Such a question weighs on the mind of every Hokuriku person. When everyone in the grassland was panicking, Su Jin was sitting in the tent, very satisfied with his response, and he persuaded Zhou Qing to accept the invitation of the True Yan Department. He told Zhou Qing that their goal was to conquer rather than exterminate, and that if Zhou Qing's ultimate goal was the northern capital, he should not regard the entire steppe people as his enemy. The facts also proved that Su Jin was right, the various departments of the grassland people were not monolithic, they hesitated, they held a conference in the northern capital, but the leaders of the various departments had not yet decided their position, but Zhou Qing's goal had never wavered.

When Ye Wang practiced spearmanship, Zhou Qing once asked why his stabbing was unstoppable, and Ye Wang replied that when his spear was stabbed, he knew which part of the enemy's body to go, but the other party didn't know, so he needed to guess, and guessing would slow down the action. Therefore, when the enemy on the opposite side tries to block the stab attack because of the risk of his life, it is already slow. Zhou Qing now felt that he had become Ye Wang, who stabbed a fatal shot, and the grassland man was the opponent who was bound to fall.

However, Zhou Qing still underestimated the courage of the people in the grassland, and sometimes, there will be people who know that they can't stop the guns, and they will fight for their lives to take a blow, and at the same time leave the same scars on the other party. This man who fought for his life is called the Urals. The "one-eyed" Urals were another fearsome name before the Eastheurs went north. His reputation stems from his brutality and indiscriminate killing, and he was a horse thief, robber, and executioner who carried out his own executions.

Ural's full name is Longeba Mountain Ural Kusar, and he is the illegitimate son of Tugha, the previous lord of the True Yan Tribe, and he is also the youngest son. He was raised in his mother's tent until he was ten years old, when he was taken to Tughha's tent. The status of unmarried and pregnant single mothers among the steppe tribes is very low, and the Urals have lived with white eyes and saliva since childhood, and their status is even inferior to that of slaves of rich families, who live by shepherding sheep. At a very young age, the Ural realized that he was the only breadwinner of the family, and that the hard life had given him a stoic will and a strong body, and by the time he was ten years old, no child three years older than him could beat him, and the Ural became a child king that gave the adults in the neighborhood a headache, and the poor herdsmen's children were willing to listen to him, and at the same time caused some trouble for the rich. However, the time of the child king passed quickly, and it was not known how the news was delivered, and Tugha suddenly found that he still had such a child behind, so he sent for Ural to take him back to his tent. Soon, the Urals discovered that the time of the white-eyed child king was a rare time of happiness for him, and that the eyes of ten thousand people were no match for a vicious look from a brother he had never seen before—his presence shattered their years of calculations.

Even if he was born out of wedlock, it was still an immutable custom on the steppe for the youngest son to inherit everything from his father. And one of the things that Ural dislikes the most is his fourth brother Rico, who has some ears. Completely different from the unleashed wild horse personality of the Urals, Riko was like a cunning fox on the steppe, and the Ural never understood what was going through his mind when he put on a smile. Later events proved that the Ural was right, and while Riko the "Deaf" sat in his tent as the lord of the True Face Division, the Ural could only sleep on the icy steppe with his brother around the fire, or attack the next caravan with his life.

Ural was blinded in the left eye by his older brother Riko, who personally slashed one of his brother's eyes during the infighting that brought Ural out of the True Face Ministry, and the scar stretched from his forehead to his cheek. Before the Donglu people came over, the greatest pride of Ural's life was to take his 3,000 brothers to break out of the encirclement and suppression of the three tribes of Jiuyu, Yanghe and Zhenyan. Whenever he needed some fun, Ural imagined the look on Riko's face as he threw himself into his empty tent. The arrival of the Eastern Continent apparently ruined the little pleasure of the Urals, who had defeated the three coalition forces in Zalamud, and had made the Urals use all their resources to retreat. On top of that, Rico surrendered to the Donglu people, taking with him the True Face that should have belonged to him. Therefore, when the Ural rangers pushed the Eastern Continent envoy, who claimed to be not a fine worker, to Ural, and without listening to any explanation, he drew his sword and stabbed him to death—the poor envoy did not even have time to take the letter of surrender out of his bosom—and the Ural could not tolerate being a dog of the Eastern Continents, especially with Riko squatting beside him.

