Qin Feng and Qin Yun left separately.

Qin Lie turned over and got off the horse and rested for less than a cup of tea. Suddenly, a violent cough came from behind him. When he looked back quickly, he saw that Zhang Wenting, the chief of staff of the Dingzhou Legion, had already walked over with the help of two aides. Qin Lie hurriedly stood up to greet him, and complained: "Wenting, do you feel better?"

Zhang Wenting broke away from the support of his two aides and gasped, "I feel much better after taking the medicine. It's just a little cold, it's no big deal."

Qin Lie said: "Your body has not recovered yet, so you should sleep more and walk less."

"I can't sleep." Zhang Wenting waved his hand and asked, "Sir, where is the army?"

Qin Lie looked around and scratched his head and said, "I'm not very familiar with the terrain of Qingzhou, and I don't know where it is."

Zhang Wenting said: "I just suddenly remembered that I seemed to have heard from people before that there seemed to be a river in the Beidi County of Qingzhou. The river water is highly toxic. People and animals will die immediately after drinking the river water. Governor, after passing the Heifengkou, it is better to be careful."

"The river water is highly toxic?" Qin Lie was shocked at first, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, this is impossible. The river water is really poisonous. The Glorious Imperial Army on the opposite side should have been finished. They were drinking horses by the river half an hour earlier than us, and they had been taking water and cooking long ago."

"It's best if it's okay." Zhang Wenting nodded slightly and gasped, "I don't know which river is poisonous. I just heard people say it, so I just remind the Governor to be careful."

"Um." Qin Lie nodded after hearing this, "Wenting, you are right to remind me. We must be more careful from today!"

"Father, Lord Father!" Qin Lie finished speaking, his second son Qin Yun suddenly ran back wildly, shouting in panic, "What happened, something big happened!"

Qin Lie's heart was thrilled, he frowned and shouted, "Yun'er, what happened?"

Qin Yun grabbed Qin Lie in two steps and gasped: "This river water, this river water is poisonous! The war horses that just drank the river water can't do it anymore, they are foaming at this moment!"

"ah?"

Zhang Wenting was shocked when he heard this.

Qin Lie yelled in a hurry: "How many war horses have drunk the river water now?"

Qin Yun said sadly: "Except for the two wings that the elder brother brought to the guard, the rest of the war horses..."

Speaking of this, Qin Yun looked at Qin Lie with some fear and did not dare to continue speaking, but his meaning was already very clear.

"Why are you so careless?" Qin Lie said angrily, "The river water is poisonous, should you have discovered it long ago?"

Qin Yun said tragically: "Father, the toxicity of the river water did not occur at once. When the toxicity of the war horses that were first to drink water occurred, all the war horses had already drunk water. It was too late, it was too late!"

“Woo…”

“Woo woo…”

“Woo woo woo woo…”

As Qin Yun finished speaking, a sudden horn sounded in the camp of the Guanghui Empire Army several miles ahead. It was the horn of the attack!

"It's broken!" Qin Lie said tragically, "The enemy is going to attack, but at this time!"

Zhang Wenting's thoughts were heard and paused, "Train, this is a trap. As the chief of staff of the army, he failed to stop this conspiracy in time. He was dereliction of duty, he was dereliction of duty!"

"Wenting, I won't talk about this now." Qin Lie waved his hand and said sternly, "Dingzhou Light Cavalry lost his war horse and lost his original maneuverability. Regardless of whether this was a trap carefully arranged by Meng Hu, we were all in a desperate situation. Now we can only fight the enemy for life!"

"Boom..."

As Qin Lie finished speaking, a tide-like sound of iron hooves sounded in front of him. Thousands of torches suddenly lit up in the dim wilderness, illuminating the entire wilderness in an instant. In the bright flames, the enemy cavalry division that had just hid behind the infantry and rested appeared again, and the troops were divided into two groups, detouring towards the two wings of the Dingzhou Army.

The two Dingzhou cavalry regiments responsible for the guarding were desperately resisting, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the situation was already in danger. The enemy's cavalry division could destroy the attack of Dingzhou Light Cavalry at any time, and then deviate behind the Dingzhou army and completely cut off the retreat route of the two Dingzhou divisions.

If there was no accident in the Dingzhou Division's war horses, the enemy cavalry division would dare to fight without authorization, which would be a sensation. But the situation is completely different now. Qin Lie's two Dingzhou divisions lost their war horses and had changed from light cavalry that was storming like the wind to light infantry without armor. This is really fatal!

"Father!" Qin Yun shouted with a gun, "You and Mr. Wenting leave quickly, the child and the elder brother will break the back!"

"Shut up!" Qin Lie shouted in anger, "Take Mr. Wenting to find your elder brother immediately, and then lead two cavalry regiments to quickly withdraw to Heifengkou!"

