In the sixth month of the second year of Jingping in the Wu Dynasty, the situation in the world was in a temporary period of stability and recovery. Search: \(¨Finished¨Book¨God¨Station¨) to read high-quality literature for free.

After the Jurchens captured Bianliang and plundered a large number of slaves and resources before returning north, they were digesting and classifying these resources. Zhang Bangchang, the "Great Chu" emperor who was forced onto the throne by the Jurchens, did not dare to covet the throne. After the Jurchens left, he abandoned Bianliang and went south with a large number of court officials, intending to choose the remaining members of the Wu Dynasty's imperial clan as the new emperor.

The departure of the Jurchens did not stabilize the situation in the north. North of the Yellow River was already turbulent. Many Wu Dynasty people, sensing the unusual situation, began to migrate south with their families, the ripe wheat slightly slowing down their departure.

As for the many wealthy families north of the Yellow River, those who could leave, left. Those who couldn't, began to plan for the future. Some colluded with surrounding armies, while others began to support military force and build private armies to save the country. Some did it for personal gain, some for the public good, but most were out of helplessness. Such local forces gradually took shape in the northern land, with the court turning a blind eye.

Everyone could see that after the Jurchens' two southward invasions, even capturing Bianliang, the Wu Dynasty no longer had substantial control over the area south of Yanmen Pass and north of the Yellow River. They might be able to control the narrative for a while, but once the Jurchens came, the morale of the local army and the people in this area had been shattered, and there was no possibility of holding on.

The wheat was about to be harvested, and the rice was almost ready. The emperor who was about to ascend the throne became a new hope in the hearts of the people. After the Wu Dynasty experienced such great humiliation, they hoped that he could select virtuous and capable officials, work hard to govern, and revitalize the country. With the removal of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and other forces that had entrenched themselves in the court for many years, the remaining court of the Wu Dynasty did indeed have the possibility and space for revitalization. A large number of scholars and warriors began to run around again, hoping to gain merit from supporting the new emperor and display their ambitions. Even many who had originally lived in seclusion, seeing the country in danger, had come out of the mountains, wanting to contribute ideas and strategies to revitalize the Wu Dynasty.

During this period, people chose roughly two directions. One was Yingtian Prefecture, east of Bianliang, and the other was Jiangning, on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

At this time, after the ravages of the Jurchens, the original capital of the Wu Dynasty, Bianliang, was already a mess. The city walls were damaged, and a large number of defensive works were destroyed. In fact, the Jurchens left in April because there were too many dead people in Bianliang, and an epidemic had begun to appear. This ancient city was no longer suitable as a capital, and some northern officials preferred Yingtian Prefecture, which was serving as the secondary capital of the Wu Dynasty, to rebuild the court. On the other hand, Prince Kang Zhou Yong, who was about to ascend the throne, originally resided in Jiangning Prefecture. Everyone was now watching to see where the core of the new court would be placed.

In this vast world, the Wu Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty were the two central powers. Ambitious people and powerful figures came and went, waiting for the next change in the situation, observing the renewed game between the two great powers. The people, in this narrow space of slight peace, hoped that a longer period of peace could continue. In a marginal area that was not the focus of mainstream attention, a battle was taking place.

Northwest, Qingzhou, Dongzhiyuan, the oldest birthplace of Chinese agricultural civilization, was boundless. The iron hooves galloped like thunder.

It was a cloudy day. Armored cavalry charged like a giant wall!

Ping Mountain Iron Falcons (Tie Yao Zi).

One of the most terrifying heavy cavalry in history, the foundation of the Western Xia Dynasty. The heavy cavalry, numbering around three thousand, with both men and horses clad in iron armor, was established by Li Yuanhao, the king of Western Xia. It symbolized not only the strongest military force of Western Xia but also the nobility and traditional symbols of the Tangut people. Three thousand sets of iron armor were passed down from father to son, generation after generation. They were nobles, officers, and the foundation of the nation.

For Meile, the commander of the Iron Falcons, this battle was not the most difficult situation the Iron Falcons had encountered. It was just an ordinary skirmish. The bandit army that came out of the mountains had angered Li Qian Shun. More than 70,000 troops in the Western Xia camp had already begun to move eastward, but they were not coming for this army. After losing Yanzhou, the Western Xia high command had to abandon the plan to advance further west immediately, stabilize the war gains that had already been digested in the important juncture of wheat harvesting, and avoid being picked off by the Zhe Family Army hiding on the side.

Before this, Western Xia had been suppressed by the Zhong family for twenty years. Li Qian Shun was able to expand the situation in the northwest in one battle, and Western Xia faintly showed signs of revival. However, such momentum was only halfway through when someone stabbed them in the back. One can imagine the anger in Li Qian Shun's heart.

