The messenger can no longer make any contact with Sun Bo.
But after all, Sun Bo has experienced hundreds of battles and is extremely experienced. He can judge how desperate the situation is just based on the number of enemies around him.
"Damn it!"
"Beixi Qingqi has already come up with support and has been dealing with the rebels on the outside. I'm afraid they have been defeated by now."
Sun Bo's mood was extremely complicated.
Facts have proved that Beixi Qingqi has not abandoned its brother troops and has been fighting bloody battles.
Unfortunately, knowing this now, what’s the use?
After all, light cavalry is light cavalry, and the role it can play on the frontal battlefield is too limited.
Just when Sun Bo was completely desperate, the shouts of soldiers suddenly came to his ears.
"General, the enemy... the enemy seems to be retreating."
What? !
Sun Bo was stunned. He leaned on the big ax and panted to look at the surrounding situation. Sure enough, he found that the enemy's attack was not as fierce as before.
Could it be that reinforcements have arrived? !
impossible!
Sun Bo had already been in contact with Liu Ming and learned from Liu Ming that although the Northern Territory sent 10,000 cavalry, the scale was so vast that the cavalry's greatest speed advantage was lost.
Only five days have passed at this time, and it will take at least five more days before the northern army can reach the battlefield.
At this time, the reinforcements that suddenly appeared could never be the northern army.
At the same time, this army has extremely strong combat effectiveness and can allow the rebels to flee.
Just when Sun Bo was puzzled, under the escort of Zhao Zhenhai, the Black Cavalry had arrived at the battlefield and immediately launched an attack on the enemy.
A full thousand black knights, like impregnable iron barrels, collided with the enemy, and the formation was torn apart on the spot.
The formation was in chaos, and the advantage of Zhao Zhenhai's Qingqi became apparent.
Arrows were fired indiscriminately, and countless people fell to the ground.
The Black Cavalry never fights alone. It cooperates the most with the Beixi Qingqi and has the most tacit understanding.
The Black Cavalry did not tangle with the enemy at all. As long as the formation was disrupted, they would retreat directly, and the Beixi Qingqi would be responsible for hunting and harvesting.
When these two light and heavy cavalry teams work together, one plus one is greater than two.
The black cavalry was responsible for breaking the formation, and the Beixi light cavalry was responsible for harvesting. The rebels retreated steadily. It was not until the rebels retreated to the defense line of the heavy armored soldiers that the situation was stabilized again.
This time, Gusu City spent a lot of money to destroy Sun Bo's vanguard.
Just two thousand heavily armored soldiers were dispatched!
These two thousand heavily armored soldiers always formed a tight formation, advancing slowly, killing gods when they met, and killing Buddhas when they met.
Whether it was Sun Bo's vanguard or Beixi's light cavalry, they were unable to compete with them. They could only retreat continuously to avoid any head-on conflict with this heavily armored soldier who was armed to the teeth.
At this time, with the appearance of the black knight, the two sides inevitably collided.
The heavily armored soldiers were naturally unable to compare with the heavily armored cavalry. Faced with the rampage of the black cavalry, the vanguard was dashed to pieces in the blink of an eye.
But that’s all!
Because these heavily armored soldiers were standing next to each other, they were either holding large shields or holding spears and axes.
Even the Black Cavalry can only break through the first line of defense. When it encounters the rear row of soldiers, it loses its impact in an instant.
Instead, they were gradually surrounded by the other party.
These heavily armored soldiers first relied on their large shields or armor to force their horses to stop, and then used their weapons to greet them.
The armor-breaking ability of spears and axes is so strong that even as strong as a black knight, they cannot withstand it.
After just a few confrontations, the two sides had a brutal exchange.
The heavy armor soldiers lost more than 300 people, and the black cavalry also lost nearly 100 people.
If the fight continues, the black cavalry and the heavily armored soldiers will inevitably perish together, which is naturally a good thing for Sun Bo.
As long as the opponent's heavy armored soldiers are wiped out, he can lead his soldiers to reverse the situation of the battle and kill the remaining light armored rebels.
But this was a serious blow to Qin Feng.
The Black Cavalry is not only expensive to build, but it is also a powerful weapon for breaking formations on the frontal battlefield.
In the end, this head-to-head "resistance battle" ended with the rebels' heavily armored soldiers winning.
The Black Cavalry had no choice but to give up, and under the cover of Beixi Qingqi, they reluctantly withdrew from the brutal battlefield of close combat.
Zhao Zhenhai knew very well that as long as the rebels' heavily armored soldiers could hold the line of defense, it would be unrealistic to defeat this army.
However, the black knight has another huge advantage over the heavily armored soldiers, that is physical strength!
Human physical strength is naturally incomparable to that of war horses.
After a head-to-head fight, the movements of the rebel's heavily armored soldiers became noticeably slower.
After the black cavalry withdrew from the battlefield, under Zhao Zhenhai's signal, they directly bypassed the heavily armored soldiers and went straight to the relatively weak areas on both wings.
Just because the black cavalry can't break through the heavy armor defense line, doesn't mean it can't break through the light armor!
Facing the heavily armored cavalry, including men and horses, weighing thousands of kilograms, a group of lightly armored rebels did not even have the courage to fight. They fled one after another, relying on the heavy armored soldiers to avoid the black cavalry.
Even if a spearman occasionally appears and intends to sneak attack the black cavalry, it will be blocked by Zhao Zhenhai's light cavalry.
After several collisions, although the Black Cavalry was unable to defeat the enemy, it successfully reached Sun Bo's side.
At this time, Sun Bo was already paralyzed from exhaustion, and there were only a few dozen soldiers around him.
Zhao Zhenhai immediately sent troops to rescue Sun Bo and others. At the same time, he relied on messengers and detective horses to continuously explore the battlefield situation.
Since Sun Bo had withdrawn, Zhao Zhenhai became the temporary commander of the battlefield.
He changed his tactics and tried his best to avoid contact with the rebels' heavily armored soldiers. Instead, he cooperated with the black cavalry to continuously drive away the lightly armored rebels.
There is only one goal, which is to rescue the vanguard soldiers who are trapped in a tight siege and are almost unable to support themselves.
As batches of vanguard soldiers withdrew from the battlefield, in the end, almost only Zhao Zhenhai's cavalry was left, still confronting the enemy.
Just when Zhao Zhenhai's horses were almost unable to bear the weight, the enemy army finally began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Obviously, the other party has realized that the strategic intention of encircling and annihilating Sun Bo has failed.
In order to avoid losing precious heavy armor soldiers, retreating at this time is undoubtedly the wisest choice.
When the enemy retreats, it is undoubtedly the best opportunity to pursue them!
Unfortunately, Zhao Zhenhai could only watch the enemy troops retreat and could not think of pursuing them at all.
After all, the physical strength of the people and horses was almost exhausted. In addition, the enemy's heavy-armored soldiers were always behind to protect them. They retreated very slowly and kept their formation undisturbed.
Zhao Zhenhai was not given any chance to take advantage of him.
After this tragic field battle, Sun Bo's vanguard army was reduced from the original 20,000 to only... 2,000!
This is under the premise that he is an elite and has the help of Beixi Qingqi.
If we fight alone, let alone two thousand people left, I am afraid that the army will be broken up when there are still ten thousand people left.
