Chapter 207: The Arrival of the Great Army
Xiao O returned in vain, and was hit by three arrows in his body, but Xiao O did not rush to return to Xiliang City, but first found the Xiliang horse thief, found a place to stay, and then asked the Xiliang horse thief to notify Xiliang City and send a breeder to come to the rescue.

Otherwise, no matter how good Xiao O's light work is, he would have lost too much blood and died when he ran back to Xiliang City like this.
Not long after, another visitor arrived in Xiliang City.
One of the six guards of the eldest prince Zhu Zhen, chasing the wind.
Absolutely bored and others are wondering why Chasing the Wind is coming again, and it can be seen that when Chasing the Wind is coming, they know that Chasing the Wind is here to send information.
After sending the information to Absolutely Bored, Chasing Feng did not stop, and left Xiliang City directly, after all, his identity was too sensitive, and it was not good for Guan Shanyue and them to find out.
On the letter sent by Chasing the Wind, Absolutely Bored and the others saw what they wanted, but at the same time they were deeply shocked.
Guan Shanyue has 100,000 new troops and 500,000 foreign cavalry.
Guan Shanyue's 100,000 troops are not enough to make everyone frightened, but these 500,000 cavalry far exceed the soldiers and horses of the entire Xiliang, how to teach absolute boredom and others not to be shocked?
"Not good." The fifth lord stood up suddenly: "If there are 500,000 cavalry of the alien race, the cavalry of less than 50,000 horse thieves in Xiliang will inevitably be destroyed." ā
"Immediately order the Xiliang horse thieves to adopt a roundabout strategy, try not to confront the foreign cavalry head-on, and retreat first." Absolutely boring is also very worried, the Xiliang horse thief can now be said to be a cavalry in his own hands.
Xiao O stood up: "I'll go." "After all, I received the favor of the Xiliang horse thief when I was injured before, and who in Xiliang City can be faster than myself?
"Without further ado, let's go." Absolutely bored said, Xiao O rushed out like an arrow with a whoosh.
The fifth lord said to everyone: "I'm worried that the drunkard, the son, and the hero won't be able to cope with so many cavalry, and the tiger will join the drunkard with me." ā
"Be careful." Absolutely bored, he looked at the five masters and said.
The Five Masters, Tiger Ben, Raging Bull, and Life and Death Tribulation nodded to Absolute Boredom and the others, and then turned around and left.
A total of 70,000 soldiers and horses were assembled from the Chinese army and the left army, 30,000 pikemen and 20,000 sword and shield soldiers from the five main central armies, and the left army of Huben was all 20,000 cavalry.
"Governor, please allow me to accompany the army." Xu Yongchang, who was dressed in military uniform, ran in front of the five masters.
The fifth lord looked at Xu Yongchang, and he had always been careful that Xu Yongchang used to be a guard with a knife, and later he was a personal companion of the Heavenly Hermit, and he also made military exploits, but now he uses him as a clerk, and it is inevitable that he will be subservient, but he still said with a smile: "It is also important for you to deal with intelligence news here." ā
"The governor laughed, all the troops of the Governor's Mansion of the five armies have left the city, and any orders are issued by the City Lord's Mansion, and now the subordinate side is like a fictitious, it is better to follow the Governor to kill the enemy together." When the five lords and others leave the city, the city lord's mansion will take over everything, so Xu Yongchang knows that he can't stay in the city, although it is dangerous to go out of the city, but he has military merits waiting for him, and he can't stay in the position of the capital all the time.
"Very well, let's go together." The fifth master was just testing Xu Yongchang just now, and seeing that Xu Yongchang was so resolute, he was naturally happy to take him to the battlefield together.
However, what everyone in Xiliang never expected was that Guan Shanyue did not lead the army into Xiliang, but stationed outside Xiliang and did not move.
The five masters and others were full of doubts, and they were on guard for three months, although there were foreign cavalry rebellions during this period, but they were not as many as the 500,000 as mentioned, that is, 100,000.
As for why Guan Shanyue did not move, the Xiliang people had no clue at all, so they had to let the three of Jiuzhongxian, Yangcheng Gongzi, and Troubled Heroes continue to deploy defenses, while the five masters and Hu Ben retreated to the second line of defense to deploy.
A year later.
Guan Shanyue led an army of 100,000 to unexpectedly bypass the three-sided defense of Jiuzhongxian, Yangcheng Gongzi, and Troubled Heroes from another road, just as he said a year ago, directly abandoning these three armies, and leaving the alien cavalry in charge.
This year's immobility, not because Guan Shanyue didn't want to move, but because he got new information, just after the alien cavalry army entered Xiliang, after all, before, Xiliang City patrolled closely in Xiliang, and as soon as he found that someone was in the field, he directly surrounded it, so far Jinyiwei lost a lot of personnel, and then the alien cavalry broke into Xiliang and sent back a new piece of information.
