Seeing the chain of horses charging towards him, the young man in animal armor frowned and put away his horse's bow. He raised his arm again, and not long after, the two thousand eagle guards also raised their cleavers.
Throughout the ages, there has been an unwritten rule. The people of the Central Plains are good at building cities and gates, farming, and even managing the country and bringing peace to the people.
But there is only one thing that I am not good at.
Even though there are many horse farms in the territory, when it comes to horse riding skills, they are definitely not as good as the foreigners on the grassland.
After all, the migrating foreigners who use horses as companions have long been familiar with various riding techniques.
"Horizontal knife!"
Two thousand yellow-armored eagle guards raised their chopping knives and began to gallop on their horses. As soon as they got close to the Central Plains cavalry, they chopped off their heads.
This is undoubtedly a well-matched riding battle.
Of course, if it weren't for the lack of men, horses, and poor armor, Xu Mu would have been more confident and led three thousand heroes who had transformed into powerful soldiers to fight for a reputation.
Under the sky, the cavalry on both sides began to meet each other, and the clanging of spears and cleavers made people's ears hurt.
Si Hu, who was the first to bear the brunt, raised his double-edged ax and struck down. A Yingwei guard tried to block it with his sword, but was chopped off in half.
"You dare——"
"Why don't you dare!" Xu Mu roared, interrupting the young man in beast armor.
If he didn't dare, if he didn't kill, if he didn't have swords, bows and horses, he wouldn't have gone all the way and lived until now.
The young man in the beast armor had a ferocious smile on his face, and he personally used his sword to sweep across, cutting off half of the arm of an old soldier from the Qingtian Battalion.
The old soldier roared in pain and raised his other hand——
Under the light of the sword, another half fell to the ground.
It wasn't until he screamed that he was hoarse that the young man in beast armor chopped off his head with a knife.
Xu Mu's face turned cold.
It's not that they are riding on horseback. The advantage is not that great. Only by using a chain of horse formations to hold back the horses of the two thousand eagle guards, the entire formation is not in chaos.
The rest is a matter of fighting.
Anyone who is too slow or timid will die.
If there were other choices, Xu Mu would not do this. But behind him, to his left, and to his right were Digou who were encircling and suppressing them.
Those who have no way to retreat can only find a way forward.
"Tenggri——"
"You are a fool!"
Si Hu roared and slashed continuously, and then chopped up a yelling Yingwei guard until his face armor was broken into pieces, and even his face was chopped into pieces. He fell straight off his horse and fell.
"General Xu, the horse can't run."
Naturally, he couldn't escape, unless he could kill the eagle guard in front of him and make him retreat.
"Zi-shaped formation! The cavalry blocks it!" Xu Mu said with a cold face.
The thousand armored knights in front roared in response.
Under the current situation, the two sides have fallen into a fierce battle. With two wings separated, there are still changes.
The young man in beast armor raised his head coldly, then quickly raised his hand. Behind him, there were also two wings, separated from the left and right sides, to meet the two wings separated by Xu Mu.
Xu Mu stopped his horse and smiled.
"You're smiling so much." The young man in beast armor frowned when he saw it from a distance.
"You idiot, you have learned the lesson."
I had already guessed that in order to defend against the two wings, the young man in beast armor in front of me would most likely also use two wings to block him.
That's just right.
"Throw the gun." Xu Mu pointed angrily at him.
"General Xu has an order, throw the gun!"
More than a thousand Central Plains cavalry separated from the rear, gaining the distance of vision and judgment. They immediately raised their hands, and while the two wings of the place had just separated, they roared and threw iron spears forward.
The killing move of the Chang family gun is not something flashy. Thousands of spear shadows, with the force of an angry throw, landed on the Eagle Guards who were also surrounded by wings.
The iron spear is heavy and sharp. Compared with the bow and arrow, its penetrating power is still insufficient, but what is valuable is the power of the spear.
The unexpected two to three hundred Eagle Guards were immediately pierced by the dense iron spears, and the double-wing military formations on both sides became a little panicked.
The young man in the beast armor was obviously startled. Unexpectedly, this iron spear was not used for stabbing, but for throwing.
Vaguely, the young man's expression changed slightly in shock.
"Get the long knife!"
More than a thousand people who threw iron spears listened to Xu Mu's words and quickly took out the long knives beside their sash and held them tightly in their hands.
"kill!"
Taking advantage of the chaotic enemy formation, more than a thousand people who were fearless in death covered up and killed them.
The distance of hundreds of steps was reached in an instant.
"retreat."
The expression of the young man in the beast armor changed greatly. After killing the two cavalrymen, he roared and asked the eagle guards on the left and right wings to rejoin the cavalry formation.
The swift movement made Xu Mu frown. Even though their morale was suppressed, this elite force from the royal court was still extremely brave.
This look is really going to block them here.
"Cover the central army with both wings and charge forward."
There is no other way. If they continue to be blocked here, if another Ludi appears, they will definitely die.
"In the Digou Grassland, which is four thousand miles away, I can leave as soon as I come in!"
"Whoever stands in his way will die!"
…
The fighting was fierce. The bodies of those who fell from their horses were not only those of the Eagle Guards, but also those of the Central Plains Cavalry. The corpses were spread all the way.
Xu Mu's eyes remained calm.
The young man in the beast armor was already furious. The casualties in front of him were almost proportional to the battle losses.
When a Central Plains man dies, there will be an eagle guard on his back.
He could see clearly that even if someone was seriously injured and fell off his horse, as long as he was not dead, he would continue to drag the knife and continue to chop.
As the eldest prince of Beidi, he had heard many jokes about the Ji people in the Central Plains. The most common joke was that those Ji people had to be supported on the horse when riding a horse.
But the scene in front of me——
He never thought that this weak Central Plains people would become so bloodthirsty and warlike.
"Come fight!" Around Xu Mu, countless voices roared, either raising their swords or raising their guns.
"Digou is here to fight!"
Si Hu was covered in blood, swinging the giant ax like a god of war. He slashed forward with the ax blade and slashed a mounted eagle guard in front of the young man in beast armor. His yellow armor shattered and he fell off his horse and died.
The young man in animal armor pulled up the reins with a cold face. The armored war horse under his crotch kept retreating backwards.
The elite eagle guards of the Two Thousand Royal Courts could not take any advantage in front of their own house.
Xu Mu took a breath and glanced around with his peripheral vision, his heart suddenly became extremely heavy. In this round, at least six to seven hundred cavalrymen died for their country.
However, the purpose was successful. At least, on the Hezhou front line, more and more Di people have returned to the grassland to join the encirclement and suppression.
"Don't stop, keep charging!"
Following Xu Mu's order, the remaining men and horses fought even more crazily. When the border passes into the grassland, everyone has the mentality of dying in a foreign land.
But in this country, in this world, people will eventually have to fight for, save, and risk their lives like a fool.
Six thousand people left Hezhou, and now, there are only more than 2,000 people left.
"Take a detour and use horse arrows to resist the enemy." The young man in the beast armor glanced at the corpses of the Eagle Guards scattered on the ground and said coldly.
"You're scared!" Xu Mu laughed angrily. Behind him, more than two thousand cavalrymen covered in blood also laughed angrily.
The young man in beast armor huddled in the riding formation, gritted his teeth, and remained silent for a while.
Suddenly, bursts of horse hooves seemed to come from not far away, but very close at hand.
