Lu Fan led the war horse and stood there in a daze, looking at the smoke billowing in the distance and the skyrocketing fire under the morning light. After almost a night's travel, they reached Fangtou, but they were still a step too late, and the boats in the white canal were all groaning in the fire by this time.

And this also means that the last way they can successfully withdraw has also been completely cut off.

The scouts came from the direction of the fire, and when they went, there were about a dozen, and when they returned, only three remained.

"Chengde wolf ride! Chengde wolf ride! The three scouts dismounted and said in a trembling voice: "General Lu, we encountered the rout of the Fangtou Naval Division, and the Chengde wolf cavalry raided Fangtou, and in the early hours of the morning, set fire to all the ships, and even destroyed the dock. We probed further, ran into their scouts, and only the three of us returned. ”

Lu Fan's body trembled slightly, lowered his head, pursed his mouth tightly, and said for a long time: "How many Chengde wolves have ridden?" ”

The scout barely calmed down: "According to the routs, there are more than two thousand horsemen. ”

Lu Fan took a deep breath, the official establishment of the Chengde Wolf Cavalry was only one hundred cavalry, but their supplementary cavalry had nearly two thousand cavalry, and together they constituted such a powerful class of troops in the northern land of the Chengde Wolf Cavalry.

"General, retreat, there is no way out of Fangtou." A general walked up and whispered, "Withdraw and find another way." ”

Lu Fan glanced at the general, knowing that in the face of Chengde's wolf ride, the general was already afraid.

He said coldly: "Look at our brothers, look at our war horses, run back at this time, do you think we can outrun the Chengde wolf?" Let someone else chase after the ass and spank? ”

The general looked back at the tired soldiers, the sweaty horses, and was immediately speechless.

Of course, you can't run away.

"If we retreat now, the Chengde wolf rider only needs to catch up with us behind us for a while, and they don't need to do anything, and our own war horses are all tired to death." Lu Fan took a deep breath: "Tell the whole army, rest on the spot, eat, recuperate enough strength, and prepare for battle, the only way to do this is to move forward, or there is a way to survive." ”

"Yes!" The general reluctantly clenched his fists and took his orders.

"A few of you, go back to find Cao Shuai immediately and tell him that Fangtou is not coming. Shi Zhuang's department is one of the most elite troops under Li Ze's command, even if there are only more than 10,000 people, once they can't break them and are dragged by them, they will inevitably be encircled and unable to get out, let Cao Shuai go north, the direction of Montenegro in the north is Qin Zhao's troops, that is an army that has been put together, the combat effectiveness is not strong, and the will to fight is far from being comparable with Shi Zhuang's department, if they can defeat them and escape into the Black Mountain, they can hold on for a while, waiting for Zhu Dashuai to lead the army to help. Lu Fan said.

"Yes!" The three scouts nodded their heads, turned on their horses, and walked towards the Acropolis.

After doing all this, Lu Fan took out a handful of beans from his pocket and brought them to the mouth of the war horse, watching the war horse chew the beans while gently combing the long mane of the war horse.

Also as an excellent cavalry general, Lu Fan is not only unconvinced by the Chengde wolf cavalry, which is known as the first cavalry in the world, of course, he also has a very in-depth study, and has never given up on the other party's exploration.

But fortunately, their official establishment is only a hundred horses.

While ensuring the superior combat effectiveness of their 100 cavalry, they could not expand this cavalry into a large force, if they had a thousand men, they could run rampant in the world without anyone being able to control them.

But it is almost impossible to select such a thousand people, unless he, Li Ze, has the ability to dominate the world in the future, and selects people within the scope of the entire Tang Dynasty.

As for the supplementary cavalry of Chengde Wolf Cavalry, Lu Fan believes that at most, it is about the same as the core elite under his command, even if it is a little stronger, it is not much stronger.

And what made Lu Fan even more jealous was Li Ze's investment in the military horses under his command at any cost.

The Chengde Wolf Cavalry is undoubtedly one of the best-paid troops under Li Ze's command, in addition to salaries, the equipment they have all over their bodies is also eye-catching.

Li Anguo is already willing to invest, and with Li Ze coming to power, his investment in the army is completely excessive. Soldiers, war monsters, it is not an exaggeration to describe them as armed to the teeth.

Although the enemy is strong, he is not useless. He commanded 5,000 cavalry, twice as many as his opponent, as long as he rested, he was not without the strength to fight with his opponent.

What if you win?

Even if you don't win, as long as you can cripple the opponent and beat the opponent so that you can no longer afford to put it on the battlefield, it will be extremely helpful for the main force to break through.

Half an hour later, there was a faint thunderous sound in his ears, and Lu Fan Huoran, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and asleep with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and jumped up from the ground, almost at the same time as he stood up, the five thousand cavalry under his command also stood up from the ground one after another.

