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

The city gate was in a mess.

Sweat and blood mixed with mud, reflecting a dirty light in the dim light.

With the combined efforts of more than a dozen strong soldiers using crowbars and their bloody hands, the last stuck stone was finally moved away with great difficulty.

More soldiers brought loads of soil and spread it on the road.

A passage that was barely wide enough for ten riders to ride side by side was finally exposed to the sunlight outside the city.

Almost all the infantrymen in charge of the cleanup were exhausted and sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

Their hands were torn and raw by the rough stones and wooden splinters, and the intense pain made their bodies tremble uncontrollably.

However, the soldiers looked at the passage that had just been opened with relief in their eyes.

Soon, the heavy sound of horse hooves came from afar.

Yelu He rode his horse to the entrance of the passage. He glanced at the figures slumped on both sides of the passage, and a feeling of admiration arose spontaneously.

He pulled the reins, and the horse stood up and let out a long neigh.

Yelu He slowly raised his hand, and the visor was pulled down with a "click", covering his face.

Thousands of armored cavalrymen behind him moved in unison, their cold metal visors falling one after another.

Only a pair of eyes burning with fighting spirit were left, exposed outside the full suit of armor.

Yelu He's voice resounded loudly through the visor, echoing throughout the passage:

"Brothers of the infantry, spared no blood to carve a path for my cavalry. Armored cavalry—"

He pounded his fist on the breastplate, making a clanging sound.

"Greetings to my comrades!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Thousands of armored cavalrymen clashed with each other at the same time, and the dull clanging sounds were uniform and resonant.

The exhausted Fengtian Army infantrymen heard the sound and struggled to stand up.

They all straightened their backs, raised their arms, which were still able to move, to their foreheads, and responded with the new military salute of the Fengtian Army.

Yelu He's eyes swept over his comrades, the fighting spirit in his chest erupting like a volcano:

"Our brothers in the city are bleeding! His Highness is watching us!"

He raised the scimitar in his hand, his voice hoarse with excitement: "This battle! This battle will decide the outcome! There is death, there is no life, there is advance, there is no retreat, there is..."

A cold voice interrupted Yelu He's roar without any courtesy.

"Stop talking so much! Go in!"

A nameless anger surged in Yelu He's heart.

Who? Who dares to interrupt my morale-boosting call at this moment?!

He suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at the source of the sound through the gap in his visor.

I saw a knight covered in heavy black armor appearing in the queue behind me.

The armor was of exquisite style and far superior to that of ordinary armored cavalry.

The person who came also pulled down his visor, so his face could not be seen clearly.

But this person's figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree, and the scarlet cloak behind him was covered with dragon patterns. A profound and majestic aura instantly enveloped him.

This feeling... is so familiar.

Yelu He's anger was extinguished as if by ice water, and he quickly looked towards the back of the formation.

Sure enough, the old man Wen Zaiyin was being pinned down on an old horse by Qiu Bai and Qu Jinshan.

The old man was so angry that his beard was sticking up and his face was ashen. He was glaring at this side, his lips moving as if he was cursing.

"You...what's wrong with you?" Yelu He's voice changed.

The Black Armor Knight raised his hand and opened his visor with a click, his face showing a long-suppressed excitement.

"Stop talking nonsense! Follow me and charge in!" Li Che stared intently at the war-torn city of Kyoto. "How can I be absent from the Battle of Kyoto?"

Many armored cavalrymen felt a surge of blood rushing to their heads, and their fighting spirit instantly increased tenfold.

Your Highness! It was Your Highness who came in person!

His Highness, you are fighting alongside me. What an honor! What a trust!

"As you command!" Yelu He turned his horse and shouted to the cavalrymen behind him, who were trembling with excitement, "Your Highness has given the order! Charge in!"

"kill--"

Thousands of cavalrymen roared in anger, shaking the earth.

Li Che took the lead, spurring the warhorse under his crotch, and rushed into the passage like a black lightning.

Yelu He followed closely behind, followed by thousands of armored cavalry, who poured in like a black torrent bursting through a dam!

Ta da da - da da da -

Heavy horse hooves stepped on the passage, and the narrow space gathered the sound of the hooves and amplified it.

The entire city gate was shaking violently, with gravel and dust falling down.

The Fengtian Army infantry in the city had already received orders. When the sound of horse hooves came from deep in the city gate, the Fengtian Army infantry immediately retreated from several main roads as quickly as a tide, relying on the houses and alleys on both sides to continue to clear out the remaining enemies.

The wide main road leading to the palace was cleared in an instant.

At this moment, the Japanese troops on the main roads in Kyoto were completely confused.

What happened? Why did the Fengtian Army suddenly withdraw while fighting?

Coming from the city gate...what is that sound?

Until the black steel torrent rushed out of the narrow city gate and appeared on the wide main road of Kyoto.

The Japanese army finally came to their senses.

Black armor like a tide! Long spears like a forest!

The sound of horse hooves drowned out all the noise, filling the entire street like a long dragon.

"Ride...it's the cavalry!"

"The Fengtian Army's armored cavalry has entered the city!"

"Quick! Pull the barges over, spearmen, move forward, stop them!"

"Run-"

The Japanese finally woke up from their dream, and the samurai shouted orders to the foot soldiers and civilians to organize a defense line, but the great fear had already crushed the Japanese will to resist.

They dropped their weapons and fled in all directions, crying and screaming like headless flies.

However, the sides of the wide main road, the alley entrances and corners had already been blocked by Fengtian Army infantry.

late!

It's too late!

Li Che took the lead, the spear in his hand emitting a cold light.

A Japanese general tried to stop them with his sword, but was pinned to the city wall by Li Che's spear as their horses crossed each other.

The speed was too fast, and blood spurted out like a fountain, but not a drop splashed on his black armor.

Yelu He followed closely behind, his scimitar drawing an arc of death, and heads rolled everywhere he passed.

Thousands of armored cavalry, with Li Che as the vanguard, formed a terrifying wedge-shaped charge formation.

They didn't even need to swing their swords and chop. The terrifying kinetic energy brought by their horses' full-speed charge was enough to crush anything that stood in their way.

The steel torrent is unstoppable!

The Japanese who stood in front of the iron hooves were all knocked away in an instant.

Then, the heavy horse hooves stepped on the human body like a huge hammer, making a bone-breaking sound that made your teeth ache.

Countless figures fell like wheat straw, and were then ruthlessly buried by the iron hooves that followed.

The entire main road instantly turned into a road of death paved with blood, flesh and broken bones.

Wherever thousands of cavalrymen passed, only devastation was left on the ground.

The bodies of the Japanese were trampled beyond recognition, blood flowed freely on the bluestone road like a stream, and the strong smell of blood almost solidified into substance.

Li Che took the lead, his black armor drenched in blood, his gaze piercing through the chaotic battlefield and fixed on the depths of Kyoto - the Japanese Imperial Palace.

Horse riding on Kyoto!

Sword pointed at the Imperial Palace!

The war to annihilate the country finally reached its climax!
