"Gongzheng, can you take out that cavalry?" Chen Gong didn't even turn his head, just looked at the situation below and asked.
"It's not easy. For the Military Spirit Legion, stamina and resilience are barely consud in such an intense war. My Vanguard Troops are few, and a conventional thod is basically impossible; the enemy is also cavalry." Gao Shun rarely said so much.
"Then do your best to hold that Military Spirit Legion, so Zhang Yide's main force can free up," Chen Gong nodded and directly gave Gao Shun the command. The biggest problem now was actually the Northern Huns Guards, leading less than a thousand Northern Huns, blocking Zhang Fei's main force, while the rest of the Northern Huns launched heavy attacks on Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao's troops.
"I'll do my best." Gao Shun nodded, mounted his horse, and the vanguard behind him mounted in unison as well. Then the fine horse under Gao Shun lifted its hooves and swiftly charged towards the enemy, while all the vanguard soldiers burst out at their maximum speed.
"The will of the vanguard..." Gao Shun, like the wind, rushed from the high hill to the outskirts of the Northern Huns within a few breaths. Then, with a light shout, all the soldiers behind him responded in unison, and silver radiance enveloped all of them, while a tallic luster also appeared on their warhorses.
The vanguard's speed was extrely fast. The miscellaneous Hu people outside the Northern Huns barely had ti to react and shoot arrows before being knocked away. The vanguard didn't slow down at all, and their speed kept increasing amidst the Hu people scattered across the battlefield.
In the sky, the cloud qi of the Northern Huns and miscellaneous Hu was split open, like slicing a cake. The vanguard cut through it, leaving a huge and difficult-to-recombine crack in the enemy's cloud qi.
"Fire arrows!" At this shocking scene, a Leader of a Thousand on the western defense of the Northern Huns shouted loudly. Hundreds of elite archers, led by the Falcon Shooters of the Northern Huns, nocked and shot their arrows simultaneously, and the arrow rain with imnse power covered the vanguard.
The next mont, all the vanguard either blocked the arrows with their small round shields, deflected them with their weapons, or skillfully dodged on horseback. In any case, the speed of the eight hundred vanguard did not decrease at all, and astonishingly, not a single person was shot off their horse.
Before the second wave of arrows from the Northern Huns arrived, Gao Shun had already coldly crushed all the archers blocking his way into at paste, then directly charged into the core of the Northern Huns.
All the vanguard showed no special expressions as they charged into the heart of the Northern Huns. Instead, they expanded their formation swiftly while advancing, creating a concave formation in the center of the Northern Huns within just a dozen breaths.
They then turned and charged straight through the Northern Huns' formation, reaching the rear of the Northern Huns Guards. At this point, the Northern Huns had started to react, but due to the vanguard's continuous path clearing and quick slaying, they couldn't mobilize their troops fast enough to pursue.
Zhao Yun's use of light cavalry was so precise that he slipped in through the paths cut open by various forces. With Gao Shun's forceful breakthrough, Zhao Yun naturally couldn't waste the opportunity to expand their gains. Seizing the mont when Gao Shun tore open the heart of the Northern Huns, Zhao Yun led all the White Horses to charge in, denying the Northern Huns any chance to regroup.
Following the montum, finding the opportunity after Gao Shun charged into the Northern Huns' formation, Zhao Yun unleashed a chaotic arrow rain, forcibly rupturing the Northern Huns formation that Gao Shun had turned concave, and then broke through successfully, cutting the Northern Huns' core in two.
After Zhao Yun successfully severed the main force of the Northern Huns, Zhang Liao turned and charged towards the torn section. By this ti, Zhang Liao had also caught his breath; the enemy had too many troops of high quality, it was not easy to swallow them in one go. It would be a better strategy to first reduce their numbers before devouring them completely.
Gao Shun, with a cold expression, launched a fierce attack, charging into the rear of the Northern Huns Guards before Xubo Cheng could react.
However, the Northern Huns Guards were not easy prey; they noticed the advance of Gao Shun's vanguard cavalry before he could get close enough to launch a final attack.
Their sense of vengeance from hundreds of years ago made them intuitively organize their forces before Gao Shun's vanguard cavalry arrived at the ideal attack point.
The formidable threat and the orderly actions amidst the chaotic formation quickly forced back the main force led by the Eighteen Riders of Yan and Yun, redirecting their focus solely to Gao Shun.
"You guys handle the other guys; I'll take care of them," Gao Shun said to the Eighteen Riders under Zhang Fei, and then without another word, directly launched a charge at the Northern Huns Guards, whose forces also burst forth as if in mutual understanding.
Both sides clashed within two breaths. At the final mont of a leap, they both adjusted their manpower and horsepower to the peak. However, unlike most cavalry who resolved collisions by simply holding their long spears tightly, these two Military Spirit Legions exhibited a significant degree of skill.
The Northern Huns Guards naturally thrust their long spears forward at the last leap of their warhorses, perfectly leveraging manpower and horsepower. This precise capture of the perfect mont in an instant was a slight reflection of the three-century-old Military Spirit inherited by the Northern Huns Guards.
At the mont when the Northern Huns thrust their spears, the vanguard coldly raised the small round shields fixed on their arms, deflecting the Northern Huns Guards' Pinnacle Strike with a slight angle, sparking a burst. Then, as their warhorses leapt, they smoothly drew out their sabers.
When their long spears were deflected, the Northern Huns Guards instinctively tilted to evade the vanguard's angled slash and then hunkered down to lift their spears again, thrusting in the direction the vanguard was forced open, showcasing greater accumulated strength at that mont.
The vanguard in the front line naturally pointed their spear tips straight ahead, trusting their comrades to cover their defenses.
In an instant, these two top-tier cavalry forces of the era brushed past each other. Except for a few Northern Huns Guards cut down by Gao Shun, everyone else was unscathed like the vanguard. This level of charge might be a final attack for other cavalry, but for these two, it was just a probe.
Watching several soldiers fall in the heart of the formation, the commanding officer of the Northern Huns Guards, a look of determination on his face, stare at Gao Shun. They had never feared any Inner Qi Manifestation, but this ti it was different.
