This side, the human-horse formation is scattered and disorganized from the impact, and the cavalry leader is still shouting, preparing to regroup the human-horse into formation.
On the other side, the Shang Chaozong human-horse formation remains intact even as they flank and attack, not giving the enemy a chance to catch their breath. They charge back with a thunderous boom.
In comparison, the difference is deadly on the battlefield between the scattered and regrouped on one side and the clustered on the other.
The wolf thief cavalry leader, seeing the charging formation approaching, screams frantically, "Regroup! Quick, quick..." but barely finishes before showing a look of shock.
Shang Chaozong, wielding his horse-cutting saber, charges at him. With a swing of his spear, the cavalry leader's attack is deflected. However, in the back, a continuous stream of flashing knives flies by, taking his life quickly. Suddenly, several blood splatters burst forth from his body as he falls from his horse, trampled into oblivion by the trampling hooves. The cavalry leader was killed before the formation was fully reassembled. Not only was there no resistance, there was no time to even construct an effective defense. Shang Chaozong seized the opportunity and led his elite warriors like a raging storm, tearing through everything in their path, causing people to fall backward, screaming in agony. Many wolf thieves, facing such an onslaught, quickly turned their horses and fled, causing the morale to collapse. Faced with less than five hundred riders, the over a thousand cavalry troops were defeated after only two charges! For Niu You Dao, the fighting scene was shocking. He had never seen such iron and blood combat He had seen many fights involving hundreds of people in the martial arts world, but they were incomparable to this. Even if he didn't understand the art of cavalry warfare, he could see the clear difference between the two cavalry troops. One needed its commander to direct and adjust at all times, appearing quite loose, while the other moved together as one, highly effective and mutually coordinated, with their battle flags crushing everything in their path!
Yuan Gang felt his blood boil, clenching his fists.
"I must learn the training techniques of the English Bright and Martial Guards..." Feng Ruonan muttered to herself, feeling the same shock as she saw less than five hundred riders defeat over a thousand cavalry troops after only two charges.
Even she had to admit that if she were leading a thousand riders to face Shang Chaozong, she would likely face the same outcome.
The battlefield situation didn't allow for any more thought. Shang Chaozong had defeated the enemy's cavalry head-on, allowing her to quickly seize the opportunity.
She knew that in plain terrain, cavalry was the most powerful attack weapon. The enemy's strongest weapon had been defeated by Shang Chaozong. The remaining infantry formation would be unable to withstand the cavalry's charge. She quickly ordered, "The left cavalry will attack the enemy's left wing infantry formation from the left. The right cavalry will attack the right wing. Both wings will converge!"
"Kill!" The commander of the left cavalry shouted loudly, leading two hundred riders to charge forward.
"Kill!" The commander of the right cavalry led two hundred riders to charge the enemy's right wing.
"Full speed ahead!" Wearing red attire, Feng Ruonan shouted loudly, waving her long banner, leading her four
" the one leading the cavalry is Shang Chaozong!" Finally, nearing the infantry formation, Xiang Wuren confirmed his suspicions. He had seen Shang Chaozong before, and this was one of the reasons he was sent here. He pointed at Shang Chaozong and yelled.
Yanduo and others looked serious, a bit unexpected. They did not expect that the main general Shang Chaozong would charge ahead of his soldiers and still think of trapping the enemy army before seizing the opportunity to strike.
Yanduo urgently urged Wu Ren, "Take him down, take him down quickly!" He knew that as long as Shang Chaozong was taken care of, even if he lost the battle, it would still be a victory.
"Let's go!" Yanduo shouted and dozens of mages flew up with him and soared away.
At this commotion, Bai Yao, who had been closely watching from the opposite side, flew up instantly. Except for a Jindan mage guard, Feng Ruonan, all the Sky Jade Gang disciples came out to attack. It was not that Bai Yao was unfeeling, but to some extent, Feng Ruonan was not as important as Shang Chaozong.
The two Jindan mages who were sent by the Sky Jade Gang beforehand to approach the battlefield flashed out for the first time, descending from the sky and shouting at Shang Chaozong, "Retreat!"
The two of them landed on Shang Chaozong's horse and each grabbed one of his arms, lifting him off the horse and taking him away from the battlefield.

"Princess, follow the prince!" Blue Ruo shouted, scanning the surroundings.
Shang Shuqing immediately turned her horse around, holding the battle flag and following the floating Shang Chaozong.
The noise on the battlefield was so loud that people far away could not hear what was being said. A group of guards only knew to follow the battle flag. Wherever Shang Shuqing ran with the flag, the cavalry followed.
As the figures in the sky swayed, Bai Yao, who had come first, was already in a fierce aerial battle with Yanduo. His sword flashed and Yanduo let out a miserable cry, falling from the sky. Bai Yao kicked off Yanduo's back and leapt back into the air, pouncing on another person.
