1073 Heading for Yangzhou II (2/2)

It recalled the last time when it had such a feeling and impulse. It was many years ago in the racing event of the Left Royal Court in the Wilderness when it saw that coquettish and charming white mare who was wanting a mate.

The big black horse started panting heavily and rapidly, and snorting with burning breath.

Ning Que took down the iron bow and casually pull it to the full, aiming at the City of Yangzhou.

Countless people on top and down by the city walls were observing his every single movement. At least half of them were staring at the iron bow previously placed on his shoulder.

When he pulled the iron bow and targeted at the City of Yangzhou, they could not help screaming in panic and went into another uproar.

The leaders of the cliques and the generals of the allied forces were fully aware of the horrifying power of the Thirteen Primordial Arrows. They were the most vigilant and worried, therefore the first to react. Upon a whoosh, they crouched together with their heads under their arms, as if they were some wild grass blown in a sudden wind, apparently not strong grass.

Despite the fact that they were merely being pointed at, the cavalrymen in front of the city gate could not help feeling that they were falling into the bottomless hell of death. Some whipped their horses as hard as they could, while others did nothing and let their horses run toward the sides. A path was made immediately.

There was nothing between Ning Que's arrow and the city gate of Yangzhou, not even a single barrier.

He let go of the bowstring. But he just shot an ordinary arrow instead of the Thirteen Primordial Arrows.

Upon a swoosh the arrow was shot at the newly established city gate of Yangzhou. The gate was very thick. Even if the arrow was inserted half a meter into the gate, it could still not pierce through.

When everyone thought that the arrow was about to stop, it started shaking violently and created frightening buzzing noise when the nock vibrated in the air.

The arrow was deeply inserted into the thick and heavy gate. Upon the high frequency vibration the part of the gate around the arrow became loose and started cracking.

And when the arrow started vibrating on the city gate, Ning Que also moved.

A deafening neigh pierced through the tranquil sky outside Yangzhou.

Instead of standing up on its rear legs, the big black horse kept its head low and stepped its rear hooves heavily onto the soft ground, and created some mud rain and blinding dust.

The mud rain and dust blocked the view of the Tang army. When the dust settled and they could see the fields clearly again, the big black horse was already hundreds of meters away!

To dash out hundreds of meters within a blink — what a horrifying speed! Everyone was stunned by the straight line of dust on the fields and the bolt-like big black horse.

They were getting closer to the City of Yanghzou.

A commander of the cavalrymen from the Divine Halls of West-Hill exclaimed and tried to stop them with his talisman saber.

Ning Que did not even take a glance at him, nor did the big black horse.

The exclaim became scream instantly when the commander of the cavalryman was thrown into the air. Blood spurted from his neck under the armor and created a blood rain.

The City of Yangzhou was even closer.

A swordsman from the South Jin wanted to pull out his sword and prepared for a sneak attack. Although he was not from the Sword Garret he had learnt some of their skills and knew that he had to attack from nearby. Therefore he held tighter onto his sword.

He wanted to stab the sword at its full strength.

The big black horse knocked into him before he could even stab because the big black horse was too fast for him to predict and calculate, unimaginably faster than his sword.

To attack from nearby?

His sword was pushed back by the big black horse when he was about to pull it out. Blood splashed when the body of this swordsman from the South Jin was chopped into halves, by his own sword!

Along with roaring dust the big black horse charged into the ten thousands of cavalrymen.

It was resolute and fearless because its blood was burning. But of course he would have not been so resolute without the pills.

Along with the straight line of dust, a black bolt flashed over the fields. Alongside the straight line of dust, countless people were thrown into the air.

In a series of bangs, their strong armors were distorted. In a series of rumbles, their blades were broken.

The City of Yangzhou was right there.

The cavalrymen of the allied forces finally took their most effective defending position. Countless spears were pointed forward with the poisoning tips shone chillingly under the sun.

Ning Que stared at the vibrating arrow on the city wall and said, ”Up.”

The big black horse leaped a few miles into the air in a clear neigh!

Time almost ceased at that moment.

Sitting on his horse, Ning Que punched onto the nock of the arrow.

Countless cracks were formed on the thick city gate like spider webs.

The city gate collapsed in clattering.

The big black horse landed deftly like a swallow.

The horrible spears were already way behind it.

Instead of slowing down, it kept darting forward like a black spirit.

They entered the City of Yangzhou.
