When Li Yi and the others continued to move forward in the mountains with their captives.

On the grasslands of Saibei, the cavalrymen who did not return at night rode on horseback and lowered their bodies and ran quickly.

In front of them were a large number of steppe tribal cavalry.

They rode on horseback, shouting and bending their bows and arrows, and the sharp arrows were fired in patches towards the cavalrymen who did not return from the night. Just last night, the cavalry, who did not return at night, managed to discover the stronghold of the steppe tribe.

After a little probing, they decided to concentrate all their forces and charge at the Great Tent of their Chinese army.

Their plan this time was to take a decapitation operation and surprise the enemy camp.

The staff of the military department and the North Division believed that the delay in the action of the various tribes in the steppe must be brewing some conspiracy.

Therefore, they ordered a suicidal raid to kill as many other clan leaders and high-ranking people as possible.

If he is lucky enough to be able to succeed in beheading, then this battle will surely be the greatest victory in military history.

And even if the whole army is wiped out at night after defeat, it can also be used to provoke the grassland tribes to send troops to disrupt the other party's arrangement and gain the initiative for the next war.

No matter how you calculate it, it's a sure-fire deal.

However, these usually talkative aides do not know that wars are dynamic, and they cannot win them on paper.

When the cavalry who did not return at night approached the steppe tribe camp thirty miles away, they had already been discovered.

They were not found by the warriors of the steppe tribes, but by eagles hovering in the sky.

Although the Nightdoers had guessed that they were likely to be discovered, the Nightdoir Commander believed that as long as they were fast enough, even if they did, they might not be able to assemble a decent force to resist them.

So they rushed towards the felt tents that were all over the place.

The goal is in front of them, and as long as they can successfully kill them, their mission will be completed.

As for their own lives, they had been left behind before they set out on the expedition.

The iron cavalry blocked the poor tiger's den, Jin Ge swept the wild wolf court, defended the family and the country, and the heroic and heroic achievements of the ages.

In their minds, as long as they can step on the royal court and sweep the Wolf Mountain, even if they bury their bones in this grassland, they will have no regrets.

Seeing that the long felt tent was getting closer and closer, the flames in the hearts of the cavalrymen who did not return at night began to burn.

As soon as they could rush in, they would cut off the heads of the barbarians with the long swords at their waists.

They will let this group of hungry wolves who are trying to plunder the Great Danger know that those who commit our Great Danger will be punished even if they are far away.

But just as they were looking forward to it, suddenly teams of cavalry rushed out of the gathering place of the steppe tribes.

The cavalry did not form any decent formation, they hurriedly mounted their horses and began to gallop in the direction of the night's return.

But the originally scattered formation was quickly organized into a neat phalanx in the process of advancing.

And there was a steady stream of cavalry following them in the rear.

Originally, only small patches of cavalry could be seen in the field of vision of the night, but slowly these cavalry formed a long line of defense in front of their eyes.

As the distance between the two sides approached, there were already countless cavalry in front of the eyes of the night who did not return.

When the cavalrymen who did not return at night came within range of their bows and arrows, countless feathered arrows began to rain down on them.

As the rain of arrows fell, the soldiers who did not return at night nailed their shields to the top of their saddles.

A dense rain of arrows crackled like raindrops on the iron-clad shield.

Soon their shields were filled with feathered arrows.

And the horses they sat on thought they were wearing armor, so they did not receive much damage.

But even so, some horses were shot in the eye or in the leg by a rain of arrows.

The nightmen who harnessed the horses immediately fell from their horses.

But no one stopped to help them, and the other soldiers who did not return from the night continued to rush forward at a high speed.

As a cavalry raider, they are equipped with the best weapons in the army.

With their superior weapons and armor, they could easily tear through the opposing cavalry's defenses as long as they maintained this speed.

In previous years, the cavalry who did not return at night would suffer a great loss when they encountered the light cavalry of the steppe tribe.

Because although the heavy cavalry has an absolute advantage in defense and attack power compared to the light cavalry, it is much inferior in mobility.

Therefore, each time the cavalry of the steppe tribe would choose to constantly wander and harass in battle, until they were exhausted from the night and then sent heavy cavalry to attack.

