The Nanyang Basin is relatively flat, and there are no steep mountains blocking the road to Xiangyang.
So after knowing that King Xiangyang wanted to ambush him, Cao Bin was not worried.
There are only a few thousand infantry troops dressed as bandits. Even if it is the Central Forbidden Army with complete armor, Cao Bin is confident that he can kill them all with the help of tiger and leopard cavalry.
When the tiger and leopard cavalry rushed within a hundred meters of the enemy, Lan Xiao realized what he was doing. He was shocked and shouted:
"Form up, form up, stop me, Wori..."
He was commanding his own army. When he looked back, his face turned pale with fright.
I saw countless arrows flying in like a violent storm, there were always tens of thousands of arrows.
He hurriedly moved to hide, and the mount suddenly screamed and was shot into a hornet's nest.
For an army without armor and little armor, Zhuge Liannu is an insurmountable existence.
Lan Xiao ignored the command and ran towards his own army formation, rolling and crawling on the ground.
"Oh my god, run quickly, I can't stop you!"
The soldiers disguised as bandits had been freezing for two days and one night. They couldn't eat or sleep well, and they were extremely exhausted.
First, 1,800 people were taken away by a wave of arrows, and then when they saw their commander fleeing in confusion, they suddenly lost control.
Before the tiger and leopard cavalry could get close, they were already frightened by the charging momentum of the cavalry, so they started to fight, so they dropped their weapons and ran away like crazy.
When Lan Xiao saw this, he didn't want to reorganize the army.
In this situation, even if the Great Luo Immortal comes, there is no way to save it.
He had no choice but to grab a nearby war horse and flee with the soldiers.
He felt like crying. This battle was over before it even started, and he didn't know how to explain it to King Xiangyang.
At this time, at the top of a mountain not far away, Yan Chasan and others were stunned and speechless.
"Is this a victory?"
Yan Chasan murmured.
He imagined various scenarios, and also thought about appearing in front of Cao Bin like a savior at the moment of life and death.
But he never thought that a fatal battle would end so easily.
Before the soldiers of King Xiangyang came into contact with Cao Bin's personal guards, they retreated in a crushing defeat, and the confrontation between the two armies turned into a cavalry pursuit.
This scene completely subverted his understanding of the battlefield.
Shouldn't it be that you and I are fighting each other with one knife and one shot?
However, he didn't know that in the battles he participated in, he was either ambushed or surrounded. Where had he ever seen a real confrontation between two armies?
Bai Yutang's face turned pale as he looked at the cavalry guards who were constantly chasing and killing the deserters.
Because he suddenly discovered that his superb martial arts had no effect at all in front of such charging cavalry.
They couldn't even slow down their footsteps, and they felt a little discouraged for a while.
When Jiang Ping saw them looking like this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"What a powerful cavalryman. He is truly worthy of his military honors from generation to generation."
"Even if the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion declines, it is beyond our imagination."
"Uncle Zhongjing has just trained such a cavalry. He is worthy of being the pillar of the country. No one can compare with you or me."
As he said that, he glanced at Bai Yutang and said:
"Fifth brother, are you convinced this time?"
Bai Yutang glanced at him but said nothing, with a complicated expression on his face.
At this time, Jiang Ping looked at the scene at the bottom of the mountain, suddenly slapped his forehead and said:
"Lan Xiao is climbing the mountain, avoiding the cavalry, we can't come in vain!"
"Quick, catch him, don't let this bastard get away!"
When Bai Yutang heard this, he became energetic and said excitedly:
"Cao Bin's heavy armored cavalry can't climb the mountain. It's our turn to make a contribution this time."
"He worked for a long time, but he only defeated the enemy army."
"Capturing the thief's leader is a success, but it depends on my Bai's ability!"
As he said that, he quickly jumped down several feet and rushed towards Lan Xiao's direction.
Jiang Ping looked at his back, laughed dumbly, shook his head helplessly and said:
"Master Yan, let's move too, shall we?"
Not far from the foot of Heilang Mountain.
The three heroes of the Ding family rushed to Cao Bin's horse and said angrily:
"Uncle Zhongjing, are you going too far?"
"We helped you resist the bandits, but you wanted to kill us."
"If we hadn't run fast, we would have been hit by the cavalry!"
"Is there anyone like you?"
At this time, the three heroes of the Ding family were in a miserable state, covered in dust, and their legs were still shaking.
The cavalry charge is really scary.
Cao Bin blinked and said innocently:
"It's all because your Qinggong skills are too high. Why didn't you tell me earlier that we were going to charge?"
"If you had told me earlier, wouldn't I have issued the order later?"
After saying that, he immediately changed his face and said seriously:
"I haven't told you yet?"
"The so-called military orders are like mountains! Since you are in the army, why don't you wait for my military orders? Take action without authorization?"
"Can you know the crime?"
Hearing this, the three heroes of the Ding family were immediately speechless and looked at each other for a long time... They were so stunned!
Seeing this, Cao Bin ignored them and ran to the back to comfort the female family members.
Xiangyang City Gate.
It was not until the afternoon that the King of Xiangyang came back in embarrassment with a group of subordinates.
While beating the horse, he cursed angrily:
"Trash, Lan Xiao is a trash. Not only did he say he was defeated, but he also led his pursuers to me."
"If I meet Cao Bin, how should I explain it? This is disloyalty!"
He had been scolding him all the way, either calling Cao Bin immoral or calling Lan Xiao a waste.
Because of Cao Bin, he was cold and hungry, and suffered all night.
His army had diarrhea as soon as it appeared and was defeated instantly, which was a bit difficult for him to accept.
Moreover, when the cavalry charged, he was also frightened, and then he ran quickly towards Xiangyang, fearing that Cao Bin would catch up with him.
The counselor behind him couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard this, and could only say with relief:
"My lord, please calm down. No one thought that Cao Bin's cavalry would be so powerful."
"We still underestimated the power of cavalry!"
King Xiangyang was not convinced and said:
"Isn't Cao Bintama a loser? Why does he have a cavalry and I don't?"
"I've also formed one. I have a lot of money and horses. I don't believe I can be as good as Cao Bin."
As he spoke, he said in frustration:
"What should we do now? If we can't intercept him, should we let him settle in Xiangyang?"
"If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the imperial court has released a bad wolf beside me?"
The counselor didn't care and said:
"My lord, don't worry, Xiangyang City is full of our people. As long as Cao Bin's cavalry enters the city, it will be useless."
"When the time comes, it will be like a tiger landing on the sun or an eagle landing on a swamp. Shouldn't it be left to the prince's control?"
King Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said:
"That's right. I shouldn't have intercepted and killed him. Thousands of troops were lost in vain."
"We still want him to enter the city. I don't believe he can escape from my grasp..."
