Just when the whole night of Yanjing was shrouded in all kinds of complicated emotions, when Abbasid XI was anxious about the military situation and his ministers urgently discussed the military situation, when Roddy returned to the Tulip family and had no sleep all night. The Northwest, the Northwest in the midst of a fierce battle, the situation has changed again......

A hill on the edge of the Nishikawa Plain in the northwest.

The night had already covered the earth, and the moonlight was obscured by the billowing dark clouds in the sky, and only occasionally half of his face could be revealed. There was no starlight in the sky, and an army was marching the winding mountain road.

They were wearing the uniforms and armor of the Empire of Light, and the soldiers were already exhausted at the moment. Many people just dragged their swollen and numb legs along with the person in front of them. The standard-bearer was also listless on his horse, and the original flame-like thorn flower banner was weakly carried on his shoulder, and he pulled the reins with one hand, barely allowing himself to fall off his horse.

From soldiers to officers, all of them are pessimistic and fearful about the future. They were originally subordinate to the Northwest Corps garrison at Blackstone Fort, but the day before yesterday they received an order from General Reuben, the commander of the Northwest Corps, ordering them to immediately abandon Blackstone Fort and move closer to Watt Fortress, where the main force of the Northwest Corps is located, at all costs.

At this moment, the whole army was filled with a pessimistic atmosphere, and everyone knew that in the past month, the Northwest Army had been defeated one after another, and General Reuben's main army of 150,000 troops had been killed by the Iron Cavalry Regiment commanded by the murderous demon king Luo Chenthal of the Great Moon Kingdom. Having lost most of the territory of the northwestern province of Rostock, and finally even the stronghold of Fort Mudan was captured, General Ruben led the main force to hold on to the last large fortress in the northwest, Watt.

And just two days ago, all kinds of news came, I heard that the murderous demon king Luo Chenthal had been running for two days and two nights in a row, pulling out the emperor's [***] strongholds around the Watt Fortress one by one, and Loulan Fort and Trier Fort were also breached overnight.

The Northwest Army Command ordered all the scattered troops to immediately move closer to the main force -- this order was correct, it was already at a disadvantage, and instead of scattering the forces and letting people break them one by one, it was better to clench their fists and concentrate their forces on confronting the other side.

However, when the commander of the Black Market Fort received the order personally issued by General Ruben of the Northwest Army Command, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The order required him to lead the fifteen thousand defenders of Blackstone Fort to join the headquarters at once, but General Reuben only gave him a day and a night!

"What the hell!" the imperial commander of Blackstone Fort sat on his horse, and couldn't help but glance back at the long troops behind him, and scolded in his heart: "How did you tell me to arrive for two days and two nights? That's a road of more than 600 miles! We are infantry! Not cavalry! A soldier walks on two legs and has to walk 600 miles in two days and two nights? It's a joke! There are also heavy ordnance following behind! Can those things fly?"

The commander couldn't help but secretly beg the great god for his blessing - his army had been on the road for a whole day without a moment of rest, and even if he could make it to join the army, I am afraid that this army would not have any combat strength in a short time. Now the soldier is so tired that he doesn't even have the strength to walk...... If...... Suppose you encounter an enemy on the road now...... That's it......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the news that came two days ago, it was said that two garrison armies in other places were intercepted by the troops of the Great Moon Kingdom on the way to get closer to the main army after receiving the order, and as a result, the infantry of the empire on the plain was rushed to pieces by the cavalry of those alien barbarians, and almost all the troops were wiped out......

I can only ask the gods to bless you!

He looked at the surrounding terrain, fortunately, this is not a plain open area, the surrounding hills make the road relatively narrow, even if you encounter the enemy, the opponent's cavalry will not be able to play much role......

At this time, several scout cavalry ran back from a distance. The Commander immediately perked up and asked, "How's it going?"

The cavalry was already covered with sweat, but his expression was still very calm, and he said loudly: "My lord, the mountain road ahead is finished, and we will be able to walk out of this hill in about half an hour! It's just that my lord, we don't think we're going to find a better place to camp tonight. In front of it is an open field, but there is a small forest next to it. ”

The commander listened carefully to the scout's report, not daring to miss a word, and then he was silent for a moment.

