twin moon

Chapter 165 No.20 Act Two

On the grassland covered with battle clouds, the three-way army with the banners of the crescent moon, leopard head, and gray wolf is winding from west to east, like black ants coming out of a nest.Even though the war drums hadn't sounded and the war horses hadn't charged yet, the footsteps of this hundred thousand troops still made the boundless earth tremble.

The ground otters and red foxes, which were supposed to be the most active in this season, also seemed to be frightened by this terrifying formation, and hid in the soil holes one after another, not daring to show their heads.The large group of black crows that were foraging in the camps of the Muyun Department also followed the army all the way, gathering more and more.The black crows, representing death, hovered and neighed, as if they had already foreseen the coming bloody battle, and even coveted the fresh human flesh that was about to fall on the grassland.

A fast horse went against the flow of people and went straight to the main force of the central army. The man on the horse was drenched in blood and seemed to have been seriously injured, which attracted the attention of the Shodi warriors on both sides.That was the pioneer of the Chuo Luo tribe who went out to explore the way. At this time, he had just rushed to the front of the general, and before he could speak, he fell off his horse and lost his breath!

"The Pioneer Battalion is completely wiped out?!"

Meng Dundang, who was sitting on the cart with Mu He, couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up "crazyly".This time, he deliberately asked his father-in-law to fight, and selected the most elite [-]-man team from the [-] cavalry he brought as a bet for winning the first place.However, what he couldn't accept was that Chuoluo Jinyiqi, who had always been known for his speed, would be killed by a group of exhausted fugitives.

"They must have encountered Iron Mountain!"

Qi Hezhen, who refused to take the car and insisted on driving forward, suddenly interjected, but his eyes showed excitement.Then he raised his whip and lashed the horse's rump twice, rushed straight forward to a low mound, turned back and shouted at the two people on the cart:

"We are about to enter the mountain ahead, there is a pass! The vanguard battalion must have been ambushed there!"

Muhe also stood up from his seat and looked into the distance.

On the other side of the horizon, the cloud-shrouded Lancang Mountain has gradually revealed its true face.The blue-gray rocks drilled out of the yellow-brown permafrost gradually formed a continuous tall mountain range, like a canine-tooth-like screen rising from the ground, covering most of the sky.

"From this point of view, the Vanguard Battalion is far more than half a day ahead of the main force of the coalition forces. In such a terrain, it is normal to underestimate the enemy and wipe them out. I just don't know how many iron mountains the opponent has used. Is it planning to defend to the death, or is it just a feint?" gun?"

The elder brushed his beard and commented, as if the current loss was not worth mentioning at all.Monton, who was standing by the side, didn't dare to refute a word, but put his right hand on his left chest, and saluted respectfully:
"Xiao Xu is willing to lead the team in person, and then go to the enemy's position to find out."

Unexpectedly, Mu Hyuk did not agree, but sneered:
"No need. The opponent's arm is like a cart. Even if they arrange all three thousand iron mountains under that pass, they will only struggle for an hour or two before dying!"

"May I ask Father-in-law what tricks he has?"

"Lead the snake out of the hole, please enter the urn!"

Mu He only said a few words, but his face was full of confidence that he was sure of winning.Seeing this, Meng Dun didn't ask any more questions, and turned his head and shouted loudly to order the three-way army to hurry up.

At the same time, Tie Chongshan, who had just wiped out the enemy's forward, was regrouping at the pass behind Jiang Yan, preparing for the coming more violent impact.In the previous confrontation, these heavy cavalry did not suffer any casualties.The victory in the first battle boosted their morale even more, and everyone's face showed the desire for victory.

Although only over a thousand people were beheaded in this battle, the road leading to the pass was covered by the scattered corpses.The blood soaked the frozen soil under the horse's hooves, and soon coagulated again.Even so, the black-eyed boy did not order anyone to expend energy to clean up the battlefield, but left all the remains and severed limbs where they were.

Lidong is now past.The wind blowing from the tundra in the north is getting stronger and colder. It seems that the first snow on the grassland is about to come.

The black-eyed boy led his horse back and forth in front of the pass. Even though the enemy army had not yet arrived, he did not relax his vigilance at all.At this time, what he was riding on was a Qingli horse wearing the same heavy armor as Tie Chongshan.This horse was personally delivered to him by Yuan Ti before his departure.

