A slight difference can lead to a thousand miles of loss.

As of now, Sun Ce has certain technical advantages, but his advantage is not as great as he crushes his opponent. While ensuring the same protective effect, the horse armor created by Nanyang Iron Official is about 20% lighter than ordinary horse armor. No matter what method Huang Chengyan uses, it cannot be reduced.

However, the 20% weight gap became a fatal blow in Taishi Ci's hands. When the Xianbei people thought that the Han army's armored cavalry could no longer speed up, they not only successfully avoided the side attack of the Xianbei armored cavalry, but also caught Que Ji off guard.

The charge formation of Xianbei Armored Cavalry was already completed and could not turn in time. She watched the Han Army Armored Cavalry speed up again and pass by less than ten steps in front of them, but they had no choice but to do anything. Even if the opponent was slower, they could at least cut a corner and knock down more than ten people. Now they could only watch the opponent slip away from the front and then crash into the smoke and dust rolled up by the Han Army Armored Cavalry.

Que Ji was facing the most dangerous situation since the war. The Five Hundred Arc Cavalry was running towards him with vigorous murderous intent. It was too late for him to hide. If he didn't want to be knocked off the horse and trampled to death by the Arc Cavalry, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and face it.

Que Ji fought for many years, but he had almost no extra thoughts. He pulled out his sword and shouted loudly.

"kill--"

When the personal guards saw the Arctic rushing towards the front, they knew that the situation was dangerous and had no time to think about it, they immediately kicked the horse and accelerated. Especially the personal guards on both sides of Que Ji rushed out long before Que Ji gave the order, quickly closed them in front of Que Ji, and used their bodies to form a flesh shield to prevent Que Ji from being impacted by the Arctic rushing. They reacted very quickly and were very brave. They knew that they would die but no one retreated, and even without a trace of hesitation.

"Boom!" The armored cavalry arrived and collided with Que Ji's personal guard cavalry.

"Puff!" The spear entered the body and pierced the bodies of one knight after another.

"Crack!" The spear in the hands of the Xianbei knights stabbed out, but most of them failed to work. They either stabbed in the air or were slipped away by the arc armor on the Han knights. Apart from being stabbed in the front, they could not cause fatal damage at all. The effect of the battle knife was even more unsatisfactory. Although they cut out dents and ripped out a series of sparks, they could not cause real damage to the knight.

The Han knights ignored their attacks and leveled their spears, and stabbed them when they encountered them. No matter whether the opponent was wearing leather or iron armor, as long as they stabbed them, they would be penetrated. Even if they were not fatal, they would lose their combat effectiveness.

Although these Xianbei knights were elite under Que Ji's command, they suffered a great loss when they encountered these armored cavalry, and one after another was taken down by the horse. The armored cavalry maintained their speed and quickly approached Que Ji.

"Defense intensified! Defensive!" Que Ji was furious and roared. He had experience in using armored cavalry and knew that armored cavalry was most afraid of the opponent's dense defense. Once they squeezed together and lost their speed, the armored cavalry was not even as good as the light cavalry, and could only be slaughtered by others.

Amid Que Ji's anxious shouts, more personal guards rode forward, forming a dense wall of humans in front of Que Ji. The war horses were connected to each other and could hardly move. The weapons in the knight's hands could not be used. The figures of companions were all in front of him. A little movement might cause accidental injury.

Que Ji's tactic was very timely. Seeing that the road ahead had been blocked, the Han army's armored cavalry naturally adjusted the direction, flew past both sides of Que Ji, and spears rose and fell, causing the guards beside Que Ji to fall one after another. Que Ji's personal guards were squeezed together, unable to display, and suffered heavy losses. When the last armored cavalry disappeared from them, the defensive formation around Que Ji was thinned a whole layer, with more than two hundred casualties, and there were almost no living knights on the outermost war horse.

Que Ji stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. A cold sweat broke out through his body and his whole body was cold. After years of fighting, he had used armored cavalry to attack the enemy, and was also attacked by the opponent armored cavalry countless times, but he had never been in danger this time. If he hesitated a little and slowed down for a moment, or if his personal guards were a little timid and did not block it in time, he might have been stepped on by armored cavalry to become meat paste now.

"Sir, sir." The guards cried out in horror, interrupting Que Ji's gratitude.

Que Ji looked forward along the fingers of the guard beside him, and saw a team of knights rushing down from the hillside. The knights who were rushing in the front almost wiped the tail of the Xianbei Arctic Cavalry and were rushing towards his central army. Taishici's battle flag was in it, and Taishici himself rode his horse and charged forward, less than two hundred steps away from him. He was a little dazed and could not figure out when these knights appeared. In an instant, he understood that these knights had already launched a charge, but were blocked by the formation of the Arctic Cavalry and could not see it clearly. He was attracted by the charge of the Arctic Cavalry of the Han army, and did not notice that Taishici had launched a second attack.

This is a difficult opponent, and you will never miss even a little chance.

Que Ji suddenly understood Mijia and Suli. When he encountered such an opponent, he might be killed even if he had the advantage of his troops.

Que Ji cheered up and ordered the intensive defense of the personal guards to accelerate and fight against Taishici. Light cavalry is different from heavy cavalry. They not only have melee weapons such as spears and swords, but also long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows. Crushing together is the best target for archery.

