Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

The Black Armored Army, their reputation has long been known to all. Not to mention their amazing riding skills, even when they get off their horses, they are definitely not ordinary people. The rest of the Black Armored Army abandoned their beloved war horses without hesitation, jumped into the ground swiftly, and instantly integrated into the fierce infantry battle.

As the valley was extremely narrow, the horses became a burden and a constraint. In an instant, the entire valley was drowned in shouts and cries of killing. The orderly battle that was originally planned to take place at the valley entrance had now turned into a chaotic melee.

Not far away, Tang Sheng stared at the thrilling scene with wide eyes, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. At first, he thought that with his 10,000 soldiers, it should be easy to deal with the black armored army of only 2,000 people. However, after the actual fight, Tang Sheng deeply realized that the combat effectiveness of these black armored soldiers was beyond imagination, and they were the elite among the elite.

Even without the help of war horses, the Black Armored Army's sophisticated armor and sharp weapons were still far superior to the Minzhong Army. What was even more incredible was that they were now under a sneak attack, but even with such an advantage, they still failed to completely wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop. On the contrary, when these Black Armored Army dismounted and joined the battle, they actually suppressed the Minzhong Army with a fierce offensive.

Tang Sheng couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Oh my God! How could there be such a brave and fearless army in the world?"

"Well, what you said is true, but it is difficult to change the overall situation!" Wu She couldn't help but sigh at this time, his heart full of emotion. His deep eyes stared at the battlefield in the distance, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

He could clearly see that the Black Armored Army was indeed extremely brave and powerful, but their huge disadvantage in numbers could not be ignored and was difficult to make up for. Moreover, in the surprise attack just now, at least 2,000 Black Armored Army soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the number of casualties exceeded 500.

At this moment, although the Black Armored Army had dismounted and started close combat, they were helpless because of the large number of enemy troops and their numbers were still decreasing. If the situation continued to develop like this, it would probably only be a matter of time before the Black Armored Army was completely annihilated.

Thinking of this, Wu She could not help but feel a little regretful. If he had not chosen to join the Chu Army, but had resolutely joined the Southern Border Army, then the situation today might be completely different, right? Even though he already knew that the Southern Border Army was strong and had a large number of soldiers and horses, Wu She had always regarded the Southern Border as a barbaric and uncivilized place. Although there were more than enough soldiers there, he was not sure that he could gain the upper hand on the battlefield.

From ancient times to the present, in every war in the long river of history, it can be found that the number of troops is one of the factors that can have an important impact on the trend of the war, but it is definitely not the only key to determine the outcome. Wu She is well aware of this point of view. If relying solely on the number of troops can determine everything, then in the Warring States period, when the situation was changing and heroes were vying for supremacy, the situation of the Qin Dynasty sweeping across the six kingdoms and unifying the world would not have occurred.

In fact, the final outcome of a war is often affected and restricted by many complex factors. Military strength is only one of them. The exquisite use of tactics is also crucial. Advanced and sophisticated weapons and equipment can bring huge combat effectiveness to the army. Excellent generals can lead soldiers to charge and defeat the enemy with their excellent command ability. The eliteness of the soldiers themselves is directly related to the overall combat quality of the troops. Not only that, even seemingly invisible forces such as reputation and public support can sometimes become the key weight to determine the outcome of the war.

In Wu She's initial judgment, the Southern Border only had a slight advantage in military strength among various factors, while other aspects such as tactical level, weapons equipment, generals' ability, soldiers' quality, etc. were simply a world apart from the Chu Army.

Because of this, he resolutely persuaded Tang Sheng to join the Chu army. However, at this moment, when he witnessed the powerful strength of the Southern Border Army, especially after seeing the talents of generals like Han Xin who were extremely wise and used troops like a god, he couldn't help but wonder if his decision was correct. Perhaps, he had realized that he might have missed a more powerful and potential force.

However, at this moment, even if Wu She was filled with endless regret and annoyance, it would be of no use. Because at this moment, he had completely broken with the Southern Border Army and could no longer turn back. Betraying the Southern Border Army in the face of a battle, no matter which of these actions, was an absolutely unforgivable felony.

"Dengdeng...dengdeng..." Just at this moment, a burst of rapid and loud horse hoof sounds came from the depths of the valley again. Many of the soldiers of the Minzhong Army in the rear did not even have time to notice that something was wrong, they only saw several majestic and powerful horses galloping out of the valley like lightning.

