The cold, sharp Mo Dao easily pierced through the breastplates of the Beiliang soldiers, and even if the enemy was full of passion, he could only die on the battlefield.
Gradually, the White Feather Soldiers and the Mo Dao Soldiers at both ends of the battle formation easily changed the local situation, resulting in a crushing victory.
These third or fourth-rank martial artists can break through five or six layers of armor with a single strike, making it incredibly easy for them to kill people.
The right wing of the Northern Liang army.
Qi Dangguo watched the battlefield anxiously. The enemy cavalry had not yet moved out, but the Tang army's infantry, despite being outnumbered, were gradually gaining the upper hand.
Both sides were fearless in the face of death, making the war even more brutal, with limbs and severed bodies scattered everywhere on the battlefield.
They couldn't wait any longer; Qi Dangguo knew the importance of battlefield momentum.
Looking at the six thousand Ironclad Cavalry and twenty thousand Northern Liang Iron Cavalry behind him, a surge of heroic spirit ignited in his heart.
"Brothers, Beiliang hasn't fought a major battle for many years!"
"Some people are already saying that the Northern Liang's fighting spirit has been completely extinguished, and they can no longer fight!"
"What do you think we should do?"
The Ironclad Pagoda soldiers, their faces obscured by armor, emitted muffled sounds that coalesced into a cacophony of thunder.
Kill! Kill! Kill! Leave no one alive!
Then, the entire cavalry was filled with fervor, and the atmosphere of the war that destroyed the country seemed to return.
The Iron Pagoda was originally the Manchu Armored Battalion, the true soul of the Northern Liang army.
Qi Dangguo looked at the large banner with the character "Xu" not far away and said in a passionate voice, "Gentlemen!"
"The Manchu Armored Battalion is now at full strength, what should we do?"
This sentence was powerful and imposing, instantly igniting the pride and heroism of the Iron Pagoda.
Six thousand men shouted in unison, "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
Qi Dangguo used his inner energy to raise his voice to its highest point, shouting to the more than 30,000 cavalrymen behind him, "The day of the death has come!"
As he spoke, he turned his horse around, took up his silver spear, and leaped off in the lead!
"Ironclad Cavalry, Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, charge!"
In an instant, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves could be heard for miles, and the right flank of the Northern Liang army was shrouded in dust, with shouts of battle shaking the heavens!
Almost simultaneously, the sound of horses' hooves rang out from all sides of the battlefield!
The Snow Dragon Riders, the Black Armor Army, and the White Horse Cavalry all began their charge.
The Xuanjia Army clashed with the Snow Dragon Cavalry, and the heavily armored cavalry charged into battle!
The White Horse Cavalry, along with 10,000 light cavalry from the Huyan tribe and 20,000 Tang Dynasty iron cavalry, charged towards the Iron Pagoda.
Seeing the speed at which the enemy was charging, Qi Dangguo couldn't help but feel his blood boil.
"Brothers, Li Chang'an actually used light cavalry to charge the Iron Pagoda! He deserves to die a horrible death!"
Qi Dangguo, galloping on horseback, used his inner energy to spread this phrase throughout his cavalry.
The six thousand Ironclad Cavalry instantly erupted in fierce shouts, "Crush the Shazhou Army!"
"Run them over!"
"Kill! Slaughter Shazhou!"
The thunderous sound of hooves filled the air as the White Horse Cavalry spotted the Iron Pagoda.
Huo Qubing licked his lips and shouted, "My men, annihilate the Iron Pagoda! Our victory will be achieved today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another volley of arrows shot out from the White Horse Cavalry formation!
At such high speeds, the ability to maintain steady riding and shooting is something only the White Horse Cavalry could achieve.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Looking at the arrows raining down, Qi Dangguo sneered inwardly. When had the Ironclad Cavalry ever been afraid of arrows?
The Ironclad Cavalry paid no heed, whipping their strong horses relentlessly as they charged through the rain of arrows!
"puff!"
An arrow shot by a third-rank martial artist easily pierced the head of an Ironclad Pagoda!
"laugh!"
Another arrow pierced the chest of a Ironclad Pagoda!
"Kick!"
The Ironclad Pagoda's thick iron armor was actually pierced by arrows!
