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

"Report! Repay!"

Zhao Xiong led his army towards Shangyou Pass, but heard the spy approaching him quickly, with a panicked look on his face, saying, "Your Highness, General Yuan led 20,000 cavalrymen and died in battle."

Xiao Jian and the other deputy generals all looked extremely ugly. They were well aware of the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 cavalry led by Yuan Tan.

You know, those 20,000 cavalrymen are Zhao Xiong's elite troops. They have strong combat effectiveness, and when they charge, even 50,000 spearmen will find it difficult to resist.

They thought that even if Ye Feng's cavalry was strong, it would be impossible to kill the 20,000 led by Yuan Tan in such a short time. Yuan Tan could hold Ye Feng back, giving them enough time to run to Shangyou Pass, where they could use Shangyou Pass to resist Ye Feng's cavalry charge.

Judging from the speed of Ye Feng's cavalry charge, they were all infantry, and they were afraid that they would be caught up by Ye Feng's cavalry before they could escape to Shangyouguan.

"My lord, what should I do?"

A deputy general's face turned pale, thinking of Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua who were chasing them quickly from both sides, and the most threatening cavalry of Ye Feng behind them. The battle situation was very unfavorable for them.

Zhao Xiong's expression also became heavy. He realized that he had underestimated Ye Feng from the beginning to the end. The cavalry he had painstakingly trained for nearly twenty years were all killed by Ye Feng in just two or three hours.

"I will lead the vanguard to charge forward, and you will stay behind to stop Ye Feng." Xiao Jian immediately bowed and asked for orders. He knew very well that if no one stopped Ye Feng's cavalry, none of them would be able to escape.

"No! It must be my shield soldiers who stop the cavalry. I will lead 10,000 shield soldiers to stay and stop Ye Feng's cavalry." Zhao Tai said hurriedly.

Zhao Xiong nodded and said, "For now, only if Zhao Tai leads 10,000 shield soldiers to stay and hold Ye Feng back, will we have a chance to reach Shangyou Pass."

"As ordered!"

Zhao Tai did not hesitate at all. He gave an order and stopped with 10,000 shield soldiers. He shouted, "All troops, listen up. No matter what, we must stop Ye Feng's cavalry and buy time for the prince and his men to successfully reach Shangyou Pass."

Zhao Xiong was followed by Xiao Jian, and the more than 50,000 soldiers behind him headed towards Shangyouguan at the fastest speed.

Yang Zaixing and Zhong Feihua's soldiers had already surrounded them from the left and right directions respectively.

"Abandon all unnecessary baggage and retreat quickly!"

Zhao Xiong roared angrily, and the tens of thousands of troops behind him dropped all the dry food and various baggage they had prepared on the spot, and the marching speed became much faster.

"Damn it! I've fought in all my life, and this is the first time I'm in such an embarrassing situation." Zhao Xiong felt unwilling inside. He now regretted not following Cai Xuan's advice.

If Cai Xuan followed his plan and spared the four cities of Ye County, he could kill his way from Linjiang City to Yuancheng, and then use Yuancheng to fight with Ye Feng again.

Without the city wall as a barrier, Ye Feng's tens of thousands of cavalry were the most terrifying type of soldiers. Even if he led his army to stay and fight Ye Feng head-on, the possibility of winning was almost zero.

"Your Highness, as long as we can get to Shangyouguan, everything will be safe." There was some worry in Xiao Jian's brows. Hearing the sound of galloping horses behind him, he could naturally feel that the gap between the cavalry led by Ye Feng and them was getting closer and closer. If Zhao Tai's 10,000 shield soldiers could not resist Ye Feng's cavalry, he really couldn't imagine the consequences.

……

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

Ye Feng rode on a war horse, with Li Shanxiao and Lady Xinling by his side. After killing Yuan Tan, he led the black-armored cavalry to charge out without any hesitation.

"Master, look, there seems to be a group of shield soldiers over there." Li Shanxiao rode on a warhorse, pointing his hook-and-sickle spear at a place hundreds of meters away.

They saw a row of one or two meter long shields blocking the way as they chased Zhao Xiong. The shields completely blocked the soldiers behind them.

"Array up!"

When Zhao Tai heard that Ye Feng's cavalry was attacking, his expression was resolute. He knew that he had to buy time for Zhao Xiong. Ten thousand shield soldiers immediately formed a formation and blocked the route of Ye Feng's cavalry's charge.

"This Zhao Xiong is quite capable in marching and fighting. First he trained cavalry, and now he trains shield soldiers." The shield soldiers that Ye Feng arranged in formation on the spot this year would naturally be disturbed by the shield soldiers' formation if they were replaced by other cavalry. Unfortunately, he was leading the black armor cavalry.

As long as Ye Feng gave the order, the black armor cavalry would charge forward. It would only take a moment for the enemy's shield soldiers lined up in place to be dispersed.

"Don't attack first, surround them. These soldiers have been trained by Zhao Xiong for many years and their combat effectiveness is very good. As long as they are willing to surrender, they can be directly transported to Dongyun City and Tianyun City, which can alleviate the temporary shortage of troops in the two cities." Ye Feng said slowly.

These soldiers are the power of the Song Dynasty. Since he is in charge of the Song Dynasty for Zhao Qiuyan, there is not much meaning in killing these soldiers. Instead, it will weaken the power of the Song Dynasty. In the future, Ye Feng will have to slowly recruit and train soldiers, which will only make his life more difficult.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

As the sound of horse hooves rang out, Zhao Tai and other soldiers were all in the middle of the shields. They were a little surprised. They could clearly hear the sound of horse hooves, but why had they not been charged for such a long time?

"General Zhao, we are surrounded by the enemy." A soldier quickly came to Zhao Tai with a look of surprise. According to the combat effectiveness of the enemy cavalry, they only had 10,000 shield soldiers and could not withstand the enemy's charge at all, but the other side did not choose to attack.

"Listen up, fellow soldiers. I am the emperor of the Song Dynasty. As long as you lay down your weapons immediately, I will forgive you for your past mistakes. If you refuse to change your ways, I will give the order and you will all die under my horse." Ye Feng's hearty voice rang out, and the shield soldiers were slightly moved after hearing it.

"Zhao Xiong's defeat is only a matter of time. You are all men of the Song Dynasty. Knowing that Zhao Xiong will also perish, do you want to be buried with him?"

Hua Hua Hua...

Ye Feng's words made the shield soldiers look moved. Just as Ye Feng said, they were now fighting with an egg against a rock, courting their own destruction.

Now Zhao Xiong has led his troops to flee to Shang Youguan and can hardly protect himself. If they continue to be loyal to Zhao Xiong, they will be seeking their own death.

Even when seeing ten thousand shield soldiers, he remained unmoved.

Madam Xinling came forward with a smile on her face and asked Ye Feng, "Master Ye, how about I try to persuade them?"

"can!"

Ye Feng knew that Lady Xinling was a woman who was as capable as any man in the Song Dynasty. She was very famous and many soldiers admired her.

"My brothers, the King of Zhenguo thinks that we are all soldiers and are just following orders. Now Zhao Xiong is about to escape to Shangyouguan, and your mission of covering his retreat has been completed. Why do you continue to resist and die in vain?" Lady Xinling's hearty voice rang out, and the ten thousand shield soldiers became agitated.
