Chapter 134 The Queen Falls into the Trap (Part )
In the wilderness, the water of Gaoliang River trembled violently, and the goose-warm stones and pebbles on the riverbed also swayed gently, as if the entire earth had become a big drum, and the thousands of troops on it were the drumsticks that constantly struck the drum.

The battle became intense almost instantly. The Hebei army was deployed in a wide spread out formation. Because the terrain was open, they set up the偃月阵, which was an arc-shaped formation shaped like a crescent moon and was capable of both offense and defense.

The central army of the Hebei Army was located at the bottom of the crescent. It looked very weak, giving the illusion that it could be broken through with a single charge.

But Li Cunxu was a veteran general, how could he make such a low-level mistake? The Human Army was blocked by layers of heavy-armored infantry, which generally gathered the strongest combat power of the entire army. It seemed weak, but if they really charged into the battle formation, as long as they were slightly trapped, the "Moon Wheels" on both wings would immediately surround them and swallow them up without leaving any residue.

As he was on the hillside, he could see at a glance that the right wing of the Hebei Army was in chaos, so he made a prompt decision and led his troops straight in.

As soon as he entered the battle, he led the Yaer Army and the Flying Tiger Army, speeding up their horses to charge left and right, easily killing the cavalrymen who came to fight on the right wing of the Hebei Army. Then he charged back to kill these defeated Hebei cavalrymen, forcing them to tear apart the infantry formation on their right wing.

It is strange to say, Li Cunxu had heard of the fierce and ferocious reputation of Ding Badu of Youzhou. Although his cavalry was not as good as the Yaer Army, they should be very brave, but they were not able to withstand charges.

But he didn't need to think too much this time. His goal was clear. He didn't care about the Hebei Army's infantry at all. He just chased and killed those Hebei cavalrymen, making them entangled in the infantry formation. When the right wing of the Hebei Army was in chaos, he led the Yaer Army behind him to turn left in a strange arc, and went deep into the Hebei Army, forcing the enemy's flag.

He had the confidence. The Hebei Army was unstable, and he led the most powerful cavalry in the world. He dared to break through the "Xiao" banner with one blow. By then, the Hebei Army would definitely be greatly weakened.

"puff!"

Suddenly, a trickle of hot blood splashed onto Li Cunxu's face. His pupils shrank slightly, and he saw that a heavily armored cavalryman of the Flying Tiger Army who was rushing in front of him and clearing the way for him was suddenly thrown off his horse. An arrow had pierced his throat accurately, and the arrowhead wrapped in flesh and blood even brushed past his body, which was extremely dangerous.

"Puff puff……"

The next moment, several more arrows flew through the air, and all of them hit their throats, instantly taking the lives of three Flying Tiger cavalrymen.

At the side, Mirror Heart Demon let out a sharp cry and used a sword to deflect an arrow that was shot at Li Cunxu's face.

"Prince, be careful of hidden arrows!"

But immediately, Mirror Heart Demon kept silent and his expression became serious.

Ahead, the sound of horse hooves continued, and countless heavily armored cavalry broke through the dust and swept in from the Hebei infantry formation. The dust spread along the way, like a fuse chasing a target, rushing straight towards them.

These men were strong and muscular, wearing heavy armor, and their horses were also armored. They were almost like iron men.

Obviously, this is the real Dingbadu cavalry!
The first one was wearing full body armor, but it was not heavy armor, just a chain mail armor. Shenjun's mount was also not wearing armor, as if he was not afraid that anyone could hurt him.

But he was no more dashing than Li Cunxu, because he also wore a helmet and a bronze mask on his face, with a red tassel on the top of the helmet fluttering, his whole body flashing with cold light, and he looked murderous.

At this moment, he put away an extremely exaggerated giant bow and hung it next to the saddle.

That guy, he used a foot bow as a cavalry bow?
Jing Xinmo's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately guessed who this person was.

