On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The battlefield is just around the corner.

When Ashina rushed up the last slope and saw the sparse army below, which hadn't even built any fortifications, he laughed until tears almost streamed down his face.

"She's gone mad! That Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty is absolutely insane!"

Ashina drew his broad-bladed battle axe from his waist and pointed it forward. "Warriors! Do you see those fat sheep? Charge! Smash them, leave no one alive!"

"Ow-!!"

Six thousand cavalrymen instantly entered a charging state.

Cavalry against infantry, especially in such open terrain with no cover, is practically a one-sided massacre.

The immense inertia of galloping warhorses is enough to tear any defensive line to shreds like paper.

Five hundred meters.

Four hundred meters.

In the recruit formation, the young captain felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

He could clearly see the ferocious faces of those northern cavalrymen and smell the pungent, fishy odor of their sweat.

"Stay calm! Everyone stay calm!"

He roared, his voice trembling, yet he remained steadfastly in the front row.

"No one is allowed to move unless His Highness gives the order! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

This is what Yue Fei accomplished in these three days.

Absolute discipline.

Even in the face of death, even in the face of overwhelming attacks, as long as the order is not given, they will die on the spot.

"My lord, they've entered." Murong Yan's hand was already gripping the phoenix-headed spear.

Lin Zhen looked at the Black Wolf cavalry, who had already fully entered their designated positions, and a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, we've entered. Since we're here, let's all stay."

He suddenly waved his hand, and the messenger behind him instantly gave the signal.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three sharp explosions echoed through the night sky.

"What is that?" Ashina was taken aback, a strange unease rising in his heart.

But the next moment, this unease turned into utter terror.

"kill--!!"

The previously silent left and right flanks suddenly erupted into a deafening roar of battle cries.

Yue Fei, like a golden war god, led a thousand elite troops out of the valley on the left.

Those thousand men, all clad in heavy armor and wielding long spears, gleamed with a cold luster under the moonlight.

"Yue Fei of the Great Qian Dynasty is here! Barbarians, prepare to die!"

Yue Fei took the lead, and with his horse-slaying saber, he instantly sent several Black Wolf cavalrymen charging at the forefront flying.

Immediately following, on the right flank, Zhang Xian also led a thousand elite troops, like a sharp dagger, plunging deep into the waist of the Black Wolf cavalry.

"We've fallen for their trap! There's an ambush!"

Ashina screamed as he desperately tried to rein in his horse, but the momentum of the charge from behind was too strong, and the six thousand cavalrymen were already completely packed together.

"Don't panic! Spread out to the left and right! Fight back!"

Ashina truly lived up to his reputation as a fierce general of the grasslands; he issued the correct instructions in a very short time.

But will Lin Zhen give him a chance?

"Fire arrows!"

Above the sand dunes, three thousand newly recruited archers, who had been lying in ambush, revealed their ferocious claws at this moment.

These crossbows are the latest improved repeating crossbows from the Ministry of Works of the Great Qian Dynasty. They are extremely powerful and easy to operate.

“Swish, swish, swish—!!”

A dense rain of arrows, like the Grim Reaper's scythe reaping lives, poured down on the heads of the huddled Black Wolf cavalry with a piercing whistling sound.

Screams.

The sound of horses neighing.

The sound of bones breaking.

The once orderly cavalry formation instantly transformed into a giant millstone.

The cavalry in front wanted to retreat, while the cavalry behind continued to charge forward, and Yue Fei and Zhang Xian on both sides were peeling away their lives layer by layer, like peeling an onion.

"This...this is impossible!"

Ashina watched as his personal guards fell one by one, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.

"Charge with me! Break through the frontal defenses! If we can take down that empress, we can live!"

He realized that the only way to survive was to break through the seemingly weakest of the three thousand recruits in front of him.

"kill!!"

The remaining three thousand-plus Black Wolf cavalrymen, driven by despair, unleashed astonishing fighting power. Braving a hail of arrows, they charged madly into the formation of the Daqian recruits.

……

"preparation--!"

On the front lines, the young captain's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the approaching hoofbeats.

"prick!"

Just as the first warhorse was about to collide with the spearhead, he gave the order.

"Pfft!"

Three thousand spears thrust forward simultaneously.

These are no longer training stakes, but living people, and hot blood.

The spear pierced through the horse's belly and into the enemy's chest.

