In the twilight, the thunderous hooves of the Turkic cavalry could be heard in the distance, and the banners swaying in the wind covered the sky and the sun, like dark clouds surging in the sky. Jiang forgot to close his eyes, quietly feeling the pulse of the earth, measuring the number and distance of the enemy army. Facing the overwhelming Turkic army, none of the three thousand iron horsemen in front of the Hengzhou Gate showed fear on their faces. Everyone waited patiently for their general's next order. On the battlefield where life and death are at stake, these Hebei warriors put their lives in the hands of Jiang Wu without hesitation.

Jiang Wang's eyes gradually opened, and he could already clearly see the faint figure of the gradually galloping Turkic cavalry, and the wolf head pattern on the flying battle flag. He slowly turned his head and whispered to the banner soldiers beside him, "Beat the drum." The bannerman nodded in agreement, turned his horse's head, shrugged up, and immediately held a small flag in each hand, waving it vigorously in the air at the same time.

At the same time, the four sides of the city in Hengzhou sounded the earth-shattering sound of war drums, the drums seemed to be rolling thunder in the sky, rumbling rhythmically, and the angry drums seemed to be venting the passion and blood of the Hebei warriors to the whole world.

The neighing of horses sounded from all sides, and the Hebei warriors who were urged by the drums struggled to hold the horse's head and eagerly looked at Jiang Wang, who was under the protection of the Hebei battle flag.

At this time, Jiang Wu slowly pulled out the sword at his waist and said loudly: "The general draws his sword, and the whole army will assault!" On his side, more than a dozen Hebei eccentric teeth drew their swords at the same time, and the whole army urged the war horses together, and the sound of horses' hooves mixed with the thunderclap-like war drums all over the city sounded together, as if starting a magnificent ensemble overture.

Everyone silently urged their mounts, like ten thousand arrows, and rushed towards the oncoming Turkic army.

When Jiang Wang, who was urging his horse to gallop, could almost see the appearance of the oncoming Turkic knights, he decisively shouted, "Whole army, throw guns!" These Hebei warriors skillfully removed their throwing spears from the side of their horses and threw them at the enemy in unison. Then they took the second sling from the hook on the other side and threw it with all their might. This series of movements has obviously been the result of countless arduous trainings, and each of them is extremely fluent and skillful, and the accuracy of the throwing gun is also extremely precise.

Two groups of 6,000 throwing spears swept through the Hu vanguard like a storm before the Turkic archers drew their bows. Countless warriors were shot across their entire bodies and fell straight from their horses. Some of the horses were shot through the skull, fell to their knees helplessly, led the owner of the horse off the horse, and then were trampled into blood by the follow-up cavalry rushing behind them. The corpses of countless people and horses piled up like hills all over the ground formed countless flesh and blood barriers, blocking the route of the subsequent Turkic armies, and also curbing the rainbow momentum of the Turks coming from their horses in one fell swoop. The Turkic vanguard army was stunned by this sudden attack and plunged into a boundless chaos.

Jiang forgot to put the saber into the box, raised the gun, and shouted, "All the army, draw the sword!"

A clear and beautiful sound of steel knives unsheathed sounded all over the field, and the three thousand four-foot steel knives reflected the rising sunlight and emitted a cold light. "Kill!" The overwhelming shouts of killing suddenly sounded like thunder in the Hebei rush formation where the horses were galloping. The famous Hebei Charge had only one contact with the enemy, and trampled thousands of men and horses in the Turkic vanguard into bloody corpses under the iron hooves.

The Turks, who were frightened by the shouts of the Hebei men, cried and fled in all directions, charging the cavalry formation behind them into a mess. The chaos was all over, the situation was no longer under control, and the wave of terror rippled deeper and farther into the army.

The three thousand Hebei rushed into the front of the Turkic army like a sharp knife, and the three thousand steel knives were raised one after another, and countless bloody human heads flew in the air. The enemy's dense cavalry array was like piles of rotten flesh on top of the slashing board in front of the sharp knife-like Hebei Charging Formation, which was cut into a lump of flesh and blood.

"Tell His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the big thing is not good, the vanguard of our army was intercepted by ** outside Hengzhou City, and there were heavy casualties." A probe horse galloped up to the mandola covered in blood and said anxiously.

"What? Where are the Tang people so strong? What are the Iron Riders doing?" Mantuo was startled and hurriedly said.

