I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Why aren't you giving the order to launch a preemptive strike?"

"The shield bearers are almost all dead!"

Su Chen, who had already retreated back into the formation, couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Whoosh!

Wei Hongying reached out and grabbed Su Chen by the collar of his armor, glaring at him fiercely as she said, "You remember this: in the army, there's only one leader!"

After speaking, Wei Hongying released him, scanned the entire arena, and calmly assessed the situation.

Although the caltrops initially cost the Ironclad Cavalry over a thousand men, most of them still charged forward. The shield bearers in the front ranks were putting up a fierce resistance, being knocked away one by one.

Some of them were killed instantly, without even being able to scream.

Some people were lucky enough not to be killed, but they had countless broken bones and were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

"Drag the wounded away, quickly!"

"Those still alive, fill the gaps, make sure they block the shot!"

"Hooked spear squad, prepare yourselves, ready to strike at any moment!"

Three orders were issued in succession, and the dull sound of war drums rang out. Upon hearing the drums, the soldiers began to carry out the orders, and there was order amidst the chaos!

It's too early to defeat them!

As time went on, more and more Ironclad Cavalry charged into the formation. Their charging speed slowed down considerably, and the Ironclad Cavalry at the back simply lost speed and were forced to push forward, trying to earn some military merit.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Wei Hongying gave the order for the hook-and-sickle spear team to attack.

She even personally led a small team, armed with hook-and-sickle spears, and crouched low as they quietly surrounded them from the flank.

When they were close enough, she and her men suddenly thrust their hook-and-sickle spears out from between the shield bearers!

The hooked spear that was thrust out didn't care whether it could kill the horse directly.

Importantly, the hook-and-sickle spear must be extended between the exposed legs of the Ironclad Pagoda's horses.

Then, with all his might, he pulled back sharply!

When they were pulled back, the Ironclad Cavalry, along with its horse, stumbled as they were pulled along.

Even if the horse isn't pulled down, its legs will be cut by the sharp barbs, making it unable to stand steadily.

In an instant, the situation was completely reversed.

The Ironclad Cavalry, which had been launching a fierce attack, began to stagger in large numbers.

After the horse lost its footing, the soldier on its back was also impaled by the hook-and-sickle spear.

Without horses, the Ironclad Cavalry is like a landlubber.

Although they were covered in heavy armor, they couldn't withstand the overwhelming numbers of the Zhou people.

The swords and spears of the Great Zhou swarmed in, easily penetrating the gaps in the Ironclad Pagoda's armor.

Pierce their vital organs, spurt blood, and end their lives!

As time went by, more and more Ironclad Pagodas were swallowed up by the crowd!

……

"What is that?!"

On the city wall of Qingling Pass, the Northern Mang generals and soldiers couldn't resist leaning out to take a closer look.

How come everything was fine just now, but now it seems that there aren't many Iron Pagodas left still standing?

What happened to those well-trained warhorses? Why did they all fall down?

The Empress was clearly getting anxious, and she stood up and squinted at the scene.

Zhuge Yu also wanted to stand up and look, but found that he couldn't do it no matter what, and he was so anxious that he was covered in sweat.

"How is that possible?"

The empress murmured something and sat back down absentmindedly.

It seems that something has slipped out of her control.

It seems the Ironclad Pagoda is about to lose this battle?

Could it be that she really gave birth to ten or eight children for Qin Li?

"What is that?"

The Empress, eager to know the answer, looked at Qin Li.

Besides the iron caltrops, the Great Zhou also developed some secret weapons specifically targeting the Iron Pagoda.

Qin Li shook his head slightly; he wasn't stupid.

He had worked so hard to create the hook-and-sickle spear; he wasn't going to hand it over so easily.

As for the barbed wire, it was only shown to the Empress as a last resort.

The hook-and-sickle spear will be presented to the Empress a long time from now, definitely not now.

With a smile, Qin Li stretched, stood up, and gazed at the one-sided battlefield in the distance: "It's all time to end this!"

……

"Mo Dao Team! Charge!"

