Chapter 576 The Army Arrives
Chapter 576 The Army Arrives
Meanwhile, Huo Qubing's Imperial Guards received support from thousands of Cangzhou Iron Cavalry, and the Cangzhou Iron Cavalry directly confronted the main force of the Night Fiend Iron Cavalry's siege.
The remaining Imperial Guards, under Huo Qubing's leadership, immediately took advantage of their cavalry strengths, using speed to defeat the enemy, with arrows raining down like a siege.
They were entangled with the elite Night Fury cavalry that Zhao Kuangyin had personally selected and assembled to serve as his personal guard.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin paused in his movements with the dragon-patterned staff, secretly plotting something.
Suddenly, his slender figure shot up, charging straight at Tie Shiwen in front of him, intending to break his momentum with a thunderous strike.
When the two met, their energies collided like two stars colliding, radiating brilliant light and shaking the entire battlefield.
At the same time, the Imperial Guards led by Bei Miao and his two companions gradually approached from the rear.
Zhao Kuangyin's personal guards, who were always by his side, stood back to back in a circle, forming an unbreakable barrier with their flesh and blood, thwarting any attacks that tried to get close to him from behind.
"Night Fury cavalry, follow me to vanquish the enemy!"
Zhao Kuangyin roared, his inner energy surged again, and he swept his dragon-shaped staff horizontally, the dragon-shaped energy transforming into thousands of rays of light, crushing the attacks of the many Cangzhou cavalrymen around him.
Meanwhile, Zhao Guangyi, who had been leading a portion of the Night Fury cavalry on patrol, ready to support Zhao Kuangyin's frontline battles, also saw his brother Zhao Kuangyin's perilous situation, and a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
However, noticing his personal guards and Zhao Fengyun's gaze from behind, he could only suppress the ill-intentioned thought in his heart.
Now that everyone is watching, he naturally cannot deliberately delay the speed of reinforcements; he can only resolve the current battle situation before making any further plans.
"Brother, have no worries, Guangyi is here!"
Although his mind was racing, his hands moved with unwavering determination. He raised his weapon high and led a contingent of Night Fury cavalry into the battlefield.
The clash of their internal energies became even more intense.
Zhao Guangyi led from the front, and each attack was accompanied by an explosion of internal energy.
His Night Fury cavalry followed closely behind, carving a bloody path through the turbulent battlefield.
Numerous figures clad in jet-black armor moved freely across the battlefield, like tigers descending a mountain, unstoppable in their momentum.
Meanwhile, Zhao Fengyun was also keeping a close eye on the battle situation ahead.
At the same time, his worried gaze never forgot to keep an eye on the direction from which Tie Shiwen's Cangzhou cavalry had come.
As the battle continued, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Kuangyin, who gradually reunited, lived up to their brotherhood.
Although this brother's intentions were somewhat superficial, the two worked together seamlessly, showing remarkable chemistry.
The two men, one attacking and the other defending, complemented each other's strengths and weaknesses, making the battle between the Nightshade Army and the Cangzhou Army even more intense and protracted.
Under their leadership, the Nightshade Iron Cavalry, which were entangled with the Cangzhou cavalry, also displayed astonishing combat power.
The battlefield was now unrecognizable, with only endless flashes of swords and flying blood and flesh remaining.
Meanwhile, at the front lines, the Night Fury cavalry clashed fiercely with the thousands of Cangzhou cavalry led by Tie Shiwen and the Imperial Guards under Wei Qing.
A deafening roar came from the horizon, as if a huge crack had opened in the sky, foreshadowing new changes to come.
The sound grew louder as it approached, carrying an irresistible pressure that caused most of the people on the battlefield who had not yet joined the fight to involuntarily stop what they were doing and look up in the direction from which the sound came.
On the horizon, a thick cloud of dust rose, like a giant dragon soaring into the sky, obscuring the sun.
As the dust settled in, "I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World" is being serialized and is not to be missed! A massive army gradually appeared, its heavy steps perfectly synchronized, each step seemingly treading on the pulse of the earth, stirring the very soul.
This army consisted of 20,000 Cangzhou infantrymen under Lian Po, who followed closely behind Tie Shiwen, and another 20,000-plus Cangzhou cavalrymen under Tie Shiwen.
The infantry formation of Cangzhou was impeccably orderly, like an unshakeable wall forged of steel.
They were clad in heavy armor, wielding long spears; in the infantry formation, shields stood like a forest, and spears pierced like spikes.
Sunlight shone on their armor, reflecting a dazzling light, like thousands of stars converging and illuminating a corner of the battlefield.
The Cangzhou cavalry, on the other hand, surged forward like flames in a raging storm.
Riding tall warhorses, clad in battle robes, and wielding spears or bows and arrows, the warhorses neigh and their iron hooves pound the ground, seemingly tearing the air apart.
The arrival of these two armies undoubtedly brought an unprecedented sense of pressure to the battlefield.
On the command platform of the Night Fury army, Zhao Fengyun stared at the slowly approaching army and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
With the arrival of this Cangzhou army, the balance of power on the battlefield will be completely shattered.
He had originally hoped to quickly defeat Wei Qing's Imperial Guards and thus gain the strategic initiative, but now it seems that all of that has come to naught.
"really!"
Zhao Fengyun muttered to himself, his tone revealing helplessness and resentment.
He had already guessed the identity of this army and understood the true intentions of the Cangzhou Army.
Now that it has been confirmed that the Imperial Guard is the secret operation of the Cangzhou Army.
With the arrival of Tie Shiwen's Cangzhou cavalry, the main Cangzhou army will surely follow closely behind.
Currently, they have yet to defeat Wei Qing's Imperial Guard.
With the arrival of the Cangzhou army, it became even less likely that their Night Fiend Army would win.
They have missed the best opportunity to enter Hengzhou!
If they can capture Wei Qing's Imperial Guards before the Cangzhou army arrives, they might still have a glimmer of hope.
But now, facing this massive Cangzhou army, and the main force of the Cangzhou army behind it that has almost taken over the entire territory of Hengzhou, the Nightshade Army's situation on this battlefield in the northern border of Hengzhou is beyond saving.
Unless the Night King disregards everything and leads the main force of the Night Fury army south to Hengzhou to fight the Cangzhou army to the death.
But this situation is clearly impossible.
"Pass down the order: the entire army retreats!"
Zhao Fengyun gave the order in a deep voice, his brows furrowed, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
However, reality was cruel; all he saw was the enemy's invincible arrogance and the exhaustion and fear on the faces of his own soldiers.
Continuing to fight the Cangzhou army here will only cause the Nightshade Army to suffer even greater losses. Retreat is the only wise choice.
With Zhao Fengyun's order given, the rear guard of the Night Fiend Army began an orderly retreat.
Although he was unwilling, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Meanwhile, the Cangzhou army continued its advance, their gazes cold and stern.
On the battlefield, the tense atmosphere of the standoff between the two armies gradually dissipated, replaced by silence and solemnity.
As Zhao Fengyun issued the order to retreat, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, who were leading the Night Fiend Iron Cavalry in battle against Tie Shiwen's Cangzhou cavalry, Huo Qubing's Imperial Guard Cavalry, and the Imperial Guards led by Bei Miao, Kunzhong, and Xi Zhao, also received the order.
He began to lead the Nightshade cavalry in a fighting retreat, heading towards the Nightshade army behind them.
