Chapter 814

Aijart waited for two days, and only one of the three scouts sent back. Moreover, the scout team where this person was located was approaching Xihekou Army Town when they encountered the Liang army patrolling nearby. After a fierce battle, he ran back. The only information he brought back was that the Liang army had built a camp a few miles away from Xihekou City. As for how many people there were in the camp, what kind of troops were completely unknown. The other two scouts simply had no news, and it must be a little bit of danger.

Nejarth began to think that the Liang army's vigilance must be much higher than before, and sent more scouts to set up more posts, which made his scouts so frustrated. So why did the Liang army do this at all costs? Naturally, it was to prevent themselves from exploring their reality. There was only one possibility here. That is, there were not many cavalry teams coming to reinforce, and only a thousand cavalry. If they were seen by themselves, they would be attacked immediately. So they bluffed to establish camps, which shocked themselves and did not dare to attack easily.

He talked about this idea to his deputy general, and the other party pondered for a moment: "This possibility is very high, but there is another possibility, that is, they intend to make us think like this, but in fact they set a trap for us to wait for us to fall into the trap."

Ahjalt thought it was true. This military affairs were false and real. How could he rely entirely on guessing the other party’s ideas to make decisions? After thinking about it, he decided not to take risks and not to miss the opportunity.

So he sent a war cavalry of two thousand cavalry to attack the Liang army camp and find out the reality. If the opponent really doesn’t have much military strength, even if the two thousand cavalry cannot capture the camp, he can escape unscathed and send a large army to crush it. On the contrary, if the opponent is trapped, it is better to throw away two thousand soldiers and horses than to wipe out the entire army.

These two thousand Sassanid cavalry rushed between Xihekou City and the camp, lined up and waited for it, and under the leadership of the general, they began to yell in stiff Chinese and curse briefly and swear in unison.

After a while, there was no movement in the city, but the gate of the camp suddenly opened, and a war cavalry surged out. It was Guan Yu who led more than a thousand light cavalry to rush out. This time he took a strange risk and did not leave any soldiers or soldiers in the camp.

Seeing this, the generals of the Sasanian cavalry hurriedly shouted and asked everyone to prepare. Before he finished speaking, the first round of arrow rain had already shot at them. Under the dense pouring of thousands of arrows, hundreds of Sasanian cavalry were shot down. There were people shouting and neighing everywhere, and the Sasanian cavalry team was in chaos. However, some of the riders of the Sasanian cavalry had also taken out their crossbows and shot them. Many of the Liang army's light cavalry Feiyu were also shot.

The two sides collided with each other in turn, and the light cavalry flying feathers rushed into the other's cavalry formation with slashing sabers. The blade of a Liang army light cavalry had just cut open the neck of a Sassanian cavalry, and he was knocked down by a sudden shot. Before the Sassanian cavalry had time to withdraw his cavalry, Guan Yu waved his sword and rushed to the front. A green light flashed by, and the Sassanian cavalry's head flew into the air. When Guan Yu pulled the knife, he let the blade cut the neck of another Sassanian cavalry mount. The mount let the sabers slam his master down the horse, and then was trampled into flesh mud by the galloping war horses on both sides.

A small half of the Sassanian cavalry were heavy-armed cavalry in both man and horse, and their total strength was nearly twice that of Guan Yu, so they had a lot of advantages in strength. They began to be a little confused under the assault of the Liang army's light cavalry, but then calmed down and fought back and forth with the Liang army's cavalry.

In the endless battle, as time goes by, the Sassanian cavalry gained more and more the upper hand. However, Guan Yu was not panicked at all. He had already found the opponent's main general in several hedges with the enemy. He turned his horse's head and rushed towards the opponent's black cavalry team with more than 700 remaining cavalry, shouting loudly: "Cone formation!"

More than 700 cavalrymen quickly changed their formation behind him, forming a conical cavalry formation. However, Guan Yu was not at the front, and his three personal soldiers lined up in the shape of a finished character blocking him. Two personal soldiers each protected him.

When the personal soldier in front was five battles away from the enemy cavalry formation, he fell off his horse when he was caught in a jaw. Then the conical cavalry formation rushed into the Sasanian cavalry. Two Guan Yu soldiers in front wielded four-foot long slashing swords and assassinated them.

One of them collided with the oncoming enemy cavalry and died together. The other man slashed the head of the enemy cavalry on the opposite cavalry, but unfortunately the other was a heavy cavalry, wearing a solid iron helmet, and only a few sparks were splashed. Then he was stabbed by the other party with a gun, and the cavalry passed through his body and could not be taken back. The Sassanian heavy cavalry was also cut off by Feiyu, the light cavalry behind Guan Yu, with a slashing sabre.

Guan Yu himself danced the Qinglong Yanyue Sword into a green light. All the enemy cavalry in front of him were swept away by this sword light, and turned into broken limbs and body. Guan Yu would go on a battle every time he killed someone, but he stared at the enemy general. The Sassanian general was already panicked when he saw Guan Yu running for him and shouted: "Stop him quickly and block them!"

Before he finished speaking, the three Sasanian cavalry in front of him had already rolled under the horse one after another. Guan Yu was less than two fights away from him, and the Sasanian general's mind was blank and he didn't care much about it. He wanted to escape to one side. Guan Yu waved his sword and slashed him directly. He directly raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and rushed forward. The sharp blade of the knife head was directly shoveled into the opponent's back, cutting the spine, heart, and sternum. Then his body was lifted by Guan Yu in the air.

At the same time, more than ten light cavalry of Liang army, Fei Yu, urged his horse to step forward, surrounded Guan Yu, and tried his best to kill the enemy cavalry close to Guan Yu. At first, there were enemy cavalry coming up to try to attack and kill Guan Yu, but when they found that their commander was dead and the Liang army was extremely brave, their fighting will was instantly approaching zero. At first, someone fled backwards, and more and more people fled, and the scale of the defeat became larger and larger. Hundreds of Liang army chased each other and slashed hard, and kept chasing for more than ten miles before turning back.

When Nejarth received the news, his face turned pale, and the result was completely beyond his expectations. His two thousand war cavalry returned home and lost nearly half of his troops. However, the opponent only dispatched more than a thousand war cavalry, but in the end he still couldn't figure out how many troops the opponent had.

Just when Sassanid general Azejalt was hesitating and indecisive, the rest of Guan Yu's army had already arrived at Xihekou City. At this time, the Liang army in Xihekou had reached about 7,000 people, and the troops were no less than that of Azejalt.

It was not until this time that Ahjalt was convinced that the Liang army had only more than a thousand cavalry at the beginning, but it was too late to regret it.