The immense impact instantly ripped open the tiger's mouths of countless new recruits, causing them to bleed profusely. But not a single one retreated.

They braced their shields with their shoulders and their bodies against the spears, letting the enemy's blood splatter on their faces.

"Is this what it feels like to kill?"

The young captain looked at the northern cavalryman whose throat he had pierced, and at the life fading from the man's eyes. Suddenly, he felt the fear that had been suppressed deep within him for more than a decade completely dissipate.

Instead, there was an extreme sense of excitement.

"Brothers! The people of the Northern Desert are made of flesh and blood too! They can die too!"

"Kill them all! For our parents! For our children!"

"kill--!!"

The recruits' eyes changed.

If they were a group of ducks forced into a situation before, then now they are a pack of wolves who have just caught the scent of blood.

They are no longer just on the defensive, but have begun to actively advance.

The spears were like a forest, and with each step forward, they took away a large number of lives.

……

"My lord, it's my turn."

Murong Yan looked down at Ashina, who had fallen into despair, and a cold killing intent flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Go, my Yan'er." Lin Zhen gently patted her shoulder. "Remember to leave him with a whole body. I want to use his head to send a big gift to the Khan of the Northern Desert."

"it is good."

Murong Yan leaped down from the sand dune like a black phoenix.

The five-zhang-long skirt drew a perfect arc in the air.

At that moment, all the firelight on the battlefield seemed to converge on her.

"Ashina! Prepare to die!"

The clear, cold voice pierced through the noisy battlefield and exploded directly in Ashina's ears.

Ashina suddenly looked up and saw a dark shadow approaching from afar. The cold glint of the spear tip made his soul tremble.

"Stop her!"

He frantically swung his battle axe, trying to strike Murong Yan in mid-air.

But Murong Yan's movements were simply too fast.

With an elegant somersault in the air, her spear spun rapidly between her fingertips, sending a trail of blood flying, and instantly slicing through two intercepting cavalrymen.

"Ding!"

The battle axe and the spear collided violently.

Ashina felt an overwhelming force coming from the tip of the spear; his brute strength, which he was so proud of, seemed so insignificant at this moment.

"puff--!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood and was thrown off his horse by the shock.

Murong Yan landed steadily, her black and gold dress spreading out in the pool of blood, yet not a speck of dirt touched it.

She slowly walked toward Ashina, who was struggling to get up, the phoenix-headed spear in her hand pointing diagonally at the ground, blood dripping from the tip of the spear.

"You... what kind of monster are you...?"

Ashina stared at the woman before him with a look of utter terror.

This is hardly the pampered empress; she's clearly a demon crawling out of hell!

"monster?"

Murong Yan walked up to him, looking down at him with disdain in her eyes.

“On the land of Daqian, you are the monsters.”

"And I am the god who cleanses the monsters."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phoenix-headed spear shot out like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, instantly piercing Ashina's chest.

Ashina's body suddenly stiffened. He stared intently at Murong Yan, his lips moving, but he could no longer utter a single word.

With the fall of their leader, the remaining Black Wolf cavalry completely lost their will to fight.

They wailed and tried to escape, only to find that they were already surrounded by Yue Fei and Zhang Xian's army.

This was a complete encirclement and annihilation battle.

As the first rays of dawn appeared in the east, the entire grassland was already stained dark red with blood.

All six thousand Black Wolf cavalrymen perished.

Corpses littered the fields and rivers of blood flowed.

Three thousand new recruits stood amidst piles of corpses, their bodies covered in blood.

They were panting heavily, and although they were extremely exhausted, everyone's spine was ramrod straight.

They looked at the empress standing in the pool of blood, like a god, and at the prince standing atop the sand dune, his strategies flawless.

"Long live Daqian!"

I don't know who shouted first.

Immediately afterwards, five thousand soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shattering the morning mist and soaring into the sky.

"Long live the Great Qian Dynasty!!"

"Long live the Emperor!!"

"Long live the Prince!!"

Standing atop the sand dune, Lin Zhen looked down at the army below, which was already showing signs of becoming fierce and powerful, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

He turned his head and looked towards the distant north.

There, the outline of the Northern Kingdom was faintly visible in the morning light.

"Six thousand cavalrymen are just an appetizer."

"Next comes the main course."

He murmured softly, his eyes gleaming with an ambition that could make the whole world tremble.