"General Luo Puhan, Commander Dahu has gone to intercept the attack, and the battle situation is extremely tragic." The scout said.

"Immediately order the Golden Feather and Silver Feather Team to go to support, quickly!" Mantuo snapped.

"Order!" The scout horse urged his mount and walked away.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, why don't you let our brother take the Flame Elite to take a look." Tie Lan said in a hoarse voice.

"No, the boys can handle it." Mando chuckled conceitedly.

The Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team has been killed together with the Hebei Rush at this moment, and the battle-hardened Turkic First Cavalry is extraordinary after all, although after several days and nights of rapid marching and fierce battles, it can still barely resist the charging and killing of the male soldiers under Jiang Wang's command, and gradually gain a foothold. The soldiers on both sides fought and walked around, fighting in one place, knives and guns were exchanged, blood was flying, and the fight was extremely fierce. Jiang Forget showed his might, and at the eight-foot point, he just covered the front and back, stabbed seven enemy centurions under his horse in more than ten rounds, causing the enemy army to suddenly lose its leader and fall into even more desperate chaos. The right vanguard of the Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team waved the awl Luo Puhan and struggled to intercept the imposing Jiang Wang, wanting to stop the momentum of the Hebei cavalry. But Jiang Wangnai is a brave general with natural power, he can lift a thousand catties with one arm, and he is unstoppable, although Luo Puhan is also a rare fierce general, compared to Jiang Wanglai, it is still a little worse. After a few rounds, the saber has been cut twice by Jiang Wang. He drew his last saber and was about to fight again when Jiang Forget flew up on his horse and kicked him on the head. The war horse was kicked by this flying foot and its skull shattered, and with a miserable roar, it lay on the ground, and even Luo Puhan fell to the ground. Seeing that the main general had fallen off his horse, more than a dozen generals of the Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team rushed over desperately in all directions, blocking in front of Jiang Wang, wanting to rescue Luo Puhan. Jiang Forget shook his spirits, unfurled his iron spear, and surrounded these dozen generals at the same time, and fought a big battle. The main general of the Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team will be lost, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they are exhausted, and they are defeated and retreated by the Hebei warriors who are recuperated, and the corpses of the brocade warriors of the Flying Feather Team who are proud of the desert are covered with the Hengzhou Plain.

When Mantuo came to the front of the battle, he was shocked when he saw such a scene, and hurriedly asked, "Where is this army, and how is it so powerful?" The generals beside him all shook their heads, all of them didn't know.

"Where are the Golden Feathers and Silver Feathers?" Mantuo shouted.

"To the Third Prince," the iron sickle beside him whispered, "The Golden Feather Team and the Silver Feather Team were scattered by the defeated soldiers in the first battle, and they could not assemble for a while. It is better to temporarily retreat thirty miles, and after rectification, then engage in battle."

"No, my Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team has never retreated since it came to fight, and I sent the order down and told them to resist it for me." Mantuo was furious and said sharply.

At this time, the Turkic army on the battlefield was forced to retreat again and again by the Hebei cavalry like a tiger, and always maintained the formation, and the thousand-man team led by Dahu, who fought hard, was bloody, and the number of people was getting smaller and smaller, and several hundred-man teams had been wiped out. The hundred-man team led by Dahu also fell into a bitter battle, and countless warriors could not stop the fierce slashing of the Tang warriors, and they were cut to pieces.

"Zhan Hong, where are those two bastards of Zhan Xiong. I'll go to their eighteenth generation ancestors." Dahu desperately slashed and killed the Hebei soldiers who surrounded him on all sides, and scolded. On his side, one by one, his comrades-in-arms who had fought in the army for many years were cut to the ground and trampled into pulp.

"Fuck, I'm fighting with you!" Da Hu waved his double sabers wildly, slashed several Tang warriors in a row, and led more than 100 iron horsemen to pounce towards Jiang Wang's evil tiger.

Jiang Forget killed the last general of the Iron Cavalry who was entangled with him, and when he saw Dahu rushing forward, he sneered and shouted, "Bow and arrow are waiting." More than a thousand warriors at his side skillfully withdrew their bows and arrows, bent their bows and arrows, and fired in a burst. Under the rain of arrows like flying locusts in the sky, most of the hundreds of enemy soldiers who rushed up with Dahu screamed miserably. Dahu was hit by an arrow in his hand and leg, which hurt into the bone marrow, screamed, and passed out on his horse. How dare the soldiers on his side love to fight, pull his war horse, and retreat in a hurry.

