Yun Zihuang urged her horse to gallop, bent over onto the horse's back, and shot a short crossbow towards the northern cavalry soldiers, stopping them from chasing her. At the same time, she also made it difficult for them to injure her with their arrows.
The people of the northern region were caught unawares as Bartle suddenly fell from his horse. They were urged to flee by her. Before they could react, the crossbow injured the few riders closest to her and they fell to the ground. For a moment, the northern cavalry was in a state of chaos. The riders behind her hurriedly rushed to rescue their fallen companion, not giving her any time to react. She took the opportunity to pull away from the people from the north. The people from the back came to their senses and took out their bows to shoot at her.
There were also some mounted soldiers who urged their horses to chase after them.
However, at this time, the Iron Guards had also rushed towards Yun Zi Huang, using their bows and arrows to shoot at the people from the northern region.
Both sides shot arrows at each other. Yun Zihuang's body left the horse's back and hung on the other side of the horse to prevent it from getting hurt by the Northern Tribe people's sharp arrows. The pursuers from behind quickly rushed over. The Wind Chasing Army from left and right also came to surround them. The people of the northern region, who were chasing after Yun Zihuang, found it difficult to resist the Iron Guard's arrows. They could only bitterly give up on the chase and galloped back into the group.
At this moment, the cavalry of the northern region despaired. Without Princess Pingping as a hostage, they would probably be completely annihilated when they faced thousands of the Chasing Wind Army and Iron Guards!
”The Laws …”
The war horse below him let out a sorrowful cry as it slowed down and fell to the ground.
Although Yun Zihuang was hanging on the side of the war horse and had avoided the arrows of the people of the northern region, her war horse had been shot by a few arrows, which was extremely fatal. As she ran, she lost even more blood, and her injuries worsened as she fell to the ground. She had expected this. She loosened her arms and legs and rolled over the ground to avoid being crushed by the fallen horse.
With a flip, she half knelt from the rolling, panting as she looked back.
The Iron Guards had already clashed with the people of the northern region. The Iron Guards were in hot pursuit, and the people of the northern region were fleeing in panic. At this moment, her heart relaxed. The Iron Guards flew past her, and she was escorted by a group of Iron Guards. The one in the lead bowed, ”Princess, please get on your horse.”
The Iron Guard held onto the reins and knelt beside the saddle. He bent his back so that it was parallel to the ground. Using his back as a seat, he waited for Yun Zihuang to mount the horse. At this time, she no longer cared about modesty. She lifted her foot to borrow some strength from the Iron Guard's back and mounted the war horse.
The other Steel Cavalry all went to chase and attack the people from the Northern Reaches. In the dark night, her gaze was searching everywhere for Feng Qingxiao's trace.
A group of Iron Guards quickly flew over, led by Feng Qingxiao.
Their gazes met, and Feng Qingxiao urged his horse forward. The surrounding Iron Guards bowed from their horses, making a path for them.
Yun Zihuang cupped her fists: ”Greetings, Master.”
”No, who is the leader of the northern barbarians?”
”Battle.”
Hearing this name, a dark glint appeared in his eyes: ”You're talking about Bartle, the person who caught you?”
”Yes.”
Feng Qingxiao sneered, ”The son of the Barbarian King, a famous general of the northern region. He changed his appearance and snuck into the northern border. Send the order, I, Bartle, want him alive.”
She wanted to ask who Bartle was, but after thinking for a while, she didn't ask. She said in a low voice, ”Thank you, Master, for coming to rescue me. I will take my leave and return to War God City.”
He approached her and asked in a low voice, ”What was the injury?”
