Zhao Jian's thousand cavalrymen immediately bypassed the spearmen in front and charged out from the right wing. Their horses whistled in the west wind, their iron hooves shook the sky, and they rushed towards Surileheke's defeated army.
The wave-like shouts of killing echoed in the night of the Loess Plateau, and the clanging of iron hooves was as sharp as snowy knives and as swift as fire.
The spearmen in front also quickly withdrew their troops and jumped onto their horses. Qin Mu squeezed his legs together and rushed out on his horse. The morale of the three armies was high, flames shot into the sky, and they swept southward with the Emperor's Dragon Cavalry.
After Surileheke, there were 3,000 Wurigeng and 6,000 Zirjin, totaling 9,000 troops.
In front of the Qin army's rifles, Surileheke was cut down like wheat waves and was beaten to a rout. This cruel fact made Wurigeng and Zhierjin feel very nervous.
They could not escape. They could not expose their backs to the Qin army at this moment. Wurigeng was very anxious and knew that if he ordered a retreat, the whole army would be defeated. However, he did not dare to rush forward and die like Surileheke did.
He rode his horse in front, roaring continuously. His three thousand men quickly spread out their crossbows and placed caltrops on them. The caltrops were loaded with five pounds of gunpowder and filled with broken iron marbles. They could be thrown nearly two hundred steps away by the crossbows. When they exploded, it was earth-shattering, with iron pieces flying everywhere, causing amazing damage to the cavalry.
Wu Rigeng immediately deployed more than a dozen crossbows, hoping that they would deal a heavy blow to the Qin army that was charging at him.
Two miles away from Wurigeng's army, Li Shi led two hundred Qin soldiers and resumed their old business, dragging large branches and galloping on horseback, creating a cloud of dust that almost covered the sky.
And they also showed their skills, running wildly and shouting:
"It's dry, be careful of smoke and dust!"
"It's dry, be careful of smoke and dust!"
... ... ... ...
Wu Rigeng's troops, who were preparing for battle, heard the shouts from the north. Many soldiers were curious about what the Qin army meant by this. Could it be that the Qin State had no more men and wanted to capture some night watchmen to fight
If he knew that Sulerheke had farted because of the smoke and dust just now, he probably wouldn't have had such thoughts.
The perfect night makes the smoke so hazy and beautiful. When it spreads in front of Wurigeng like a beauty's veil, it makes the vision blurred.
Although they were not galloping like Surilhek, and the dust did not fill their eyes much, the thick dust filled the air all around, making people feel as if they were in a fog. It was almost impossible to see anything clearly.
What kind of enemy is the most terrifying? The invisible enemy is the most terrifying. Now Wurigeng and his men could only see a large area of dim light in the north, but it was difficult to judge its distance. Even the war horses began to neigh irritably, making everyone even more panicked.
The thunderous sound of iron hooves seemed to never stop, like a mountain pressing down, making people feel as if Mount Qin was pressing down on them.
Wu Rigen finally couldn't bear the pressure and shouted hysterically, asking each wing to send out a thousand soldiers and horses, and at the same time ignited the fuses of more than a dozen fire caltrops and threw them out with crossbows.
Boom! Boom boom boom... ... ... .
There were bursts of deafening noises ahead in the dusty area. The fire caltrops were extremely powerful. More than a dozen of them exploded at the same time, causing the ground to tremble. However, there were no screams accompanying the explosions, which made Wu Ri feel even worse.
In the north of the endless smoke and dust, Qin Mu stood on his horse with his sword drawn. He pointed at the night sky and said to Hong Niangzi beside him: "Ying'er, the night is so clear and beautiful, I invite you to watch the fireworks."
Lady Hong couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The war is not over yet, Your Majesty, don't be so proud."
Qin Mu did not argue. He waved his sword and five hundred men on each side rushed out like a flood bursting through a dam, stirring up a cloud of dust and rushing southward.
There were still two hundred steps to the enemy formation, but in front of the two groups of people, dazzling flames shot into the night sky, just like meteorites breaking through the atmosphere, forming brilliant rays of light, interweaving in the night sky. The picture was so beautiful, extremely beautiful.
As soon as the cavalry on both wings of Wurigeng charged out, they saw streaks of flames flying across the sky. The war horses neighed in fear. In a flash, the streaks of flames pierced into the army formation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom, boom boom!
... ... ..
