C164 (1/2)

Zhang Bao shouted loudly, but the blade in his hand was still trembling slightly. It was unknown if it was because he was truly afraid, or because the thundering sound of the horse hooves caused him to lose his balance. He could not help but tightly hold onto the blade in his hands, and forced himself to calm down.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Like a thunderstorm, the ten thousand cavalrymen were getting closer and closer. What surprised Zhang Bao was that the cavalry did not hold any swords or spears, but held bows and arrows instead. The long Arrows was already nocked to their bowstrings, staring at the great array of xanthopanax like a tiger staring covetously at its prey.

”Ghost …”

Finally, the soldiers of the xanthopanax saw the twenty thousand odd grimaces, even though many believed that they were actually from the cavalry of Youzhou, and not some heavenly soldier. However, there were still people who cried out in fear. Fear was the disease that spread the fastest, following the screams, the hearts of the soldiers of the xanthopanax were clenched tightly.

”Prepare to shoot!”

Zhang Bao screamed as he tried to suppress the fear of his soldiers. xanthopanax raised his bow and arrows, and Arrows s flew into the sky one after another. The Arrows that fell from the sky could maximize the damage to the cavalry's warhorses, and once the cavalry's warhorses were injured, the intense pain would cause the war horses to lose control.

”Shoot!”

Almost at the same time, both sides gave the order to shoot. A Arrows soared into the sky, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air, flying towards the opponent's array. Many Arrows even collided in the air, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

”Puff puff puff …”

One by one, the Arrows s stabbed into the enemy's formation, and immediately followed with waves of miserable screams. Countless of soldiers were shot to the ground, and the wails became louder and louder. Team after team of cavalry of Youzhou ran in front of the formation as waves of Arrows flew towards them.

Although the xanthopanax had the advantage in numbers, it could not stop the cavalry of Youzhou's nimble movements. More than twenty thousand cavalrymen surrounded the xanthopanax like a giant hedgehog, constantly rushing past its front line. The mounted Arrows s in the process shot further, and their killing power was greater, but there were not many of the xanthopanax's Arrows that could defend against the assault.

”Phew …”

Yang Lin raised the blade in his hand, with over twenty thousand horses following behind him slowly. When they were about one arrow away from the Yellow Scarves' Great Formation, the cavalry stopped in their tracks.

Looking at the great formation of the xanthopanax, Yang Lin could not help but sigh. It seems that the light cavalry was not enough, if he could not break through the enemy's formation, he could only watch and sigh. If he wanted to destroy the enemy completely, he would have to break through the enemy's formation.

The two sides were in a deadlock. No one could do anything to each other. Although there were many casualties in the xanthopanax, the formation was still neat and orderly. After all, Zhang Jiao's xanthopanax had been fighting with the officials and the cavalry for a long time.

”First team, turn into a second team, then retreat back to the camp.”

After a moment of stalemate, Zhang Bao gave the order to retreat. Under his command, the entire Yellow Scarf Brigade slowly retreated. It was a pity for the injured xanthopanax soldiers, as long as they couldn't walk on their own, Zhang Ding would throw them into the snow and retreat.

They never thought that they would not have gone far, when Yang Lin waved his hand, as if he had said something. More than a thousand riders dismounted from their horses, and walked towards the xanthopanax soldiers who were injured. The soldiers of the xanthopanax closed their eyes and prayed for their comrades.

When they opened their eyes, they saw the cavalry of Youzhou s helping the injured soldiers stand up, helping them to bandage their wounds, and some even supported their warhorses.

Immediately, murmurs came from the Yellow Scarves' Great Formation. Some of the xanthopanax soldiers even stopped and stared blankly at their comrades who were leaving on their horses. Even the General of the Yellow Scarf Army soldiers were at a loss and couldn't help but stop in their tracks.

”Retreat, hurry and retreat.”

Zhang Bao roared, waking up the dazed xanthopanax soldiers. Zhang Bao, in his heart, understood better than anyone else that Yang Lin's move was stronger than shooting ten thousand Arrows into the xanthopanax's formation. It could be said to have directly destroyed the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves's morale.

Master, Qing He County Zhou Biao is here.

Yang Lin was in the middle of commanding the riders to set up camp when a personal guard suddenly ran over to report. Just when Yang Lin wanted to go into the city to take a look, he did not expect Zhou Biao to come first. When Yang Lin came out of the camp, more than a thousand cavalrymen came to the entrance of the camp, led by the Qing He County's Zhou Biao.

”Master Yang Lin came all the way here, I didn't welcome you at all, I'm sorry.”

As soon as they had met, Zhou Biao was quite courteous and immediately went forward to pay his respects. Normally, since both of them were taiwai, it would be fine if they were polite to each other. However, Yang Lin had travelled a long distance, and was here to save Qing He, so his manners were understandable.
