We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

The scout captain was obviously not clear enough about the combat effectiveness of the armored cavalry.

Armored cavalry, the undisputed ceiling of cold weapon combat power.

The most advanced modern armored cavalry, such as Napoleon's cuirassiers, can even block bullets, defend against arrows, and ignore damage from swords.

As for why, under the city of Andong, the thousand Goryeo cavalrymen were unable to defend against the bullets of the Shenjinying and didn't even touch a hair.

That's because Goryeo's cavalry was not armored cavalry at all. They were just cavalry wearing armor and their horses were equipped with armor plates.

Yue Yun had a total of 2,000 armored cavalry under his command, divided into three teams to intercept the reinforcements.

Their full equipment is as follows:

A full body armor made of metal plates, covering the body: including helmet, breastplate, back armor, shoulder armor, arm armor and leg armor.

A knight's shield made of wood, leather, and metal, capable of withstanding deadly attacks.

A main battle lance, a one-handed axe for breaking armor, a cavalry crossbow or cavalry bow, two grenades, and a pot of arrows.

There was also a good horse picked out from a hundred miles away, also covered with armor without any blind spots.

When such an armored cavalryman enters the battlefield, he is like an airtight but attackable iron can. Ordinary infantry cannot cause any harm to him at all.

"Rest here with peace of mind, we'll be back soon." Yue Yun patted the scout captain's shoulder and jumped on his horse.

The eight hundred armored cavalrymen behind him jumped onto their horses at the same time, their movements in unison.

Each armored cavalryman had three horses, and the armor was tied to another horse and would be put on after arriving at the destination.

More than two thousand horses left the camp and headed north.

. . . . . .

"General, Black Pine Mountain is ahead. After passing it, we can reach Andong City in half a day's walk." A scout stumbled over with a hint of hope in his tone.

"Pass the order down, speed up!" General Gao Li's voice was hoarse and weak, but he still forced himself to cheer up.

The continuous rush not only made the soldiers sigh, but even he, the general, felt a little overwhelmed.

This reinforcement was sent too hastily. Before this, he was just a low-ranking officer in charge of a fortress, but was promoted to general on the battlefield and temporarily led these 5,000 soldiers from all over the place.

The team obeyed the general's order and began to move forward at an accelerated pace.

General Goryeo looked around and found that the team was now in a small plain.

The army stretched out like a long snake. The leading army had already entered Black Pine Mountain, while the tail army had not yet come out of the previous mountain pass.

General Goryeo suddenly had a bad feeling and his heart began to pound.

If we were to be ambushed here, and the head and tail couldn't take care of each other, it would be a disaster!

"Speed ​​up! Speed..."

A low roar came from the end of the snowfield, and the general's words came to an abrupt end.

The sound came from far away, getting louder and louder, as if thousands of troops were galloping towards us.

"What is that?" A Goryeo soldier pointed forward in horror.

A black torrent appeared at the edge of the snowfield.

This torrent seemed to surge out from hell, sweeping towards them with overwhelming force.

"Cavalry! It's cavalry!" someone shouted in horror.

The black torrent was getting closer and closer, and the Goryeo soldiers finally saw the appearance of the newcomers.

They were dressed in pitch-black full body armor, like demons from the abyss, their bright red cloaks fluttering in the wind like the raging flames of hell.

Eight hundred cavalrymen, wrapped in wind and snow, pounced on the unprepared Goryeo army like a tiger descending from the mountain.

"Form a line! Form a line!" the general shouted.

However, it was too late.

Eight hundred armored cavalrymen, like steel monsters, slammed into the Goryeo army's formation with the momentum of destroying the world.

The earth is shaking and the air is wailing.

The clashing of steel, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of soldiers intertwined into a symphony of death.

Yue Yun was wearing white armor and holding a ten-foot-long spear. He was like a god descending from heaven, unstoppable.

He took the lead and rushed into the enemy camp. Wherever he swung his spear, blood and flesh flew everywhere. No one could stop him.

The Goryeo soldiers were caught off guard and were instantly scattered by this torrent of steel, their formation disintegrating.