It looks like it's going to rain tonight, so camping on the edge of the woods shouldn't be too much of a problem. Don't worry about the enemy attacking with fire...... Alas, I hope I don't run into enemies. It's raining, and in this bad weather, presumably the cavalry of the Great Moon Kingdom won't come out to attack us, right? After all, this kind of rainy and muddy weather is not conducive to cavalry charges.

"Order the whole army to speed up, get out of this mountainous area, and set up camp!" he ordered in a loud voice......

The soldier received the order, although his body had long since lost his strength, but when he heard that he could camp and rest, he still strengthened his spirit and quickened his pace.

When the front of the group walked out of the mountain pass and saw an open plain in front of them, the soldiers could not help but let out an exhausted cheer - it was finally time to rest!

After the order to camp was handed down, the whole army began to get busy. To the soldiers' disappointment, the scout had so few woods that they had stumped to their behalf, and the trees were all slender saplings that could not be cut down to build a barrage for camping. In desperation, they could only use the mobilization of baggage carts and simple timber hastily to form a weak camp wall.

However, to the relief of the Imperial soldiers, the rumor may not have appeared in the ambush encountered, and the legendary Killer Demon King of the Great Moon Kingdom did not seem to show up - presumably in this weather, the enemy would feel tired. Everyone thought they would at least survive the first night safely.

A veteran was teaching the panicked recruits not to panic, and that if they were attacked by an enemy, scouts walking around would be warned - and if they wanted to escape, it was not too late to hear the enemy's trumpets and war drums running.

The whole barracks were in a hurry, the soldiers were busy setting up tents and burying pots to make food, there was a loud "click", an earth-shattering thunder sounded, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and then there was a bang, and the heavy rain smashed down on the head and face.

The soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief, it finally rained, and on such a rainy day, the enemy's cavalry would not come out!

It was already completely dark, and a recruit was soaking wet, and he was trying to fix the wooden camp wall that had just been blown crooked by the wind with a hammer, when suddenly he looked up in horror as if sensing something, and looked up in horror at the far end of the empty sky, to the east, and began to find some faint black shadows.

"What's that!!"

An old soldier looked back, his face immediately changed, and his mouth opened wide: "It looks ...... It seems to be a human! Oh my God! It's an enemy! It's the cavalry of the Great Moon Kingdom!!!"

"Enemy attack!!"

I couldn't tell who was the first to shout this sentence, and then it quickly spread like a plague in the dim night. Everyone was terrified, and everyone screamed and threw away the tents they were building and the fences they were erecting. The soldiers frantically searched for their swords. The cavalry hurriedly put on their armor, and the men in the huge camp shouted and neighed.

I have to deny that the Bright Empire has been established for two hundred years, and the tradition of martial arts has still created many real heroes. At this time, the one who really showed a martial spirit was the loyal and brave commander of this army!

"Panic what! Everyone take up arms!" the commander immediately decided, drew his sword and slashed the few sergeants around him who were still rushing and running in panic. "If you panic any longer, everyone won't survive! Infantry formation!" a majestic voice sounded in the night, and he ran all the way, constantly killing several soldiers who did not obey the order and blindly ran around with his sword, and then drove the scattered soldiers into a phalanx with his own soldiers.

"Don't panic, the enemy is still in formation, and there is still some time for them to charge!" the commander tried to calm down as many soldiers as possible, "Pick up your swords! Raise your shields!!Shield-bearers in the first column!Spearmen in the second!"

Several infantry formations that were beginning to take shape were finally lined up, and the commander commanded his only five hundred cavalry to turn over and move quickly to the back of the infantry line a hundred paces. These five hundred men were the cavalry he had trained single-handedly, the real elite force in this army, and all of them had cold and resolute faces, and they held their sabers across their chests and tightened their reins.

The dull sound of horses' hooves came, and the earth shook under the trampling of thousands of horses' hooves, bringing dust to fly. The trampling of thousands of horses' hooves even drowned out the rolling thunder overhead......

The commander sat on his horse and watched the speed of the enemy's approach, and couldn't help but have some questions in his heart: "It doesn't seem right, how can their cavalry charge so slowly?"

The black iron stream in the distance gradually approached, and the sight of the imperial soldier could finally clearly see the appearance of the enemy cavalry, and he could even see the feathers on the helmet of the enemy cavalry, and the commander suddenly showed a look of fear in his eyes: "It's not good! It's the archers!!"

