Four thousand heavily armored cavalrymen charged into the Tuoba tribe's cavalry formation. They didn't even need to do much; they only needed to maintain their formation and keep their spears level.
Wherever they went, it was like crushing withered grass; the weapons of the steppe people could not even pierce the thick iron armor.
When the scimitar struck the armor, it only produced a few sparks.
"Keep pushing!"
Four thousand heavily armored cavalrymen, like a sharp awl, plunged deep into the Tuoba tribe's formation.
Qin Yuanba was the vanguard, clad in black armor and wielding a black spear, unstoppable, almost piercing through the Tuoba tribe's cavalry formation.
"The Azure Wolf Cavalry and the Imperial Guards will encircle us from both the left and right flanks."
Lin Xuan calmly issued the order.
"boom--"
As the third drumbeat sounded, eight thousand Canglang cavalrymen charged out from the Yanjun camp, each wielding a spear. Wutugu was the most valiant, charging into the enemy ranks with a single sword, cutting down both men and horses who tried to stop him.
"kill!"
Xue Toutuo was equally formidable, charging forward like a humanoid beast, his spear scattering severed limbs and remains everywhere.
The Eight Hundred Battalion cut the Tuoba tribe's army in two, and the Canglang Cavalry and the Fubing (a type of military unit) completed a pincer attack and encirclement from the left and right.
"Black Armor Army, advance!"
Lin Xuan gave the order.
"boom--"
As the fourth drumbeat sounded, the battle flags fluttered in the wind.
"Brothers, it's our turn."
Meng Jiao leaped onto his horse and spat on the ground.
Xuanjia Army
They can charge into battle and seize flags when mounted, and become fierce infantrymen when dismounted.
"kill!"
"Crush the Tuoba tribe."
Meng Jiao and Tian Hu led the Xuanjia Army to charge the Tuoba tribe's army formation from the front, tearing a gap in the formation before splitting into two groups.
They rushed to the aid of the Canglang cavalry and the government troops on both sides.
The besieged Tuoba tribe cavalry completely lost the mobility advantage of light cavalry and could only spin around in place.
One after another, the broadswords mercilessly reaped the lives of the grassland warriors, their armor gradually becoming soaked with blood.
How could the Hu people, who had lost their speed and relied solely on leather armor and scimitars, possibly contend with the fully armored iron cavalry of Yan County?
"The victory is already secured."
Although the fighting had not yet stopped, Lin Xuan had already come to a conclusion—the Tuoba tribe's cavalry was being constantly divided and devoured, and would eventually be annihilated.
The air was thick with the smell of blood, and the smoke from the fire rose and swirled like a dragon soaring into the sky.
The fierce battle lasted for two hours, and the Tuoba tribe's army suffered increasingly heavy casualties, with deserters beginning to appear.
In a battle between two armies, if one side collapses first, it signifies utter defeat.
at this time
The soldiers of Yan County were in high spirits, covered in blood, like demons from hell. Meng Jiao, Tian Hu, Zhang Wei, Xue Toutuo, Wutugu, and Qin Yuanba were all invincible generals, charging into battle and killing enemies as easily as cutting vegetables.
The fastest advancing force was the heavy cavalry led by Qin Yuanba, who were only a few hundred paces away from the Tuoba tribe's royal tent.
"Brothers, let's slay generals, seize flags, and establish our glory now!"
Qin Yuanba pierced through the attacking Tuoba cavalry with his spear, and with a flick of his wrist, flung the corpse away.
With enemies all around, the heavily armored cavalry lost their charging speed and could no longer exert their full potential.
Qin Yuanba dismounted and led his heavy infantry forward. The soldiers behind him followed suit, wielding spears and fearlessly charging toward the royal tent.
"We can't let him steal the credit!"
Wutugu was enraged. He cleaved the Tuoba cavalryman blocking his way with a single blow, his body covered in blood. He swung his long sword in a wide arc, killing anyone who touched him instantly.
"He's quite clever."
Under the command tent, Lin Xuan nodded slightly.
Back in the days of Beiliang, he always charged ahead, beheading enemy generals and seizing flags, taking the head of the enemy commander from among thousands of troops as easily as reaching out to pick something up.
Unexpectedly, after arriving in Yan County, he found himself a leisurely life.
As a superior, he does not need to compete with his subordinates for credit; in Beiliang, he needed military merits, but now it is the time for his soldiers to crave battle achievements.
As for the Killing God Points that could be obtained by charging into battle, they were no longer of any importance to Lin Xuan.
Just as the Tuoba tribe's royal tent was about to fall, several powerful auras suddenly emerged, and four figures flew out.
