There was a gloomy cloud in the shepherd's camp, and everyone was worried.

Even Xu Ji and the others all had solemn faces.

Yesterday, Xu Ji and the other three generals were summoned by the shepherd overnight, not only him, but also the rest of the commanders, servants and notices have also known the news, although the shepherd seems to be calm, but can not hide the haze under his eyes. Changing in battle will be a taboo for soldiers, but it depends on who changes whom, Xu Lin, as the governor of the northwest for nearly 20 years, is incomparable to others in terms of prestige and qualifications. Xiao Yu was dominated by Xu Lin, supplemented by Wei Ban, and replaced Min Xing and Lin Han, the waves were not as big as others thought, and they could even be called light and light.

If he faced Lin Han and Min Xing, the herdsman was confident that he had a way to break through the encirclement of the two, but in the face of Xu Lin, the veteran of the battlefield, the herdsman was not so sure. Why did Xiao Yu suppress Xu Lin but not Min Xing? In the final analysis, Xu Lin's prestige was too high, his foundation was too deep, and his ability was too strong, and even to the point that Xiao Yu, the king of the northwest, had to be afraid of three points. This time, Xiao Yu was reluctant to give power to Xu Lin, firstly because he wanted to beat Min Xing, and more importantly, it was inevitable to raise a large army against the herdsmen.

With Xu Lin in front and Lan Yu in the back, Wei Ban is watching from the sidelines, can the shepherd not worry?

The war in front of Danxia Village is about to break out.

Thunder sounded on the ground in the direction of Zhongdu in turn, and Xu Lin, the capital governor who had re-draped the pitch-black armor, took the lead.

The black cavalry advanced like a tide, and when it was still a mile away from Danxia Village, Xu Lin, who had not led the army to fight since the Northern Expedition to the grassland, stopped and looked at Danxia Village from afar.

In the distance from Xu Lin's army to Danxia Village, the terrain is flat and flat, which can be called the best battlefield for cavalry fighting. At this time, Danxia Village was a banner display, bringing together all the elite armies led by the herdsmen into the northwest.

Whether to fight a decisive battle and decide the outcome of the battle, or continue to avoid the battle.

Xu Lin has already given the answer, and it depends on the decision of the shepherd at this moment.

In the howling wind, the shepherd got up and walked out of his Chinese army tent, also wearing armor all over his body, and the bright bright light armor shone with a faint light, which was in stark contrast to the pitch-black Xu Lin.

Countless Northeast Iron Armor split into two columns in front of him, leaving only a passage in the middle for one person to move forward.

The shepherd rode his horse along this passage, and with each step forward, the armor soldiers around him would quickly gather together, and when the herdsman set off to leave Danxia Village, only the boundless armor soldiers were left behind him, and there was no gap in sight.

The shepherd Qi and Xu Lin rode forward alone.

Once the only two of the five major governors guarded the border pass, the central capital governor Xu Lin, and the former northern capital governor shepherd.

The two horsemen stopped their hooves almost at the same time, less than ten feet apart.

The shepherd looked at Xu Lin and said with a smile: "Xu Lin, among the colleagues who were officials in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion back then, you were the strongest in the northwest, but in the end, you could only make a living under the hands of a hairy boy, and you didn't have a nest?"

Xu Lin was unmoved, and said indifferently: "Compared with Zhang Qing and Qin Zheng, who have died, Xu's ending is good. It's that you've been a shrewd shepherd all your life, how did you get used as a gunman by Xiao Lie this time?"

The shepherd smiled calmly and said, "People have misses, horses have stumbled, no one in this world is a victorious general, and at this time and that time, it depends on who can have the last laugh." ”

Xu Lin said: "Since ancient times, those who have been able to become the founding emperors are all only sixty years old, do you think that you can create ancient and modern creations and do things that the ancients could not do?"

The shepherd laughed at himself: "I am old."

Xu Lin glanced at the shepherd's gray beard, and said calmly: "We are all old, after this meeting, I don't know if there will be a chance to see each other again in the future, even if it is goodbye, I am afraid it will be life and death." ”

The shepherd laughed and asked, "Xu Lin, how sure are you that I will leave someone to pastor?"

Xu Lin said without thinking: "Fifty percent." ”

The shepherd laughed, his beard trembling slightly, "Okay, I'll wait for the Northwest Army." ”

The two parted ways.

