The Beiyi cavalry took the lead in discovering the horse formation. Realizing that something was wrong, they quickly shouted a warning to the approaching Beiyi infantry. At the same time, they unfurled their bows and nocked arrows, and shot arrows at the horse formation like locusts.
"Put on armor!" Yi Xiaodao ordered. Without thinking, the soldiers from the North took off their armor and covered it on their horses' backs.
The war horses took four hooves and rushed out.
The bows and arrows of the Beiyi cavalry were blocked by the armor on their horses, and no effective killing was carried out. The reins of the war horses were tied together, and they could not escape, so they had to rush forward with their heads buried.
The Beiyi infantry first noticed the horses approaching and were about to form a formation and erect shields to resist. However, they noticed something unusual just after forming their formation. These war horses were not controlled by cavalry, and the backs of each war horse were burning with blazing fire. Some of the horses even had their tails burned bald, and the tongues of fire curled around the horse's buttocks, arousing the horses' ferocity.
Where is this war horse? What a beast!
There are no cavalry to control the war horses, and the war horses are still being forced by the fire. The speed of all the war horses has been fully increased. No matter how ferocious the horses are at this time, there is no way that human power can stop them!
The Beiyi soldiers panicked one by one and turned around to run for their lives. Before the horses could rush forward, the formation was already in disarray. Some Beiyi generals yelled loudly and tried to rearrange the array, but in vain.
The war horses have entered the battle.
The Beiyi infantry formation was knocked upside down by hundreds of horses. Without exception, all the Beiyi soldiers in the first row were killed, either by being hit or trampled to death by horse hooves. Even the armor of some people was ignited by the fire of the horses, and they were burned to death.
The nearby Beiyi soldiers who were not affected were also in disarray. Some wanted to avoid the horses, and some wanted to come to rescue. The entire Beiyi infantry was in chaos and was almost defeated.
Hundreds of people from the Northland Army were stunned when they saw this scene. Hundreds of war horses can actually disrupt the formation of tens of thousands of Beiyi troops?
In fact, the Northern Army saw it one-sidedly. The Northern Army was currently only the vanguard and the vanguard was in a miserable state. The middle and rear troops were still intact. Of course, if the horses are not controlled in time, the central and rear armies are also at risk of being disrupted.
"What are you looking at? Run!" Yi Xiaodao urged the Northland soldiers who looked at them dumbfounded. Only then did they come to their senses, turned around and ran away.
Although Pei Shuozhang is fat, he is not slow at all in running. He even ran in front of Yi Xiaodao, who was the first to start.
"I said, you are too fat!" Yi Xiaodao was quite surprised.
"It's true, it's all tendons, it's real!" Pei Shuozhang turned around and said, running even harder.
Thousands of Northern Yi cavalrymen watched helplessly as the fire horse formation overwhelmed their infantry, but they could do nothing. They were so angry that they clenched the spears and bows in their hands with such force that they wanted to break them. .
"Chase! Don't let them escape!" A general shouted angrily, and all the cavalry immediately mobilized their horses. The two armies gathered together and chased the Northland Army.
Horse hooves swarmed, chasing him closer and closer.
"Chasing... chasing... Big brother, is there anything we can do?" Pei Shuozhang turned around and saw the pursuit of the Beiyi soldiers behind him, and hurriedly asked Yi Xiaodao for advice: "How about... forming a formation to block it?"
Yi Xiaodao shook his head: "We can't stop. Now that we have no armor, we have nothing to block us. If we stop, we will die."
"But... we are really close..." Pei Shuozhang was afraid that Yi Xiaodao wouldn't believe it, so he said eagerly: "Brother, is there nothing we can do?"
"There is a way, but..."
"Don't just think about it. It's time for this. If you can find a way to save my brothers!" Pei Shuozhang didn't care much anymore.
Yi Xiaodao took a few steps faster and ran to Pei Shuozhang's side: "Find dozens of brothers who can run and fight and go straight to Juyi City. The rest will take a detour to the east or west, or there may be a glimmer of hope."
"Why is this?" Pei Shuozhang usually has a good brain, but today he encountered so many clever ideas from Yi Xiaodao that he simply didn't use his brain.
"Jin Chan's plan to escape from his shell is that dozens of brothers only rush towards the city of Juyi, and then they make a protective gesture to protect one person, while the others run away in a detour. The Beiyi people will think that these dozens of brothers must be protecting the general of the army, and the rest They were all routed, so I only pursued these dozens of people, captured the general, and went back to ask for credit."
Pei Shuozhang nodded blankly. This method is excellent, but it will cost dozens more brothers...
Yi Xiaodao also knew that he was confused and did not urge them. These were not his soldiers. He had done his best to save them here, otherwise these people would have died under the third round of charge by the Beiyi Army. Anyway, I can escape, so don't panic.
"One more second of hesitation will put everyone in greater danger." Although Yi Xiaodao didn't care about everyone's life or death, he still reminded Pei Shuozhang.
Pei Shuozhang gritted his teeth and did not respond to Yi Xiaodao. He slowly slowed down and returned to the cavalry behind him: "Pei Jinguan! Chen Dayou! Zhao Yongnian..." He read out more than twenty names in one breath. The people whose names were read all looked at him with firm eyes, as if they had guessed something.