"Fire arrows!" Wu Ren roared.
In the face of cavalry's flanking attacks, the infantry phalanx had already formed a shield formation, and the archers behind the shields shot out a rain of arrows. The cavalry charging from both sides lifted their shields to fend off the arrows, and there were occasional warhorses overturning and falling in the rain of arrows. The cavalry leader charging from the left swung his meteor hammer and crashed into the first shield in front of him, and his warhorse also rammed fiercely into it, causing such a huge impact that the shield line was directly blasted out of a gap, and long spears pierced from behind. The warhorse let out a scream and sprayed blood. The warrior, falling with the meteor hammer, crawled and swung his shield to resist the approaching spears, while the meteor hammer swept across and knocked down many people.
Over his head, the horses behind him jumped, one after another, directly entering the infantry phalanx and tearing a gap in the defensive line. The following cavalry charged in directly
The cavalry on the right side also attacked and charged into the infantry, causing great threats. People could not stop the impact of the warhorses, let alone the charging cavalry in the battle formation. It was a massacre all the way, unstoppable, and screams could be heard everywhere.
Feng Ruonan led the troops and ignored the English Young Warrior Guards that bypassed her. She saw that the enemy had entered the range of archery and immediately ordered the horn to sound. The cavalry that had charged into the enemy formation immediately retreated. Three thousand infantry under Feng Ruonan's command rushed out at full speed, and a thousand archers pulled their bows and aimed at the sky. With a shout of "release," the arrows whizzed through the air and flew past Bai Yao and others who were fighting in the air, scaring them. They had to land and fight on the ground. It was not a joke to be hit by so many cold arrows.
The arrow rain continued to shoot, pouring into the enemy's formation, causing countless casualties and screams. When they raised their shields to defend themselves, the horn sounded again, and the cavalry on both wings rushed into the wolf bandit camp again.
At this time, the wolf bandit camp was almost in chaos. The three thousand troops under Feng Ruonan's command shouted and killed loudly, and their morale was almost overwhelming. The morale of the wolf bandit camp collapsed, and people began to flee. Also, a group of mages who were in close combat and affected by the arrow rain were mixed in the attacking army of three thousand people. They were hit by countless knives and swords, and their power was amazing, but they were nothing compared to this attacking army. Someone blocked a Sky Jade Gang disciple's sword, but several long spears behind him pierced his body. He let out a scream and fell to the ground. A group of rogue cultivators wielding weapons hammered him down, and the following crowd trampled over his body and rushed past.
Feng Ruonan waved her hand and a thousand archers put down their bows and arrows. They took up their weapons and shouted loudly, rushing towards the enemy camp.
Shang Chaozong's troops had returned to her side. Bai Yao, who had killed more than ten rogue cultivators, rushed out of the chaos and quickly turned around to chase several rogue cultivators flying towards Feng Ruonan.
The two Jindan mages brought back by Shang Chaozong nodded to protect the Jindan mage of Feng Ruonan and flew out to intercept several rogue cultivators. However, they could only stop one person at a time, and three people bypassed them and flew towards Feng Ruonan.
Feng Ruonan remained calm and raised her hand. The one hundred cavalry guarding her side drew their bows and arrows and shot at the mages rushing towards them.
The three mages split their palms in the air and shattered the arrows that were shot at them.
"Crossbowmen! Shoot in waves!" Shang Chaozong ordered while Feng Ruonan was giving orders. The English Young Warrior Guards quickly took out the crossbows hanging on their horses and shot them in waves. The enemy was delayed, and they bought time for Bai Yao to catch up.
Seeing Bai Yao, the God of Killing, coming back, the three rogue cultivators immediately scattered to both sides and fled desperately. They knew that they had missed the opportunity and fled to the depths of the wilderness. The disciples of Sky Jade Gang did not pursue them. Instead, they quickly returned to protect their leader.
Until the defeated troops scattered and fled into the mountains and could not regroup, Feng Ruonan sounded the retreat.
The fallen flag was supported by Blue Ruoting beside it. Blue Ruoting turned his head and was shocked to see Shang Shuqing looking shaky. Someone exclaimed, "The princess is injured!"
Shang Chaozong turned around suddenly, walked quickly over, and opened his arms to pick up Shang Shuqing. Upon inspection, he found that Shang Shuqing's back had a large wound, and her body was splattered with someone else's blood. If he hadn't paid attention, he wouldn't have known she was injured.
Shang Chaozong, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, knew that his sister had symptoms of excessive blood loss. His sister had been holding on hard and did not let the flag fall. Shang Chaozong immediately turned red-eyed and shouted, "Mages!"
