Five thousand people had been completely annihilated by Su Li the day before yesterday, causing quite a bit of panic in Kebineng's army. Kebineng found several excuses for Su Li to lose and spent a lot of effort to suppress this kind of fear. The suppression was not equivalent to vanishing, the thought of 'the cavalry under Gongsun Xu is very powerful' still existed in the hearts of many, it's just that some people were skeptical.
Just a while ago, when the White Horse Camp's cavalry was at the back, these Xianbei People would only be envious and jealous of their good equipment. The grassland was lacking in everything and the number of armors on it was even rarer, many people would value it like a family heirloom just because they obtained a set of armors. However, when they pulled down the sinister looking Refined Iron Mask, and rushed over like a group of devils from hell under Zhao Yun's and Yan Rou's lead, the five thousand people that Su Li had left to block finally felt the fear once again. Furthermore, it was a panic that was even more intense than the rumors previously! Without directly facing them, it was impossible to understand the might and oppressive force of a group of armored cavalry soldiers charging over. It was as if a steel wall was rapidly crushing down, and if one was even the slightest bit careless, they would be pulverized into smithereens!
"Again!" Unresigned, Wulu gave the order again.
The distance between the two sides had been reduced to about forty steps. This time, the result of the arrows hitting the enemy was similar to the last time, but the result was much bigger. Seven or eight unlucky fellows died from having their throats pierced by arrows, and another thirty or forty war horses were wounded by the arrows.
There was no time to fire a third arrow. With a roar, he ordered the entire army to rush forward.
"Divide!" Zhao Yun waved his spear, and the group quickly split into two, he led a team, Yan Rou led a team, the two teams formed a wedge shaped assault array, with a distance of one hundred steps, they pierced into the opposing Xianbei People's group from the left and right.
At such a close distance, there wasn't enough time to shoot an arrow, but the crossbow wielding the White Horse Camp Cavalry equipment was able to display its greatest power. At a distance of twenty steps, over two thousand powerful crossbow bolts were released. Within a blink of an eye, the enemies had been turned upside down, and seven to eight hundred people had been shot down from their horses.
Seeing that the enemy was already in front of him, he roared and took the lead to rush at Zhao Yun.
The moment the two horses crossed each other, Zhao Yun dodged a slash from Servant Quan, and with a backhand stab, he pushed his opponent off the horse.
The morale of Servant Huan's men immediately dropped, some wanted to rush up to fight while others wanted to turn around and flee. In the chaos, the two teams led by Zhao Yun and Yan Rou were like two incomparably sharp swords, easily piercing into the ranks of the Xianbei People, and then quickly splitting open two long holes.
Zhao Yun and Yan Rou were at the front of the group, and as their hands never reached for an opponent that could match one of them, the two openings became bigger and bigger, extending forward with unstoppable force.
He looked at it with trepidation and asked carefully: "How many elite cavalry still have?"
"Elite?" Gongsun Xu was stunned, "This time, the people following me are not elites, the real elites in my hands are not only armored themselves, even the war horses are armored themselves, to prevent Yuan Shao from entering while is still in the air, they were transferred to the northern part of Jizhou." As he said this, he shook his head and put on a regretful look, "It's a pity that there are too few people, only a thousand people."
The White Horse Camp did indeed have a team of heavy cavalry s, but there was no shadow of any armor and the staff were still in the training stage.
He Lian did not know that Gongsun Xu was lying to him. He immediately shivered, one thousand people did not sound like much, but with their horses covered in armor, they were like a thick iron ball, who could stop them if they rushed forward?
Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "If you want, I can sell some armor to you."
"Oh? Is that true? " However, since Gongsun Xu wanted to do business with him, it proved that Gongsun Zanfuzi did not have any intentions of harming the Tanhan Shan. This was the main reason for his great joy.
"Since you've already said it, you can't go back on your word!"
