C56 (2/2)
”Yang Lin is such a merciful person, to actually want us to capture him alive and kill him as little as possible. How could he be so confident that these xanthopanax would obediently let us capture them alive! ”
”I'm sure he won't leave us here. There must be other arrangements.”
With regards to this, He Xiong was very confident. In order to save the brothers that were captured by the fresh inferior, Yang Lin dared to challenge a fresh and low tribe with tens of thousands of people.
”Raise the flag, get ready to fight!”
”Understood.”
The flag was the flag that commanded the battle. If the flag was erected in the middle of the army, all the soldiers would be ready to fight. The direction that the flag was pointing towards was the direction that the army was about to attack.
It was a pity that these Zhuoxian soldiers were all newly recruited soldiers, and most of them did not manage to understand what the flags meant. Only under the urging of the generals of all sizes did the timid soldiers hastily set up the formation, their legs already trembling.
”Look …”
It was unknown which soldier with the keenest ears could feel the faint sound of thunder coming from the ground, or which warrior with the sharpest eyes could see the black shadow emerging from the horizon. Several people let out a terrified scream at the same time. Following the direction of their finger, someone drew a long black line in the direction where the sun had set.
Everyone, whether it was the xanthopanax or the Zhuoxian soldiers, opened their eyes wide as they stared at the black line nervously. Gradually, the black streak became thicker and thicker, as if it were a black embroidered edge of the vast earth. It seemed more like a rolling black ocean wave, sweeping towards their direction.
The Bullhorn on both sides stopped, no one ordered them to do so. The soldiers of both sides could not understand where the black storm was coming from. It was unknown whether it was a heavenly soldier from the heavens or a ghost from hell.
The ground was trembling, the trees were trembling, the clouds were trembling, the sky was trembling, even the air was trembling.
”Oh my god …” It's the cavalry! ”
Almost at the same time, the soldiers on both sides blurted out. At this time, everyone could feel the ground trembling. They could see the magnificent sight of ten thousand horses galloping. Everyone began to tremble, xanthopanax was so afraid that he started to tremble, while Zhuoxian officers and soldiers was so excited that he started to tremble.
”Our cavalry is coming.”
Yang Lei laughed with his mouth wide open. He laughed so happily. It was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. All this while, he had always regarded Yang Lin as his own son and was proud of him. It was as if he was immersed in it, and even his own blood began to boil with it.
”Yes, our cavalry is coming.”
He Xiong and Cang Jie also laughed, it was a kind of smile that came from the bottom of their hearts. They knew that Yang Lin would definitely come, and that he would definitely come while stepping on a myriad of huge waves. He came with awe-inspiring might, and with his overwhelming lightning might, he caused any enemy to tremble in fear, making everyone submit beneath his feet.
”Oh my god, where did all these cavalrymen come from?”
Cheng Yuanzhi was also intimidated by the gigantic cavalry army and mumbled to himself. It was not a thousand or two thousand, nor was it ten thousand or twenty thousand. Instead, it was a sea of cavalry that blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Behind them, the dust raised by the warhorse covered the sun.
The sabers pointed at the sky, and even the clouds in the sky changed color. In an instant, the sky turned even darker, and a shadow loomed over everyone's hearts. Their breathing started to quicken, and their pupils started to become confused, as their hearts began to contract.
”Retreat, hurry and retreat.”
Finally, Cheng Yuanzhi came to his senses. Such a powerful cavalry army, no matter what he did, he could not resist them. In this open field, as long as there were a thousand cavalrymen spread out, they would be able to scatter the tens of thousands of troops.
In fact, before he gave the order, many of the xanthopanax soldiers had already started to escape, they had already mentally collapsed. The xanthopanax s that had not run yet, upon hearing the order to retreat, immediately started to flee. He had lost his spear, his broadsword, and even his shoes. He only wished that his parents were still alive and running without a care in the world.
”Kill …”
Yang Lei also woke up from the shock, wasn't this the perfect time to wait? Seeing that the xanthopanax was defeated without even fighting, how could he let go of such an opportunity? Pointing the spear in his hands forward, he suddenly grabbed the horse belly and rushed forward first.
