On the battlefield.
Once a drum, twice a drum, three times a drum.
This is especially true for cavalry.
After the cavalry has completed a round, the momentum will gradually drop and the group will regroup for another charge.
If at this juncture they encounter a counter-charge from the opposing cavalry, one will have the momentum and the other will have half the momentum.
Once the two sides collide, the cavalry side, which has not yet reached its speed limit, will be less effective!
“Not necessarily, being counter-charged, have our Great Snow Dragon Cavalry encountered this less often?”
A Golden Guard’s eyes shifted and refuted Bai Qi.
“After charging and killing for so long, haven’t you guys noticed it yet?”
Bai Qi gripped the reins with one hand and the Dragon Rider’s war sword with the other, gazing ahead and squeezing a sentence out of his teeth.
The two Golden Guards’ faces changed once again.
They were not stupid.
If they could achieve this level, if they weren’t in the Great Snow Dragon Rider army, with Huo Zhenxiao’s glory overshadowing them, if they were placed in other armies, they would be enough to be ranked as gods of war.
Just now, they had been overwhelmed by the heat of the moment and were briefly overwhelmed by the victory.
Now, when Bai Qi said something, it was like a pot of cold water being poured over their heads.
“It’s too weak! It’s the same as before!”
“Not as tough as we expected!”
The two Golden Guards said in unison.
The wind howled.
The battle fire was raging across the sky.
At this moment, the roar around them seemed faint to the ears of the two Golden Guards.
The two men were walking side by side with Bai Qi, but they were looking ahead together.
Their gaze was heavy as they looked beyond the sea of people and into the distance.
The majestic, murderous cavalry of the barbarians came crashing into the eyes of the two Golden Guards like a nightmare.
“Kill!”
The shouts of killing that rushed to the sky resounded across the battlefield.
The rabbit cavalry had long since finished building up their momentum, and with a shout of killing, the vast cavalry galloped up in a frenzy.
Rumble ……
The ground trembled and smoke rolled.
The cannon fire from the skies reflected on the hilts of war swords and spears, the cold light of which was incomparably ominous.
“Charge!”
Looking at the ocean of barbarian cavalry, Bai Qi merely uttered one word indifferently.
This word was resounding and decisive.
The two Golden Guards looked stern and slaughtered as they bellowed their orders at the same time.
The two armies were facing each other, and the momentum of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry’s charge was weakening, so if they ordered a retreat at this point, it would only lead to an avalanche of defeat.
Charge!
It was the only option!
And the only option to minimise casualties!
“Kill!”
The shouts of slaughter were so loud that they split the sky.
In the face of the ma*sive charge of the barbarian cavalry, everyone in the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was shaken.
But those who could enter the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry were the elite of the Four Directions Army, and their battlefield experience was incomparable to that of ordinary soldiers!
In a moment of shock, a decision was made in everyone’s mind.
There was no fear.
There was no retreat.
On the battlefield, it is always the brave who win in a narrow battle!
Rumble ……
The earth trembled and the roar was deafening.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided like two torrents of steel.
In an instant, men and horses were tossed and blood was spilled.
The sound of shouting, screaming and horse neighing ……
In an instant, it overwhelmed all other sounds on the battlefield.
If one were to look down from above.
One would have been able to see that the momentum of the two armies’ charge was worlds apart.
The long-stored rabble cavalry, like a sharp knife, remained a long way deeper the moment the two sides collided.
The momentum of the Great Snow Dragon’s cavalry, on the other hand, came to an abrupt halt shortly after the clash.
Immediately, the two sides were caught in a quagmire of fighting.
But in doing so, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry suffered more casualties than the Eboshi cavalry in a very short time!
“Ah!”
Boom!
Bai Qi’s face was stained with blood as he let out a hideous roar.
His arm muscles rose up and he held the Dragon Rider’s battle sword in his hand, like a python dragon across the sky, and he violently cut the two Yai cavalrymen in front of him into two.
Blood splattered all over him.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Qi had cleared out the barbarians around him.
