On the battlefield at Yukou, the Ming and Chuang armies were fighting in close combat, and their eyes were completely red.
The Chu army must survive, and the Ming army must win.
The high-spirited drum beats continued and the high-pitched horns sounded continuously.
The Ming army surrounded them from all sides, making it clear that they wanted to kill them all here.
With their way of survival cut off, the intruders knew very well that their own heads were not heads either to the camp soldiers or to the guard flag troops.
Instead, it's a shiny ingot of silver and the military merit of being promoted to a higher position.
Surrender is likely to result in death, but fighting may not result in death.
Two-quarters of an hour had passed. At this time, the Chuang army, which had fought hard and fought against the odds, once again broke through the Ming army's camp at Yukou.
"Kill!!!"
"rush out!"
Large groups of intruders rushed into the camp at Yukou. No matter how muddy the road was, they did not stop.
They moved forward one step deeper than the other, waving the blades in their hands to kill forward.
Even if they fell into the quagmire, they did not shout anything, but got up and continued moving forward.
With their lives hanging by a thread and a last-ditch battle, among thousands of mountains and valleys, the invading soldiers had only one thought in their minds - kill them out!
"Woo————"
The horns of the invading army sounded loudly in the formation, and a large number of invading troops continued to move forward like a wave, constantly washing and slapping against the Ming army's camp at Yukou.
The Ming Army's Yukou Camp was like a small boat floating in the rough sea during a violent storm, with the possibility of capsizing at any time.
"It's all fucking crazy!"
Li Yuchun gritted his teeth, his eyes widened, and his ferocious face looked like an evil beast that chose people to devour.
At this time, Li Yuchun didn't look half as majestic as usual. The helmet on his head had disappeared at some point. The armor on his body was soaked in blood, and there were traces of swords and guns in many places.
Of the thirty or so servants who were originally guarding him, there were now only about a dozen left.
Li Yuchun's heart was bleeding. Over the past few battles, he had lost almost all of his more than a hundred servants.
"Reinforcements will be here soon."
"Fuck me!"
Li Yuchun clenched the Yanling Saber in his hand, became cruel and roared forward.
If you want to take revenge and make up for your losses, you must hold on to the Yukou camp and keep Gao Yingxiang in the Blackwater Valley.
After the war is over, if Gao Yingxiang is left behind and defends the Yukou camp, he will undoubtedly be the hero of this battle, and he can make up for any losses.
But if he failed to defend the Yukou camp and allowed Gao Yingxiang to escape, then he would be the culprit in this battle. Not to mention whether he could make up for the losses, or whether he would survive or not would be a matter of debate.
"kill!!!"
The sky above Heishui Valley was filled with shouts of killing.
More than 30,000 intruders were organized into five echelons by Gao Yingxiang, and they successively attacked the Yukou camp.
As more and more intruders entered the battlefield, the balance of victory began to tilt in the opposite direction of where the intruders were.
In front of Xianyou Temple, on a high slope.
Gao Yingxiang stood up slowly. The last military order had been issued, and the time was almost three quarters of an hour.
He didn't know when the reinforcements of officers and soldiers would arrive. The rear team of officers and soldiers rushing for reinforcements might take an hour or two hours, but they might arrive overnight.
What he can do is to consider the worst plan, break out of the Blackwater Valley as soon as possible, break through the siege, and escape.
He has dispatched the last reserve team under his command.
Just in front of Gao Yingxiang, the last two remaining elite cavalry under his command, as well as the two groups of cavalry, were already moving forward.
This battle is won or lost, let’s give it a try!
Gao Yingxiang got on the horse brought by the guards, and also took the lance handed by the guards.
Next, he will also join the battlefield.
Gao Yingxiang felt the cold spear in his hand. Since the number of soldiers under his command increased and his power grew, he rarely charged into battle himself.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't have the courage to fight.
"Woo————"
The riding bugle sounded again, and all the guards mounted their horses one after another.
Gao Yingxiang looked forward, all his attention was on the entrance of Heishui Valley in the distance, and he had no idea what was happening to the west.
There were strong winds and rain, and roaring thunder. There seemed to be countless monsters moving through it, rolling over rivers and seas, and roaring loudly along with the thunder.
The loud noise covers up many things.
Chen Wang held the horse's pole upside down, rode the war horse, and trotted down the mountain with the horse.
Behind him, row after row of cavalry were holding the reins and bridles, controlling the horses under them to maintain formation as much as possible, and lined up in steps to follow closely.
