Empire

On the green plain, Liu Yidao led 3,000 cavalrymen to charge towards the Dynasty Army camp.

Liu Yidao fought his way up from a soldier to a lieutenant general, all thanks to his solid military exploits.

Although the Dynasty Army camp had nearly 100,000 troops stationed, Liu Yidao was fearless and dared to go into battle with only 3,000 light cavalrymen.

"Report——"

But when Liu Yidao led his troops to a place more than 20 miles away from the Wang Chao army camp, suddenly a scout came running back from the front, and a shrill voice came from afar.

"Stop!"

Liu Yidao raised his right hand high, and the three thousand cavalrymen behind him reined in their horses, and the slow-moving team stopped.

""What's going on?"

Seeing the scout running back panting, Liu Yidao asked loudly

""General, there are thousands of imperial cavalrymen running towards us!" the scout replied hastily.

""Hmm?"

As soon as the scout finished speaking, Liu Yidao heard the rumbling sound of iron hooves, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"Prepare to fight!"

Liu Yidao and his men originally wanted to launch a surprise attack on the Dynasty Army camp to test the strength of the Dynasty Army.

Now they are still some distance away from the Dynasty Army camp, and a group of Dynasty Army light cavalry rushed over. That means their whereabouts were leaked. Liu Yidao cursed his bad luck and ordered to fight.

Three thousand Qinghe Army light cavalry quickly lined up, and with shouts, the team that was scattered because of the march began to reorganize.

In just a moment, a group of Dynasty light cavalry wearing black armor and black battle robes appeared in the sight of Liu Yidao and his men.

Seeing the attire of these Dynasty Army cavalry, Liu Yidao's pupils shrank slightly, because the opponent was the elite black cavalry.

It was too late to order a retreat now, because both sides were cavalry, and it was not a wise choice to leave your back to the enemy.

Thousands of General Yang Hao led 5,000 black cavalry and light cavalry to fight. When he saw Liu Yidao and the others, his cold eyes were full of murderous intent.

The Inspector Yang Fang who adopted him died at the hands of these Qinghe rebels. Yang Hao hated the Qinghe rebels to the core. The 5,000 black cavalry and light cavalry were also murderous, with murderous looks on their faces. They wished they could slaughter all the Qinghe rebels.

Their black cavalry had been defeated by the Qinghe rebels several times, so much so that they were humiliated and ridiculed everywhere. They had been holding their breath for a long time.

Now seeing these Qinghe rebels, the black cavalrymen were sharpening their knives, wanting to kill them to vent their anger. As the saying goes, the brave wins when two meet on a narrow road. The two cavalry units stared at each other fiercely, wanting to kill each other.

"Attack!"

Yang Hao, as the commander of a thousand men of the Royal Guard, personally commanded a battalion of 5,000 black cavalry and light cavalry.

"Kill!"

Following Yang Hao's order, the five thousand Black Cavalrymen roared in unison, and immediately charged towards Liu Yidao and his men in a sharp attack formation.

"Damn it!"

Liu Yidao couldn't help cursing inwardly when he saw the black cavalry rushing towards him and the rows of shining lances and swords.

""Triangle formation, kill!"

Liu Yidao also drew out his sword, spurred his horse and rushed out.

The three thousand Qinghe Army light cavalry, with Liu Yidao as the spearhead, formed a triangle attack formation, trying to fight against the black cavalry.

The sound of iron hooves rumbled, and the speed of the horses of both sides soon reached the extreme, rushing towards each other with an indomitable attitude.

Liu Yidao clung tightly to his horse's back, and he could even hear the whistling wind beside his ears.

Soon, in the deafening shouts of killing, the two sides collided head-on like two mountain torrents.

On the front line where the two sides collided, countless swords and lances stabbed at each other fiercely, and people and horses fell down immediately, and countless limbs and broken bodies were thrown high in the blood rain.

Liu Yidao felt that there were densely packed heads in front of him, like a wall, suppressing him and making him breathless.

But he knew that this was a life-and-death fight, and he had to quickly wave the sword in his hand, slashing horizontally and vertically, trying to kill a bloody way in this wall of people.

"puff!"

""Ah!"

A Qinghe cavalryman guarding Liu Yidao suddenly screamed, his body pierced by a lance.

The Black Cavalryman holding the lance also had amazing arm strength, and with a strong kick, he threw the Qinghe cavalryman away.

"Bastard!"