Xiliang City is no longer as short and dilapidated as before, and now it is a high wall, with arrow towers like clouds, and the strong attack will be defeated.
Therefore, Guan Shanyue needs time to manufacture siege equipment, but it is very inconvenient to enter the territory of Xiliang to manufacture them, and the most important two points are that the materials are scarce, and the Xiliang army will disturb itself.
Afterwards, Jiu Zhongxian and others suddenly discovered that Guan Shanyue's army had entered the territory of Xiliang, and when Jiu Zhongxian, Yangcheng Gongzi, and Troubled Times were about to merge the three armies, they were intercepted by foreign cavalry.
The right army of Yangcheng Gongzi is also all cavalry, only 20,000, but when he came out again, he had already scattered the army and assigned it to the side of the wine fairy and the troubled hero.
The rear army of Jiuzhongxian has 50,000 troops, 10,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 40,000 pikemen.
The front army of the Troubled Heroes had 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, 5,000 pikemen, and 30,000 archers.
In order to reasonably match the soldiers and horses, Yangcheng Gongzi distributed 10,000 cavalry to the front army and the rear army with 5,000 cavalry each, and Jiuzhongxian allocated 5,000 sword and shield soldiers and 10,000 pikemen to Yangcheng Gongzi's right army, and 10,000 pikemen to the troubled heroes of the front army.
Today, the strength of the right army of Yangcheng Gongzi is 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 pikemen, and 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, totaling 25,000 soldiers.
The strength of the Xianhou army in the wine: 20,000 pikemen, 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 5,000 cavalry, a total of 30,000 soldiers.
The front army, which was the main force of the Troubled Times, had 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, 5,000 cavalry, 15,000 pikemen, and 30,000 archers, with a combined attack of 55,000 troops.
When the Third Route Army found that Guan Shanyue's army had bypassed its own defense line and entered the territory of Xiliang, the Third Route Army immediately packed up and was immediately attacked by a large number of foreign cavalry less than an hour after setting off.
"The other side has at least 100,000 cavalry, and we can only hold on in formation." Le Yi looked at the wine fairy, Xue Yu, and dragonfly and said.
"No, we have too few troops, once the alien cavalry attacks, it will inevitably be defeated......" Xue Yu has been calmly analyzing the situation, but the disparity in strength, once it is hard to touch, the other party will certainly suffer heavy losses, and he will be defeated or annihilated.
"Don't worry, let's watch the situation first." In the absence of any way, this is the only way, and the wine fairy is not confused.
Hold on and wait for reinforcements.
The right army's Yangcheng Gongzi also encountered 100,000 cavalry.
However, the troops on his side of the three-way army are the least, and the combat power will naturally be much weaker, and once it is held, it will be eaten, so when encountering the alien cavalry, the prince of Yangcheng made a decisive decision.
Liu Daxing and Liu Yidao led 5,000 sword and shield soldiers and 10,000 pikemen to advance in a circle, while Yangcheng Gongzi himself led 10,000 cavalry to attack the alien cavalry directly.
The general of the alien cavalry couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the prince of Yangcheng wanted to hit the stone with an egg, but he was still very cautious, after all, once the cavalry sprinted, it couldn't be stopped.
Boom like thunder roaring.
Originally, the alien cavalry general thought that the sound of the large number of cavalry on his side was great, but when he listened carefully, he was very surprised.
"General, the other side is heavy cavalry." His men hurriedly returned.
The alien generals couldn't help but be stunned, they were all light cavalry when they explored before, how could they ...... all of a sudden? Oh no, careless, no cavalry would have acted in heavy armor.
The alien cavalry are all lightly armed, so they are very mobile, but their defense and lethality are far inferior to that of the heavy cavalry.
What's more, Xiliang Heavy Cavalry has put a lot of effort into equipment because it has its own iron mine, almost like a fast-running iron fortress.
The prince of Yangcheng took the lead, holding the Qimen Liuhe spear in his hand, and suddenly the ten thousand cavalry fused with his murderous aura.
Seeing this, the alien cavalry who resisted in front of the prince of Yangcheng was horrified, after all, the fools in front knew that they were here to be cannon fodder, and the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry collided with each other, and everyone knew that the light cavalry would be smashed to pieces.
At first, he was still a little confident, but in the face of ten thousand horsemen rushing over, he felt the monstrous murderous aura, just like the god of death beckoning to him, he suddenly turned the horse's head and ran away to both sides.
In any case, the alien cavalry knew that they could only run to the sides, and if they turned around, they would only collide with their own people, which was a wise choice, but in this way, the alien cavalry behind them had nowhere to escape.
The cavalry in front dispersed to both sides, but the cavalry in the back didn't know what was going on, and was full of anticipation waiting to pick up the bargain, who knew that the companions in front of him suddenly dispersed for some reason, and in front of them were the Xiliang heavy cavalry with iron armor and iron masks, after seeing such a heavily equipped Xiliang cavalry, they immediately understood why the companions in front of them were scattered, but at this time, the Xiliang heavy cavalry was in a high-speed state of sprinting, coupled with the interruption of the alien cavalry, there was no time to retreat to both sides, The only way is to hold on to the reins of the horse, turn around and run backwards, but the same backwards will only collide with your own people.
