Chapter 117: Persuading Wang An to Surrender

"Wang An, surrender, or my Western Tartar army will drown you with a single spit from each man!"

"So what if you are the prince of Jizhou? If you don't surrender today, you will surely die!"

The Western Tartar envoy Ashina Heishan, holding a mace in his hand, sneered as he looked at Wang An, who was commanding the central army not far away.

It seems like victory is already in his grasp!

"Haha, you can try to see if my sword is sharp!"

Although there were only a hundred or so black-armored guards behind Wang An, his momentum was not inferior at all.

"Give up resistance and let me catch you. Maybe I can give you a quick death! Otherwise, when I have killed your entire family without a single piece of armor left, I will chop off your head and send it back for your reward. Haha!"

Ashina Heishan had a cruel smile on his face, and several of his men around him had excited and bloodthirsty expressions.

"You bastard, stop being so arrogant!"

"Today, I will fight you!"

"Gentlemen, follow me to kill the enemy!"

……

The black-armored guards roared in unison, their fighting spirit was fierce and their eyes were red.

"Kill! Kill all these bastards!"

"We would rather die standing than live on our knees!"

"Hmph, in that case, kill!"

Heishan roared angrily and rushed forward wielding his mace!
Boom~~~
The war drums are thundering and the horses’ hooves are shaking!
The Western Tartar cavalry came like a tide, and the cold light of their swords was dazzling!
"Archers release their arrows!"

huh~~~
Behind Wang An, the black-armored guards all bent their bows and drew their arrows, and long arrows shot out through the sky!

Puff puff puff~~~
The arrows penetrated into the flesh with a series of dull sounds, blood splattered everywhere, and screams and wails merged into one.

The Western Tartar cavalry were knocked down one after another, but they quickly stood up and continued their attack.

"Kill! Capture Wang An for me!"

They were fearless and rushed towards Wang An!
Wang An looked indifferent and calm.

He raised his right arm and made a gesture:
"Form a shield formation!"

"Form a shield formation!"

At the command, more than a hundred black-armored guards who had been prepared quickly moved around Wang An and formed a line of defense!
The other black-armored guards immediately took out their shields and stood in front of them!

Huge round wooden shields towered like clouds, more than thirty feet high, stretching across the front, densely packed!

The iron hooves of the Western Tartars rushed forward, making a loud noise that shook the earth!

bang~
Click, click, click~
The riding skills of the Northwestern grasslands are inherently very tough and fierce.

At this moment, under the crazy charge of thousands of cavalrymen, the hard wooden shield could not withstand it at all and made crisp bursting sounds!

Click!

Pieces of wooden shield shattered.

"kill!"

The black-armored guards roared, raised their steel shields in both hands and smashed them hard at the Western Tartar cavalry.

when!when!when!
The shields collided with each other and sparks flew!
These elite cavalry of the Western Tartars are extremely powerful.

Even the steel shield was smashed to pieces!
Many Western Tartar cavalrymen jumped over the shield wall and rushed in.

The black-armored guards were not afraid at all. They faced the enemy and fought back with the short spears, bayonets and steel forks in their hands!

After one round of fighting, the Western Tartar Cavalry suffered heavy losses!

"Kill, for His Highness, for His Highness..."

The black-armored guards roared hoarsely and fought back with all their might!
"Your Highness, here I come!"

At this moment!
Xu Huang also came with troops to support!

"Captain Xu, I leave these aliens to you. Take care!"

Wang An nodded slightly.

He knew that Xu Huang was an extraordinary martial artist and had once killed 282 Hu people, shocking the three armies.

Xu Huang was full of confidence, and he led his infantry to charge at the Western Tartar cavalry.

The Western Tartar cavalry waved the long swords in their hands and slashed at the black-armored guards, making a sound of metal collision!
But they were wearing special golden chain mail armor, and could hardly be hurt by being hacked by knives or axes!
"kill!"

The Western Tartar cavalry were terrified.

"What kind of armor is this? How come it won't budge even when struck by a knife or an axe?"

"Damn it!"

"These troops are too terrifying. We can't deal with them at all!"

The Western Tartar Army's formation suddenly became chaotic!

These black-armored guards are simply iron lumps!
But Xu Huang did not give them any chance to breathe. He waved his short blades and in the blink of an eye, he killed seven or eight Western Tartar cavalrymen!
Xu Huang is getting more and more courageous!

At this time he saw Wang An behind the Black Armor Guard formation!
Wang An was wearing a blue shirt, carrying a long sword on his back, sitting upright in the carriage.

Xu Huang suddenly felt his blood boiling!

"Your Majesty, please give me your orders. I will definitely complete the task!"

He rode his horse towards Wang An!

"Captain Xu is worthy of being a role model for the three armies!" Wang An nodded in approval, then said calmly: "In this battle, I will completely scare these Western barbarians!"

"I will obey your orders!"

When Xu Huang heard Wang An calling him captain, he was immediately overjoyed and filled with strength!

"The Western Tartar Cavalry is vulnerable!"

He rode out on his horse, brandishing the steel halberd in his hand, like a tiger or leopard rushing into a flock of sheep, and instantly killed nearly a hundred Western Tartar cavalrymen!
"Our spears can do no harm to them!"

"Retreat quickly, leave!"

……

The Western Tartar cavalry cried out in panic, threw away their weapons and armor, and fled in panic.

They were indeed brave and good at fighting, but when faced with someone like Wang An who could perfectly restrain them, they were doomed to be defeated.

But Wang An did not chase after him.

However, they were caught up and killed by the black-armored guards behind them!

"Haha, just as the prince expected, these Western barbarians are only good at talking big. Once they encounter the real strength, they are not worth even a sneer at all!"

"Hehe, we can finally hold our heads high this time!"

"Long live the prince!"

Xu Huang laughed and walked back to Wang An's carriage.

Wang An shook his head: "Captain Xu, don't think this victory is easy."

"If someone else had commanded this battle, they might have suffered. But we are the biggest enemy of the Western Tartars, how could they let us go?"

"The Western Tartar Cavalry is far more powerful than you think! Not only do they have the advantage of war horses, they also have a variety of equipment!"

"As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger, and a foot shorter is a foot more dangerous. A weapon of 1.5 feet is a long weapon, and a weapon of 50 feet is a short weapon!"

"Moreover, although our armor looks extremely thick, it is just ordinary armor!"

"The truly tough one is the traditional Western Tartar armor!"

"They use ironwood to train their skin, bones, and even their fascia, tendons, joints and other parts. This makes their bones exceptionally tough!"

"They are tall and strong, with great strength and extraordinary endurance! Coupled with their sophisticated cavalry combat skills and tactics!"

"We must be on high alert!"

After hearing Wang An's explanation, the faces of many black-armored guards changed drastically.

In this war, they finally realized the situation they were facing.

The Western Tartar Cavalry should not be underestimated!
"We need improved armor!" Wang An's eyes flashed.

Although iron armor can defend against the sharp long swords of the Western Tartar cavalry, it cannot defend against their brutal tactics and cavalry combat skills.

These Western barbarians have obviously adapted to the style of fighting on horseback.
