Led by Aisin Gioro Amin, the Bordered Blue Banner cavalry swept across the battlefield like a whirlwind, with the Wanyan clan cavalry, surrounded by the Murong clan cavalry, behind them.
However, just as they were about to leave, Yuwen Chengdu appeared before them like a ghost.
Holding a phoenix-winged gilded cymbal, he was majestic and awe-inspiring, like an invincible war god.
Aisin-Gioro Amin felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that in order to escape unscathed, he had to stall Yuwen Chengdu.
Therefore, Aisin-Gioro Amin ordered the Bordered Blue Banner cavalry to once again deploy the "Eight Banners Crescent Moon Formation," utilizing the flexibility of the formation to engage in a battle of wits with Yuwen Chengdu.
The numerous Bordered Blue Banner cavalrymen sometimes dispersed and sometimes gathered, like a pack of wolves on the grassland, constantly surrounding Yuwen Chengdu.
Although Yuwen Chengdu possessed immense strength, unless he expended a great deal of energy to unleash his full potential and activate his Qi Dharma Form, he did not have much area-of-effect damage, making him capable of mowing down large groups of enemies with ease.
Therefore, even though the Bordered Blue Banner was no match for Yuwen Chengdu, and many Bordered Blue Banner cavalrymen were swept off their horses by Yuwen Chengdu, they still managed to hold Yuwen Chengdu back with their lives, making it difficult for him to break through under the restraint of the "Eight Banners Mysterious Moon Formation".
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aisin-Gioro Amin quickly led Wanyan Jindanzi and Wanyan Yindanzi away.
When Murong Chui saw that the Bordered Blue Banner cavalry was still fully organized and had not suffered too many losses, he couldn't help but admire them in his heart.
Even by his standards, the Eight Banners army of the Jurchen Manchus was already a force to be reckoned with; their combat effectiveness and tactical skills were top-notch.
It seems that there are some capable people among the Jurchen and Manchu people. Fortunately, I did not choose to use the Murong clan's tribal cavalry to fight the Bordered Blue Banner head-on.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if they could overwhelm some of them with their numerical advantage, the loss of Murong clan members would be something they could not afford at present.
"Send a signal to let Murong Xi and the others prepare."
Murong Chui's deep voice slowly rang out, and the messenger beside him immediately spurred his horse away upon hearing it.
Soon after, a flame bearing a unique totem slowly rose into the sky.
"You Jurchen barbarians, do you really think you can escape so easily?"
Murong Chui muttered to himself, his gaze passing through the layers of soldiers, as if he could already see the ambush traps waiting for the Blue Banner soldiers ahead.
At this moment, Aisin-Gioro Amin was leading Wanyan Jindanzi, Wanyan Yindanzi, and the remaining Bordered Blue Banner cavalry, rapidly retreating into the distance.
Behind them came the sounds of Murong cavalry pursuing them, but Amin paid no attention. He had only one thought in his mind—to get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.
"Are we really leaving in such a sorry state?"
Wanyan Yindanzi asked breathlessly, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.
"What else can we do but leave?"
"Murong Chui's army is too powerful. We have already suffered heavy losses. If we stay any longer, we will only be wiped out."
Aisin-Gioro Amin said in a deep voice, without even glancing at the two brutes.
If those two reckless men hadn't rushed out without a second thought, leaving me no room for discussion before the battle, I wouldn't have been able to do anything.
Otherwise, Amin felt that even if Murong Chui was strong, they wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat.
These two reckless men directly trapped Wanyan's 10,000 cavalry and 1,000 elite cavalrymen in the midst of Murong's army, making it impossible for them to find any cannon fodder.
Otherwise, let those ten thousand Wanyan cavalrymen be cannon fodder, while a thousand cavalrymen and his own Blue Banner cavalrymen wait for an opportunity to strike from behind.
During his escape, Aisin-Gioro Amin mentally reviewed the situation and realized he had a chance!
It's just a pity... those two brutes, Amin got angrier and angrier the more she thought about it!
"But what about our Wanyan clan's cavalry and elite cavalry..."
Wanyan Jindanzi hesitated, his heart also filled with pain.
"We can't worry about that now."
"We must conserve our strength and wait for reinforcements. As long as Ama and the others react in time and come to our aid, we still have hope."
Aisin-Gioro Amin interrupted Wanyan Jindanzi.
After saying that, Aisin-Gioro Amin ignored the two men and quickened his pace, leading the Bordered Blue Banner cavalry to continue their retreat.
They traversed dense forests and crossed hills, finally approaching an open area.
However, just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a deafening roar suddenly came from ahead.
Immediately afterwards, countless boulders and logs rolled down the hillsides on both sides, heading straight for the Bordered Blue Banner cavalry.
"Oh no, an ambush!"
Aisin-Gioro Amin was terrified. He hurriedly brandished his saber and shouted loudly.
"Quick, get out of the way!"
But it was too late.
The boulders and logs rained down on the Blue Banner cavalry as if they were divine soldiers descending from the sky.
In an instant, people and horses were thrown into disarray, and cries of agony filled the air.
"Damn it, we've fallen for their trap again!"
Wanyan Yindanzi roared, his eyes filled with rage.
"Don't panic, stay calm!"
"Everyone, move towards the center and form a defensive formation!"
Aisin-Gioro Amin suppressed his panic and gave a loud command.
Under the command of Aisin-Gioro Amin, the Bordered Blue Banner cavalry quickly formed a tight defensive formation, using shields and spears to fend off the constantly falling boulders and rolling logs.
However, even so, they still suffered heavy losses, with many cavalrymen being hit by boulders and killed on the spot.
"Murong Chui! You're so ruthless!"
Seeing the Bordered Blue Banner cavalrymen falling one after another around him, Aisin Gioro Amin roared furiously at both sides of the hill, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"All warfare is based on deception; this is common sense on the battlefield."
Murong Xi's voice suddenly came from a hill. He rode a tall warhorse and slowly walked down the hillside.
"Aisin-Gioro Amin, do you really think you can escape your father's grasp?"
Aisin-Gioro Amin looked up and saw Murong Xi standing majestically on the hillside, wearing a silver armor and holding a long spear. Behind him were the two thousand Dragon City cavalrymen who had suddenly disappeared on the front line of the battle.
Seeing this, Aisin-Gioro Amin felt a pang of fear; they probably wouldn't be able to escape so easily today.
