"Woooo", the Kujit horn sound representing the retreat order, sounded over the Dongting main formation. The Dongting soldiers who were still fighting fiercely turned back to look at the main formation's defense line in confusion, with the same thought flashing in their eyes. Puzzled,

"What's going on? Have we failed?" This idea came to the minds of the soldiers who were fighting a life-and-death battle almost at the same time. Some troops who had withdrawn from the front to recuperate also showed some signs of panic. If they hadn't seen the stable main formation, they would have lost their battle. Even under the attack of the Rialu people, it remained as stable as a rock.

The bright moon and three stars representing the king's flag were still fluttering in the wind in the center of the main formation. These ordinary soldiers in the East Courtyard who had no idea what was going on had already fled in a swarm.

As for the Rialu people, the experienced Riago also discovered the instability of the Dongting army. After a fierce battle for an afternoon, the combat power of the Dongting army also made him feel very troublesome. Several offensives by the Rialu people were difficult. After being beaten back, countless scattered corpses formed a shocking black line at the location where the two armies were fighting.

These young people lying on the ground are the hope of the Rialu tribe and the basis for their war on the grassland. But now they are lying on the land here. There are only 80,000 Rialu tribe in total. Although the performance this time was fierce, dragging out about 30,000 troops at once,

But Riago knew very well that this was the bottom line of the strength of the Rialu tribe. Once defeated and losing these 30,000 young and middle-aged men, the Rialu tribe would only be left waiting to die. The old, weak, women and children, it is precisely because there is no way out that the warriors of the Rialu tribe behave extremely bravely.

On the one hand, it was because of that ruthless massacre, and more importantly, they were now completely forced to a dead end. The main force of Dongting was pressing down on the border. Tens of thousands of tribesmen had no way to retreat. They crossed this pasture and faced the brutal Dongting. Those on the cavalry and horse hooves are their relatives and children. The life and death of the tribe depends on this.

When Riago heard the horn blowing from the opposite side, his eyebrows that had been tightly knit together finally relaxed, and a smile finally appeared on his stern face.

"It seems that the commander of the Dongting people is still a rookie who has just entered the battlefield!" Riago finally hesitated. Previously, he was worried that the Dongting people would use the woods to arrange an ambush, so he did not dare to send all the troops to the battlefield. The troops pressed forward, leaving behind five thousand of the most valiant Changfeng Cavalry.

However, these trombone sounds that were obviously a failure, as well as the uneasy commotion in the East Courtyard, all proved that the opponent's commander made a fatal mistake and misjudged the shape of the battle. Although the people in the East Courtyard were Fighting with pressure, but not to the point of defeat and retreat.

For most prairie people, if they hear the main formation blowing the retreat horn during a fierce battle, it often means that the formation has been defeated and everyone is told to flee for their lives.

Brave but lack of discipline is a common problem of nomadic cavalry. The main combat method of these fast cavalry galloping on the prairie is to charge in groups, pounce on the target like a pack of wolves, and use bows and arrows in their hands and high mobility to attack suddenly. Cutting and encircling can sufficiently make up for the inherent deficiencies in weapons and equipment caused by the serious lack of iron in the grassland.

Especially in cavalry combat, once the queue is defeated by the opponent's cavalry group, the attack of the dense cavalry queue from the opposite side is enough to tear any target into pieces. It is foolish to resist with a weak force.

The grassland people are not war machines that are not afraid of death. They also bleed and are afraid of death. Although they are fighting for the tribe, it does not mean that they do not know how to escape. They lose the main cover of the scattered resistance. Will make yourself the target of being hunted and slaughtered by the other party,

"How can you miss such a good opportunity! This is the destiny you choose!" Riago licked his dry lips excitedly, pulled out his scimitar with a ferocious expression, and ordered the last five thousand reserve cavalry in the formation to go all out. "The whole army is pressing forward. I will defeat these Dongting people before it gets dark!"

"Papa"

The fierce battle between the two sides suddenly became intense. The surging Rialu cavalry hit the Dongting people's defense line like a tide. Nearly 60,000 cavalrymen crowded into this narrow forest of only more than 2,000 meters.

