The number of the Black Tortoise Army in front of them was about five thousand, about two thousand more than the Wolf Cavalry Regiment, so they had more manpower.
However, the Wolf Cavalry Regiment showed no fear when facing this team. They just rode the giant wolves and slammed into the Xuanwu Army formation that was responsible for intercepting them.
It was not until the two sides came into contact that the Xuanwu Army understood why the Wolf Cavalry Regiment dared to charge forward without hesitation, because the impact force of the Wolf Cavalry Regiment was greater than they had expected.
The phantom, like a mountain, slammed heavily into the Black Tortoise Army soldiers covered in black iron armor, knocking the front row of soldiers flying out.
Blood was gushing out from the gaps in the black heavy armor, and almost all the people inside were shattered by the powerful impact.
The huge force pushed the intercepting Xuanwu Army back more than ten meters, and when the Xuanwu Army on both wings came up and were ready to surround the Benlang Cavalry Regiment.
The Wolf Cavalry Regiment jumped back without hesitation, allowing the rear team to escape the encirclement directly. Only the front half of the team was still within the attack range of the Black Tortoise Army on both wings.
The Xuanwu Army had never seen a cavalry regiment that could change formations so quickly. After all, the cavalry regiments they had seen were all mounted on horses, and horses simply could not perform a movement such as jumping back seven or eight meters.
Due to the physical condition of the Wolf, the Cavalry Regiment can make changes in military formations that exceed all traditional changes in battle formations. This backward leap fighting style is a representative example.
The front half of the people leaped back and avoided the counterattack from the front line of the Xuanwu Army.
The spears in the hands of the Xuanwu Army had just stabbed the front of the Wolf Cavalry Regiment, but their attack was ineffective due to the resistance of the mountain-like phantom, and they basically couldn't even penetrate the defense.
Of course, this was also related to the Xuanwu Army's lack of preparation. They had never fought against the Wolf Cavalry Regiment, had no idea of the details of the Wolf Cavalry Regiment, and did not understand how powerful this team was.
After dodging the counterattack, the front half of the Wolf Cavalry Regiment suddenly split into two along the center of the formation. The left half turned to the left, and the right half turned to the right.
The running wolf can turn extremely quickly, and after turning around, it can burst out with powerful force, carrying the cavalry forward and pouncing suddenly.
The cavalry regiment used this force to thrust the spears in their hands suddenly.
Six or seven hundred golden lights shot out from the Wolf Cavalry Regiment, like sharp thorns, piercing into the Black Tortoise Army array that was biting down from both sides.
Although the powerful piercing effect brought by the metal element spiritual energy failed to completely pierce the armor and heavy shields of the Xuanwu Army, it did cause them some injuries.
The most crucial point is that these attacks with shining golden light are like stuffing a cactus in a tiger's mouth, making it impossible for the opponent to bite or spit it out.
After the attack, the strength of the Xuanwu Army on both sides weakened and its speed slowed down. The Wolf Cavalry Regiment took the opportunity to change its formation again and jumped out again.
At this moment, the entire team completely broke away from the Xuanwu Army's formation and began to distance themselves from the enemy.
After the test just now, Yin Lie still felt a little uneasy in his heart. After all, he was born in the Tang Dynasty court, and he had an inexplicable awe for the Xuanwu Army, the strongest military force in the country.
In the previous battle, the Xuanwu Army lost two to three hundred people, while the Benlang Cavalry Regiment was intact. The Benlang Cavalry Regiment had gained the initiative.
This fight also gave Yin Lie and all the soldiers of the Wolf Cavalry Regiment strong confidence. The originally powerful image of the Xuanwu Army immediately dropped to the level of "victorious".
On the other hand, the way the Xuanwu Army looked at the Wolf Cavalry Regiment was completely different.
The result of the fight just now was somewhat beyond their expectations. This mysterious monster cavalry team was able to seize the initiative and not only inflict damage on them, but also escape unscathed.
At this moment, the morale of the Xuanwu Army was boosted. Facing challengers of equal strength, they no longer dared to underestimate the opponent in the slightest.
The two armies had already distanced themselves from each other at this time, and the Xuanwu Army suddenly dismounted and drove their horses away.
Huo Xing frowned and said, "The Xuanwu Army is not cavalry. Heavy cavalry is just a role they occasionally play. Their true combat effectiveness is reflected when they become heavy infantry."
Ye Li was shocked when he heard this, and then looked at the Xuanwu Army.
The formation of the Xuanwu Army changed extremely quickly. The shield bearers had already stood in the front with their shields raised, and the heavy shields in their hands were pressed in front of them, like a dark wall of gold and iron.
Behind the wall, long black spears stretched out and pointed in the direction of the Wolf Cavalry Regiment. If the Wolf Cavalry Regiment dared to attack the army formation again, the soldiers of the Black Tortoise Army would give them a head-on blow.
However, Yin Lie and the others did not show any fear at all, and even showed excitement on their faces.
"Everyone charge, smash their defense head-on!!!"
At Yin Lie's command, the Wolf Cavalry Regiment started running again, like a rolling mountain, crashing into the iron wall not far away.
Just when Yin Lie thought that the Xuanwu Army was going to withstand their attack head-on, the rear row of the Xuanwu Army split into two wings again and surrounded the Wolf Cavalry Regiment.
And behind the Xuanwu Army formation, several rows of soldiers operating strange mechanisms suddenly appeared.
In front of these soldiers were large boxes with rune marks on them.
Before Ye Li could express his doubts, the rune marks on the boxes suddenly lit up, and dark arrows shot out from them, passing over the Xuanwu Army formation and pouring down towards the top of the Wolf Cavalry Regiment.
These huge arrows are no different from the arrows released from the heavy crossbows on the city walls. They are equally huge and full of powerful destructive power.
The Wolf Cavalry Regiment had no idea that there was such a thing hidden in the back row of the Xuanwu Army. They did not check it for a while and immediately fell into the coverage of the rain of arrows.
Each of these heavy crossbow arrows is as thick as a child's arm and emits a strong golden spiritual light. They are obviously cast and engraved with rune marks.
Under the influence of the metal element's spiritual energy, these arrows were filled with sharp power, and made sharp whistling sounds as they broke through the air.
"Block the arrows!!!"
At Yin Lie's command, strong spiritual energy fluctuations burst out from the officers in the team.
They grabbed the spears in their hands and swung them above their heads. Powerful gold spiritual energy gathered on their spears and as they danced, it turned into a curtain wall, completely blocking the space above their heads.
Although the heavy crossbow arrows are powerful, they are only effective against ordinary soldiers.
The officers and generals of the Wolf Cavalry Regiment had cultivation levels at least at the Divine Descent Stage, so they were not overly worried about the impact of the arrows.
