At 100 years old, he joined the army in place of his granddaughter, and became a national war god.

"kill……"

A thunderous roar that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth suddenly exploded out, powerful and resounding, carrying boundless bloodlust, and soaring straight into the sky!

At the end of the dust storm, ten thousand Great Qian cavalrymen galloped out!

Black armor gleams, iron horses and black spears, everyone with long swords at their waists and powerful crossbows on their backs, warhorses clad in heavy armor, their hooves wrapped in iron, trampling through the sand and dust.

The entire cavalry formation was perfectly aligned, advancing and retreating in unison, without the slightest disorder. It was like a peerless sword, forged in fire and now gleaming with unstoppable momentum, fiercely piercing through the rear of the Yan army inside the pass!

At the very front of the formation, three young men rode their horses ahead, each one leading the charge, displaying unparalleled bravery and courage!

It was Xiao Yunchuan, Xiao Yichun, and Xiao Yidong!

Having followed Su Mu on the battlefield for a long time, the once naive boy has shed his immaturity. Clad in iron-blooded armor, his posture is as upright as a pine tree, his eyes are as sharp as frost, and his aura of killing intent is fierce and intimidating. He is already a seasoned and blood-soaked warrior.

Especially Xiao Yunchuan, who was leading the way, held a broad-backed heavy sword, galloped on his horse, his black hair dancing wildly in the wind, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. Looking at his third brother Xiao Yunche, who was surrounded and fighting a bloody battle in the pass, and at the Daqian soldiers who were dead and wounded everywhere and struggling to hold on, his anger and bloodlust exploded completely!

He raised his arm and brandished his sword, letting out a long, sharp cry that pierced the wind and echoed throughout the heavens and earth: "All troops, heed my command! Attack with all your might!"

"Break through the Yan army's encirclement! Rescue the Third Prince! Rescue my brothers of the Great Qian! We will not yield an inch, we will fight to the death to defeat the enemy!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Ten thousand Great Qian cavalry roared in unison, their voices overlapping and shaking the surrounding area, dispelling the long-standing silence and despair on the battlefield!

This elite cavalry of the Great Qian Dynasty has undergone rigorous training, is disciplined, and boasts unparalleled combat power in the northern frontier. Every member is a battle-hardened warrior, selected from among thousands.

At this moment, everyone's fighting spirit was boiling. The horses accelerated, the iron horses galloped, and the entire army was united as one, sharp and unstoppable, crushing and advancing fiercely towards the unsuspecting rear of the Yan army!

The ground shook as the horses' hooves pounded the earth!

The Yan army, which was fully engaged in surrounding Xiao Yunche's remaining troops and was confident of victory, finally noticed the shocking movement behind them!

A Yan army general in charge of guarding the rear suddenly turned around and saw the surging torrent of iron cavalry rushing in from beyond the pass. Seeing the gleam of their armor obscuring the sky and the billowing dust, his face instantly turned deathly pale, his soul nearly leaving his body. He roared in a bloodcurdling voice:

"Enemy at the rear! It's the Great Qian reinforcements! Turn around immediately to meet them! Form ranks and block them! Quickly!"

A panicked scream suddenly rang out!

The tens of thousands of Yan soldiers in the rear were suddenly thrown into chaos, hastily changing their formation, raising their shields and drawing their swords to hastily meet the enemy.

But it was all too late!

The Great Qian cavalry's charge has already taken shape, speeding forward at breakneck speed, unstoppable!

The seasoned cavalry are best known for their high-speed charges and ability to break through enemy lines and crush their opponents.

At high speeds, the immense power of the warhorse and the killing intent of the soldiers merge into one, transforming into an unparalleled destructive force!

Before the Yan army could fully form ranks and stabilize their defenses, a thunderous roar erupted!

Ten thousand iron cavalrymen had already crashed fiercely into the rear of the Yan army!

puff!

Click!

Screams of agony!

crack!

In an instant, a fierce battle suddenly broke out!

The high-speed charging warhorses crashed through layers of shield soldiers, their hard bodies causing Yan soldiers to break bones and fall backward into pools of blood.

The cavalrymen swept and slashed with their long swords, and as the cold light flashed, heads flew and blood spurted out!