Now, after the knight put away his bow, someone beside him actually carried a 18-foot-long lance for him. When he put away his bow and raised the lance, he squeezed the horse's belly hard. Because his mount was not wearing armor, it jogged a little and then the horse's speed immediately increased.

The Mirror Heart Demon was stunned and said anxiously, "Prince!"

"Go away!"

Li Cunxu was full of fighting spirit and immediately pointed his spear forward, "Shoot this man to death."

The two thousand cavalrymen who rushed in were like sharp blades, which had already torn through the formation of the Hebei army's right wing. Immediately, hundreds of Yaer soldiers who were protecting them drew their bows and arrows and shot out a flurry of arrows.

But everyone was stunned in an instant. The arrows were clearly shot at the knight, but after flying, they strangely deviated to both sides in front of him. There seemed to be an air flow that formed an inverted triangle and attracted these arrows, turning to both sides.

At the same time, the knight was approaching. He was extremely indifferent, leaning forward, holding the exaggerated lance level with one hand, and the hooves of his horse were flying rapidly and alternately, splashing the mud, just like a sharp arrow, shooting straight at Li Cunxu.

"Bah!"

The several heavily-armored Flying Tiger soldiers blocking the front were not afraid. They shouted loudly and resisted with their lances.

"puff."

The horse lance easily penetrated the two layers of armor of the Flying Tiger soldier who was rushing in the front, then pierced through his waist and abdomen, and instantly came out from his back, leaving a trail of blood.

The knight passed by and grabbed the bloody lance with his backhand, pulling it out suddenly. He swept the lance left and right, knocking the cavalryman on the left down with great force, while the cavalryman on the right leaned back, half of his heavily armored body pressed against the horse's back, barely avoiding the sweep.

But the lance suddenly stopped, as if it had no inertia at all and just stopped there.

"Don't, don't..."

The cavalryman was originally a brave man, but his face turned pale at this moment. His mind automatically predicted what would happen next, and he subconsciously held the spear in front of his chest with both hands.

But no one paid any attention to him, and the lance fell down under the force of gravity in the sight of countless people.

The cavalrymen immediately started to bleed from their mouths, their spears shattered, and the horses they were riding let out miserable neighs, their four hooves went limp, and they collapsed with a loud bang. The horse's waist was almost broken, and both the man and the horse were dead.

And all this happened just in a flash, just in a moment of passing by.

The three riders were killed instantly, which shocked all the Crow soldiers who noticed this place.

The Flying Tiger Army was originally composed of heavily armored cavalry, and each of them was a brave warrior from the Shatuo tribe. According to what people in the martial arts world said, they had at least the strength of a minor star. How could they be so weak?
Behind them, Ding Badu's heavily armored cavalry came rumbling, and a general shouted loudly upon seeing this.

"Why would we be needed if Xiao's army were to be attacked?

"Generals, if you don't fight to the death now, when will you fight?!"

The morale of the Hebei Army's infantry, which had been torn apart on all sides, suddenly boosted. Under the loud shouts of the commanders of various units, they re-formed their formations, as if they wanted to encircle the Yaer Army and the Flying Tiger Army that were trapped in the enemy's formation.

"Is this person Xiao Yan?"

Li Cunxu held the horse whip and shouted to his left and right: "Everyone, is there anyone who can kill this official for me?"

However, there was no need for him to give orders. Seeing Xiao Yan suddenly approaching, the Flying Tiger Army in front immediately raised their horses and rushed forward.

Almost at the same time, the heavy armored cavalry of the two sides suddenly collided with each other. In a few breaths, cold light flashed, and weapons were constantly swinging in the gaps. For a moment, the heavy sound of metal collision and the screams of people before death suddenly resounded throughout the right wing crowd.

Looking at Xiao Yan again, he was swinging the lance in his hand wildly. The two layers of heavy armor of the Flying Tiger Army seemed nothing in his eyes. As he rushed forward rapidly, figures kept falling around him. They were all cavalrymen of the Flying Tiger Army who tried to stop him.

"Good! Good!"

