"prick!"
With Chagan Wuli's order, the rebels' charge suffered a heavy blow at this moment, and many cavalrymen lost their balance and fell to the ground. The neighing of horses and the screams of knights intertwined to form a tragic symphony.
This scene before their eyes gave the desperate northern barbarian soldiers a glimmer of hope. Those soldiers who had been lost in the chaos had a faint flame in their hearts, as if they saw the hope of survival.
It is not terrible to let a person see hope, but it is truly terrible to let a person in despair see hope, because you never know what kind of energy this person in despair will burst out and what kind of things he will do in order to get that glimmer of hope.
And right now, this group of northern barbarian soldiers is just like that.
Even if they were not fighting for the Northern Barbarians, just to save their lives, they had no choice but to resist.
At this moment, the desire for life has dispelled the fear in their hearts, turning into endless ferocious roars and rising up in resistance.
"Good job, keep going!"
Chagan Wuli was also excited, and continued to shout desperately: "Don't forget, everyone, we are the eagles of the grassland. When it comes to cavalry, have we, the northern barbarians, ever been more afraid of these Han people from the Central Plains?"
"Warriors of the grassland!"
He shouted loudly, his voice penetrating the chaos, with unparalleled determination, "We are the iron cavalry of the Northern Barbarians, the heroes of the grasslands, and the glory of the Northern Barbarians will be reborn in you!"
His voice was like a war drum, stirring the entire camp and arousing the blood and anger in the hearts of the northern barbarian soldiers. They were elite soldiers on the grassland, well-trained, but they were confused by this series of blows. But after a brief panic, they immediately calmed down.
Now that Chagan Uli had said this, he gradually regained his fighting spirit and began to wield the weapons in his hands, launching a fierce counterattack against the rebels who had lost their balance.
For a moment, due to the addition of spearmen and archers, the originally unstoppable rebel cavalry actually slowed down at this moment.
The charge of the rebel cavalry was forced to slow down, and the knights, who had been surging like a tide, began to fall into chaos under the counterattack of the northern barbarian soldiers.
Spears stabbed at horses' hooves, arrows rained down, and the rebel cavalry's formation began to disintegrate.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the first knight's horse was pierced by a spear. The horse roared in pain and fell down, and the knight fell with him, and the dust flew. The cavalry behind him had no time to react and were tripped one after another, forming a mess.
Then, the spearmen took the opportunity to rush forward, waving their weapons and stabbing at the fallen knights. Blood splattered everywhere and screams rang out one after another.
"Don't be greedy for killing, charge forward! Speed up! Just charge forward!" Seeing this, the leader of the rebel army was extremely anxious and shouted anxiously in front. His voice was drowned out by the chaotic battlefield, and the fear of the soldiers surged like a tide, making them look extremely vulnerable.
However, by this time, it was already too late.
The Northern Barbarian army has already reacted and realized that the road ahead has been heavily surrounded. They have no way of leaving these Northern Barbarian soldiers behind, and the situation has become extremely dangerous.
"Everyone, follow me. Everyone, turn into a sharp knife and rush out!" The rebel general reined in his warhorse, looking around with a sharp gaze, looking for a way to survive.
He knew in his heart that if they could not break out of the Northern Barbarian Camp, they would be completely trapped here. He held the reins tightly, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
"Charge!" He roared and rushed towards the weakest point. The knights of the rebel army followed him desperately. Although they were filled with fear, they still chose to move forward under the encouragement of their general.
……
At the same time, Li Zhongwu in Miyun Dam was closely watching the situation on the battlefield.
The sounds of battle carried through the distant air, along with the clatter of horses’ hooves, the clash of swords, and the shouts of soldiers, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere.
"General, the situation down there seems to be getting dangerous. Should we..." The deputy general at the side looked at the situation with great worry.
Li Zhongwu did not respond immediately, but stared at the situation on the battlefield with a serious expression. As the charge of the rebel cavalry gradually slowed down, he began to feel uneasy.
"Is it still impossible after all?" He asked himself over and over again in his heart.
