------------------------------------------------------

Gai Yu felt the earth under his feet tremble violently, as if he was about to stand unsteadily. The sound of iron hooves knocking on the earth rumbling in his ears. The neat and heavy iron cavalry charge line was heavy like a towering mountain, but it was quickly pressing towards his left wing.

The mountains and rivers are overwhelming, the mountains are collapsing and the earth is cracking!

"Stop them!" Gai Yu could only make a trembling and anxious shout from his chapped lips. This iron-armored cavalry was sweeping straight with a force of ten thousand pounds. If they were allowed to crash into the left wing, the entire Black Crow Army cavalry might be directly stormed by them and even collapsed.

Hundreds of left-wing Shatu soldiers immediately turned their horses' heads, roared with swords and guns, rushed straight towards these steel monsters.

The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road!

The Black Crow Army and the Black Flag Army collided fiercely, and soon the Shatu people regretted their impulse.

The Shatuo cavalry in the front row rushed up, and before they could exclaim, they were blown away by a huge impact force and then landed under the iron hooves in the back row.

The first row ran away, then the second row, the third row...

Under those black flags, everything is like the battle horn of the Black Flag Army. Wherever the black flag arrives, it is invincible.

No one could stop the heavy-armed cavalry in the charge. The cavalry of the Shatuo people has always been used to being proud of it. They had never seen the power of heavy-armed cavalry. Gaiyu was much stronger than the Shatuo barbarians. He was a strategist who had read a lot of books. He had seen heavy-armed cavalry in history books that showed off his style on various battlefields and determined the situation of the battle. However, he always believed that although heavy-armed cavalry had many advantages, it was actually not as good as Shatuo cavalry.

But now, when he watched the Shatuo cavalry collided with the heavy cavalry, he was knocked over by the opponent like paper-paste grass, and collapsed one after another, he finally understood what heavy cavalry was. These cavalry were not cavalry at all, they were a bunch of moving iron lumps. Shatuo cavalry went head-on to fight with them, just like hitting a stone with an egg!

The Shatuo cavalry were hit by the unstoppable torrent of steel, as vulnerable as if they were crushed with paper mud!

"Black Flag!" Li Cunxiao, who rushed to the front, roared loudly.

"Invincible!" He responded to the neat shouts of his subordinates, the brothers of the Baiqi Knights.

The roar of the heavy iron cavalry of the Black Flag Army, which was rushing forward, drowned out the screams of the Shatuo people under Gaiyu's fall from their horses and the collision of weapons. Under this storm of overwhelming and sky-shattering attack, the hundreds of cavalry who had been transferred by Gaiyu did not even block for a moment, and were instantly flooded by this torrent of iron armor.

Gai Yu's heart was trembling, but at this time, he had no choice. The impact of this iron-armored cavalry was too strong. If they were not suppressed, the collapse of the entire Shatu people would be in front of him. A thousand Shatu Black Crow Army turned around and rushed forward bravely under his shout. The cavalry of both sides once again collided head-on, just like two waves colliding head-on, arousing countless splashing waves.

The strength of the Shatuo people made Li Jing and Yu Jin, who were watching the battle in the city, sighed greatly. If the Tang army had not had the absolute advantage and had led Li Keyong into a deadly situation and fought against the close city, it would be really difficult to keep this Shatuo strong army.

The Shatuo people were indeed very fierce, but the spears on their hands were slashed on the iron armor of the Black Flag Army, and they were shocked to find that it was useless. They were wearing a mountain armor and a rope armor. There were two small holes in their eyes and nose and mouth, which were covered with steel all over their bodies, and their defense was even stronger than turtles. Even the war horses of the Black Flag Army cavalry and the vests on their bodies also had iron armor. Not only could they not kill the cavalry, but they could not kill the horses.

No matter how sharp the sword or gun is, the most useful weapon at this time is steel whip, copper mace, nail hammer, mace, iron bone, etc. The ones who use these dull weapons immediately are soldiers with extraordinary strength, and they can choose from one in a hundred people.

On the contrary, most of the Shatu cavalry are equipped with iron armor or leather armor. Every attack by the Black Flag Army can basically directly attack these Shatu people.

In less than a moment, the Shatuo people were killed in large numbers. Just like the grassland blown by the autumn wind, Gaiyu commanded the subsequent cavalry to rush forward continuously, but facing the fast charge of Tieshan, he was still knocked down.

Whether it is a man or a horse, under the impact of the torrent of iron armor, they all rushed to the ground. The momentum was stronger than iron and harder than steel!

Finally, Gaiyu regained his rationality. The Shatuo cavalry wanted to fight this iron cavalry head-on, and it was impossible to win. These guys were just iron mountains and swords and guns. To deal with these iron armored cavalry, you can only fight with them first, wait for their charge to descend, and when their strength was exhausted, they would lose speed and endurance, and just a few piles of iron lumps, and they could easily kill them.

