At that moment, outside the Wild Horse tribe, a large number of shield axe soldiers equipped with shields and axes were forming an ironclad failank standing ready.

Meanwhile, Bae riding a white horse was positioned next to that failance with his cavalry.

This situation left Bureud somewhat baffled.

What on earth was Beige trying to do? The shield act soldiers had left a deep impression on him from that day with Lu Yong.

But as long as he was prepared in advance, the weaknesses of this unit were also apparent.

They were too slow.

How could they hope to reach them on two legs? That was simply a dream.

Just as Bureugigu was thinking this, another sharp whistle sounded, making him instinctively alert.

As he quickly scanned the surroundings, he loudly reminded his tribesmen behind him to be careful and not to be careless.

Although unsure of what the enemy was trying to do upon hearing Bureugut's command, the mounted prairie people still tensed up.

However, this seriousness didn't last a second before a stifled laugh triggered a chain reaction, causing a large group of people to break down.

Haha.

Hey, I can't be seeing this wrong, right? Are these fools really trying to walk here on two legs? Hey, don't say that.

Maybe they think their legs can run faster than the fine horses on the prairie.

Are these idiots trying to make us laugh to death? Haha.

Faced with the prairie people's ridicule and laughter, although they couldn't hear it clearly.

Seeing the enemy's almost laughing expressions, they could roughly guess what was happening.

But it didn't matter.

The well-trained shield act soldiers wouldn't be swayed by this.

Unlike the cavalry units that have been consistently beaten by the prairie people, the shield act soldiers, due to their limited mobility, were essentially responsible for defense.

If the enemy attacked, they would meet them.

If not, it was up to the cavalry to handle it.

Thus, their condition remained quite good.

Upon hearing the whistle, they immediately followed orders, raising their round leather shields, maintaining the shieldbearing posture, and began to advance step by step steadily.

However, their rate of advance was hardly commendable.

It was truly a slow, deliberate march.

Even an ordinary person's normal walking might be faster than theirs.

For the prairie people, who valued speed in battle, it was no wonder they laughed out loud at such slow advancement.

Yet, Bureug's expression was filled with confusion.

The enemy's speed of advance was indeed laughable, but he inexplicably felt a strong sense of pressure from this slowmoving failank.

It felt as if it was telling him that no attack could break their formation or shatter their defense.

However, it was also a fact that their speed was slow.

At that rate, even if they stood still, it would take the enemy a long time to reach them.

The problem was, how could they possibly stay still? With the speed of their mounts, they could easily create distance again.

Thinking of this, Beerigu's brows furrowed tighter.

As an old adversary, he didn't believe Bae would engage in such meaningless actions.

There had to be something going on.

Still on high alert, he waved his hand.

Shoot.

Upon hearing the command, the prairie people simultaneously drew their horn bows from behind and began to shoot arrows at the slowly advancing failanks.

Sensing the enemy's movement, Lu Yong, the commander.

The shield axe soldiers standing in the failanks decisively shouted, "All shields up.

" Without a hint of hesitation, the shield act soldiers raised their shields simultaneously.

From a distance, their formation resembled a massive wall of shields, and the synchronized movements made Bureugigu feel a sense of unexplainable awe.

A volley of arrows was effortlessly neutralized by the shield wall, causing the prairie people's expressions, which still held traces of mockery and derision, to become somewhat unnatural.

However, this was not enough to sway them.

Many prairie people still felt indifferent, thinking, "So, what if they blocked it? As long as their speed can't catch up, the enemy will just have to take the hits.

In fact, even Bureug thought the same way.

The defensive power of the shield axe failance against ranged attacks did surprise him slightly.

But so what? The enemy couldn't approach them and thus posed no threat.

This was an unchangeable fact.

What needed to be most vigilant was still the cavalry led by Bae.

However, the cavalry unit led by Bae have been watching from the back, seemingly not moving an inch since just now.

Strange.

This was truly strange.

The doubts in Bureugigu's heart made his brows almost twist together.

Vays, what exactly are you plotting? Chapter 218.

By layout, the battle continued, but the overall situation was so relaxed that Buigid felt a wave of panic in his heart while his mind was filled with thoughts.

speculating on by Zay's intentions and plans.

It couldn't possibly be that he wanted to exhaust their arrows, right? To say that was impossible would not be an exaggeration.

Ordinary archers had to consider the issue of weight when carrying arrows, but their cavalry had mounts to help carry them, so each person had plenty of arrows.

It would be foolish to exhaust their arrows before engaging them, and once they ran out of arrows, they could simply retreat.

It made no sense at all.

However, just as he was thinking this, a faint sound of hooves suddenly reached his ears.

Hearing this noise startled Berigid, and his first instinct was to look towards Bise in the distance.

But he saw no movement from Bise or his cavalry troops.

This situation was clearly beyond his expectations.

But as a man of the grasslands, his hearing was undoubtedly sharp when it came to the sound of hooves.

There was no way he could be mistaken.

Boo! Boo! Rigid! Behind us! Cavalry is charging at us.

The cries of his tribesmen instantly pulled Brigid's thoughts back to reality.

He quickly turned to look behind him, and the sight that met his eyes made his face completely change color.

Perfectly crafted saddles, tough leather armor, and long spears glinting with metallic sheen.

This entire set of equipment could almost be said to be the mark of the enemy.

Ordinary grasslanders could never possess such gear.

There is no doubt that this cavalry unit was under Bise.

But Brigid found it hard to accept this reality.

It was impossible.

The enemy's cavalry was clearly all there and their numbers hadn't changed.

Where did this new unit come from? As he questioned this, Bur Rigid's voice suddenly stopped.

And he turned back sharply to look again at the cavalry unit led by Baise in the distance.

He began to realize he had made a huge mistake.

Those cavalry men were all disguised herdsmen.

His heart began to throb uncontrollably.

The calm demeanor of those herdsmen on horseback made him completely doubt their cavalry identity.

However, as a tribe of the grasslands, which herdsmen wouldn't know how to ride a horse at that moment, Brigid clearly realized he had been set up.

The advancing shield axe infantry were bait and by Zay himself was also bait.

The real killing move was this unit of cavalry that had quietly completed a flanking maneuver while he was distracted by the two baits.

The sharp sound of a wind whistle rang out again, signaling that the plan was proceeding smoothly and the encirclement was forming.

Upon hearing this signal, Lu Yong, who had been holding back against the enemy for a long time, decisively waved his double-bladed battle axe, shouting, "Shield axe infantry, charge with shields, kill.

" Receiving Luo Yong's order, the Shield Axe infantry, which had been waiting for this moment, let out a furious battle cry as they charged forward.

The powerful fighting spirit that erupted in that instant was enough to send chills down one spine, setting aside the advantage in troop type.

Unlike the newly formed cavalry, the shield axe infantry was likely the strongest and most well-trained unit under Lu Gi.

Meanwhile, on another front, a surprise squad personally led by Xiao Chuan by Zay's deputy also began to gallop at full speed.

A unit of cavalry directly blocking the retreat of the grasslanders.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, the battle situation that was about to collapse in an instant put immense pressure on Brigid, his face turning ashen, completely devoid of color.

Break out.

Break out to the side.

The grasslanders panicked, controlled their war horses to break out to the side.

But how could they outrun the light cavalry unit that had already reached its maximum speed? The grasslanders, who had not undergone strict training and discipline, were making mistakes all over the place at this moment.
