Chapter 707 Li You arrives and kills the Black Armored Army!

This sudden scene made Wu She's heart tighten suddenly. He stared at the smoke and dust that was getting closer and closer with his eyes wide open, thinking to himself: "Whose army is this? Why did they appear here at this time?"

Although Wu She was not sure who the sudden reinforcements were, he had a rough guess. This place was no more than 20 miles away from the ferry, and it was quite far away from the county town, so the most likely scenario was that they were reinforcements sent by Wu Rui.

However, facing the powerful enemy that might come, Wu She was actually relaxed. As the saying goes, "Too many lice don't itch, too many debts don't worry", he only had 600 soldiers, and he had to fight against the Wu army of nearly 10,000 people. This was a battle of an egg against a rock. Even if there were 10,000 more people, it would only make this inevitable defeat even more tragic for him.

"The worst that can happen is death!" Wu She thought to himself, even with a bitter smile on his face.

Just as Wu She was daydreaming, his personal guard suddenly shouted excitedly: "General, it seems to be our people! Look, that's the Black Tiger Flag!"

Wu She heard this and hurriedly looked. Sure enough, in the midst of the smoke and dust, a black flag was looming. As the distance got closer, the hidden tiger head embroidered on the flag gradually became clearer.

"Black Armored Cavalry!" Wu She cried out, and suddenly he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. This black tiger flag was the exclusive flag of the Black Armored Cavalry under Gao Yao's command!

In fact, it was not entirely Wu She's fault for being so excited at this time. After all, almost all the soldiers that Jiujiang County could mobilize had already been mobilized by him. As the saying goes, "distant water cannot quench a nearby fire." The Second Legion and the Fourth Legion were located near the Peacock Kingdom and the other was basically in the coastal area. The distance between the two was quite far. Even if he mobilized the troops immediately, it would take a lot of time. Wu She naturally could not expect them to arrive in time.

Therefore, when Wu She saw people coming to support him, his first reaction was to think that these people were Wu Rui's subordinates, and he never thought that they were his own reinforcements. Of course, there was another reason for this, that is, Gao Yao did not mention Li You's reinforcements in his letter to Wu She. After all, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and Gao Yao himself could not be sure how long it would take Wu She to set up the trap, and how many days he would need to hold out to capture the ferry, let alone whether he could wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

On the other hand, Dou Yong, who was at the foot of the mountain at this time, was not in a hurry to launch an attack at first. He knew that Wu She was cunning and was worried that he would escape again. Moreover, his side had an absolute advantage in military strength, so Dou Yong decided to take it step by step, disperse the soldiers, form a tight network, and ensure that Wu She had nowhere to escape.

Just as Dou Yong was confidently directing the battle, a cloud of dust suddenly appeared behind him. This sudden change made Dou Yong feel a little worried, but he did not think about the support of the Southern Border Army, but thought that it was the army led by Wu Rui that had arrived.

Dou Yong thought to himself, "I have made such a big mistake this time. If I can't even kill Wu She, even if Wu Rui doesn't kill me, I will definitely not have a good ending." Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and gave the order to attack: "Prepare to attack! You must kill Wu She for me, and never let him escape!"

Following Dou Yong's order, all the soldiers immediately took action and prepared to charge. They held their weapons tightly, their eyes flashing with murderous intent, waiting for Dou Yong's order, and rushed towards Wu She like hungry tigers pouncing on their food.

At this critical moment, a messenger came running like an arrow and headed straight towards Dou Yong.

"Report!" The messenger's voice exploded in the air like thunder, and his shout revealed a sense of urgency and nervousness.

Dou Yong's heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately realized that the situation was not good, because he knew that the messenger must have brought extremely important military information when he came so hurriedly.

"General, this is bad! The troops coming from behind are not ours, but the black-armored troops of the Southern Border Army!"

Sure enough, after the messenger stood in front of Dou Yong, he did not even have time to catch his breath before he loudly reported the situation.

After hearing this, Dou Yong's face became extremely solemn. It turned out that the legendary black-armored army had actually appeared on the battlefield!

This black armored army was well-known, they were an elite cavalry under Gao Yao. Whether it was war horses, armor, weapons, or even the quality of the personnel, they were all top-notch.

What is even more amazing is that the combat effectiveness of these 5,000 black-armored cavalry is extremely strong. They can easily defeat 10,000 enemy cavalry. And this is not just empty talk, but is supported by countless real battle records.

At this moment, Dou Yong felt desperate because his order had been issued and the scattered soldiers had already launched an attack on Wu She halfway up the mountain.

As a result, the already scattered team became even more scattered. For the cavalry, they were simply natural targets and were completely unable to pose any useful obstacles to the enemy's charge.

"Give the order immediately and assemble! Prepare to deal with the Black Armored Army!" Dou Yong acted decisively and issued an emergency order.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the messenger quickly turned around and left, conveying Dou Yong's order to other generals.

At this critical moment, Dou Yong showed his decisive side. He led thousands of cavalrymen around him without hesitation, turned their horses around quickly, and prepared to meet the upcoming enemy. At the same time, he also urgently ordered other soldiers to gather as soon as possible to resist the attack of the Black Armor Army.

Wu She is important, but under the current situation, if Dou Yong continues to pursue Wu She, he will undoubtedly be courting death. After all, the reputation of the Black Armor Army is well-known, and although Dou Yong has not really experienced their strength, there must be a reason for such widespread spread. More importantly, except for the 1,000 cavalrymen around him, most of the troops led by Dou Yong are infantry, and the terrain here is flat, with no advantages at all.

In order to resist the fierce attack of the Black Armor Army, they had to retreat into the mountains and forests, use the terrain to resist, and then wait for Wu Rui's reinforcements to arrive. However, in this way, the offensive and defensive situation would be completely reversed, and Dou Yong's troops would inevitably suffer heavy losses. Not only that, first they lost the ferry, and now they would lose another 10,000 soldiers and horses. When Wu Rui arrived, even if Wu Rui did not kill Dou Yong, he would not be able to face Wu Rui, let alone continue to live.

Although Dou Yong was slightly lacking in strategy, his loyalty was unquestionable. Faced with such a difficult choice, he resolutely decided to stay and fight to the death with the Black Armor Army.
