When the commander of the 2nd Division of Reading Force, Shenei, led a wing of cavalry from the west gate into the Partridge Pass fortress, the 5,000-strong cavalry of the Taiping Sect two thousand meters away had just stepped into the east gate of the fortress, and the sound of thunderous horses' hooves drowned out the sound of the two sides marching, and the slightly tortuous avenue also made the two sides who were relatively advancing did not have time to find that they were meeting head-on in the large arena in the center of the fortress.

In an instant, the house where the leader was fast forward was all in the house, and he almost thought it was the "Holy Sect Army" led by Yue Shan, but he immediately reacted, his division only had a cavalry wing led by himself, and a wing led by Yue Shan was going to take a detour to the mountains, a pure infantry wing, where there would be so many cavalry, where was this his own team, it was clearly a real Holy Sect Army!

I didn't have time to think about where this army came from, the reins of the horse were heavily carried in the house, the horse's belly was slammed with both retreats, and the Hundred Refining Nine Ring Sword in his right hand had already been raised, and an angry roar burst out from his chest: "The enemy is in front, brothers, kill me!"

With a shout, the iron cavalry behind him suddenly surged, and the cavalry had no time to set up any formation, their bodies fell slightly, and their spears were pushed as flat as possible, trying their best to increase their speed, so that they could overwhelm the opponent in momentum, which was the only choice under the sudden encounter.

At the same time, the commander of the Holy Cult Army on the other side of the battle also made the same decision at this moment, although he also understood why this was an empty city when the previous intelligence came back and there were so many Emperor [***] teams at this time, but now it was worthless to think about it, and the only thought was to destroy the other party and win the final victory.

Rushing from the relatively narrow street into the wide arena at once, it was like two bursting floods roaring in, colliding head-on, stirring up countless dark red waves.

Wave after wave of cavalry poured out of the streets behind each of the two sides, without slowing down at all, with red eyes, rushing towards their respective targets, the armies of the two major forces finally launched a battle between the remaining and the dead in this field of only 500 meters today.

Shenai took the lead, and the Hundred Refining Nine Ring Sword in his hand was not the most common weapon of the cavalry, but he was used to playing with the machete and didn't care, a breath of desperate desire to exchange the blood of the other party for the prestige of the warrior was so strong at this moment, at this moment, any strategy and means could only be thrown aside, and the narrow road meeting the brave won was the best interpretation of the scene in front of him.

The two jagged black lines quickly merged together, and all that was stirred up was a majestic and tragic song where the sound of blades and weapons colliding and shouting and screaming converged. The cavalry on both sides used conventional weapons---- cavalry spears, which were different from the spears used by the heavily armored ironclad cavalry, slightly shorter, and much lighter and more flexible.

Under several waves of mutual collision, many cavalry fell under the opponent's spear without a word, and were trampled into pulp by the war horses. At this time, there is no trickery to speak of, pushing, blocking, stabbing again, just stabbing the opponent, and being stabbed down by the enemy next to him, a simple and tragic scene, just like this, one scene after another in this crazy arena.

The red-eyed Shenai had no time to care about anything else, and plunged into the enemy camp, and a good head of the enemy soldier immediately fell with the sound of plasma rising from the neck cavity, and sideways avoided the fatal stab of another enemy soldier, and the knife turned around, and the opponent's rib cavity suddenly cracked a huge wound, and it seemed that even the internal organs were clearly visible. At this time, the house that was caught in the melee fully showed his attainment in swordsmanship, and this chaotic and complicated environment became an excellent occasion to show his skills.

He is like a tiger bursting into a flock of sheep, grinning and exuding the light of choosing people and devouring people. The nine-ring knife swayed one after another with a burst of blood mist, and under his leadership, the cavalry that followed closely followed the division commander, gave up the commonly used spears, and drew out the waist knife they carried with them to devote themselves to this life-and-death struggle.

However, the decisive factor was not the life-and-death struggle of Shennei, although his leading role did inspire the high morale of the soldiers, and in the case of equal numbers, the overall quality of the soldiers in the army became the only factor that determined who would win the war in the end.

Although the cavalry of the Second Division of Reading Force fought bloody battles and were tenacious and unyielding, the Holy Religious Army under the instigation of religious fanaticism was the same as fighting to the death and fighting bravely, but after all, they had only been in the army for less than half a year, and many soldiers were farmers or herdsmen who had not even used weapons half a year ago, and they had taught them how to use weapons and how to drive war horses in just half a year, but they were far from the situation of a real cavalry warrior.