But Gai Yu rubbed his face in pain. He knew, what's the use of knowing these now?

The Shatuo cavalry on the left wing had been completely dispersed, and the speed of this cavalry had not yet dropped. Now they still have strength and speed. They had directly knocked on the left wing. At this time, they were about to stab the cavalry who were still rushing to the Tang army infantry formation from the left.

Gai Yu hurried to Li Keyong's side and exclaimed: "From the time to stay, the iron-armored cavalry of the Tang army is unstoppable, and the brothers cannot stop it. They have already come here. Let's avoid the edge for the time being. When they have no strength, we will turn back and kill them."

Li Keyong covered the wound on his left arm. Because of the pain, his lips were blue and purple, and he was still trembling. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at it, and his eyes showed a little pain and confusion. How could there be iron armored cavalry among the Tang army?

He turned his head and ordered his adopted son beside him, "Siyuan, lead the Tielin Army to fight!" Tielin Army was the most powerful cavalry under Li Keyong. The total number was 5,000, but now it was getting smaller and smaller, leaving only one thousand cavalry. The Tielin Army of this thousand cavalry is also Li Keyong's guard unit.

A scream broke out in front of him, which was terrifying.

The torrent of the Black Flag Army's armor was coming straight and approaching.

The black flag army continued to charge, and the unique black flag was roaring in the wind.

After breaking through the left wing, Gao Shunli commanded two thousand iron-armored cavalry to rush towards the central army of the Shatuo people without hesitation. Holding a spear and a sabre, the black flag army was in an unstoppable manner.

In this torrent of black se, two teams of Li Cunxiao rushed to the front of the entire formation, acting as sharp blades. Under his leadership, the black flag army was like a thunderous thunderous momentum, and no soldiers could contain it!

The wind whistled above the head, the horse neighed in the ears, and the bright swords and guns were waving beside them.

Li Siyuan took the Tie Linjun and met directly without hesitation. The two armies were both black cavalry and they would not mess up their identities, because the Black Flag Army was more black, and their mask, which was completely folded, was too special. When fighting with the Black Flag Army, looking at the armor, Li Siyuan felt that he was fighting a lifeless and unaware of what life and death was.

Li Cunxiao was at the forefront. He took the lead and first crashed into the iron forest army led by Li Siyuan to fight. He held an extremely heavy iron spear, but the dozens of kilograms of iron spear was lifted in his hands. The iron spear was swung left in his hands and was unstoppable.

No one of the Shatuo soldiers who were close to Li Cunxiao could choose.

Li Siyuan raised his gun to fight, but the two sides fought for only a few rounds. Li Siyuan had been smashed directly by Li Cunxiao, spitting blood in his mouth, and fell two feet like a broken silk kite. Li Cunxiao was about to lift his spear and directly take Li Siyuan's life. At this time, several Li Siyuan's personal soldiers fought to the death with guns, entangled Li Cunxiao for a moment, and let Li Siyuan be rescued by other personal soldiers.

Li Cunxiao killed the personal soldiers. Seeing that Li Siyuan had been pulled up by his personal soldiers and fled backwards, he roared and rode his horse forward.

His cavalry immediately followed his figure and led the armored cavalry behind him to roll forward.

The galloping iron-armored cavalry was like a sharp arrow, deeply cutting into the enemy's huge and bulky body. Every step forward, it caused greater trauma to the enemy. One once proud Shatu cavalry after another was knocked down.

Li Keyong also discovered the power of this iron cavalry at this time. He personally summoned hundreds of cavalry to pick up the wounded adopted son, trying to curb the iron stream.

Li Cunxiao was disappointed when he saw that Li Siyuan was running farther and farther away and could no longer catch up. At this time, he suddenly found a Shatuo general wearing a blindfold leading his troops to the front of the formation and asked quickly: "That blind man, you are Li Keyong!"

When Li Keyong was called blind, he was very angry and said angrily: "I am the leader of Shatuo clan Li Keyong. Who is the nameless young general on the opposite side?"

"So you are Li Keyong, so good." Li Cunxiao laughed a few times and came forward, "Relax opens his mask and said to Li Keyong: "You think, grandpa is the governor of the Zhen**, the fourth disciple of the Duke of Qi, the Jieduya, the Jiedu Pioneer, and the current general of the left fourth capital of the Left Camp of the Black Flag Army, Li Cunxiao, is known as the nickname of the Tiger General. I heard that blind man, you also have a nickname called Feihuzi, so we are destined by God. Today, you are the flying tiger, let me fight the Tiger General again!"

Li Keyong laughed furiously, "You dare to call yourself a tiger general. Whether you hit me or I hit you, then everyone depends on their own ability!"

