”We're also hiding?”
”Where are we hiding?”
”Wait, big brother must be hiding because he doesn't want to reveal his strength. If we come out right now, xanthopanax will think that we only have a thousand or so people and might be able to help Big Brother out. ”
”It's possible.”
Zhao Yun and Cang Ba's tightly knitted eyebrows slowly relaxed. They believed in their own judgement, hence they firmly nodded their heads and gave the order to the generals beside them.
”No matter what happens, we have to attack the xanthopanax. We can't let them ruin the people. Send the order down, increase your speed and ambush xanthopanax. ”
”Giddy …”
Following the shouts from the cavalrymen, all the war horses swung their hooves, raising a cloud of dust into the sky. The entire troop of cavalrymen stirred up bursts of violent winds and flew towards xanthopanax, who was robbed.
The reason why he had come to the north of the Wan City to operate was not only to steal, but also to watch over the Imperial army. Along the way, they passed through like locusts, looting all the villages along the way.
Zhao Hong was also a very cautious person. While robbing, he had even sent the exorcism tens of kilometers away. But he was mainly afraid of Imperial army, and exorcism was also sending him there. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that a large troop of cavalry would descend from the sky.
When the xanthopanax saw the large troop of cavalry, he immediately ran back to report to Zhao Hong in fright. However, the cavalry was still way too fast, almost immediately following Zhao Hong's exorcism, before Zhao Hong could retreat, a large group of cavalry had caught up.
Fortunately, Zhang Mancheng was on guard against the cavalrymen, and when the troops set out, Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves had already brought his spear and bow, which were effective weapons used by the infantry against the cavalry. However, it was only for defense. If he wanted to attack the cavalry, he would have to do so.
When he heard that over a thousand cavalrymen had arrived, Zhao Hong, who was leading the troops, did not panic. He quickly dispatched exorcism to the Wan City to inform Zhang Mancheng, and quickly organized the Lance Soldier and the Lance Soldier to form a dense formation, surrounding the large group of xanthopanax and protecting the large group of xanthopanax to retreat.
Just as he finished arranging the Long Spear Array, Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves felt the ground shake. At the far end of the wilderness, he could see a faint black shadow rolling forward.
As the ground shook more and more violently, the black shadow became more and more clear. The horde of cavalrymen seemed to break through the earth as they lined up densely into a long line, aggressively swarming over. The incoming Armoured Cavalry was like a storm that contained a myriad of thunderbolts. Everywhere the iron hooves passed, bits and pieces of broken branches and fallen leaves splashed into the air. Along with billowing dust, they shot straight up to the nine heavens.
”Oh my god, it's a cavalry unit!”
Facing the large troop of cavalrymen who were rushing over and looking at the magnificent sight of the galloping horses, Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves opened his eyes wide in fear. The hands that held onto the pike trembled and the arms that pulled on the bowstring also weakened.
These xanthopanax were all soldiers from the south. They had never seen such a large number of warhorses before.
Zhao Hong started to feel cowardly, and started to panic in his heart. Panic spread quickly among the soldiers of the xanthopanax like an infectious disease.
Zhao Yun and Cang Ba raised their trident spears and galloped frantically on their horses. Over a thousand cavalry of Youzhou riders followed closely behind him, and the scattered charging array formation was like a wave that came from the ocean, but also like a flowing river, sweeping towards the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves.
”Kill …”
Following Zhao Yun and Cang Ba's loud yells, the over a thousand Steel Cavalry members let out deafening roars, like thunder. Thousands of metal hooves raised a burst of grey soil, a thousand over longbows mounted on Arrows s, and pounced towards xanthopanax's Long Spear Array.
Zhao Yun, Cang Ba are not a reckless person, he knows that this cavalry is big brother's treasure, facing xanthopanax, he is not stupid enough to forcefully charge forward. He didn't know if it would break, but it was definitely not a small number of casualties, so he couldn't take such a loss.
Truthfully speaking, the weapons which the nomadic peoples used to rule the world were only used by war horses, cavalry and bows and arrows. To kill a large number of enemies, one would have to rely on speed and Arrows. To the light cavalry, charging into battle was no different from committing suicide.
Even Zhao Hong was wondering why the cavalry soldiers did not raise their weapons and spears, but instead only held their bows and arrows in their hands. Before he could even react, waves of archery rain had already descended from the sky. The Arrows was emitting a dazzling aura, and a cold killing intent poured out from the vast field.
”Puff puff puff …”
The soldiers of the xanthopanax did not have the equipment of the Imperial army, and the majority of them did not even have the equipment of leather armour s. The Arrows s that filled the sky stabbed into their bodies. Accompanied by miserable screams and wails, those pitiful Lance Soldier s fell down in rows.
”Release the arrows, release the arrows …”
Zhao Hong hysterically shouted as he ordered his archer to retaliate. Immediately, rows and rows of Arrows s shot out from the formation, and those cavalry soldiers who were too far in front were shot down from their horses.
However, most of the cavalrymen were just passing by the Long Spear Array of xanthopanax, rushing up and shooting one or two arrows, and after turning half a circle in front of the Long Spear Array, they ran towards the side.
Seeing that the riders had gathered again, Zhao Hong finally understood that this was the next time they were preparing for a charge. He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. If they were allowed to continue charging like this, his thirty thousand men would be slaughtered by them in a few rounds.
”archer, prepare to shoot.”
