These heavy cavalry were essentially similar to the iron pagodas, with both the rider and the horse fully armored. The only potential weaknesses were the eye sockets and the horse's legs.

However, with the equipment of the Beidi cavalry, they simply had no weapons capable of attacking these weak points.

An elite heavy cavalry unit, like a torrent of steel, burst through a gap in the infantry formation and charged into the ranks of the Di People's cavalry!

The clash between heavy cavalry and light cavalry had an obvious outcome.

The Di People's cavalry had almost no ability to resist. Neither their horseback archery nor their sabers could inflict any harm on the heavy cavalry before them. Moreover, they didn't even have stirrups.

In contrast, these heavy cavalry, relying solely on their stirrups, high-backed saddles, and full body armor, needed only a single charge to shatter the tightest formation of Beidi cavalry in an instant!

It was as if they had entered a land without inhabitants.

Many Di People were either thrown from their horses and trampled under iron hooves during the onslaught or were pierced by long spears while mounted and died on the spot.

The demons, under Kua Fu's command, kept converging towards the battlefield, but it was meaningless. General Han Fuyue's troops were unstoppable, suffering minimal losses. It was simply impossible to win by sheer numbers.

And the players were instantly invigorated, joining the fight one after another!

Before, many players had been dazed by the sheer number of demonic soldiers and hadn't managed to mount an effective resistance, but now with General Han Fuyue acting as a calming anchor, they quickly regained their senses and threw themselves back into combat.

Centered on General Han Fuyue's heroic spirit, he and his loyal troops kept breaking deep into the demon army's territory, while the players coordinated and supported them on the sides in seemingly perfect harmony!

...

In the east, the ghostly figure of Xingtian in the sky swung his giant axe, and below, the demons possessing the iron pagodas began to advance again!

But the next second, they collided with the wagon formation once more.

This was General Deng Yuanjing's wagon formation!

From within the carriages, a multitude of firelock muskets poked out their dark muzzles, and then with a sharp "bang," smoke rose from the barrel.

A thick cloud of smoke rose from above the carriages, and once the gunpowder smoke dispersed, the front rows of iron pagodas had fallen in droves.

In front of the firelock muskets, the heavy armor of the iron pagodas was like paper-thin, utterly meaningless.

Whether hit man or horse, even those who lucked out and didn't die were rendered completely incapable of fighting.

Furthermore, the iron pagodas, while charging, would be linked together by ropes and barriers were placed behind them to ensure they could only advance, not retreat, turning the cavalry into living targets.

But still more iron pagodas continued to press on.

General Deng Yuanjing was not panicked. As a military strategist who had surpassed his era, his greatest skill was choosing different tactics based on the enemy's situation, utilizing a combination of various troop types.

As the musketeers retreated to reload, the infantry behind immediately pushed the cheval de frise forward to block the gaps in front of the wagons.

And just when these heavy cavalry were indecisive whether to advance or retreat, long spears, Wolf Whisker lances, and large sabers had already begun to greet them.

During the musketeers' retreat and reloading, another row of musketeers was already prepared and immediately fired another volley!

General Deng Yuanjing's battle formation was like an insurmountable Great Wall, rigidly keeping the iron pagodas outside the line of defense, unable to make any headway.

And the players had recovered as well, beginning to join General Deng Yuanjing's counterattack!

The players' firelock muskets and cannons were even more advanced, especially those among the Divine Machine players, who could essentially be considered mobile armories. Although limited by the virtuous qi, their killing power was weaker than the loyal troops directly under General Deng Yuanjing, but the modernity of their weapons completely made up for this disparity.

Guns and cannons roared in unison; the players quickly rediscovered the joy of pounding the iron pagodas with various firearms.

In the sky, Xingtian's form shuddered with rage, feeling tightness in his chest and headaches.

Or perhaps for it, chest tightness and headaches were the same thing.

As early as when guarding a historical fragment of the Qi Dynasty, it had already been thoroughly beaten by the Orderly using technology.

