If an ordinary army encounters the 3,000 heavy cavalry led by Xu Ji, even if it is ten times the number of people, there is a risk of being defeated, but this time it is the most elite cavalry in the northwest that faces the 3,000 heavy cavalry, and there are also heavy cavalry in the northwest.

Under the initial surprise, the Northwest Army was indeed torn open a huge hole by the 3,000 heavy cavalry, but after gradually stabilizing, the Northwest Army's counteroffensive began, and the speed of the original 3,000 heavy cavalry began to slow down slowly, and it was no longer the previous devastation.

The greatest power of the heavy cavalry lies in the "momentum" generated by the charge, if a heavy cavalry can not charge, but falls into a stalemate fight, then the heavy cavalry is not far from destruction.

As a cavalry general who grew up on horseback, Xu Ji naturally knew this, but he had no intention of retreating, and still led his iron cavalry to continue to rush forward, intending to cut through the thick formation of the Northwest Army.

Xu Lin still did not release the heavy cavalry in his hand, but used a light cavalry several times that was several times that of the heavy cavalry to fight with the three thousand heavy cavalry. Although the heavy rider is invincible, it is not really invincible in absolute numbers.

The heavy cavalry men and horses were in armor, and their expressions could not be seen clearly, except for the dull sound of horses' hooves, there was no shouting and shouting, and there was no silence.

The light cavalry of the Northwest Army was not at all the enemy of the Northeast Heavy Cavalry Army, and even many light cavalry were knocked out under the collision of the heavy cavalry. But the expression on Xu Ji's face became more and more solemn, because in the space just now when the three thousand heavy cavalry tore apart the formation of the Northwest Army, the other soldiers and horses of the Northeast Army had begun to slowly retreat.

The shepherd's move can be described as a strong man breaking his wrist and abandoning the camp directly.

At this time, Xu Ji and his 3,000 heavy cavalry had become a lone army, and their demise was only a matter of time.

Half an hour after the shepherds and the northeastern army left, the three thousand heavy cavalry were completely overwhelmed by the northwestern army.

After the general trend was gone, Xu Ji, who had already changed several war horses, was covered in blood, but he still regarded death as home, holding an iron spear and taking the few remaining personal guards, to make a final charge to the Northwest Army.

The vast Northwest Cavalry also began to charge silently, as if to salute the enemy general.

There were still no shouts, no dying struggles, only the cold, silent sound of horses' hooves.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, these northeastern heavy horses were like a stone in a big river, and after a slight ripple, they completely disappeared.

After Xu Ji only stabbed to death a Northwest cavalry soldier in vain, he was stabbed into his body by more than a dozen iron spears and died on the spot.

Then all his guards died.

On this blood-soaked battlefield, there is no longer a single soldier of the Northeast Army who can stand.

After the battle, Xu Lin left a commander to clean up the battlefield, and then led the Northwest Cavalry to continue to pursue and kill the Northeast army raised by the herdsmen.

――

Zhongdu, the royal palace.

Two ice caves have been carved out of the surface of the lake, and two thin fishing lines have fallen from the two ice holes.

The people on the shore were Xiao Yu and Lin Han, each holding a fishing rod.

Xiao Yu's hands were very steady and calm, but Lin Han was a little impetuous.

Xiao Yu glanced at him and asked, "Xiao Han, my brother-in-law didn't let you go to the battlefield to make military achievements, are you a little out of breath?"

Lin Han shook his head and said: "I don't care if I have military merits or not, after all, I am not afraid of suffering losses if my brother-in-law is here." ”

Xiao Yu said calmly: "That's fine, you can go back to the grassland with me after a while." ”

Lin Han was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "When." ”

Xiao Yu said: "Wait for the two people to come back." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yu suddenly got up, "I've already come back." ”

As he spoke, a graceful figure suddenly swept into the palace, his skin was not half bloody, his eyebrows were bloody, and his lips were purple, it was Tang Banyan who was sent to the grassland by Xiao Yu.

