Wanyan Kang rode on a fine horse, galloping out like an arrow. He stared into the distance with sharp eyes, and a hint of cruelty was faintly revealed on his resolute face.

During this era, the Jin cavalry was known for its bravery, fearlessness and invincibility.

Back then, Wanyan Kang led only a thousand elite cavalrymen, but he was like an extremely sharp knife, easily breaking through the defense line of 30,000 Song troops. This brilliant achievement is still praised in the Jin Dynasty.

Now, following Wanyan Kang were a total of 8,000 battle-hardened elite soldiers of the Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Kang made a rough calculation and found that 38 equals 24.

These eight thousand elite cavalry can be regarded as equivalent to an army of two hundred thousand.

I thought to myself, I already have 200,000 lions, and there are tens of thousands of Jin soldiers following me.

Why are you testing me? Just go for it!

Wanyan Kang took the lead and led the troops, like a tiger descending from the mountain, staring at the army in front of him with a fierce look, vowing to kill the enemy and make them flee in disarray.

Wanyan Huan in the rear took advantage of the situation and commanded his army to advance on all fronts. In this way, the outcome of the battle was probably no longer in doubt.

Thinking of this, Wanyan Kang couldn’t help but feel his heart surge, and the smile on his lips became increasingly difficult to suppress.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Wanyan Kang suddenly felt a chill rising from his spine, and then a layer of fine cold sweat broke out all over his body involuntarily.

“Strange, why do I feel like I’m being treated as prey?”

In the Wanchao Allied Forces, Zuo Zongtang focused his attention on the Jin cavalry troops that were gradually coming into the range.

He raised his mouth slightly, chuckled, swallowed his saliva, and muttered to himself: “Haha, it’s been a long time since I tasted horse meat! These Jin people’s war horses look fat and strong, and they are well fed. I think they must be very chewy to eat.”

After saying that, Zuo Zongtang suddenly waved his hand and shouted loudly: “Everyone open fire, target – the enemy’s horses!”

At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shaking, deafening roar!
“Da da da”

Along with this chilling sound, more than a dozen extremely powerful Maxim heavy machine guns simultaneously spewed out blazing flames. The long tongues of fire were like roaring fire dragons, seeming to completely ignite the entire vast sky!
Countless bullets flew towards the Jin Cavalry Regiment like a storm, with sharp and piercing whistling sounds.

Bullets intertwined and shuttled in the air, instantly weaving into a dense, tightly-knit web of death.

In the blink of an eye, one majestic war horse after another fell to the ground with screams.

The entire Jin cavalry team, which had been so aggressive, suddenly disappeared at an astonishing speed that made people dumbfounded.

Many Jin cavalrymen rolled on the ground in a panic, their faces filled with fear and dullness. They were completely confused and had no idea what kind of terrible attack they had encountered.

The enemy did not use bows and crossbows to shoot as usual, and there were no common traps such as tripwires on the ground.

But why did these war horses, which usually charged into battle fearlessly, suddenly become injured and fall to the ground?

Wanyan Kang, a general of the Jin army, was shocked when he saw the tragic scene before him, and his heart was filled with confusion and fear.

He looked around with wide eyes, trying desperately to figure out what kind of mysterious and deadly attack had come upon this elite force he led.

However, before he could react, suddenly, the brave warhorse under his crotch, which had always followed him in his battles, let out an extremely shrill cry, and then fell heavily to the ground without any warning.

Wanyan Kang was caught off guard, and he flew forward like a cannonball, and finally fell down in a very embarrassing manner.

On the tall and solid walls of Anning Prefecture stood several soldiers with outstanding eyesight.

They stared intently at the fierce fighting on the battlefield in the distance, holding lookout tools tightly in their hands.

Just a few breaths ago, the Jin cavalry rushed towards the enemy like a surging tide.

Although they suffered a certain degree of trauma in the process, their momentum did not diminish in the slightest and they still showed an invincible posture.

These onlookers had even planned in their minds the good news to report to Wanyan Sheng, imagining that they would be rewarded and praised for bringing the news of victory.

However, in the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield took a shocking turn.

The Jin cavalry, which had been unstoppable, fell down like harvested wheat when they were still some distance away from the enemy.

The speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping. It seemed like in just a blink of an eye, those once majestic cavalrymen had fallen to the ground.

