Pick up a princess to be your wife

After Liu Qian retreated more than ten steps, he immediately gathered up the remaining troops on the slope.

He initially thought it was one of their own people coming to the rescue, but then he realized that the figure on horseback was not one of their own.

Not only did he wear a ghost mask, but his skills were also extraordinary; he might even be as powerful as the leader.

"I never expected to find someone like me today," Liu Qian murmured, squinting his eyes.

"Second Master, what do we do? We're no match for them at all!" one of the bandits asked in a panic.

Liu Qian looked down the hillside and saw a dozen or so masked men who had entered the battlefield and were now harassing the regular army from the rear.

Liu Qian looked at Li Mu's back, his mind racing.

If he were one of these bandits who appeared out of nowhere, he would definitely lead his men to lure them in, wait for the bandits and the regular army to finish fighting, and then reap the benefits.

But the other party did not do that; they had even saved Liu Qian's life just now.

The other side's intention was clear: to join forces with them to eliminate these regular troops and then seize the spoils of victory.

In the battlefield below the mountain, the bandits were already at a disadvantage.

Although there were only a dozen or so like-minded people, their courage to fight their way out was a great help.

"Damn it, let's wipe out these dozens of people on the slope first, then we can harass the rear," Liu Qian said.

He quickly made up his mind to cooperate with Li Mu and the others.

Li Mu, riding on horseback, squeezed the horse's flanks with his legs, and the warhorse charged forward.

Li Mu swung his sword left and right, hacking and slashing repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, he had killed seven or eight infantrymen.

This was Li Mu's first time experiencing what it was like to be a cavalryman. Riding on horseback, his field of vision was wider and his attack range was greater.

As long as you maintain a stable stance, with the added boost from a warhorse's charge, you can cut down people much more easily than on the ground.

Cavalry truly lived up to their reputation as the kings of the battlefield during the era of cold weapons, and Li Mu now had some understanding of that.

Originally, Li Mu wanted to ride his horse to break through the encirclement, reunite with his brothers, and then harass the regular army from the rear.

But he heard shouts of killing coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw the short man leading the remaining dozens of men charging towards him.

Li Mu immediately reined in his horse, turned it around, and charged back.

The deputy general had just fled for his life, and Li Mu had killed more than ten soldiers on the slope in succession. Their morale was already somewhat collapsed.

Now they saw dozens of bandits rushing down, and they hurriedly formed a battle formation, but the formation was not stable at all.

Liu Qian picked up a narrow knife from the ground, caught up with a horse, leaped onto its back, and led the charge, brandishing the knife.

All ten riders on the slope were killed, leaving only a dozen or so infantrymen.

More bandits leaped onto their horses, forming an encirclement with dozens of bandits on the ground, surrounding a dozen or so infantrymen.

"Avenge our brothers!" Liu Qian shouted, and the bandits surged forward recklessly.

The two sides started hacking and slashing at each other in the blink of an eye.

These regular soldiers were already in low spirits, and now that they were surrounded by bandits, they had no chance of winning.

But the dozen or so people in the encirclement were still regular troops.

Seeing that they had nowhere to escape, they formed small fighting formations of three to five people and continued to fight.

After killing more than twenty bandits, the thirty regular soldiers on the hillside were completely wiped out.

Despite Li Ertie and others harassing the enemy from the rear, the bandits still did not have the upper hand on the battlefield down the slope.

The regular army's formation was quite solid; if someone was killed in the rear, someone would immediately take their place.

But the bandits' morale soared when they saw Liu Qian break through the encirclement.

Xiao Yunfei was hesitant to act rashly, and after seeing his men on the slope all wiped out, he dared not rush out again.

The regular army, which still held the advantage, was unexpectedly surrounded by bandits.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yunfei felt his head spin.

If he hadn't been held back by the coachman and Silver Iron, he wouldn't have been able to fight so miserably in this encounter.

He could have won the battle with just a few charges, but he could only resort to defense as a form of offense.

The fighting in the rear was even more intense than that in the front.

Those dozen or so masked guys, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, were all incredibly fierce.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yunfei noticed that those guys wearing masks actually had helmets behind their masks!

He soon discovered that those people not only had helmets, but were also wearing armor.

The regular troops in the rear seemed unable to withstand the attack of a dozen or so men, and their casualties were even faster than those in the front.

As a stray arrow flew past Xiao Yunfei's ear, he realized that those guys wearing full armor were even equipped with crossbows!

However, Xiao Yunfei's men did not possess any ranged weapons.

If they continue fighting like this, no matter how solid the defense is, those dozen or so people will eventually break through the defensive formation.

Xiao Yunfei, who originally had the upper hand, wanted to defend and slowly wear down the opponent's manpower.

Even if we can't annihilate the enemy, we can at least inflict so many casualties on them that they will retreat.

But now, Xiao Yunfei could actually smell a hint of defeat.

Those bandits are damn cunning!

A defensive strategy is unlikely to work; the front lines can withstand the pressure, but the rear cannot.

They must act quickly now.

Xiao Yunfei drew his broadsword, aimed at the shirtless Zhai Fei, and charged forward with his sword.

At this moment, Zhai Fei alone killed more than twenty regular soldiers, including at least ten cavalrymen.

He was so engrossed in the battle that he didn't even notice that the battle line his brothers had built with their lives was about to collapse.

At this moment, Xiao Yunfei rode up on horseback, his broadsword blocking Zhai Fei's lance.

Before Zhai Fei could react, he was forced back several steps by Xiao Yunfei's broadsword.

Xiao Yunfei's face was cold and stern as he continued to ride forward, swinging his sword at Zhai Fei.

"Fuck you!"

Zhai Fei was furious. After letting out a fierce shout, he leaped into the air.

With the force of a thousand soldiers being swept away, he swung his lance toward Xiao Yunfei.

Xiao Yunfei executed a "scooping the moon from the seabed" move, slashing his broadsword at the horse spear.

"Keng~"

The two weapons clashed together.

At this moment, Xiao Yunfei felt a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth, and it actually split open.

The broadsword in his hand flew backward in an arc and stuck diagonally into the ground.

Xiao Yunfei himself couldn't withstand the huge impact and flew backward off the horse, rolling twice on the ground before getting up.

He decisively retrieved his broadsword and looked at Zhai Fei.

"You dare to challenge a horse spear with a broadsword? You must be a little crazy!"

Seeing Xiao Yunfei fall off his horse, Zhai Fei grabbed his spear and charged straight at him.

If he could take down this kid, these regular troops would completely collapse, and his gains tonight would be maximized.

Hundreds of brothers have died; he is determined to kill Xiao Yunfei and avenge his brothers!