Li Cunxu praised loudly, and no one knew who he was praising. Then he pointed his spear forward and said, "If we kill these officials, the troops in Hebei will surely be defeated! Anyone who retreats will be killed!"

Behind him, a group of Crow soldiers came out in response, as if they were going to surround and kill Xiao Yan.

But the Dingbadu heavy cavalry that rushed over suddenly could not let them do what they wanted. They dropped their guns, drew their sabers, and knocked over the Yaer army that was in the front. You must know that the Yaer army was only light cavalry, and how could they have the advantage of heavy cavalry in close combat? For a while, they were stuck and could not move forward at all.

Li Cunxu narrowed his eyes. The Dingba army did not have many heavy cavalry, perhaps only about 400, but they were very good at fighting. With Xiao Yan personally taking part in the battle, they were able to fight the Flying Tigers to a draw.

He immediately realized that Xiao Yan was trying to lure the enemy with himself!
"Humph."

Li Cunxu looked back and saw that the various Yaer armies were still tearing apart and dividing the Hebei army's infantry, but the effect was obviously not as good as before. Many infantrymen had recovered, and the defeated soldiers were also neatly beheaded by the Hebei supervision team, and then gathered towards him under loud shouts.

Can we kill Xiao Yan before we get stuck in the quagmire?

While Li Cunxu was thinking about it, his reins were suddenly caught by the Mirror Heart Demon beside him.

"Prince, the situation is not good!"

Seeing Xiao Yan approaching like a killing god, the Mirror Heart Demon was so frightened that his eyelids were twitching.

Of course, he did not dare to let Li Cunxu die here, so he urged: "This guy is extremely brave and powerful. No one in our army can take him down in a short time. Now the momentum of the Yaer Army has been blocked, and the right wing of the Hebei Army is in chaos. Why not avoid the front for a while?"

Li Cunxu was not a man of hesitation. He snorted coldly and ordered the troops to take turns to cover each other, fighting and retreating, and break out. In fact, the right wing of the Hebei Army was not only in chaos, but also rotten. After being penetrated by the Yaer Army and the Flying Tiger Army, the front was almost suppressed by the Yicong Army infantry of the Jin State. If Xiao Yan had not left the field in time, the entire line might have collapsed.

The situation of the Jin army is still good.

Li Cunxu led his troops to charge left and right and soon escaped.

Although his goal was not achieved, he almost killed his way through the right wing. The Hebei Army's偃月 formation was in disarray, the right wing fell behind, and the center army bulged out.

At this moment, Li Cunxiao's huge figure was charging in the crowd, followed by Tatar and Uighur cavalrymen, and almost no one could stop him. Li Cunzhong stood on his shoulder and was directing Li Cunxiao to take advantage of this gap to break through the right side of the Hebei Central Army and then go around to threaten the right and left wings of the Hebei Army.

By then, there is a great possibility that the Hebei Army will be unable to fight and will collapse across the board.

Li Cunxu naturally also saw this scene and was overjoyed.

The Hebei army was indeed weak. Apart from the heavily armored cavalry led by Xiao Yan, there was almost no threat. Ding Badu might be very powerful, but he quickly moved eastward and forced Xiao Yan to fight in the field. Ding Badu came from afar and might not have used even 50% of his combat power.

He keenly grasped the opportunity and ordered loudly: "Abandon Xiao Yan and go straight to the left wing of the Hebei Army. Tell him not to hinder Lao Shi!"

Although they had been fighting for half an hour, the Crow Army and the remaining Flying Tiger Army were still able to fight, so they responded to the order and rode out on horseback.

Just at this moment, on the battlefield where dust and smoke were rising and flags were waving, a thick purple fog suddenly emerged and covered the entire area in an instant.

Looking at that direction, it was where Li Cunxiao kept breaking in.

"What is that!?" Li Cunxu couldn't help but squint his eyes and asked the knowledgeable Mirror Heart Demon.

"This..." Mirror Heart Demon was also stunned.

What could emit such a huge purple mist?

