On the north and south streets in the rainy night, the horses' hooves trampled on the stagnant water and splashed a large area of water, and the eyes of the silent shock cavalry were full of resentment, and the arrogant army in front of them, the infantry with only a thousand men, actually dared to form a formation here to resist the impact of the cavalry, not to mention that they were only equipped with the simplest round shields and long knives, and there was not a single long blade in them.

The burning houses provide a glimmer of light to the battlefield, but that light only faintly illuminates the battlefield, and most of the place is still shrouded in darkness.

"Accelerate, accelerate... Rush over, we'll rush over," the cavalry captain screamed excitedly. And at the same time as he shouted, those awakened people who had been brewing for a long time suddenly lifted the cloak on their heads, and a red light lit up on their chests, it was eighteen fire cultivators casting spells, and they continued to cast their best fire explosion techniques.

The Flame Burst is a typical instantaneous spell, one of the most basic fire-based spells, and this spell that can produce a violent explosion at a certain point has always been known for its high damage and high mana consumption.

Three days ago, it was these eighteen fire cultivators who teamed up to perform a fire explosion technique, blowing up the entire city gate, and now facing this black iron army, the fire cultivators firmly believe that their spells will never miss.

The self-confidence of the Awakened comes from their strength, but they also neglect one detail. Three days ago, the Flame Explosion Technique was a collective power cast by eighteen people, but today, on the high-speed galloping horse, their cooperation was impossible to complete, they could only continuously cast eighteen Flame Explosion Techniques, hoping to rely on the continuous Flame Explosion to flatten the nasty military formation in front of them.

When the Flame Explosion Technique exploded in the crowd, Da San's eyes darkened, and his head tilted and he fainted on the spot, he was not stunned, he was purely stunned alive, before he lost consciousness, he only saw the tumbling human body flying in midair.

The power of the Fire Explosion Technique was great, but it did not meet the expectations of the fire cultivators. The resistance of the black iron equipment to spells is not blown out, only a small part of the scorching heat can penetrate into the inside of the armor, and the huge impact force can only kill the dozen or so people at the most central point.

Every time the flame exploded, it could take more than a dozen lives in an instant, and these soldiers were all shocked to death by the impact force. The blood-soaked scene that the fire cultivators were looking forward to did not appear at all.

"Stabilize the formation, the injured flash to the sides, and those who can hold it quickly fill the position..."

This is a formation change that has been practiced countless times, and when they were in Peishui, the Black Iron Legion had organized countless confrontation drills, and they tried every means to torture these soldiers with spells, and these soldiers had already trained an effective way to fight against any chaotic battle.

It's just the Eighteen Flame Explosion Technique, which is originally the most basic training subject of the Black Iron Legion.

The wounded soldiers struggled out of the group, and rushed to the sides of the street, but they were not there to rest, they took out the crossbows they had with them, and tried their best to wind them. It is often the case that while winding, it is still swallowing and vomiting blood.

The wounded soldiers came out of the formation, the others filled their positions, and the entire army formation only panicked for two or three breaths, and everything was as usual again. The shields were still densely stacked on top of each other, and the tip of the long knife was still standing between the shields, looking like an iron hedgehog from a distance.

The cavalry who were impacting were already dumbfounded, especially those fire cultivators, they couldn't imagine that their best flame explosion technique had only killed more than a hundred black iron soldiers, and counting the injured, it was only in their early three hundreds.

"What kind of monster is this? Is this still a human? No wonder the Li family has suffered such a big secret loss in Peishui, and with such a killer weapon in Liuhuo's hands, can he not be arrogant?"

Black iron equipment is worthy of being a big killing weapon in the hands of mortals, and with this kind of reliance on mortals not to rebel, it will be hell.

But now that the war horse is about to rush to the front of the military formation, it is too late to explain the law again, and everything can only rely on real hand-to-hand combat skills.

The long sword in the swordsman's hand is flat on the horse's back, and the pale yellow sword light circulates on it, and when the war horse rushes into the crowd, these long swords will become life-harvesting scythes, no matter whether your black iron armor is strong or not, if you can't kill you, I can also kill you.

The blood lion is an elite force that the Yu family has cultivated for nearly a hundred years, especially in the ten years after the Peishui tragedy, due to the strong strength of the black iron equipment that shook the world, Yu Fei specially increased the melee training of the blood lion, he knew that the spells of ordinary awakened people were ineffective in the face of the Black Iron Legion, and if you want to defeat the Black Iron Legion, you must go back to the old path of mortal warfare.

The cavalry captain looked indifferently at the military formation in front of him, in his eyes, such an infantry team that was not even equipped with spears was simply vulnerable, not to mention that now everyone's horse speed had increased to the limit.

"Damn, I'm going to kill you if I hit you..."

Just as the eyes of the 500 cavalry were all focused on the hedgehog array, they never imagined that in the dark, one trap after another had already been prepared, just waiting for them to send them to the door.