They waved their weapons in fear, but they were as powerless as children and could not stop the devastating attack.

Someone drew his bow and shot. The arrow shot towards the cavalry with great force, then bounced off softly, leaving only a faint white mark.

"Block! Block!"

General Goryeo shouted as he silently moved towards the edge of the battlefield.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, General Goryeo suddenly slapped his horse's buttocks and fled madly into the distance.

The speed was so fast that even the outer armored cavalry responsible for the encirclement could not react.

"General, a big fish escaped!" someone shouted.

Yue Yun glanced at the edge of the field and said calmly, "Don't worry about him. Let's deal with the remaining soldiers first."

A charge of 800 cavalrymen only broke up the enemy formation, and there were still thousands of Goryeo soldiers running around on the field.

However, how can human legs outrun horse legs?

The Goryeo army was composed entirely of infantry.

On the contrary, it was the Goryeo general who abandoned everyone and escaped alone. Although he did something without a mother, he had a horse.

The eight hundred cavalrymen took out their bows and crossbows and shot the fleeing soldiers to the ground one by one as if they were shooting prey.

While shooting, they shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who don't want to die, kneel on the ground!"

The Goryeo soldiers soon discovered that no matter where they fled, they would be caught up by those terrifying cavalry and then shot in the back with arrows.

Then they began to kneel down in large numbers, throwing their weapons away, and raising their hands in the air in the French salute.

The battle lasted less than an hour from start to finish.

The corpses of Goryeo soldiers were scattered all over the ground, and only those who surrendered were kneeling on the ground trembling.

The biting cold wind was still howling, and the sky and the earth were filled with a solemn atmosphere. Eight hundred Fengguo cavalrymen stood proudly on the snow.

General Goryeo could not see this scene. He rode his horse and fled madly southward, his mind blank.

The shadows of the eight hundred cavalrymen kept swaying in front of him. He was so scared that he was in a trance and just wanted to get away from here, the farther the better.

The horses entered the mountain path and passed a cave.

A tripwire suddenly rose up, and the Goryeo general was caught off guard. His horse stumbled and he fell heavily into the snow.

The helmet, sword, and seal were thrown far away, and the equipment exploded all over the ground.

Before he could stand up, a white figure rushed out from the side and hit him hard in the face with a knee.

General Goryeo's vision went dark and he fainted instantly.

"Ma Xiao, what's going on?"

Hearing the sound, two scouts ran out of the cave and looked at the Goryeo general lying unconscious on the ground in surprise.

Ma Xiao squatted on the ground, panting. Hearing this, he stood up tremblingly: "Brother Gao, Brother Zhao, I caught a tongue!"

Gao Xiaowu and Zhao Er ran over to take a look, their pupils suddenly trembled:

"My goodness, this tongue is so big, this is a general!"

"Ma Xiao, you've done a great job!"

"Really?" Ma Xiao scratched the back of his head shyly.

He had just woken up from a coma and was about to go out to urinate when he heard the sound of horse hooves.

Without time to think or call for help, he tied the lasso in his arms to a stone and lay in ambush by the roadside.

I wanted to see whether he was an enemy or a friend, but I didn't expect that they would capture a general directly!

"Let's go, this guy didn't run too far. Our team must be nearby. Tie him up and bring him over." Gao Xiaowu said excitedly.

Soon, the three men tied up General Goryeo and brought him to Yue Yun.

Yue Yun's face showed a strange expression: "Who of you caught it?"

They both looked at Ma Xiao at the same time.

Yue Yun showed appreciation: "Not bad, what's your name?"

"My subordinate Ma Xiao."

"Ma Xiao? Don't you have a real name?"

Ma Xiao shook his head: "Just call me Ma Xiao."

"How about I give you a name?" Yue Yun asked.

Ma Xiao was also smart, and he knelt on one knee without hesitation: "Thank you, General!"

"You have accomplished remarkable feats and your loyalty is commendable. How about giving yourself a single name, 'Zhong'?"

"Ma Zhong...good!" Ma Xiao said excitedly, "Ma Zhong, thank you for the name, General!"
