
Fu Junheng waved his hand to ask Luo Heng to withdraw, and then he sighed dejectedly before walking directly to stand before Su Dingfang and said with a low voice, "Your Highness, 28 of us are heavily injured in this battle, 65 are lightly injured, and the remaining soldiers are completely unharmed."
"I know."
Su Dingfang nodded. "Elder Fu, do you have anything else to say?"
Fu Junheng had already been beaten until he was convinced. He said, "This lowly subordinate is sincerely convinced and has nothing to say. This defeat can be said to be a crushing defeat. His Highness Ping Xiwang's army's battle strength can be said to be peerless. "
Fu Junheng's heart was full of pride.
They were both human, so why was Du Qi more powerful? Fu Junheng knew that they were both human, but Du Qi was more powerful. Therefore, the soldiers trained by Du Qi were also more powerful. This was the difference.
Su Dingfang waved his hand. Fu Junheng turned and left. He turned to look at Du Qi and said, "Your Highness, the battle just now really opened my eyes. I am envious of the battle sabers that your soldiers are equipped with! Do you have more of such battle sabers? "
Du Qi shook his head. "Not at the moment."
After a pause, Du Qi explained, "These 300 soldiers are my personal guards. The weapons they use are specially forged. Special materials are added to each saber to forge these 300 battle sabers. If you can forge such weapons at will, then it will be terrifying. Brother Su, if you need, I can let the soldiers give you a saber, but I can't give you more. "
Su Dingfang thought for a while and said, "A saber is fine. It is also not bad as my saber."
Du Qi immediately called Ma Yuan and let Ma Yuan give a saber to Su Dingfang.
Such a saber was a sharp weapon.
It was impossible to give Su Dingfang too much. Otherwise, Du Qi's behavior would be helping the enemy.
Su Dingfang did not say much. He left the battle saber behind. He looked at Du Qi and said, "Your Highness, why don't we go back first and then lead our soldiers to the south to meet at the border of Shazhou? After all, in the current situation, I have to go back and make some arrangements. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Okay, no problem."
After a pause, Du Qi said, "We will reach the border of Shazhou before the middle of October. Is that okay?"
"No problem!"
Su Dingfang answered with a smile.
It was only September. There was plenty of time to reach the border of Shazhou before the middle of October.
Su Dingfang picked up the wine bottle again and said, "Your Highness, I would like to propose a toast to you."
"Please!"
Du Qi answered with a smile.
They toasted each other and then left.
Du Qi led the army to leave. Su Dingfang returned to the army formation. He looked at the injured soldiers sitting on the ground and looked at the listless soldiers. His expression did not change.
All of this was within his expectation.
Even Su Dingfang did it deliberately.
Before, Su Dingfang was in charge of the military affairs of Guazhou and Shazhou. Under the command of Su Dingfang, it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables to wipe out the bandits. There was no difficulty at all.
Arrogance and conceit had been bred in the army. Many of the soldiers believed that they were invincible. Now that they were beaten, they knew that there was always someone better than them. However, Su Dingfang could not let the morale of the soldiers fall. Otherwise, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Su Dingfang's eyes fell on Fu Junheng. He asked, "Official Fu, today you have seen the army of His Highness Ping Xi Wang. You also commanded the soldiers to fight with Ping Xi Wang's soldiers. What do you think?"
Fu Junheng sighed and said, "Governor Su, this lowly subordinate is convinced. I have always been unsatisfied with the strength of Ping Xi Wang. Today, I have seen it. Only Ma Yuan was able to sweep away all the generals. Moreover, only 300 cavalrymen were able to destroy our forces. Ping Xi Wang's strength is far beyond ours. We have been defeated in this battle, and we are convinced. "
After hearing this, Su Dingfang's expression did not change. He looked at the injured soldiers and said, "How about you? How do you feel about the people who participated in the battle? "
"We accept our defeat wholeheartedly."
One by one, they opened their mouths and were listless. After all, in this battle, they were beaten to the point that they did not even have the strength to fight back. It was really miserable. After the defeat, everyone looked lonely. Their voices were scattered and they could not raise their spirits.