In an instant, the Ironclad Cavalry was thrown into chaos, with hundreds of Ironclad Cavalry warriors lost in a single volley of arrows!
"Charge! Charge through the arrows!"
Although Qi Dangguo's attack speed did not decrease, he was extremely shocked!
how can that be!
How could mere arrows pierce through the Ironclad Pagoda?
I've fought wars my whole life and I've never seen anything like this before!
Chapter 222 War Spirit Celestial Phenomenon! The Xuanjia Army Clashes Head-on with the Great Snow Dragon Riders!
Qi Dangguo had no idea that the White Horse Cavalry was a military army.
He was even less aware that the arrows used by the White Horse Cavalry were made of materials similar to those used for the Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword).
With such a barrage of arrows, how could the Ironclad Cavalry emerge unscathed!
From the center of the army, Li Chang'an saw the Iron Pagoda and White Horse Cavalry about to engage in battle from afar on a high platform.
Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled, "Your Highness's use of light cavalry against the Iron Pagoda has truly opened my eyes."
A smile played on Li Chang'an's lips as he watched the White Horse Cavalry and light cavalry gradually separate.
"We only have one heavy cavalry unit, the Xuanjia Army, so of course we have to use it to deal with the enemy's ace, the Great Snow Dragon Riders."
"The Ironclad Cavalry is strong in armor and weaponry, but lacks flexibility. It's not difficult for them to be contained and surrounded by light cavalry."
On the other side, Xu Fengnian was also watching the Iron Pagoda with eager eyes. This world-renowned heavy cavalry was about to crush the Shazhou cavalry!
"Charge, Iron Pagoda Cavalry! The White Horse Cavalry is Li Chang'an's trump card, wipe them out!"
The war drums thundered into the sky, and the shouts of battle echoed!
Both the White Horse Cavalry and the Iron Pagoda were exuding an astonishing aura, and they were about to clash head-on.
At this moment, Qi Dangguo saw Huo Qubing's face.
"Li Chang'an is laughable, actually sending out a young general. Shazhou's foothold is not yet secure, and its foundation is shallow!"
"State your name, for there are no nameless men under the Iron Pagoda's hooves!"
Qi Dangguo, nicknamed Wolfhound, made a remark that caused Huo Qubing to burst into laughter.
"You damned wolfhound, remember this: Huo Qubing's name will surely be known throughout the world!"
As they spoke, the two generals clashed, their killing intent soaring and their true energy surging.
Huo Qubing's silver spear was as fierce as a dragon, its power overwhelming the state of Qi!
"The Ironclad Cavalry is nothing but a joke! Follow me and kill them!"
Qi Dangguo retorted defiantly, "In this world, when it comes to charging into battle, who can compare to the Iron Pagoda!"
If the heavily armored Ironclad Cavalry were to charge head-on, they would be like tanks, even surpassing the Great Snow Dragon Riders.
Therefore, if the Xuanjia Army were to charge straight at the Iron Pagoda, it would truly be a case of tanks crashing into tanks.
Even if the Xuanjia Army wins due to the high skill level of its soldiers, the losses will not be small.
Therefore, Li Chang'an came up with the tactic of using flexible light cavalry to guerrilla-style attacks on the Iron Pagoda.
In the blink of an eye, the White Horse Cavalry suddenly dispersed, avoiding the Iron Pagoda's sharp edge, but their momentum did not diminish.
Looking at the imposing presence of the two armies from afar, Xu Fengnian immediately clenched his fists, feeling reassured.
"The White Horse Cavalry has dispersed!"
"They were scattered by the Ironclad Cavalry!"
"If cavalry charge into battle and are scattered, what kind of threat can they pose!"
As expected, the White Horse Cavalry and the Huyan Cavalry and Tang elite cavalry behind them all dispersed into formation in perfect unison.
Although some losses were inevitable, they have successfully slid to both sides of the Iron Pagoda.
The light cavalry of Shazhou were agile and highly skilled horsemen, each unfastening a long-handled sword from their waist.
"Chucky!"
The Ironclad Pagoda's horses had their legs cut off, and one by one, the Ironclad Pagoda soldiers and their horses were trampled into mincemeat in the blink of an eye.
The heavily armored Ironclad Cavalry were unable to mount any agile resistance and could only watch helplessly as their horses' legs were severed.
