Chapter 196: Tian Ce Dynasty iron cavalry, vs Royal Court coalition iron cavalry
"Oh? That is the Emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty?" The leader of the Giant Bear Tribe, Sha Tu She, rode on a tall horse.
This time, the army to meet the Tian Ce Dynasty was his idea; he gathered so many fearless warriors and let the warriors of his own tribe stand at the very front.
The warriors of the Giant Bear Tribe were all majestic.
Sha Tu She had always felt that building cities was the wrong choice; according to the tradition of the north, they should hit the Tian Ce Dynasty's army hard on horseback.
So the tribe he was in didn't build cities, and his life's work was in training war horses, as well as horse combat training, weapon configuration, etc.
It can be said that the tribe he was in was fearless even of the Snow Eagle Tribe in field battles!
Isn't the Snow Eagle Tribe just blessed by the Snow Leopard God and having strong recovery ability? If not for this, why would the Giant Bear Tribe leader Sha Tu She fear that kid Tuoba Zhen.
Hearing that the Ice Bear Tribe's city was destroyed, he scoffed at it at the time.
Sha Tu She was also one of the few leaders who didn't want to send soldiers to garrison the Ice Bear Tribe's city.
For this, he also offended the Khan Tuoba Zhen and the leader of the Ice Bear Tribe, Huyan Yu.
Now Sha Tu She wanted to let the whole grassland know that his 200,000 iron cavalry could destroy the Tian Ce Dynasty's million-strong army!
Thinking of this, Sha Tu She also glanced at Huyan Yu, who was watching from the distant mountains.
Huyan Yu, after being defeated, actually intended to lead the remnants to participate in this battle with Sha Tu She; it had reached this point, and countless clansmen had died, so he couldn't shrink back.
Especially since there was a traitor Huyan Lan in the Northern Army; if he could kill Huyan Lan, it wouldn't matter if he died in battle!
But the problem is, Sha Tu She didn't let him participate in the coalition army and let him watch from the side.
According to Sha Tu She, you are a defeated general, what qualifications do you have to fight side by side with me, just watch me show off my operations there.
If it weren't for fear of affecting the morale before the battle, Huyan Yu would have moved to beat him up at that time.
So Huyan Yu watched from afar; he was very unhappy with Sha Tu She, but also hoped Sha Tu She would win.
Because behind this, it was the Emu'er Shengshan.
If the Tian Ce Dynasty's army really hit it, they would have to shrink back to the Great Snow Mountain and develop for hundreds of years.
In the coalition army, there were also many troops of the Snow Eagle Tribe; Sha Tu She was the commander-in-chief of the coalition army.
Now that the two armies were facing each other, Sha Tu She looked at the vast army of 200,000 behind him, his heart full of irrepressible excitement; this was an invincible army! This was the army of the north!
As long as he closed his eyes and listened to the breathing of the war horses and warriors in his ears, Sha Tu She seemed to be able to pierce through the barriers of time; the ancestors fought like this!
Building cities is a bad habit! It has to be fought like this to be the kingly way!
The two armies were facing each other, and it was a frontal impact, so Sha Tu She naturally wanted to boost morale before the battle.
Only seeing him ride a horse to the front of the Northern Royal Court coalition army, he shouted loudly: "Warriors! Today, we gather here to protect our home behind us, to defend our honor and faith!"
When he said this, it aroused the fighting desire of the soldiers of the Northern Royal Court coalition army!
Because behind them, it was their home, it was their clansmen!
Many clansmen's eyes began to become bloodshot!
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost there, Sha Tu She raised his weapon and shouted: "Now, let us raise the weapons in our hands, let out a heaven-shaking shout, let the enemy feel our strength and determination! For home, for honor, for faith, charge! Nothing can stop our pace of moving forward!"
After speaking, the soldiers of the Northern Royal Court coalition army began to howl, letting out a heaven-shaking shout!
On the other side, in front of the Tian Ce Dynasty's army.
Li Chen looked at the vast army and drew his sword, shouting: "Tian Ce Army is mighty!"
The soldiers responded in unison:
"Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
The million-strong army shouted at the same time, echoing in this area.
"Kill!"
As Li Chen's words fell, the war drums beat, and the sound was like the roar of ancient gods, shaking heaven and earth, echoing between heaven and earth.
Immediately after, the horn of the charge blew, and the sound pierced the clouds and echoed in the sky, making everyone who heard it tremble involuntarily.