The Yan army, believing the situation was under control and confident of encirclement, was completely unprepared for battle. Their formation was loose, and morale was low. Faced with this lightning-fast, elite cavalry force, they were utterly powerless to resist!

It's like tofu hitting a sharp blade; it shatters at the slightest touch!

Squads of Yan soldiers were crushed and torn apart by the iron cavalry, and layers of battle formations were forcibly pierced and broken through.

The mournful and desperate screams continued endlessly, one after another. In just a few breaths, the rear of the Yan army was littered with corpses and rivers of blood, and was in complete chaos!

The iron cavalry's momentum remained undiminished, advancing relentlessly, crushing horizontally and piercing vertically, tearing a wide, bloody path through the dense formation of 100,000 Yan soldiers!

The once impenetrable encirclement, which had locked away all life, was instantly torn apart from behind and burst open with a roar!

……

On the battlefield, Xiao Yunche, Shen Luotang, Wang Yang, Zhou Lin and other soldiers, who were fighting desperately and in dire straits, were using their last strength to resist the encirclement and killing by the Yan army. They were already exhausted in body and mind and were determined to die.

Suddenly, the deafening sounds of the encirclement and killing around him inexplicably diminished, while the roar of fighting and the clanging of weapons from his right rear suddenly surged, becoming deafening.

The advancing Yan army suddenly became loose and chaotic, with many enemy soldiers hastily changing direction, looking flustered and unwilling to fight anymore.

Everyone was stunned, instinctively stopping their fighting and turning to look at the battlefield on the right.

Amidst the blood-red smoke and dust, a blue dragon battle flag fluttered high, standing firm amidst the chaos of the army, dazzlingly bright!

A city guard captain with bright eyes suddenly had his pupils light up, his face filled with wild joy, and he roared with all his might:

"Your Highness! Look! It's the Azure Dragon Banner! It's the Azure Dragon Battle Banner of our Great Qian Dynasty!"

"Our reinforcements have arrived! The reinforcements have really come!"

This roar was like a thunderclap in the ears of all the remaining soldiers!

In an instant, the despair and deathly silence in everyone's hearts vanished!

The Daqian defenders, who were originally exhausted, wounded, and on the verge of collapse, had their eyes rekindled with a brilliant light. They looked incredulously at the battle flag that symbolized the glory of Daqian, and their long-suppressed emotions finally erupted!

"Reinforcements! It's the imperial army's reinforcements! We're saved!"

"We are not fighting alone! The imperial court has not abandoned us! There is hope that Duanyun Pass can be defended!"

Cheers echoed throughout the pass, and the morale of the army, which was on the verge of collapse, was instantly and completely united, reigniting their fighting spirit!

Xiao Yunche's hand holding the gun trembled slightly. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the Azure Dragon Flag fluttering in the wind. Looking at the iron cavalry torrent that swept across the pass and crushed the Yan army, his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and an indescribable surge of excitement and heat welled up in his heart.

A miraculous rescue turns the tide and gives them a chance to survive!

He knew very well what these 10,000 elite cavalrymen meant!

Despite the continuous fierce attacks and losses suffered by the Yan army, their forces still outnumbered Yan's by ten times, and they also had elephant troops to reinforce them. If it weren't for the sudden arrival of reinforcements, Duanyun Pass would have fallen today and the entire army would have perished!

But now that reinforcements have arrived, the tide of battle has been completely turned!

The Yan army's ambition to flatten Duanyun Pass and advance straight into Pingzhou will face even greater difficulties!

Covered in blood and panting heavily, Wang Yang gazed at the unstoppable cavalry formation, his face filled with excitement and exhilaration. He shouted, "Your Highness! Excellent! The reinforcements have finally arrived! This time, our army will surely overcome this desperate situation and turn the tide. Our army will surely win!"

Shen Luotang's eyes were filled with emotion, and she sighed in a deep voice, "Judging from the combat strength, discipline, and momentum of this cavalry, they are far superior to ordinary reinforcements."

"It is said that the cavalry under the command of the War God Su Mu is unparalleled in the world. Could it be that General Su is personally leading his army to reinforce us? If the War God himself is here, the 100,000-strong Yan army is nothing to fear! The Yan army will surely be defeated!"