100 meters, 80 meters, 70 meters....soon, they were about to smash in, but just as the cavalry was ready to collide, a sudden change occurred, and more than a dozen war horses in the front row actually collectively fell to the ground with weak feet. The knight on the horse was thrown off his horse unsuspectingly, and broke his bones and tendons on the spot.

"Tripping... There's a stumbling block here..."

Guessed right, on the dark ground, a tripwire formed by a few grabbing ropes hung half a foot above the ground, and the cavalry did not notice it at all due to the cover of darkness.

There was more than one tripstring, and that was four or five in a row. These ropes, which were tightly tied to the stone pillars and walls, broke one and had another. The tremendous inertia brought by the cavalry charging at high speed was simply not something that could be pulled by manpower, and row after row of cavalry fell to the ground, trampled like mud by the subsequent horses' hooves.

The corpses of the horses and the corpses of the knights became natural obstacles, tripping the subsequent cavalry to the ground. The neighing of the horses, the wails of the dying, and the roar of the Black Iron Legion's counter-offensive turned the long streets north and south into a murderous hell.

The knight who lost his speed couldn't even match the basic flexibility in the face of the swarming infantry, and the black iron equipment resisted most of the spells and sword attacks, and the melee instantly turned into a one-sided pursuit.

"Chop off the horse's legs first, kill the horses first, and cut down these bastards here..."

Just as he was shouting joy, suddenly a flame explosion technique exploded on the left side of his body, and under the huge impact, Xiao Wanghou was knocked out more than ten meters before stopping. Half-kneeling on the ground, his mouth covered in blood, and it seemed that the impact had shattered his internal organs.

"General... Protect the general... Hundreds of soldiers rushed towards Xiao Wanghou..."

Xiao Wanghou is called a depressed person, and he wants to open his mouth to scold these soldiers, but a mouth is a mouthful of blood. It took a quarter of an hour for him to speak.

"You... Foolish... Stupid... Yes... They're going to escape....quick... Hurry up and chase it..."

It's a pity that these well-trained soldiers still lack actual combat experience, and their ability to be flexible and mobile on the battlefield is still far behind.

If this was Zhongli's veterans of a hundred battles, they would be able to analyze the enemy's true intentions in an instant, and they would not have mishandled them like these rookies.

Xiao Wanghou was wounded in the rear, and there was no enemy around him at all, so could he find hundreds of soldiers to come over to protect him? A few dozen would be enough. Isn't this just giving the blood lion a way out of life for nothing?

Sure enough, when the entangled soldiers became fewer, the remaining 300 cavalry turned around and ran, not caring about the life or death of the robes on the ground.

"Withdraw... Hurry up... Pick up Lord Qingmeng, let's leave Wengang City... Damn, there are definitely more than 40,000 of the Flowing Fire Army, and he's pouring out of the nest..."

The fleeing cavalry vanished into the darkness, leaving only a desperate wounded soldier. The wounded Awoke, covered in blood, rushed into the Black Iron Army, and when the light of the magic weapon exploded, dozens of soldiers died with him.

The swordsmith with his legs severed struggled and crawled in the blood, and before he died, he severed the ankles of several soldiers.

Tragic and desperate, these wounded people never thought of surrendering at all, they knew that their families were under the control of the Yu family, and dying in battle could give their families a new way of life, and surrendering was only full of beheading.

In the end, the soldiers of the Scimitar Army were really convinced, they formed a circle, and there were more than a dozen last remaining soldiers in it, no one dared to step forward, they really admired the courage of these trapped beasts.

With the support of the soldiers, Xiao Wanghou walked over.

"Brother... The brother opposite... We don't have a life-and-death feud, why should you sacrifice for the sake of the Yu family? Surrender, Lord Flowing Fire will never kill a prisoner, I guarantee that you will get the best treatment..."

The surrounded blood lions gathered together, looking at the dense black iron soldiers, and actually laughed.

"Surrender? You said it easily, I surrendered, who will take care of our family?

"What's more, over the years, we have enjoyed a lot of happiness with the Yu family, and now it's time to repay the favor... If you want to recruit us, you don't dream..."

"It's a gentleman, just give us a good time..."

Xiao Wanghou looked at them and nodded, "Okay, they're all good men... Then I'll give you a good time..."After speaking, Xiao Wanghou gently slashed down with his left hand.

"Shoot them..."

Hundreds of crossbows rang out at the same time, and pitch-black arrows pounced like a dense rain. There were no screams, no fear, and there was only relief on the faces of those Blood Lion members who were impaled all over their bodies.

At that moment, Xiao Wanghou's heart suddenly throbbed. The ordinary knights of the Jade family regard death as if they were at home, so what is their true essence?

The lives of two hundred cavalry have been exchanged for the lives of nearly three hundred of my men, and it seems that our Black Iron Legion has no arrogant capital at all.

The battle that follows will only be more brutal.