Although he did not personally lead the charge into the Northern Barbarian camp this time, those elite cavalrymen were all trained by him. They were the best in the rebel army in terms of both physique and equipment.
However, faced with the tenacious resistance of the Northern Barbarians' cavalry, they were unable to completely penetrate the Northern Barbarians' camp in one go, even after they had defeated the Northern Barbarians' soldiers' will to fight.
During a cavalry charge, each man had only one chance to attack each enemy, and it was obvious that they failed to seize this opportunity.
One can imagine how fierce the Northern Barbarian cavalry they faced were.
Along the way, thanks to your highness's strategy and the rebels' bravery and fearlessness, they hardly suffered any defeats and had a smooth journey.
However, they were not facing some small fry, but the most elite Northern Barbarian Cavalry.
The Northern Barbarians are still the Northern Barbarians.
After all, this title did not come naturally, but was earned by the Northern Barbarians through repeated iron-blooded charges.
Since they are most familiar with the cavalry charge, they naturally know how to restrain it. It makes sense to think this way.
"General, how do you think we should deal with this?" Seeing Li Zhongwu's silence, the deputy general became even more anxious and couldn't help asking.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Li Zhongwu finally spoke, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Miyun Dam is of utmost importance. Although Chagan Uli doesn't seem to have any intention of taking back the dam, we can't take it lightly."
He looked at the deputy general and said solemnly: "You lead the people to defend here. No matter what happens, this place must not be lost. I will go down and meet the Northern Barbarian Hero."
His gaze was fixed on Chagan Wuli, with a raging fighting spirit in his eyes.
"General, are you going down in person?" The deputy general was shocked. He admired Li Zhongwu's courage, but at the same time he felt a little uneasy. "This is too dangerous!"
"So what? I have always been the first one to lead the charge."
Li Zhongwu smiled slightly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "This time, it's the same!"
Seeing Li Zhongwu's determination, the deputy general couldn't help but feel a little bit of fighting spirit in his heart, and nodded: "Yes, I understand!"
……
At this moment, the battle in the Northern Barbarian Camp had already entered a white-hot state. The situation in the camp was no longer as tense as before. Everyone calmed down and began to organize an effective counterattack. Morale gradually recovered after a short trough, and the rhythm of the battle began to tilt in their favor.
Seeing this, the elite cavalry of the rebel army prepared to break out from the camp.
This scene was also seen by Chagan Wuli, but how could he let this group of people get what they wanted?
"The rebels are trying to escape, everyone head in that direction and shoot!" he shouted loudly, his voice like thunder, shaking the air around him.
"They killed so many of our brothers, how can we let them escape so easily?" Chagan Wuli's roar was like a battle horn, awakening the fighting spirit buried in the hearts of the northern barbarians. The soldiers quickly adjusted their formations, and the archers tightened their bowstrings and prepared to fire.
"Shoot!" Chagan Uli gave an order, the bowstring vibrated, and arrows poured down like raindrops, piercing the sky with sharp and strange whistling sounds, like a violent storm, covering the sky and the earth, as if to drown the rebel cavalry.
The rain of arrows was like a curtain, tearing through the endless airflow. The rain of arrows poured down like a storm, and the rebel cavalry had almost nowhere to hide.
Under the rain of arrows, even the fastest cavalryman would be shot into a hedgehog.
Chagan Uli was full of confidence and believed that this rain of arrows could defeat the rebels' elite cavalry in one fell swoop. However, something shocking happened to him.
The next moment, when the seemingly dense and sharp arrows shot at the rebels, they made a sound of metal clashing, and then were bounced off. It was impossible to break through their defense at all.
How can it be?
Chagan Wuli looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, feeling uneasy. The scenario he had imagined did not happen at all, which was totally unreasonable.
He suddenly remembered the news from Tan Tai Ao that the Yanyi Army had a set of armor with great defensive power. Although he later obtained one or two of them, he could not make a copy of it no matter what he asked his blacksmiths to make it.
"This is impossible! I originally thought that even Lin Zhongyun could not equip all of this set of armor, but now it seems that I was wrong!" Chagan Wuli's heart was in a panic, with anger and disbelief intertwined.