The sky is getting darker and darker, with dark clouds covering the sky above Heishui Valley, and no light can shine out from the sky.
The rain is getting heavier, and the original drizzle has turned into moderate rain.
The rainwater deposited and gathered on the ground of Heishui Valley to form puddles of water.
The rain that kept falling from the sky penetrated into the bodies of the soldiers in Heishui Valley along the gaps in their armor.
Gao Yingxiang's eyes were focused on the valley in the northeast, while Chen Wang's eyes were focused on Gao Yingxiang.
There was lightning and thunder, and a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky between the mountains outside the valley. The whole world was illuminated, but it soon dimmed again.
The brief light allowed Chen Wang to see Gao Yingxiang's conspicuous purple banner clearly.
"Rumble--"
The low sound of horse hooves echoed above the Western Mountains, but was soon covered up by the muffled thunder rolling in the distance.
Chen Wang couldn't help but hold Ma Shan's hand tighter again.
At this time, apart from hundreds of personal guards, there were no other troops beside Gao Yingxiang.
The rest of the intruders had already been sent to the front by Gao Yingxiang.
And Gao Yingxiang hadn't discovered him yet.
"drive!"
Chen Wang's eyes were stern, he gave a deep shout, and held the horse's belly with both legs.
The bay red horse under the seat gradually picked up its pace and began to accelerate. It first took small steps with its four hooves and ran forward, and then when it rushed down the mountain ridge, it finally kicked off its four hooves and started running.
The horses behind the cavalry also maintained the same speed, following closely behind the bay-red horses.
The headwind blew against our face, and the flags were raised high.
The rain wet the surface of the flag, and dripping on the flag made a continuous clear sound.
The flags fluttered in the headwind, making dull noises from time to time.
The rain was hitting me head-on, and it was difficult to keep my eyes open under such circumstances.
Chen Wang narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his head slightly, trying to prevent the rain from entering his eyes as much as possible.
The burning murderous intention was burning in his eyes.
The sound of rain, wind, thunder, killing, footsteps, horse hooves, and the clash of gold and gold, countless sounds echoed in the sky above Heishui Valley.
All kinds of sounds mixed into Gao Yingxiang's ears.
Gao Yingxiang raised his head and took one last look at the Ming army camp standing on Beishan.
The battle under the camp was about to be decided, and the cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao had the upper hand.
Firearms and crossbows cannot be used in heavy rain.
The infantry phalanx did not pose much of a threat to the cavalry. They lacked the means of long-range attack and could not prevent the enemy cavalry from approaching and threatening them.
All they can do is use flesh and blood to form a barrier to restrict the activities of the enemy cavalry.
The sound of the riding horn sounded again, and Gao Yingxiang exhaled a breath, which meant that his bodyguards had completed their assembly and were ready for battle.
Gao Yingxiang looked gloomy and looked at the Ming army camp in Yukou in the distance, his thinking a little divergent.
After this battle, even if he was lucky enough to survive, his strength would be greatly reduced, and defeat would inevitably lead to a great loss of prestige.
Among the seventy-two camps, there will definitely be people who have different thoughts in their hearts...
"Rumble--"
Gao Yingxiang's eyes moved slightly. Among the countless chaotic sounds, there was one sound that made him feel the strangest.
He originally thought it was thunder in the distance, but the thunder should come in bursts.
And that weird thunder seemed to have been echoing for a moment.
And originally the sound was very small, as if it came from the distant horizon, but now it seems to be not far away.
Gao Yingxiang turned his head subconsciously and looked westward following the sound.
The pupils in Gao Yingxiang's eyes suddenly dilated due to fear, the hairs on his body stood up, and his whole body was numb as if he had been electrocuted.
Gao Yingxiang had gone through countless storms, but this time he really couldn't control his mood.
In his field of vision, thousands of black shadows were rushing towards his direction on the dim plain.
The thunder that kept echoing was not the thunder from the sky, but the sound of the hooves of thousands of war horses hitting the ground.
A huge bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the dark land as bright as day in an instant.
It also made Gao Yingxiang see more clearly.
The continuous sound of horse hooves resounded like thunder.
The iron hooves of the war horse crushed the muddy road, and countless water splashes and mud spots flew up.
Thousands of Ming army cavalry wearing red clothes and red armor swept over like a prairie fire at this moment.