And this time is different, the purpose of not returning at night is to attack the opponent's Chinese army tent.

As the defending side, the steppe tribes can no longer use the previous tactics of wandering and harassing, as long as they wander away and do not return at night, they can directly attack the Yellow Dragon.

At that time, the tribal leaders in the big tent of the Chinese army will inevitably be slaughtered at night.

Therefore, even if the night is now full of dense steppe cavalry, they still launch a decisive charge.

In the eyes of the commander of the night no return, the defensive formation of these light cavalry was completely not enough for the night no return to charge.

When there were less than a hundred meters left on both sides, the archers of the steppe tribe had already begun to retreat to the flanks.

From the time the night did not return into their range, they had only shot a total of three waves of arrows.

They were already moving very quickly.

It's just that these three waves of arrow rain did not have much impact on the night of return.

The speed of the night has not slowed down, which is the advantage of the heavy cavalry, and the defense is too good to ignore some arrow attacks.

As the archers withdrew to the flanks, the heavy cavalry of the rear brigade of the steppe cavalry began to fill the empty space of the archers.

It's just that they may have been summoned in a hurry, so their numbers are not very large.

At the same time, their formation also looks rather scattered, which is completely in the expectation of the night doomers.

In the blink of an eye, the distance of 100 meters between the two sides has completely disappeared.

The cavalry of the two sides officially met, and both sides had already drawn their weapons at this time, ready to greet each other.

The moment the cavalry of the two sides overlapped, the sound of swords clashing sounded on the grassland.

In addition to being equipped with a standard long sword, each of the soldiers who did not return at night was equipped with a golden gourd hammer with a long pole.

Although this thing may not seem big, it is amazingly lethal.

As a blunt weapon, in the state of high-speed charge, this thing can be said to be dead and injured when touched.

And they can also completely ignore the opponent's defenses.

And the heavy cavalry of the various tribes of the steppe are equipped with bones.

It's almost the same as the Night's Gourd Hammer and it's a blunt weapon, except that the bone is more like a mace, but there are very few spikes on it.

The lethality of this bone should not be underestimated, and this thing is also a good object for dealing with heavy cavalry.

When the gourd hammer meets the bones, it is like Mars hitting the earth.

I have to say that the cavalry who do not return at night are all good hands selected from the army, and their power can be fully reflected at this time.

In the face of the whizzing bones, they always easily dodge sideways.

Then, when the two sides staggered, it was a blow to each other's arms or heads.

The steppe riders who were hit either had their heads shattered or their shoulder bones shattered.

Many of them were knocked to the ground by the tremendous force of the impact, and then trampled into flesh by the galloping horses.

All of a sudden, the original steppe heavy cavalry phalanx was impacted into a huge depression by the night non-returnees.

If you look down from the sky, you will find that the night cavalry at this time is like a huge arrow that has pierced into the cavalry of the steppe tribe.

Seeing that the opponent's heavy cavalry formation was about to be attacked, suddenly the cavalry on both sides of them began to turn around and rushed towards the cavalry who did not return from both sides.

The leader who did not return at night instantly understood the other party's intentions.

They were trying to cut off the cavalry formation that did not return from the middle.

In this way, even if the cavalry who did not return at night penetrated their heavy cavalry formation, they would quickly be divided and surrounded by other cavalry.

When the time comes, they will be able to break through the cavalry that does not return at night.

"Change formation!"

The leader of the cavalry shouted at once, and then he raised a red banner.

Since the sound transmission of cavalry during the rush is easily affected by the sound of horses' hooves, wind or battle sounds, the flag has become a way for cavalrymen to transmit instructions.

When the red banner was raised high by him, the same color banner began to be raised among the night cavalry.

As a result, the formation of the cavalry that did not return at night immediately changed.

The cavalry in the rear and on both sides immediately increased the speed of their horses, and the originally slender arrow formation immediately became an inverted triangle.

And the cavalrymen, who were going to volley the night and do not return to the rear, immediately pounced.

But in this way, the range of the night no return attack changed from the original point to a line.

As a result, their speed was greatly affected, and the originally neat formation began to loosen.