Lu Fan turned over and got on his horse, and said with a smile: "Today our opportunity has come, the enemy in front of us, known as the first cavalry in the world, defeat them, this name will be ours in the future!" ”

Thousands of cavalrymen, raising their weapons, shouted in unison.

Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction, the soldiers he led had never lost their ambition.

The smoke and dust gradually rose in the distance, and a black-armored cavalry gradually became clear in Lu Fan's field of vision, and at a distance of about two miles, the cavalry on the opposite side slowed down and finally stopped.

The black banner was embroidered with a white wolf's head, and the more than 100 riders at the front, as the rumors said, the helmet was in the style of a wolf's head.

Behind them, two thousand supplementary cavalrymen wore only ordinary helmets.

The wolf helmet is the iconic equipment of the official Chengde wolf ride.

What made Lu Fan's eyelids flutter was the uniform style of the two thousand cavalry in front of him. A hundred Chengde wolves rode in full armor, and even the horses were covered in leather armor, and the horses were also equipped with helmets, and the sharp blades on the helmets were shining. Only the kind of war horses that are selected by thousands of people under their crotch can withstand such a long battle of knights in full armor. The rest of the two thousand horsemen were dressed in leather armor, but their heads were helmetless, and all of them were dressed in half-body plate armor.

And his 5,000 cavalry, except for the generals, the rest are all dressed in leather armor, and in terms of equipment, they are indeed incomparable with the other party.

Lu Fan slowly raised the spear in his hand.

Five thousand horsemen behind him, with a bang, also moved forward at the same time, raising the weapons in their hands.

Two miles away, Min Rou looked at the cavalry in the distance, nodded appreciatively, he was also a cavalry general, and he admired the other party's reaction and arrangement.

Instead of running away, he prepared for a fight, but he broke his earlier idea that he could easily win.

It's a tough opponent.

But the stronger the opponent, the more excited he became.

The saber in his hand was raised high, and the other hand pulled down the armor with a loud noise, and did not give any command, but only destroyed the war horse with both legs, and the first one jumped forward.

Chengde wolf rides, and it has always been the top general who charges at the forefront.

A hundred wolves rode in the shape of arrows and rushed forward.

Behind them, two thousand supplementary cavalry, each of the hundred men in a charging formation, led by an officer, divided into dozens of charging formations, galloped forward.

When the Chengde wolf cavalry launched a charge, the five thousand cavalry under the command of Lu Fan also shouted in unison, and in the shouting of the sonic clouds, the two cavalry quickly approached, accompanied by a rumbling sound, and collided together.

When Cao Huan received Lu Fan's warning, it was already early afternoon. The loss of Fangtou and the burning of the ship completely cut off his original thoughts, as Lu Fan said, now he can only go north, to Montenegro.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ordered the whole army to turn north and head towards Montenegro. He couldn't afford to delay the time that Lu Fan had earned for him. Regardless of the outcome of Lu Fan's battle, even if Lu Fan wins by luck, it can't change the outcome of Fangtou's imminent loss.

At this time, in the direction of Montenegro, Qin Zhao's headquarters had already begun to build a large defensive battalion on the spot. Cao Xin's estimates in advance are being fulfilled one by one, and in the case of no way out, Cao Huan will inevitably choose Qin Zhao, who looks better.

Even though he was a little unconvinced, Qin Zhao had to admit that compared with Wuwei's military horses, the soldiers and horses under his command now were indeed too much worse. Of course, even his earlier Yuan Cong Janissaries could not be compared to the elite soldiers of Wuwei.

Defending the key road and striving for the total annihilation of Cao Huan is Qin Zhao's best choice at the moment, and it is also his chance to prove that his command is not a waste, Qin Zhao wants to prove to Cao Huan that it is also a mistake for him to choose himself.

Cao Huan was retreating in the direction of Montenegro, Qin Zhao built a defensive line in Montenegro, Cao Xin led his troops to chase closely, and Wenfu, who was going up in the south, also reorganized his troops at this time, and led his troops out of the Acropolis and marched in the direction of Montenegro, Tu Lichun with thousands of cavalry, also pressed in the direction of Montenegro.

And in Fangtou, the fierce battle is still going on.

The unique mobility of the cavalry made the range of battles between the two sides extremely wide, and within a range of more than ten miles, there were cavalry battles everywhere. The formations of both sides had already been broken up at this time, and whether it was Lu Fan or Min Rou, the two supreme commanders, had already lost control of their subordinates.

However, the difference is that Min Rou always followed his Chengde wolf cavalry, while the supplementary cavalry was based on a hundred-man team, the large team was scattered, but the small team was always firmly gathered together. Even if some of the 100-man teams have only half of their staff left at the moment, they are still organized and have leaders.

Lü Fan's cavalry could not do this.

The only personal guard cavalry he could control had been bitten by Min Rou at the moment.