Crossing each other, killing each other, the corpses of men and horses were intertwined on the battle line,

Looking at the somewhat shaky defense line in front of her, Ruitang Tingna's eyes flashed with coldness and determination. She slowly pulled out a bright scimitar inlaid with red gems from her waist wearing a black armored glove.

Turning his head, he glanced at his rear with cold eyes. A group of black heavy armored cavalry was waiting for them, like a huge black beast entrenched behind the formation.

Because of the undulating terrain of the woods and the obstruction of the cavalry arrayed in front, it would be impossible to see the position of these black-armored cavalry without rushing through the woods.

These black-armored cavalry are obviously different from the previous black-armored archers in the East Courtyard. Their faces are covered with metal, and the black armor on their bodies is covered with densely packed fine rusty thorns. The heavy black armor is made of fine iron. Dark clouds hovering overhead seem to be able to absorb even light

The vests of their horses are also equipped with sharp thorns, and their weapons are different from the scimitars that were the main battle weapons of the Dongting cavalry in the past. Instead, they have lengthened four-meter knight's spears, which are in the weapon slots on their horses' crotches. , there are all kinds of thick long swords, knights' flails full of spikes, and even sharp short-handled battle axes, which are thick and heavy like a mobile killing machine.

If anyone familiar with it sees it, they will definitely be surprised. The equipment of these black armored cavalry is exactly the same as that of the Ruidian heavy cavalry.

That's right, they are Ruildian's main battle heavy cavalry. Although the Ruildian cavalry was completely defeated in the confrontation with the Falcon Dynasty, Fatty never thought that Ruildian's heavy cavalry was useless and could only be used as a single unit. In terms of close combat capabilities, Ruildian heavy cavalry is still the top unit among all arms.

Their excellent combat skills, strict discipline, and almost suppressive group advancement are enough to crush any frontal opponent. Even if they encounter one, they must use several times the force and use flanking dispersed attacks to defeat them. This kind of killing king was forged by the hundreds of years of experience of the Ruidian people and countless iron-blooded wars.

These heavy cavalry came from the Knights of the Guards who had been left behind by the Ridian royal family in Palavon. Due to the defeat in the Battle of Staros, Palavon surrendered without a fight under the pressure of the Falcon Dynasty's army, which also left this only remaining force. The knighthood has been completely preserved,

For this knightly order that he had obtained accidentally and still maintained its complete organization and weapons and equipment, Fatty showed it was extremely rare and directly transferred it to the name of the Central Army Headquarters.

This time, only one squadron was sent to Ruitang Tingna. This kind of precious combat power would be a pity if used in a large-scale battle. Therefore, Ruitang Tingna sent these thousand Rui Erdian heavy cavalry with outstanding combat power. As his last trump card,

The battle lasted for nearly half a day, and the two sides fought from noon to evening. What's more, the Rialu people came all the way. They were waiting for work. No matter how brave the soldiers were, they were still fleshy. It would be difficult to withstand the charge of the heavy cavalry when they were tired.

"Everything depends on this battle!" Ruitang Tingna raised her pretty and fair face, looked at the sky with bright eyes, silently prayed to the Changsheng Heaven, then raised the scimitar in her hand,

"Attack! Tear them apart!"

The female voice with a bit of shrillness sounded strange at the moment, but the rumbling sound that followed was enough to cover up all the accidents. The ground shook violently under the feet, and suddenly the front of the main formation in the East Courtyard suddenly Move away from both sides of the array like a gate,

At the moment when the Rialu cavalry who were fighting fiercely were stunned, the hoofs of their horses rumbled beside their ears, and the neat black-armored heavy cavalry formation, as heavy as a towering mountain, came quickly from the front!

"Heavy cavalry!" The face of the Riallu cavalry immediately turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost. The panic-filled shouts stopped abruptly as soon as he shouted. The neat and straight knights' spears mercilessly attacked the Rialu cavalry from the front. The body was thrust into the body, and the powerful impact directly caused the cavalry to be lifted off the horse.

"Glory is my life!"