It's just that Tang Banyan Tree was a little embarrassed at this time, the woman who had been promoted to the peak of heaven and man under the secret method was covered in blood, and her clothes in many places were already tattered, revealing the pale skin underneath. After seeing Xiao Yu, the woman said bluntly: "The ancestor of the grassland witch sect has regained the realm of freedom and forced the grassland Taiji to counterattack the northwest, but now most of the Taiji are still wavering, after all, the white disaster on the grassland is serious now, which is not conducive to the advance of the army. But you better prepare early, the grassland is already a hidden danger now. ”

Xiao Yu and Lin Han glanced at each other, Xiao Yu's face was not obvious, but Lin Han's expression was a little dignified. Fortunately, now that the war on the Xihe Plain has been completely reversed, if the grassland army takes the opportunity to move south when Lan Yu fails to return to the division, it is really unknown whether the middle capital can hold out until Lan Yu returns. Even now that the northwest has turned from defense to offense, if the grassland is still determined to fight back, it will undoubtedly add many more variables to the already stable situation in the northwest.

Xiao Yu asked calmly, "Where is that grassland ancestor, and what is the attitude of Huang Hanji, Shen Dongzan, and Lu Shixing?"

Tang Banyan lifted the hanging hair on the side of her cheek and said indifferently: "Now that all the tribes of the grassland are spending the winter in Atami, the ancestor of the grassland witch sect took the opportunity to convene all Taiji on the shore of Atami, and the attitude of the three big Taiji is ambiguous, but many small Taiji are quite moved by the proposal of this witch ancestor, and there are also Taiji who disagree with this matter, and they have all been killed on the spot by the ancestor of the grassland witch sect. I was going to continue to lurk, but I was accidentally discovered by the ancestor of the grassland, if I hadn't left in time when I saw that the situation was not good, I am afraid that I would have been buried in the grassland by now. ”

Xiao Yu nodded, first let Tang Banyan, who fled all the way from the grassland, go to cultivate first, and then said to Lin Han: "The grassland has reached the point where this king has to go in person, but your sister is not in good health, she is not too tired, and she still needs someone to sit in the capital for this king." ”

Lin Han suddenly said, "Is the prince waiting for Xiao Jin?"

――

Three days later, Xiao Jin returned to the central capital in the northwest under the escort of hundreds of elite secret guards.

Then I saw Xiao Yu in the Spiritual Zhai.

Xiao Jin took out a letter from his sleeve and put it on the bookcase in front of Xiao Yu, and said softly: "Before I left the Eastern Capital, my father asked me to transfer this letter to my brother. ”

Xiao Yu picked up the letter and glanced at it, didn't open it in a hurry, just said: "Huaiyu, this time you can solve the siege of Zhongdu, you have made great contributions, how should I reward you for my brother?"

Xiao Jin didn't speak, just shook his head.

Xiao Yu didn't care either, and continued: "Since you're back, it's time to pick it up over there in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Xiao Jin nodded silently.

Xiao Yu's gaze fell back on the letter in his hand and opened it casually.

Xiao Jin has been observing Xiao Yu's expression, but to his disappointment, Xiao Yu has never had any expression on his face from the beginning of opening the letter to crumpling the letter after reading it, as calm as ever.

Xiao Jin finally couldn't help but ask, "What is written in my father's letter?"

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and said flatly: "It's nothing, it's just some old things." ”

Xiao Jin was silent. The grievances between Xiao Yu and Xiao Lie have even affected the general trend of the world to a certain extent, and it is really not something that outsiders can interfere with, but they can only deal with it by themselves. Although Xiao Jin's identity is subtle and he is half of his own person, he can only stop at this kind of thing, and he doesn't dare to make an inch.

In fact, Xiao Yu's heart is far from being as calm as Xiao Jin sees, what Xiao Lie said in the letter is indeed an old thing, but it is also the root of the discord between Xiao Yu and Xiao Lie's father and son, that is, what happened to Fang Xuan back then.

In the letter, Xiao Lie explained in detail the cause and effect of the prince's rebellion, from the prince's power to Emperor Zheng's suspicion, and then to Emperor Zheng's secret order Tianji Pavilion and the secret guard to secretly investigate. Many of the secrets that the temple ministers also knew were written by Xiao Lie on this thin piece of letterhead.

What does Xiao Lie want to do? Xiao Yu is not sure, even if he is a father and son for many years.

With his understanding of Xiao Lie, Xiao Lie is not a person who bows his head and admits his mistakes so easily, if Xiao Lie wrote this letter to ease the relationship between father and son, then Xiao Yu is the first to not believe it, but apart from this explanation, there seems to be no other explanation.

Xiao Yu was silent for a long time and smiled, "Huaiyu, now there are some changes in the grassland, and my brother has to go in person, but you also know your sister-in-law's body, and you can't be too tired, so I still have you to help share my brother's worries." ”

Xiao Jin said in a deep voice: "No." ”