At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the front.

"People from Mobei?!"

Li Cunxu looked in the direction of the sound and saw several Hebei infantrymen being chopped down. After the bodies fell, their helmets fell off their heads, revealing their shaved heads. However, the pigtails that these Mobei people usually wore were tied together like those of the Han people. If the helmets had not fallen off, one would not be able to tell without careful observation of their faces.

He was suddenly startled and looked around.

The entire battlefield was in chaos. The Jin army pressed forward on all fronts. Although they fought smoothly, they were still in a tough battle. The cavalry of the Yicong army kept advancing, and their shadows could no longer be seen. One could only see the dust floating in the air to identify their position.

cavalry……

Why are there so few cavalrymen in the Hebei Army?
Li Cunxu's expression changed slightly, and a bad premonition suddenly rose up...

------

Youzhou.

Jin army camp.

The dead bodies lay in the trenches, blood gushing out, almost forming a "river protecting the camp". The wall of the camp was also broken, as if it had been smashed by something heavy. Going further in, there were more dead bodies. At a glance, they were all the bodies of the Tanguts from the five tribes of Yinshan and the soldiers of the Jin army.

The camp was littered with human corpses, and there were some ownerless horses running around in the camp. Even more, there were "Mobei people" wearing dog-skin hats, riding their horses and killing people as they charged in.

Deep in the camp, Guo Chongtao, who was over 40 years old, had a sad face, held the sword to his neck and closed his eyes.

"I, old man, am ashamed of the trust placed in me by the prince..."

On both sides, several bodyguards rushed forward, some hugged the waist, some grabbed the sword.

An officer came over with a horse in a panic, and urged: "General Guo, if you die, can everyone return to Hedong alive?! The people of Hebei are cunning, and they are colluding with Mobei. Damn it, the prince is facing the Mobei army!"

"We are facing the real Hebei Army Ding Badu! Damn it, if they are really Mobei people, how could they attack the camp so quickly?"

But before he could finish, the sounds of fighting in the camp were getting closer and closer, and the sound of horse hooves kept coming towards this side, causing everyone's face to change drastically.

The officer then said no more nonsense, pushed Guo Chongtao onto his horse, and fled westward with the remaining several hundred men.

Whether the prince lives or dies, it's up to fate...

……

Gaoliang River.

The battle had become stalemate. Looking down from the sky, the entire battlefield was filled with dust and fog that could not be dispelled.

After Li Cunxu reacted, he urgently ordered all troops to push forward as hard as they could in an attempt to quickly defeat the enemy.

After seeing the dead bodies of many Mobei people, he immediately realized that Mobei and Hebei had joined forces.

Li Cunxu was a little annoyed.

That old woman, the Queen of Mobei, and that guy Han Yanhui, actually dared to lie to him!
When he comes back to help, he will definitely capture that old woman alive...

As if to confirm his idea, as soon as this thought came to his mind, a mournful and vigorous horn sounded suddenly from behind the Jin army.

Li Cunxu suddenly got goose bumps all over his body.

Mirror Heart Demon was also shocked and looked back suddenly.

In the direction of Youzhou, across the vast plain, there was an endless stream of cavalry.

This time, both of them recognized him at a glance.

Over there, is the real Hebei Dingbadu...

At the forefront, a beautiful woman in light purple military uniform held the reins with both hands, slightly squeezing the horse's belly, walking slowly, as if admiring the battlefield.

But beside her, Wang Yanzhang had already torn off the dog-skin hat on his head, and his blood-stained face was filled with murderous intent.

He pointed his spear forward and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, die for Xiao Jun -

"Today!"

One after another, the cavalrymen drew their sabers and held them up in a flash.

"kill!"

Thousands of horses were galloping, like rushing waves, charging at an extremely high speed, sweeping into the battlefield.

Behind him, Shuliduo reined in his horse and stopped.

She didn't care about Xiao Yan's life or death, she only cared about who won or lost.

But now it looks like...

This guy really won.