Qin Yun was shocked when he heard this and said sadly: "Father!"

It is obvious that Qin Lie has already determined to die. He is clearly preparing to lead the light cavalry who lost his war horse and Meng Hu's army to fight to the end. As for Qin Yun and Qin Feng leading the only two remaining cavalry regiments to retreat immediately, it is to retain hope for the Qin family and to leave a reconstructed veteran fire for the Dingzhou Legion!

Qin Lie yelled: "Go quickly!"

"Father!" Qin Yun knelt down and said in tears, "I will never leave you alone to run away!"

"Idiot!" Qin Lie was furious, drew his sword and crossed it around his neck, and shouted loudly, "If you don't leave, you'll commit suicide in front of you for your husband!"

"Father!"

Qin Yun looked miserable, and finally looked at Qin Lie deeply, turned around to help Zhang Wenting, but helped him.

Zhang Wenting avoided Qin Yun's support and said to Qin Lie calmly: "The Governor is unwilling to leave his army and run away alone, and should also understand the difficulties of being unwilling to leave his elders and running away alone."

"Okay! OK! OK! It's not worth my Qin Lie and I have a fight with you!"

Qin Lie shouted three times in a row and turned around and waved resolutely at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun knelt down, knocked three times at Qin Lie, then stood up and ran towards the two fighting and retreating light cavalry regiments ahead. When he turned around, two rows of men burst into tears.

Watching Qin Yun leave quickly, Qin Lie's facial muscles twitched violently twice, then he raised his dantian and shouted: "The men of the Dingzhou Legion, set up their offensive formations..."

Hearing Qin Lie's long howl, the Dingzhou soldiers who seemed a little confused just now quickly calmed down, and then began to line up nervously and orderly amid the commands of generals at all levels. Although the enemy cavalry in front were already very close, the soldiers of the Dingzhou army were not panicked at all. Veterans, this is the calmness of veterans!

Qin Lie's Dingzhou Legion can now be said to be the only remaining veteran legion in the Mingyue Army!

In less than a moment, the Dingzhou army, which had lost its war horse, had already formed a super-large triangular offensive formation!

Although Qin Lie's Dingzhou Legion was a cavalry corps, they were also familiar with the infantry's offensive formations. Because in the border wars between the north and the Galaxy Empire, they often exhausted supplies because they went too deep into the enemy's territory, and then they had to kill horses to satisfy their hunger. Therefore, they had to learn the infantry's offensive formations to protect themselves!

The infantry tactics of the Dingzhou Legion are very distinctive, and the biggest feature is that they have attack but not defend!

First, ten soldiers formed a small triangular formation according to the "one, two, three, and four" sequence, and then ten small formations formed a medium triangular attack formation, and finally formed a large triangular attack formation of 3,000 people. If necessary, they could even form a super-large attack formation of 30,000 people!

Seeing that the Dingzhou army formed a super-large triangular attack formation in a very short time, Qin Lie's face suddenly felt endless heroism, and he spread his hands to the guards behind him and shouted: "Come on the gun!"

Two guards had already come to Qin Lie with a silver spear.

Qin Lie stretched out his right hand and took the silver spear lightly, and then took off the holster that was covering the blade with his left hand. In an instant, a cold light suddenly burst out in front of Qin Lie, illuminating Qin Lie's delicate hair. His originally solemn and majestic face seemed so ferocious at this moment...

"Yingyin..."

Qin Lie shook his right hand gently, and a gentle dragon roar suddenly burst into the silver spear in his hand.

After reaching out and stroking the long beard under his chin, Qin Lie suddenly looked up. Qin Yun and Qin Feng had already led the only two cavalry regiments of the Dingzhou Legion to separate left and right, and passed by the two wings of the super-large triangular offensive formation arranged by the Dingzhou army like lightning. Thousands of light cavalry accompanied him like shadows, chasing him relentlessly.

Suddenly, an inexplicable light of wisdom appeared in Qin Lie's eyes.

If someone thinks that the Dingzhou Army will become a vulnerable mob after losing its war horse, it will be a big mistake. I will tell the world with bloody facts that even if the Dingzhou Army is dismounted, it will still be an elite force!

In front of the northern light cavalry formation.

The Dingzhou light cavalry, who were running wildly in front of him, had a scattered scattered, and the large group of "Dingzhou infantry" who were waiting for him showed their ferocious true appearance. Ma Sifeng, who was riding his horse in front of the cavalry, could not believe his eyes. He closed his eyes hard and opened them again. The Dingzhou infantry in front of him was still waiting for him!

Damn it, things seem to be completely different from what I originally thought.