Li Chen didn't need to say too much nonsense; he just rushed to the very front, which was the greatest encouragement to the soldiers!
Five hundred years ago, the bravery of the Northern Army could frontally defeat the Royal Court's army, let alone now!
The million-strong iron cavalry raised their weapons in unison, letting out a deafening shout, like a black torrent, galloping toward the enemy formation.
The earth trembled under their hoof sounds, and the air was torn apart in their whistling, as if even heaven and earth were making way for this grand charge.
Li Chen and several other Sage Realm experts erupted their prestige without reservation, and the sky changed!
At the moment of the collision between the two armies, heaven and earth seemed to be torn apart by a huge force!
The light of the Harmonic Pulse Formation intertwined into a net over the battlefield, and every ray of light contained terrifying power sufficient to destroy mountains and rivers!
The collision of iron cavalry and iron cavalry, the symphony of swords and shields, people turned over and horses fell, flesh and blood flew, and the air was filled with thick blood!
Sha Tu She, who rushed to the very front of the Royal Court coalition army, faced Li Chen.
He just wanted to use the deterrence of the army's Harmonic Pulse Formation to instantly destroy Li Chen, this Sage Realm expert.
Even if he died, he wanted to exchange Li Chen away.
But before he got close to Li Chen, he was instantly killed by the sword light Li Chen swung.
That feeling was as if Li Chen was passing by on horseback and casually stepped on an ant.
The temperament of 'I am invincible, you do whatever' on Li Chen was fully displayed!
Anyone who stood in front of him would be melted away.
Where is the Royal Court coalition army's Harmonic Pulse Formation as strong as the Tian Ce Dynasty's million-strong army's Harmonic Pulse Formation? Not long after, the Harmonic Pulse Formation in the sky became a one-sided trend.
Sage Realm experts have no advantage in the face of the army's huge Harmonic Pulse Formation, but the problem is, Li Chen didn't come alone.
Li Chen was also red-eyed; he took the lead, and the hoof sound of the Dragon Soaring Black Obsidian was like thunder.
The long sword in his hand flickered with golden divine light, and every swing was accompanied by a magnificent Heavenly Dao sword energy; wherever he passed, no one could block his edge.
His figure rampaged on the battlefield, making his opponents facing him feel unprecedented shock and fear!
It couldn't help but make people sigh, is there really anyone who can block this?
With the deepening of the Tian Ce Dynasty's army charge, the enemy's defense line began to collapse.
In the distant mountains, the leader of the Ice Bear Tribe, Huyan Yu, sighed.
"Alas, it was lost like this five hundred years ago, why don't you believe it!"
The Royal Court army has always been wandering and raiding, and only by being unexpected can they win.
The victories of the Khans of all generations, which one was not winning with few against many, which one was not relying on excellent command.
Have you heard of any Khan who had nothing to do and dared to fight the Tian Ce Dynasty's Northern Army, which was specifically prepared for cavalry battles.
On the frontal battlefield, even if your Giant Bear Tribe's war horses and weapons are good, what about it? The Tian Ce Dynasty not only has many people, but its military development is even more powerful; how can this be fought.
Huyan Yu was ready to die; he knew there was not much chance of winning this battle.
In the face of absolute advantage, various encouraging words were useless.
Don't you see the Emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty, just shouted a sentence and killed over.
Because he knew that this kind of big tailwind, he couldn't lose at all, so he was too lazy to talk to you.
The casualties of the Ice Bear Tribe were too many; actually, Huyan Yu also had no face to go back, thinking that he would die in battle, but he hadn't died yet.
"It's a pity that these 200,000 warriors will be wiped out in one day."
Huyan Yu shook his head; he was definitely right to build a city, at least it blocked the Tian Ce Dynasty's Northern Army for more than half a month, and the Tian Ce Dynasty's siege troops were repeatedly defeated by him.
Building a city is one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot open it, and with very little cost, one can exchange for huge victory, even the Tian Ce Dynasty's Northern Army couldn't break it.
Who knew that the Unmelting Ice city wall was broken by someone; this is something no one could have thought of.
If it hadn
Unless the Northern Army of the May Tian Ce Dynasty dares to pay the price of losing half its strength, they simply cannot break through his city.
But that is all in the past, and it can no longer be undone.
Watching the Wang Ting coalition forces begin to crumble, the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army will be here to slaughter them in a moment.
The deputy general beside him spoke up: "Leader, let's return to Holy Shancheng quickly!"
