"My lord."

Zhao Yun and the other generals learned that Lu Yao had returned to the formation and immediately rushed over. Although the battle was tragic and everyone was bloodied, no one was killed, only some minor injuries were insignificant.

"How's the battle going at the Gorge?" Lu Yao asked in a deep voice.

The generals looked helpless.

The three knots of the golden ring are worthy of being the marshal of the three caves under the account of the barbarian king Meng Shu, and the defense line is arranged tightly and very organized. The generals launched a series of charges like a wheel battle, losing many soldiers and horses, but still failed to break through the gorge and open up a retreat.

"I'll take someone over to see it. Zilong, you take the others to block Meng Huo, and cooperate with the ambushes on both sides to clear the rest of the barbarians. Lu Yao thought for a moment, and then ordered.

"Order." Zhao Yun and other generals hugged their fists and received orders, and immediately rushed to the rear to supervise the battle.

Lu Yao sent Zhao Yun and other generals away, and immediately rode his horse to the mouth of the gorge ahead. At this time, the battle situation here is not inferior to that in the rear. The three knots of the golden ring laid down a triple defense line at the mouth of the gorge, which were interlocking and firmly locked the mouth of the gorge.

The mouth of the gorge is the last retreat, and it is no secret in the whole army. At this time, everyone scrambled to be the first, desperately attacking the defense line at the mouth of the gorge. However, the first line of defense under the three knots of the Golden Ring is extremely cunning. The army came from cover, and the defenders retreated as soon as they resisted. Behind the defense line, it was full of deer and horses, like a forest of rocks, and it contained the army to cover the killing. When morale drops, the defenders shout to kill and launch a counterattack.

The barbarians came from the poor mountains and rivers of southern Xinjiang, and the terrain did not affect it at all. With only one wave of charges, Lu Yao's army was forced out of the defensive line, and Lu Yao's army was killed and wounded by two or three thousand people at a very small price.

Lu Yao saw that his army had to retreat again, and his brows furrowed tightly. The three knots of the golden ring forcibly changed the terrain and gave full play to the advantages of the barbarians, and he was really a rare famous general of the Southern Barbarians. At this rate, even if all the soldiers and horses are exhausted, they may not be able to break through the gorge.

In contrast, Meng Huo's side in the rear is not worried, but this side has dragged most of the soldiers and horses.

He only brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Encountering Meng Huo's ambush, and taking advantage of information asymmetry, he simply created the illusion of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. But the illusion is just an illusion after all, the two sides fought fiercely, and now he can only use 6,000 soldiers and horses.

"Change to the Taiping Technique!"

This thought just flashed in Lu Yao's mind, and he immediately denied it. Changing to the Taiping technique, with Cai Yan's combination of vigorous and resolute skills, it is true that he can break through the first line of defense, but just one vigorous and resolute action cannot have much impact on the next two lines of defense.

The Golden Ring Sanjie obviously has his detailed information, and intends to pull the three lines of defense extremely far. With a short duration of more than 20 seconds, I am afraid that I will have no strength left when I am halfway there.

Denied this idea, Lu Yao thought left and right, and tried to deduce the hole cards in his hand one by one, but although there were many hole cards, they were not suitable. The only thing that doesn't know the exact effect is the special general's meter that rewards the Faction Victory.

Nether Ride

Thinking of this, Lu Yao immediately ordered the soldiers and horses in front to retreat and fight again. When the last rider retreated to his own formation, he took a deep breath and pointed forward with the Black Prison Five Fowl Fan in his hand.

I saw countless black gases suddenly shooting out from the five birds of the Black Prison. These black gases shot out twenty or thirty meters away, strangely condensed in the air, entangled with each other like living creatures, like black snakes, which made people chill.

After a while, the black gas condensed into a human form. When the black qi dissipated, rows of cavalrymen covered in black armor and swarthy horses lined up across the battlefield.

Lu Yao endured the feeling of weakness caused by the exhaustion of his skills, and took a brief look at the summoned Nether Ghost Rider. These ghostly ghosts ride in a uniform of fully covered black armor, and the black horses under their crotch are also covered in almost full black armor. As if sensing the gaze of the master behind them, a group of ghostly ghosts immediately raised their hands and grabbed them. A black-robed halberd was grasped in his hand.