The Second Division of Reading Power was different, because its predecessor, the Bonan Garrison Division, had not been reorganized into the Northwest Regular Army before the Guide Garrison Division, and its two division commanders were holding their breath and were bent on making a name for themselves in troop training, so that Wu Feng, who underestimated them, was speechless, so he devoted a lot of effort to the only cavalry wing in the division, and for many times he even personally went into battle to lead the team in training, and both individual training and comprehensive formation drills already had the quality of real cavalry.

The balance of victory gradually tipped in favor of the Second Division of Reading Power as time passed, and although most of the soldiers of the Holy Cult Army were as brave as before, the momentum of madness had gradually waned as the comrades around him gradually became scarce. A circle of several hundred meters, in addition to the soldiers on both sides who are still desperately tearing apart, the field is full of broken limbs, people or horses, and blood soaks the earth, forming a huge red carpet. Many soldiers who had never seen such a tragic scene even vomited, and the weak-willed even turned their horses around and fled from this place like the devil's hell of the Shura slaughterhouse.

While calmly directing the soldiers to charge, Shenai was also carefully observing the changes in the battlefield situation, and the changes in the enemy's morale were seen by him one by one, estimating that the time was ripe.

Suffering from this fierce and violent assault, the front of the Holy Cult Army, which was already a little uncontrollable, was even more crumbling, especially under the crazy impact led by Shenai, the front of the Holy Cult Army was finally torn open, but as soon as the front was torn apart, it was beyond the control of manpower, and the entire defensive front suddenly collapsed, and the thousand cavalry commanders who led the team first withdrew from the battlefield, and the soldiers who followed immediately became a mess, in order to escape from the narrow streets first, the soldiers who were colleagues were even facing each other. Many of the soldiers who had not had time to flee were immediately chopped off their horses by the swarming Imperial cavalry and reduced to pulp.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, many soldiers jumped off their horses and asked for surrender, but the expressionless Shenai just waved his hand, and these people immediately fell in a pool of blood.

It's like a storm has struck, leaving only wolves all over the ground, but Shenai doesn't have any time to take care of this, since the Holy Cult Army has rushed into the Partridge Pass, although it was repelled by its own side, it can be seen that this is only the vanguard force, because this army is the same as himself, all cavalry, and if you want to control the Partridge Pass, it is impossible to achieve it by cavalry alone, and you should mainly rely on infantry to build a solid defensive front. It is obvious that the other side, like himself, also sent infantry to follow closely behind the cavalry, but it was only due to the difference in the speed of the march that the front and rear were disjointed.

The priority now is not to pursue the enemy army, but to consolidate the defense of this fortress after driving the remnants of the Holy Cult army out of the fortress, and perhaps soon face the ensuing attack of the Holy Cult army, even before the arrival of his own next few infantry wings!

When the remnants of the hundreds of Taiping cavalry disappeared into the smoke and dust in the wilderness outside the city gate, the house was truly relieved, maybe soon facing the resurgent Taiping army, but seeing that the soldiers were busy closing the city gate and owning a fortified city, no matter what, the heart should be much more steady.

The order for the follow-up troops to follow up as quickly as possible had already been dispatched at the time of the victory, and the fast horses sent to the main camp of Bonan to request reinforcements had already flown away, and since the marching hurried house did not even have time to bring the communication snow dove, they had to turn to the fast horses.

While arranging for the cavalry to dismount and turn into infantry and begin to patrol the wall, two teams were also sent to search the entire fortress for any other suspicious persons, and asked them to concentrate all the remaining civilians on the preparation of defense, while the other team quickly went to the fortress armory to inspect and prepare various defense materials.

To Schöne's great delight, both teams received exciting news. The troops in charge of the search in the city soon gathered more than 1,000 people left behind, and after revealing their identities, the simple people expressed their willingness to assist the soldiers in the defense, and Li Wufeng's name and prestige were fully reflected in this fortress close to the northwest, which may be the best proof of the popular support that Wufeng had been hoping to win.

Another search team also brought good news, opened the armory that was not too big, but it was full of all kinds of weapons and materials, especially a large number of bows and crossbows made Shenai overjoyed, the role of bows and arrows needless to say, this crossbow is a good thing, especially in the hands of soldiers who are not familiar with attacking arrows, it can also play a powerful sniper role, although their power is not as good as the strong crossbows that have been improved in the northwest, but at this time, can have such a sharp weapon, what else can you ask for?

Without much thought, Schöne immediately distributed the items to the warriors, and this terrible encounter allowed his only cavalry wing to withstand a real bath of blood and fire, and after this battle, they were perfectly capable of facing any powerful enemy without fear. But this sudden encounter also made She's heart ache, a wing of more than 4,000 people, at least more than a third of the loss, this is undoubtedly a treasure of this team for him to cut flesh and bleed.
