The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Yecheng.

Ye Feng was riding a war horse, and Li Shanxiao and Lady Xinling were beside him.

Yan Nishang, Lao Huang, Dashan and three others were also following not far away.

They have followed Ye Feng in battle for such a long time that they all know that the three people are Ye Feng's confidants. They follow them almost wherever he goes, so they are not surprised.

"I just received a report from the spies. Zhao Xiong is leading a large army and heading straight for Shangyouguan." After Ye Feng captured Yecheng, he sent out many scouts to report the military situation on the front line at any time and anywhere. He wanted to know in detail the location of the 100,000 troops led by Zhao Xiong.

"What we have to do now is to chase him out and force Zhao Xiong to Shangyouguan completely." He looked indifferent, his eyes slightly narrowed.

As long as Zhao Xiong leads his army to Shangyouguan, he will be surrounded without attacking. As long as time goes on, Zhao Xiong's army's food and grass will be exhausted.

At that time, it meant defeating the enemy without fighting.

"set off!"

The sound of horse hooves rang out, smoke and dust rose up, and one by one the cavalrymen followed Ye Feng, riding away at an extremely fast speed, heading towards Shangyouguan.

……

Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua were horrified when they saw Zhao Xiong heading straight for Shangyou Pass. Ye Feng predicted that as long as Zhao Xiong could not quickly capture the two cities, he would definitely choose to go to Shangyou Pass, and it turned out to be exactly as Ye Feng expected.

"All troops, follow me and chase Zhao Xiong."

Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua, with 30,000 soldiers respectively, rushed out of Shangyoucheng and Xiayoucheng, and chased in the direction of Zhao Xiong's retreat.

"Your Highness, Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua have each led their troops to catch up with us." A spy stood in front of Zhao Xiong and reported.

"These two damn guys must have known that Yecheng had fallen, so they dared to chase us like this." Yuan Tan couldn't help but say angrily.

"Do you want me to take the army to stop them?" Xiao Jian, who was following beside them, asked Yuan Tan for instructions.

"No!"

Zhao Xiong's face looked a little ugly. If he hadn't been concerned about Ye Feng in Yecheng, he could have stopped and had a big fight with Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua. He believed that he would be able to defeat the two of them.

But given the current situation, if he stops and fights the two men, and Ye Feng leads the cavalry to attack, the army he leads will be put on the defensive.

"Damn it. If I had known earlier, I would have listened to Mr. Cai's advice and temporarily guarded Yecheng instead of rushing to attack. Or I could have bypassed Ye County and headed towards Yuancheng from Linjiang City." Zhao Xiong felt a little regretful for no reason. If he had listened to Cai Xuan's advice and not rushed to lead his troops to fight, with the troops under his control, it would have been almost impossible for Ye Feng to quickly capture Yecheng.

"Your Majesty, I feel something is wrong. The armies of Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua are catching up with us, and they don't seem to have any intention of attacking us."

Yuan Tan discovered that the army was constantly moving towards Shangyouguan. The armies of Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua in the two directions behind him were neither hurried nor slow, and had no intention of catching up to fight.

"They may be stalling for time, waiting for Ye Feng's cavalry to arrive. When the time comes, they will attack our army from the front and we will not be able to take care of both ends."

Zhao Xiong naturally saw the intentions of Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua, and his face looked a little solemn. It was impossible to retreat back to Yecheng now.

The only way is to fight to Shangyouguan, and then use the geographical advantage of Shangyouguan to counter the enemy. He said: "All troops, listen to my order, speed up the march, and get to Shangyouguan before dark."

clatter! clatter! clatter!

But just as Zhao Xiong led the army and walked a few miles, the whole land suddenly broke out into battle, and the deafening sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky.

Then he saw a powerful cavalry wearing black armor attacking him from the direction of Yecheng.

Seeing the cavalry charging towards him from several miles away, Zhao Xiong's face was filled with anger. He completely understood that he had been tricked by Ye Feng by his rash march.

The entire Ye County, including the Upper Youcheng and Lower Youcheng, was in a pincer position. Most importantly, the area between the three cities, except for a few small hills, was completely flat and completely unobstructed. With such a terrain, the cavalry would be invincible if they charged.

"Your Majesty, I will lead 20,000 cavalrymen to fight against Ye Feng."

Yuan Tan saw the charging cavalry and bowed to ask for orders. He knew very well that if he did not take the initiative to attack, once Ye Feng's cavalry rushed over, his army would instantly fall into chaos and would surely be defeated.

"Be careful."

Zhao Xiong knew very well that this was the only solution for the moment, so he led 50,000 spearmen and 10,000 shieldmen and retreated to Shangyouguan as quickly as possible.

With the shield soldiers blocking the way, even if Ye Feng's cavalry wanted to charge, it would be impossible to defeat him in a short time.

"Drive! Drive!"