"Very good! This king naturally trusts the General Zimin! Just that "He Lian pointed at Zhao Yun and the others who were fiercely charging forward, and laughed along:" I wonder how much that set of armor is worth? "
"Unsatisfied King, the armors of my soldiers were made of Hundred Refinement Steel, and were able to withstand the chops of the Hundred Refinement Steel. As such, the cost of making a set of armor is extremely high, and it would cost around three hundred thousand gold coins, or about three hundred slashes."
He Lian sucked in a breath of cold air. Three hundred thousand! That's enough money to buy thirty horses in Saipei! Even if he was a Great King of Xianbei, he couldn't afford such expensive armor!
At this time, Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun had already gone on a rampage in the enemy ranks, completely penetrating through the five thousand men led by Servant Wu. It was exactly as Gongsun Xu had said, the armor on Zhao Yun and the rest were extremely sturdy, it was extremely difficult for the curved blades that were commonly used in Xianbei People to break through the armor.
"This King" spat out these two words with great difficulty. He felt as if his heart was bleeding, but when he thought about the internal and external troubles caused by the war, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "This King wants a thousand sets! I wonder if General Zimin can …
"No problem!" Gongsun Xu immediately cut off He Lian's words, and said with a sincere face: "My King, don't worry, I promise you that every set will be high quality armor, the price will be three hundred slots, I definitely won't earn you a single cent!"
"Oh? "Ah, this is great!" The corners of He Lian's mouth twitched as he nodded in agreement. However, he was cursing in his heart. This King still wants to bargain with you, so how can you say such words?
"The King is indeed straightforward!" Gongsun Xu praised as he gave a thumbs up: "Within three months, the King will be able to send people to Ji County to transport the armor back."
Firstly, there would definitely be a lot of people who would fight against him and sell him some good equipment after this war, allowing him to kill a few more Xianbei People. This not only greatly weakened the strength of the whole army, but also caused the company's reputation to be ruined; secondly, Gongsun Xu truly wanted to earn some money, so he improved the production process of the armor and also adopted the assembly line's method of work, allowing him to produce around thirty sets of armor per day. This meant that the cost of selling the armor to the company would be one hundred slots.
Just these one thousand sets of armor were enough to make Gongsun Xu almost two hundred thousand slots, which was equivalent to the tax revenues of the entire Youzhou for half a year. Even though Gongsun Xu had obtained a lot of money from Li Yizi, it was worth it. Just the hoarding of food alone cost him over five hundred thousand and the forging of weapons and equipment cost him over a hundred thousand. Furthermore, he had also spent a few hundred thousand to reward his soldiers and pensions on some of the oddities that Ma Jun had researched.
"Three months!" In just three months, he was able to produce a thousand sets of armor. How many people were there in Gongsun Zanfuzi's Trades and Crafts Camp?
Gongsun Xu smiled mysteriously and looked towards where Zhao Yun and Yan Rou was.
In that short period of time, more than half of the troops led by Zhao Yun and Yan Rou had already been penetrated by the two small teams. Su Li's rear and center troops hurriedly turned around to face the incoming attack, but the frontlines were already mixed with the people of Yuwen tribe. Seeing that they had completed their mission to stop Su Li, Zhao Yun and Yan Rou took advantage of the enemy's chaos to rush to the two sides once again. With so many troops on their side, they were unable to stop Su Li in the slightest, quickly fleeing from the battlefield and rushing towards a high ground to the east.
Helian praised enviously, "He's really a peerless general!"
Gongsun Xu laughed, feeling extremely proud of himself.
Su Li saw that his enemy was taking advantage of him and so he ran. He was so angry that he shouted but could do nothing. But after being disturbed by the White Horse Camp's cavalry, his soldiers and soldiers were at ease, and Murong Lianxin had also quickly stabilized his position. No matter how hard Su Li tried to defend, he was unable to escape. At this time, Ge Wutu blocked Bu Dugen's fierce attack, and after turning the tables, another 6000 to 7000 people came over and surrounded Su Li's group.
On the battlefield, an inner circle and outer circle was formed. Whether it was Kebineng who was in the inner circle, Bu Dugen who was in the outer circle or Su Li who was in the center of the circle, they were both in imminent danger.