Huyan Yu shook his head and said: "If these two hundred thousand men were stationed at Holy Shancheng, I think there would still be a fight, but returning now has no meaning at all; we should head back to the Great Snow Mountain instead."
In Huyan Yu's view, only the Snow Eagle tribe is stationed in Holy Shancheng, while the other tribes are too busy looking after themselves.
Now that the main force of the cavalry has also been wiped out by the May Tian Ce Dynasty's grand army, even if a portion of them escape back, it holds little significance.
In any case, these few people going back doesn't mean much; it would be better to return to the Great Snow Mountain. He feels that this time, the Ice Bear tribe will likely take another few hundred years to be able to emerge again.
Taking advantage of the time before the Snow Eagle tribe returns, he must strive to develop, and in the future, he will make the Wang Ting become the Ice Bear Wang Ting once again!
What he does not know is that Li Chen never intended to let them return again. The battle finally drew to a close, and the May Tian Ce Dynasty's grand army, with invincible momentum, crushed the Northern coalition forces.
On the battlefield, blood flowed like a river, resembling a crimson silk ribbon winding across this once-tranquil land.
Corpses lay scattered across the entire plain; some gripped their weapons, their faces twisted and teeth gritted, as if still recounting their unwillingness to die.
Others lay quietly, looking as if they had done their best and had no regrets.
Still others were left in pieces, their bodies mangled beyond recognition.
The banners of the May Tian Ce Dynasty's grand army fluttered high above the battlefield, appearing even more vivid and eye-catching against the blood-red backdrop.
Li Chen rode the Long Xiang Heiyao, slowly traversing the battlefield; he could now be considered to have fought bravely for the May Tian Ce Dynasty, shedding blood and sacrificing his life.
Although the heads shed were others', and the hot blood spilled was the enemy's.
On the battlefield, the smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated, and sunlight spilled through the clouds, shining upon this land once filled with slaughter and blood.
"Are you still getting used to it?" Li Chen came to Lady Youlan's side and asked.
!
"I am fine, Your Majesty. In the past, when we were training, we encountered such situations in Mystical Realms with special illusions, just not as realistic or as grand as this." Lady Youlan felt Li Chen's concern and was very gratified.
As a sect cultivator, do not let her current elegant and refined appearance fool you; when she was young, she also fought her way up.
Not to mention Lady Youlan, even if Chu Ruoyan were here, she would be able to withstand this stench of blood.
It is likely only someone like Li Sining, who has not experienced slaughter before, who would be vomiting.
Wu Laoyezi has had his fill of killing and is becoming increasingly inseparable from the blade Li Chen bestowed upon him.
Master Wanfeng still maintains the appearance of an expert, though his Daoist robe is covered in fresh blood.
Guo Poyun is currently directing the cleanup of the battlefield; cleaning the battlefield is also a very important task.
If one encounters Wang Ting soldiers who are not yet dead, one needs to immediately deliver a finishing blow.
Especially at a time like this, one cannot be careless; these people know they are about to die and will try to take someone down with them regardless.
Li Ling and Chen Xuannan observed Li Chen from the side; do not let Li Chen's casual demeanor this time fool you, for his casualness is already a height that many people will never reach in their entire lives.
His composure and his steadiness are destined to make this army like a cold-blooded and terrifying killing machine.
If it were another emperor, he would certainly be delivering a victory speech or something similar to boost morale right now.
In their view, Li Chen seems to think that winning is a matter of course, and there is simply no great joy in it.
In fact, their judgment is truly correct; Li Chen does not like "luck," because if one always relies on luck, what if there is a time when luck fails? Wouldn't he be dead?
Often, the side that relies on luck is at a disadvantage and is gambling with their lives.
If luck exists, it means there is insufficient preparation.
Li Chen just likes watching others gamble with their lives while he crushes them.
Chen Xuannan did not dare to provoke Li Chen, so he silently retreated to the camp.
Li Ling also had no intention of greeting Li Chen, because she is of the royal family and Li Chen is the Emperor.
If she were to go and greet him, perhaps some would think she was trying to curry favor.
Li Ling just wants to prove that she rose through her own ability and military merit, not just by relying on her bloodline!
Thinking of this, she also followed Chen Xuannan back to the military camp.
Only Liu Hao, having finally seized the opportunity, ran over and knelt before Li Chen to greet him.
This was on the battlefield, so Li Chen naturally pulled him up with his own hands.