His battle armour was soaked in blood, and drops of blood dripped down his body.
He raised a hand to wipe the hot blood from his face and his tiger eyes widened as he scanned the chaotic battlefield.
Even though he tried his best to contain it, his eyes still couldn’t hide his shock!
“It’s true …… it’s gotten stronger, and not just by a tiny bit!”
Bai Qi’s heart was beating wildly, looking at the oceanic battlefield, a sense of fear inexplicably arose.
This kind of feeling, he only once had when he first went to battle.
After really standing firm in the Great Snow Dragon Riders’ army and facing the barbarian hordes, he had not felt this way for a long, long time.
But this time, it was intense!
Not because of the bloody battlefield in front of him, but through the battlefield in front of him, a glimpse of the great battle to come!
The fight just now could not have been simpler for him.
It did not even take much effort.
But the force that came from his hands as he slashed again and again was stronger than ever before!
Not only was the strength of the cavalry of the barbarians alone, but even the stances were more elaborate than before.
One must know that in such a chaotic fight, the requirements for stances and body techniques are extremely harsh.
In the past, with his strength, when he faced the barbarians, it was like chopping and slicing once he was caught in this mire of killing and slashing.
But just now, in a simple fight, a Yai soldier was able to wander two moves under his Great Snow Dragon Rider’s sword!
Two moves is very few!
But that was compared to him!
He was the head guard of the Great Snow Dragon Rider Army ……!
Second in strength in the army!
What if it was against an ordinary soldier of the Great Snow Dragon Riders?
Everywhere Bai Qi looked, the misery was unbearable, and it was very different from any of the previous great battles.
The killing of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was no longer as smooth as it once had been.
Instead, they were killing each other with the barbarian cavalry, and even being picked off when they were outnumbered by one!
Meanwhile.
Zhenjiang City, the northern city wall.
Huo Zhenxiao had stood on the city head at some point.
Behind him, lined up in a row, all seven Golden Guards stood with their heads held high.
The cannon fire shone on all of them.
Huo Zhenxiao’s face was cold and stern as he looked down on the gruesome battlefield below and said in a deep voice.
“One by one, watch out, this …… is the enemy you will face in the future!”
The tone of his voice was cold, and carried an indescribable sense of oppression.
The seven golden guards had different faces.
One of the Golden Guards came out from the crowd and said, “Sovereign, this battle smacks of Bai Wu Chang and the two Golden Guards being overbearing, if they had stopped in time and relaunched their charge in full gear, they would not have been at such a disadvantage even against these barbarian cavalry, this is using their weakness to attack their strength!”
The Golden Guards behind him, no one made a sound, but their eyes and faces were clearly agreeing with him.
The battlefield was chaotic and the authorities were confused.
But they had climbed the wall early on and looked down on the battlefield, taking in the situation in their eyes.
“Heh! With the experience of past engagements, can you perform better than Bai Qi and the others?”
Huo Zhenxiao put his hands behind his back and sneered coldly.
The Golden Guards all revealed a look of embarra*sment.
In thousands of past encounters.
The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry had always been invincible and invincible.
Huo Zhenxiao’s words had directly poked at the sore spot of all of them.
If they thought about it differently, there was indeed a high probability that they would choose the same as Bai Qi and the others!
“So, we lost this battle?”
The Golden Guard who had crossed the crowd was a little hesitant, his face extremely ugly.
“We won’t lose, Bai Qi and the two Golden Guards will lead their brothers back.”
Huo Zhenxiao’s eyes narrowed into slits as a cold light raged, “But even if we win, with the battle loss ratio this time, it’s still a loss for our Great Snow Dragon Riding Army! The Queen of Xiongnu is using this battle to demonstrate to us and show how powerful their allied army of the Hundred Tribes is nowadays!”
“Thirty thousand allied troops made us suffer so much, the allied army of the rabble that will soon be waving their whips south is ten times more powerful than our Great Snow Dragon Cavalry …… ten times more!”