Yuan Tan held a spear in his hand, the warhorse under his crotch neighing, and the 20,000 cavalrymen following behind him were lined up in an orderly manner, their eyes flashing with determination.

"All troops, listen up. The enemy is also cavalry. I've heard that the cavalry of Zhenguojun is very powerful. They can ride horses and mules. If we can defeat the enemy, we will be the best cavalry in the Song Dynasty." Yuan Tan pointed his spear forward and said in a powerful voice, "Please remember, the cavalry will charge to the death. Don't stop, don't stop, move forward, charge!"

"charge!"

Twenty thousand cavalrymen roared, their eyes bloodshot.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and Yuan Tan did not hesitate at all. Twenty thousand cavalrymen followed behind him, bursting out with absolute momentum, and rushed towards Ye Feng.

"General Li, are they coming?"

Zhong Lei followed Li Shanxiao, raised the spear in his hand, and his eyes were filled with a strong desire to fight. They had been fighting siege battles for a while and had long wanted to find a cavalry to fight with.

"Owner?"

Li Shanxiao looked at Ye Feng. Whether he could lead his troops to charge depended on Ye Feng's order.

"charge!"

Ye Feng did not hesitate. He knew that Li Shanxiao and other soldiers were eager to fight against the cavalry, so he conveyed the order immediately.

"kill!"

When Li Shanxiao heard Ye Feng's order, he roared, and the sickle spear in his hand burst out with a dark light. The cultivation of a grandmaster burst out from his body, and he was majestic.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

When the many soldiers of the Black Armor Cavalry charged, their horses were so fast that they left the dust far behind, their momentum was even more powerful, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

call out!call out!call out!

When the two armies were three hundred meters apart, Li Shanxiao and many soldiers took the bows and arrows from their waists and shot the arrows at an extremely fast speed.

"General Yuan, those on the opposite side are not cavalry at all! How come their archery skills are so powerful?" A deputy general followed Yuan Tan, his face full of surprise. The rows of cavalry charging in front of them did not have time to make any response before they were shot to the ground by the arrows coming from the opposite side.

Yuan Tan's expression also became solemn. Just before coming to fight, he was somewhat skeptical about the rumors that Ye Feng's cavalry was very powerful.

Now that they were in a real head-on confrontation, he understood everything. Rumors were probably not enough to describe the fighting power of the cavalry before him.

boom! boom! boom!

Yuan Tan's cavalrymen who were at the forefront of the charge fell to the ground one by one.

Immediately afterwards, the black-armored cavalry rushed in front of them, and screams rang out.

Yuan Tan waved his spear, his face full of horror.

Chi Chi Chi!

The numerous soldiers of the Black Armor Cavalry thrust their spears out in unison. They were neat and orderly, looking after each other and being able to take care of each other.

On the other hand, the cavalry on their side, after being shot by the enemy's arrows, immediately responded to the charge. In just a moment of fierce fighting, thousands of them fell to the ground.

"Oh my God? No wonder Ye Feng won victory after victory in the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun. This is too terrifying, right? Grandmaster?" Yuan Tan roared in his heart. He finally understood why Ye Feng was able to defeat so many opponents. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry in front of him was so strong that even an army of 100,000 would find it difficult to resist.

the other side.

"All troops, listen up and charge with all your might!"

When Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua saw Ye Feng's cavalry arriving, they both conveyed orders. They were no longer pursuing Zhao Xiong leisurely, but were chasing him with all their might.

All of this was an order that Ye Feng had arranged long ago. His purpose was to force the army led by Zhao Xiong to Shangyouguan, where Zhao Xiong would be buried.

"Your Highness, Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua are catching up with us?" Xiao Jian stared at Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua who were catching up with him on both sides, his face looking a little ugly.

It turned out that their purpose of following at a leisurely pace before was to wait for the arrival of Ye Feng's cavalry and lead away the cavalry around Zhao Xiong.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Xiong gritted his teeth, turned his head and saw Yuan Tan's cavalry charging out and fighting with Ye Feng's black-armored cavalry. His face became extremely ugly.

How could he not see that Yuan Tan's 20,000 cavalrymen would never return? He frowned tightly, secretly unwilling in his heart, and cursed: "It is rumored that Ye Feng was just Lin Xiaoxiang's lover in the Wei Dynasty? Where did he train such powerful cavalrymen?"

Generals such as Xiao Jian also had solemn expressions on their faces. They could naturally see that the black-armored cavalry in the distance, in terms of combat effectiveness, speed, and battle formation, far exceeded Yuan Tan's 20,000 cavalry when they charged. It was only a matter of time before Yuan Tan was defeated.

