Wang Teng saw that the situation was not good, and he knew that if he continued to spend those imperial cavalry with Lin Ji here like this, he would definitely break through their defensive line, which would be tantamount to the failure of the mission. Of course, the purpose of his appearance here was not to fight with Lin Ji, but to stop these imperial cavalry trying to break through for the Tiger Ben Army.

So Wang Teng roared angrily, and he directly abandoned the horse and jumped off the horse.

Just when Lin Ji didn't know what he meant, Wang Teng grabbed the long horse pistol and swept directly at Lin Ji's war horse.

Wang Teng's strength was extremely great, and this moment was finally reflected again, Lin Ji never thought that the other party would do such a reckless and violent act. All of a sudden, Lin Ji's mount, the war horse, had all four legs swept off by Wang Teng, and it could no longer withstand the pressure that Lin Ji brought to it, and rolled forward heavily.

And Lin Ji was also thrown out.

But Wang Teng didn't stop there, his goal was not to stop Lin Ji alone, and soon he brandished his spear, like a whirlwind in the field, sweeping off the legs of the horses of those imperial cavalry who intended to cross the strongest defense line of his Tiger Army.

For a while, the people on the imperial cavalry's side turned on their backs, but they were stopped here by Wang Teng alone.

In the Lanhe Empire, an empire where war horses are extremely scarce, there is an unwritten rule in the confrontation between cavalry, that is, try to avoid causing too much damage to the war horses. Wang Teng's behavior of directly using war horses as a target for destruction was intolerable to all cavalrymen.

Not to mention that every war horse is a huge wealth, in the era of animal power, the value of a war horse is even much more valuable than a person. Even if you can't go to the battlefield as a war horse anymore, you can continue to breed and produce genetically better horses as a stallion in the pasture.

The biggest difference between cavalry and foot soldiers is the increased combat power provided by the war horse, so the relationship between the knight and the war horse is equivalent to the comradeship. It is precisely because of the deep affection between the knight and the war horse that if the enemy maliciously kills or severely damages the war horse on the battlefield, it is equivalent to fighting to the death.

This is the fuse that will completely cause the two armies to die endlessly, in the period of the Empire of Light, there were princes and kings who launched a rebellion, when the princes and kings in order to limit the strength of the Empire of Light to the maximum extent to quell the rebellion, ordered the soldiers to give priority to the enemy's horses to lose their combat ability.

This was originally a normal strategy, after all, when dealing with the Hu people, there was also a saying that shooting people first and shooting horses first, but whether it was for the Lanhe Empire, which lacked horses, or the Bright Empire, which was at its peak at that time, this kind of thing was equivalent to blasphemy against the cavalry.

The prince's approach was soon met with the hostility of everyone except him at the time, and before the follow-up counterinsurgency army of the Bright Empire arrived, several princes and kings adjacent to the vassal state risked the taboo of not leaving the fiefdom of the princely state without permission, and directly raised troops to kill the rebellious princes and kings.

That's right, in the era of the Bright Empire, which was known as "a doctor who can't be punished" and "nobles are decent", generally speaking, even if the princes and kings can't get along with the central government and want to play tricks that can be replaced by others, failure is just a glass of poisonous wine, and the clansmen will be slaves forever.

The method of death of dividing the body should not have appeared on the princes and kings, because it was too undignified, too unkind, too barbaric, and too rude.

However, that time, the Central Empire of the Empire of Light acquiesced in the actions of these princes and kings, and only sent envoys over to warn them verbally, and even gave a lot of symbolic rewards in private. This kind of stunned treatment makes people wonder if the Emperor of the Bright Empire, who has been childless for many years, suddenly gave birth to a prince. So much so that this kind of behavior of sending troops out of the fiefdom without permission can be regarded as a "rebellion", and it can be blamed in the past.

Of course, this is just a folk conjecture, but it also reflects from the side that the Bright Empire's cherishing of war horses in Chengdu at that time has reached the point where everyone who dares to maliciously destroy war horses will be punished.

Because the war horse is the national strength, the war horse is strong, although the national strength may not be weak when the war horse is scarce, but in the face of foreign invasion, there is almost no room to fight back.

At that time, Beidi, and now Beihu, which did not rely on a huge cavalry cluster to ride on the neck of the Central Empire and. Even if there are more and more tactics to rely on infantry to resist cavalry under the evolution of long-term warfare, it has always been the long-cherished wish of countless warriors to defeat cavalry with cavalry.

This is also why Zhao Fu's reputation changed so quickly for a while, but even if Zhao Fu pacified Beihu, this unwritten rule of cherishing war horses was still firmly imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers of the Lanhe Empire.

As a last resort, the soldiers of the Lanhe Empire will not prioritize war horses.

But obviously now in Wang Teng's view, it is the last resort, of course, he is not a traditional soldier, so he is not clear about this unwritten rule. He simply thought that this would be more conducive to his fighting, but he didn't know that he had inadvertently committed a big taboo.

Lin Ji got up from the ground and confirmed that his war horse had been completely incapacitated by Wang Teng's sweep, and it was obvious that the four legs that could no longer be straightened were covered in blood and were still trembling.

Lin Ji didn't immediately fight back against Wang Teng, he took out the dagger he carried with him, and cut off a wisp of horsehair on the war horse he once had.

"I'm sorry." Lin Ji gently stroked the head of the war horse.

The war horse's dark eyes were glazed, and finally a line of tears was left in the eyes that were gradually losing their luster.

There are always those unexpected surprises, and you thought the road was still a long one, but when you turn the next intersection, you suddenly come to an end.

And the person who stood in his way at this time and cut off this road was Wang Teng.

At this moment, Wang Teng was still sweeping and destroying the war horses of the imperial cavalry.

Lin Ji, how can he not be angry?

After Lin Ji saved the wisp of horsehair, he directly threw out the dagger, and shot it in front of Wang Teng, directly stopping Wang Teng's sabotage.

"You're doing something wrong." Lin Ji turned around and said to Wang Teng word by word, Lin Ji's words were calm, but full of anger.

"I'm just going to stop you." Wang Teng explained.

"If you succeed, I won't take another step," Lin Ji said to Wang Teng, "unless it's to step over your corpse." ”

With that, Lin Ji carried his long knife and killed in the direction of Wang Teng.