The sudden change caused the minds of the soldiers on the city wall to go blank in an instant. They stared blankly at the tragic scene before them, completely unable to believe what they saw.

Due to his poor eyesight, Wanyan Sheng could not clearly perceive the specific situation on the battlefield at the moment.

But with his keen intuition, he still felt that something was wrong.

He turned around anxiously and asked the soldiers who were watching: “What’s the situation? Report it to us quickly!”

After hearing Wanyan Sheng’s question, one of the soldiers who was watching came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, and replied in a trembling voice: “Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The eight thousand elite cavalrymen we sent out have almost been wiped out!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Jin ministers around were shocked. They turned their heads abruptly and focused their eyes on the soldier who spoke.

“Impossible! How is this possible? In such a short period of time, even if there were 8,000 pigs left there for slaughter, it is impossible for them to be killed all in such a short time! What’s more, these are 8,000 well-trained and well-equipped elite cavalry!” Someone shouted in disbelief.

“What a joke! With such a short time, even surrendering wouldn’t be so fast!” another person asked in astonishment.

“That’s a full 8,000 elite cavalry! It was these 8,000 elite cavalry that made great contributions in the war to destroy Liao, and also caused the Song army to abandon their armor and flee in panic several times. Are you really sure that you didn’t make a mistake?”

Wanyan Sheng shouted angrily with a gloomy face, his voice was deafening.

He stared with wide eyes at the soldier in front of him who was called upon to answer, as if he wanted to find a hint of lies in the other’s eyes.

The soldier shuddered all over and shouted loudly, “Your Majesty, I dare not tell a lie. I saw with my own eyes that those majestic cavalrymen led by General Wanyan Kang suddenly fell off their horses in droves as if they were blown down by a gust of wind. Only a handful of them were able to remain standing!”

After hearing this, Wanyan Sheng’s face became even uglier. He suppressed his anger and called several other people over one by one to ask them questions.

Not surprisingly, the situations described by these people were almost identical.

For a moment, the originally tense and solemn atmosphere on the city wall instantly became deathly silent. Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak easily to break the silence.

Finally, there was a muffled sound of “thump”, and Wanyan Sheng sat down on the cold ground in despair, as if all his strength had been drained out. He muttered to himself, “It’s over… Everything is over…”

The civil and military officials surrounding them hurried forward as if they had just woken up from a dream.

One of the ministers was the first to persuade him, “Your Majesty, please calm down for now. The most urgent thing right now is to find out the truth as soon as possible and find out what caused our cavalry to fall so strangely.”

Another official immediately echoed, “Yes, Your Majesty, these brave and skilled cavalrymen would never fall down for no reason. There must be a big problem. Maybe they were ambushed? For example, someone secretly threw a poison into them…”

“Your Majesty, please be patient. We still have General Wanyan Huan. He leads tens of thousands of troops and has been through hundreds of battles. He will definitely be able to stop the enemy and find out what methods the enemy has used.”

on the grass.

Wanyan Kang climbed up from the ground with a look of horror on his face, his body shaking, as if he had just experienced a terrible nightmare.

He widened his eyes and looked around in panic. The scene before him made him feel hopeless.

Of the 8,000 elite cavalrymen who were once so majestic and powerful, only a few were still able to stand, and the rest were lying in a pool of blood.

The battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood and the painful neighing of war horses.

The bodies of those fallen war horses were covered with blood holes of various sizes and shapes, and blood continued to flow out of them, dyeing the ground red.

The surviving war horses were also seriously injured, some had broken legs and were limping, and some were wailing incessantly.

What made Wanyan Kang even more horrified was that along with the neighing of the war horses, there were also the extremely miserable howls of his cavalrymen.

I don’t know what these brave and fearless soldiers have been through.

Many Jin soldiers were missing arms and legs, or had bloody holes on their bodies that were bleeding.

Some of them are directly divided into several sections.

“Impossible, this is impossible… All of this must be fake, all of it!” Wanyan Kang muttered to himself, his voice trembling. He could not accept this cruel reality – the 8,000 elite cavalry that he was so proud of were completely wiped out!

Even facing such a fierce attack from thousands of crossbows, it would not be such a tragic situation.

What was strange was that after a careful inspection, it was discovered that there was not even a single arrow or crossbow around.

What on earth was going on? Wanyan Kang racked his brains but couldn’t figure out the reason.