But in the face of fear, anyone will lose their sense of proportion, and the alien cavalry directly tightens the reins and turns the horse's head and runs back, after all, only running backwards can there be enough space, and running on both sides is completely crowded together.
When turning the horse's head, he shouted at the same time: "Retreat...... Retreat ......"
As a cavalryman, it was naturally impossible for his companion in front of him to turn his horse's head and collide with it, so he also grabbed the reins and gave way to his position, and as a result, he faced the same situation.
Yang Cheng Gongzi killed violently, and the cavalry facing the opponent rushed up directly, slapped the opponent's horse with the gun in his hand, and shook it out, after all, the weight and resistance of the horse are much larger than that of people, and they collide with each other, even if they knock the opponent's horse away, they will be injured.
When the general of the alien cavalry saw the situation, he immediately ordered: "All retreat to both sides." "Of course, when you give the order, you haven't forgotten that you have to run too, otherwise after the cavalry in front of you disperses, you will face the opponent's heavy cavalry.
Due to the suddenness of everything, the rear of the alien cavalry still collided with the cavalry in the middle section, and in addition, after the impact, the main general sent an order to retreat, which made the cavalry of the rear team even more puzzled, could it be that there was some monster in front?
In a battle of less than an hour, the prince of Yangcheng defeated the alien cavalry with one enemy and ten, and then marched to the position of the rear army to support Jiuzhongxian.
"Help me...... Save me......" A bloodstained man saw a person in front of him, and involuntarily stretched out his hand to call for help.
"You are? Xiliang horse thief? ā
The seriously injured man's eyes were blurry and he couldn't see each other clearly, but the other party recognized him directly, and he couldn't help but be shocked. ā
The man dressed in white stood up and looked not far away, there were still people fighting, but it was more than 100 horsemen attacking a few people, and there were dozens of corpses around.
After the seriously injured man said "yes", he miraculously found that he had no pain on his body at all, could it be that he died?
"Let's talk about it, why are the Xiliang horse thieves still being bullied by foreign cavalry after so many years?"
Not dead? When the seriously injured man heard the other party's words, his first thought was that he was not dead, and the other party actually gave himself pain without knowing it? So he smiled, but he still couldn't get up and answered: "No, this is a year ago to now, in the past few years, the alien cavalry has been suppressed by my Xiliang horse thieves and the Xiliang army to fight, but just a year ago, the Celestial Empire army invaded the territory, and a large number of alien cavalry poured in, and then it was found that the number of these alien cavalry was at least 100,000, but just three days ago, the Celestial Empire army bypassed the Xiliang army, and the number of alien cavalry also soared, just like the beginning, at least hundreds of thousands......"
The Celestial Army? Alien cavalry? It's a little late, but it looks like it's just the right time to come back.
Then, the seriously injured man vaguely saw that behind the man in front of him, there was a large group of people, his brows furrowed, and he knew that life and death were already in the hands of this person, so he had the courage to ask: "Do you ...... Who are you? ā
"Me?" The man smiled and replied, "Xiliang people." Then he showed his thick muscles to the thousands of people behind him, each of whom was one meter eight in height, and sat there like a small mountain, holding a large axe in one hand.
"Let's go get moving." After the man finished speaking, thousands of men flew out like fierce beasts, like hungry wolves snatching food.
But after flying out more than 100 people, there were still thousands of big men who did not move, because they completely lost their first hand when they stood behind, and were preempted by the people in front.
In the face of a big man with a speed of several hundred leopards, whether it was an alien cavalry or a Xiliang horse thief, they were all stunned, not knowing whether the other party was friend or foe.
When the alien cavalry at the front was about to open his mouth to ask, the big man swept over with an axe and cut off the upper body of the alien cavalry like a tree.
Without waiting for the others to react, the big men had already quickly ended the battle, and it only took a few minutes before and after, which can be said to be agile and fast.
The four Xiliang horse thieves under him were dumbfounded, and one of them suddenly came to his senses, pointed at the man in white and said in surprise, "Yes...... It's ...... him."
As for the seriously injured Xiliang horse thief at the man's feet, he had already died, and the reason why he didn't notice the pain was because the man in white sprinkled numbing on it to reduce his pain before he died, after all, there were many knives in his body, and some of the knife wounds were still deep in the bones, and the position where the seriously injured horse thief was lying was already red with blood, even if he wanted to save it, he was unable to recover.
The man in white looked at the Xiliang horse thief and smiled: "If you can move, send the news back to Xiliang City and tell them that I am back." ā
The four Xiliang horse thieves looked at each other and saluted them, and then rode away quickly.
