I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

Chirag's face darkened, showing displeasure, but he didn't say much.

Although they had broken out of the siege, the roar of the Jurchen cavalry was already close at hand. Fortunately, there was still enough distance between the two armies for the horses to speed up and sprint.

Wu Minbo knew very well that if he turned around and retreated to the central army, he would be attacked from both sides, and the outcome would be even more tragic. Only by facing the enemy head-on would he have a chance of survival.

Time was of the essence. Wu Minbo pulled the reins hard, and his personal soldiers followed him to face the overwhelming Jurchen cavalry. Fang Yi led the Chiyu Battalion to follow, and the Northern Frontier Knights once again showed their sharp blades.

The generals on both sides of Youzhou were startled, and looking at the Northern Frontier Army that was charging again, they suddenly realized that the two generals under King Han no longer hesitated, and charged first to fight again!

On the Wangque Plain, thousands of horses galloped, their iron hooves roared, and the earth shook. The sound of horses' hooves gradually became orderly, and the cavalry formation of Beijiang and Youzhou stood up again!

The soldiers of the Great Zhou swear to use their flesh and blood to play a tragic song of war!

After the cavalry charge and the infantry formation, only 80,000 of the 100,000 Great Zhou cavalry were left. Facing the Jurchen army which was of equal number but well-rested and well-equipped, the soldiers from Northern Frontier and Youzhou were already exhausted from two battles.

In addition, most of the charging spears were damaged, and they could only rely on the swords at their waists to fight the enemy. The disadvantage of short weapons against long spears was obvious.

The yellow and black torrents were majestic and collided violently, and the sky and earth seemed to change color!

On the general's platform, Shangguan Yu stared blankly at the suddenly appearing Jurchen cavalry, his mind going blank.

Shangguan Muzhan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but tremble. Such a cruel battlefield made him terrified, and a thought flashed through his mind - he might die here today.

Shangguan Yu stared at the intertwined cavalry formations in the distance. The fighting power of Beijiang and Youzhou had been obviously damaged, and they fell into a passive position as soon as they clashed. If it weren't for the bravery of the commander and the fearlessness of the soldiers, the cavalry formation would have collapsed long ago.

"We lost. This battle was a great defeat."

Shangguan Yu whispered, "I can't die here!"

He quickly calculated in his mind: once the Northern Frontier and Youzhou cavalry were destroyed, these 80,000 infantry would be simply unable to withstand the impact of more than 100,000 cavalry, and evacuation would be imperative.

I just hope that the cavalry from Northern Frontier and Youzhou can hold on a little longer to buy time for myself to retreat.

Shangguan Yu has decided to sacrifice 100,000 cavalry in exchange for his own survival and that of the infantry.

However, how to get rid of the Jurchen cavalry patrolling everywhere?

Shangguan Yu had a flash of inspiration, and thought of Zhao Zhixun, and came up with a plan.

"Uncle, uncle, please find a solution quickly. I don't want to die here!"

Shangguan Muzhan shouted in a crying voice.

Shangguan Yu looked at this useless nephew, and was so angry that he slapped Shangguan Muzhan hard on the face and scolded him, "Waste! How can you have the backbone of the Shangguan family!"

Shangguan Muzhan fell to the ground and sobbed helplessly.

"Messenger!" Shangguan Yu called out sternly.

"exist!"

"Take my token and immediately inform General Zhao Zhixun that the Left Guard and Yangzhou Cavalry are to act immediately to disrupt the Jurchen formation. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed!"

"Yes, sir!" The messenger received the order and rushed away.

Zhao Zhixun's face was gloomy when he received the order. Shangguan Yu not only abandoned the 100,000 cavalrymen in Youzhou in the northern border, but now he even wanted to use his own 20,000 soldiers as bait!

It is called disturbing the enemy, but in fact it is driving a sheep into the tiger's mouth!

But Zhao Zhixun had no choice. He might survive if he fought to the death, but disobeying military orders on the battlefield would only lead to death!

Zhao Zhixun cursed inwardly: "We will slowly settle this account later!"

