442 Heroes, No Matter Alive or Dead! (1/2)
The shower of blood rained down with increasing fury, turning the ground red, but none of it so much as dripped on the thirty thousand men of the Steel Cavalry – what sort of speed and efficacy did it need to possess to achieve such unbelievable terror?
Wang Dingguo was still in the vanguard; his mind was blank at this point, thinking about nothing except the enemy that was in front of his eyes.
There was only the enemy ahead of them to consider.
It was, to some extent, a true embodiment of the term marching forward dauntlessly!
”Yutang's Steel Cavalry!” Wang Dingguo roared.
His body was still tilted forward to save the horse's energy, but the long saber in his hand was already spinning, forming a ray of light. In that single move, forty to fifty heads flew into the sky, while dozens of upper bodies were flung everywhere, streams of blood spluttering upwards.
When the corpses had dropped to the ground, Wang Dingguo was no less than a thousand feet away, along with his horse. He was that fast, moving in at a speed that indicated that he was both fearless and nonpareil.
”Peerless in the world!”
The frenzied growls of the thirty thousand men behind Wang Dingguo followed him. The Steel Cavalry tailed Wang Dingguo closely, like a surging tide, not breaking apart as they advanced.
A total of thirty thousand people rode as one – it was definitely a high point in the history of cavalry war!
”Kill!” Wang Dingguo's voice turned hoarse eventually, he had shouted too much; however, his imposing aura did not wane in the slightest.
”Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The Steel Cavalry howled in a crazed frenzy; ten thousand people had their weapons pointed forward, the other ten thousand people had their weapons pointed to the left while the remaining ten thousand people had their weapons pointed to the right. The slew the men that stood in their way without disrupting their orderly advance.
With a loud 'clang', an enemy general in front of Wang Dingguo was flung thirty feet away by the latter; both the horse and the man were bleeding through their seven orifices as they looked at Wang Dingguo hopelessly. Wang Dingguo spared them no glance, leaving only clouds of dust behind him.
The enemy's blockade, paid for with his life, did not even earn a glance from his opponent, stripping from him the luxury of resting in peace as he died.
”Woo~ Woo~”
A strange horn was being blown incessantly.
Wang Dingguo could guess that it was their enemy reshuffling their archers, gathering them together to let fly their arrows with precision. He did not think much about it though, only having one thought in his mind.
”Breach!”
Wang Dingguo let out another bellow, leading the Steel Cavalry and charging in a straight line across the army where two of the enemy's troops were assembled. Everywhere they passed, horses fell and men were flung away; heads rolled off, limbs were scattered indiscriminately, and blood coursed in streams!
The momentum gave chills to all the Dongxuan soldiers who had to face Yutang's Steel Cavalry. The sting of that chill was much more intense than the wintery cold they had to endure physically.
Were these humans that were attacking them?
Another loud clang greeted their ears. Wang Dingguo had slashed the three Dongxuan soldiers in front of him into six different parts with one strike. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief; his vision was clear.
He had breached the enemy's base!
The first half of their operation was completed!
It was a complete success!
Wang Dingguo did not turn about immediately. His speed remained constant as he sped forward another twenty thousand feet before steering his horse to make half a round – in front of the tip of his saber lay the base of Dongxuan.
The thunderous gallops still resounded, it was still an orderly formation. Thirty thousand men of the Steel Cavalry followed Wang Dingguo in making half a round almost without any loss of speed, all of them facing the Dongxuan army, bathed in blood.
Each of them had fresh blood smeared all over their helmets and their heads; all of them were red, blood red!
As if tens of thousands of killing machines had suddenly greeted the human realm, the sanguinariness exuded by this team of elite men was not only intimidating, it was terrifying!
Wang Dingguo did not linger, he roared to signal his start to the second wave.
”Yutang's Steel Cavalry! Kill, all the way back!”
”Kill, all the way back!”
Behind him, the Steel Cavalry's roar resonated uniformly. Their feet clapped their horses' abdomens, their bodies leaving the saddles to stretch forward; each of them howled as if possessed. They raised their weapons and followed closely behind Wang Dingguo.
The uniform formation turned, yet again, into a black tornado, a black arrow, in just two breaths after they charged. They were still indomitable and unstoppable in their mighty advance.
”Children of Dongxuan! Who dares to fight with your father?”
Wang Dingguo felt his blood burning to the point of no return, the adrenaline pumping through him made him incredibly ecstatic as he roared into the sky continuously, as he charged into Dongxuan's formation once more.
