As the saying goes: the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind.

From ancient times to the present, people's fortunes have always been unparalleled blessings and disasters.

And today's experience of the old Huainan King fully illustrates this point.

Just when the old Huainan King and the others had just entered the charred woods and thought they had escaped, someone suddenly heard some rustling sounds from the depths of the woods.

Now that the leaves and shrubs in the woods had been burned, it was easy for everyone to see some steppe men in leather armor heading in their direction from where the sound came.

"Fuck there, the steppe barbarians are in ambush!"

Seeing this, Huang Budo immediately reminded everyone loudly.

Immediately, everyone who had just been able to catch their breath tensed their nerves again.

"Don't panic! You see, these guys don't seem to be ambushed here in advance. ”

Seeing that everyone was in a panic, Guo Li immediately signaled everyone not to be nervous.

And everyone looked at these steppe cavalry who suddenly appeared, only to find that since they were on the same side as their own, they all frowned and waited for battle.

Seeing these steppe cavalry in such a state, they knew that the other party was also as frightened by this unexpected encounter as they were.

"Don't be stunned! Kill these steppe barbarians now, or when the steppe cavalry outside comes in, we will fall into a state of being attacked on our backs. ”

When the old Huainan King saw that everyone was stunned, he gave the order as soon as possible.

Although the old Huainan King is sometimes very proud, it is difficult to listen to other people's opinions most of the time.

But after all, when he was young, he had many battles with the steppe army in the northern frontier.

As the commander of the Huainan Army at that time, he still had some experience in terms of strategy and tactics and troop arrangement.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to teach an apprentice like Guo Li.

But with the continuous growth of age and years of neglect in battle, the scheming, brave and decisive King Huainan has already transformed into a scheming vassal king who is good at intriguing and fighting.

But even so, some things have not changed, such as his determination and persistence.

That's why he was so eager in the previous raids.

Although this made everyone fall into the trap set by the grassland army, it does not mean that his determination and persistence are wrong.

For example, his decisiveness is a preemptive strike for the current situation.

With this reminder of the old Huainan King, everyone came back to their senses.

So without saying a word, they immediately pounced on these steppe cavalrymen who had suddenly appeared.

"Everyone be careful to protect the shaman!"

These steppe cavalry that suddenly appeared were the ones led by Mu Hua Li Falcon who went to hunt down Li Yi and the others before.

Immediately, the hundreds of steppe cavalry jumped off their horses, and then pulled out their scimitars at their waists and waited for them.

"Brothers, kill me!"

With Huang Budo's roar, the two sides split and fought each other in short combat.

Although the number of people on the side of the Muhua Li Falcon was only a few hundred, they blocked the war horses on the left and right sides of the team at the first time.

In this way, although the Huainan King had the advantage in numbers, the people could not completely surround the other party.

They had only the option of engaging in a battle with the steppe army from the front.

But when the two sides came into contact, Huang Budo's heart couldn't help but be shocked.

Because as soon as he fought, Huang Budo knew that the grassland cavalry in front of him was definitely not an idle person.

And the truth is just as he judged.

The city guard battalion and the guards of the king of Huainan, who had an advantage in numbers, did not enter the opponent's battle formation at the first time after facing each other.

On the contrary, these steppe cavalry relied on the scimitars in their hands to kill the city guard battalion and the Huainan guards one after another.

For a while, the people who were originally imposing were immediately caught off guard.

"You don't have to worry, we just need to fight steadily, thinking about it, Wan Qi Yuele must have sent people to chase these Dayu people."

Mu Hua, who was protected in the middle of the crowd, rode on a horse and observed the situation on Lao Huainan's side, and finally had some bottom in his heart.

Originally, these steppe cavalry wanted to take the opportunity to rush back into the crowd and slash and slash them, but after hearing Mu Hua Li Falcon's order, they immediately stopped advancing.

And the old Huainan King's side was originally caught off guard by these steppe cavalry.

Just when they thought that the other party would take this opportunity to kill them completely, they suddenly shrank their formation.

"Something is wrong!"

Guo Li shook off the blood on his long sword, frowned, and looked at this grassland cavalry team of only a few hundred people.

"What's wrong?"

Lu He, who was on the side, looked at Guo Li puzzled and asked.