The two of them rode against each other and rushed towards each other. Although Li Keyong was injured with his left hand, he still stabbed him with a spear with his right hand alone.

The horse spear drew a thrilling arc in the air with a shrill sound of wind. Li Ke used a hideous laughter on the corner of his mouth: "Even if the tiger falls into the sun, it is not a vicious dog to deceive. Boy, take your life!"

Li Ke hit Li Cunxiao with a spear, but did not stab Li Cunxiao. Li Cunxiao did not dodge, but directly raised his iron spear and kept raising the fire to the sky. He directly swept Li Keyong's horse spear from bottom to top. Li Keyong's horse spear was not as strong as Li Cunxiao, and he was injured again. At this time, he only held the spear in one hand, so he naturally lost to Li Cunxiao. The tiger's mouth was shocked, and the horse spear in his hand had been directly picked up.

The two cavalry crossed by, and before Li Keyong could avoid it, Li Cunluo's iron spear had already stabbed Li Keyong in his hand, and picked him up from the horse's back, then threw him directly under the horse.

Just as Yu put on a spear, he cut off Li Keyong's head. Suddenly, dozens of cavalry came straight to him. Li Cunxiao killed and slashed right and right, and then turned around when he knocked these people down one by one and turned around. There was no trace of Li Keyong, but he was gone.

When Shatuo people saw that Li Siyuan and Li Keyong were shot down one after another, they didn't know how to live or die. At this time, they didn't have any fighting spirit or morale.

At this moment, another whimpering sound of a whimpering war horn came from the battlefield. The six thousand light cavalry who had been waiting on both sides finally saw the time. After the heavy cavalry completely defeated the Shatuo formation and shattered the enemy's fighting spirit, the two wings sent troops and thunder came over.

The Shatuo army was completely defeated and fled in scattered areas.

Five thousand Shatu soldiers were eventually defeated Feng'an. Li Keyong's back-to-water battle did not break Li Jing's siege, and was completely defeated by the black flag and iron armored cavalry. Zhen** then covered up and killed countless of the five thousand Shatu soldiers until dusk. Zhen** counted the numbers.

In this battle, Shatuo participated in the battle for more than 4,000 cavalrymen, three thousand were killed in one battle, and more than 1,000 were captured in the end. A few of them would rather die than surrender, and were forced to the edge of Zihuang River, turning around and jumping into the cold Yellow River, without knowing life and death.

Among the Shatuo generals, Gaiyu was captured, and many other middle and lower-level generals were either dead or captured.

However, Shatuo leader Li Keyong, Li Siyuan, Li Sien, Li Siben, and generals Kang Chengyi, Xue Tieshan and others were all gone without seeing anyone in their lives or without seeing corpses.

Although Li Cunxiao insisted that Li Keyong and Li Siyuan had been injured by his horse spear, even if they escaped for a while, they would definitely not be able to die for a long time. But Li Jing still firmly believed that these people would not die so easily.

Li Jing ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and while sending cavalry to search and kill Li Keyong and other Shatuo defeated soldiers. After several days of searching and capturing more than a hundred people, there was still no whereabouts of Li Keyong and others.

Neither the living person was beaten nor the body was found. Li Jing even asked someone to row a boat in the lower reaches of the Yellow River for several days, but in the end the body was not found.

In the end, Li Jing had to give up the large-scale search and handed over this task to the Xiaoqisi, asking them to send a team of killers to the Mobei area to chase. Li Jing believed that if Li Keyong was still alive, he would eventually return to Mobei.

Afterwards, Li Jing and Yu Yan wrote a memorial on the battle, and reported the victory to Zheng Congxian of Taiyuan and the emperor of Chang'an.

"After the triumphant of each town, which one do you think is suitable for the candidates for the Northern Jiedushi? Is it more suitable for Sage, Anqing or Qibi tribes?" Yu Qing asked Li Jing.

"Teacher, after this battle, it can be said that it is impossible for the Shatuo people to recover their vitality without ten or twenty years. However, although the Shatuo people were eliminated, the teacher still has to be careful in the Zhenwu Army. Whether it is the Helian tribe of Tuyuhun, the Tuoba tribe of the Dangxiang tribe, or even the Sage, Anqing, Qibi, and even other Hu tribes, they should be careful. I think that the land of the North is very important. If possible, it is best to transfer a mainlander to the north.

The Fans have a good job, so you must not hand over this important position and territory to the Hu people. The lessons of the Shatuo people are right in front of you." As soon as he was about to go, Li Jing still reminded him with some concern. When he left, Yuhu would be surrounded by the Hu soldiers. Li Jing was not interested in the vacancy of the Daibei Jiedushi, but after the Shatuo Rebellion, Li Jing really didn't want to see the court handing over such an important territory to the Hu people.