Until this moment, the young man still clearly remembered the conversation he had with the old general when he sent the horse.

"...Although this Qingli horse is a bit old, it has been battle-tested, very obedient, and knows how to protect its master on the battlefield."

"But what I need is a young and strong horse."

"If you ride a good horse, you may not be able to win a battle. And an excellent king should understand better that at some point it is necessary to make a choice."

"What is a trade-off? I don't quite understand what the old general said."

"Dare to ask Hehan, if this trip of the old minister does not achieve the result you want, do you really plan to bring the princess along to be buried for the Muyun tribe on this desolate grassland?!"

"I--"

"The old minister is not talking about frustration, but just wants to remind Hehan that if that day really comes, you should take Tuya, step on this green lily horse, and go as far as possible. The horse knows the way home ..."

Until now, Jiang Yan still doesn't know what the other party meant by the way home.He once worried in his heart whether Yuan Ti could really complete the mission he entrusted.Every time he thought of this, he would shake his head vigorously, as if he wanted to shake this absurd idea out of his mind.

However, he soon had no time to let his thoughts wander.With a long howl of a dysprosium arrow piercing the air, a thin black line appeared on the horizon.Soon, the black line became clearer and clearer—it was a huge army intertwined with countless people, and it was the most terrifying force on the entire Shuobei Grassland at the moment!
Lifting Yan Gao up Xiaotianmo in his hand, he shouted: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"

Tie Chongshan deserves to be the number one cavalry in Shuobei.Even in front of the strict military discipline of Guan Ning soldiers and Qingyong cavalry, the mighty array is not inferior in the slightest.Three thousand iron heavy mountains consist of a brigade of [-] riders, and in the blink of an eye, two front and arrow formations, one in front and one in the back, are formed under the pass.

But even so, the black-eyed boy could see the sense of oppression from the [-] enemy soldiers in the eyes of the riders, as well as the involuntary fear in each other's hearts.

Seeming to have seen too many deaths on the battlefield, Qing Li also seemed a little timid and took a few steps back, unwilling to step on the frozen blood on the ground.The boy raised his hand and patted the mount's neck, signaling it not to be nervous.

Now, no matter how worried they are about the upcoming battle, and no matter how good the odds are, they can no longer retreat lightly.Before Tuya leads the crowd to hide in Garhai City, even if he is the last person in the battle, he and the heavy iron mountain behind him must stick to it!
Jiang Yan tightly held the reins in his hand, took the horse and galloped past the neatly lined cavalry:
"Now, you should all know me. At this moment, there may still be some people who are not convinced, think that I am a foreigner, and even want to kill me with a knife to avenge Qin Na, right?"

None of the heavy armored cavalry expected that this black-eyed boy from the South would say what they had always thought in their hearts before the battle, but they dared not say it lightly.They turned their heads to look at the comrades beside each other, with puzzled faces, and even some straightforward people nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yan saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't care about the performance of the knights, and suddenly changed the subject:
"That's right, I am a southerner. I also personally killed Hehan Qinna, the predecessor of the Muyun tribe, and married Princess Tuya. But because of this, my fate is the same as that of the kings present. The entire Muyun Department is firmly bound together! Today we are not the Nanren and Di people who are at odds with each other, but comrades fighting bloody battles! Today we are not enemies who are life and death, but people who share life and death The same family! The long sword in our hands is the only hope for the tens of thousands of people behind us to reach the city of Garhai. And our body is the only barrier to block the [-] troops in front! We can bear it, our own home Has your family been insulted and defiled?!"

"I can't bear it!"

"Can we endure that our own bloodlines are put in shackles and will be slaves forever?!"

"I can't bear it!"

"Then please remember, today's battle is not for me, a southerner, Hehan, nor for Princess Tuya, but for the entire Muyun tribe, for all the people we cherish! Tie Chongshan ,charge!"

Encouraged by Jiang Yan, the three thousand cavalry burst into battle roars as loud as thousands of people shouted.Under the whip of the knight on his back, the war horse galloped across the grassland.There was no confusion or doubt in the eyes of the soldiers, but with their own flesh and blood, they rushed towards the enemy line that could almost swallow everything in front of them.

