After two days of careful treatment, Niu Er's condition gradually stabilized. Seeing that Xiao Niu Er finally regained his energy, Qin Feng and others were relieved.
In the evening, Qin Feng gave the order to leave Yuping County and return to Kyoto.
Since the black cavalry itself is a heavy cavalry, the burden on the war horse is already very heavy. No black cavalry can bring additional Niu Er mother and son.
Although the cow mother has been taught how to ride a horse, she is not skilled at it and it is too difficult to keep up with the team.
After much deliberation, Wu Chenggong was asked to find a carriage to escort Niu Er, mother and son.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qin Feng and Wu Chenggong exchanged glances, and no longer hesitated, leading the team out of the city and heading towards Kyoto along the official road.
Following beside him, Zhao Yulong, fully clothed, kept looking at the seemingly calm wilderness.
"Brother Qin, according to the information obtained by Jin Yiwei, the number of thieves is eight hundred."
"If we just break through their encirclement, it will be easy for the Black Cavalry."
"But it is indeed difficult to annihilate them all."
Zhao Yulong did not mean to say these depressing words, but it was almost impossible to annihilate 800 people, unless he relied on thousands of people to form a huge encirclement and then shrink inward.
With the current number of people, once there is a fight, and the opponent wants to escape, it is impossible to rely on the black knight to carry out an effective pursuit.
It is a recognized fact that heavy cavalry is not good at pursuit.
For the sake of safety, Qin Feng, who was also wearing armor, turned around and glanced at the carriage in the center of the team, and smiled lightly.
"It is indeed a bit reluctant to kill them all. As long as we can kill the leader of the thieves and eliminate more than 80% of them, we will have achieved our goal."
After hearing this, Zhao Yulong felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became lighter.
At the same time, a spy quickly ran to the mound five miles south of the official road.
The moment they crossed the mound, hundreds of soldiers in full formation came into view.
"Commander, Qin Feng has left the city and is approaching us!"
Upon hearing the spy's report, Wu Heli took a deep breath, tightened the sword in his hand, turned to look at the brothers behind him, and shouted in a low voice: "Kill Qin Feng and become famous!"
Hundreds of brothers were instantly motivated to fight.
Chen Yanzong could no longer hold back his excitement. As long as he killed Qin Feng, his four brothers would be famous all over the world!
By then, it will not only be supported by the wealthy families in the south, but also countless warriors will come to join us and develop and grow. It is only a matter of time.
"Brother, I would like to ask for your life to take the lead and kill Qin Feng!"
Looking at Chen Yanzong who was full of fighting spirit, Wu Heli waved his hand vigorously and said neatly: "No!"
"The courage of the fourth brother can be affirmed, but Qin Feng is by no means an ordinary person. He is protected by a black knight, so he must not take risks."
Being rejected again, Chen Yanzong suddenly felt a little discouraged. He knew that his eldest brother was also doing it for his own good, but he really wanted to kill Qin Feng with his own hands and make the first contribution.
Wu Heli said in a deep voice: "The second and third brothers led three hundred brothers to ambush on the north side of the official road."
"According to the original plan, once the situation changes, they will come out to support."
"Fourth brother, your mission is to lead your brothers and surround the black cavalry. You must not let the black cavalry charge. Once those heavy cavalry charge, the consequences will be disastrous."
Uhri is well aware of the huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves.
The black knights around Qin Feng are all armed to the teeth and have rich combat experience. They are all veterans of hundreds of battles.
On his side, although there were many people, there were not even a few decent light armors, let alone heavy armor.
As for armor-piercing arrows specifically aimed at heavy armor, they were even more pitiful.
There are quite a few spear rifles. Unfortunately, due to poor workmanship, it is not certain whether the spear shaft can withstand the impact.
Therefore, even if he had an absolute advantage in numbers, Uhri still did not dare to be careless and underestimate the enemy. He regarded this battle as a life-or-death battle and was ready to prepare.
Wu Heli and Chen Yanzong each wore a set of light armor, which were also the two most complete sets of armor in the entire army.
Uhli was at the front of the team, while Chen Yanzong was assigned to the rear to hold down the formation.
This move is, firstly, to ensure that the formation can be deployed smoothly, and secondly, it is to prevent Chen Yanzong, who has a strong personality, from rushing in rashly and putting himself in danger.
As time passed, Uhri gradually began to hold his breath.
Gradually, a heavy sound of horse hoofbeats came from a distance, and when the sound was followed, only small black dots appeared at the end of the official road.
"Here it comes! Get ready!"
As the distance got closer, everyone gradually saw the whole picture of the black knight clearly, and their originally passionate fighting spirit gradually calmed down.
The solemn atmosphere gradually spread.
Everyone knew that the Black Cavalry was the elite among the elite, but they did not expect that they would become so elite...
Every black knight was covered in heavy armor from head to toe. Even the war horse under his crotch was almost covered by armor.
Not only that, the weapons on the black knight can simply be described as outrageous.
Horses, machetes, bows, arrows, and hammers are all available...
There are two quivers hanging on the right side of the black knight. Based on the difference in arrow feathers, it can be judged that one is filled with armor-piercing arrows and the other is filled with abnormal arrows.
Obviously, whether facing heavy infantry or light infantry, the black cavalry can exert terrifying combat effectiveness.
Looking at the uniform and slowly approaching black knights, Uhli's eyes became more solemn. Although he was under great pressure, he had no choice but to fight in order to make a name for himself.
When the black knight entered a hundred steps away, Uhri gave a decisive order.
"kill!"
Following an order, the five hundred brothers who were ambushing behind the mound came out in full force, divided into two groups, and surrounded the black cavalry.
The black knight who was marching steadily stopped immediately when faced with the thief who suddenly came out.
Qin Feng sat on the horse and couldn't help but sigh when he looked at these rabble who didn't even have decent armor.
"There's something...something wrong with these people!"
"I thought they were elites sent by the powerful clans of the South, but upon closer inspection, they looked more like a group of real thieves."
At this moment, Zhao Yulong's light voice came over.
"Brother Qin, Jinyiwei mentioned before that a group of rebels appeared in Daliang recently. When they were in the Gyeonggi area, they were encircled and suppressed by the Longhu Army."
"Could it be this group of people?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly became interested: "What's the basis?"
Zhao Yulong shook his head: "There is no conclusive evidence. I just feel that the courage of these people is obviously much stronger than that of ordinary thieves."
"Facing the black knight, he still dared to charge forward. This alone is extraordinary."