"Huh!" A heart-wrenching sound broke through the air, and suddenly tens of thousands of sharp arrows fell from the sky in the enemy's cavalry formation! The shield bearers in the infantry ranks were too short to resist the bows and arrows that were shooting like locusts from the sky. Countless soldiers fell to the ground screaming with arrows, and some were pierced by several wolf's tooth arrows as soon as they raised their shields!

Almost instantly, the already disheartened army collapsed, all the infantry ranks were in disarray, and it was clear to everyone that ordinary light infantry was no match for archers in the wilderness. Their meager equipment could not resist the sharp arrows fired by the opponent, and after the opponent's bow and arrows were fired, the full charge of the enemy cavalry was even more of a massacre for them!

Countless people kept shouting: "Run for your life, everyone run for your life!" The infantry queue that the emperor [***] had painstakingly driven out collapsed in an instant, and he slashed a few fleeing soldiers with his sword in the back, still unable to control the situation. These scattered and chaotic troops instead rushed the cavalry queue he was preparing to follow.

At this moment, the enemy's cavalry formation suddenly fell silent, and then a deep and high-pitched voice was heard shouting: "Change !!!your sword!

"Stellier !!" tens of thousands of cavalry let out an earth-shattering cry at the same time. The Imperial Commander knew at once that he was finished!

The black iron stream roared suddenly, rushing at an incredible speed, and the earth trembled under the galloping horses, and the iron hooves sounded, as if they were about to trample everything to pieces!

In the roar, the front end of the enemy's cavalry had easily broken through the already fragile infantry ranks, and some of the brave soldiers who were still holding their positions had not had time to see the twisted and brutal faces and red eyes under the helmets of the enemy's cavalry, and the entire queue was shattered.

The enemy's iron cavalry quickly crossed the front line of the infantry and rushed directly into the depths of the Emperor's battalion.

Behind them were the completely crumbling and scattered infantry, which were being slaughtered by a steady stream of cavalry from behind, often chopping down with scimitars or trampled into flesh by the enemy's horse's hooves before their swords were wielded!

The Imperial Commander watched in despair as his infantry ranks were easily torn apart by his opponents, and his body could not help but tremble, and he said to his herald in a voice that was so calm that it was almost death: "Pass my orders, tell everyone to flee, run as far as you can!"

After giving the last order of his life, the loyal soldier of the empire turned back to his five hundred cavalrymen and shouted loudly: "I used to be the personal soldier of Duke Tulip! There is absolutely no coward who escapes under the banner of Tulip! Are you afraid?!"

"Follow your lord!" The shouts of the five hundred seemed to drown out the shouts and screams of the heavens! Five hundred swords of snow were raised high!

The commander no longer looked behind him, and drove his horse to rush towards the iron stream without hesitation, and none of the five hundred heroic elite cavalry behind him hesitated, shouting with a long saber and following closely behind!

The last cavalry of the empire collided with the enemy's cavalry forward. Because the enemy's vanguard had weakened from the first line of infantry, their sniping had gained some upper hand at the beginning, and it also bought valuable time for the rout and escape of the other battalions - later scholars of the history of warfare believed that if it had not been for the heroic commander of the empire who looked at death in times of danger, the 15,000 troops of this main reinforcement army would have probably been completely destroyed.

But their sniping did not last long. The valiant commander and his five hundred men were like pebbles thrown into a great river in the great torrent of steel, and although they splashed a little for a while, they were soon drowned......

`

In this battle, the 20,000 cavalry of the Great Moon Kingdom completely crushed the local defenders of the 15,000-strong reinforcement of the main force of the Northwest Army, and for a whole night, the empty plains were filled with the roar of the Iron Cavalry of the Great Moon Kingdom and the miserable howls of the Imperial soldiers. This is no longer a battle! The infantry, who had lost their defensive position, were wantonly slaughtered by the cavalry!

In this night attack, 15,000 emperors [***] were completely defeated, and in the end, less than 5,000 people escaped from this massacre. And the chances of survival of these 5,000 men were bought back by the commander and his 500 warriors with their lives! And the name of this commander is not recorded......

In this battle, the 20,000 cavalry led by Luo Chenthal, the prince of the Great Moon Kingdom, won a great victory, completely defeating the last reinforcement force that was close to the main force of the Northwest Army! Annihilating more than 10,000 enemies......

No captives!;