"The entire army should speed up the march and reach Shangyouguan as quickly as possible." Zhao Xiong cursed the person who spread the rumor in his heart. Ye Feng had only been in Song Dynasty for a few months, and he had demonstrated the ability to govern the country and lead troops in battles. How could he be a concubine of a rookie? He was afraid that Zhao Qiuyan, the tyrant woman, would be completely obedient under his rule and listen to his orders, right?

Zhao Qiuyan was not interested in governing the government, and now that Ye Feng was doing all this for her, she must be very happy in her heart. She could just devote herself to practicing martial arts.

The more Zhao Xiong thought about it, the angrier he got. He was even more angry at the Wei Empress Lin Xiaoxiang. You wanted to kill such a powerful person instead of keeping him by your side to help you rule the world? If you really didn't want him, you should have told me earlier. I would have gone to the Wei Dynasty to invite him to be my military advisor. Not to mention being a military advisor, I would have even shared the world with him!

……

"charge!"

Yuan Tan held a spear in his hand. After several charges behind him, only five or six thousand people were left. Each of them was in a miserable state, with firm and resolute eyes.

Without saying much, he roared, took the lead, turned his horse's head, and continued to charge towards Li Shanxiao's cavalry.

"Come on!"

The many cavalrymen behind him did not stop to surrender. As cavalrymen, they either died on the way to charge or died on the way to charge.

"I'm afraid these 20,000 cavalrymen are going to die. What a pity!" Ye Feng, riding on his warhorse, couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw the 20,000 cavalrymen led by Yuan Tan charging in four waves.

No wonder Zhao Xiong dared to be so arrogant. With the combat effectiveness of these 20,000 cavalrymen, if they had not encountered the Black Armored Cavalry, they would really be invincible.

Upon hearing this, Madam Xinling also spoke up, "This Yuan Tan is Zhao Xiong's number one confidant and also Zhao Xiong's son-in-law. It is said that he is not from the Great Song Dynasty, but an orphan that Zhao Xiong rescued when he went to war against the Great Jin Dynasty. Zhao Xiong has devoted all his efforts to nurturing him over the years and even betrothed his most beloved daughter to him."

Chi Chi Chi!

Li Shanxiao held a hook-and-sickle spear in his hand. Although there was a huge gap in the fighting power between the two sides, there was a hint of respect in his eyes. He respected the other party's courage to charge forward even though he knew he could not win.

Just as Ye Feng said to them when he first trained them, the brave will win when two meet in a narrow road. Even if you know you can't win, you still have to dare to draw your sword. Even if you die under the enemy's sword, you still have to tear off a piece of the enemy's flesh.

"charge!"

Li Shanxiao did not say anything extra. Seeing Yuan Tan leading the remaining cavalry to charge, he gave an order and the black-armored cavalry pointed their spears at the enemy in unison. The war horses under their crotch neighed, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard as they rushed towards Yuan Tan's cavalry.

chi chi chi...

Both armies were cavalry, but their fighting power was very different. One by one, the cavalry fell, leaving only the horses galloping away. Even Yuan Tan's arm was stabbed by Li Shanxiao's spear, and the entire arm was torn apart. The spear flew out of his hand, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground, covered in blood.

"General Yuan, we tried our best."

Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and continued to stand up. There were only a dozen or so soldiers left around him, and they were all knocked off their horses by the charge of the black-armored cavalry.

"Brothers, follow me for the last charge!"

Yuan Tan wanted to raise his right hand, but found that it was out of control. It turned out that his right hand was directly cut off by the hook-sickle spear in the confrontation with Li Shanxiao just now.

He bent down, picked up a broken spear with his left hand, and lifted it up with difficulty. Even without war horses, they still had their legs to charge.

"Come on!"

Yuan Tan roared and used his legs to charge towards the black-armored cavalry.

laugh!laugh!laugh!

Li Shanxiao led the black armor cavalry without any hesitation, wielding his spear and displaying his grandmaster skills without any reservation, killing Yuan Tan with his full-strength attack, which was also a respect for Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan stood on the ground with a smile on his face. In his heart, he envied Li Shanxiao for being able to follow a wise man like Ye Feng and show the ability of a grandmaster. If he knew that Li Shanxiao could become a grandmaster because of Ye Feng, he would be even more surprised. Then he smiled and said, "I, Yuan Tan, can die without regrets at the hands of a grandmaster. If there is a next life, I also want to be like you and follow the right master."

puff!

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Li Shanxiao's hook-and-sickle spear completely ended his life.

With the death of Yuan Tan, not a single one of the 20,000 cavalrymen surrendered prematurely because they were afraid of death. They all followed Yuan Tan and charged to the end.

"If Zhao Xiong defends Yecheng to the death, the price we will pay to capture Yecheng will be very high!" There was a serious look in Ye Feng's eyes.

He thought of the most powerful King Dong Xuan, who had worked hard for many years and must have many strong men around him. The soldiers must also have great respect for him. If the other party rebelled, it would be a real fierce battle!