Suddenly, clusters of red mushrooms bloomed enthusiastically on the ground and expanded rapidly, turning into a blazing fire that illuminated the sky. Fierce explosions rang out one after another, and shock waves spread violently along with flying shrapnel. War horses and enemies were torn into pieces, thrown into the air, and then fell to the ground with a puff.
The war scene, set against the night sky, was so magnificent that Wu Rigen and his companions were not afraid, but rather stunned by the explosion. Their ears kept buzzing and even bleeding, but they were unaware of it.
Before the survivors could react, another dozen flames streaked across the sky, still so brilliant and so fast, but this time they penetrated deeper, and even the rear troops were not spared.
In Wu Rigeng's eyes, he saw fireballs rising in his own army again, but he could no longer hear any sound. It was like watching a silent movie. He saw his men being instantly swallowed by the fireballs, then torn into pieces, and then spit out by the violent shock wave, flying like rain.
The remaining war horses were frightened crazy by such a violent explosion. They began to run wildly, trampling on each other, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Everything happened too fast. From the appearance of the Qin army's sea of fire, to the defeat of Surileheke, to the bombing of Wurigeng by rockets like a meteor shower, it only took a short time.
The 6,000 troops of Zhierjin at the back watched the entire fireworks display in front. The sight of blood and fire flying everywhere made everyone feel palpitating and terrified.
Zhierjin opened his mouth wide, but in the end he only shouted one word: "Retreat!"
"Kill!" Qin Mu shouted this word almost at the same time. With his thunderous roar, thousands of cavalrymen swept in like a huge wave. Wurigeng's army formation, which had been blown to pieces, was like a sand wall and was instantly submerged under the impact of the fierce waves.
Qin Mu urged his horse to gallop, with the Juque sword in his hand horizontally across the horse's back. There was no need to chop or hack, but just use the wind-like momentum of the warhorse to cut off heads. When they rushed past, none of the remaining men and horses of Wurigeng had the courage to resist with their swords. Perhaps they had really been blown silly.
Returning to this bloody battlefield, Qin Mu's long-quiet heart felt a surge of hot blood rushing up his limbs and veins, and finally rushing to his head. He felt a surge of rage, and he couldn't help but roar to the sky, pouring strength into his arms;
The warhorse under him neighed and charged towards the enemy in front. He swung the Juque sword suddenly, and a golden light was seen in the night. With a puff, a big head flew up and almost hit Hong Niangzi who was chasing him.
Thousands of cavalry swept past, sweeping away all the remaining soldiers of Wurigeng. Splashes of blood spilled into the yellow earth, and screams pierced the sky. In war, there is no mercy. It is either you die or I live.
The west wind blew hard at night, and the Qin army flew along the wind, like a black wave, rushing fiercely into the fleeing Zhierjin's troops.
At this time, there was no need for any rockets. As the saying goes, the defeat was like a landslide. Countless enemies were frightened and just ran away crying for their parents.
Just rush in, just swing your sword and kill, heads will fall one by one with the light of your sword...
On the plain twenty miles north of Jin County, there was a sea of fire, the sound of killing was deafening, countless horse hooves were hammering on the ground, some were fleeing, some were chasing, countless war horses were wailing, and the west wind was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The fleeing enemy troops had all thrown away their torches and scattered across the plains. Looking from the top of Jinzhou City, one could see fire dragons flying across the plains, charging back and forth, with waves of ghosts crying and wolves howling, making one's teeth chatter and one's heart tremble. Layers of defeated soldiers gradually rushed towards the county town, making one feel a bloody wind blowing in one's face.
Qin Mu was in a killing mood. He rode a fine horse and held a precious sword. He killed people happily while shouting: "Soldiers, do not let the enemy chief go. Charge into Jin County. Whoever captures Bailutuhu alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and made a marquis!"
Niu Wanshan and other guards immediately shouted in unison: "Your Majesty has issued an order that whoever captures Bailutuhu alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be made a marquis!"
Upon hearing the emperor's reward, the blood of the Qin soldiers surged. They felt full of energy and galloped on their horses. One of them dared to charge into the crowd of hundreds of fleeing soldiers, hacking and slashing them wantonly as if he was in an empty space.
“Kill!”
"Capture Bairutuhu alive!"
"Capture Bairutuhu alive!"
... ... .
The shouts of the Qin army were like waves crashing against the city walls. Gushi Khan turned pale when he heard them.