Three of them blocked the surrounding Yan cavalry, while the remaining members of the Tuoba tribe protected the royal tent and retreated.
The last person suddenly charged out from the midst of the thousands of troops, leaping into the air and crossing a hundred feet in several leaps, heading straight for Lin Xuan.
The soaring aura swept across the surroundings, and the surging internal energy surged like a tide. The newcomer was a man in his forties, dressed in a white robe, with the appearance of a scholar.
His two massive palms were invincible; with a casual slap, he shattered more than ten heavily armored cavalrymen charging towards him.
"How dare you!"
"Protect the adults."
"Stop him!"
Wutugu's eyes widened in anger, and the weapon in his hand flew out, aiming straight for the man's back.
"Step back."
The man in white robes suddenly turned around, his gaze chilling, and with a surge of true energy, he sent his weapon flying.
The powerful true energy swept out, and Wutugu was also shaken back several steps.
"Save your life."
Meng Jiao spurred his horse forward, his long sword slashing down from the sky, but only struck the afterimage—the man had already flashed ten feet away, avoiding the attack.
Tian Hu and Hu Yanlie rushed towards the man at the same time, but were pushed back by his palm force and could only watch helplessly as he approached the commander's tent.
"Give me your life!"
Qin Yuanba's face turned red as he threw his iron spear, but it was still deflected by the man's protective inner energy.
In the blink of an eye
The white-robed man had already entered within ten feet of Lin Xuan, but he did not see the slightest fear on the face of the Yan County Prefect.
On the contrary, Lin Xuan's eyes were full of amusement—he never expected that one day he would become someone else's target for defeating generals and seizing flags.
"laugh--"
A cold, sharp sword light suddenly burst forth, tearing through the air and slicing through the autumn wind, causing the hairs on the man's body to stand on end.
The sword energy rushed towards him, forcing him to stop—if he went any further, he would surely be cut in two by this sword.
Swords and palms clashed, sword energy burst forth, but the next moment, two figures darted out from behind Lin Xuan.
Da Pan'er held the Frost Sword, and two colorful ribbons infused with true energy from his sleeve shot out as sharp as swords.
Yan Ri wielded his ancient sword and slashed down from mid-air, then leaped forward to strike.
Three figures clashed, and in just a few moves, Da Pan'er and Yan Ri joined forces to force back this powerful Tuoba tribe member.
The man in white robes landed ten feet away, his face solemn; Dapan'er and Yanri stood to the left and right of Lin Xuan respectively.
"Step down."
Lin Xuan stood up and casually waved his hand, and the two immediately stepped aside.
"State your name."
His gaze fell on the man in white robes.
A dying man is unworthy to know my name.
The man in white responded coldly.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"laugh--"
The swallow-shaped sword at his waist was drawn, flashing a sharp, cold light. The white-robed man's pupils contracted sharply, and the hairs on his body stood on end. The danger of death loomed over him.
The chilling killing intent made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. At the critical moment of life and death, he unleashed both palms, his true energy surging forth.
However, the next second
A chill ran down the man's throat, and a look of terror appeared on his face.
Everything has come to an end.
Internal force dissipated
The palm force was not released
His arms hung down, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
"boom"
A few breaths later, the man collapsed to the ground, a line of blood on his throat standing out starkly.
"Not much ability, but quite the boast."
Lin Xuan flicked his wrist, twirled the sword, and sheathed it.
"Ding, congratulations host, you have killed a Grandmaster of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and gained 500,000 Killing God Points."
One expert at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm is equivalent to three or four experts at the Profound Point Realm.
No wonder the Tuoba tribe was able to contend with the Duoyan tribe for many years; it turns out that the tribe had a Celestial Realm expert in charge.
unfortunately
A Celestial Realm expert couldn't save the Tuoba tribe, nor could he stop his advance.

"Suppress."
With the banner of the commander Lin fluttering in the wind, the Tuoba tribe was routed, and the remaining troops could only flee in panic towards the Misang River area.
"Suppress."
Tian Hu, Xue Toutuo, Meng Jiao, and others leaped onto their horses, leading their elite cavalry in a swift pursuit.
As the sun sets, its golden rays fall upon the battlefield at the foot of Cansang Mountain, where wisps of crimson smoke rise like a dark, blood-soaked sea.
As dusk fell like fire, Lin Xuan mounted his horse and led over a thousand guards, calmly advancing with the army.
The Yan cavalry charged for dozens of miles, raining down arrows and staining their blades red, leaving the corpses of Hu people scattered along the way.
They pursued the Tuoba tribe all the way to the banks of the Misang River, forcing them into the turbulent waters before stopping and turning back.
