The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Even from the west, tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly emerged and rushed towards the rebel cavalry.

The barbarian Khan took a breath of cold air. Wu Lingyun actually prepared so many cavalry.

The battle had reached this point, and even if the Barbarian Khan regretted it, he could not retreat, otherwise he would be pursued by so many Wu cavalry and his own cavalry would suffer heavy losses.

They had no choice but to go ahead with it. No matter what, they felt that the barbarian cavalry was stronger than the Wu State cavalry.

Ning Yi took out all the cavalry he could mobilize. The scale of 100,000 cavalry was simply terrifying.

Everyone has enough money and food to feed themselves, so naturally it is time for a decisive battle with the barbarians.

Although the barbarians had 150,000 cavalry, they did not have much advantage in large numbers.

Especially on Ning Yi's side, there were artillery harassment from time to time, and infantry archers constantly attacked to help the cavalry.

Even though the barbarian cavalry was tactically powerful, Ning Yi's cavalry was fully armored, especially his own cavalry, whose armor was very sophisticated.

Wrapping the whole body effectively protects oneself.

A large-scale cavalry battle took place in the wilderness, with men constantly falling down and their screams deafening.

The two sides kept passing each other, and people fell one after another.

But both sides passed each other by and then clashed head-on.

What made the barbarians angry was that the Wu State was too despicable. There were actually quite a few hollow square infantrymen in the rear, who shot arrows at them in batches.

Now is the time for a cavalry showdown, there is no time to fight them.

The cavalry on both sides turned their horses around, and under the leadership of their leaders and officers, they reorganized themselves and charged forward again with roars.

Under the continuous attacks on each other, both sides suffered heavy losses, with tens of thousands of people killed. Such a tragic scene rarely occurs on the battlefield.

The barbarian Khan snorted coldly. He still didn't believe how many cavalrymen Wu Lingyun had who could fight like this.

But suddenly the rebels collapsed across the board, and a large number of rebels fled back.

The supervision team couldn't stop them.

Ning Yi didn't let the infantry care about the fleeing rebels at all, because they couldn't escape anyway.

Military orders were issued quickly, and all infantrymen advanced towards the infantry battlefield, forming hollow square formations.

The army has been training for so long that they are already very proficient in the hollow square formation.

The Barbarian Khan had never experienced the power of the hollow square, but his generals were still afraid and advised: "Khan, we must not engage these infantrymen head-on."

The Barbarian Khan frowned. He really wanted to deal with these batches of hollow phalanxes and looked down on them, but he was also worried that he would fall into the trap like the Prime Minister.

He was just about to order a large number of cavalry back, but the entire battlefield was dozens of miles in radius, so how could he give orders to everyone?

A number of cavalrymen had already rushed into the infantry phalanx that came to cause trouble.

As a result, tens of thousands of cavalrymen were killed one after another by the rain of arrows and the endless smoking muskets in the phalanx.

What awaits them is that once the speed of their horses is restricted, they will be overwhelmed by the infantry.

The barbarian Khan took a deep breath. This strange infantry formation was too terrifying.

All of a sudden, his tens of thousands of cavalry were unable to break out.

He anxiously asked the other cavalry to come back so that they could no longer fight against these phalanxes.

But the remaining cavalry of the Wu State kept their eyes on the other cavalry of the barbarians.

Start a full-scale charge.

The barbarian Khan's 150,000 cavalrymen suffered tens of thousands of casualties in the head-on confrontation.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of them were overwhelmed by the infantry phalanx.

Now it is almost the same as the cavalry of Wu State.

He didn't want to fight anymore, but looking at the Wu cavalry rushing towards him, he could only grit his teeth and let the cavalry continue to charge.

At the same time, order other nearby cavalry to come back for support.

But Ning Yi had already given orders that any nearby infantry could approach.

The rebels have collapsed, and all they need to do is deal with the barbarian cavalry to win the battle.

Everyone in the Wu army saw the hope of defeating the barbarians, and both the cavalry and infantry excitedly stepped forward to fight.

What made the barbarian Khan even more terrified was that as soon as he rushed forward to meet the tens of thousands of elite cavalry from the Wu State, he was surrounded by phalanxes that had been prepared in the rear.

I couldn't get out even if I wanted to.

This made the barbarian Khan almost vomit blood. Hundreds of thousands of his elite troops were actually finished like this?

Others immediately advised him to run away, as there were only a few thousand guards left around him, and tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry were rushing towards him.

The barbarian Khan had no choice but to grit his teeth and abandon the other elite troops who were still holding out, turning around and leaving with thousands of personal guards.

The barbarian cavalry who received orders from other directions came to support, and when they saw the Khan running away, they naturally ran after him.

In addition to ordering the cavalry to continue the pursuit, Ning Yi also ordered the rest of the army to quickly clean up the battlefield.

Even if the barbarian Khan wanted to escape, he would have to sacrifice his life because all the nearby areas were sealed off.

How could we let him leave so easily?

When the war was over and the spoils were counted, it was found that the barbarian cavalry had captured nearly 50,000 people.

The others scattered everywhere were wounded soldiers, and they were all taken care of.

The rebels captured more than 80,000 people. All the wounded soldiers were treated, but all the officers were executed.

The private army that had been blockading nearby came back, and the barbarian Khan successfully broke through, but after the breakout, he was left with less than 30,000 cavalrymen.

In addition to having his private army clear the battlefield and guard the prisoners, Ning Yi quickly divided the rest of the army and marched north.

All the cities occupied by barbarians in the north were recovered one after another.

Whenever we encountered any barbarians resisting, we would wipe them all out, and even the city defense forces in some stable places would be wiped out.

The barbarian Khan also gathered the 20,000 cavalrymen who were keeping an eye on Han Dingtian, and the scattered soldiers and horses from all over the place, totaling more than 70,000, and they rode non-stop towards the grassland.

The loss this time was so great that it would take him at least ten years to recover. How could he dare to stay here when the Wu cavalry behind him were still chasing him?

And Ning Yi finally met Han Dingtian who continued to resist.

Han Dingtian was wearing tattered armor that was covered in scars, and the entire army was also in a state of disrepair.

All the people who had held on until now originally thought that the Wu Kingdom had no chance of winning, but they didn't expect that they would really receive reinforcements. The barbarians were defeated, and they all cried and shouted.

Ning Yi first provided food to the people in the city to stabilize the area.

Then he immediately reorganized Han Dingtian's army. Han Dingtian only wanted to stay with Ning Yi and avoid being executed by the old emperor. As for his remaining troops, His Highness could reorganize them however he wanted.

Ning Yi didn't expect that they could actually reorganize tens of thousands of border cavalry.

The entire north was recovered in less than half a month.

When the news reached the capital, everyone thought it was fake news, right?

However, as news of victory and the recapture of cities continued to spread, everyone was shocked.

Emperor Wu immediately ordered Duke Baoguo to go north and conveyed an order to Ning Yi on the spot, saying that he had made outstanding contributions and should return to the capital immediately.

But Ning Yi sneered and told the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict on the spot: "I will return to the capital as soon as I have cleaned up this place. You can go back and report to your father first."