Due to the golden armor on his body, Kebineng had perfectly responded to the words that Gongsun Xu had said before in the palace. He had become the enemy's most eye-catching target. After fighting for more than four hours, Kebineng was injured in more than ten places, and his entire body was bleeding profusely. His pale face was terrifyingly pale, and he felt a strong sense of dizziness. The wave of impact made him feel as if he would faint at any moment.
When he first saw Su Li charging over, Kebineng's heart was filled with hope. If he could join forces with Su Li, they might even be able to fight their way out. However, the attack that the White Horse Camp cavalry army had launched with fewer people against many people had shattered Kebineng's last sliver of hope.
At this moment, Su Li was still more than a hundred steps away. Such a close distance would normally arrive in an instant, but right now, it was like a natural chasm between Kebineng and his two armies. No matter how hard Su Li attacked the enemies in front of him, there would be even more people blocking his path. The opposing sides were all exhausted, who could last long enough to become the final victor? However, Helian and Ge Wutu's troops held the advantage in numbers, and their morale was higher than Kebineng's and Bu Dugen's, so it was obvious that they could hold on for a little longer.
"Su Li!" Kebineng used all of his strength to shout at Su Li who was in front of him.
Su Li chopped a person in front of him to death with one slash and shouted with all his might: "Kebineng, Little Wang, you must hold on! This lowly general will come to save you right now! "
"Haha, there's no need!" Kebineng laughed as he shook his head, raising it to look at the blood-red sunset, he roared: "Quickly break out of the siege to the west and go to Tuoba Liwei! Run! "Hurry up and leave!"
"NO!" This general must save the King! " Su Li was like a mad tiger, he slashed at the few enemies who were blocking in front of him, and continued to rush forward.
Kebineng laughed miserably, and shouted sternly: "Murong Qi!"
Murong Qi wiped away the thick blood on his face and replied loudly, "I am here!"
Kebineng pointed to the big banner on the left side of Murong Lianxin and shouted, "This king will bring the guards to attack Murong Lianxin. Take the rest of your men to meet Su Li, you have to break out of the encirclement no matter what! "Remember, you must leave some seeds for the tribe!"
Murong Qi cried out, "Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot! This lowly general will lead his men and charge towards Murong Lianxin.
"Nonsense!" Kebineng whipped Murong Qi in the face and roared: "Only this king can attract the attention of the enemy, otherwise, no one can escape! Scram! Get lost! Otherwise, This King will immediately commit suicide! "
Murong Qi cried bitterly. No matter what, he was not willing to abandon Kebineng and flee for his life.
"Bastard!" Get lost! " Kebineng roared, and fiercely lashed out with his whip onto Murong Qi's horse's butt.
The warhorse under Murong Qi screamed and galloped forward, almost throwing Murong Qi down.
Kebineng raised his arm and roared at the surrounding guards and cavalry, "This is the last time this king has led you all to charge towards the enemy. This king will use his own life and your own to change the path of survival for the other brothers! Do you dare to die with This King? "
"We are willing to die with the King!" The remaining one thousand or so cavalrymen roared and countless of them shed tears.
"Haha, you are truly worthy of being a good son of This King!" Kebineng laughed at the sky, and the curved blade pointed at Murong Lianxin's banner: "Die! "We won't rest until we die!" Saying that, he raised the reins and rushed forward.
"Kill!" "We won't rest until we die!" Kebineng's guards shouted loudly in unison as they followed him in a mad dash.
There were two to three thousand people who were not cavalry soldiers. Although they had heard Kebineng's final order, they were not willing to follow him and break out of the encirclement.
"Great King!" Murong Qi wailed loudly, his right hand curtsied as he gave a grand salute, then waved his hand and shouted: "We will not disappoint the king! My sons, follow me and charge out! Kill! "
"Charge out! Kill! " The handicapped veterans who had less than ten thousand members suddenly exploded with the strongest fighting spirit. Following Murong Qi's crazy charge towards Su Li, all of the enemies in front of them were chopped into meat sauce.