Back then, the players dealt with the Iron Floats using the tactic of lining up to shoot them by firing squad, the scene could simply be described as too horrible to watch.

And now, Xingtian's nightmare was repeating itself!

In fact, it had mentally prepared itself to some extent for such a scene, but it never imagined that the heroic spirits would also use guns?

Using the firearms of the Great Sheng Dynasty to shoot the Iron Floats of the Jin...

Xingtian only wanted to say, this was unfair!

Although the number of demons was absolutely overwhelming, Xingtian was utterly powerless against such a scene. It couldn't change the type of troops at its disposal, nor could it think of any solution!

Looking at it this way...

It would rather go into battle against General Han Fuyue, where at least the deaths would be more straightforward.

...

In the west, Gonggong was driving the massive Turkic forces to launch a fierce attack on the players' battle formation.

The fighting prowess of the Turkic Cavalry was stronger than that of the Beidi Cavalry, possessing not only stirrups but also more refined equipment.

There are records stating that nearly all Turkic men were militia cavalry, armed with bow and arrows, whistling arrows, armor sheaths, swords, and more.

All this meant that the combat strength of the Turkic Cavalry was stronger compared to that of the Beidi Cavalry.

Although compared with the Liang Dynasty Cavalry, the Turkic's cold weapons like sabers and spears were at a disadvantage, being more adept with bows and arrows, the cold weapons of the Turkic were not weak, with nearly every man carrying a long and a short blade.

And Gonggong was convinced that the only reason he hadn't won before was that Feilian had been dragging him down.

"This time, in a fair and square head-on confrontation, I want to see what sort of schemes and trickery that cunning Restorer can come up with!"

However, the very next second, he saw a cavalry unit charging against the tide into the waves of demon soldiers.

"Bang Bang!"

The sounds of musket fire rang out incessantly; these fully armored cavalrymen were all wielding Three-eyed guns, firing at close range right in the faces of the Turkic Cavalry.

Whole ranks of demon soldiers fell in an instant, and the cavalry led by Emperor Taizu of Sheng continued firing until all three rounds from their guns were spent. Then they brandished their Three-eyed guns and smashed them viciously down upon these Turkic cavalrymen.

Emperor Taizu of Sheng looked at the onrushing Turkic Cavalry before him and murmured, "My assessment is... they're not as good as the Northern Barbarians."

At this moment, Emperor Taizu of Sheng couldn't help but recall the battle at Wulan Tula Mountain from years gone by, remembering how his elite troops, weary from marching, had charged in absolutely disadvantageous terrain from lower ground to higher and had managed to break through Mahari's elite cavalry, bringing decades of peace to the Northern Border of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Although these Turkic Cavalry seemed ferocious, when compared with the Northern Barbarians, they were still a bit lacking.

Having fought against the elite heavy cavalry of the Northern Barbarians, the Turkic Cavalry didn't seem all that terrifying anymore.

While Emperor Taizu of Sheng led his elite personal guards to charge head-on against the Turkic Cavalry, the players also closely followed behind, commencing their counterattack.

"I missed the chance to charge with Your Majesty last time; this time I've caught up!"

"Your Majesty, see how well we've practiced our cavalry tactics this time!"

Many of these players had learned cavalry tactics from Emperor Taizu of Sheng during historical segments of the Great Sheng Dynasty; they were among the first batch to pass the Cavalry Trial and had since become pillars of the player community.

Yet, a large number of players had acquired beta test access only later and had only seen Emperor Taizu of Sheng's valiant figure in videos, never having had the chance to fight side by side with him.

And now, for the former, they had been presented with a stage in front of Emperor Taizu of Sheng to showcase their progress; for the latter, they had gained the opportunity to battle shoulder-to-shoulder with Emperor Taizu of Sheng!

Emperor Taizu of Sheng pointed his spear forward and commanded, "Kill!"

A bright yellow figure suddenly burst forth, along with the surging torrent behind him, crashing violently into the black tide formed by the demon soldiers!