At this time, the mid lane striker led by Ye Wang returned to the Hai'an camp for a short period of repair and replenishment, and then went north again, looking for his next opponent. Unbeknownst to him, a one-eyed eye was already eyeing him from the depths of the meadow. Ye Wang's cavalry had proven their strength in just a few engagements, their high morale did not diminish in the face of a fierce enemy, and the tight protection gave them a better chance of surviving a face-to-face charge—in Ye Wang's theory, armor was far more important than weapons when cavalry were hedged. However, Ural taught Ye Wang another truth: when you can't even touch the opponent's edge, no matter how good the armor is, it's useless. Yes, they are called steppe people, but brute force does not mean ignorance, and the cavalry of the steppe people are not all stupid and will only be stupid to fight against people to charge and compare the number of casualties.

The Urals are horse thieves and robbers in the steppe, and horse thieves and robbers always have their own unique way of survival - hit and run. The first setback of the vassal army led by Ye Wang was in Su and Hasen, near the territory of Wudibu, and when it was dark, it was found that a whole battalion of cavalry had not returned. When they went out to look for it at dawn, the Zhou army found 600 corpses by the nearby river, and 300 horsemen and horses were pierced in the ground by random arrows. From the remaining traces, it can be seen that the bow and arrow came from three directions, the body has been searched through, leaving nothing of value behind, and the armor, swords, bow and arrow, dry food, and belongings have all been swept away.

Ambushes, raids, and looting, this is the style of bandits! So the target was clearly pointed at the largest bandit leader in Hanzhou - the Urals. Before Ye Wang's anger had nowhere to vent and sent people around to find trouble with the Urals, the Ural came to find Ye Wang's trouble first. This time the Urals put their men and horses in front of three thousand cavalry, three thousand against one thousand, and the frontal charge was absolutely unpleasant to the steppe people, and the commander who led the army ordered a surprise attack. However, after sparing a round of arrows, the horse thief brought by the Urals turned his horse and left, not forgetting to turn around and shoot on his horse all the way—a hand that the people of the Eastern Continent could not learn. The Zhou army chased for dozens of miles, but only caught the tail of the horse thief's arrow. When the cavalry rode the war horse and foot strength was weak, when they returned, they found that the Zhou army who had fallen to the ground with an arrow had been wiped on his neck, and his body was naturally stripped as he had been stripped as before.

"Thieves do not go empty", this is the philosophy of the Urals. The summer grassland is the season of luxury, the half-human tall grass can fully meet the needs of the march and concealment, Ural led his men, in the ambush, division, raid again and again involved Ye Wang's troops, in the solution of this big trouble that may be stabbed in the back at any time, Ye Wang did not dare to go north easily. For Ye Wang, such an opponent is the most terrifying, he is not afraid to divide life and death face-to-face, but how to use the tiger tooth gun to pick and kill a mosquito that is always buzzing and flying around and biting from time to time is something he has not learned. Now, he felt a shot into the mire, which was slowly swallowing himself. At the moment when Ye Wang was at a loss, the grain and grass transported from the Chinese army were delivered, and at the same time, Su Jin also gave him a savior-General Zhenbei led the left and right van guards General Li Beware. At this time, Ye Wang's reputation in Beilu was already as good as Gu Xuan's, but Li Dangxin was still far from being known to the grassland people, and this snow hiding was not intentional and inadvertently created his prestige in the future. After Li Careful heard about Ye Wang's problem, he asked Ye Wang to restrain his subordinates and not go out at will, and asked for another tent, ordered to prepare more papers, and forbade others to approach. Ye Wang immediately understood that Li Jing wanted to help him solve this problem, and he was overjoyed.

In Ye Wang's heart, Li Beware's calculations were as sharp as the spear of a tiger's teeth, and he also brought a van guard to fight against the Urals. Ye Wang clearly remembered the confrontation at the Tobacco Hippodrome Farm, and in the face of the repeated charges of the Wind Tiger Cavalry, the van guards never wavered. If Ye Wang's idea of fighting the steppe people was to "control the cavalry with cavalry", then Li Dangxin undoubtedly formulated the strategy of "riding with foot" based on the actual situation that the Eastern Continent was unfavorable for the training of cavalry. Two days later, Li Jing walked out of his tent and pointed to a point on the sand table—Hadatu on the Green Mushroom Plain. Hadatu means "rich" in the barbarian language, and Hadatu on the edge of the Iron Line River is indeed a rich place on the steppe, where the water and grass are abundant, and it is suitable for grazing, but after the Urals wandered in this area, no other steppe tribe dared to use this place as a summer ground. The tall grass is the perfect hiding place, and the nearby river blocks the way to escape.

