First Volume_Chapter 1234 Lone Army in Heavy Siege

At this moment, you must not stop, or else you'll be trapped and effectively sentenced to death.

And…

No reinforcements will come to rescue us, because Qin Feng has already sent out every single unit under his command.

Qin Feng gave a decisive order: "Kill your way out!"

With their rear route cut off and the cavalry packed too tightly to turn their horses, under Qin Feng's leadership, the five hundred Black Cavalry pressed straight ahead.

Moreover, their speed had dropped, their momentum weakened, so the front-line cavalry threw their spears to their comrades behind and switched to long sabers or great axes and other heavy weapons.

These heavy weapons could inflict terrifying damage even against Heavy Armored Infantry.

All those present were Light Infantry, who could not hold a single step against the heavily armored Black Cavalry and their heavy weapons; anyone standing in their path fell without lasting a single clash.

Often, each swing of a front-line cavalryman's weapon killed one enemy outright.

Faced with the unstoppable Black Cavalry, the surrounding Light Infantry began to scatter outward.

But Qin Feng's gaze never wavered; from behind the front-line troops, he continually barked orders: "Don't stop!"

"Keep charging forward, smash right through the enemy lines!"

The situation was crystal clear: turning back would scatter and disorder the formation, which would be fatal for Qin Feng—there was no choice but to press forward without hesitation.

These five hundred Black Cavalry were like a sharp blade, driving straight into the enemy ranks and tearing open thousands of enemy troops.

Since the Black Cavalry carried no spare horses, Xu Mo and the surviving guards had all dismounted and were wedged among the cavalry; their only task now was not to kill or assist, but simply to avoid falling and being trampled into Meat Paste.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Qin Feng and the Black Cavalry charged straight through the enemy lines, moving from the northern edge of the battlefield to the southern edge.

Having barely escaped the enemy formation, Qin Feng had no time to catch his breath, for this position was no different from a cliff's edge—one misstep and total ruin.

South of the battlefield lay the enemy's operational zone, where distant columns of troops kept moving.

The nearest enemy unit to Qin Feng was only one li away; even with the naked eye, their condition could be clearly seen.

The severity of the Eastern Front Battlefield was no less than that of the Main Battlefield at Gusu City.

"Your Majesty, we must return to our defensive zone as soon as possible. Without you holding the battlefield, any change could lead to unimaginable consequences."

Hearing Xu Mo's shout, Qin Feng waved his hand and growled: "Don't worry!"

"Command Authority over the Main Battlefield has been fully handed over to Sun Bo and Zhao Yuxiong."

"Zhao Yuxiong commands the front, Sun Bo commands from the Rear—enough to control the battle."

"The situation on the Eastern Front Battlefield is far more severe than on the Main Battlefield—we must hold this ground."

Hearing this, Xu Mo stared at the enemy forces surging toward them like a pack of wolves, his expression heavier than ever.

"There are so many enemies…"

"Have the Powerful Clans of Nan Jing really sent out every last man?!"

But Qin Feng's gaze was firm, his voice resolute: "Don't care how many there are—kill them all as they come."

"In this battle, our troops cannot retreat!"

At that moment, enemies began approaching from this direction.

Seeing they were mostly Light Infantry, Qin Feng instantly ordered: "Offensive Action! Kill them!"

The Black Cavalry, just freed from combat, charged again under Qin Feng's leadership.

This five-hundred-strong enemy reinforcement, unable to form a line, was struck head-on by the Black Cavalry; their already loose formation collapsed instantly.

Xu Mo somehow grabbed a lone Warhorse and caught up with Qin Feng.

"Brother Qin, what's our objective?!"

Qin Feng snorted coldly: "No objective!"

"Charge any enemy Light Infantry unit you see!"

"The Eastern Front Battlefield is in chaos—your troops holding this area are still fighting bloody battles. With these five hundred cavalry, we block reinforcements and buy them time to breathe."

As Main General of the Nan Jing war, Qin Feng personally led five hundred Heavy Cavalry alongside Xu Mo, engaging the enemy in close combat on the Eastern Front Battlefield.

Wherever they passed, blood pooled into streams, corpses piled into mountains.

But this slaughter ended quickly, because enemy messengers had already spread the word to all units.

Most frustratingly, someone among the enemies Qin Feng had previously fought must have recognized him.

For Qin Feng realized that nearly every enemy on the entire Eastern Front Battlefield was converging toward them.

By the middle of the night, enemies surrounded Qin Feng on all sides—countless Fire Torches glowed densely; no one knew how many enemies lurked nearby.

To resist the enemy, Qin Feng had already ordered the Black Cavalry to dismount, transforming from Heavy Cavalry into Heavy Armored Infantry.

And he had tied all the Warhorse reins together.

Thus, if the horses were attacked and panicked, the reins would prevent them from fleeing the battlefield.

These precious Warhorses became the only defensive barrier Qin Feng and the Black Cavalry could rely on.

The Warhorses could not fight back; even clad in the heaviest Armor, they were slaughtered by half within moments.

The piled corpses of the Warhorses greatly hindered the enemy's advance.

Amidst the pile of Warhorse corpses, Qin Feng and the Black Cavalry fought desperately.

Since the enemy lacked Heavy Armored Infantry, Qin Feng and the Black Cavalry merely needed to hold their spears, form a circle, and thrust continuously at any enemy approaching.

This Hedgehog Formation was simple yet highly effective.

The piles of Warhorse and enemy corpses grew higher, and with total darkness, both sides clashed in close quarters—Bow Infantry could not function at all.

Qin Feng, with only five hundred men, held back the assault of an ocean of enemies.

Xu Mo speared the enemy before him, his eyes bloodshot, teeth gritted as he roared: "Brother Qin, if I die here, I've lived a worthy life fighting beside you!"

"If we die, when we reach Naihe Bridge, we'll keep each other company."

"If a miracle happens and we survive and leave here, let the Qin King punish me however he wishes!"

Xu Mo understood that if Qin Feng did not come to rescue him, he would not be trapped in such heavy encirclement.

Qin Feng slashed through the enemies charging at him while roaring: "Even if you weren't here, I would still come!"

"There are no spare troops to reinforce the Eastern Front; only my five hundred Heavy Cavalry can make a tangible impact on the Eastern Front's battle situation."

"Hold on! Every enemy here wants my head—this will drastically reduce pressure on the rest of our forces!"

"Even if you have only one breath left, wait until the Reinforcements arrive!"

All of Xu Mo's bodyguards were dead; even the Black Cavalry had dwindled to fewer than Three Hundred. The Hedgehog Formation shrank tighter and tighter, yet not a single man gave up.
