After listening to the advice, I rebelled and became an emperor of all ages

On the grassland, Li Zhongwu was marching quickly. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, accompanied by the sound of wind and war drums.

The accompanying deputy general looked at the smoke gradually disappearing in the distance, feeling uneasy, and finally couldn't help asking: "General, the battle over there seems to have stopped, could it be..."

He didn't continue talking, his tone was filled with uneasiness, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

After all, the Northern Barbarian Army has put a lot of effort into this ambush, so it must be very difficult for Your Highness.

His eyes unconsciously turned to Li Zhongwu, hoping to see a hint of comfort on the general's face.

Li Zhongwu stared at the sky with a sharp gaze and was silent for a moment.

He couldn't help but hesitate and began to feel a little worried.

At this moment, countless moments flashed through his mind, and his grasp of the situation became increasingly vague. It was clearly an action he had planned, so how could it have turned into the current situation?
"Your Highness' words..." Li Zhongwu whispered to himself, but his heart was surging.

He thought of Lin Zhongyun, the general who was always able to turn the tide in times of crisis.

But now, is Lin Zhongyun also in a desperate situation? Li Zhongwu's heart was full of hesitation and worry.

Along the way, he was thinking about which step he had neglected that led to this situation.

He thought about it over and over again, and the final conclusion was their contempt for the Northern Barbarians.

Even though he felt that something was wrong at Hailan Ranch, he definitely didn't think about it in that direction. He didn't expect that the Northern Barbarian Army would be so cunning and use Hailan Ranch as bait to lure them into the game.

"I underestimated them." Li Zhongwu thought to himself, his face becoming more solemn.

At this moment, it was difficult for him to determine Lin Zhongyun's safety, and he didn't know whose victory the disappearing smoke represented.

At this moment, the deputy general spoke cautiously: "General, if we continue to move forward, will the battle on your side become more dangerous?"

Li Zhongwu thought silently, feeling conflicted.

He understood that continuing the march would mean shifting the pressure from the Northern Barbarians to Lin Zhongyun, but if they stopped, their actions would be meaningless and might even give the enemy a chance to catch their breath.

More importantly, His Highness is in danger now, and as a general, he must reunite with His Highness no matter what.

He was willing to die on the battlefield. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"We can't give up even a glimmer of hope." Li Zhongwu's voice finally rang out, firm and powerful. His eyes rekindled a glimmer of light, as if he saw a faint dawn in the darkness.

"Although the situation is complicated, we cannot let fear dictate our actions. His Highness has turned the tide so many times. He was able to do it before, so he can do it now. His Highness will definitely find a way to deal with the current predicament."

Thinking of this, Li Zhongwu was full of confidence in Lin Zhongyun.

As they walked along the way, the courage and wisdom that Lin Zhongyun showed in countless moments of crisis remained the eternal belief in his heart.

"We must continue to move forward and meet up with His Highness as soon as possible!" he said firmly, "Pass the order down and continue marching!"

"Yes, General!" The deputy general responded quickly, and his heart was also infected by Li Zhongwu's determination, and he cheered up again.

Following the order, the soldiers quickened their pace, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and they galloped towards the unknown future with a glimmer of hope and courage.

Li Zhongwu sat on the horse, praying silently in his heart, hoping that Lin Zhongyun could overcome the difficulties before him and wait for their arrival.

The grassland wind blew on his face, bringing a hint of coolness, but he knew that the road ahead was still full of difficulties.

He must stay calm and lead the team to meet the upcoming challenges. No matter what the outcome, he will continue to move forward with a fearless attitude!

However, at this moment, Hailanhak, who had been lying in ambush, led his elite cavalry to charge out from the opposite side. Taking advantage of the smooth grassland, their speed was like lightning, and they rushed to Li Zhongwu in the blink of an eye.

"Not good!" Hearing the sound of the galloping war horses, Li Zhongwu's face suddenly changed. He pulled the reins and immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert and prepare for battle.

A sense of urgency surged in his heart, and his intuition told him that this ambush was by no means accidental, but a sinister plan that the Northern Barbarian Army had been planning for a long time.

"General, look! We've been ambushed!" The deputy general shouted in horror, pointing at the dense charging cavalry of the Northern Barbarians in front of him.