There's no better place to lure the other person into taking the bait. Li took this place as a burial place in the Urals. Lee's vigilant vanguards won a resounding victory in their first battle against the enemy, setting a precedent for using military equipment against cavalry. After five round-trips to Hadatu with his cart, Li Jingxin finally succeeded in showing the grain passage to the Urals. When, as he had calculated, the Urals stood in the way of the sixth grain shipment, Lee knew that he would only need to complete his own deployment as planned. As the Urals approached with his cavalry, the van guards quickly formed a circle around the carts, and the soldiers with halberds in one hand and shields occupied the gap between the carts, the crossbowmen climbed on the roof of the carts and began to shoot, while the archers hid behind the soldiers in the front row and threw them. Wandering around the carts with his men, the Urals soon discovered that the arrows fired in the carts had a far greater range than the bows he fired in the bums. For the first time, the power of steppe cavalry was suppressed. If Ural and his men had withdrawn in time at this time, they would have avoided the annihilation of the entire army, but "thieves do not go empty" was his lifelong philosophy, and the temptation in front of him was too great.

If the long range is unfavorable, at least they still have the traditional way of fighting of the steppe people - cavalry charge. The Urals and his men regrouped in a place where the crossbow arrows of the van guards could not shoot, drew the sabers they had "captured" from the dead Zhou army, and began to storm the convoy. After rushing through the rain of arrows of the Zhou army, the people of the steppe were intercepted by large shields and halberds. The van guards relied on the carts to block most of the impact, while the soldiers in the front row hid in the narrow gaps between the vans, and the interception of heavy shields and strong halberds prevented the steppe cavalry from advancing an inch, but they also had to withstand the continuous rain of arrows in the rear row. Urals vs. Li Beware The Zhou army formed a circle in a circle, with the halberd and shield soldiers in front and the archers in the back, effectively withstanding the charge of the rangers led by the Urals. The cavalry brought by the Urals was only half of their strength after two charges, but they were not able to break through the formation of the guards who entered the van. At this moment, a feathered arrow in the car formation flew into the sky with a roar, and there was a sound of horses' hooves from the artemisia grass around it, and Ye Wang came with the Wind Tiger Cavalry.

The Urals and the Zhou army fought more than 20 times, and the Zhou army was always ambushed, and the Urals never thought that they would be ambushed one day, only this time, it would kill him. The topography of Hadatu played a role at this moment, and the van guards and wind tiger cavalry surrounded the men and horses of the Urals in a semicircle, and on the retreat of the Urals, there was a rushing iron line river. Li was waiting for this moment, and the reason why he didn't let the Wind Tiger cavalry come out when the battle started was to drag the Urals. At the moment when the feather arrow rang out, Li Dangxin took the lead in jumping out of the car formation with his heavy sword. The cavalry was all killed by two swords, first the horse with one sword, and the second with the other, and none of them missed. The van guards never imagined that the general, who was usually a little urbane, would be so brave and killed from the chariot formation, and the cavalry of the steppe people could not resist it, so they could only retreat and flee.

Ural also felt the end approaching at this time, but surrender was never his choice, and he led his last subordinates to clash back and forth in the encirclement of the Zhou army, slashing and shooting arrows to the last man. Before being hacked to death with a knife, the Urals shot a total of eighteen Wind Tigers, all of them through the gap between the helmet and the breastplate, and sealed the throat with an arrow. After the death of the Urals, the last twenty-three horse thieves all killed themselves, and none of them surrendered. It is no wonder that after the war, Ye Wang sighed that if the grassland people were all such warriors, they would have to move an army of three million to win all.

