The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1709

Chapter 1709: 833 Great Victory (Second Update)

The impact and shock of this scene were immense—dense Hei Fengqi, like boiling iron, surged towards the eighty thousand rebels of the Nangong Family!

In large-scale warfare, formations are used. Typically, archers and chariots are upfront, cavalry charges first, and infantry follows behind.

Chang Wei’s main battlefield was planned to be near the canyon, where the cavalry and chariots of the Nangong Family were naturally positioned.

According to the original plan, once Hei Fengqi encountered the Snow Silk, they wouldn’t have to take action at all.

The problem was, he wasn’t entirely sure the deputy general could successfully lure Hei Fengqi over.

If the deputy general and that unit of cavalry were wiped out in the canyon, and Hei Fengqi were waiting for them to attack there, then the Snow Silk would be useless.

Just in case, he still made this side the main battlefield.

This arrangement could be said to open the door wide for Hei Fengqi, inviting them to harvest heads.

Cavalry and infantry weren’t on the same level of combat strength, not to mention facing the most formidable Hei Fengqi among the six nations!

Chang Wei could imagine without looking, just how much of his forces would be lost!

Even if he gave the order to move the chariots over immediately, it would be too late!

The infantry were caught off guard! They were already in panic!

Chang Wei coldly glanced at the deputy general beside him, "Didn’t you notice they didn’t have many troops when you fought them?"

"I..." The deputy general choked.

He was overwhelmed by the aura of Hei Fengqi in the canyon, terrified and flustered, only hoping to leave as soon as possible, fearing that one more move would lead to death at the hands of Hei Fengqi, and didn’t care to count how many troops the opponent had.

He waved his arm, pointing to the quiet hillside path: "It was their commander! His shouting was too fierce! It made my head buzz!"

That was one of the reasons.

Cheng Fugui, with his own strength, shouted with the momentum of thousands of troops, making it feel as if all of Hei Fengqi were behind him.

Chang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "You didn’t see the commander of the Hei Feng camp, how could you conclude that all of Hei Fengqi was there!"

"I... this..."

Was he stunned by Cheng Fugui’s shouting?

At this point, if Chang Wei couldn’t see that he had fallen into a trap, he would be inexcusable.

The canyon ambush was just a blinding technique; the main force of Hei Fengqi had already circled to the rear of the Nangong army.

The yelling and cursing commander made such a commotion just to distract them, so they wouldn’t notice the main force of Hei Fengqi approaching from the other side.

How did they think of circling to attack from the rear?

Weren’t they afraid that the Hei Fengqi in the canyon would be swallowed by the Nangong army until nothing was left?

Unless—

Hei Fengqi expected they wouldn’t get through!

Chang Wei looked at the snow silk looming ahead, then at the Hei Fengqi cavalry hiding behind the hillside, suddenly having a bold guess in his heart.

The young man predicted he would use this move!

But how was this possible?

The fact that he had snow silk was unknown even to the head of the Nangong Family—

Who exactly was that young man, and why did he know him so well?

No time to think about this, the screams from the rear intensified, Hei Fengqi slaughtered like taking things out of a bag, if this continued, the army would be defeated!

"Find people to dismantle the Snow Silk!" he ordered to the deputy general.

This thing wasn’t easy to dismantle, impervious to water and fire, impenetrable by swords and spears, and tied with dead knots to prevent slipping!

Those wooden pillars were specially made too!

What is called ’a cage’, this was it.

Chang Wei had a headache!

He could only order the deputy general to find a way to dismantle it, though he wanted to go around both sides to kill the Hei Fengqi hiding behind the hillside, but he chose this perfect hunting ground... with lakes on both sides!

How to go around?

Dive?

Chang Wei resisted the dizziness attacking him, coldly drawing his long sword.

"All cavalry, follow me into battle!"

"Chariots ready! Archers follow up!"

Chariots with archers are a great tactic against cavalry, except chariots move too slowly, he must first engage in combat with Hei Fengqi.

Chang Wei led the Nangong Family cavalry, charging through the infantry ranks.

The Nangong army wasn’t weak either; they had always been trained in the way of the Xuanyuan Family, but this advantage crumbled when facing the true Xuanyuan army.

The strength of Xuanyuan Jun was ingrained in their bones; when the flying eagle flag fluttered in the wind, the heat wave rolling across the chest was enough to scorch the viscera.

Chang Wei’s participation gave the Nangong Family a sense of leadership, the scattered troops gradually rallied under his command.

But this couldn’t stop Hei Fengqi’s slaughter; the invincible Hei Fengqi resembled a beast from the abyss, or Shura of purgatory, no rebels could escape the butchering knife in their hands.

Chang Wei watched as soldier after soldier fell, his eyes blood-red with killing intent!

On the other side, the deputy general was commanding a few soldiers to dismantle the Snow Silk, weapons didn’t work—a single slash, the sword was halved.