And the one who rushed to the front of the team was the boy riding Qingli!
Clouds of white mist sprayed out from the horse's nose, and the dust rising from the horse's hooves also covered the sky, and the scimitars shining in the hands of the warriors reflected the murderous anger in their eyes!
The [-] army led by Mu He had just stood still, and before he had time to form his formation, he saw [-] cavalry coming towards him like the north wind blowing across the ground, and he couldn't help feeling a little flustered.Coupled with the large number of them, they were huddled together for a while, without any orders.

The two armies met, and blood splattered everywhere.Tie Chongshan broke into the enemy's formation in one fell swoop, unexpectedly gaining some advantage.Seeing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately twitched his horse's butt a few times, and cut another piece of it with the black-gold Mo knife in his hand in an instant.

"Continue to advance!"

Tie Chongshan's armor was so hard that even with the sharpest blade, it could only draw a shallow mark.After killing one back and forth in the enemy's formation, only a few people in the heavy cavalry team were picked off their horses.This made the young Hehan's confidence increase sharply, and he did not order a retreat, but planned to attack the enemy's central army while the opponent's foothold was not stable.His target was pointing directly at Muhe who had already appeared in the field of vision, sitting on the cart with the handsome wolf flag!
On the other side, when they saw Tie Chongshan, Qi Hezhen and Meng Dun had already rushed to the front, and asked Mu He for a fight.At this moment, the two are still competing in secret. Seeing that the front army formation has been dispersed, they both want to take this opportunity to show their strength.

Mu He on the cart was not in a hurry: "No one is allowed to move. Pass my order and order the crossbowmen to launch three salvos!"

"Salvo? There are still our own warriors ahead!"

Meng Dun obviously couldn't understand this kind of behavior of shooting arrows at his own people, but before he could say anything more, Qi Hezhen passed on the order without hesitation!
There was only a sound of the bowstring, and the rain of arrows rose like a dark cloud from the rear of the army and fell straight to the battlefield where the battle was stalemate.The heavy armor worn by Tie Chongshan would not suffer any damage at all under this level of attack, but the warriors of Chuoro and Wuma tribe who were turning their spears and preparing to continue fighting were all shot by the feathers released by their own people. The arrow was shot, and he fell to the ground and howled.

Jiang Yan didn't expect the other party to make such a bad move, and froze in place for a while.He couldn't figure out what kind of results Muhe wanted to reap by using this strategy of self-inflicted damage, but failed to injure the enemy at all.

For a while, there was not even a single enemy soldier left around Tie Chongshan.The cavalry lost their target for a moment and stopped in place one after another.Jiang Yan faintly realized that the situation was wrong, and immediately ordered to continue the attack:

"Don't stop! We can't stop here!"

However, the order came a step too late.

A hissing sound came from nowhere, and Qingli under Xinhan's crotch seemed to see a poisonous snake, suddenly pricked up his ears nervously, and snorted irritably.Immediately afterwards, the flames filled the air and there were loud noises.It was as if the thunder light from the sky fell on the ground, and those bodies that had been shot by the arrows just now all burst apart at the feet of the heavy armored cavalry without warning!
No matter what, Jiang Yan never imagined that all the feathered arrows shot before had been tampered with in advance.And that hissing sound was the prelude to the triggering of the fire like lightning and thunder!
The young man suddenly felt as if he had turned into a flea that accidentally landed on the drum, and became involuntary.With the explosion of corpses one by one, the ground at the foot of Tiezhong Mountain began to tremble violently, and the mount under his crotch refused to continue to obey the command of its master.

Finally, the debris splashed by the explosion injured the armored horse.The horse stood up in shock, knocking the riders on its back to the ground one after another.The loud noise also overshadowed Jiang Yan's hysterical roar.In the blink of an eye, Sanqian Iron Armor lost command.The formation that was originally piercing into the enemy's formation like a sharp arrow suddenly turned into a mess of scattered sand, and each fought independently.

"Have you all seen it? This is the sharp weapon that the expert gave me. Try it out today, use it to attack the city in the future, and take down Garhai just around the corner!"

Standing on the cart, Mu He chuckled, admiring the scene in front of him.His plan succeeded, and in the blink of an eye, the situation on the field has undergone a huge reversal.And under the command of Qi Hezhen and Meng Dun, the tens of thousands of troops on the two wings of the army formation also surged like a tide, and surrounded Jiang Yan and Tie Chongshan!
