Where did an army of this size come from!
Looking at the thick smoke and dust rising from the western sky, Yi Zhongtian felt dumbfounded.
He is a person who has seen the world, but seeing such movement, at least tens of thousands of troops and horses coming from the west can't stop them.
west side...
West!
It's Qi Jun!
It suddenly dawned on him that those coming from the west, except Zhu Wen's garrison in the border town, could only be troops from the Qi country.
But the garrison in the border town can't be easily moved. If there is an order, Yijiabao can always get some news from Chang'an so that he can prepare for emergencies.
But what happened suddenly today was not Qi Jun, who else could it be!
Cold sweat suddenly broke out from Yi Zhongtian's forehead. As the young master of Yijiabao, he was just stunned for a moment and could not speak.
He couldn't figure out how quickly Qi's troops broke through the defenses of the border town, leaving Liang Jun in the border town with no time to pass on the information...
"Young Master, the situation is unclear, please retreat temporarily!"
Yi Zhongtian was stunned at this moment, not to mention the girl he called Wanqing. She had been held in the palm of her family since she was born. How could she have seen such a scene.
Fortunately, the young soldier was still in Qingming, so he took care of the two young masters and hurriedly urged them.
The horses of their group are all at the foot of the mountain, with only a few followers left to look after them. They will withdraw and rush back to Yijiabao.
"Yes, yes! Go back, go back!"
Yi Zhongtian suddenly came to his senses at the young soldier's urgent reminder. He grabbed the still foolish girl and urged the other guards.
I am afraid that a powerful enemy will invade, so I can only save my life by rushing back to Yijiabao.
But as he turned around to urge, he saw all the guards in leather armor, including the young soldier, suddenly looking to the west, with panic on their faces.
At this time, Yi Zhongtian also suddenly felt the sound of the earth shaking behind him, and the densely packed horseshoes struck the earth, as if the surrounding tree trunks were shaking.
He turned around in shock and looked toward the west.
Suddenly, from the smoky sky in the west, a large scroll with the word "Tang" on the edge of black cloud patterns rushed out, rushing forward quickly and moving with the wind.
The big banner is in front, and there are countless rolled flags of various colors behind it. The sound of people shouting and horses neighing seemed to come from the horizon, and in an instant it filled the hills.
There were countless knights in light armor, an army to the fullest!
The rolling torrent seems to be endless, and thousands of riders are coming down the valley.
The densely packed steel horseshoes struck on the damaged official road, as if they had the ability to block out the sky and the sun, only making people's breathing stagnate.
These knights are the most elite armored cavalry from the Qi Kingdom who live in Fengxiang. They are the warriors who have followed the empress for thousands of miles to meet Li Jing. They are the most capable armored cavalry in the Qi Kingdom.
Horses are produced in the northwest, and a steady stream of horse breeds are introduced from the western regions. As long as Li Jing needs it, he can immediately pull out an army of tens of thousands of horses. But it is said that the number of soldiers is not as good as the number of soldiers. It is precisely relying on the mobility of this one man and two horses, combined with the warriors of the Jaundice tribe, that Liang Guo's hundreds of miles of defense line can be kept in the dark in one fell swoop.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
With the power of artillery, the waiting military town only blocked them for half a day.
In fact, after the turmoil in Bianzhou came over, more military towns were reluctant to see such a large army from Qi State again.
These northwest men under the banner of the Tang Dynasty are all tall and mighty, riding on tall horses, their armor and stomachs shining brightly, and their weapons like jungles, covering the entire sight. The swirling smoke seems to be connected to the sky.
And a cavalry team of this size just protruded endlessly in the smoke and dust behind them, rolling towards the east under the banner with the word "Tang" and the flags of various ministries.
There are endless military horses behind.
One after another, the armies of different countries rushed into Yi Zhongtian's sight, shocking the young master of the Yi family, who had been so heroic since childhood, to the point where he was speechless.
Just from his sight, there were at least a dozen commanders, with at least three to four thousand riders. These are powerful cavalry troops that are well-equipped, with both men and horses wearing armor, and strict orders, capable of fighting among thousands of armies.
From this point of view, the once proud guards of Yijiabao were really vulnerable to a truly powerful army.
As twenty or thirty people gathered on the hill, their throats were horrified by such a sudden turn of events, and their throats seemed to be burning. Even the two standing legs beneath them began to tremble.
When they thought of evacuating to the deep forest again, the Qi army brigade had already noticed them.
Before these cavalrymen could rush up towards the hill, figures with iron armor on their faces, black light armor on their bodies, and bamboo hats on their heads suddenly appeared behind Yi Zhongtian and the others.
After losing several military guards, they were easily captured by these weird-looking people.
One of the leading figures just glanced indifferently at Yi Zhongtian, who was half-kneeling in the middle.
He naturally ignored the crying girl who only realized it later.
The Jaundice clan members have been married within the clan since they were young, and they can completely turn a blind eye to these women from the outside world.
"Kill and dispose of the body."
This leading young man from the Jaundice tribe was one of the men who followed Li Jing in the surprise attack on Hanzhong last year. By this time, he had already experienced hundreds of battles and was used to life and death. Seeing that these people were most likely Liang Jun's spies, they naturally wouldn't hold back.
Although Yi Zhongtian suddenly became a prisoner under his command, seeing that his own life was in danger, he was so busy that he shouted loudly.
"Wait a minute, warrior! I am Yi Zhongtian, the young master of Yijiabao, and my father, Yi Kaiqing, is the master of Yijiabao! But please let me see your general!"
The girl next to him no longer looked innocent at this time. Although she was not pressed down like the people around her, the few still warm corpses around her and the indifferent looks of these Jaundice tribesmen were enough to make her Her delicate body trembled and she cried out.
The young leader of the Jaundice tribe hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand, and the Jaundice tribe members around him holding short blades lifted Yi Zhongtian up.
"Let's go down first."
Yi Zhongtian no longer looked as heroic and unrestrained as before. At this time, the soft armor on his body was stained with some blood, and his face was a little frightened. He looked a little unbearable. The Jaundice tribe members led them all the way down. .
Countless cavalrymen just rolled forward. Facing the disgraced Yi Zhongtian and others, no one even glanced sideways.
Under the overwhelming attack, the morale of the Qi army had reached an unprecedented height.
Finally, Yi Zhongtian saw a middle-aged general with an elegant but majestic face in the center of the Qi army, surrounded by generals.
The knight holding the flag next to him holds a small flag with the word "Liu" in his hand.
"Yijiabao?"
Liu Zhijun looked at Yi Zhongtian, who was now ashen-faced, with a smile on his lips and looked towards the north.
If everything goes well for Your Highness, it will almost be here now...