The black mass of cavalry came like a tide, the horses neighed and the soldiers' shouts were deafening, as if they were going to tear the entire grassland apart.

Li Zhongwu frowned, raised his sword high, and shouted angrily, waking up his deputy general: "All troops, listen up, and form a battle formation to meet the enemy! Although the northern barbarians are brave, we may not be unable to fight them."

His voice echoed in the wind with unquestionable majesty, as if inspiring the fighting spirit of every soldier.

"But, the northern barbarians are so powerful..."

The deputy general said in a trembling voice, obviously filled with anxiety, "General, why don't we retreat? We still have time. If we are held back by the Northern Barbarian Army, then your highness's situation will be precarious."

"Retreat?" Li Zhongwu snorted coldly and shook his head without hesitation: "No, it's too late now."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared coldly at the Northern Barbarian Cavalry rushing towards him.

If he were in the Central Plains, in a normal battle, he might still have a chance to retreat, but the current situation did not allow him to have any thoughts of retreat.

The road on this grassland is smooth and the old fox Hailanhak chose a high point for his ambush, which is most suitable for the cavalry to charge.

In this kind of terrain, the speed and impact of the warhorse can be maximized. If they retreat at this moment, they will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of this group of northern barbarians.

What's more, retreating now means changing direction and making a big circle, which will inevitably waste precious time.

By the time they bypass the Northern Barbarian Army and arrive, it will probably be too late.

He knew in his heart that if the situation with His Highness changed, he would be the sinner of the rebels. He could not bear such a responsibility.

Therefore, there is only one way left for them now, and that is to fight their way out of this vast army.

Li Zhongwu took a deep breath and felt the blood surging in his chest. He knew that only if he tried his best, His Highness might have a glimmer of hope.

"All troops, form a battle array!" He looked back at the troops behind him. In order to support His Highness, he brought only elite cavalry and a few infantry. As for baggage and other things, he did not bring anything except dry food. This was a blessing in disguise. As long as they fought hard to break through, they still had a chance to break out of the siege and join His Highness.

"General, you are right, we must do our best!" A young cavalryman encouraged him, his eyes full of determination and expectation. Li Zhongwu nodded, and his trust in the soldiers became stronger.

Thinking of this, he no longer felt as panicked as before. Strange colors kept flashing in his eyes as he stared at Hailantes who was rushing in the front.

"Soldiers, listen to my orders!" His voice echoed on the battlefield like thunder, penetrating the hearts of every soldier.

The soldiers reacted quickly and formed a defensive line in a tense and orderly manner. They knew that the enemy in front of them should not be underestimated, but under the leadership of Li Zhongwu, they ignited their fighting spirit and vowed to compete with the Northern Barbarian Army.

"General, the Northern Barbarian cavalry is approaching!" the deputy general reminded anxiously. Seeing the enemy army getting closer and closer in his sight, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

"I saw it!" Li Zhongwu answered calmly, but he was thinking quickly about how to deal with it. He knew that the only thing he could do now was to fight back and not let the Northern Barbarian Army's arrogance overwhelm their morale.

"Prepare to meet the enemy, archers, take position!" Li Zhongwu ordered, his voice firm and powerful. He wanted to show the spirit and courage of the righteous army at this moment, even if there were swords and guns in front of him, he would never retreat.

As the order was given, the soldiers got ready. The archers quickly pulled the bowstrings, and the swordsmen gripped their weapons tightly, looking firmly ahead.

They know that today's battle is not only about life and death, but also about their dignity and beliefs.

Seeing that the Northern Barbarians were already within range, Li Zhongwu shouted, "Shoot!"

The next moment, a rain of arrows poured down like locusts, cutting through the air and rushing straight towards the Northern Barbarian cavalry.

The battlefield was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere. Arrows pierced the air, making sharp whistling sounds, carrying the roar and determination of the rebels.

The momentum of the Northern Barbarian Army's charge was temporarily hindered by the rain of arrows, but those thick-skinned and thick-fleshed barbarian warriors quickly broke through the rain of arrows and rushed forward like a tide, without retreating.

Li Zhongwu knew that he could not lead his army to charge at this time. The Beiman Iron Cavalry was incredibly fast, like an unstoppable chariot. If they chose to charge and collide with them, it would be like an egg hitting a stone, and they would definitely end up with bloodshed.