"Tell the third prince that the Thousand Men of the Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team are seriously injured, and his Thousand Men have been exhausted." It's still the same scout, but this time it's already on his arm.

"Third Prince, you can't fight any longer, the warriors of the Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team are the wealth of our prairie." Iron Scythe, who has always been indifferent to everything, can't help but feel emotional at this moment.

"Hey, one day, I'm going to slaughter the entire city of Hengzhou." Mantuo gritted his teeth, raised his horsewhip, and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, we ...... Withdraw."

The invincible Turkic army finally stopped moving forward and began a slow retreat. Jiang Forget led the three thousand Hebei Rush Formation to chase and kill for a while, and when the enemy army retreated, he immediately turned around and went back to the city.

The sun slowly sprinkled on the Hengzhou Plain, which slowly woke up in the morning light. On the battlefield where the Hebei army and the Turkic army were fighting, thousands of broken corpses and bones gradually revealed a hideous and miserable color under the sunlight. The wilderness within a radius of dozens of miles has been stained red by the blood on these horses. The Hebei warriors wore armor coated with the blood of the enemy, held their heads high, and under the leadership of Jiang Wang, they triumphantly returned from the Shura-like battlefield, and on the swords and guns held high, the dripping blood fell to the ground drop by drop, invisibly leaving a clear and sacred trajectory for the entire brigade's marching route.

The officers and soldiers of Hebei Province and the 4,000 recruits from the new barracks gathered at the head of Hengzhou City saw these warriors returning, and they did not hesitate to burst out into the warmest cheers of their lives. Those defeated troops who were killed by the Turkic wolf army for a few days and nights and fled, and who were powerless to resist, saw those Hu people who were showing off their might and were so embarrassed by the Hebei army, they all raised their eyebrows, beat their swords, guns and shields hard, and cheered loudly. Peng Wuwang, Peng Wufearless, and a group of heroes from the Flying Tiger Dart Bureau mingled in the carnival crowd, greedily watching the Hebei warriors who returned triumphantly, all rejoicing.

The mighty Hebei soldiers waved their swords at the cheering crowd all over the city and the streets, everyone was very excited and smiling, but Jiang Wang, the leader of the Hebei army, tightened his eyebrows and said nothing.

Seeing the deep worry on his face, Zhang Tiandu, a military strategist, moved in his heart, took a few steps forward, walked with him, and said in a low voice: "General Jiang, now that we have won a battle, we have killed the majesty of the Turkic dog breed, this is a great thing, why are you worried?"

Jiang Forget glanced at Zhang Tiandu, sighed, and said, "Today's battle is only a small victory, the Turkic army has not been injured at all, and in a few days, when they have recuperated enough, they will immediately be trapped in Hengzhou to avenge the shame of today's defeat." I only can't get 10,000 people to defend the city in Hengzhou, and it is only a matter of time before I fall into defeat, so how can I not worry about it."

Zhang Tiandu smiled and said, "General Jiang, we Hebei people will die sooner or later, so why worry."

Jiang Wang glanced around at the crowd around him and said, "We are doomed to die, but what about them?" Zhang Tiandu was stunned for a moment, glanced at the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were desperately cheering for them on both sides of the road, and fell into deep thought.

"Inform General Changsun that General Liu and the people from the Flying Tiger Dart Bureau will go to the Assassin's Mansion to talk about it, and it will only take two days, and we must hurry up and make arrangements." Jiang Wangshen said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Zhang Tiandu nodded, sighed, and said.

The Assassin's Mansion was full of generals from various states in Hebei Province, including the generals of the Hengzhou New Barracks and all the darts of the Flying Tiger Dart Bureau. Jiang Wang sat in the middle of the room and said with a solemn expression, "Ladies and gentlemen, although the Turks have retreated thirty miles, in a few days, their army of more than 100,000 will besiege Hengzhou City. At that time, within a few days, the city of Hengzhou will be captured, and everyone will not be able to escape death. You did not have the duty to defend Hengzhou, so I suggest that you immediately lead your men and horses from the south gate of Hengzhou to the area around Guanzhong, which will be safer."

He glanced at Brother Peng Wuwang, who was staring at him, and added, "Peng Shaoxia, you can also go as far as you can with the people of the Flying Tiger Dart Bureau."

"General Jiang, what about you?" Peng said in a hurry.

