Up in the mountains!
Upon witnessing this scene, Tuoba Wanli's face turned extremely grim. He frowned and said, "He actually stood by and watched the Wolf Cavalry being slaughtered, Asili didn't even go to their aid! What an idiot!"
The cavalry were actually tied down by the infantry. Weren't they supposed to just provide cover? They've actually gotten themselves into trouble.
That was bad enough, but the opponent's terrifying combat power also made him tremble with fear.
No wonder Yelü Dafeng was so easily wiped out, and Great Wind Valley was swept away; the enemy's fighting power is truly formidable.
"Your Majesty, these two infantry units are likely not ordinary; otherwise, Lin Yi wouldn't have brought them along. Asili currently in dire straits; he's already entangled with the enemy!"
Beside him, Ashina Dubi couldn't help but frown.
Now that it was already bright, they could see the enemy infantry's attack, an attack whose intensity was definitely not something ordinary infantry could possess.
If this continues, Asili will also perish inside.
Even a king who was on good terms with Asili couldn't sit still any longer and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, should we go and help Asili? Otherwise, he might die there!"
Tuoba Wanli fell into deep thought. Going to meet him would likely mean being drawn into the battlefield.
If they didn't go to the rescue, then their 100,000-strong army would likely perish there, which was something he couldn't accept. The Northern Barbarians couldn't afford to continue suffering losses.
He gritted his teeth and said, " Aertai, you lead 100,000 troops to provide support and you must rescue Asili!"
"Yes!"
Aertai nodded and immediately mustered his troops to go down and provide support.
Looking at the densely packed army below, Tuoba Wanli couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. If he didn't find a way to counter the enemy's heavy cavalry, he was afraid he wouldn't have a good time.
The enemy's fighting strength exceeded his expectations, and he began to understand the predicament the Xining Army had faced back then; it was truly a difficult situation.
The enemy's crossbows were truly outrageous, utterly inhuman.
There are even 10,000 heavy cavalry, which is a huge problem; we must find a way to get rid of them.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him. His heart skipped a beat. Had something happened back there too?
"Your Majesty, our right flank has been attacked by the White Horse Volunteers. They are advancing with unstoppable momentum. The Third Prince has been defeated, leaving only a little over 30,000 men who have retreated back to the mountain!"
"Your Majesty, our left flank has also been attacked by Ma Chao. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry have killed more than 50,000 of our men and now they've blocked our left flank. I'm afraid our reinforcements won't be able to arrive!"
The two pieces of news that came one after another sent chills down everyone's spines; the two vanished cavalry units had finally made their move.
One of them is thrusting straight into their right flank; they're preparing to storm Great Jade Mountain Dayu.
The other one was even more ruthless, actually blocking the right flank, which was the direction from which reinforcements were coming. This Ma Chao was truly audacious.
" Lin Yi actually routed the heavy forces on both flanks!"
Tuoba Wanli's face was extremely ugly, and the hatred in his eyes was so intense that it seemed tangible. Lin Yi had actually driven him to this point.
His own two sons and nearly 200,000 troops were easily defeated by the White Horse Volunteers and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. This was an utter disgrace.
The key issue is that this time they lost more than 100,000 troops, leaving them with less than 300,000 men.
This is a huge problem!
Not only will they be unable to defeat Lin Yi, but they will also likely face his encirclement. One wrong move and they will be doomed!
Tuoba Wanli immediately felt anxious, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
call out!
Just then, a burst of fire shot into the sky and then exploded in mid-air.
Then several more flames shot into the sky, instantly igniting the entire Great Jade Mountain.
The commotion startled everyone, and even Tuoba Wanli felt a pang of anxiety. His instincts told him that this was definitely not a good thing, as if something major was about to happen.
"Hahaha!"
Upon seeing the fireworks, Lin Yi, halfway up the mountain, burst into laughter and said in a deep voice, "Sound the horn and launch the final attack! Gongsun Zan has succeeded!"
These fireworks were a pre-arranged signal. One firework might be a mistake, but so many fireworks going up meant that Gongsun Zan had successfully breached the left flank!
"Understood!"
Jia Xu's eyes lit up. Without saying anything more, he rode his horse into the front line and began to assign tasks to his respective legions.
Waaaaaah!
The deep horn sounded throughout the battlefield, instantly mobilizing the major legions under Xiliang's command.
Xiliang has launched a general offensive!
The army of over 300,000 men, including the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors, the Asura Army, the Formation-Breaking Camp, and the Dare-to-Die Battalion, roared and charged forward.
After giving his orders, Jia Xu returned to Lin Yi's side with a smile and said, "My lord, Tuoba Wanli is basically wiped out in this battle!"
The loss of over 100,000 troops at the front had already demoralized them, and now Gongsun Zan had advanced from the left flank all the way to Great Jade Mountain, which undoubtedly dealt them the final, fatal blow.
"That's fine too. The enemy only has cavalry. If we can't kill them, it will still be quite troublesome," Lin Yi said with a smile.
Although he didn't know why Tuoba Wanli suddenly changed his mind and abandoned his escape plan, it didn't affect him at all; in fact, it was exactly what he wanted to see.
Looking at Xu Chu beside him, who was eager to join the battle, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What's wrong, Zhongkang? Do you want to go and fight too?"
"I won't go, I must protect my lord!" Xu Chu shook his head firmly and said in a deep voice.
Although he wanted to join the war and wreak havoc, he knew in his heart that his lord was the most important person in Xiliang.
If his lord is lost, then he will be a sinner for all time.
"Don't worry, the person who can kill me hasn't been born yet!"
"And this time I will also be going to the battlefield. Who can kill me amidst thousands of troops!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter. He was wearing the Peerless Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Armor, with an outer layer of Cold Forged Armor, and possessed the Strength of Lü Bu. This was definitely a character with maxed-out attack and defense stats.
Unless surrounded by tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, there's no way they could kill him.
Now that we've arrived on the battlefield, we should at least shoot down a few enemies and experience the thrill of combat.
As the commander of his personal guard, Xu Chu commands a 10,000- Modao Battalion, a top-tier army. It would be a huge loss if he weren't allowed to demonstrate his skills.
"My lord is also going to the battlefield?" Jia Xu was taken aback; this was quite unexpected.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and smiled, "We'll just follow behind. Tuoba Wanli will probably die with his eyes wide open if he doesn't see me."
His mount was the Red Hare, and he was fully armored, showing no fear of going into battle.
"Oh well!"
