At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne
Chapter 391: Bloody Battle at Osprey Stream
Chapter 391: Bloody Battle at Osprey Stream
“Zhuge Shou.”
“The end will be here.”
“You lead the Tiger Cavalry and Huluxu to attack the Northern Wei Imperial City.”
“I will obey my orders.”
“Lu Ju.”
“The end will be here.”
“You and Qin Yuanba will lead the Black Armor Army, 800 battalions, from the west to the Northern Wei Imperial City.”
“Speed is of the essence in war. Don’t miss the opportunity to fight.”
“promise.”
“I will obey my orders.”
“Each unit shall raise its own military provisions and encircle the Northern Wei imperial city within half a month.”
“Go.”
“Rumble”
“Rumble”
The earth trembled, and two torrents of armored soldiers separated from the army and went to the east and west.
After half of the 300,000 elite troops were taken away, there were still about 150,000 left.
“Youzhou Cavalry, Jizhou Cavalry, Yongzhou Cavalry.”
Xiao Han pulled the reins, looked back at the dark mass of armored soldiers, grinned and said: “The time to make achievements has come. Follow me and chase after them and bite Helian Bobo to death.”
“kill.”
The cavalry of three states followed behind him and chased after the Northern Wei army led by Helian Bobo.
The cavalry of Youzhou, Jizhou and Yongzhou are all light cavalry, whose predecessors were the Jizhou Iron Cavalry.
Although they were no match for the elite cavalry such as the Eight Hundred Battalions, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the Black Armor Army in the Xiliang army.
But its strength should not be underestimated. After all, before the rise of the Xiliang Cavalry, the Jizhou Cavalry was already famous for its ferocity.
Hundreds of light cavalry scouts rushed out, one man riding two horses, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Deep in the heart of the Northern Wei Dynasty, two armies were one fleeing and one chasing. Although Helian Bobo was the military god of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he only had 200,000 troops under his command.
How could they outrun the elite light cavalry under Xiao Han? They were caught up in just a day and a half.
A bloody battle broke out between the two sides in Osprey Stream.
“kill.”
“All of you, charge at me.”
“Anyone who dares to take even a step back will be killed without mercy.”
Among the Youzhou cavalry, a captain of ten thousand men cut the Northern Wei soldier in front of him into two halves with one sword. The hot blood dyed his armor red, and he casually wiped the blood off his face.
He shouted at the Youzhou soldiers around him with a ferocious look. As soon as he finished speaking, he urged his horse to jump away with his long sword in hand.
“Crossbowman.”
Behind the Xiliang army, a dense rain of arrows shot up into the sky, drawing arcs across the sky and instantly submerged the Northern Wei army formation.
After several rounds of volleys, countless people were killed and wounded.
The terrain of Osprey Gorge is extremely dangerous, with towering peaks on both sides and the valley in the middle is no more than a hundred feet wide.
However, it is the only way to the Northern Wei imperial city, and Helian Bobo deserves the title of military god.
Knowing that he couldn’t escape, he directly blocked the valley of Osprey Gorge.
Tens of thousands of infantrymen, armed with spears, swords and shields, formed a battle formation and blocked the charge of the Xiliang cavalry.
Every step forward required huge casualties. After charging into the Northern Wei army, countless Xiliang cavalrymen were hacked to death by swords and spears and torn to pieces.
Behind the army, Xiao Han rode on horseback, watching the scene expressionlessly, and did not give any order to stop it.
If they can’t even endure this little bit of cruelty and bloodshed, how can the Xiliang Cavalry conquer the world?
“This Helian Bobo is quite capable.”
The tiger idiot next to him couldn’t wait to say, “My Lord, let me take the people up.”
“Don’t worry.”
Xiao Han shook his head: “There are plenty of tough battles for you to fight.”
“Report.”
“Your Highness.” “Behind Osprey Gorge, the Northern Wei army is retreating.”
A scout came to report.
“Want to go?”
Xiao Han raised the corner of his mouth, staring at the opposite side with deep eyes, feeling Helian’s strong breath, he grinned and said: “This king will not agree.”
“Tiger Maniac, I’ll give you 30,000 cavalrymen.”
He said: “Put some pressure on Helian Bobo.”
“promise.”
Hu Chi took the order and led the army to charge.
Yuyingjian is only about 400 miles away from the Northern Wei Imperial City. Xiao Han does not intend to let Helian Bobo return to the Northern Wei Imperial City with the Northern Wei’s last troops.
He wanted to annihilate these 200,000 people outside the Northern Wei imperial city, and Yuyingjian was the best burial place for Helian Bobo.
“die.”

As one round of charge was repelled, corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like a river in the valley. The bodies of Xiliang and Northern Wei soldiers were everywhere, and broken swords were stuck in the ground.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The mountain breeze echoed, mixed with the chill of early spring, blowing on the body, bringing a biting chill.
In the valley.
In the Northern Wei army, countless Northern Wei soldiers were ready to die, tightly gripping their swords, shields, and spears.
The people of Northern Wei were not weak. Their land was more barren, which also made them tough.
They knew that the Northern Wei Dynasty had reached a critical juncture of life and death, and behind them was the Northern Wei Imperial City.
If the Western Liang cavalry cannot be stopped, then there will no longer be an empire called Northern Wei in this world.
“Fight to the death.”
“Fight to the death.”
Countless Northern Wei soldiers roared, their armor was shattered, their bodies were covered with wounds and blood, like Yakshas and Asuras walking out of hell.
Behind the army, Helian Bobo watched this scene with an extremely heavy heart. He was still hesitating whether to retreat.
It would be good if he could leave tens of thousands of people behind to cover his retreat and take the remaining people back to the Northern Wei Imperial City.
If this remaining army was broken through by the Xiliang army within a short period of time, the consequences would be self-evident.
Especially since the opposing army was led by King Xiao Han of Xiliang.
If I weren’t here, who would resist that terrifying man?
“marshal.”
“Let’s go.”
The general beside him knelt on one knee and begged, “Let me lead the troops to cover the retreat and stop the Xiliang army.”
“Marshal, the survival of the Northern Wei Dynasty is in your hands.”
“We must defend the Imperial City.”
At this point in the battle, Xiao Han’s intention has become very clear, and that is the Northern Wei Imperial City.
The King of Xiliang divided his troops into three groups, and the armies on the east and west wings would arrive at the imperial city in two days.
If Helian Bobo could not lead his men back to the imperial city before being surrounded by the Western Liang Army, the Northern Wei would basically be destroyed.
By then, the imperial city would be lost, and the army under Helian Bobo would be like a rootless duckweed, and would most likely be surrounded by the three armies of Xiliang under the Northern Wei imperial city.
“Marshal, if you hesitate to make a decision, you will suffer the consequences.”
“move.”
A gray-haired general choked up and said, “We will fight to the death and will definitely delay the Xiliang Army and buy time for the Marshal.”
However, the words had just fallen.
The Xiliang army on the opposite side began to retreat. After a few breaths, the ground shook violently, and a group of cavalry covered in heavy black armor appeared in sight.
The men and horses were all in armor, holding long spears, and lined up in a row, numbering several thousand.
“Heavy armored cavalry.”
In the Northern Wei army, countless soldiers could not help showing expressions of horror and their bodies were shaking when they saw these thousands of dark iron cavalry.
“Why do they still have heavily armored cavalry?”
A general looked incredulous.
Who said that the Xiliang Army only had 800 battalions with heavy armored cavalry?
In the past few years, Xiao Han has not been living a life of debauchery. In addition to the 800 battalions of heavy armored cavalry, he also has two heavy armored cavalry battalions.
