Chapter 667 Chapter 665 [Flying Feather! Flying Feather! ]

The crisis facing the Feiyu Army soldiers has not been completely resolved.

Both sides had highly mobile cavalry. Although the Feiyu Army was a step faster, the Jing Army quickly caught up.

Under the command of Yan Hu, the Jing army was divided into two parts, with more than 3,000 cavalry chasing relentlessly in the rear, while the other half kept a slight distance and intercepted from the flank.

Their intention was very clear: to prevent the Feiyu Army from escaping to the south and to force them to cross the border and enter the territory of Jing State.

Huangfu Yu knew this very well, but he had no better solution at the moment. If he was entangled by the enemy again, his soldiers might not be able to hold on. After all, the principle of making a strong attack at the beginning and then losing the momentum at the end is a simple truth.

Previously, under his leadership, these 3,000 cavalrymen burst out with extremely rare momentum, and cut a bloody path through, but still sacrificed more than 400 comrades. Of course, they made the Jing army pay a heavier price.

This kind of momentum is difficult to maintain for a long time, because people will feel tired, and the mounts' strength is not endless. When the blood in their hearts gradually cools down, Jing Jun's advantage in military strength will be infinitely magnified.

The most urgent task is to ensure that we are not caught up by the enemy.

As time went by, the two cavalry units entered the Nanjing Road territory of Jingguo one after another.

When they were more than 20 miles southeast of Qingjian County, Huangfu Yu looked up at the towering mountains in front of him, then turned his head and looked around.

The wound on his face was simply bandaged, which temporarily stopped the bleeding, but the pain did not ease.

The soldiers around him were very worried.

Huangfu Yu suddenly raised his right arm and made a gesture, and his personal soldiers immediately spread his order.

“Slow down.”

This was a clear order given by Huangfu Yu, because he could clearly feel the fatigue of his soldiers and knew that it would be difficult for the mounts to keep running fast.

As the Feiyu Army slowed down on its own initiative, the Jing Army cavalry, which was chasing in a fan-shaped pattern from behind, also slowed down under Yan Hu's command.

Until the Feiyu Army came to a complete stop, then they turned their horses in unison and stood proudly in front of the Jing Army.

Logically speaking, the Jing army should take this opportunity to launch a direct attack. This is what the two cavalry generals thought. However, what puzzled them was that Yan Hu ordered the entire army to stop.

On this flat land, two cavalry units that had been on a long-distance march faced each other from a distance.

Yan Hu then slowly called his two comrades to his front and spoke briefly to them. The two were surprised at first, then nodded in agreement, without any dissatisfaction in their hearts.

In the chilly autumn wind, silence permeated the battlefield.

Yan Hu rode his horse forward, followed by dozens of elite cavalrymen.

When he was still more than thirty feet away from the Feiyu Army's position, he pulled the reins and stopped, his powerful voice resounding between heaven and earth.

"Kneel down and surrender, and you will be spared death!"

What responded to him was endless silence, and this silence contained endless ridicule. From the expressions of the Feiyu Army soldiers, it can be seen that these eight words sounded like a dog's barking in their ears.

Yan Hu narrowed his eyes and continued, "This is Dajing territory. You are trapped in a dead end with no chance of survival. Even if our army does not take action, you will be trapped to death. As long as you are willing to lay down your weapons and kneel down to surrender, our lord in charge will guarantee you a way out."

The Jing army cavalry behind him gradually realized that Yanhu wanted to eliminate the more than 2,000 cavalry on the opposite side at the lowest cost, because the strength displayed by the opponent before made Yanhu realize that blindly attacking might result in great losses.

These Jinglian people may not have heard of the phrase "a trapped beast will fight to the bitter end", but they all know how to hunt.

Prey can often unleash great killing power when they are in a situation where they are doomed to die. As long as you give them hope of survival, they can often be easily solved.

There was still silence in the Feiyu Army.

Unlike the panic that the Jinglian people had imagined, these soldiers calmly ate their dry food with clean water, using this precious and short time to replenish their strength.

Huangfu Yu gave Cui Pu a look, and the latter understood and stepped forward, saying loudly: "Our heads are here, come and get them if you want them."

The soldiers in the rear burst into carefree laughter.

Yan Hu's eyes became sharper and he said sternly, "I am willing to give you one last chance. Don't be ungrateful."

Cui Pu laughed and said, "You don't want to retreat, and you don't want to fight. With a cowardly commander like you, it's no wonder that your Jing army is getting worse day by day."

Laughter broke out quickly.

Yan Hu's face darkened and he could not utter the words he had prepared. He knew that if he continued speaking, it would only boost the enemy's morale, so he turned his horse around and returned to the formation.

The Jing army formed a battle formation, like a long snake, and the horses kept snorting and stamping their hooves restlessly.

Huangfu Yu was unable to eat because of the injuries on his face. He took a look at the movements of the Jing army and then rode his horse slowly through the formation.

As he appeared, every soldier of the Feiyu Army looked at his face with admiration.

Huangfu Yu nodded in greeting to these subordinates who had been with him day and night. Just such a simple gesture made the blood in the soldiers' hearts, which had slightly subsided, boil again.