Jiang Forget smiled bitterly and said, "We have already betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and it is a dead end wherever we go, so it is better to stay here and wait for death, so there is no need to be so troublesome."

He turned his head, not daring to look at them again, and asked in a deep voice, "Generals, what do you think?"

"Wait a minute, please." A female voice as crisp as a silver bell came, which lifted everyone's spirits. Everyone looked back, but saw that it was Fang Mengjing, the wise fairy who came with Peng Wuhope, who spoke.

Jiang Forget obviously didn't expect that the first person to speak was a beautiful woman from the Flying Tiger Dart Bureau, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, coughed, and said, "Girl, please speak."

"This time, the Turks have repeatedly confused the enemy and induced all the elite men and horses of the dynasty to send Xiangcheng to Dingxiangcheng, which made the defense of the Tang Dynasty empty, and the Turkic army invading from Hebei Province took advantage of the situation and broke several cities in a row. The little woman dared to guess that Longyou Province and Hedong Province must have also been suddenly attacked by the Turkic army, and the prospects were promising. Today, the most elite troops of this dynasty are the Qin King's Black Armor Guards and the Hengzhou garrison, which are still on standby in Chang'an. If the generals present can work together to resist the Turks, they will definitely be able to delay the military plan of the Turkic army to encircle Chang'an on three sides, and buy time for the Chang'an defense army to turn defeat into victory. If everyone goes their own way at this time, it will only let the Hu people drive straight in, and when Chang'an falls, even if we die, what's the fun?" Fang Mengjing said in a deep voice.

"Girl," Jiang Forget was surprised by Fang Mengjing's accurate grasp of the situation, and couldn't help but raise her voice, "The girl has a unique opinion, and Jiang deeply admires it. The suggestion I just made was to save the lives of those innocent Tang officers and soldiers in the city, and the safety of the Tang Dynasty really has nothing to do with us and other Hebei soldiers."

"Under the nest, there are no eggs, Hengzhou has fallen, and the Turkic army can take Chang'an and Luoyang from Hebei Province, and there is no buffer in the middle, the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed, and the people of the Central Plains will never have peace." Fang Mengjing said excitedly.

"Hmph, this girl's words are too vague, Chang'an has fallen, but he Li Shimin's world has died, what is the matter with the people of the Central Plains?" Feng Rugang, who had always been full of hatred for the Li Tang Dynasty, said excitedly.

"Miss Fang's words may be too concise and to the point," Peng Wuwang, who had never spoken, suddenly said loudly, "We have been fleeing from Youzhou, and along the way, we have only seen Turks burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil. If Hengzhou falls, the south of Hengzhou will be Xingzhou, the east of Xingzhou will be Weizhou, the south will be Xiangzhou, the south of Xiangzhou will be Huazhou, Zhengzhou, and the south of Zhengzhou will be Luozhou."

"Come on," Lian Feng, who was standing beside Peng Wuwang with the Xifeng Sword obliquely, smiled slightly, already understanding his intentions, and said indifferently, "The Turks don't have the strength to slaughter these many prefectures and counties, and they are also tired of slaughtering Wei Prefecture. Other states and counties, if they are lucky, may be able to survive."

"That's enough!" Feng Rugang was furious, "I'm fucking from Weizhou." He turned his head, hugged his fist at Jiang Wang, and said loudly: "General Jiang, the last general thinks that what Miss Fang said is like that, it is better to leave these Tang soldiers here to fight the enemy together, there is no loss to us Hebei people, just arrive at the Ghost Gate Pass later."

Jiang Forget looked at Liu Xiongyi and Changsun Yue, who were silent. Changsun Yue stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Since the old man joined the army, he has never seen such a strong man and horse as the Hebei Chong, and it is the honor of the old man to be able to fight the enemy with you and other cities."

Liu Xiongyi got up and said, "General Jiang, you are loyal to Dou Jiande and Liu Heida, and we, as Tang ministers, must also be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. It is the duty of the last general to guard the border of my Datang, and Liu does not dare to leave without permission."

Jiang Forget smiled bitterly and nodded to the two, but set his eyes on Brother Peng Wuwang.

"General Jiang, if Peng leads the crowd to leave Hengzhou, he will become an unrighteous person, and he will no longer be worthy of the word young man." Peng Wuwang said categorically.

Jiang Forget sighed bitterly and nodded heavily again, and suddenly, he felt as if his shoulders were weighing on the weight of Qianjun, and he was almost out of breath for a while.
