July and August are the hottest months of the year in the south, when the sun pours its heat on the land.

It was in such a sunny season, a huge army of infantry slowly marched through this desolate land, and now it was like a giant, dragging its huge body forward.

The villages on both sides of the road have become uninhabited and deserted, and there is no green to be found in the surrounding fields except for a few lonely weeds, which is the result of the war. The young fell on the battlefield, the old and the young left their homes to escape the war, and a large number of fields were left uncultivated.

But the war continues, the destruction continues, and no one knows when the peaceful and tranquil life of the former fù will be restored.

War has become the main theme of this era.

The heat of the weather made the wild dogs on the side of the road stretch out their tongues and breathe, and these soldiers on the front line of the war were even more parched, and the heat made them take off their heavy armor and put it on their heads to shield themselves from the sun.

Sun Jingyu, the supreme commander of this huge army, was also lying listlessly on his horse at the moment, and he and his troops were exhausted by days and nights of pursuit and hot weather.

It's been five days, and this is already the fifth day. During the five-day pursuit, Sun Jingyu's infantry corps caught up with the cavalry of the "homeland" several times, but every time they engaged, the opponent's cavalry scattered and fled, and there was no way to gather and annihilate them. But there is one thing that Sun Jingyu is sure of, that is, the "homeland" is already a broken bandit army at this time, and as long as he tries harder, it will collapse like a house in disrepair. As long as you grit your teeth again and pull out the last brick from that house, the victory will be your own. And the last brick is Li Yuxuan, the head of the "homeland".

But the current situation is that he and the infantry corps in his hands are almost at the limit. Advancing eighty to one hundred miles in such weather every day, no one knows how long they can hold out, and this question may not even be answered by Sun Jingyu himself. Since the three things have developed to this point, if you retreat, all of them will fall short, and your dreams may also become flowers in the mirror and moons in the water.

The current Sun Jingyu did not realize that just for his own future and fate, he had gambled the lives of more than 10,000 young soldiers on the gambling table of history.

Just when Sun Jingyu was dizzy from the sun overhead, a horse at the end of the queue in front of him galloped past the team, and the dust raised made the infantry on the road cry bitterly, and the scolding was even louder.

The current Sun Jingyu didn't have the strength to care about these trivial things, and at this moment he had only one thought in his heart: to catch up with Li Yuxuan and cut off his head.

A scout covered in mud as if he had just rolled in the yellow mud galloped in front of Sun Jingyu's horse, and before saluting, he rolled off his horse and lay on the ground. The two guards behind him hurriedly stepped forward to pull the scout from the ground, and from his tired expression and slightly trembling legs, it was clear that his body had reached its limit.

"Did you find out that the stragglers of the 'homeland' were brave?" asked Sun Jingyu listlessly, she had been tired of this kind of news for a few days.

"No, it's not, it's the main force of the 'homeland', almost two thousand cavalry!" the scout swallowed with difficulty what little saliva came out of his mouth.

"What! Two thousand cavalry, are you mistaken, where is it, how far is it from here?"

"Fifteen miles due north. With that, the scout fainted from heat stroke.

I've finally caught up with you, Li Yuxuan, don't try to slip away from me again this time.

"Order the whole army, due north, march quickly, if there is a stagnation, cut off!" Sun Jingyu was overly excited, and even the words he said were in a trembling voice.

The commander's order became a talisman for this army, and this was the last chance for this infantry corps. If Sun Jingyu wasn't so excited at this time, if he could calm down and think about it, if he sent more scouts to reconnoiter around this area first, he would have found that he had gathered twice as many enemy forces on his left and right flanks, and he was waiting for Sun Jingyu and his army to enter the encirclement of their left and right flanks.

However, as the commander of the First Army, Sun Jingyu did not consider these things at all, he was completely confused by a series of illusions deliberately arranged by Li Yuxuan before, and misjudged the comparison of the military strength of the enemy and us, so that he finally lost a bet on this historical table, including his life.

Two guards rode out from behind Sun Jingyu, one left and one right, galloping towards both ends of the queue, and the commander's order echoed in the ears of every Fengxiang soldier.

It is almost exactly the same as the order of the previous day, what the main forces of the enemy appeared in the front and how many miles, what was won after the battle, and what was a hasty march, it was all fart!

None of the soldiers in this unit now believed the instructions about the situation on the battlefield. For five days, the contact was made with a few scattered cavalrymen, ranging from a few dozen to two or three hundred. Every time it was a rapid march, but every time I saw it was like this, many of the Fengxiang soldiers in the back had never even seen what the "homeland" looked like, and when they arrived at the battlefield, the cavalry of those "homeland" had already run away without a trace.