After the two retreated to their own military formations, the Northwest Cavalry and the Northeast Cavalry lined up and began to charge.

The wind was howling and the flags were blowing.

Tens of thousands of cavalry spread across the land

In the terrifying sound of horses' hooves, the two armies collided violently, and the chaos was indiscernible and indistinguishable. Almost at the same time, the vanguard of the two armies disappeared in an instant after a few insignificant splashes, while the cavalry continued to rush forward until it became a huge whirlpool of quagmire.

After the two armies were completely entangled, the most tragic battle followed.

After a Northwest cavalry soldier put a spear in his hand into the chest of a Northeast Army sergeant, before he could draw his gun, he was cut off by another Northeast soldier who passed sideways, and the Northeast cavalry was picked off his horse by a shot from the Northwest Cavalry who came from behind, and then the horse's hooves trampled on his chest, and he died no longer dead.

The Northwest Army armor sergeant who picked off the Northeast Cavalry continued to rush forward with a gun, and another shot pierced the enemy's chest, and then let go of the spear in his hand, drew his saber and continued to rush forward, but his luck ended there, he was slashed by an oncoming Northeast Army lieutenant and flew the saber in his hand, and then the two horses passed by, and the Northwest Army cavalry turned into a corpse and rolled off the horse.

Some cavalrymen leaped up and threw the enemy off their horses, and they all died under the horses' hooves. There were also two horsemen who collided and died on the spot. There is also a horse that cut off the legs of the enemy's horses before dying.

The two armies strangled each other, far less dazzling than the battle of cultivators, and in an instant, a judgment was made, and life and death were decided.

Everywhere there were people shouting and neighing, the sound of swords and guns clashing, the screams and wails before dying, the dull sound of horses' hooves trampling on corpses, the sound of blades slashing into human bodies, all the sounds were intertwined, like hell on earth.

The difference is that the Northwest Army is located on the ground and has sufficient troops to support it, while the Northeast Army is an expedition of laborers and fights in different places, and one less is killed.

Even if one person is exchanged for two people in the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army will be at a loss, not to mention that the Northeast Army will not be able to exchange one person for two at all.

More often, the Northeast Army's battle losses were slightly higher than those of the Northwest Army.

This is a battle without any luck.

The shepherd who was watching the battle in the rear looked indifferent and said, "Let Xu Ji's department put on armor." ”

A white-haired veteran asked in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, do you really want to use those 3,000 heavy cavalry?

The shepherd shook his head and said: "The northwest can afford it, we can't afford it, if we can't win the battle now, and then evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible, then our 60,000 troops will be cut by Xu Lin's blunt knife, and it will be consumed on the West River Plain little by little, if these 3,000 heavy cavalry can drag Xu Lin's footsteps, then the king would rather let them all die here." ”

The veteran looked at the shepherd, who had planned to break his wrist from the beginning, and then at the fierce battlefield, shook his head and sighed.

――

After the defeat of the army, Xu Ji, who was appointed as the commander of the heavy cavalry by the shepherd, looked calm after receiving the military order, and then began to put on his armor in silence like an ordinary soldier.

Ever since he was summoned by the shepherds late at night, he had already had the consciousness of dying on the battlefield.

He suddenly remembered a sentence.

As a general, you can't die on the execution ground, you can't die on the sickbed, you have to die on the battlefield.

The literati died in the community, and the warriors died on the battlefield.

――

Xu Lin, who was also watching the battle, suddenly changed his face, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The horse's hooves were as dull as rolling thunder, even drowning out the sound of fighting on the battlefield.

A bright silver torrent appeared in Xu Lin's field of vision.

Heavy horses in armor!

The shepherd also has a heavy horse in his hand, which may be a secret to others, but for Xu Lin, it is really not.

As the guard of the northwest gate, Xu Lin once vigorously cultivated heavy horses, pushing the other with himself, Xu Lin did not believe in the shepherd, and he had no idea in this regard.

Although it is costly to raise a heavy cavalry, it can turn the tide of battle at critical moments.

When is the critical moment? For the shepherds to rise up, the present is the time. And Xu Ji did not disappoint the shepherd, and the three thousand iron horsemen were like a bamboo.

Countless Northwest cavalry were rushed and routed by heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry even had to hold their weapons tightly and rely on the sheer force of the charge to cut through the enemy with ease.

The formation of the Northwest Army was shattered in an instant after this heavy cavalry army charged in.
