Chapter 653: Great Defeat [Please subscribe*Please vote]

The next morning, the Red Flame Cavalry prepared breakfast at three o'clock in the morning and set out for battle at five o'clock.

The previous formation was changed. It was no longer a defensive circle, but instead it changed its formation towards the large flag of the Donghu central army and became a sharp arrow formation.

The ten war beasts covered with black cloth that were originally in the center of the Red Flame Cavalry's defense finally unveiled their mysterious veils when the first rays of sunlight fell in the early morning.

Ten mechanical white tigers were lined up in a row, with ferocious tiger heads, sharp wings, and unstoppable iron claws...

"Clang~Clang" the sound of metal collision came from the ten mechanical white tigers.

The White Tiger was speeding up and running, constantly accelerating and moving forward from behind the Red Flame Cavalry. It soon arrived behind the last soldier of the Red Flame Cavalry. Then, it stretched out its wings, which appeared red in the reflection of the morning sun, and leaped suddenly, flying over the heads of the Red Flame Cavalry soldiers at the rear, and landed steadily in the front of the Red Flame Cavalry.

"What is that?" The Donghu soldiers already knew from the reports of the scouts that the Red Flame Cavalry were about to launch a counterattack.

However, when they saw the majestic war beast appear on the battlefield, they were still shocked.

As a grassland people, they have never seen such a war beast that is the crystallization of high technology.

The warhorse was like a child holding a knife in front of the white tiger, not even half the height of the white tiger.

"Entire army, attack!" Meng Tian drew the sword at his waist, pointed it diagonally at the banner of the Donghu central army, and gave the order to attack.

The sounds of war drums and trumpets also sounded at the same time.

The ten mechanical white tigers led the Red Flame Cavalry to accelerate and launched a fierce attack on the Donghu camp.

The indestructible mechanical white tiger is just as its name suggests, a tiger among the flock of sheep, killing them wantonly.

The tiger's head charged, its claws slapped, its tail swept across, and its huge steel wings swept across, and wherever it went, there was no opponent to match it. The entire Donghu vanguard camp was instantly thrown into chaos under the ravages of the mechanical white tiger.

However, their attacks were unable to leave any injuries on the White Tiger, and after wreaking havoc, the Mechanical White Tiger ignored them and went on to wreak havoc on the surrounding enemy camps.

Before the soldiers of the Donghu vanguard camp could recover and regroup, the sound of heavy iron hooves rang out again and the ground was shaking.

The Red Flame Riders have arrived!
Faced with the Chiyan Cavalry who were ready for battle, the Donghu camp, whose formation was already in disarray, had no will to resist and could only watch helplessly as the cold iron hooves trampled over them.

Not even a single member of the Red Flame Cavalry chose to stop, as if they were out for an outing. Wave after wave of them trampled through their camp, leaving behind a pile of corpses and blood.

"run……"

It was unknown when the Donghu soldiers dropped their weapons and ran towards the rear.

As light cavalry, and desperate cavalry at that, they were very fast, but could they be as fast as a flying white tiger?

As they were fleeing backwards, the sky suddenly turned dark.

The Desperadoes subconsciously looked up and saw the culprit who had just caused their annihilation leaping over their heads.

Then they finally saw the delicate and tender face of the soldier who was in charge of controlling the white tiger's belly, but they could not muster the slightest desire for revenge.

Because their retreating camp was also hit hard by the White Tiger, and behind them were the unstoppable Red Flame Cavalry chasing them.

As a result, they were confused and didn't know where to escape to save their lives.

"Chanyu, retreat!" Under the banner of the Donghu Central Army, the Donghu King, the Donghu Prime Minister, and a group of tribal leaders looked at the front army camps that were destroyed in less than an hour. Their faces were extremely grim, and many of them even trembled with fear.

Unstoppable! In order to surround the Red Flame Cavalry, they dispersed their forces. Although the central army still occupied the majority of the forces, it was still more than that in other directions.

The might of the White Tiger and Red Flame Cavalry made their originally indestructible camp as fragile as paper and broke with just a single poke.

The White Tiger and Red Flame Cavalry always had a firm goal, and they charged unwaveringly towards their central army's banner, destroying everything in their path. Not even a battalion of soldiers could hold back their attack and slow down their speed.

If they don't retreat now, the ferocious war beasts and the bloody Red Flame Riders will appear in front of them within an hour.

"Where else can we retreat to?" The Donghu King's lips turned pale and his face was bloodless.

They never imagined that the war would be so one-sided.

Were not his soldiers brave, and good riders, and great archers?
They are all very brave and strong, but it's useless.

Their swords, spears, axes and halberds could not penetrate the enemy's armor at all, and could not hurt the enemy at all.

This cannot be compensated by manpower and skills.

The gap in equipment made them seem so powerless when facing the Red Flame Cavalry.

Three hundred thousand against thirty thousand, and they are reduced to fleeing!

It would be fine if they could just escape, but they couldn't even cause combat casualties or withdrawal damage to the enemy.

The casualty ratio between the two sides has even exceeded twenty to one, thirty to one, or even higher!

The King of Donghu did not want to retreat, but the ministers and tribal leaders around him forced him to flee to the rear.

"The King of Donghu has escaped!" Meng Yi saw through the telescope that the King of Donghu was unwilling to give up, but was forced to flee by his subordinates.

"How far can the army escape without a plan?" Meng Tian said in a cold voice.

As long as the central army's banner is still there, the Red Flame Cavalry and the White Tigers will always have a direction to pursue, unless the enemy is willing to abandon the central army's banner and escape.

"Keep an eye on the King of Donghu to death!" Han Xin, a member of the Red Flame Cavalry, handed the telescope to the deputy general who was in charge of observing the battlefield.

Killing the general and capturing the flag are the two major military merits, and he must get one of them!
There is a high probability that the flag cannot be captured because of the presence of the Mechanical White Tiger. With the White Tiger's superb lethality and speed, the central army's flag will definitely be captured by the White Tiger.

Therefore, Han Xin set his target on the King of Donghu.

If the King of Donghu flees with the central army's banner, he will have no chance of escaping, so the enemy will definitely abandon the banner in the end.

The deputy general also obviously understood this. He took the telescope and stared at the King of Donghu in the crowd.

On the battlefield, when the central army's flag moved, it was the moment when the army's morale collapsed. After the Donghu central army's flag moved backwards, the entire Donghu camp was in complete chaos.

All the soldiers in the camp subconsciously followed the direction of the banner and retreated, which eventually led to the defeat of the entire army.

The mountains and plains were full of fleeing Donghu soldiers. They followed the central army's banner and fled aimlessly, completely unaware of what to do.

The same thing went to their commanders. They had lost contact with the central army's banner and had no idea how to discipline their soldiers or command them to attack or retreat.

They could only follow the fleeing central army's banner and keep retreating, then constantly merge with other camps, completely losing their organization.