However, in the eyes of the leader who does not return at night, this is all a normal phenomenon.

As soon as their cavalry penetrated a point of the entire defensive line, he would immediately order a change of formation to continue to change into a sharp arrow formation, so that the cavalry could use this to expand the scope of the breakthrough.

At this time, in the largest felt tent of the steppe tribe, the young shaman walked out of the felt tent with all the tribal leaders.

The cold wind blew on everyone's bodies, causing many dazed guys to wake up immediately.

The young shamans walked slowly to a high wooden platform, and they looked with their hands behind their backs as the Nightdoers wreaked havoc on the cavalry positions of the steppe tribes in the distance.

The wooden platform at his feet is usually used to worship the wolf king god, and it is said that the higher the place of prayer, the closer the wolf king will be, so the wooden platform under their feet is five or six meters high.

Standing on this high platform, you can see the battle in the distance.

"What do you think of this year's Night's Return?"

The young shaman asked with interest, not at all worried about breaking in and killing himself at night.

"Hmph, they're all cowards in thick armor, and they're no different from the turtle."

Yu Jiu Lu Ying snorted disdainfully.

"That is, if it weren't for the thick armor on their bodies, they would have been killed by our sharpshooters a long time ago."

Baye Gule also echoed.

In fact, Baye Gule still admires the cavalry that does not return at night.

Although the people on the grassland think that only if their own force is strong enough can they be regarded as real men, relying on the sword and armor is completely cowardly.

Therefore, most of them looked down on the soldiers of the Dayu Dynasty, after all, in terms of personal strength, the soldiers of the grassland tribe were far stronger than the soldiers of the Dayu Dynasty.

But Baye Gule doesn't think so, he thinks that the grassland tribe should learn from each other's strengths, since he knows that the heavy cavalry of the Dayu Dynasty is powerful, why not learn it.

Therefore, he also has a unit under his command, which is known as the first heavy cavalry of the steppe.

"Wan Qi Haiyin, what do you think?"

Seeing that Wan Qi Haiyin did not react, the young shaman took the initiative to ask questions.

"Honorable Shaman, I think that this year's Night's Never Return is much stronger than in previous years, and it is surprising that this time they dared to take the initiative to attack our camp."

"Wan Qihai Yin Khan, don't think too highly of these guys, no matter how strong they are, they will die under the long knife of my steppe son."

Yu Jiu Luying still said disdainfully.

"No, Wan Qihai Yin Khan is right, this year's night no return is indeed stronger than in previous years, but even so, they can't escape death today, what a pity!"

The young shaman looked at the cavalry on both sides with a reluctant expression.

Only during the time they spoke, Night No Return once again pushed the entire front in the direction of the steppe camp a lot.

Although their speed was reduced a lot again, as long as they worked hard, they could completely break through the defense line of the grassland tribe.

What is puzzling is that there is only a thin layer of defense left in front of them when they don't return home, but they have tried several times, but they can't break through.

At this time, the leader who did not return at night had a bad feeling, and he always felt that the charge just now seemed to be a little too smooth.

In previous years, they had fought many times with the steppe heavy cavalry, but none of them had been as smooth as this time today.

In the past, they had to pay a terrible price to drive each other's heavy cavalry away.

And in the past, they would pay huge casualties in the duel with the opposing heavy cavalry.

But today they have not suffered too many casualties, you must know that the target of their attack today is the Chinese army tent of the grassland tribe, once they raid it, the grassland tribe will be completely chaotic.

So logically speaking, they should resist to the death, but in terms of the current number of casualties who do not return at night, this is very unreasonable.

Just when the leader of the night did not return was still thinking about these problems, suddenly the speed of the entire night cavalry suddenly and rapidly decreased.

The leader of the night did not return to look ahead, and the already thin heavy cavalry defense line suddenly became thick again.

And a large number of steppe heavy cavalry poured out from behind the hussars on the flanks.

They were quickly added to the heavy cavalry formation.

"Damn, we've got it!"

The leader who didn't return at night couldn't help but curse secretly.

But at this time, there was no turning back from the bow, and they had no possibility of retreating at this time.