Before the two finished speaking, amidst the chaos of battle, a valiant figure on a black horse charged through several layers of Yan army formations, breaking through the rain of swords, spears, and arrows, and instantly arrived not far from Xiao Yunche!

The young man on horseback was covered in blood, his armor wounded, yet he still stood tall and imposing, his heavy sword sweeping across, forcing back all the surrounding enemy soldiers. He looked up at Xiao Yunche, his voice clear and bright, filled with sincere and burning brotherly affection, and shouted loudly, "Third Brother! Sixth Brother has come to save you!"

A familiar voice pierced through the cacophony of battle, clear and distinct!

Xiao Yunche's body jolted violently, and extreme shock and astonishment surged into his eyes. He stared blankly at the valiant and fierce young man in front of him, momentarily lost in thought.

Xiao Yunchuan!

It turned out to be his most beloved sixth brother who had led his troops to attack?

Two years ago, when they parted, Yun Chuan was still young and inexperienced, and needed his protection. He had never been to the dangerous battlefield before.

In just two short years, the once naive boy has grown into a stalwart and indomitable warrior!

Galloping across the battlefield, breaking through enemy lines, and displaying unparalleled bravery, his martial arts skills, courage, and sense of responsibility far surpass what ordinary people can imagine!

Wang Yang and Shen Luotang beside him were equally shocked, staring wide-eyed at Xiao Yunchuan on horseback in disbelief.

Having followed Xiao Yunche for many years, the two naturally knew what the Sixth Prince looked like back then, and knew that he had always lived deep in the palace, was young and naive, and rarely practiced martial arts or fought in battles.

But seeing it today completely overturned my understanding!

Before him stood Xiao Yunchuan, whose swordsmanship was sharp, whose movements were superb, whose composure in battle was calm, and whose decisiveness in killing was ruthless. He charged through the ranks of 100,000 troops, advancing and retreating with ease. Such bravery, such courage, and such combat power were already at the level of a top general!

Shen Luotang couldn't help but exclaim in genuine amazement, "Unbelievable! In just two years, the Sixth Prince has undergone a complete transformation, his martial arts have improved so much, and he has become so experienced in battle!"

"A prodigy, truly a peerless talent!"

The shock in Xiao Yunche's eyes slowly faded, replaced by a deep sense of satisfaction and pride, and a long-lost, heartfelt smile appeared on his lips.

That was his sixth brother, whom he had doted on and carefully taught since childhood. He was exceptionally talented and resilient, and once he grew up, he amazed the battlefield!

"Excellent! Well done, Yun Chuan!"

Xiao Yunche raised his gun, his fighting spirit rekindled, and laughed loudly: "As expected of my younger brother, Xiao Yunche! You have both talent and guts!"

"My lords! Charge with me! Break through the encirclement and join forces with Sixth Brother's Iron Cavalry! We'll attack from both sides and annihilate the Yan army!"

"kill!"

Wang Yang and Shen Luotang echoed in unison, and the remaining Daqian soldiers were all filled with enthusiasm and their morale soared. They followed closely behind Xiao Yunche and launched a fierce counterattack against the Yan army on the outer perimeter!

The remnants of the army, who had been retreating and desperately defending themselves, now unleashed a fierce fighting force far exceeding their usual strength, thanks to the reinforcements, and launched a full-scale counterattack!

On the other side of the battlefield, the Yan army's commander-in-chief Murong Di, general Tian Cheng, and strategist Gongsun Yu stared intently at the sudden cavalry battle behind them, their faces ashen and their eyes filled with extreme shock and solemnity.

The three stood on high ground, clearly witnessing the terrifying combat power of this Great Qian Iron Cavalry.

Ten thousand iron cavalry, though few in number, possessed overwhelming fighting power!

Wherever they went, the Yan army's formation crumbled inch by inch. No one could stop them, and no formation could be broken. They crushed and slaughtered their way through, unstoppable and invincible!