The order to march quickly reached the ears of every soldier in the shortest possible time, so the speed of the entire marching army column increased significantly, first walking fast, then trotting, and in the end, it was simply running wildly, and the entire battle sequence had been completely disrupted, but no one paid attention to these, including the supreme commander of this army, Sun Jingyu.

The enemy only has 2,000 men, as long as half of my troops rush there, then Li Yuxuan and his cavalry will definitely die!

What is the main force, it is not some stragglers, and if you hurry to the ground, then you will have a little more time to rest.

The commander and his subordinates were "marching in a hurry" with two very different purposes, and they didn't know that every step they took now would be one point closer to death. Waiting for them in front was neither a few dozen or hundreds of stragglers, nor two thousand "homeland" cavalry, but a huge regular army of nearly forty thousand.

After traveling twenty miles with his men, they finally saw the main force of the so-called "homeland", and two thousand cavalry appeared in their field of vision.

It was the enemy's main force, and after chasing for five days, I finally let me catch up. Now in front of me is the last brick of the dilapidated house, and if you pull it out, the whole house will collapse.

It really is the enemy's main force! It seems that this time it is really going to be a tough battle.

All the soldiers who arrived looked around them, and found themselves surrounded by unfamiliar faces, and the whole army had been disrupted during the rapid march. Captains and commanders were gathering their subordinates from place to place, and soldiers were searching for their commanders in the crowd, but apparently with little success.

However, to everyone's relief, two-thirds of the soldiers had already arrived, while the other five thousand soldiers were spread out in a straight line of nearly fifteen miles. However, judging from the comparison of troops, he still has an absolute advantage in this aspect.

Sun Jingyu drew the sword at his waist and pointed at the two thousand "homeland" cavalry under the hill, and the ironclad infantry rushed down the mountain like a tide, and the momentum was quite amazing.

At this moment, Li Yuxuan, the head of the family who was in the queue of the "homeland", had already calculated the time and place of Sun Jingyu's appearance, and ordered Lang Zhong to lead a thousand cavalry to attack the Fengxiang ironclad infantry that was going down the hill to launch a surprise attack, so as to achieve the purpose of delaying and attracting the other party, and he led the other half of the cavalry to continue to retreat north according to the original plan.

Feng Xiang's ironclad infantry faced off against the "Black Dragon Knights" of the "homeland" for the first time, and the Fengxiang infantry, which was already at the end of the crossbow, could not resist the counter-assault of the "Black Dragon Knights" at all, and the originally slightly scattered attack sequence showed fatigue under the impact of the "Black Dragon Knights". However, Feng Xiang's ironclad infantry has relatively rich combat experience, and their training in peacetime is also quite strict, making them a military force to be reckoned with in the southern part of the mainland. Only a quarter of an hour later, Sun Jingyu, who realized that the situation was wrong, hurriedly ordered the troops to concentrate in the center and form a thicker queue to resist the opponent's cavalry assault.

All the Fengxiang soldiers quickly gathered in the center, although they could not form a well-layered and neatly sequenced Fengxiang regular combat group, but those spearmen with spears more than two meters long began to exert their power, many cavalry mounts were stabbed, and the soldiers who rolled off their horses were surrounded by the opposing infantry and cut into pulp. The shape of the battle has quickly entered a white-hot stage from the original one-sidedness.

Lang Zhong was keenly aware of the changes in the shape of the entire battlefield, and at this time, half of the cavalry of the head of the family had already withdrawn to the north, and his task had been completed, so there was no need to increase the unnecessary casualties of the troops. Lang Zhong turned his horse's head, and the bloody tooth knife in his hand pointed northward, and all the "Black Dragon Knights" quickly broke away from the battlefield and galloped north.

Seeing that the duck that reached its beak flew again, Sun Jingyu was so angry that his teeth bit out blood.

Hell, even if Lao Tzu chases you to Luoshui, I'm going to throw you into the river to feed the fish!

After five days of hard pursuit, Sun Jingyu finally saw the main force of the so-called "homeland", and now he is like a fly that smells blood, once he stares at it, how can he leave lightly.

Pursue!

It was another twenty-mile rapid march, and now the Fengxiang ironclad infantry still standing around Sun Jingyu was less than seven thousand, and a total of half of the combatants were scattered on the forty-mile route behind them, and the entire Fengxiang corps was like a tadpole, with a big head composed of seven thousand people in front and a long tail composed of the other half of the troops in the back. Until this moment, Sun Jingyu began to feel a little uneasy, and he also knew in his heart that the current state of the corps was very dangerous.

This is an extremely irrational troop allocation, and although the enemy and us have not yet fought in the real sense, their own forces have been inexplicably "lost" in half.