At this time, all they could do was to hold their ground and resist the first wave of attack from the Northern Barbarian Cavalry.

"Hold your ground!" Li Zhongwu encouraged himself secretly, gripping his sword tightly, his eyes sharp as torches.

He was fully aware of the importance of this moment and that he had to withstand this round of charge in order to buy time for subsequent counterattacks.

The war drums thundered, the horns blew, and the atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly tense. As the first warrior of the Hailan tribe, Hailan Tesh raised his scimitar and led the cavalry to meet the enemy.

The warhorse galloped across the grassland, raising a cloud of dust, like a mad lion charging into the black torrent. His figure flickered in the sun, as if proclaiming the pride and bravery of the northern barbarians.

A fearless fighting spirit ignited in his heart, as if at this moment, he was the overlord of the grassland.

The strong wind whistled in his ears, and Li Zhongwu's eyes reflected the approaching Northern Barbarian cavalry.

He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and shouted to the soldiers: "Hold your ground, stand tall! We are the strong shield of the rebels, and the sharp spears of the northern barbarians cannot penetrate our defenses! For our homeland, for His Highness, hold on!"

Li Zhongwu's shout echoed in the wind, and the soldiers' hearts were also infected by this heroic spirit. They roared in unison, ready to meet the impending attack.

Determination was written on every soldier's face. They knew that today's battle was not only about life and death, but also about their dignity and beliefs.

The next moment, what is supposed to arrive will arrive.

Although they had fired a round of volleys before, feather arrows were just feather arrows after all. It was difficult to cause any damage to this group of fully armed elite northern barbarians. At most, it could only slow down their pace of charge.

However, once the charge begins, it is like an arrow shot from a bow, and there is no turning back.

The iron-blooded northern barbarians continued to surge in like a tide, and the neighing of their war horses made people's hearts beat wildly.

Li Zhongwu stared straight ahead. He could feel the tension and oppression in the air, as if the whole world had frozen in this moment.

Just as the Northern Barbarians were about to hit their defense line, Li Zhongwu's voice rang out again: "Hold on...!"

“Bang…bang…bang…!”

But before Li Zhongwu finished his words, the sounds of people and horses falling to the ground suddenly rang out one after another.

The sound of the war horses neighing became particularly sharp at this moment, mixed with the screams and desperate cries of the soldiers.

The rebel army's defense line seemed so fragile under the impact of the Northern Barbarian cavalry, as if a piece of paper was ruthlessly torn.

"It's too late!" Li Zhongwu's heart tightened and the scene in front of him made him feel suffocated.

The Northern Barbarian cavalry charged in like a violent storm. The sound of heavy hooves was deafening. The ground was shaking under their impact and dust was flying. It seemed as if the whole world was trembling at the impending tragedy.

The first row of soldiers were knocked down instantly by the impact. The armor made a harsh metal collision sound under the violent impact, blood splattered everywhere, and screams rang out one after another.

Li Zhongwu felt a pang of pain in his heart as he watched his soldiers being trampled by horses' hooves, their bodies twisted by the impact and unable to stand up again.

"Hold on! Hold on!" He gritted his teeth, as if he was using all his strength to wake up the soldiers who were shrouded in fear.

The scene before him made his heart bleed, but he understood that this was the price of victory, and now they had only one way to go.

However, the rebel army's defense line was torn apart in an instant like a paper wall under the impact of the Northern Barbarian Cavalry.

The soldiers' faces were filled with fear and despair, and the light in their eyes was dim at this moment.

"Quick, counterattack!" Li Zhongwu roared, trying to draw the soldiers' attention away from their fear. He knew that if they did not counterattack immediately, they would be completely defeated.

"Ah!" A soldier was trampled by a horse's hoof, his body flew out and fell heavily to the ground, and his blood dyed the grassland red.

Another soldier tried to block the oncoming cavalry with his sword, but was cut down by a blow, and blood splattered all over his companions, instantly shattering their fighting spirit.

The Northern Barbarian Cavalry was like an unstoppable torrent. The rebel army's formation seemed so fragile in the face of this force that the soldiers were thrown to the ground.

The tragic scene of the broken arms flying across the sky made Li Zhongwu feel heartbroken. He felt powerless, and the battle before him seemed to be out of control. (End of this chapter)