Ye Zheng led the Xiao cavalry guard is mainly composed of the Yebei people on the Lanzhou Zhuguo, the Yebei Plateau is the plateau grassland terrain, the Yebei people who live here all the year round still maintain a primitive nomadic life, they are young to learn bow horses, known as the last horseback people in the Eastern Continent. Ye Zheng was the main force from the Yebei people on Fan, and the skilled soldiers of other countries, each soldier was assigned two tobacco hippos that were paid tribute by the Ming Kingdom, and were strictly trained to form the Xiaocai Guards in the Twelve Guards of the Yulin Heavenly Army. In terms of physique and horses, it may be inferior to the steppe cavalry by three points, but the tactical literacy is more than a notch. At the same time, Ye Zheng almost perfectly copied the tactics of the steppe people, the soldiers brought their own dry food, and the two horses took turns to ride, so that the cavalry guards could travel three hundred miles in one day and night. After crossing the river near the Hai'an camp, Ye Zhengbu began to search for steppe people on the east bank of the Tiexian River, and a few days later, the scouts encountered the camp of the Tag tribe in Sanqiuyuan. The Tag Department is a small tribe with a population of only tens of thousands, but Ye Zheng is not in a hurry to attack, he patiently waited until the evening before ordering the cavalry to charge, and when the people of the Tag Department were awakened by the rumbling hooves of the cavalry, it was too late to get on their horses to meet the battle, after simple resistance, except for a few who successfully broke through, the rest all surrendered. Ye Zheng ordered all the captives to be executed, and Sanqiuyuan wailed and shook the sky, and the blood flowed like a river, which also unveiled Ye Zheng's bloody journey.

Since the beginning of the era of the barbarian locust, the Ming State has established a cavalry to cavalry strategy, in view of the unfavorable situation that the Eastern Continent horse is weaker than the Northern Continent horse, the Ming Dynasty dukes vigorously introduced the Northern Continent horse breed, after decades of cross-breeding, finally bred a large number of excellent war horses that can be equipped with the army, called "tobacco hippopotamus".

"Don't kill prisoners, don't kill and surrender" is the minimum justice in the war, and Ye Zheng doesn't seem to care about this, he is extremely strict, and the military law is extremely strict, but he never forbids robbery and kills prisoners, and some people even say that during the Northern Expedition to the grasslands, Ye Zheng even let go of the ban on insulting women. Later generations have made three speculations, one of which is that Ye Zhengnai was born by Gu Xuan, and he did not treat everyone in the grassland as a human being at all; The second is that Zhou Qing hated the grassland people to the core, and wanted to completely remove them from the Hanzhou grassland, so he ordered to allow the killing of prisoners; The third is that Ye Zheng's cavalry is running for a long time, and carrying prisoners will affect the speed of the march. The first argument is obviously nothing more than a routine that the drum book makes good use of; The second theory does not explain why the other two armies did not kill prisoners; After the first two possibilities are ruled out by the method of elimination, only the third argument is more defensible. In short, the Tag tribe was wiped out from the grassland by Ye Zheng, and it was not until decades later that the survivors of the Tag tribe regrouped in Yusi and once again raised the banner of the Tag tribe. Ye Zheng's contradictions are reflected in many places, but in the vast majority of the scripts, he is the embodiment of ferocity, and he is also the most extreme one in the iron car.

The cavalry guards replenished dry food and fresh water on the spot and continued to march north. The next one to hit under the knife was the Cunbu. In fact, it can be seen from the map that the plain carried by the Scarlet Cloud River and the Tiexian River is extremely narrow, the narrowest point is only more than 120 li, and the widest place is only 330 li, and the high-mobility tactics of the steppe people's continuous migration are useless here, and the 12,000 cavalry army pushes up from southeast to northwest to search for the steppe people in such a narrow terrain, just like two people walking opposite each other on a single-plank bridge, and it is difficult not to collide. The advantage of the nomad's high mobility was also accompanied by the disadvantage that the information could not be conveyed in time, and the unprepared Minkun was broken by Ye Zheng, who deliberately left a gap to drive the Minkun to the northeast. The Minkun tribe fled to the bank of the Scarlet Cloud River, in a dilemma, and could only venture across the river, when it was the rainy season, the river swelled, and the people of the Minkun tribe drowned countless people.