At the same time, not far behind, Wanyan Huanzheng led tens of thousands of troops and advanced rapidly.

As they gradually approached the front line, they could see the tragic situation of the cavalry in front of them.

Wanyan Huan suddenly felt a chill rising up his spine and his scalp went numb.

His face was full of confusion, not knowing what had happened.

“The situation has changed, stop! Everyone stop immediately!”

Wanyan Huan roared at the top of his lungs, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

Finding several soldiers lying on the ground, Wanyan Huan hurriedly asked: “What happened!”

Without waiting for the soldier to speak.

A loud bang sounded nearby.

The violent explosion caused Wanyan Huan to fly more than ten meters away.

After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, Wanyan Huan covered his chest in horror.

At that moment, he didn’t know what happened.

All I heard was a loud bang, and then a huge force knocked me away.

Baptism of artillery fire, heavy machine gun fire, tens of millions of pointed shots were fired at the coalition forces.

More than half of Wanyan Huan’s 50,000 soldiers were killed or wounded in an instant.

The remaining Jin soldiers were very tactful and lay on the ground in surrender.

On the city wall of Anning Prefecture.

Wanyan Sheng learned everything.

His face was pale.

The original intention of sending tens of thousands of troops was to test the strength of the coalition forces of all dynasties.

As a result, after one encounter, tens of thousands of soldiers suffered heavy casualties and all surrendered.

The confident Jin generals were horrified.

No one expected this result.

Wanyan Sheng understood that the army that suddenly appeared outside the city was much more powerful than he had imagined.

With a wry smile, Wanyan Sheng asked, “My dear ministers, is there any solution?”

“Your Majesty, it is better to defend the city to the death.”

“They have come from a long distance, so they must not have much food and supplies. Once they run out of food and supplies, no matter how strong the enemy is, they will surely be defeated.”

“Send a message to the troops in various places immediately, and ask them to come to the king as soon as possible.”

“Tell General Wanyan Zongwang who has penetrated deep into the Song Dynasty to break into the city in the shortest possible time and capture the Emperor of Song alive!”

“Also, we must find out what the stick-like weapons in their hands are.”

Wanyan Sheng took a deep breath and said, “I will revise the letter immediately according to what you have said.”

outside the city.

Zhu Di cleaned up the battlefield.

Staring at the city wall not far away, he said, “Lan Yu, take a few people to inform Wan Yan Sheng and ask him to come to my camp.”

“I will obey your orders!”

Riding on a warhorse, Lan Yu brought a few people to the bottom of the city wall.

“I am Lan Yu from the Ten Thousand Dynasties Alliance Army. I am here to see your leader on the orders of the Marshal!”

Wanyan Sheng frowned, thinking that this kid was a little disrespectful to him.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and they can only automatically filter out Lan Yu’s disrespect: “Please come in quickly!”

On the city wall.

“General Lan, could you please tell me your commander’s name?”

“Ten thousand dynasties Zhu Di!”

Wanyan Sheng and others thought hard and confirmed that they had never heard of this name before.

I haven’t heard of the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Dynasties either.

“My Jin Kingdom doesn’t seem to have offended your army, so why are you attacking us?”

Lan Yu said coldly: “I don’t know what the commander-in-chief has decided. My commander-in-chief has ordered you to go to the tent to discuss it!”

Upon hearing this, the Jin general shouted angrily:

“Be bold!”

“So rude!”

“Let your commander come here in person to apologize!”

Lan Yu sneered: “You don’t have to go, but you will have to bear the consequences! In fact, I don’t want you to go either. The Jin Kingdom can be easily destroyed. Letting you go to pay a visit is just giving you face.”

Upon hearing this, several Jin generals became furious and drew their swords to attack Lan Yu.

“stop!”

Wanyan Sheng was shocked and hurried to stop it.

When the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed.

Lan Yu now represents the coalition forces of all dynasties, and if he is killed.

There is no possibility of peace talks between the two sides.

Although Lan Yu did not respect him, Wanyan Sheng was still very happy to see Lan Yu coming.

This means that there is at least a possibility of peace talks.

In Wanyan Sheng’s view, as long as they were willing to negotiate, the worst that could happen was that they would shed some blood, cede land and pay compensation to make the army withdraw.

However, several generals were so angry that they lost their minds.

The sword in his hand was so powerful that he could no longer retract it. (End of this chapter)
