Chapter 675: One wave comes after another
He didn't care about the mere 2,000 Dragon City cavalry. No matter how strong they were, they would not be enough to intimidate the relatively intact Bordered Blue Banner behind him.
What he cared about was that if he was dragged here like this, once Murong Chui caught up with him, he would be truly hopeless.
"You Xianbei bastards, don't be too complacent!"
"Even if we die here today, the Jurchen Alliance will not let you go!"
Aisin-Gioro Amin raised his head slightly and said through gritted teeth.
"Really?"
"Then let your Jurchen alliance give it a try. I, the Murong Xianbei, have never been afraid of any challenge."
Murong Xi chuckled, his eyes full of disdain.
After saying that, Murong Xi waved his hand, and the Longcheng cavalry behind him immediately launched a charge, rushing towards the Bordered Blue Banner cavalry like a tide, with long spears like a forest and momentum like a rainbow.
Aisin-Gioro Amin saw this and knew that he had no way to retreat. He could only fight to the death to disperse these Longcheng cavalry as soon as possible and delay the battle.
"Warriors of the Blue Banner, follow me for the glory of the Jurchens!"
He waved the saber in his hand and shouted loudly.
Under the leadership of Aisin-Gioro Amin, the Bordered Blue Banner Cavalry also launched a charge, colliding fiercely with the Longxiang Army and engaging in a fierce battle.
On the battlefield, swords flashed and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Murong Chui selected the best warriors of the Murong clan to train the Longcheng cavalry, who were fearless and brave. With their superb martial arts and strict discipline, they continuously killed the Bordered Blue Banner cavalry and held on to the Bordered Blue Banner tightly, not allowing them to leave.
Although the Bordered Blue Banner Cavalry were also brave and good at fighting, they were only interested in leaving as soon as possible and were unable to display their abilities. Under the fierce attack of the Dragon City Cavalry, they gradually showed signs of fatigue.
"That Aisin-Gioro guy, come up with a solution quickly, we can't stand it anymore!"
Wanyan Yindanzi said while panting that the two brothers were already in danger under Yuwen Chengdu's hands and were almost beaten to death on the spot by Yuwen Chengdu.
Even though he was rescued by Amin, he already looked like he was dying and exhausted.
Therefore, within a short period of time, the two brothers had suffered multiple injuries and their armor was stained red with blood.
"You have to hold on even if you can't hold it back!"
Aisin-Gioro Amin roared, swinging the saber in his hand continuously, and occasionally taking breaks to command the Blue Banner next to him to fight.
However, the reality is cruel.
As time went on, the number of the Blue Banner Cavalry who were constantly attacked by the Dragon City Cavalry on the periphery became smaller and smaller, and was almost reduced by half, and the defense line in the front gradually collapsed.
Aisin-Gioro Amin was filled with resentment when he saw the tragic situation at the forefront of the Bordered Blue Banner.
He knew that they had completely lost today, and lost miserably!
He looked back at Wanyan Jindanzi and Wanyan Yindanzi, and saw that they were both covered in wounds and exhausted.
"Let's go, let's retreat."
There was a hint of determination in Aisin-Gioro Amin's voice. He made the same choice as before and directly abandoned the Blue Banner cavalry on the front line.
He took a deep breath, withdrew his gaze from the gradually collapsing defense line in front of him, and turned to the Blue Banner cavalry behind him who were still following closely.
Wanyan Jindanzi and Wanyan Yindanzi looked at each other with a complex emotion in their eyes. They knew that the decision at this moment meant giving up, and leaving those comrades who fought bloody battles on the front line on this land.
But the reality is cruel. Continuing to fight will only result in more loss of life and further weakening the power of the Jurchen alliance.
"us……"
Wanyan Jindanzi seemed to be hesitant to speak. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
After all, they were different from the Wanyan cavalrymen who had been abandoned before. They were their own people. Even if they had fallen to that point, it was mostly their fault. They dared not bark a few words and say that Amin was disloyal.
This time, the ones abandoned were the Blue Banner under Amin's own command. It seemed that the two of them had no right to say anything. They should have been secretly happy that they were not abandoned by Amin.
Therefore, he finally just nodded silently and rode his horse to keep up with Aisin-Gioro Amin.
Wanyan Yindanzi followed closely behind. Although he was filled with reluctance, he also understood that now was not the time to act on impulse.
Aisin-Gioro Amin, leading the remaining Bordered Blue Banner cavalry, quickly moved across the grassland like a wounded wolf.
The heavy sound of horse hooves echoed in the silent air, but in Murong Xi's eyes, the back figure looked so desolate and lonely.
Murong Xi stood on the hillside, looking at the direction where Aisin-Gioro Amin and others fled, with a meaningful smile on his face.
And he had no intention of continuing the pursuit. Instead, he calmed down and commanded the Longcheng cavalry to encircle and suppress the Blue Banner cavalry that had been abandoned by Amin.
"Dragon City Cavalry, listen to my orders!"
Murong Xi's voice echoed on the battlefield, and he waved the spear in his hand, pointing it at the surrounded Blue Banner cavalry.
"Catch them all in one fell swoop and let these Jurchen barbarians know that the prestige of our Xianbei tribe cannot be violated!"
Upon hearing this, the many Dragon City cavalrymen below immediately launched a more fierce attack, rushing towards the surrounded Blue Banner cavalry like a tide, with long spears like a forest and momentum like a rainbow.
Although the Blue Banner cavalry were in a desperate situation, they still did not give up resistance. Instead, they continued to wave their weapons and fought a desperate battle with the Longcheng cavalry.
On the battlefield, swords and sabers flashed and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Every confrontation is accompanied by the disappearance of life and the blooming of glory.
However, knowing that they had become abandoned, they were filled with despair, and any resistance seemed so powerless.
As time went on, the number of surrounded Blue Banner cavalry became smaller and smaller, and the hastily formed defense line gradually collapsed.
Aisin-Gioro Amin hurriedly looked back at the scene from a distance, his heart filled with pain.
Those abandoned soldiers are using their lives to buy him a chance to escape.
But he had no intention of stopping. He just turned around silently and continued to flee into the distance with the remaining Blue Banner cavalry.
After Aisin-Gioro Amin and the Bordered Blue Banner hurriedly escaped for a distance, just when they thought they were about to get out of trouble and could breathe a sigh of relief, a black line quietly emerged on the distant horizon, accompanied by a continuous sound of horse hooves, slowly approaching like a ghost in the dark night.
That scene and that momentum made Aisin-Gioro Amin's heart sink suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
The cavalry was dressed in distinctive Xianbei clothing, their armor shining coldly in the sun, their war horses were majestic, and their hooves stepped on the ground, as if the earth was shaking.
The high-flying flag fluttered in the wind, and on it was embroidered an eagle with its wings spread out, ready to take off. It was the emblem of the Yuwen clan of the Xianbei people, symbolizing bravery and freedom.
