After some discussion, the Heavy Cavalry generals of the Rising Sun Empire had finally reached the same decision – retreat!

If they stayed here, they would only be able to passively get killed by the light cavalry of the Iron Guard.

At this moment, they didn't know that the decision to retreat was only the beginning of another nightmare!

During the retreat of the heavy cavalry, the Iron Guards followed closely behind, maintaining a distance of less than two arrows away from the heavy cavalry. At this distance, they could move forward and retreat at any time, and the speed of the heavy cavalry was still an unsolvable problem!

The heavy crossbows had killed another batch of heavy cavalry soldiers. From their initial panic to their rage to their numbness.

He didn't know when or where, but Tian Yuan crossbows appeared out of nowhere and fired a barrage of arrows at them. The Iron Guards that were following them from behind also took the opportunity to attack and cause some damage to them.

No one would take a glance at their companion who had fallen from the horse's back, much less reach out to help him. The heavy cavalry soldiers silently abandoned their comrades. It didn't matter if they were dead or alive, they were unable to protect themselves.

"How long can we last if we retreat like this? They are exhausting our forces, there will be a time when they will run out! "

A general desperately said, The enemy is consuming them, nibbling away at them!

"Throw away the heavy armor!"

Another high-ranking officer sighed, "Perhaps this is our only chance to survive and return."

"Without heavy armor, there's no advantage at all in front of the Iron Guards. They will come forth and attack."

"That way, we can at least fight face to face with the Iron Guard. It wouldn't be a injustice if we were to die in battle."

"Ai, you guys have forgotten one thing. If we abandon the heavy armor, we can indeed greatly increase our speed. However, do you think that the Iron Guards will fight with us?"

"Why not? If they don't attack, they can't stop us from retreating. "

The general who was sighing with fear narrowed his eyes, "I told you, you forgot one thing, the weapons they use, or the crossbows. Far away, faster, and more penetrating than our bows and arrows. They don't have to fight us, they won't fight us, they'll shoot us with those crossbows. Without heavy armor, they dare to come closer. What can we use to stop them from getting closer? Stop those crossbows? "

The officers were all silent. Only after a long while did one of them ask, "Are we going to be chased and killed by them just like that? Until they kill them all? "

The leader sighed again, "We still have a chance. Not far away from there, there are hills and woods. We can only get into the forest and use the cover of trees and rocks to get out of this predicament." Hopefully, they will not and will not be willing to stay here and leave as soon as possible. "

Hearing this, the general also understood that this was their only chance to conserve their strength.

However, they also knew that these words did not mean anything. If the Iron Guards were not willing to leave, they would not be able to hold on for even a day without food and supplies!

The last wave of attack from the Iron Guards had come before the heavy cavalry entered the forest. Their young prefecture lord had very unscrupulously ordered each and every Iron Guard to bring the corpse of a heavy cavalry to block in front of them.

The heavy cavalry soldiers were stunned, unable to react at all. They could only foolishly shoot at the Iron Guards, but the arrows they shot were all aimed at the dead heavy cavalry soldiers, so it was difficult for them to injure the Iron Guards. Because of this, the heavy cavalry once again paid a huge price and left a large group of their comrades behind.

The smarter of the two generals finally reacted and gave the order to shoot the Iron Guards' warhorses. However, it was too late. The Iron Guards only rushed forward twice before stopping their attacks. They reined in their horses and watched from a short distance, calmly throwing them away. Those corpses in front of them were shot by the arrows like hedgehogs.

"Princess, this move is too ruthless!"

Some of the Iron Guards didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Whether it was admiration or some other emotion, they could only sigh like this, while others said it was too extreme, too wonderful, etc. In short, none of them dared to say anything.

That was to say, "Too insidious"!

When the three thousand strong cavalrymen retreated into the mountains and forests, there were only a few hundred left!

This war, which had originally been fraught with dangers everywhere, temporarily came to an end with a small number of Iron Guard casualties and countless supplies!

When they were cleaning up the battlefield to collect their spoils of war, the bodies of the soldiers of the Rising Sun Empire that Yun Zi Huang had killed at the beginning were set ablaze. All traces and oddities were covered up by the raging flames and eventually turned into ashes.

Yun Yin had left behind a few personal guards who hadn't completely recovered from their injuries to specifically do this when the Iron Guards were chasing down the heavy cavalry.

When the cleaning up of the battlefield was completed, the pile of corpses continued to burn. However, the light from the flames was much dimmer than before. The thick smell of burnt flesh and bones floated far away.

The dead Iron Guards were also burnt. At the very least, these dead Iron Guards and their ashes still had a chance to be brought back. There were too many Iron Guards, and their corpses would forever remain on this foreign land, never to return to their homeland!

The dinner was sumptuous, but the atmosphere was heavy. In this battle, the Iron Guards had lost nearly a third of their troops!

Stepping into the Empire of Rising Sun, being ambushed and killed, and then facing a few thousand Rising Sun's strongest heavy cavalry, such a loss was negligible. Under normal circumstances, this would be an extremely beautiful victory, bringing about earth-shaking cheers and countless gazes of admiration. However, at this moment, there was only heaviness and pain because they could not afford to lose it.

There were originally a thousand Iron Guards who followed Yun Zihuang to break out of the encirclement, but now there was less than half of them left.

The personal guards had been beaten to a pulp a long time ago, so there were less than two hundred left.

This original team of one thousand five hundred people, including the disabled ones, only had seven hundred people!

Of these 800 people, there were still many who were injured. In the end, how many of them would make it back to the North City alive?

No one knew, and no one asked, that from the moment they had set out with the Lord, they had been ready to die.

"Hahaha …" This time, we have won a great victory. Duke Ba Tian will definitely vomit blood if he finds out about what happened here, and he won't be able to make it up to us in one breath. It's very possible that he's finished. "

Feng Ning laughed heartily and raised the leather bag filled with strong alcohol, "Princess, this is the most beautiful battle that this lowly general has ever witnessed in his entire life. Please allow this lowly general to drink a mouthful of fine wine to celebrate his victory."

He smiled at the surrounding Iron Guards, raised his wineskin, and took a big gulp. The pungent wine flowed down the corner of his lips. The surrounding Iron Guards also laughed as they raised their wineskins and took a big gulp as well, letting the strong alcohol dilute the pain and sorrow in their hearts.
