Xue Kai, who was so overwhelming, did not notice that the more than 300 cavalrymen who escaped had sharp eyes during the retreat, and the panic in their actions was also the effect of the performance.
The five hundred Ningguan Qingqi led by Xue Kai are stepping into the trap of the Beichu people step by step.
Xue Kai also had some doubts in his heart. These cavalrymen were weak in combat but the horses ran very fast. They chased for more than ten miles without killing even one Beichuan cavalryman. They had already arrived at a place controlled by Beichu.
He thought about it and felt relieved. After all, Yingzhou and Liangzhou were the most productive places in the Central Plains. These two places were close to the wilderness grassland, and the bloodlines of the horses they produced were closer to those of grassland horses, both in terms of endurance and running speed. Above the orthodox Chinese horse.
But after thinking about it again, Xue Kai was shocked. Yingzhou horses are good, but of course the best horses will be allocated to the strongest cavalry. If it is a miscellaneous cavalry, they will not be able to get good horses, let alone all the horses under the opponent's crotch. Their speed is astonishing, and the only Northern Chu cavalry that can do this is the Snow Leopard Cavalry!
Thinking of this, Xue Kai hurriedly ordered his cavalry to stop chasing, but it was too late. In an instant, a large group of cavalry surrounded them from all directions, as if there were thousands of them.
"No, I've fallen into a trap!"
Snow leopard riders uniformly wear a silver helmet and silver armor, with a piece of snow leopard skin purchased on their shoulders as decoration, and different fur colors are used to distinguish high and low positions.
The fur of ordinary Snow Leopard Cavalry is white, the fur of generals with lower official positions is yellow, and the fur of generals with higher official positions is red. However, only one Snow Leopard Cavalry has black fur on his shoulders, and that is the Snow Leopard Cavalry Commander. Mu Jianying.
Now the people surrounding Xue Kai and others are actually Snow Leopard Cavalry. This is an elite cavalry of thousands of people. You must know that the total number of Snow Leopard Cavalry claimed by the outside world is only 50,000, and most of these Snow Leopard Cavalry are stationed in the north. The battles on the border between Chu and the Great Wilderness Grassland were much more brutal than those on the Taichu side.
Seeing that the Snow Leopard Cavalry did not take action immediately, Xue Kai shouted loudly: "It's such a big move from Bei Chu to dispatch so many Snow Leopard Cavalry at once. I want to know which general of the Snow Leopard Cavalry is the one who tried every possible means to lead me here?"
The Snow Leopard Riders in front of the road suddenly moved and opened a passage, and hundreds more Riders rushed in. Aren't they the three hundred Riders who lured Xue Kai here?
After the cavalry entered and dispersed to both sides, more than ten more cavalry appeared. Most of the fur on the shoulders of these people was yellow, except for the handsome general at the front who had red fur on the shoulders.
The handsome general said proudly: "I originally wanted to kill more Ningguan defenders, but I didn't expect that a big fish was caught just one day. General Xue Shen, I haven't seen him for several days, and he still looks like the same."
Xue Kai did not panic in such a critical situation. He actually laughed and said: "I was wondering who could stage such a big battle. It turns out that it is His Royal Highness, so it is not surprising."
This handsome general turned out to be Chu Ningjing, the crown prince of Northern Chu.
Chu Ningjing also smiled, with a smile that was both unbearable and disdainful. He shook his head slightly and said, "I hope General Xue Ding can be so calm when he sees the body of his only son. Don't worry, I will definitely return your body." To General Xue Ding."
Chu Ningjing raised a pen, waved her hand forward and said: "Go! Leave no one alive!"
The originally quiet Snow Leopard Cavalry suddenly moved. When stationary, it was as quiet as a statue, but when it moved, it was like a savage beast. The surrounding Snow Leopard Cavalry charged at the trapped Ningguan Cavalry with extremely rapid speed.