In front of the group of cavalry, a cavalryman wearing a three-flag moonlight helmet and armor inlaid with red fish scales, holding a horse spear in his hand, led the way.
Behind him, a fiery red flag was constantly waving in the rain.
"Woo————"
The loud sound of the riding bugle suddenly sounded, nearly three hundred steps away!
Chen Wang jumped on his horse and galloped ahead of the thousands of troops. His eyes were fixed on the purple banner belonging to Gao Yingxiang.
After rushing all the way closer, Chen Wang saw that the guards guarding Gao Yingxiang began to react.
Chen Wang saw many waving flags and heard the constant sound of horns.
However, none of this affected Chen Wang's mood at all.
The outcome is decided!
Gao Yingxiang had not long ago dispatched all his reserves in order to break through the Ming army camp at Yukou.
The nearest one is about a mile away from Gao Yingxiang's position.
Now around Gao Yingxiang, there is no team beside him that can immediately come back to support him.
The only people Gao Yingxiang can rely on now are the hundreds of personal guards under his command.
The sound of the hooves of more than 1,800 riders gathered together, and it was as loud as the sound of a swollen river.
And Chen Wang was standing on the cusp of the storm.
"kill!!!"
The deafening shouts of death penetrated the heavy rain curtain and suddenly crashed towards the direction of Gao Yingxiang.
Gao Yingxiang controlled the flustered horses, his face already pale.
Hearing the rumble of horse hooves, Gao Yingxiang suddenly felt that the hillside he was standing on seemed to be shaking, and even had the illusion of being crumbling.
"Stop them!"
The leader who was guarding Gao Yingxiang and commanding the personal guards regained his composure at the last moment. He roared and issued orders urgently.
Although they don't know why a Ming army cavalry suddenly appeared behind them.
But after reacting, the first reaction of the elite knights guarding Gao Yingxiang was to protect Gao Yingxiang.
After all, they were elites selected from hundreds of thousands, and all of them were fierce soldiers who fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Most of the people who can be chosen by Gao Yingxiang's side will have their loyalty guaranteed.
Some of them moved closer to where Gao Yingxiang was, while others, under the orders of the leader and sentry, gripped their weapons and rushed down the slope.
"Walk!"
The leading sentry did not hesitate and whipped Gao Yingxiang's white horse on the buttocks.
"Eh---"
The war horse neighed loudly and suddenly took four hooves and galloped forward quickly.
"Drive!" "Drive!"
A group of personal guards followed behind with whips and prancing horses, guarding Gao Yingxiang and quickly fled in the opposite direction.
Chen Wang saw Gao Yingxiang fleeing eastward, and also saw a group of oncoming elite cavalry guarding Gao Yingxiang.
The war horse's four hooves flipped, making a muffled sound like thunder, and charged down the mountain with an overwhelming force.
Several armored knights suddenly whipped the horses beneath them, speeding up their horses again to protect Chen Wang's sides.
Chen Wang's eyes were cold, his heart was calm, and his mind was clear.
He could feel the rain rushing past his face, slowly soaking into his clothes and armor.
Through the heavy rain curtain, Chen Wang could see the movements and expressions of every enemy in front of him.
"kill!!!"
The roar of the mountain and the tsunami of killing sounds sounded from behind Chen Wang again.
Burning murderous intent burned in Chen Wang's eyes, and the two armies were forty steps apart.
A large number of throwing iron bones flew out of the Ming army's cavalry formation and suddenly smashed into the formation of the Chuang army's elite cavalry. In an instant, more than ten of the Chuang army's elite cavalry who were rushing to the front fell down. The Chuang army's originally Several gaps suddenly appeared in the relatively tight cavalry formation.
Chen Wang gave a cold sigh and held the horse with both hands. He had clearly seen the movements of all the elite cavalry of the intruders in the front line.
While handing over the horse, Chen Wang exerted force with both arms, and the horse in his hand suddenly made a clear clang. m.
The sharp horse blade cut through the thick rain curtain, and then easily cut the neck of the elite rider who was charging straight at him.
A gash was opened in the neck of the elite cavalryman, and hot blood spurted out instantly, staining Chen Wang's armor red.
Only a little bit of flesh and blood remained between his head and body. His head tilted to one side and fell to the ground with a crash.
The unpleasant smell of blood spread everywhere in an instant.
The battle of life and death between cavalry only lasts for a split second. Although the elite cavalry of the intruders charging straight at them are commendable for their courage.
But everything they did was in vain...
Some people died, but not completely...