Over the years, because of the Iron Falcons' combat power, Western Xia had developed more than three thousand cavalry, but the real elite was still this noble force at the core of the Iron Falcons. Li Qian Shun sent Meile out to settle the rear chaos in one battle, so that many villains would not dare to cause trouble. Since leaving the Western Xia camp, Meile led his cavalry without any delay, crushing all the way towards Yanzhou.

On the morning of June 23rd, the two armies met on the edge of Dongzhiyuan.

Neither the cavalry nor the Black Flag Army (Hei Qi Jun) rushing towards them slowed down. At the end of their vision, the two armies could see each other extending like black lines. The sky was gloomy, the flags were fluttering, and the scout cavalry had already experienced several battles before seeing the main force of the other side. After the defeat in Yanzhou, the Iron Falcons traveled east and encountered defeated soldiers coming from the east. They also knew that this army of ten thousand that came out of the mountains was a genuine and formidable enemy.

This knowledge did not have much impact on the Iron Falcons' generals. Realizing that the other side was bravely charging towards them, besides saying they were bold, they could only say that this army had been dizzy from repeated victories. He wasn't without doubts in his heart. To avoid the other side doing anything with the terrain, Meile ordered the entire army to detour five li, change direction, and then slowly charge towards the other side.

They saw that at the end of their vision, the Black Flag Army's formations were strict and orderly. The front row of long spears stood tall, and the soldiers in the front row held huge horse-slaying blades, walking towards the Iron Falcons step by step, their pace as regular as if stepping on a heartbeat.

When the two armies were facing each other like this, besides charging, there weren't many choices for the generals—at least, the Iron Falcons especially had no choice.

Many things are decided without giving people too much time. Everything in these days was fast-paced. The Black Flag Army's descent on Yanzhou was an incredibly fast pace, their march all the way was an incredibly fast pace, Meile's attack was an incredibly fast pace, and the encounter between the two sides also fell into this rhythm. The other side set up a welcoming formation without any hesitation, their morale high. As heavy cavalry, the Iron Falcons, facing a formation mainly composed of infantry on the Dongzhiyuan terrain, if they chose to hesitate, then they wouldn't have to fight anymore.

Moreover, the Western Xia Iron Falcons' battle tactics have never been that elaborate. Once they encounter an enemy, they gather in small teams and launch a charge towards the enemy's formation. In terrain that isn't too harsh, no army can withstand the crushing force of this heavy cavalry head-on.

The horn sounded in the enemy formation, first lighting the fuse. Meile's eyes sharpened, and he waved his hand to give the order. Immediately, the Western Xia army sounded the charge. The iron hooves flew, faster and faster, like a giant wall, thousands of cavalry raised the dust on the ground, the sound of hooves rumbling, coming like an avalanche.

The front ranks were about to step into arrow range. Meile vaguely saw the opposite army running away to the rear, and he felt something was wrong. But at this distance, if there were any traps in front, the Iron Falcons were not without the ability to change formation or directly charge through. And the other side turning around meant their spirit had been lost. Once the distance was covered, the other side would experience a massacre. In the past, he had seen enemies who were so whimsical as to have their army turn around and push obstacles out, but they usually died faster.

Something flew into the sky and then fell down...

**************

Half an hour earlier, Black Flag Army.

Gao Lei advanced, rubbing the tip of his spear with a stone chip in his hand. At this time, the spear was so sharp that it could reflect light.

Front, back, left, and right, were all running companions. He handed the stone chip in his hand to the companion next to him, who also unloaded the spearhead and waved it for polishing.

They all knew that soon they would face the Western Xia Iron Falcons.

"I killed three people in Yanzhou." The sound of the whetstone intersecting with the spear tip was clear and cold. The companion next to him wiped it a few times and handed the stone chip to the person on the other side, speaking to Gao Lei, "Do you think we can kill an Iron Falcon this time?"

"After Xia Village, who have we been afraid of?" Gao Lei said in a low voice, his voice muffled. At this time, his blood vessels were moving throughout his body, and he felt a throbbing in his head, and his vision trembled slightly. Running was purely instinct. Almost everyone around him was like this. It was impossible not to run.

Since they killed their way through Yanzhou, they would next face not some miscellaneous soldiers, but this heavy cavalry famous throughout the world. Everyone had a sense of tension in their hearts, but there was also a sense of pride in the tension: maybe we can really suppress this heavy cavalry.

The feeling of facing the Jurchens outside Bianliang City had faded, and besides, everyone around them was running away at that time. Even facing the strongest army in the world, people didn't really have a concept of how strong they were. After Xia Village, everyone probably had some proud emotions in their hearts. When they broke through Yanzhou this time, everyone's emotions were a bit of a surprise. They never thought that they had become so strong.

This strong confidence was not blindly obtained because of individual bravery, but because they all understood in the simple lessons of Xiao Canghe that the strength of an army comes from the combined strength of everyone, their trust in each other, so it is strong. And now, when the results of the Yanzhou battle were in front of them, they had also begun to imagine what level of strength this group they belonged to had reached.