"It turned out to be heavy cavalry." Lu Yao was surprised and delighted.

On the battlefield, cavalry is the most. Among the cavalry, the heavy cavalry is the most. He didn't expect that the summoned Nether Ghost Rider would be a heavy cavalry comparable to a tank.

The first time he summoned the ghost rider, Lu Yao gave a full score without hesitation. Although the number of horsemen is only one hundred and eighty, whether it is the full-covered black armor on the cavalry, or the black armor on the black horse, or the Zhangba halberd in the hand, it is completely an indestructible weapon.

"Kill!" Lu Yao gave an order, and the five birds in the black prison fanned towards the mouth of the gorge.

Two red lights suddenly flashed under the helmet of one hundred and eighty ghost riders, and at the same time, the black horse under the crotch quietly rushed over. One hundred and eighty horsemen were like one man, and they launched a silent charge in front of the defense line in a neat line.

At this time, the Golden Ring Sanjie suddenly saw that the one hundred and eighty horsemen were like the ghost riders crawling out of hell and launched a silent charge, and secretly said that it was not good, and immediately repeated the old trick, ordering the defenders of the first line of defense to retreat, trying to block the charge of the few hundred and eighty horsemen with the help of the deer and the horse.

But he miscalculated.

One hundred and eighty ghost riders broke through the first line of defense. The ghost rider in the front row suddenly struck, and the halberd stabbed out, and it was actually a one-handed deer to pick up the horse. Whenever there was any omission, the second row, and even the third row of ghost riders did the same, and they forced a passage in the dense deer and horses, and approached the second line of defense.

The corners of Lu Yao's mouth twitched, and he lost no time in ordering another assault. At the sound of an order, two thousand soldiers and horses let out an earth-shattering shout of killing, and their morale covered the past like a rainbow.

"Not good." Seeing that the Netherworld Ghost Rider had broken through the Great Array of Deer Horse Rejection, the Golden Ring Sanjie's complexion changed suddenly, and he urgently ordered the defenders to make a desperate bet to block the one hundred and eighty Netherworld Ghost Riders.

In a few moments, one hundred and eighty ghost riders crashed into the second line of defense, ignoring life and death. The halberd wielded, bringing a touch of crimson each time. And the defenders' blades and bodies, whether cavalry or black horses, seemed to be unconscious, allowing the blades to bring a little spark on the armor, and continue to harvest one life after another.

"Withdraw." Jinhuan Sanjie secretly complained bitterly, and hurriedly ordered to retreat to the third line of defense. He could see that the morale of the army had been lost, and continuing to fight was nothing more than a lingering breath, and when the army in the rear covered up, the second line of defense would be broken in an instant.

Breaking through two lines of defense in a row, the morale of the whole army was high, and everyone fought bravely to be the first, not willing to lag behind a mere 180 ghost riders. The army covered up and quickly caught up with the Nether Riders, approaching the third line of defense.

The third line of defense failed to stop the near-invulnerable Nether's charge. When the Wraith's rider crashed into the defensive line, the Golden Ring Triknot lost his soul and fled on his horse.

The near-perfect situation was broken like this.

The three knots of the golden ring went blank in their minds. He knew that Meng Huo hated Lu Yao to the core, and this was the best time to take revenge. He also did quite well, and he was almost on the verge of achieving his goal of blocking Lu Yao out of the gorge. But in the blink of an eye, the situation reversed. A mere one hundred and eighty cavalry broke through the three lines of defense he had carefully built. The Deer Horse Rejection Array, which had previously shown great might, was completely useless in front of these heavy riders.

The defense line at the mouth of the gorge was opened, and Lu Yao immediately ordered the whole army to fight and retreat into the canyon. The terrain of the canyon is narrow, and only a few soldiers and horses can resist for at least half an hour. Under the layers of defense, even if Meng Shu is no longer afraid of losses, it will be difficult to catch up with him.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Meng Shu watched Lu Yaojun fight and retreat, entering the canyon, his eyes were red, and he waved the giant axe desperately, and took the lead in launching the final charge.

After paying nearly 2,000 casualties of soldiers and horses, Lu Yao finally withdrew his entire army into the canyon.