The black array that came like a steel pierced wall suddenly erupted into a deafening roar. A thousand heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor lined up in a queue of 50 people. A total of twenty queues were like a huge arrow. In this way, they met the Rialu cavalry head-on.

"Crack!" The broken weapons flew into the sky. The heavy armor of the heavy cavalry completely made it impossible for the Rialu cavalry to use their scimitars. The ground shook violently under their feet. It was only the lightly-armed Rialu cavalry who even made the first startling sound. Before he even had time to shout, he was blown away by the huge impact and fell under the iron hooves of the back row.

Second row, third row...

The neatly arranged Ruidian heavy cavalry, row after row, swept past like an unstoppable torrent of steel. The Rialu cavalry blocking the front was crushed like mud.

"Kill!" The sky-shaking roar of the heavy cavalry was drowned out by the screams of the entire Rialu cavalry who fell to the ground. Under the terrifying offensive of the heavy cavalry, a Rialu cavalry team located in the direction of the heavy cavalry attack, because it was the closest, , was the first to be defeated,

Seeing the comrades in front of them scattering like an avalanche in front of this black craze, the cavalry behind also looked panicked. Although they had not yet engaged in battle, the terrifying momentum of the heavy cavalry opposite made them feel ferocious even from dozens of meters away.

This Ruidian heavy cavalry, who came from the royal family, is itself an elite force that has experienced hundreds of battles. Every member is a veteran with skilled combat skills. Now they all charge with the awareness of death!

"I've been fooled!" Riago, who was paying attention to the changes in the battle situation, turned pale at this moment and clenched his fists together. The heavy cavalry was the natural enemy of the light cavalry. At such a close distance, he was faced by a heavy cavalry armed to the teeth. If it collides with a serious gun formation, all resistance will be in vain. Not only will the little advantage just gained be lost, but there is also the danger of being penetrated from the front.

Although the warriors of my tribe performed very bravely, the opponent's heavy cavalry was too sharp, and the timing of the attack was also very good. It was just when my troops were exhausted from the fierce battle.

Facing this heavy cavalry that was rushing towards the back of the military formation, the Riyaru cavalry that was blocking them were like two waves colliding head-on, causing countless splashing waves.

That was the sparks thrown by the swords and guns of the cavalry on both sides! The Rialu cavalry were very brave, but the weapons in their hands clanged against the armor of the heavy cavalry, which was of no avail at all.

On the contrary, after the initial impact, the heavy cavalry used heavy weapons for close combat. With every heavy slash, a Rialu cavalry screamed and fell off the horse!

"Kill, kill!"

The 5,000 Dongting cavalry in the central formation rushed forward like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves! Whether they were men or horses, they fell to the ground one after another under the weight of this torrent of black iron armor. Swords slashed, horses trampled, and heads rolled, the Rialu cavalry were like the rice waves struck by the typhoon. Even those who could escape by chance would be trampled to pieces by the ensuing iron hoofs.

"Order all the Changfeng Cavalry to return immediately for reinforcements. No matter what, the middle must resist!"

Riago looked at the rapidly collapsing situation in front of him and shouted with gritted teeth. The attack of the opponent's heavy cavalry almost disrupted his entire center line. It was like a sharp blade, piercing in hard and violently inside. It stirred up, and under the powerful assault of the heavy cavalry, the Rialu light cavalry in the center were knocked down in pieces.

"Woo!" The emergency war cry sounded in the direction of the Rialu people this time. In this situation, only the Changfeng cavalry that can threaten the heavy infantry can withstand the impact of the opponent's heavy cavalry! But in the chaotic fierce battle, temporarily withdrawing thousands of Changfeng Cavalry will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble

"Kill, move forward! No retreat!" This is the cry of the melee cavalry.

"Return to the rescue, return to the rescue immediately!"

This is the cry of the Changfeng Cavalry, but there are too many of them in front of them. The cavalry is large in size, and it is a chaotic battle in a cluster, with multiple units mixed together.