At this moment, Yan Hu, who had tried to persuade them to surrender in vain, gave an order, and more than 6,000 cavalrymen of Jing's army rushed forward like a torrent.

The Feiyu Army soldiers clenched their weapons and, under the leadership of Huangfu Yu, rushed forward again. This time the flood quickly overflowed the dam, and an extremely tragic battle unfolded on the plain.

Jing's army attacked with all their might. The Feiyu army's disadvantage in manpower became increasingly obvious. Their formation was gradually broken up and the two sides became completely entangled.

The originally bright weather suddenly changed, and thick dark clouds covered the sky.

In this gloomy sky, muffled thunder came quietly.

The situation of the Feiyu Army soldiers became more and more dangerous, because manpower is always limited, and the strength of the Jing Army cavalry should not be underestimated. The battle became more and more intense, and people on both sides kept falling.

Huangfu Yu swung his spear and stabbed an enemy to death. He gasped heavily and looked around, and saw that all his comrades had their robes stained with blood.

He endured the pain from the wound on his face and said hoarsely: "Hold on, reinforcements are coming!"

The guards beside him immediately shouted: "Reinforcements are coming!"

In this desperate situation, the Feiyu Army relied entirely on willpower to persevere. When the shouts spread, many people were no longer able to respond, but they still struggled to hold on, holding their weapons with slightly trembling hands, and continued to fight for their lives with the enemies in front of them.

The Jing army naturally also heard the shouting. At this moment, they had completely gained the upper hand, and it seemed that there was no suspense in strangling the Southern Qi cavalry, so the opponent's shouting sounded like futile self-consolation to them.

At this moment, some of the Jing army cavalry on the edge of the battlefield heard the muffled thunder rolling in the sky and subconsciously looked to the southeast.

At this moment their faces suddenly changed.

"The enemy is attacking!"

"The enemy is attacking!"

"The enemy is attacking!"

The shouts of the Jinglian people gathered from the edge of the battlefield to the center. Yan Hu, who was riding his horse and charging into battle under the general's flag, turned his head suddenly. Although his vision was blocked by the heavy shadows of the people, he could still see the billowing dust rising into the sky from the southeast direction.

Huangfu Yu, who was surrounded by Jing's army, waved his gun to force back the enemies in front of him. Although it would hurt his wound, he still couldn't help but let out a hideous and satisfied laugh.

"Reinforcements are coming! General Li is here!"

Cui Pu roared loudly, and this extremely excited emotion spread quickly.

It was as if infinite power was injected into the hearts of the Feiyu Army soldiers.

In contrast, the Jing army's cavalry was obviously a little panicked.

Under normal circumstances, cavalrymen would not panic when facing an enemy attack, because as long as they did not actively step into a desperate situation, they could choose to distance themselves and reorganize their formation in time after discovering the enemy.

However, the current situation does not allow them to do so.

In order to strangle the Southern Qi cavalry in front of them, the Jing army's formation was in a posture of surrounding the enemy on all sides. As the fighting progressed, the two sides were intertwined and mixed together, and for a while they were unable to organize themselves effectively.

Not to mention that Yan Hu was in charge of the command, even if Qing Yugong came in person today, he would not be able to do this.

If Yan Hu ordered a retreat at this time, the Jing Army cavalry would be scattered, so he could only temporarily let Huangfu Yu, who was not far away, go and shouted angrily: "Block the right wing!"

This is a very brief command, and only such a clear command can prevent the formation from being completely disrupted.

However, how could the reinforcements from Da Qi rushing from the southeast give them the opportunity to respond calmly?

The flying dust swept over, and all of them were elite soldiers and generals. No matter their mounts or armor, one could tell at a glance that they were elite troops.

In front of the army, a large flag with red characters on a black background fluttered in the wind, with two large characters written in iron and silver.

Feiyu!

The general under his command rode a white horse, wearing navy blue armor, holding an iron-edged lance in his hand, and his cold face was filled with sharp murderous intent.

"kill!"

Li Bingxue took the lead, unstoppable, and charged straight into the right wing of Jing army!
The seven thousand elite cavalry were divided into two halves. One part followed Li Bingxue's footsteps and attacked the enemy, while the other part made a slight detour and attacked fiercely from the southern flank of Jing's army.

Under the command of Huangfu Yu, the two thousand soldiers surrounded by Jing's army quickly united together and headed towards the direction where Li Bingxue was leading his troops. They cooperated internally and externally and the attack was successful!
This time it was the Feiyu Army's turn to send out its main force, gaining the advantage in troop strength. Moreover, Li Bingxue's timing of entering the battlefield was extremely precise, just when General Jing's army was about to feel tired.

If she had not come, the Jing army might have been able to strangle the cavalry led by Huangfu Yu with their last breath, but because she came very timely, the situation was reversed in an instant!

Li Bingxue rode her horse at full speed, swinging her lance. Anyone hit was either killed or crippled. No one could withstand her full-strength attack.

Amid the howling autumn wind, the Jing army was defeated step by step, and a thrilling revenge was unfolding.

But if you climb up to the sky and look down from above, you can see a different scene.

In the northeast and southwest of the plain, there was a strong cavalry charging forward and rapidly approaching the battlefield on the plain!
