The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 99 Cavalry Attacks

Chapter 99 Cavalry Attacks
When Yang Kang saw Kublai's Mongolian cavalry charging into the main force of the Jin army not far away, he knew that the battle was over.

Wanyan Hongxi was a good-for-nothing who had no idea how to command troops, and the Jin army almost collapsed at the first blow.

Yang Kang had no intention of rescuing anyone, but when he wanted to retreat, Kublai Lai had apparently discovered him.

"kill!"

The Mongolian cavalry came again. Yang Kang looked at the Mongolian cavalry rushing towards him. There were only three thousand of them. It was obvious that Kublai did not take him seriously at all.

"Do you underestimate me?" Yang Kang was aroused to war.

He drew out his sword, used his inner strength to increase his voice, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, the Mongolian Tartars are killing people everywhere and massacring cities at will. Only a desperate battle can give us a glimmer of hope. Soldiers, follow me and kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The 5,000 elite cavalry led by Yang Kang collided with the 3,000 Mongolian cavalry arranged by Kublai Lai, and a fierce battle began.

……

The grassland is vast and the setting sun is blood-red.

In Huanglongfu, an important town in Liaodong of the Jin Dynasty, the flags on the city walls had changed color at some point.

On that flag was painted a picture of surging waves holding up the sun and the moon.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the "Sun, Moon and Waves Flag", the symbol of the Dajiang League.

The Dajiang League started out as a water power, claiming to use water to hold up the sun and the moon and illuminate the world.

Fang Hao's ambitions and aspirations are actually hidden under this banner.

At this moment, under the banner of Sun, Moon and Waves, stood a middle-aged man wearing heavy armor. Although his face was weather-beaten, he had a resolute expression. This man held a spear in his hand and stood on the top of the city like a javelin. He was none other than Yang Tiexin, the current commander of the Dajiang League's army.

Ten years later, Yang Tiexin had long since gotten over his loneliness and learned the "Wu Mu Testament" from Fang Hao.

Combining the military books and spearmanship passed down from generation to generation in the Yang family, and with the support of sufficient resources from the Dajiang League, Yang Tiexin imitated Yue Fei's Beiwei Army and trained an elite force of 5,000 men.

These elite soldiers are full-time soldiers who wear armor and ride horses, and are proficient in horse and foot combat. They are the strongest military force in Fang Hao's hands.

After the new army was trained, Yang Tiexin led these elite soldiers to start the campaign of suppressing bandits in Liaodong. Yang Tiexin knew very well that in order to become elite soldiers, the baptism of blood and fire was indispensable.

After experiencing real fighting, the spirit of this new army changed again, becoming deeper and more aggressive.

As the commander of this army, Yang Tiexin has undergone a complete transformation compared to ten years ago. He has become confident and excited about the prospect of war.

"Commander Yang, urgent military intelligence: a Jin army engaged in an engagement with Mongolian cavalry on the way to our Huanglongfu." said the intelligence scout from Jianghu Inn.

"Who are the leading generals of the two sides?" Yang Tiexin said in a deep voice.

"The commander of the Jin army is Prince Rong Wanyan Hongxi, and the commander of the Mongolian army is Jamuka's trusted and beloved general Kublai Lai." The intelligence scout continued.

"Wanyan Hongxi?" Yang Tiexin showed disdain. Based on the intelligence about the upper echelons of the Jin Dynasty that Jianghu Xiaozhan had collected over the past ten years, Yang Tiexin was almost certain that this man was a playboy and could not be of any great use.

As for Kublai Lai, he was a veteran who had experienced many battles and was good at cavalry combat. There was no comparison between the two sides.

"There is one more matter that I think I should report to Commander Yang," the intelligence spy continued.

"What's the matter?" Yang Tiexin frowned.

"Wanyan Hongxi's deputy general is Wanyan Honglie's son, Wanyan Kang." The intelligence spy stopped there.

With his rank, he was qualified to know the relationship between Yang Tiexin and the new King Zhao of the Great Jin Kingdom.

Wanyan Kang, whose real name is Yang Kang, is the biological son of Yang Tiexin, the current commander of the Dajiang Alliance Army.

"Really?" Hearing the name again, Yang Tiexin was filled with emotion.

At this moment, he thought of his previous experience of poverty and destitution, and his good fortune after meeting a wise master. Fang Hao could be said to have given Yang Tiexin a second life.

This plan to attack Liaodong was the result of joint discussion by many senior leaders of the Dajiang League after several years of deliberation and the gathering of countless resources.

A large amount of manpower, financial and material resources were transported to Liaodong via the Dajiang League’s huge maritime fleet.

This is the starting point for the Dajiang Alliance to participate in the game of conquering the world, and we cannot afford to lose!
Thinking of this, Yang Tiexin sighed and said, "Let's proceed according to the original plan!"

"Yes!" The intelligence spy retreated as instructed.

……

Yang Kang was on the run, fleeing towards Huanglongfu.

The previous encounter proved that he was wrong, completely wrong. A sick tiger would not be cured by a few words from him.

Even though he led his personal guards to charge forward and fought bravely, his 5,000 troops still collapsed after the Mongolian cavalry launched a third charge.

In order to survive, he had no choice but to escape, but this place was far away from Zhongdu, and returning the same way would be tantamount to seeking death.

Only by fleeing to Huanglongfu and seeking help from the local garrison and relying on the strong city defense could they keep the Mongolian cavalry led by Kublai Lai out.

This is his only chance to survive!

Kublai's troops kept chasing after Yang Kang's defeated army. The strange thing was that the two sides were always separated by a relatively safe distance, which made Yang Kang believe that he could escape.

Yes, all this was Kublai Lai's plan. He wanted to use Yang Kang to open the gate of Huanglongfu. Then the army would attack all the way and capture the fortified city of Huanglongfu without bloodshed.

Of course, if the defenders of Huanglong Mansion had not fallen into the trap, it would not be too late for him to kill Yang Kang and others.

Just as the two cavalry units were passing through a valley, one in front and one behind, they suddenly heard a cannon shot and the sound of war drums was heard everywhere. It turned out that the new army of the Dajiang League that had been ambushed here long ago had taken action!
When Kublai Lai saw thousands of fully armored soldiers rushing out from both sides of the valley, he knew he had fallen into a trap, but he was not worried because he had fought against too many Jin troops.

How should I put it? Most of them were just chickens and dogs, and they were defeated in one battle. The slightly better ones could only withstand the three rounds of charge by his warriors.

Therefore, he was fearless.

He didn't know that this army was not the Jin army at all, but a new army trained by the Dajiang Alliance according to the tactics of the Beiwei Army!
"kill!"

Yang Tiexin responded calmly and gave command calmly, ordering his cavalry to form a formation and charge.

Kublai Lai looked at this imposing army and suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

Everything that happened next confirmed his guess.

"Archery!"

"Release the crossbow!"

"Cavalry charge!"

"Charge in formation!"

In the first round of this battle between cavalry and cavalry, the two were evenly matched.

After the second round, it was the new army led by Yang Tiexin that gained the upper hand.

At the end of the third round, the new army was already chasing the Mongolian cavalry!

"I actually lost?" Hubi Lai was stunned.

Where did this army come from? It definitely couldn’t be the Jin Army!