"The Black Armored Army, sweep across the world!" A roar resounded through the sky, as if to shatter the sky.

Then, there was a burst of shouts of killing: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" This powerful shout came from Kong Gang. As his roar fell, the black-armored army led by him rushed forward like a black torrent.

Seeing this sudden scene in front of him, Tang Sheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and for a moment he was a little at a loss. On the other side, Wu She's face turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Looking at the black-armored army rushing towards them like a surging tide, they were in high spirits and marched forward without any panic. Moreover, considering the time when the Chu army should have arrived here, it took such a long time for them to arrive late. Wu She was instantly alert. With his years of experience and keen intuition, he immediately determined that the situation must be bad. The Chu army must have suffered a major setback or even been defeated.

"Sir, the Chu army has already been defeated. Retreat quickly and order the valley entrance to be sealed. Do not let the Southern Border Army take advantage of the victory to pursue us!"

Wu She was extremely anxious at the moment, and he hurriedly offered advice to Tang Sheng, hoping that he could make a quick decision. In fact, as early as when Wu She and his companions first arrived at the valley entrance, he had secretly ordered his men to move the previously hidden boulders to the nearby hillside. These boulders were originally planned to be used to intercept the southern border army, but the current situation was critical, so they had to be used in advance.

"What? It's so! What should our army do?" Hearing what Wu She said, Tang Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, his face full of astonishment and disbelief. It should be noted that at this moment, there are still at least 4,000 soldiers of the Fujian Central Army trapped in the valley, fighting bloody battles with the Southern Border Army. If the valley entrance is blocked at this moment, it is undoubtedly equivalent to abandoning our own subordinates and letting them fend for themselves. This choice is too difficult for Tang Sheng, a general, and he is in a dilemma for a while.

"Sir! If we don't leave quickly, it will be too late!" Wu She was a little anxious when he saw that Tang Sheng was still struggling. At the same time, he had made up his mind that it was impossible for him to continue to follow Tang Sheng after this incident. He seemed loyal, but in fact he was not firm, and he was too indecisive. He was not a wise leader at all. If he followed Tang Sheng, he would either be mediocre all his life, or he would be implicated sooner or later because of Tang Sheng's character.

"The Chu army must have been defeated by now. The Southern Border Army is known for its rapid march. It won't take long for them to get here. Who knows, they might have already started to head this way! If we don't block the valley entrance and evacuate quickly, our army will be caught up by the enemy within fifty miles. By then, we will be in an irretrievable situation and our entire army will be destroyed!"

Hearing this, Tang Sheng's face turned pale as paper, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He widened his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly, obviously experiencing a fierce struggle and hesitation in his heart. However, time would not stop because of his entanglement, and the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly.

Kong Gang led an elite force and attacked the heavily surrounded Black Wind troops from the rear like a tiger descending from a mountain. Seeing Kong Gang's army approaching, the Black Wind troops, which originally had only a few hundred people left, suddenly became very motivated, and they fought bravely like chicken blood. In an instant, shouts of killing, the sound of weapons clashing, and screams intertwined and resounded throughout the battlefield.

Although the Minzhong Army still had an absolute advantage in numbers, they were leaderless and lacked effective command and dispatch, so the soldiers were like a pile of loose sand and could not organize an effective resistance. On the other hand, the Black Armor Army, under the leadership of Kong Gang, cooperated well, advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and the weapons in their hands continued to harvest the lives of the enemy. For a time, the Minzhong Army was killed and their armor was abandoned, and corpses were everywhere. The encirclement that seemed to be impregnable was gradually collapsing.

"Retreat, cut off the road, retreat..."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Tang Sheng immediately gave the order to retreat. Although many soldiers in the Minzhong Army hesitated, they finally chose to start prying the rocks. A large number of rocks fell at the mouth of the valley, while Tang Sheng and Wu She began to retreat quickly with the remaining men.

As the stones fell, it was like a bolt from the blue for the Minzhong Army that was still fighting in the valley. Countless people wailed, and then they began to surrender on a large scale.

The fall of this stone was almost equivalent to abandoning the thousands of soldiers still in the valley. The army's morale naturally collapsed.