Ye Zheng triumphantly led his troops back to the Hai'an camp without continuing to advance westward. One of the victories was too much to carry anymore, and the other was that the cavalry guards had only captured a small number of rafts and rafts sewn from horseskins, and it was tantamount to a fool's dream to expect these things to cross the Scarlet Cloud River and continue the attack. It wasn't until Li Dangxin's van guard returned to the camp that Ye Zheng continued to attack, crossing the Scarlet Cloud River to attack the Barbarian Dance Department, Ye Zheng ordered the soldiers to take advantage of the night to drive the cattle and sheep captured from the Tag Department into the garrison of the Barbarian Dance Department, the soldiers of the Barbarian Dance Department thought that the pie had really fallen from the sky, and they all scrambled, Ye Zheng ordered to take advantage of the chaos to attack, the Barbarian Dance Department was caught off guard, and the formation was in chaos, and it was chased and killed to the foot of Tongyun Mountain, almost completely wiped out. After the victory, Ye Zheng crossed Tongyun Mountain, wearing the uniform of the Barbarian Dance Department, swaggering around the back of the grassland army. Ye Zheng could not capture the northern capital with his own troops, so he continued to go south.

While the three-way army was steadily advancing, Li Dangxin was busy delivering grain and grass to them. In the military history of Kyushu, it is the first time that such a high-profile grain officer as Li Bexin has appeared. The huge cart was held high with a five-colored flag, as if others would not see it, and the word "grain" was embroidered on it, and the soldiers were asked to beat gongs, drums, and trumpets, and the sound was heard for several miles. This move completely confused the people of the grassland, such a large-scale escort of grain and grass is something they have never seen before, there must be a conspiracy in this, the people of the grassland sent scouts to follow the grain team from afar, but they did not dare to come forward to attack. This kind of scene lasted for more than a month, and the people of the grassland, who were losing one after another on the battlefield, finally lost their breath. They began to suspect that this was just a cover-up by the Donglu people, and they really didn't care about any conspiracy, and the situation of the war forced them to make a decision as soon as possible and not miss any opportunity to attack the Donglu people. The steppe army launched an attack on Lee's army.

Purely in terms of the quality of soldiers, Li Dangxin's troops were far inferior to Ye Wangbu and Ye Zhengbu, a small number of cavalry were simply Ye Zheng's leftovers, and the main forces of heavy infantry and light infantry were also taken away by Peng Qianjin, but it was with such an army that Li Dangxin achieved his reputation as the first in the Eastern Continent Infantry Battle. Many people described Li Dangxin's march as wandering around his back garden, all on the spur of the moment. If you are in good spirits, you have to march 30 miles in a day and a night, and if you are not in good spirits, you will announce that you will set up camp after marching 35 miles, and there is no law to follow at all. The 60,000 people are like a huge sightseeing group, and sometimes the military horn and golden drums are sounding in unison, and the name is strong and mighty. When the other two good news spread, Li Dangxin's subordinates finally couldn't hold it anymore and went to Li Careful's tent to ask for battle, but Li Dangxin always found a reason to send them back. Li Dangxin knew very well that although he had calculated the general migration law of the grassland people, Hanzhou had a vast land, and if he drew a circle on the map, it was an area of tens of tens of extensions when searched, and the number of cavalry under his command was small, so it was difficult to run long distances, so it was better to deliberately show weakness to the grassland people and lead the grassland people to fight.

The van car adopts a fully enclosed form, and its wall is made of twice as much plate as the general car, and it must be waxed regularly after painting, so that it is difficult for rainwater to enter and the fire is not combustible. The transfer is wrapped in iron sheets, and kapok is attached to the inside. The van was eight feet high and five feet wide, and it required horsepower to move, which was one of the guarantees for the Zhou army's peace of mind in the Northern Expedition. The steppe people came, and the scouts of the Northern Continent had been quietly following this army for a long time, and they were surprised by the lax discipline of this army, thinking that it was a good bone to gnaw, so they decided to make a surprise attack on this army. However, this surprise attack in the minds of the steppe people has long been in Li Careful's calculations, Li Caution is to use the van end to end as a ring, and the army hides behind the cart to shoot arrows, the grassland people have never seen such an enemy, just like an old cat pulling a turtle has nowhere to go, and has fallen under the arrows a lot in the outside patrol, and their bows and arrows cannot penetrate the heavy carriage.

When a few brave and lucky guys jumped into the van formation, they found that the iron spears and long knives like tigers and wolves were waiting in the formation. The Zhou army's van combined with Li's tactics of "riding on foot" made the logistics and supply of the two Northern Expeditions relatively safe and stable.