When Lin Xuan led his troops to the riverbank, they saw that the river water had been soaked in crimson, and countless corpses floated on the waves, arrowheads still embedded in their bodies.
"Can we capture Tuoba Gui?"
Lin Xuan asked.
"Never."
Tian Hu spat angrily: "That old thief, seeing that the situation was hopeless, abandoned his entire army and fled from the rocky beach."
"Meng Jiao has already sent men to pursue him."
"You lead the troops to provide support."
"If you encounter the forces of the three Doyan tribes, do not engage them; retreat immediately."
Lin Xuan gave instructions.
"Yes, ma'am."
Tian Hu brandished his sword and led the Xuanjia Army swiftly along the rocky beach, forcibly crossing the Misang River to continue their pursuit of Tuoba Gui.
"Head towards Luanshi City."
He spurred his horse and galloped northward for dozens of miles, until he saw a small town in the distance.
They were already completely surrounded by the Azure Wolf Riders.
"General."
Wutugu stepped forward and pointed to the city: "The princess of the Tuoba tribe is in the city."
56: Tuoba Yu'er and the Three Guards of the Thousand Oxen
"Could it be that pearl of the grasslands? Tuoba Yu'er?"
Lin Xuan asked a question.
"Exactly."
Wutugu said, "That old thief Tuoba Gui has been terrified by our army, and has even abandoned Luanshi City and his own daughter."
Looking around, one could still see many Tuoba soldiers on the city wall, holding bows and swords, holding their ground and refusing to retreat.
He asked, "How many people are left in the city?"
Wutugu replied, "At most several thousand."
"Before dawn tomorrow, I will surely conquer Luanshi City and present the pearl of the grasslands, Tuoba Yu'er, to the general."
Wutugu whipped his horse and rode away.
"Waaah—waaah—"
The bugles sounded, arrows rained down like locusts, and the valiant Canglang cavalry launched a charge, while the Tuoba defenders on the city walls fought back fiercely.
The city of Luanshi has become an isolated fortress, backed by the natural barrier of Misang, with no way to retreat.
To survive, the only option was to leap into the raging torrent, but patrols from Yan County also roamed both banks.
Countless lives were lost to the flying arrows.
Lin Xuan ascended the high hill opposite Luan Shi City, and ordered his men to raise the commander's flag, with the large banner bearing the character "Lin" fluttering in the wind.
Inside the castle
The burly Tuoba general led two squads of cavalry into the mansion.
"Princess."
The cavalry general, covered in blood, knelt on one knee: "This humble general will protect Your Majesty and help you break through the encirclement."
"Where to?"
Fuchu
Pearl of the Grasslands
Princess of the Tuoba Tribe
Tuoba Yu'er's face was pale
"The entire grassland was filled with the iron cavalry of Yan County."
"Is it possible for us to break through?"
"Princess, rest assured, even if it costs me my life, I will escort you out of the city."
The cavalry general's expression was resolute.
"Has my father fallen into the hands of the Yan army?"
"Never."
The cavalry general said, "The king has led his personal guards across the river at Luanshi Beach and fled to the territory of the three Doyan tribes."
"As long as the king is still alive, the Tuoba tribe will surely be able to rise again in the future."
"To regroup and make a comeback?"
Tuoba Yu'er shook her head: "Now, everything west of the Misang River belongs to the Yan people."
How many warriors do we have left?
The cavalry general gritted his teeth: "There are less than two thousand men in the city who can fight; the rest are all old, weak, women, and children."
In the Battle of Cansang Mountain, our army was defeated by Yan County, and the soldiers scattered and fled.
"Thirty thousand iron cavalry."
Tuoba Yu'er's gaze was unfocused as she asked herself in a low voice, "Thirty thousand elite cavalrymen were defeated by the Yan County army in just a few hours."
"Take me to the city wall."
"It's dangerous on the city wall."
"lead the way."
She straightened her robes, her expression resolute, and walked onto the rocky city wall under the protection of the cavalry general.
As dusk settled, smoke billowed everywhere, and the firelight illuminated the sky.
Looking across the grasslands, one could see the figures of Yan County cavalry everywhere, and the remains of Tuoba tribesmen were scattered across the wilderness.
The waters of the Missang River were also stained dark red with blood.
Outside the chaotic city
The cavalry charged like surging waves, their arrows blotting out the sky, and Tuoba soldiers fell to the ground, one after another struck by arrows.
There is no hope left.
Tuoba Yu'er whispered
"No."
"As long as the princess and the king are still alive, the Tuoba tribe has hope."