Seeing that Tang Jinge and the others had not appeared yet, Xue Kai felt bitter in his heart, but now he had no choice but to fight. He suddenly turned his horse's head and shouted with all his strength: "Everyone, stay back, follow me and rush out of the encirclement, kill!" "
The Ningguan iron and light cavalry immediately launched a charge in the direction they came from with Xue Kai.
Less than 500 Ningguan cavalry faced more than 3,000 Snow Leopard cavalry whose individual strength was superior to them. As long as they could not rush out immediately, they would face catastrophe.
Chu Ningjing had spent so much time to create the current situation. What could he do to let Xue Kai and others escape? Xue Kai and others had the largest number of manpower deployed on their retreat. After they collided and fought hand-to-hand, Ningguan Cavalry immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing that the Snow Leopard Cavalry from the other three directions were also arriving, Chu Ningjing could already imagine Xue Kai's tragic death in battle.
At the critical moment, a scream suddenly sounded from behind the Snow Leopard Rider, and then someone shouted: "There is a sneak attack from behind!"
Being attacked from behind, the elite Snow Leopard Cavalry naturally would not sit still and wait for death. Some of the cavalry immediately turned their horses and tried to stop them, but it was too late. Those Snow Leopard Cavalry who were attacked from both sides were quickly killed, and the Northern Chu Cavalry encircled them. A big hole was torn open.
At this time, Chu Ningjing finally saw the situation of Taichu's reinforcements.
The number of reinforcements was not large, about one hundred and eighty, but their strength was quite good. It might be the reason for the sneak attack. They appeared like wolves into the flock, causing some confusion in the Snow Leopard Cavalry. Now they have joined Xue Kai.
Chu Ningjing calmly commanded his Snow Leopard Cavalry to bring the Taichu reinforcements into the encirclement.
At this time, a person attracted Chu Ningjing's attention. It was a guy with a huge white tiger on his crotch. Two short swords flew in his hands. An ordinary snow leopard cavalry would be beheaded in just a few moves in his hands. Get off the horse.
Just when Chu Ningjing was about to charge towards the extraordinary-looking Taichu cavalry, he saw the man shouting: "Breakout formation, southwest direction, charge!"
Following his order, the one hundred and eighty reinforcements began to line up and attack in the direction they came from. The white tiger cavalry took the lead. The white tiger rushed up and rushed to the front alone. Like a sharp sword, it penetrated the surrounding snow leopards. Among the riders.
It was hard for Chu Ningjing to imagine that the world-famous Snow Leopard Cavalry would be so vulnerable one day when facing a cavalry that was far inferior in number to him.
Those cavalrymen who were like gods descending from the earth rescued Xue Kai and the Ningguan cavalry at a very small price. Chu Ningjing found that even if the weapons hit them, it would be difficult to cause substantial damage to them. The armor there is weird!
Even so, Chu Ningjing was not discouraged. Even if the reinforcements could escape, Xue Kai's horses were not fast. Chu Ningjing was confident that they could catch all the Ningguan cavalry.
After a brief exchange with Xue Kai, Tang Jinge made an incredible move. The Ningguan cavalry led by Xue Kai continued to rush to the rear. Tang Jinge shouted: "Break the enemy's formation, northeast, kill!" The reinforcements actually turned their horses. He charged into the pursuit of the Snow Leopard Cavalry.
Tang Jinge took the lead, and the two Ges continuously attacked to harvest the lives of the Snow Leopard Cavalry, just like the gods of death from ancient times. The other cavalry were not to be outdone, and each fought bravely to kill the enemy, especially Jiang Huaishi, who was wielding a giant hammer, and Yue Kaishan, who was holding a meteor hammer. The weapons on the backs of the respective wolf warriors were continuously thrown out, and the nearby snow leopard riders were continuously knocked off their horses.
This time Chu Ningjing would not let Tang Jinge kill Snow Leopard Cavalier Ze so easily again, he faced Tang Jinge himself.