Liu Yidao saw this scene, his eyes were bloodshot, waving his sword and rushing forward, chopping the black cavalryman into two pieces.

However, an inch longer is an inch better. Facing the black cavalry lances with an advantage in length, many Qinghe cavalrymen waving their swords were pierced by the lances before they could fall forward.

Amid the screams, the vanguards of the Qinghe Army were immediately knocked off their horses. The black cavalry was like a wedge, with a dense formation, fiercely embedded in the ranks of the Qinghe Army cavalry, and wherever they passed, a bloody storm was set off. Although Liu Yidao was brave, he was still very brave.

Wu, he hacked and chopped all the way, killing more than a dozen Black Cavalrymen in a row before breaking through the Black Cavalry formation.

However, the Qinghe cavalrymen behind him were directly scattered in this attack, as if they were sifted through a sieve, and suddenly became much sparser.

Liu Yidao turned his horse's head and saw that his more than 3,000 cavalrymen were reduced by half in just a blink of an eye. He was immediately heartbroken and twitched.

On the other hand, the Black Cavalry formation did not disperse. After the two sides crossed and rushed past, they used their superb horse control skills to make a half circle in an arc, and turned around again to assemble.

""Commander-in-Chief, these bastards are too powerful. We are no match for them. Let's retreat."

Seeing the ferocious-looking Black Cavalrymen, many of the surviving Qinghe Cavalrymen were afraid.

Although they had defeated the Black Cavalrymen before, it was always the case of the majority bullying the minority.

Now the enemy had more people and they were all fierce and powerful. They didn't want to lose their lives here.

"Retreat!"

Liu Yidao saw that the other side would soon complete the formation and charge again. Although he was extremely unwilling, he also knew that they were indeed no match for him. He gritted his teeth and decisively ordered a retreat.

""Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The blood-stained Qinghe cavalry quickly retreated in panic at the shouts of the officers.

"Kill them all!"

Yang Hao saw the Qinghe cavalry fleeing in a panic, his eyes full of bloodthirsty murderous intent, and ordered a pursuit.

The murderous Black Cavalry light cavalry quickly rode their horses and raised their swords to pursue Liu Yidao and his Qinghe cavalry.

Yang Hao and his men chased them all the way to the Qingshui River, and killed thousands of Qinghe cavalry before stopping the pursuit.

Although Liu Yidao successfully escaped back to the south bank, only a few hundred of the three thousand cavalry he led followed him back, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

Yang Hao led his army to behead thousands of people as a general of a thousand men, which not only won the respect of the Black Cavalry, but also made the fourth prince very happy.

"Yang Hao led his troops to behead thousands of people and made outstanding military achievements. He was promoted to the commander of the 13th Battalion of the Black Cavalry!"

The Fourth Prince was so happy that he directly appointed him as the commander of the Black Cavalry in front of everyone.

"Fourth Prince, although Yang Hao led his troops to behead thousands of people, he killed a general of the imperial court without authorization, so he should be severely punished, otherwise the army will not obey."

Seeing that the fourth prince took the opportunity to insert people into the Black Cavalry, the old general Zhang Yihai could not sit still and used Yang Hao's killing of the Black Cavalry camp commander without authorization to make a fuss.

"General Zhang, why did the Black Cavalry fail so many times? The fourth prince sneered.

"The Black Cavalry is filled with too many cowards, otherwise they would not have been defeated in every battle." A young general spoke up immediately. The

Fourth Prince nodded and said,"There are too many cowards, which is why our army has been defeated in every battle. I think Yang Hao killed them very well. It’s time to clean up those who disobey orders and are cowardly."

"The old general is also a reasonable person. He would not protect those who are afraid of death, right?"The fourth prince's eyes became sharp.

After hearing this, although the old general Zhang Yihai knew that the fourth prince began to blatantly interfere with the Black Cavalry, he could not refute

"I am dedicated to the public good, so I will not protect those who are afraid of death."Zhang Yihai said

"That's good.

From now on, I will personally take charge and rectify the military affairs of the Black Cavalry!

"But what Zhang Yihai didn't know was that the Fourth Prince's methods were swift and fierce.

Before he could react, he took advantage of this opportunity to rectify the internal affairs of the Black Cavalry.

In just half a day, three lieutenant generals, two battalion commanders and five deputy battalion commanders of the Black Cavalry were arrested and executed for dereliction of duty, disobeying military orders, and embezzling military pay.

Then they were replaced by a group of young generals loyal to the Fourth Prince.