Li Beware's van advanced like a millstone, strangling the steppe people who tried to attack them along the way, and assisting Ye Wang to defeat the Urals was only the first battle of the van war, in the months of supply, Li Beware killed more than 30,000 enemies, and the steppe people saw the grain cart and left. But after all, there was only one vanguard, and more supply lines were exposed to the attacks of the steppe people. At the time of the stalemate under the northern capital, the tribes in the western part of the Qingfu Yuan sneaked into the rear of the Zhou army, and this small cavalry force similar to a guerrilla army constantly harassed the supply lines of the Zhou army, while most of the troops in the eastern land were on the front line, and it was difficult to send enough people to deal with the swarm harassment, and the grassland people once almost cut off the supply lines of the Zhou army. The Zhou army had to make more use of the Tiexian River to transport supplies, although the wind direction was suitable and the water flow was gentle, which created conditions for the Eastern Continental warships to swim upstream, but due to the large size of the Eastern Continental warships, the Ironline River was meandering, and there were many shoals, the warships often ran aground, and as a result, more soldiers were needed to pull the fiber. This also caused the Zhou army to be insufficiently supplied, laying the groundwork for having to withdraw troops in the future.

The courage of the Ural not only aroused the blood and courage in the bones of the steppe people, but also won precious time for the resistance of the steppe people. The steppe tribes who participated in the Kurig Conference decided to fight the Donglu people to the end in a time, they could be trampled to death by the hooves of the Donglu horses, but the lion never bowed to the lamb. On the eighth day of the ninth month of the tenth year of the north, the most terrible hunters on the grassland moved, Shuofeng Tiefutu left the northern capital, and tended to the Tiexian River to cover the barrier, and the remnants of the various departments were reined, and the sand pool department was also rushing from the fire and thunder plain, Chu Ye was promoted to the command of the coalition army, they must hold this last stronghold, and take a step back, and the Zhou army will be able to see the head of the northern capital.

The remnants of the steppe people retreated to the other side of the Tiexian River, joined forces with the Shuofeng Division, the two sides confronted each other across the river, gathered 300,000 steppe troops on the north bank of the Tiexian River, the elite of each department was exhausted, and at the juncture of survival and death, the grassland people broke out with great tenacity, and the Zhou army repeatedly attacked and crossed the river without success, and the two sides were stalemate at the barrier. The steppe people, who had the advantage of the terrain, could drag out the war until winter, when the winter of Hanzhou would become their most powerful ally, and the Zhou army, which had not learned the cruelty of the northern winter, would surely be defeated here, and when they retreated, it would be a good time to pursue.

At this time, the biggest problem encountered by the Zhou army was to cross the river, and the barrier was the place where the three rivers diverged, the water flow was turbulent, and many of the Zhou warships along the Tiexian River needed soldiers to pull the fiber to move forward. The steppe people on the opposite bank divided thousands of cavalry to follow the Zhou army's naval action, attacking and harassing from time to time, delaying the Zhou army's action. The soldiers of the Zhou army, who barely made it ashore, would soon be besieged and killed by the superior forces of the steppe people. For this reason, Li Dangxin pondered hard in the tent for three days, using the iron box car and the Lion Gate fighting ship, designed a set of "water system riding" formation, because the day of crossing the river was extremely turbulent, later generations called this formation "storm array", Li Dangxin also won the title of a storm general.

In the early morning of 18 September, relying on the absolute superiority of the naval army, Li Vigilant personally led 800 chariot guards to rush across the Tiexian River, and placed a semicircular chariot formation of 100 carts on the north bank of the river, the shape of which was the same as the chariot formation when the Urals were encircled and suppressed, only this time the Zhou soldiers occupied this side of the riverbank. Subsequently, the leading soldiers erected the banner of Zhou Wu in the array, and Peng Qianjin crossed the river with the second batch of more than 100 crossbows with 3,000 shooting guards and 1,000 Niu Wei. The act of raising the flag alarmed the people of the grassland, and they launched an assault before the sound guards reached the north bank, but they were repelled by the van guards guarding the chariot formation, and Li Beware of the formation beheaded more than a dozen people. Before everyone in the grassland gathered again, the Shooting Guard and the Thousand Niu Wei had already entered the car formation, and the Thousand Niu Wei even erected a one-man tall shield in front of the wheel. The second group of 5,000 steppe cavalry suddenly arrived, and they had the advantage in numbers, and they attacked the vehicle formation from three sides. The steppe cavalry charged twelve times, but not one of them could reach the front of the battle. At the same time, Chu Ye was rushing with 30,000 Iron Floating Slaughter. In the face of approaching and more and more enemies, the bow and crossbow of the sound guard gradually lost its effectiveness, and even some crossbowmen "twitched their arms and could not restrain themselves". Peng Qianjin made a quick decision in the formation, and ordered the sound guard to cut off more than 1,000 large lances brought by Qianniuwei, and knocked them out with a hammer, and one lance could often penetrate three or four people to stop castration. Because of the arc-shaped attack effect, the more the people of the steppe rushed forward, the heavier the losses, and the Lionsmen fighting ships in the middle of the Iron Line River continued to shoot bows and arrows, and the battle reached a stalemate. At this time, nearly 4,000 Zhou infantry had already broken through the 30,000 steppe cavalry with a strong formation.