Then, under the cover of the crossbow battalion, 20,000 cavalrymen rushed out from the Great Zhou army like a storm, catching the Jurchens off guard, and the already fragile defense line was further cracked.

Ali Sanger stood at the outpost, sweating profusely and extremely anxious.

His heavy armored battalion had charged four or five times, but the city wall remained motionless. The sacrifice of thousands of cavalrymen made him tremble with pain.

If he had not noticed the glimmer of hope - the first row of barricades of the heavy armored battalion had been breached, he would have almost ordered to abandon.

At this moment, two teams of enemy cavalry rushed out. Ali Sangge's eyes flashed with ecstasy. This was simply a victory at his fingertips!

He immediately commanded the cavalry units wandering on both sides, aiming to annihilate the two enemy forces in one fell swoop and not allow them to escape, while he continued to fight the heavy armored battalion head-on.

Shangguan Yu looked at the slowly withdrawing Jurchen cavalry, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he shouted an order: "Sound the retreat! The army will immediately retreat to the Wangque camp!" After he finished speaking, he jumped off the general's platform and retreated calmly surrounded by his personal guards.

Shangguan Muzhan also staggered onto the horse's back and galloped closely behind.

"dong dong dong"

With the sound of gongs and drums, the Zhou army retreated in an orderly manner like a tide, preparing to leave the battlefield.

However, the heavy armored battalion seemed isolated and helpless under the enemy's continuous offensive. The heavy armor was both a shield and a shackle. Even if they fled the battlefield, they could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry on the open ground.

When Shangguan Yu decided to withdraw his troops, he had already abandoned the heavy armored battalion. Without anyone to cover his rear, it was not easy to retreat.

Veteran general Zhu Jingsheng watched the army leave, and a feeling of tragedy surged in his heart. He looked up to the sky and shouted: "I have fought in the battlefield all my life, but I never expected the end to be like this. That's it! Today I will sacrifice my life for my country and swear to protect the army's retreat."

"Men in heavy armor!" Zhu Jingsheng roared.

"Here!" The entire battalion responded with a deafening sound.

"Form a formation! Never retreat until death!"

"Don't retreat!"

The roars resounded through heaven and earth, moving everyone who heard them.

Seeing the Zhou army retreat, Ali Sangge was extremely anxious and personally led 10,000 cavalry to charge, with their iron hooves rushing towards the heavy armored camp like a torrent.

In the spring of the fifth year of Taining, the Youzhou Heavy Armored Camp, along with the 6,000 loyal souls including the main general Zhu Jingsheng, all died, without exception; on the Jurchen side, the number of deaths in the broken formation reached more than 17,000.

Everyone says that the Northern Frontier Cavalry is invincible in the world, but who knows the heroism of the Youzhou heavy armored cavalry who will never retreat even in death!

Chirag looked at the Zhou army infantrymen who were gradually moving away, and then looked at the Ali Sangge tribe who had suffered heavy casualties. His face was solemn: "Convey my order, all cavalrymen let go of the cavalrymen in Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou, and chase the infantry with all your strength. Make sure to annihilate all the Zhou army infantrymen!"

"As ordered!"

A general at the side hesitated and asked, "General, the cavalry from Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou are the enemy's elite and have long threatened our army. Now that we have finally gained the upper hand, how can we let them go so easily? Should we think twice before we act?"

Chirag looked grim.

"After this battle, the Northern Frontier and Youzhou cavalry were severely damaged and will not be able to face off against our female cavalry in the short term. There is no need to worry.

The Zhou army's infantry is almost intact. If we let them all return to Jiayuguan, we will pay a greater price in future sieges.

So, what is the significance of our victory?"

After hearing this, the generals suddenly understood.

Fang Yi was on the verge of life and death at this moment. His attacking spear had broken, and even his sword was about to be destroyed. He swore secretly in his heart.

"I'll find some superior weapons later, and I'll use them to fight and destroy these inferior swords."

But there was no time to think too much. His body was covered with wounds and blood was oozing out. Fortunately, they were all flesh wounds. Strategy was no longer necessary. The only thing he could do was to charge forward regardless of the consequences.