Que Ji's personal guard cavalry once again showed strong combat power, accelerating within a very short distance, and cooperating with each other. As soon as a little space appeared in front, the knight behind began to kick the horse forward, with the horse title and tail, and at the same time accelerating, the formation was transformed, and the speed of the sprint reached within a short distance of dozens of steps. The dense formation was basically dispersed, and the formation was initially completed, and the horse kicked and rushed towards Taishi Ci.

Taishi Ci saw it from afar and secretly praised it. This was the most exquisite knight formation he had ever seen since entering Youzhou. It is worthy of being the best cavalry on the grassland. Only Bai Lishi can do the knights under Sun Ce, and no other knights can complete such tactics.

Although she appreciated her, Taishici still pulled the three-stone hard bow in her hand without hesitation and fired three arrows in a row.

Three feather arrows left the string, one after another.

"Puff puff puff!" Three arrows shot the target in succession. The three personal guards in front of Que Ji fell to the ground. A narrow gap appeared between Taishi Ci and Que Ji. The two looked at each other through more than a hundred steps.

Que Ji took a breath of air conditioning. When he saw Taishi Ci let go of the bowstring again, he didn't have time to think about it, he immediately leaned down and lay on the horse's neck.

"Dang!" With a crisp sound, Que Ji's eyes turned black and his ears roared, as if he was hit by an iron hammer. His neck was almost broken, and then a heat flowed down his cheek. He reached out and touched his hand, and then he touched his helmet. An arrow was added to the helmet. Most of the arrows had been shot into the helmet. The long feathers were shaking, making him almost unable to raise his head.

Que Ji was scared and sweated again, and his scalp became numb.

What a strong bow, what a precise archery technique! If he had not bowed his head in time, Taishi Ci's arrow from a hundred steps away could have directly killed him.

What kind of opponent is this? How could there be such an archer in the Han army? Is he not Taishi Ci, but Lu Bu?

Que Ji was suspicious that Taishi Ci had already contacted Que Ji's personal guards. He put away his bow and raised a 15-foot-long fine steel spear. The spearhead flew, and he knocked and picked up three Xianbei knights in one breath, passing by Que Ji, and there were only three knights between him and Que Ji.

Taishi Ci laughed, crossed his spear with his left hand, pulled out a halberd from behind, and threw it hard towards Queji.

The hand halberd rolled in the air and roared in Que Ji's right chest. The remaining strength of the halberd rod was thrust on Que Ji's face. Que Ji screamed in pain and almost fell off his horse. He hugged the horse's neck tightly and rushed forward with the guards.

Taishici pulled out the battle knife, spear in his left hand and battle knife in his right hand. The spear in the distance was stabbed, and the sword in the nearest was cut. There was no general in front of the horse. He killed several people in a row and chased the armored cavalry.

After a meeting, Que Ji was injured twice, blood flowed from his head, chest pain was unpredictable, half of his face swollen, and his mind was even more confused. He didn't know why this happened. As soon as the battle began, he suffered Taishi Ci's loss and almost even gave up his life.

How to fight next? He has the advantage of military strength and can slowly fight against Taishi Ci. No matter how fierce the armored cavalry is, there will always be times of fatigue. No matter how elite Taishi Ci's cavalry is, there will always be casualties. As long as he can grit his teeth and persevere and mobilize people to surround him, he can always turn the situation around. But he was injured, and it was not a trivial minor injury. He was bleeding endlessly on the head and chest, and he was really not sure whether he could hold on until the situation was reversed.

But now when you retreat, you will be defeated in this battle. Once you are chased by Taishi Ci, the losses will inevitably be amazing. Especially those newly gathered remnants, such as Huaitou's subordinates, may scatter in a flash, or even counterattack. The Pegasus tribe may become a second-rate tribe and will never have the chance to dominate the grassland again.

What to do? Que Ji was anxious, but he couldn't make up his mind. He had a severe headache and his chest was so painful. Even inhaling became difficult, and he couldn't think quietly. He wanted to look up, but he felt that the helmet was extremely heavy and his skull was even more heartbroken. He took off his helmet, and then he found that the iron helmet had been shot through by an arrow, the gap was rolled up, and it scrambled like a blade.

Blood flowed down the eyebrows, Que Ji wiped it with his sleeve, raised his head, and looked at the distance.

Taishici's battle flag was moving forward rapidly, leaving behind blood behind. Que Ji narrowed his eyes and carefully identified Taishici's route. He saw that Taishici was turning, and the armored cavalry before him had completed the turning and was heading towards the mouth of the river valley.

What did Taishici want to do? Does he want to wipe out more than 20,000 cavalry of my entire 20,000 cavalry? Que Ji was shocked. For people on the grassland, fighting is never intended to be killing and injured. The biggest killing is not caused by the two armies when they fight, but is constantly accumulated during the pursuit process. Killing 20,000 people on a battlefield is simply unimaginable. Even no matter how confident a person is, he will not make such a crazy decision.

But he had a feeling that Taishici was not a person on the grassland. He might really think so, and he was doing this. Mijia, Suli, and Huaitou were all severely damaged by Taishici's battle, and there was no such thing as chasing him.

Que Ji was cold all over, and he realized that he had made a mistake, a fatal mistake.
