The shouts of killing were like a wave, the sound of horse hooves roared, roars, fighting sounds, and various sounds of metal and iron clashing on the huge battlefield.~,

Black and gray smoke and dust were floating in the air, and the air was filled with a permeating smell. When the armored cavalry suddenly exerted force at close range, the spear formation came up from the front. The wrestling between the spear and the horse was accompanied by the scraping of twisted gold and iron.

With a sound, the spear tip penetrated the armor along the gap and penetrated into the horse's body, bringing out a lot of bloody smell. The war horse turned in pain, and someone fell down in the spear formation. The knight on the horse waved the long sword in his hand, and looked at the person's face.

A heavy hammer swung across the ground, hitting the horse's head hard with a loud bang, and the horse fell to the ground with blood on it.

Amidst the sound of the horn, a larger explosion sounded again, extending over a large area, almost shaking the entire earth. A huge column of smoke rose into the sky.

Then the Black Flag Army soldiers surrounded and charged like a sea wave.

The battle on Dong Zhiyuan did not give Iron Kites much time to make a choice from the beginning. The huge power of the improved gunpowder broke the originally available combat ideas. After the first two rounds of shelling, the heavy cavalry suffered huge losses.

Only then could he react briefly. If in a normal battle, Tie Yaozi's losses after contacting the enemy were expanded to six hundred to nine hundred, and the opponent had not collapsed, Tie Yaozi would have considered leaving, but this time, the former

The formation was only slightly close to the enemy, and the huge losses made it almost impossible to make a choice next. When Meile had a rough look at the situation, he could only make a choice at the first opportunity through intuition.

He made his choice.

During this period, no orders were issued. The Iron Kites' various units could only continue to charge.

Although the heavy cavalry frontline suffered heavy losses at this time, an accurate understanding of the casualties had not yet entered the hearts of every cavalryman. Soon after, iron kites swarmed toward the artillery position like an angry tide, and more than a hundred cannons fired at the artillery positions.

At this time, the third round of shooting was hastily carried out. Less than a cup of tea had passed since the battle began. The tremendous power of the iron kite charging into the formation was revealed. It tore apart the defense of the artillery formation, and the figures of the iron cavalry rushed past.

The cavalry rushed on the ground. The light cavalry troops led by Chang Da, charging from the side, originally had the intention of charging. However, seeing the cavalry breakthrough in the center, they finally made the decision to surround and harass the Black Flag Army cavalry.

Then, in front of everyone's eyes, the entire artillery position was submerged by the continuous explosion, black smoke spread, and the earth shook.

Since the beginning of the war, bursts of explosions and smoke have decorated the entire battlefield like a nightmare. Iron cavalry were hit and affected during the rush. War horses were frightened, collided with each other and lost combat effectiveness. However, as the most elite soldier in Xixia,

Troops, Tie Yaozi still achieved a breakthrough with his powerful ability to charge into the formation, and it was just a breakthrough.

When the artillerymen dragged a small number of iron cannons to the edge of the battlefield in the pursuit of the iron cavalry, the explosives stored in more than two hundred wooden boxes left on the entire center exploded one after another, and the spreading black smoke swallowed up everything like a surging wave.

At the same moment, the low trumpet sound gradually became louder, and the Black Flag Army, which had moved to both sides in advance, launched a general attack.

In the continuous explosions, the cavalry squad that was divided on the battlefield had basically lost speed at this time. The infantry spread from the surroundings. Some people pushed the iron horses forward and threw them into the cavalry. They were beaten by the rushing heavy cavalry.

There was a clanging sound, and some of the Iron Kites tried to launch a close charge to break through. They were the elites of the Xixia people. Even if they were divided, they still had good combat power and fighting awareness, but their morale had fallen into a cold state.

At the bottom of the valley. And the Black Flag Army they faced was also an elite force that could continue to fight even if it lost its organization.

The last resistance of the cavalry occasionally pushed people into a pool of blood. Spears and iron spikes, as well as the horses, also overturned the horses one by one. The heavy hammer hit the heavy iron armor, making a terrifying sound, and the flesh inside

It was almost rotten by the shock, and every time a war horse fell, thick plasma surged out from below.

Luo Ye led the soldiers under his command and pushed their iron horses towards the enemy's commander's flag and rushed madly. The position that had just passed the explosion was filled with dust and smoke. Occasionally, broken cavalry with broken armor rushed out of the dust and came forward.