In particular, the three young generals at the forefront were exceptionally skilled in martial arts and extremely brave. They moved through thousands of troops, fighting fiercely and relentlessly. Countless elite troops of the Yan army could not stop their offensive in the slightest. Their ferocity far exceeded that of ordinary generals!

Tian Cheng's pupils constricted, his face filled with disbelief: "How is this possible! When did such an elite cavalry force appear within the Great Qian territory? Their combat strength far surpasses all the garrison troops under Xiao Yunche's command! The three young generals at the head are incredibly skilled; they are definitely not ordinary people!"

Murong Di's face was ashen, his heart filled with suspicion and uncertainty. He muttered in a low voice, "Sudden, terrifying in strength, without any warning... Could it be that from the very beginning, we've fallen into a trap, ambush by Xiao Yunche?"

Gongsun Yu, the most astute among them, frowned deeply as he quickly scanned the battlefield. He instantly grasped the key point and said in an extremely grave tone, "No! It's definitely not an ambush!"

"General, please look! The armor and formation of this cavalry are completely different from Xiao Yunche's border defense troops!"

"Xiao Yunche's troops guarding Duanyun Pass are mainly focused on city defense, with a relatively stable combat strength and not good at charging and breaking through enemy lines."

"But this iron cavalry is the most elite field force in the northern frontier, skilled in high-speed raids and overwhelming enemy forces. Their discipline, equipment, and combat power completely surpass those of the border guards!"

He took a deep breath and uttered his worst guess, each word heavy: "This is not Xiao Yunche's ambush at all, but reinforcements from the heartland of Daqian! It is an elite force urgently dispatched by the imperial court, rushing to our aid day and night!"

"The reinforcements from the Great Qian Dynasty have truly arrived!"

A single sentence struck me like a boulder crashing into my heart!

Murong Di was shaken to his core, his body stiffened abruptly, and the confidence and arrogance in his eyes shattered instantly!

With an army of 100,000 besieging the city, it seemed that they would soon be able to flatten Duanyun Pass, kill Xiao Yunche, break through the pass and advance into Pingzhou. The great mission was about to be accomplished!

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the elite reinforcements of the Great Qian Dynasty suddenly arrived, turning the tide of the entire battle!

After a brief moment of shock, Murong Di's eyes were instantly filled with overwhelming ferocity and killing intent!

He had fought countless battles on the battlefield for many years, but he had never felt so frustrated at the last moment and on the verge of defeat!

Even if enemy reinforcements arrive and their cavalry is formidable, what then?

His combined forces of 100,000 Yan soldiers, plus the invincible elephant army of the Nanzhao Kingdom, outnumbered the enemy by tenfold!

A mere ten thousand iron cavalry and a few thousand remnants of the army, do they really think they can reverse the tide and stop his advance?

wishful thinking!

Murong Di's face was contorted with rage, his aura of murderous intent surging. He gripped his spear tightly and roared fiercely, his voice echoing throughout the army: "What's the panic!"

"A mere ten thousand cavalrymen sent to reinforce them, and they think they can turn the tide?!"

"With my 100,000-strong army and the elephant corps of Nanzhao ahead, our forces are overwhelming and we have the upper hand! A mere 10,000 men are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—utterly overestimating their own strength!"

"All troops, listen to my command! Ignore the remnants, redeploy all main forces! Encircle and annihilate this iron cavalry!"

"Smash the reinforcements, flatten the battlefield! Today, I will once again raze Duanyun Pass and slay the Xiao brothers!"

The iron-fisted order has been issued, and bloodshed has begun once more!

The main force of the Yan army, which was originally surrounding the remnants of the army inside the pass, turned around and the dark tide of troops surged to the rear, and fiercely surrounded and annihilated the 10,000 Daqian iron cavalry!

One hundred thousand against one thousand, overwhelming numbers, a massive encirclement and attack!

A new round of even more brutal and magnificent battles erupted!

The Great Qian Iron Cavalry stood against the wind, their iron horses clanging and their battle flags fluttering. Facing an enemy force dozens of times their size, they showed no fear. Every soldier held a gun and a blade, their fighting spirit soaring!

Even when surrounded and outnumbered, their sharpness remains undiminished and they are invincible!

The Great Qian Iron Cavalry never retreats!