"Follow me and go straight to the city of Juyi. Fight when it's time to fight, die when it's time to die, and accept your fate! The rest of you, follow this brother and take a detour to the west! Remember, I'm not here, you have to listen to this brother... "
"If I don't go, don't count me in." Yi Xiaodao said nonchalantly: "I'm going straight to Juyi City. I can escape with a way out, so why should I take a detour?"
When it comes to escaping, this is not the first time. When has it not been a long-distance attack? This mere hour's distance is really nothing to Yi Xiaodao.
Pei Shuozhang was stunned for a moment, remembering that he had fought with him and was dragged off his horse. Knowing that he was quite capable, he did not force himself. He was replaced by a soldier who had both young and old in his family and was relatively calm, and he was appointed to temporarily lead the remaining people to escape back to Beiyi City.
None of the other soldiers understood Pei Shuozhang's purpose of doing this, and some who wanted to understand did not dare to speak out. At this time, we will discuss logic and strategies with the soldiers, not to mention whether they can understand it. Even if they understand it, how to distribute it will be another problem.
In the army, military orders are like mountains.
Although everyone did not know the reason, they still followed Pei Shuozhang's order. Hundreds of people turned around and ran towards the west. There were only a dozen or so named people left with Pei Shuozhang, plus Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao also had a high opinion of Pei Shuozhang. It seemed that this silly fat man was quite prestigious in the military.
"Brother, now... what should we do? Just... run away?" Pei Shuozhang is a military general after all. He has some martial arts skills but is still not as strong as Yi Xiaodao's internal strength. Now he is starting to pant while talking.
Yi Xiaodao nodded: "Run, don't stop."
Pei Shuozhang had no choice but to shut his mouth and continue running, only getting slightly closer to Yi Xiaodao. After all, who wants to die if he can live?
The Beiyi cavalry was very fast, but was initially shocked by the fire horse formation and was delayed for a while. Now the speed of the Northland Army is rapidly closing, how can one outrun the horse? But just when the Beiyi cavalry were holding guns and preparing to massacre, they saw that the Beiyi army in front was "dividing up".
Most of the Northern Army had turned around and ran westward, and only about twenty of them were still trying to escape towards Juyi City.
"Hmph, Big Fish wants to escape back to the city?" As Yi Xiaodao expected, the Northern Yi Cavalry General immediately identified the leader of the Northern Army among these twenty or so people. Although it is suspected of being mysterious, few people dare to take risks in the face of life and death. Or take a long way to escape? The Northern Yi cavalry generals didn’t believe it.
After all, he guessed it right. Among the twenty or so people, there was a Duke of Daqi. However, they also fell into the trap. No one would have expected that the Duke of Daqi would personally go into danger just to save the people. Those hundreds of soldiers.
"General Pei, the enemy's army is still thirty feet away." The soldier running behind warned. Thirty feet, this is extremely close. For the war horses, it is almost there in a blink of an eye, and the cavalry on the horses can already dance with their spears and prepare to assassinate.
Pei Shuozhang tightened his grip on the gun in his hand. At the same time, he also noticed that Yi Xiaodao did not have a weapon in his hand: "Brother, give you a sword, keep it for self-defense." As he said that, he took the sword from his waist. Next, he threw it to Yi Xiaodao from behind.
"Thank you very much, brother. I will never say thank you for your kindness. If you have the life to go back, I will repay you generously!" After Pei Shuozhang said solemnly, he immediately stopped and took a few steps before stopping, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Fight to the death with me!" Pei Shuozhang rushed out against the crowd with his gun. The other soldiers reacted quickly and turned their guns one after another, following Pei Shuozhang to meet the approaching Beiyi cavalry.
Yi Xiaodao looked at the sword thrown by Pei Shuozhang in his hand, and remembered Pei Shuozhang who had chapped lips but still handed over the water bag in Juyi City: "He is a gentleman, and he should sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman!"
Two balls of fire ignited out of thin air in Yi Xiaodao's hands. Yi Xiaodao turned around and clenched his fists, jumped up, carrying two balls of fire in his hands, passed over the heads of Pei Shuozhang and the soldiers from the North, and met a cavalry general from Beiyi.
"So fast!" The Northland soldiers were dumbfounded. After running for so long, this man could still be so fast? As for the two balls of fire in Yi Xiaodao's hand, they could only understand that although they didn't understand it, they felt it was powerful!
Everyone blinked and watched Yi Xiaodao rush towards the cavalry commander.
In the blink of an eye, a blue light flashed in front of the eyes. It was unknown what it was, and it passed over everyone's heads faster than Yi Xiaodao. The target was also the cavalry commander. Among the crowd, only Pei Shuozhang could see clearly that it was a person...
A flash of sword light was the last thing the Beiyi cavalry saw in his eyes. He wasn't even sure if it was a sword, but he just felt a little uncomfortable in his neck. Just when he was about to reach out and touch it, he felt the world was spinning, and a huge head rolled down and fell to the ground.
I really don’t know how I died.
"Wu Dinggong, I'm not late, am I?" On the saddle of the Beiyi cavalryman, stood a handsome and romantic man with jade trees in the wind, wearing a blue feather fur coat and holding a frost sword in his hand. When he smiles, he is as gentle as jade, like a handsome young man. It's a pity that there are no women on the battlefield here, otherwise it would definitely attract bursts of joy and exclamations.
"You're too late! Take action!" Yi Xiaodao said angrily.