"It stands to reason that these steppe barbarians have obviously taken advantage just now, and they could have taken this opportunity to expand their gains, but they didn't do it, don't you think it's strange?"

Guo Li immediately said what he doubted.

"Maybe it's because they see that we outnumber them, and they're worried that we'll be defeated by our outnumbering advantage in the end?"

Zhang Fengmu stepped forward and said when he heard this.

"yes, maybe they're just afraid of our numbers!"

Lu He also felt that what Zhang Fengmu said was very reasonable.

"No, these guys were obviously ready to take advantage of the victory to chase just now, but they suddenly stopped moving, which means that this is the other party's sudden order."

The old Huainan king who was riding on a war horse could see the battle situation just now clearly.

"In this way, these steppe barbarians do not want to take advantage of the victory to pursue them, they are just intimidated by the orders of the leader."

At this time, Huang Budo also returned to the battle formation, and then took a breath and said.

After he confronted the steppe cavalry on the opposite side just now, although he successfully killed the two of them, he was almost slashed in the neck by the opponent's scimitar.

If he hadn't dodged just now, he would have become a corpse by now, just like those who fell on the ground.

"That's right, and I'm afraid this person's identity is not simple!"

Guo Li then said again.

"How so?"

Lu He asked puzzled.

"It's very simple, just now these steppe people have obviously gained the upper hand, but they immediately gave up the attack because of an order, which is enough to show that this person who gave the order has a high prestige among them."

Guo Li analyzed to everyone.

"That doesn't mean anything! Maybe the person who gave the order was an ordinary steppe general! ”

Zhang Fengmu has a different view on this.

"Nope! This man is definitely not an ordinary steppe general! ”

Huang Budo said at this time.

"Why?"

Everyone looked at Huang Budo and asked.

"It's very simple, because the combat effectiveness of these steppe cavalry is a little ridiculously strong!"

Huang Budo squinted his eyes and said with a serious face.

In this regard, everyone present had no objection to the reason Huang Budo said.

After all, it is possible for only a person of noble status to bring so many powerful steppe cavalry by his side.

"So, if we leave these steppe cavalry in front of us now, we may not be able to pursue us?"

Lu He said thoughtfully.

"That's how it should be."

As for whether these grassland barbarians will take the initiative to pursue them, Huang Budo does not dare to guarantee them.

After all, Huang Budo and others can't figure out the style of these grassland people.

"In that case, in order to prevent us from being caught in the front and back, we can test it now!"

The old Huainan King thought for a while and made up his mind.

"If they don't pursue, we will bypass them immediately, but if they choose to pursue, then we will take this opportunity to directly give them a thief to capture the king first."

In the opinion of the old Huainan King, since these steppe cavalry must be protecting important people in the grassland army, then as long as he is taken down on his side, he may be able to deter those steppe cavalry outside the woods.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, thinking that this battle plan of the old Huainan King was perfect.

So they ordered everyone to move to the left side of the woods, trying to bypass the steppe cavalry.

"Lord Shaman, these cowards seem to be preparing to escape, what should we do next?"

Seeing this, a general in the steppe cavalry immediately asked Mu Huali Falcon for instructions.

"Stop them!"

Mu Hua Li Falcon smiled faintly and then commanded.

"But I'm afraid it's a conspiracy made up by those cowards!"

It stands to reason that Muhua Li Falcon, who is a shaman, has already given orders, and whoever it is should carry it out directly.

But the steppe general still raised his own concerns.

After all, in the eyes of this grassland general, Mu Hua Li Falcon's personal safety is above all else.

Moreover, Muhua Li Falcon had also been attacked by the Dayu people before.

If it weren't for the blessing of the wolf king god Mu Hua Li Falcon, maybe he would be a corpse by now.

Hearing this, Mu Hua Li Falcon was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

However, his smile was somewhat chilling in the eyes of this steppe general.

"Maybe you don't know one thing, the one thing I hate the most is that someone questions my orders, even if it's for my sake!"

"If your subordinates know their mistakes, please calm your anger!"

When the steppe general heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.

"I'll just say this sentence once!"

Mu Hua Li Falcon said coldly, and then he restrained the chilling smile on his face and turned into a cold and solemn appearance.

"Subordinates know their mistakes!"