After a stalemate, Ye Zheng suddenly appeared behind the Shuofeng Division's main formation, and the cavalry team rushed straight to the main formation, at this time, the Tiefu Tu led by Chu Ye had already gone to the river bank, and the Shuofeng Division's main formation was empty. After Ye Zheng rushed into the middle tent, he killed Tie Bayue, one of the five elders of Shuofeng, and the formation of the barbarian army was in chaos, and the front army was still unable to break through the storm formation and was forced to retreat and regroup. The Zhou army took the opportunity to cross the river. When the grassland people were in chaos, the Shachi Department, which had not caught up with the Kulig Conference due to the long distance, rushed to reinforce it, and seeing his most reliable partner arrive, Chu Ye could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The territory of the Shachi Department was in the westernmost part of Hanzhou, Huoleiyuan, bordering the Yanzhou controlled by Kuafu to the west. Due to the long war with the Kwafu tribe, the Shachi tribe learned a lot from the Kwafu tribe and became known as the steppe people of the steppe people. Both men and women of the Sand Pond are strong and good at fighting, and even the lord of the Sand Pond Tribe, Batu Kazuma, is a woman himself, and Batu Kazuma means "the strongest woman". On top of that, the Sand Pool Division has a powerful force that no one should underestimate - the Four-Horned Yak Cavalry.

The four-horned yak is slightly smaller than its cousin, the six-horned yak, and it is more docile and easy to tame, so the Shachi Department will train the four-horned yak as a means of transportation and warfare. The battle situation was initially as Chu Ye expected, Batu and Zhen were naked, with complex and hideous patterns painted with pigments made of colored ores, and she tied her legs to the tall four-horned yak, and accurately nailed the arrow to the enemy in the bumps of the four-horned yak's high-speed charge. Among the brave steppe peoples, Shachi is undoubtedly recognized as the most "barbarian" one. Their lord, Batu and Zhen, is a strong woman who can make men bow their heads.

Zhou's arrows pierced through the dense long fur of the four-horned yak, but could not penetrate its thick skin. Enraged, the giant beast rushed into the Zhou army's formation, frantically chasing and trampling the Zhou army. Under the repeated impact of two thousand four-cornered yak cavalry, the Zhou army's formation was in chaos, and Chu Ye took the opportunity to order the whole army to attack, forcing the Zhou army that crossed the river bank to retreat more than 30 miles to the southeast. This was the first time that Ye Wang had lost in a face-to-face confrontation, and this defeat had a great impact on the situation of the future war, as one hundred and fifty Chen Guoju stone carts were lost in this formation. At the same time, the Zhou army in Beilu was divided into two parts, one on the north bank of the Scarlet Cloud River and the other on the south bank of the Tiexian River. The huge body and huge impact of the four-horned yak made the cavalry on its body only need to concentrate on archery.

The next day, Su Jin rushed to the south of the Iron Line with the last of the Zhou army, across the river from the grassland army. At the same time, Ye Wang also sent a cavalry from the large camp on the north bank. To everyone's surprise, there were only a few dozen people in this cavalry, and they had only one thing in common, that is, they were proficient in the barbarian language. They started with Batu and Zhen's great-grandparents, and continued to scold Batu and Zhen's children who did not yet exist. Chu Ye was worried about the Zhou army's schemes, so he sent people to the Shachi army seven times to convey orders, ordering Batu and Zhen to restrain their subordinates from acting rashly, but Batu and Zhen were finally enraged and forcibly attacked despite Chu Ye's obstruction. The cavalry sent by Ye Wang was also very interested, and turned around and left. Chu Ye could only send a team of people to follow Batu and Zhen in case they lost. When Batu and Zhen were about to catch up with the group of thieves in front of them who said something they shouldn't have said, she fell into the pit dug by Ye Wang, who sent soldiers to dig a large number of pits in front of the battle at night, and the grass was still covered with grass. When the yak charged, the hooves fell into the trap and fell, the cavalry behind had no time to avoid, rushed and trampled, Ao Ting Shen counterattacked, and the yak cavalry was slaughtered, although Chu Ye sent troops to rescue, but Batu and Zhen were still captured by Zhou Junsheng. Ye Wang finally returned what he had learned from the Ural to his fellow steppe people, and he told the Beilu people with practical actions that the steppe people had their own survival wisdom, but he Ye Wang was not a fool who could only charge.