The soldier's intuition told Sun Jingyu. Now, if you continue to pursue, even if the opponent only has 2,000 cavalry, it is impossible for you to destroy them all, and if you are not careful, you will even have the danger of capsizing in the gutter. Realizing that something was wrong with the situation, Sun Jingyu ordered the troops to rest in place and wait for the follow-up troops to follow before continuing the pursuit.

However, at this moment, what Sun Jingyu is facing will never be a small "gutter", but a "vast ocean". And now his ship is in tatters.

Five miles ahead of the Fengxiang Iron Armor Legion.

"Head of the house!"

Three thousand well-dressed and imposing cavalrymen greeted their god of war with high morale.

"How is it? Have the two infantry regiments of Major General Li and Major General Bai arrived at the intended location?"

"Yes, the 15,000 men of Major General Li's infantry corps have arrived at the scheduled battle site and are ready to attack at any time!" Li Yuyang rode out from the queue.

"Major General Bai's infantry corps is also ready!" Tang Xu stepped out from the other side.

"Good! very good! signal!"

A stream of pitch-black smoke rose into the sky, reaching into the sky, enough for people within a radius of dozens of miles, or even hundreds of miles away, to see.

Li Yuxuan slowly withdrew the swarthy Coiling Dragon Ancient Sword, and the nearly five-foot black sword body glowed with a dreamy dazzling brilliance in the sunlight, and everyone's attention was focused on their family master, Li Yuxuan.

And behind Li Yuxuan, Lang Zhong, Tang Xu, and Li Yuyang also focused their eyes on this enigmatic long sword.

"The soldiers of the 'homeland', not far behind me, gathered nearly 10,000 Fengxiang ironclad infantry, it is said that they are the nemesis of the mainland cavalry, except for the 'Sky Dragon Cavalry', they are not afraid of any cavalry assault. Today, history has given us a chance, a chance to prove ourselves, to crush their arrogant illusions with your iron hooves, to cut off their heads with the weapons in your hands. I, Li Yuxuan, will fight with you, and I will use the sword in my hand to defend the dignity of a cavalryman, destroy our enemies from ** and spiritually, and prove to all people: we are by no means weaker than the 'Heavenly Dragon Cavalry' of the Celestial Dragon Empire!"

"For the dignity of the cavalry, fight!"

"For the sake of the 'Black Dragon Knights', fight!"

"For the sake of the head of the family, fight!"

The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted, loud enough to topple a mountain.

Everyone's faces flushed with excitement, and the light of the sun in the sky was obscured by the light reflected from the weapons as they raised their weapons and shouted, "Fight for the head of the family." At that time, I felt the blood boiling all over my body, and the horse I stepped on was also restless because of the fierce fighting atmosphere. No one thought that they could die in this battle, there was only one thing on everyone's mind, fight, fight, fight. The Emperor's speech at that time filled everyone with confidence in victory, and I even felt that I could kill a tiger at the thought of fighting in the same land as the commander, and when I thought of the Emperor's god-like force. It is a kind of momentum and fighting spirit that no one can stop, it is an invincible force, and it is a spirit that is not afraid of death......

"Forward!" Li Yuxuan held the sword in one hand and pulled the reins of the "Snow Dragon Horse" in the other, walking at the forefront of the entire battle sequence.

Behind him was Tang Xu's Tang Xu Iron Disc Dragon Spear, Lang Zhong's Blood Tooth Knife, and Li Yuyang's Tang Xu Iron Giant Sword. Further behind were 3,000 tiger-like dead soldiers.

At this time, it seems that even the war horses are infected by this atmosphere, and the sound of horses' hooves is surprisingly neat, and the whole land is full of flying sand and rocks.

"It's an offensive signal!"

Almost at the same time, the Li Fang Legion and the Baiyunqi Legion, which were located on the two flanks of Sun Jingyu, spotted the thick smoke in the air.

Bai Yunqi rode his horse from one end of the queue to the other, the faces of the young soldiers were both excited and nervous, and at this moment, in Bai Yunqi's eyes, he was not thinking about war, not about victory, but about his beloved wife, Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi, in a while, I'm going to go to the battlefield, what are you doing now? Are you playing the guzheng as usual?

Bai Yunqi seemed to suddenly see Zhao Yi's familiar figure playing the guzheng and the self-absorbed look on his face.

The big war was imminent, and as the supreme commander of a legion, he suddenly smiled before going to the battlefield, laughing so naturally and so warmly.

"Soldiers, do you remember the kind faces of your parents? Do you remember the laughter of your children? Do you remember the tenderness and thoughtfulness of your wives or lovers? Raise your weapons and defend our homeland!"

Li Fang's army, which was more than 20 miles away from the Baiyunqi army, was a different scene.

"If the enemy wants to fight, we will fight him, if the enemy likes to kill, we will kill him, and if the enemy is at war, we will let him die!"

On this July afternoon, a bloody and brutal battle is about to take place.