Li Chen patted Liu Hao on the shoulder, not expecting that this kid had grown to this extent in just a short time.
The murderous aura on his body is intense; where is the temperament of the second-generation noble he saw last time?
Sure enough, the battlefield is a place for tempering.
"Come, tell me, what have you experienced during this recent period?"
In any case, today's battle is over, the grand army is exhausted, and if they are to set out, they must wait until tomorrow; Li Chen simply followed Liu Hao back to his camp to see the soldiers at the bottom level.
As an emperor, these are all basic duties.
Even if no one had taught Li Chen, after being an emperor for a long time, he would naturally know how.
Seeing Li Chen, the soldiers rose one after another to welcome him.
Li Chen told them there was no need for excessive courtesy; this is a military camp, and they should get some good rest.
Seeing Li Chen so approachable, that reputation naturally spread throughout the camp.
Some soldiers felt deeply honored to see Li Chen eating with them.
Liu Hao was somewhat surprised, stating that the Emperor is noble and how could he eat these things, saying he would go and get Li Chen something good to eat.
Li Chen, however, did not care at all, telling him to come back and sit down; what is there that cannot be eaten? Although I grew up in the Imperial Palace, I often ate at roadside stalls; normal preparations will do, there is no need to make it special.
The setting sun was like blood, spilling across the horizon, and campfires burned fiercely in the wilderness, the firelight reflecting on one tired yet determined face after another.
Li Chen ate and chatted with the soldiers, patiently listening to everyone's words.
His actions made the soldiers feel that they were deeply cared for; this emperor truly has no airs.
Especially today, when the two armies were fighting, Li Chen charged at the very front; these soldiers all saw it.
He does not need to say any chicken soup, nor does he like to play the emotional card; action is the best proof!
No matter how many rumors about Li Chen these soldiers had heard before, through this action, they could all be shattered.
The emperor himself is charging at the very front; how can one smear him now?
While eating, Liu Hao also told Li Chen about his experiences in the Northern Army.
Of course, Liu Hao selectively forgot the part about being beaten up by Xu Zifeng on the arena stage at the very beginning.
Then there was his first foray into leading troops in battle; at the beginning, he did indeed suffer a bit at the hands of the brave and battle-hardened Altai, but later he became braver the more he fought.
Speaking with excitement, he exclaimed: "Last time at the canyon, if he hadn't run fast, I would have definitely captured him alive!"
Altai and his younger brother Atade had once caused trouble in the Imperial Capital, and the targets of their trouble were Liu Hao and Wu Qi.
It could also be said that there is a certain amount of hatred; enemies are especially jealous when they meet.
In the letters between Liu Hao and Wu Qi, Altai was also mentioned; Wu Qi wanted to come to the Northern Vanguard Army at that time to take revenge on Altai.
However, Altai's younger brother, Atade, is still locked up in the government prison.
Atade could never dream that his "cellmate" Xu Zifeng has now fought all the way to the Great Snow Mountain.
There were some topics Liu Hao did not mention, namely that he had also been nearly captured by Altai several times.
A young general wants to save face; he should just talk about his own battle achievements, and not mention the embarrassing parts.
After finishing the meal, Li Chen took a walk here, and Liu Hao followed beside him.
Li Chen asked in confusion: "The soldiers you have here seem to have better food and supplies than in other places."
Hearing this, Liu Hao knelt down and said, trembling: "Your Majesty, please forgive me; this humble official took the liberty of using my connections in the Imperial Capital to send more supplies to the soldiers under my command."
Liu Hao was terrified, fearing that Li Chen would punish him, and he did not even dare to mention Wu Qi's name, thinking that if he were to be punished, he would just bear it alone.
In fact, it would have been fine if he had said it; Wu Qi's backing is very strong.
"It is no matter, as long as it complies with the regulations, this also counts as your ability." Li Chen also knew that many generals, in order to make their subordinates work hard, would certainly find ways to seek benefits for them.
These are all little tricks for being a general, and Liu Hao's father would certainly have taught him.
Li Chen still held to the same statement: as long as it complies with the regulations, it is fine; I am not such a rigid person.
Hearing that Li Chen did not blame him, Liu Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Having walked almost to his own camp, Li Chen waved his hand to tell Liu Hao not to see him off any further.
Liu Hao also respectfully performed a salute, watching Li Chen leave.
Today can be considered as having shown his face before Li Chen and gaining a good impression.
Tomorrow, whether he can be the first to storm Holy Shancheng is the top priority!