"Let these sons of bitches see the might of our Mo Dao!"

"yes!!"

Amidst the deafening roars, the Mo Dao team, responsible for bringing up the rear, could no longer contain their burning fighting spirit and advanced step by step in perfect unison!

Boom boom boom!

The intense drumbeats of the attack sounded, and the few remaining shield bearers and hook-and-sickle spearmen quickly retreated from the main battlefield, leaving the Mo Dao (陌刀) team to take the lead!

"cut!"

All the soldiers wielding long-handled swords went berserk.

They charged toward the Ironclad soldiers who had fallen from their horses.

A single blow to the head.

click!

Just one cut.

The Ironclad Cavalry's prized heavy armor was shattered with a single strike.

The person was cleaved in two from the shoulder to the waist with a single stroke.

Blood gushed out, red and white, flowing all over the ground!

Even if they were lucky enough not to be hooked by the sickle spear.

The Iron Pagoda is still riding on horseback.

He was also slashed off his horse.

The man and horse were cleaved in two.

Both men and horses were annihilated!

This is the power of the Mo Dao!

What followed was a one-sided crushing and reaping!

Without speed, the heavy armor was like paper in front of the Mo Dao, and they had no chance to fight back.

Soon, the number of Ironclad Cavalry dwindled to hundreds, or even less than a hundred.

The remaining Ironclad soldiers surrounded Murong Lie, completely panicked.

Since its inception, the Iron Pagoda had never suffered such a crushing defeat.

The other party is not human, but a devil.

The strange-looking guns they held.

With just a poke or a pull, they will fall off their horses.

Once they fall off their horses, they can neither outrun nor outfight them.

Even more ruthless was the opponent's massive battle sword.

It could shatter their armor with a single strike.

How can we fight like this?

"General, shall we surrender?"

Many of the Ironclad Cavalry soldiers began to consider surrendering and spoke out.

If we continue fighting, we'll only face certain death.

Surrender, and you can still live.

Murong Lie was about to agree immediately when Gray Eagle and Gray Wolf reached out and grabbed him, advising him:

"My lord, we cannot surrender!"

"Your Majesty and the generals can keep watch from the city walls!"

"Our Iron Pagoda only fights to the death, never surrenders."

"Even if we surrender, we'll still face death when we return!"

"Furthermore, the Regent does not wish for the prince to surrender!"

"If the prince surrenders, the regent's prestige will be greatly diminished."

"Young master, we have no choice but to take a gamble!"

After listening to what the two had to say, Murong Lie closed his eyes in pain and gripped the scimitar in his hand again.

However, the Great Zhou Vanguard Camp had already surrounded them.

With just one order from Wei Hongying, they could be completely wiped out.

"Which one is the commander? Step forward!"

Murong Lie roared.

Wei Hongying rode forward, "I am the captain. What brings you here?"

Listen up!

With red eyes, Murong Lie introduced himself, "This general is the Left General of Northern Mang, the second son of the Regent of Northern Mang!"

Wei Hongying laughed, placing her spear across the saddle. "What? Do you think you hold a high position and are valuable enough that this captain wouldn't dare kill you?"

"Then you are very wrong. Your two princes are in the hands of our army."

"No matter how high your status is, is it higher than that of you two princes?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Lie was utterly devastated.

Taking a few deep breaths, Murong Lie said, "Enough with the nonsense, do you dare to fight this general one-on-one!"

"Although your army has won, my Iron Pagoda still has a hundred cavalrymen. The Iron Pagoda once destroyed a country with just eighteen riders. How many of you do you think it would take to kill us all!"

"Enough with the nonsense!"

After cursing, Wei Hongying couldn't be bothered to listen anymore. She might have considered it before, but now that she had the hook-and-sickle spear and the long-handled sword, the other party was just deceiving himself.

"All troops, heed my command! Charge! Kill this so-called Left General, the Regent's second son! Whoever beheads him, I, the captain, will personally petition His Highness the Crown Prince for your reward!"

"Roar roar roar!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers became excited and swarmed towards the remaining hundred Ironclad Cavalry...
