Chapter 2654 Crimson Clouds Strike the Sword, the Military Master Displays His Power

Just as Deng Jiugong and the brothers Yu Da and Yu De were locked in fierce battle, Xue Rengui and Xing Tian, ​​leading their black-clad cavalry as spearheads, broke through enemy lines and successfully pierced through one of their formations.

The upgraded Black Riders, like a black torrent, led by the two killing gods Xue Rengui and Xing Tian, ​​rampaged through the Qian army's formation, leaving only corpses in their wake.

Xue Rengui took the lead, wielding his halberd with impenetrable speed. Wherever the halberd blade passed, the Qian army soldiers fell in droves, like wheat being harvested.

Some tried to intercept him with spears, but he knocked them away with a single halberd; others tried to launch a surprise attack from the side, but were cleaved in two by Xing Tian's axe.

Xing Tian swung his giant axe through the crowd, truly like a tiger among sheep; with each swing, several people were killed.

Despite having over 300,000 troops, the Qian army was exhausted from continuous marching, and their formation was too long during the march. Faced with the sudden attack of the Han cavalry, they were simply unable to put up a strong enough resistance.

Even the Crimson Cloud Horizontal Sword Capital, an elite force of the Great Qian Dynasty, lost nearly half its troops in a single charge by the Black Riders.

The entire Chiyun Hengjian battalion, numbering three thousand, were elite heavy infantry of the Great Qian Dynasty. On the battlefield, they would never have performed as utterly vulnerable as they were now.

It can succeed because of its heavy reliance on infantry, and it can also fail because of its heavy reliance on infantry.

During a march, heavy infantry cannot wear armor, otherwise they would collapse from exhaustion after only a short distance.

The direction Xue Rengui chose to charge was right in the corner where Chi Yun Heng Jian and the others were located. As a result, by the time Xue Rengui led the Black Riders to charge over, they didn't have time to put on their armor in that short period of time.

Even an elite battalion, without armor and in formation, how much stronger can it be than an ordinary soldier when facing a charging heavy cavalry?

In particular, the commander of Chiyun Hengjiandu, distressed by the losses of his brothers, made a foolish move, leading his troops to retreat to the surrounding area.

This action not only cleared a path for the charging Black Riders, but also caused the surrounding Qian Army to become even more chaotic as they charged in all directions.

Commander Chiyun Hengjian's decision preserved half of the troops, preventing the army from being completely annihilated under the iron hooves of the Black Riders.

However, for the entire battlefield, it directly caused a great deal of trouble for Ji Chengfu, the commander-in-chief of the army.

Even the elite battalion, which should have been the most resilient, retreated to the surrounding areas, impacting the formations of other Qian Army units. Naturally, the other ordinary Qian Army units followed suit, further worsening the battle situation.

Xue Rengui, who had successfully broken through the Qian army, reined in his horse and looked back. The bloody path he had just carved out behind him had been refilled by the fleeing soldiers. Although the five thousand black cavalrymen were all covered in blood, their morale was high, and blood was still dripping from their blades.

Of course, the more than 300,000 Qian troops could not be completely routed by this single charge. In fact, this charge only affected a small portion of the Qian army.

However, by cutting through the very center of the Qian army's formation, they had successfully prevented the Qian army from coordinating their efforts. Moreover, the Qian army that had just been routed was now charging in all directions, inevitably causing chaos among the surrounding Qian army as well.

What Xue Rengui needed to do was to use one point to break the whole situation, further exacerbating the situation until the entire Qian army was thrown into chaos, resulting in a complete and utter defeat. "Xingtian, follow me, let's continue charging back!" After briefly observing the battlefield situation, Xue Rengui called out, immediately choosing a direction and leading his black-clad cavalry, covered in dust, to charge towards the Qian army again.

Compared to the first wave of all-out assault and breaching of the formation, which emphasized sheer force and overwhelming power, this one wave of attack was all about overwhelming strength and relentless assault.

Xue Rengui's second wave of attack was much more skillful. This second wave served more as a coercion and suppression, forcing the already collapsed Qian soldiers to charge towards the rest of the Qian army formation, letting them defeat their own men.

Otherwise, even if the 20,000-plus Qian army soldiers offered their necks to behead the more than 300,000, it wouldn't be possible to kill them all in a short time.

"Brothers, follow me closely, stick with your leader!" Zhou Qing, the leader of the eight gang leaders, called out and took the lead in following closely behind Xue Rengui, helping Xue Rengui protect his flanks so that Xue Rengui could focus on advancing and carving out the enemy lines with peace of mind.

"Ding! The combined skill of Wang Xinxi, Wang Xinhe, Jiang Xingben, Jiang Xingba, Zhou Qing, Xue Xiantu, Li Qingxian, and Li Qinghong has been activated. When they are on the same battlefield as Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui's strength increases by 2. When Xue Rengui is the commander of an army, his leadership value is increased by an additional 1 point."

Xue Rengui's command value has increased to 106, and his martial prowess has increased to...

"kill!"

Five thousand black cavalry surged forward once more, like a black blade drawn from its sheath, plunging fiercely into the Qian army's ranks once more.

Meanwhile, within the Qian army, Ji Chengfu's face was ashen. After the Han cavalry charged out, he immediately found a high place to observe the situation on the battlefield.

However, even in the pitch black during the march, with torches everywhere, the area that could be observed was still limited.

Scouts kept bringing back reports of what was happening on the battlefield, but the information gathered was always chaotic and made it impossible for him to make an effective assessment of the overall situation.

Most importantly, with the boost from two strategist skills and a combination skill, Xue Rengui's leadership value has now reached a staggering 106 points, surpassing even Ji Chengfu's.

Moreover, Xue Rengui was on the front line. During the process of digging out the enemy's formation, he discovered the weaknesses in the Qian army's battle and was able to react immediately.

On the other hand, Ji Chengfu needed to go through scouts to get information about the battlefield, and it would take time to relay his orders.

This time difference is extremely critical in the current situation. Even if Ji Chengfu can make the right decision, the situation on the battlefield will be completely different after his order is given due to the Black Riders' attack.

Therefore, despite Ji Chengfu issuing several orders, the situation not only failed to improve but worsened. If things continued to develop in this way, a complete collapse was likely only a matter of time.

"Pass on the order!" Ji Chengfu's voice was low as he gritted his teeth and commanded, "Order each general to form a battle formation with their own unit as the center. Anyone who attacks the formation, regardless of whether they are friend or foe, shall be killed on sight!"

"Ding, Ji Chengfu, the Military Master..."