Therefore, even if they were going to face the Iron Falcons next, everyone was rushing forward with slight tension, but more with fanaticism and caution.

Look around, everyone is here!

Regarding tactics, the crowd had been repeatedly scrutinizing with their officers since three days prior. As for cooperation on the battlefield, they had already done it in Xiao Canghe's training. In the march of these two or three days, even the lowest-ranking soldiers of the Black Flag Army had chewed over the possible situations dozens of times in their hearts.

When the army arrived, Gao Lei rushed forward as planned. He

was in the row behind the horse-slaying blades. In the rear, the horse team came winding, and the soldiers of the Special Forces Regiment quickly dismounted, opened the boxes, and began to arrange. More people poured up from the rear and began to shrink the entire formation.

The Iron Falcons changed their direction of attack, and Gao Lei and the others also ran and changed direction. Even with the deduction of the change of formation, Gao Lei still tightly grasped the spear in his hand, posing in an impeccable posture facing the warhorse.

"...The battlefield situation is ever-changing. If there is a problem in the rear, and you can't change the formation, can you as the front row still retreat? If the support provided by your comrades behind you can't defeat the Iron Falcons, do you still have the confidence to face them!? Do you rely on your comrades or yourself!?"

This was what the people above repeatedly emphasized in the deductions of the past few days. Everyone was also psychologically prepared, and at the same time had confidence that there would not be a coward in this army formation. Even if they didn't change the formation, they were confident that they would overturn the Iron Falcons, because only by overturning them was the only way out!

Standing in the second row, the huge army formation had taken shape, and the existence of individuals was insignificant in the field of vision. In front, the iron cavalry came flying. The formation of thousands of cavalry stretched for hundreds of feet, constantly accelerating, like a giant wall, shaking the wilderness. The Western Xia Iron Falcons heavy cavalry were not linked horses. They did not connect to each other with hooks, but on each iron cavalry, the armor of the warhorse and the knight were intertwined with each other. Under such a charge, even if the knight on the horseback had died, the warhorse under him would still carry the corpse and follow the large army to charge. It was such a charge that made it difficult for any army in the world to confront head-on.

Blood surged in the body like burning, and the order to retreat also came. He grabbed the spear, turned and ran out with the queue. Something flew high over their heads.

That thing fell forward. Before the horse team rushed over, a huge explosion of flames rose up. An Iron Falcon rushed through the exploding flames unscathed. Thousands of cavalry shook the ground. Several packages were still flying in the sky. Gao Lei stopped again. When he turned around, his position was already full of long things, and among them, there were several iron circular barrels, facing the sky at an elevation angle. The first thing that was shot out was the package in this big barrel.

The second package fell into the horse team, followed by the third and fourth. The huge air waves impacted and spread. At that moment, the space seemed to be deforming. Gao Lei stood there holding a spear and looked forward. He still couldn't see anything, but someone in the rear next to him was shouting: "Get out! Get out! Get further away..." Gao Lei turned his head, and then felt a loud noise coming. His head was dazed, his vision was shaking, and there was a buzzing noise. When he looked forward again, his ears could no longer hear the sound.

More than a hundred elm wood cannons fired almost at the same time!

On the opposite side, when the first package fell and exploded, Meile in the army formation suddenly relaxed. The Iron Falcons were not afraid of the Wu Dynasty's firearms. The iron armor on their bodies was not afraid of the explosion's air waves, and the warhorses that had experienced many battles were not afraid of the sudden explosion. But the next moment, terrible things appeared.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—

Countless explosions sounded almost at the same time, impacting and coming. On the giant wall hundreds of feet long, countless flowers bloomed. The explosion's air waves, black smoke, flying debris, mixed flesh and blood, and iron armor, instantly like a giant wave suddenly gathered, it expanded, rose, rose, and swelled into a monstrous force in front of everyone, swallowing the entire front of the Iron Falcons.

The first and second rows had been swallowed, and the cavalry in the third, fourth, and fifth rows were still speeding in, turning into that giant wall in the blink of an eye. According to past experience, it was just a barrier of smoke and dust.

Iron Falcon squad leader Nage roared and rushed into the dim area. The moment his vision narrowed, something slammed towards his head, and with a clang, it was knocked away by his high speed and flew backwards. However, in a fleeting glance, it looked like a severed hand with iron armor. Before his mind could react, something exploded behind him. The sound was swallowed by the air waves, and he felt the warhorse under him fly up slightly—this was something that shouldn't have happened.

The huge impact came in the next moment. The warhorse and him slammed on the ground together, and one man and one horse flew far forward. He was pressed down by the warhorse, and the pain and numbness were almost two sensations that existed at the same time in his entire lower body. He had rushed out of that barrier. The earth that had been ruled by the sound of hooves in the previous moment had now been replaced by another sound. He lay there, wanting to struggle. In the last vision, he saw the magnificent scene like countless flowers blooming...