The surrounding steppe cavalry felt a pang in their hearts when they saw this.

"In that case, what are you still doing in a daze?"

After Mu Hua Li Falcon finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the other steppe cavalry and said loudly.

Shouted coldly by him, the grassland cavalry held weapons in their hands and chased them in the direction where the old Huainan King and them were.

On the other side, the grassland army was also in the army, and on the battlefield of the coalition army, Mu Xiayan stood at the front of the military formation, watching the grassland army keep attacking their army in waves.

Although the grassland cavalry was numerous and fiercely attacked, in the face of the Qingjia Army and the Tiger Guards who had already formed a formation, they were like tigers biting turtles, and they were a little at a loss.

Even if they were able to tear a hole in the battle formation of the Dayu people with their constant impact, these Dayu people who seemed to be shrunk in a turtle shell would quickly fill the gap.

"Lord Temple, let's just defend and not attack, it's too passive!"

Seeing the continuous death of the Tiger Guards he brought, Shi Wensheng couldn't help it.

You must know that the number of Tiger Guards he brought over is not very large, and if they continue to consume like this, even if they can defeat the grassland army, they will not have many people left in the end.

But these Tiger Guards are all the prince's private army.

At the beginning, the crown prince took half of the manpower from the Tiger Guard army and confessed that he had given the order.

And this order is: if the grassland people win, they will destroy the grassland army, and if Zongzheng Temple wins, they will slaughter Zongzheng Temple.

"It's not time yet!"

In the face of Shi Wensheng's urging, Mu Xiayan rode on a war horse and quietly watched the grassland cavalry rush towards them wave after wave.

"How long will that be?"

Shi Wensheng saw that Mu Xiayan still refused to attack, and Shi Wensheng immediately asked.

"Wait for the grassland army to hit a few more waves!"

Mu Xia said without squinting at the grassland army in front of him.

"I know that Lord Simasa is preparing to consume the momentum and horsepower of the grassland army, but we are still losing manpower in this kind of defense, and I am afraid that the soldiers on our side will completely collapse when we can't wait for the other side to be sleepy and tired."

Shi Wensheng pointed to the fallen corpses in front of the battle formation and said.

"Humph! Go to pieces? Do you look at how they look like they're going to collapse? ”

Mu Xiayan couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and then directly pointed to the green armor soldiers who were standing in front of him with shields and asked.

As soon as these words came out, Shi Wensheng's face couldn't help but look a little difficult.

In fact, the Tiger Guard Army in his hands is also the kind of army that can withstand hard battles and long battles.

But after all, this Tiger Guard army was the prince's personal army, and most of the soldiers were carefully selected from the various armies of Dayu.

These people, both in terms of force and willpower, are far from being comparable to ordinary Dayu soldiers.

But the Qingjia army in Zongzheng Temple in front of him completely subverted his perception of ordinary troops.

Shi Wensheng had secretly observed it before.

He found that these seemingly inconspicuous Qingjia soldiers simply subverted his perception of ordinary armies.

First of all, the combat effectiveness of these Qingjia troops is not inferior to that of the Tiger Guards, and they are even stronger than the Tiger Guards.

The second point is that these Qingjia troops cooperate quite tacitly.

They take care of the safety of their comrades around them when they fight.

In this way, after those steppe cavalry found that several rounds of charges were fruitless, they immediately increased their impact on the defense of the Qingjia Army.

But even if the green armor army was like this, they could still grit their teeth and hold their shields against the grassland cavalry again and again.

Although sometimes there are Qingjia soldiers who can't withstand the impact of the grassland cavalry because they lose their strength, the Qingjia army behind him will rush up to fill those gaps as soon as possible.

And the third point, which Shi Wensheng felt the most terrifying, was that these Qingjia soldiers didn't have too many voices when they were fighting.

You know, on the battlefield, when faced with a fierce battle, most people become enthusiastic.

And these people will inevitably let out all kinds of roars when they fight.

On the one hand, these roars can cheer you up, and on the other hand, they can also have a certain deterrent effect.

However, when the Qingjia soldiers were fighting, there were few people who roared.

And an army like the Qingjia Army is either confident enough to defeat the enemy, or they simply don't know fear.

As for what kind of situation the Qingjia Army is, Shi Wensheng knows it in his heart.