He was shocked just after the fight. Tang Jinge's strength was too terrifying in the army. You must know that Chu Ningjing was also at the level of a small master. However, facing Tang Jinge's offensive, he was completely at a disadvantage. He was beaten back and forth, which seemed very terrible. It's embarrassing.
It was several other Snow Leopard Cavalry generals who saw that His Majesty the Crown Prince was in a hurry and were worried that something might happen, so they immediately stepped forward to help, and several of them dueled with Tang Jinge to stabilize the situation.
Chu Ningjing shouted while fighting: "I have never met you, can you tell me your name?"
Tang Jinge had no intention of keeping it a secret and said, "The Xinghen Dragon Armor Camp of the Xinghe Sect, Tang Jinge!"
"It's the damn Xinghe Sect again, they're there every time!" Chu Ningjing thought to himself. He recalled the painful memory of Huang Xin taking away the dragon, and he felt resentful in his heart.
Before he had time to think about it, Chu Ningjing discovered that these Xinghe Sect cavalry were invulnerable. He had already lost several hundred cavalry, but the opponent seemed to have no actual losses. If he continued to fight like this, the losses would be too great.
"Dragon Armor!" Chu Ningjing's heart moved, and the information was quickly connected in his mind. If it were anyone else, he might not be able to grasp the connection between the two things, but Chu Ningjing, as the person involved, could easily think of the key to the problem.
The armors worn by the Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion cavalry and their mounts were made from the dragon bodies that Huang Xin brought back that year. Almost all of the entire dragon body was used to build this new army.
The Xinghe Sect gathered the most skilled craftsmen in Yingzhou and spent several years to complete this batch of armor. The main reason why this new army has such a small number of people is that the dragon materials are only enough to build a hundred-man army.
The dragon armor combined with the most elite cavalry of the Tanlang Camp was terrifying enough. The Xinghe Sect was not satisfied and took out the magic weapons in the treasure house to arm this new army to the teeth.
It can be said that the Star Scar Dragon Armor Battalion is the most expensive unit in the world to build alone. It is not surprising that it has such terrifying combat power.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Chu Ningjing immediately ordered his troops to retreat. No matter how brave the Snow Leopard Cavalry was, they were unwilling to fight again in such a fatal situation and retreated in an orderly manner while fighting.
The Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion only pursued briefly and stopped advancing because the front was Beichu's sphere of influence. If they attacked rashly, they might fall into an ambush by the enemy.
The Longjia Army and Ningguan Cavalry cleared the battlefield together and immediately retreated to Ningguan City without stopping.
In this battle, Bei Chu suffered heavy losses. In addition to the more than a hundred ordinary cavalry used as bait, even Bei Chu's elite Snow Leopard Cavalry also lost more than 400 people.
In Taichu, the Ningguan cavalry suffered serious losses when they fell into an enemy ambush. More than 180 cavalry were unable to return to Ningguan City. The Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion has strong individual and collaborative combat capabilities. It is the elite among the elite. But there are no immortals in a battle, and the dragon armor is not without its weaknesses. Two cavalrymen were also killed in the chaos.
It can be said that the Ningguan Iron Cavalry did not play a sufficient role in this battle. It was more than a hundred people from the Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion who withstood the attack of 3,000 Snow Leopard Cavalry and easily defeated the enemy. The Snow Leopard Cavalry who were killed were defeated and retreated.
Of course, Taichu had to publicize such a great victory. Soon, the name of the Star Mark Dragon Armor Camp was resounding throughout the Central Plains. Against the backdrop of the Star Mark Dragon Armor Camp, the Northern Chu Snow Leopard Cavalry looked dim.
At first, many people did not believe it. After all, such achievements were a bit unbelievable. However, as time went by, Beichu did not express any objection. It could be said that they acquiesced to this fact, which made those doubts subside.
In the next few months, the Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion showed its prowess on the northern border of Taichu, causing Beichu to complain incessantly.
But after the Snow Leopard Cavalry returned to Ningguan City, everyone in the Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion had solemn expressions on their faces, and they were not very happy.
