”What a powerful secret weapon!” Although Taishi Ci did not know what it was, he understood that it was the most terrifying weapon that he had ever seen. He could not help but rejoice in his heart. Fortunately, he had already pledged his allegiance to the Lord General, so he did not need to worry that black lumps would land on his head. Otherwise, no matter how good his martial arts were, his flesh and blood would probably be splattered everywhere.

”Lord General, since you have such a powerful secret weapon, why don't you equip all the cavalrymen?” It had already been a few months since Taishi Ci last saw this kind of black mass, and today, it was only the personal squadrons of the Lord General that had such a weapon.

”The reason why it is a secret weapon is because it is not easy to produce and the production is limited. It is impossible to equip all the teams.” Actually the more important reason was that Yang Lin did not want to let his gunpowder technology spread around, he was trying to control it with his own hands.

When it was almost noon, the dense fog finally completely dispersed, and the sounds of the West Cold Cavalry's hooves could no longer be heard. Even one of the West Cold Cavalry's scout s could not be seen. Yang Lin could not help but heave a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had completely broken free from the West Cold Cavalry's encirclement.

Just then, Taishi Ci ran over from the front and reported to Yang Lin: ”Lord General, there is a mountain in front of us. Trees are growing everywhere on the mountain, it is a suitable place for an ambush. According to the scout, this place is called Chaotic Stone Gang, I am worried that there will be an ambush, so send troops to scout around, what about it? ”

Of course, Yang Lin knew about this place. This place was an extension of the Five Elements Mountain, and after passing this place, they would reach the Shang Ye City. But since this place was indeed suitable for ambush, Yang Lin did not dare to be careless and followed Taishi Ci to the front of the mountain.

”Send a team of cavalry to scout and use crossbows to shoot at the bushes.”

Following Yang Lin's command, over a dozen cavalrymen rushed out. They ran up the hill, shooting arrows into the trees as they went, but there was no response from the trees. However, what surprised Yang Lin was that there were no wild birds flying out of the bushes.

”Something's wrong.” According to common sense, there should be many wild birds in the trees, especially when a dozen cavalrymen were running at full speed. Yang Lin waved to the personal guards beside him, and more than ten personal guards rushed out.

The personal guards also ran along the edge of the trees, but they didn't shoot any arrows, instead, they threw a few iron lump s into the trees. Accompanying a loud rumbling sound, a group of West Cold Army soldiers rushed out from the thick black smoke.

These were Guo Si's cavalry troops, they were lying in ambush on the rocky mountain peak, waiting to attack the cavalry of Youzhou, but unexpectedly, they were frightened by the iron lump. They could no longer care about Guo Si's orders, and started running all over the place with their bloodied limbs.

Seeing that his ambush had been exposed, Guo Si immediately gave the order to attack. Although he was also shocked by the explosions, he did not see the power of the Thunderbolt Bomb.

Yang Lin was surprised to see so many cavalrymen lying in ambush at the Shrek Plateau. Seeing that Guo Si had completely occupied the northern path, he could only order loudly: ”Taishi Ci, lead the team and advance eastward to attack. I'll cut off the rear.”

Taishi Ci already knew the secret of Yang Lin and his personal guards, so he was no longer worried for Yang Lin's safety. He immediately raised the powerful crossbow in his hand and shouted towards the riders behind him.

After Guo Si's riders rushed out from the trees, they quickly gathered into a formation and gathered in the open space in front of the mountain. Then, they pounced towards Yang Lin's riders. This time, the West Cold Cavalry formed a triangular offense formation. Like a Arrows that was rushing towards their direction, it rushed towards Yang Lin's personal guards without hesitation.

cavalry of Youzhou raised her crossbow and the Arrows flew into the air. It then turned around and descended towards West Cold Cavalry who was running at full speed, like raindrops falling from the sky. West Cold Cavalry who were sprinting fell to the ground one by one, many of them even though they were not shot to death, they were all dead.

Yang Lin brought a few thousand cavalry of Youzhou s with him and sprinted forward, wanting to break away from the pursuit of the Guo Si Cavalry. He also didn't know if Dong Zhuo had any more ambushing troops, so he could only choose to escape to the Five Element Mountain. That was Army of Montenegro's territory after all, he did not believe that Dong Zhuo would even buy it.

Sure enough, Guo Si led his cavalry to chase them for a while, but when they saw Yang Lin's cavalry entering the Five Elements Mountain, he ordered his troops to stop. Firstly, the topography of the Five Element Mountain was too complicated, and if he rashly went in, he might be ambushed by Yang Lin. Secondly, he was also a little worried that the Five Element Mountain's Army of Montenegro could not perform as much as the cavalry and might not be a match for the Army of Montenegro.

After getting rid of Guo Si's pursuers, Yang Lin led the cavalry north, ready to pass through the Five Elements Mountain and rush to the Shang Ye Country to meet up with the Union State. Although Yang Lin was not familiar with the terrain, but in order to deal with the Army of Montenegro, Chen Cang and Liu Zhi's intelligence agents had done some research on the topography of the Five Element Mountain, so they still had a rough understanding of the mountain path.