When the Northern Barbarians saw this scene, their hearts, which had been calm, suddenly rose to their throats. The soldiers looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubts and uneasiness, and many of them even looked bleak, and had already begun to retreat and prepare to escape secretly.
"How can we resist such a brave cavalry that is impervious to arrows?"
"What kind of monsters are these people? Even a rain of arrows can't stop them. If they charge again, we will definitely die."
The soldiers pondered in their hearts, and the feeling of fear spread like wildfire.
At this moment, the entire Northern Barbarian Army was in an uproar. Fear and anxiety were revealed in the soldiers' eyes, and their original confidence was completely shattered at this moment.
Chagan Uli looked at everything in front of him, his anger burning in his heart, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew in his heart that if he could not turn the tide of the war in time and allowed fear to spread throughout the army, the Northern Barbarians would never have a chance to turn things around.
The soldiers' hesitation had begun to show, many of them looked terrified, and some even began to retreat quietly, trying to find a way to survive.
"Go away!"
He knew that he could not hesitate any longer, so he shouted at the people around him, jumped on his horse, and shouted angrily: "Everyone get on the horse, we must not let the rebels leave like this."
His voice echoed throughout the camp, shaking the hearts of every soldier. Chagan Uli's roar was filled with immense majesty, as if to sweep away all fear and anxiety.
"It's time to let these rebels see how powerful our Northern Barbarian Cavalry is, and let them know what a cavalry charge is!"
He knew that he had to launch a swift and decisive charge to break the Rebel defenses and regain control of the battle.
"Line up!" He commanded the soldiers to quickly adjust the formation. Under his command, the Northern Barbarian Cavalry re-grouped into a powerful force.
Chagan Wuli's heart was ablaze with fighting spirit, as if a fire was burning in his blood. He gripped the reins tightly, feeling the power of the horse, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must completely defeat this group of rebels.
Under his call, the northern barbarian soldiers gradually regained their confidence, mounted their horses, and grasped their weapons tightly. Chagan Wuli's eyes were like a hawk, scanning the surroundings, secretly calculating his next move in his mind.
After all, they were well-trained, and at this moment, the glory in their hearts overcame the fear in their hearts.
"Prepare to charge!" Chagan Uli's voice was like a war roar, resounding over the sky above the Northern Barbarian Army.
Following his order, the Northern Barbarian Cavalry all let out a low roar, as if responding to the general's call.
The roar of tens of thousands of people was like thunder, shaking the entire battlefield and making the rebel soldiers feel a chill involuntarily.
The air was filled with tension, as if even time had stopped at this moment.
At this moment, it seemed that the previously invincible Northern Barbarian Cavalry had returned once again, as if victory was just around the corner.
Chagan Wuli's heart was burning with great fighting spirit. His eyes were filled with an extremely cold blood color and his facial features were distorted by extreme anger, as if he wanted to transform all his hatred and unwillingness into the power for this charge.
"Charge!" His roar was like a war drum, once again inspiring the soldiers' fighting spirit.
Following this order, thousands of troops charged forward in unison. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers, as if tearing the air and shaking the entire battlefield.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen rushed out like a tide. The sound of horses’ hooves was incessant, as if stepping on people’s hearts, shocking them.
The earth trembled slightly under their impact, and dust flew, as if even the heaven and earth were moved.
Chagan Wuli stood on his warhorse, his eyes fixed on the rebels' positions. His heart was burning with fearless fighting spirit, and he felt as if he had returned to the time when he was waving at the sky.
He gripped the reins tightly, feeling the horse's strength, and roared: "Let them know that the reputation of the Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry is not empty talk!"
At this moment, the Northern Barbarian Cavalry roared like wild beasts and rushed towards the rebel lines, as if they wanted to tear apart everything that stood in their way.
At the moment of the charge, the rebels' positions gradually became clear in Chagan Wuli's eyes. The cavalry that once frightened him now seemed small and fragile in the face of this powerful impact.
The entire battlefield seemed to be changed by the force of this charge. The soldiers of the rebel army were terrified and began to panic, as if the dawn of victory was beckoning to them... (End of this chapter)