While the Zhou army on the north bank killed the yak cavalry, Su Jin was not idle, he stood on the top of the Lion Gate Fighting Ship and ordered the soldiers to wave the order flag, commanding the overall situation from afar. At this time, the height of the Lionsgate played its role, and from the five-story tower, the whole situation of the battlefield was in the palm of his hand. Not only that, Su Jin's command flag can be clearly seen on the entire battlefield, and the command is smoother than this. The five-story building of the Lionsgate Fighting Ship was not only high, but every time it crossed the Iron Line River, the more than 1,000 Tibetan soldiers in the building were able to quickly enter the car formation laid by Li Dangxin on the north bank and successfully landed on the north bank.

Facing the strong pressure of Zhou Jun, Chu Ye knew that there was no room for retreat. And the sturdy car formation, the male soldiers everywhere, Su Jin commanding from afar on the ship's tower, and the peerless famous generals in the battle formation constituted a solid iron curtain, making it difficult for his cavalry to break through. In this Iron Curtain, he wants to find a breakthrough point, the most critical point that can shatter the entire Iron Curtain - Su Jin. As long as the command system of the Eastern Continent is paralyzed, on such a large battlefield, no matter how strong the male soldiers are, they can only be broken by each one. What Chu Ye needed was an arrow that could pierce Su Jin and defeat the people of the Eastern Continent at the same time. But in front of Chu Ye was a huge problem, not to mention that it was difficult to approach the fighting ship, even if it was difficult to break through the van formation, and the fighting ship would only be within the range of the bow and arrow on the shore at the moment when the soldiers were transported to land. If there is only one army in the entire grassland people that can do this, then this force is undoubtedly the most elite cavalry under Chu Ye - Tiefutu. The 30,000 Iron Floating Massacre, the foundation of Shuofeng's body, was all taken out of the northern capital this time.

Li Beware's van moved again, and a thousand more Zhou troops were about to go ashore, Chu Ye knew that the opportunity could not be missed, so he ordered Tie Bi, the son of Tie Bayue, to lead Tie Fu Tu to attack all of them, desperately trying to kill the commander of the Eastern Continent. The strongest cavalry in the Northern Continent, the Iron Floating Massacre, rushed to the strongest position in the Eastern Continent with a mortal heart. However, death will not bring more life, and in front of the unbreakable storm array, the Iron Floating Slaughter that has been impacted on three sides cannot advance a bit. The soldiers carrying the Lionsgate had already begun to land, and the time was fleeting, and Iron Bolt ordered to regroup outside the formation. Seeing that the desperate charge would not work, Tie Biao put most of his forces on the right flank. Tie Biao was just an "iron tooth" warrior, who didn't understand the science of magic at all, and didn't know that the arc could disperse the force, and with only the martial wisdom of the moment of life and death, he concentrated his strength on trying to break the van formation from one click. He was right! Before the van guards could react, more than 100 horsemen stepped on the corpses of their comrades, jumped over the van and the halberd shield, and jumped into the interior of the van formation. They didn't have time to kill the archers hiding behind the halberd shields, and headed straight for the Lionsgate. In front of them, there was Qianniuwei, who had just disembarked, neatly in front of the pedals, intending to prevent Tiefutu from boarding the ship. However, Iron Bolt's purpose was not to board the ship, he just needed to find a place close enough to the fighting ship to shoot a deadly arrow. The Iron Floating Tu in the charge suddenly stood up, surrounded the iron bolt, and protected him from shooting the arrow. The sharp arrow went straight to Su Jin on the top of the Liongate Fighting Ship from the bottom up.