After losing the war horse, the Dingzhou army was not panicked, but the morale of the army was disintegrated, and it formed an offensive formation in a very short time. The Goddess of Light actually had a intensive offensive formation! These Dingzhou madmen actually wanted to attack? However, the raid-breaking formation is not the specialty of the light cavalry. Let's leave this matter to the heavy infantry behind!

Ma Sifeng's thoughts were lit up, and he immediately raised the saber in his hand and waved it left and right.

The northern light cavalry that was rushing forward suddenly split into two strands as if cut by a knife, and then flew past almost against the two wings of the Dingzhou Army's super-large triangular offensive formation.

Following Ma Sifeng's Northern Light Cavalry appeared Zhou Jin's Third Division, with a total of four infantry divisions in the Western Legion. The First, Second and Fourth Divisions had already fought bloody battles at Heifengkou. Only Zhou Jin's Third Division has not yet fought with the enemy with real swords and guns. Today, it is their turn to head.

Zhou Jin rode his horse and rushed to the front, and was very excited.

Zhou Jin's idea was exactly the same as that of Ma Sifeng. If the Dingzhou Light Cavalry lost his war horse, would it still be called an army? It was just a mob with no armor and no soldiers. Just the pitiful cloth armor on these guys and the pitiful sabers also wanted to block the heavy infantry wearing heavy armor, holding spears and archers pressing the formation?

After entering the range of the infantry longbow, Zhou Jin immediately stopped his horse and stood up, raised his sword and said, "Arrowman, get ready!"

The entire archers of a whole regiment raised the longbow in their hands at the same time. A soldier holding a torch had already run past the archers' formation and used the torch to ignite the rockets that the archers were on the string. Zhou Jin gave another order. Five thousand archers loosened the bowstrings at the same time. With the endless buzzing sound, the five thousand rockets had already swept the air and drew dazzling trajectories in the air, and then they were piled up on the head of the Dingzhou army!

"Swish swish swish swish..."

"Puff puff puff..."

“Uh…”

The sound of breaking through the air and cutting into the flesh and blood was heard, followed by the continuous wailing of the Dingzhou army. Although the Dingzhou army is a veteran of war, the cloth armor on their bodies is indeed unable to resist the shooting of enemy archers. Under the baptism of five thousand armor-breaking heavy arrows, the Dingzhou army fell down in an instant!

Qin Lie blocked the arrows shot at him and said, "The men of the Dingzhou Legion, hurry up and don't give them a chance to shoot arrows again!"

"Kill kill..."

The more than 40,000 Dingzhou soldiers and mountains behind Qin Lie responded, and instantly accelerated his pace, following Qin Lie behind quickly facing the heavy infantry waiting for him!

Although Zhou Jin was a little surprised that the enemy's morale was not in chaos, he still did not take these light cavalry who had lost their war horses and had no armor seriously. He immediately ordered the archers' wings to retreat fifty steps and continue to use bows and arrows to kill and injure the enemy. The third and fourth wings protected the two wings, and he personally led the first and second wings to attack forward, trying to crush the enemy in one fell swoop!

The two armies advanced and soon collided head-on.

Zhou Jin rushed to the front with a slap in the horse and danced his sword. Seeing that an enemy general who looked 50 years old but looked majestic in front of him, he shouted and slashed at the enemy general with a knife. With a bang, Zhou Jin suddenly felt his arms trembling violently, and the thick-backed machete in his hand had already flew away.

The next moment, Zhou Jin felt his throat suddenly cold. When he looked down quickly, it seemed as if a silver rainbow was sucking away like lightning, and then a bright red blood gushed out of his throat, splashing far away! The next moment, a bone-eroding icy wave came, and Zhou Jin's growing body shook twice and fell from the horse's back.

Not far away, Meng Hu, Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao were standing on the hill and watching the battle.

In the bright fire as bright as daylight, the triangular attack formation of the Dingzhou Army wedged into the middle of the phalanx of the Third Division. The phalanx of the Third Division, which originally looked very strong, was squeezed and deformed in an instant, and there was a vague momentum of being cut into left and right by the enemy. If the phalanx of the Third Division was really cut by the enemy, it would be a disaster!

"This...how is this possible?"

Jia Wudao held his forehead with his hand, his face full of disbelief: "The light infantry that the Dingzhou Light Cavalry temporarily acted as a more fierce attack than the heavy infantry? Just the poor cloth armor on them? Just the poor sabre in their hands, Goddess of Light, how did they do it?"

Meng Hu took a deep breath of air conditioning and said sternly, "Nothing is needed, just because they are veterans who have experienced many battles!"

Qi Diaozi also said in a heavy tone: "The general is right. Although the Dingzhou Army has poor equipment, there are neither heavy armor nor spears, nor archers, but they are all veterans who have experienced many battles. Their combat experience and psychological endurance are absolutely incomparable to the recruits of the Third Division!"

"Hehe, it seems this is a tough bone to chew!"