In fact, even the Zhuoxian soldiers were stunned. Although they knew that Yang Lin had more than 20,000 cavalry, the number in front of him was only 100,000! Could this be the Heavenly Soldier that Yang Lin borrowed? When they saw Yang Lei rushing out, they shouted loudly as they followed him.
”Kill …”
The battle became a race, and not a single person in xanthopanax resisted. The mounted General of the Yellow Scarf Army s had long since disappeared, and those who were running slowly were undoubtedly captured, while those who ran fast were like startled rabbits, not daring to turn their heads back.
However, no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't outrun the horse. ”Da Da Da” sounds of the horses kept following them from behind, as if they could step onto them at any time, causing them to not even have the chance to breathe. One of the xanthopanax soldier could not even run anymore and could not help but to turn his head to look.
”Ghost …”
They were all ghosts, devils from hell. They all had fierce faces, bared fangs, and brandished claws; they were not riding on horses, but riding on a bamboo pole, and were all floating in the air.
”Ghost …”
Not only was the xanthopanax shocked, even the Zhuoxian officers and soldiers were shocked. They were chasing after the xanthopanax and were extremely happy to see their Cavalry coming over, so they wanted to turn around and greet him.
That was not a big deal, all the xanthopanax s who turned around almost fainted because of fright, and became as good as carrying slaves. When the faster xanthopanax saw these Ghost Cavalry from afar, they were already scared out of their wits. They didn't even dare to breathe, and kept running forward.
As the saying goes, defeat is like a landslide. There was nothing wrong with that. The five thousand xanthopanax s who were left behind by Cheng Yuanzhi to defend the city saw the Ghost Cavalry s that were spread all over the mountains and plains from afar, and were completely terrified. They were scared out of their wits, and didn't dare to defend the city anymore. Others were so frightened that they kneeled on the ground and kowtowed while mumbling.
Originally, Cheng Yuanzhi had even wanted to escape to the Guangyang City, but who knew that before he could even run to the Guangyang City, those Ghost Cavalry s would already be there for him before him. As for the five thousand xanthopanax s who remained to defend the city, they had long abandoned the city and fled.
”Lord General, let's just run. Guangyang has already been lost, we can go to fishing yang to gather our men, and then we can rise again.”
Cheng Yuanzhi's few generals had already ran over. Although the large group of people had already escaped, the few generals and their personal guards were still together with them, adding up to a few thousand people. Seeing that Cheng Yuanzhi was still hesitating, Deng Mao immediately went forward to persuade him. He really did not want to see those Ghost Cavalry s again.
”Send my order, gather at fishing yang.”
Yang Lei, He Xiong and Cang Jie were extremely busy, their only mission was to catch the captives, like catching chickens, they chased after the veterans of xanthopanax. Suddenly, they saw a few Ghost Cavalry galloping over, scaring the Zhuoxian officers and soldiers beside them to the point that they were trembling in fear.
”The Lord Commander has an order to order Yang Lei to bring over five thousand soldiers to the city to collect the looted property, in order to maintain security in the Guangyang City. Others are stationed outside the city to take in the prisoners, and are not allowed to disturb the people. ”
After sending the orders to the Ghost Cavalry s, they once again rode their horses and left. From beginning to end, Yang Lei and the others did not say a word. They also knew that this was Yang Lin's cavalry army, but they didn't know why they had become like this. A soldier that was beside them asked Yang Lei as he looked at the distant Ghost Cavalry in fear.
”Large... Master, are they ghosts or humans? ”
”What nonsense are you talking about, those are Divine Soldiers and Divine Generals.”
Even Cheng Yuanzhi didn't expect that the Ghost Cavalry s would stop after merely chasing after the Guangyang City. They just held their swords high up in the air, riding on their horses and screaming at ghosts, running back and forth outside the Guangyang City, circling the Guangyang City three times. Under the lead of a long spear, those Ghost Cavalry were just like how they came here, gradually getting further and further away, finally disappearing from the horizon.