The people who left first threw out the horses, followed by hooks and spears, stabbing and hooking the horses' legs. The hammer soldiers were waiting for the heavy hammers to be thrown out at any time. From time to time, there were also soldiers of the Black Flag Army who were killed by the opponent because they could not break the defense.

The spear was heavy and the sword cut him down.

The final, real contest of strength began to appear at this time, and the two sides collided together like cold steel!

On one side of the battlefield, the 2,700 light cavalry led by Chang Da launched a desperate attack. Soon after, sparse explosions sounded again, and the two thousand light cavalry on the Black Flag Army's side headed towards the opponent at the same high speed.

After the impact, the two cavalrymen fought in the field on the side like long dragons, fighting...

But when the dragon was fighting in the wild, its blood was dark yellow. The thick blood dyed the earth red.

Less than half an hour later, the battle that determined the situation in the entire northwest came to an end.

*************

Despite the long wind and the hazy cirrus clouds passing by, horse teams occasionally ran across the wilderness under the clouds. On the land near Gyeongju in the northwest, groups of Xixia soldiers were scattered everywhere, feeling the smell of the impending mountain rain.

Some of these soldiers were originally stationed in the local area to supervise grain collection in various places. Some of them fled towards the west due to the chaos in Yanzhou and the death of Xixia general Ji Lassel. The cavalry was the fastest, followed by the infantry. After meeting their companions,

, was taken in.

The defeated soldiers were exaggerating the terror of the bandits in the mountains. Although there was no news of enemy contact from many places on the front line, many people also knew the news: at this time, a band of fierce bandits were coming from the east at a fast speed.

Bad intentions.

In the Yanzhou and Qingjian areas, although the Ganzhou Gansu Army led by Ji Lasaile is not the most elite of the Xixia Army, it can also be regarded as the backbone force. Going west, the garrison in Qingzhou at this time,

Most of them are attached troops, and the heavy baggage troops, because the real main force, have been dragged to Yuan and Huanzhou not long ago. Under the premise of the rapid defeat of Yanzhou, the Xixia army in Qingzhou has no strength to fight.

Yeli Jingjie knew about this two days ago. He was one of the elites in the Qingzhou garrison at this time. He was originally a branch of the Xixia clan. He had studied and received martial arts training since he was a child. At this time, he was the general Haorong.

A member of the guard directly under his command, when the first wave of news came, he knew the whole story.

Even if you don’t believe that there are forces other than Zhejia in the northwest who dare to stroke the Xixia Tiger’s beard at this time, and you don’t believe that the other party’s combat power is as high as the scouts said, it is indisputable that the whole army was defeated because of La Sailer’s death.

fact.

In order to deal with the sudden arrival of the black flag army, Haorong released a large number of trustworthy guard members and elite scouts to strengthen the news network to the east and pay attention to the situation of the army. Then Yeli Thorns was released to the east.

More than ten miles away. Stay on the Ten Tiger Plains and keep a close eye on the movements of the invading enemy. But last night, before the Black Flag Army passed through the Ten Tiger Plains, Tie Yaozi arrived first.

Yeli Jingjie felt relieved. Tie Yaozi was famous all over the world. Every Xixia soldier knew how terrifying his charge was. Yeli Jingjie also had people he knew among the Tie Yaozi army. That night

After chatting with the other party, I found out that His Majesty was furious because of this army. The entire army had already left camp and returned to the east to stabilize the entire situation in the east. And the Iron Harriers with six thousand cavalry came to kill them in a mighty manner. No matter how powerful the opponent was, right now

They will be intercepted in the mountains and dare not mess around.

It was cloudy the next day. Tie Yaozi broke camp and left. Soon after, Yeli Jingjie received a message saying that traces of the black flag army had been found ahead, and Tie Yaozi was going to attack them. Yeli Jingjie ordered people to return to Qingzhou.

After passing on this news, he took a few trusted men with him and headed east. He wanted to be the first to confirm the news of Tie Yaozi's victory.

The sky was full of wind and clouds, and from the mouth of Shihuyuan to Dongzhiyuan, the vast expanse of land stretched as far as the eye could see. Yeli Jingjia and a few of his men were running all the way. He heard a faint sound of thunder in the east. He lay on the ground and listened to the sound.

The messages coming from him were confusing, but fortunately, he could still see some traces of the passage of the army. Following along, he suddenly saw a fallen war horse in front of him.

The blood was bright red, and there were scattered arrows on the ground. The war horse was hit by a bow and fell down, and its owner also fell not far away. There were several wounds on the body. It was obvious that there was a fierce battle before death. This was actually the iron kite deputy.

