The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Seeing this scene, Tuermu was stunned, somewhat confused about the meaning of the fireworks.

But just as he was stunned, 20,000 people suddenly appeared on the road ahead. The moment he saw those 20,000 people, a deep fear surged in Tuermu's eyes.

Finished! Their retreat was intercepted by someone. He couldn't help but look back to the left, with a deep fear in his eyes.

Chu Chengfeng was even more powerful and terrifying than he had imagined. This guy must have seen through their plan and was trying to outwit them.

Or perhaps, Mu Yuntian had no sincerity in cooperating with them. This guy was pretending to be nice to them, and when they thought they had everything under control, he gave them a fatal blow.

Otherwise, how could Chu Cheng arrange so carefully? Now, even if he could escape, he would definitely lose one third of the 100,000 men. Maybe even more!

Thinking of this, anger welled up in his eyes. He must tell the coach about this news. Otherwise, they would be kept in the dark and would not know how they died.

In anger, he shouted again and led his cavalry to meet the 20,000 cavalry in front.

But just as they rushed to the front and confronted the 20,000 Zuoguan cavalry, he was horrified to find that these Zuoguan cavalry were stationed about 20 feet apart, and the distance between the cavalry was very large.

Seeing this distance made him stunned. The cavalry formation at this distance was too sparse. It was not suitable for a cavalry charge, let alone a cavalry collision.

The general leading the opposing army, does he know nothing about horse battles? He couldn't help but feel a surge of contempt in his heart. Not only could they easily kill through such a cavalry formation, but they didn't even have to lose much manpower.

But just when he was about to express his pride, he was horrified to find that although the cavalry on the opposite side had opened up a great distance, what they were holding in their hands were actually thorny bamboos!

Moreover, all the cavalrymen lowered their bodies, almost lying prone on their horses, leaving them no chance to hack and kill.

This group of cavalrymen were not here to fight them, they were here to disrupt their formation! This...

Tuoermu felt his scalp tingling, and a strong fear surged in his heart. Moreover, the opponent's speed was more than twice theirs. In a collision, they could directly crash through your cavalry formation without suffering too many casualties.

But wherever the thorny bamboo passed, not to mention how many people it would injure, it would definitely disrupt the formation of the entire cavalry.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and shouted angrily: "Be careful, don't rush over!"

Although his roar was loud, few people actually heard it. Besides, it was too late.

The two sides collided with each other at this time. Wherever the sharp bamboo passed, it not only scratched and stabbed the war horses, but also brought out a long line of blood.

There was no direct fighting between the two sides, and many cavalrymen on the Northern Mongolian side fell off their horses due to being frightened.

Then, they let the war horses behind them trample them to death. After the cavalry of Zuoguan slowed down, they waved their spiked bamboos and danced wildly in the cavalry formation.

Although the bamboo was broken and folded in many places, it had many sharp thorns, and it was difficult to cut it in one go with a knife. Therefore, after the 20,000 Zuoguan cavalry rushed into the formation.

The Northern Mongolian cavalry formation of tens of thousands of people was suddenly in chaos again. Not only that, the Zuoguan cavalry from three directions, the left and right sides and the rear, had already rushed over.

They joined the charge, and the already chaotic Northern Mongolian cavalry became even more chaotic. The battle was already a battle of two sides.

The Zuoguan cavalry used bamboo as a weapon and swung it around. Although bamboo cannot kill people, it can knock people off their horses. In this chaotic cavalry battlefield, once you are knocked off your horse, you are almost certain to die.

If the bamboo was broken, the cavalry would use their standard sabers to kill again.

The Northern Mongolian cavalry had lost their morale and were surrounded and attacked on all sides, and they were almost killed without any chance to fight back.

But they were worthy of being the Northern Mongolian Iron Cavalry. In this desperate situation, they also burst out with great fighting skills, and the casualty ratio reached almost three to one.

Three Northern Mongolian cavalrymen could kill one Zuoguan cavalryman. But as the battle progressed, the casualty ratio became higher and higher, and only five or six Northern Mongolian cavalrymen could kill one Zuoguan cavalryman.

A part of the Northern Mongolian cavalry broke out of the encirclement and fled towards Youguan. The number of cavalry who escaped was about 40,000.

Chu Chengren and Chu Chengduan, the two brothers, met up while killing each other, and looked at the fleeing Tuoermu and nearly 40,000 northern Mongolian cavalry. A sense of pity welled up in Chu Chengduan's eyes.

"Damn it! So many of them escaped, including our commander, Tuoermu!"

Chu Chengren heard this and smiled, “Third brother, they can’t escape much, don’t forget about the second and fourth brothers!”

His words immediately made Chu Chengduan's eyes light up. Yes, there were only 70,000 people fighting here. In addition to the 10,000 people who stayed in the city, another 20,000 people were taken out by the second and fourth brothers.

I didn't show up when my two brothers were fighting. I'm afraid that the mantis is stalking the cicada, while the oriole is behind!

On the city wall, Chu Chengfeng looked at the battle below which was about to end, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Nearly 100,000 Northern Mongolian cavalrymen lost more than 50,000 in the battle outside the city. Their own side also lost nearly 10,000 people. This loss ratio is already good.

But Chu Chengfeng still sighed in his heart, for he remembered what his two younger brothers had said when they came back, that when their brother-in-law destroyed the Northern Mongolian cavalry, there were almost no casualties.

If we had weapons like the ones Jiang Fan had, perhaps today's battle would have been more successful, and our side would have suffered fewer casualties.

Thinking of this, a look of anticipation welled up in his eyes. He didn't know whether his brother-in-law would come to Hezhou Pass.

At the same time, Chu Chengfeng ordered people to set off fireworks. Under the city wall, Chu Chengren and Chu Chengwen, who had killed the last group of Northern Mongolian cavalry, saw the fireworks in the sky and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

Their eldest brother asked them to chase the enemy. Chu Chengfeng had previously told the two brothers that if the enemy escaped, they should ignore them and just eliminate the remaining enemies.

Now it seemed that it was time for them to give chase. The two brothers quickly gathered their troops and chased in the direction where Tuoermu had fled.

At the same time, Tuermu, who escaped with more than 40,000 remaining soldiers, saw that there were no pursuers chasing him, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He felt grateful for having survived the disaster. If he had not acted decisively and instead fought with the cavalry from Zuoguan, he might not have been able to escape.

Moreover, even if they escaped, the estimated loss of troops would be even greater.