The soldiers and horses were crowded, you were blocking me, and I was blocking you. It was impossible to move quickly. A series of orders were issued from above, but the messengers below could not even find the target. The chaos of the troops greatly delayed the return of the Changfeng Cavalry. Speed, wait until the Changfeng Cavalry gathers enough strength and numbers to contain the heavy cavalry,

The turmoil in the center has already begun, causing the two wings to begin to fluctuate. Under the banner of the Ruidian people, the momentum of the heavy cavalry is like a violent surge. The queue of a thousand people, but the central array of tens of thousands of Rialu tribe has been swept from the middle. The Rialu people who were in the direction of the heavy cavalry attack were so frightened by this all-destroying advance tactic that they dispersed.

The cavalry dispersed invisibly, once again blocking the thousands of Changfeng javelin cavalry who came back from both wings.

"Disperse, disperse quickly!" Changfeng Cavalry shouted anxiously. Two crowds of people gathered from opposite directions collided, and the queue became a mess. The queue in front was shouting in horror, "Let us go." !" Behind them, they shouted, "Come on, come on! Let us pass!" The chaos was like the ripples caused by the pebbles thrown into the water, expanding round and round.

At the last moment, Riago could only order his guards to rush in from the rear with a smaller number of people. These elite cavalry wearing mails tenaciously blocked the oncoming black heavy cavalry in an attempt to provide reinforcements for the Changfeng Cavalry. They were trying to buy time, but the scimitars they waved clanked against the double-layered chainmail and steel helmets of the Ruidian heavy cavalry, and slashed against the heavy breastplates.

Their desperate fighting had almost minimal impact on Ruierdian's heavy cavalry. Instead, they retreated steadily under the thundering pressure of the heavy cavalry. One after another, they were pierced by the heavy spears in the hands of the heavy cavalry, chopped into dust by the sabers, and trampled to pulp by the horses' hooves. The 500-man guard could only delay the opponent's advance towards the formation.

"Counterattack, we have penetrated them!" The chaos of the Rialu people greatly inspired the Dongting cavalry who were fighting fiercely on both sides. Their tired bodies seemed to regain their strength.

"Everyone, come on, the Riyalu people can't stop it!" Various shouts came and went from the Dongting people.

"Dong dong dong!"

The sound of war drums representing King Khan also came fiercely from the main formation. The main formation in the middle began to move forward. The main cavalry constituting the main formation followed the direction, holding their scimitars high, shouting to kill and pounce on the approaching cavalry. The enemy was on the verge of collapse, and the dispersed Rialu cavalry scattered in panic to escape for their lives.

The few troops at the back who were still gathering the defeated Rialu tribe looked at their companions who were beaten so embarrassingly, and then were overwhelmed by the defeated troops rushing past them like a tide. The inexplicable panic and fear suddenly spread to them. Come on, the whole army suddenly disperses,

Countless squadrons were defeated one by one, and the whole situation was like a wolf rushing like a rabbit. Large groups of scattered Rialu cavalry fled in panic, unable to distinguish between east, west, north and south.

"Run for your life!"

At this moment, the Riyalu people, who were as fierce as wolves just now, have completely lost their will to fight. They let the Dongting cavalry chase them from behind and did not dare to turn around to fight. They were as docile as sheep being driven by a shepherd.

"Shoot them to death!" The Dongting cavalrymen took out their compound bows one after another, and threw arrow clusters like raindrops. Large areas of the Rialu people were killed with bows and arrows by the Dongting people who were chasing from behind.

Seeing this, the others did not dare to stay and ran faster. In order to seek safe shelter, they specifically chose places with a large number of their own families to run. With the same intention, the deserters suddenly formed a torrent and rushed toward The own team at the back! The cavalry took advantage of the chaos to join the torrent of deserters, no matter how the cavalry captains scolded and threatened them. Some captains even hacked and killed their own men to prevent the collapse, but to no avail. The tens of thousands of defeated troops overwhelmed them all at once, and even they themselves couldn't help but fall into the flow of fleeing people.

"It's over, the Rialu tribe is over"

Riago looked at the collapsing battle front in front of him with a pale face, and the riding crop he held tightly in his hand fell weakly to the ground.