A member of the cavalry team looked around and saw corpses in the distance.

That was the fallen deputy of the Iron Kites again. Ye Lijingji went over and turned over to dismount, only to see that the man had been stabbed several times in the chest and his face was also slashed with a knife. The scars were severe and bone-shattering. The main team of the Iron Kites is certainly famous.

In the world, the deputy soldiers are carefully selected from various major clans, and they are often more sturdy. This man is tall and has several old wounds on his hands. Judging from the honor-filled clothes, he is also a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles.

I don’t know what kind of enemy he encountered, but he was cut to pieces like this.

And looking at the direction in which they were running and falling, it was clearly opposite to the direction of the previous army. Were they actually fleeing?

The wind whimpered slightly, and Ye Lijingjia was stunned for a moment by the idea in his mind. He looked back, but found it difficult to accept it. There must be other reasons, he thought.

Judging from the time when the previous message was transmitted, even if the Iron Kites and the opponent started fighting, it would not have been too long. With six thousand Iron Kites and three thousand Iron Cavalry, they would never be afraid even if they encountered tens of thousands of troops. How could they possibly escape? Quite true.

It may be that the opponent was killed and fled, and Qingqi was chasing and killing several people.

Thinking that this must be the case, he got on his horse again. Soon after, he followed the black dust floating in the sky and found the direction of the battle. Along the way, the terrible fact appeared in front of him. More and more cavalry fell on the road.

, most of them are the light cavalry auxiliaries of Iron Harrier. In the distance, the outline of the battlefield has appeared. Surrounded by smoke and dust over there, many figures are still moving.

There were no other living people nearby, so Ye Li Jia suppressed the ominous feeling in his heart and continued to move forward. He expected to see a large number of kites moving around, cleaning up the battlefield. However, the scene on the opposite side became increasingly clear...

The mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, the fallen heavy-riding war horses, eyes that could not close their eyes, the black flag floating diagonally, the steel helmet being carried in the hand, and the thick blood dripping from the tip of the knife on the human body.

Farther away, there seemed to be a group of people taking off their iron armor. Ye Lijingji couldn't understand the scene in front of him. The vast field was filled with troops he had never seen before. They were walking in the sea of ​​blood, and some people were heading towards them.

Looked over here.

Tie Yaozi made a charge here and fell...

A small group of light cavalry was running towards this side, and something hit his blood vessels on the back of his head, and seemed to be strangling the back of his head. Ye Lijianjia's scalp was numb, and he suddenly reined in the horse's head: "Let's go!

"

He ran desperately to get away from that hellish scene...

*************

With a bang, someone pushed the body of the war horse to the ground. The soldier who was pinned down below tried to get up, only to find that his chest had been pierced by a long sword and nailed to the ground.

"Damn it! Damn it"

The Black Flag Army soldier cursed and struggled slightly. He held the hilt of the sword with both hands. The people next to him also held the hilt of the sword. Someone held him down. Someone shouted: "Where is the man! Where is the doctor!? Come quickly.

"

"Fuck" blood gradually poured out from the mouth of the soldier on the ground. There were frantic sounds all around, smoke columns rose into the sky, stretchers ran across the battlefield, and passed piles of corpses. The soldiers on the ground opened their eyes.

The color gradually faded away. Not far away, Luo Ye opened the helmet of an iron kite heavy rider. The knight was still able to move, and suddenly swung his sword. Luo Ye stabbed him in the neck. After a stir, blood flowed.

It sprayed on his body until a huge bloody smell filled the surroundings. He suddenly stood up and pulled off his helmet.

"Mao Yishan! Where is it! Liao Duoting, Liao Duoting"

There were all kinds of shouts around. In the process of cleaning the battlefield, some officers were constantly looking for traces of their soldiers. Not many people cheered, even after the threat of killing and death, it was enough to bring everyone a sense of joy.

An indescribable sense of relief, but only at this moment. Everyone is looking for things they can do, and in these things, they can feel a certain emotion settling and taking root in their hearts.

At this moment, they truly felt their strength and the weight of victory.

This weight comes from the strength of everyone around you.

There were too many expectations for the battle against Tie Yaozi before, but when the battle happened, the whole process was too fast. For Tie Yaozi, the collapse like a landslide in the huge explosion left no psychological expectations.

.But for the soldiers of the Black Flag Army, the subsequent collision was nothing fancy. If they were not strong enough, even if they disrupted the Iron Kites' formation, they would not be able to swallow this hard nut, but in the final tough battle, they were

He forcefully stuffed the iron kite into his stomach.
