Chapter 966: The Winter Battle (5)*neigh* *neigh* *neigh*
Nan Hua saw the horses' movement and her eyes narrowed. She could notice that the soldiers who were riding the horses around the commander seemed to have guessed that something like this would happen.
They all had another strap on their body that tied them towards the horses.
"SPREAD APART!" Nan Hua suddenly yelled.
The five commanders were stunned, but they quickly did as Nan Hua said and spread further into the enemy's line. Even if this would leave Nan Hua alone, they didn't dare not to follow her arrangement.
For all they knew, Nan Hua would surely have her own plan to do this.
"You..."
Swish!
Nan Hua leapt forward toward one of the cavalry soldier. Her hand directly swung the sword she carried with her towards the additional strap that bind the soldier with the horse.
"Gah!"
Jleb!
With the sudden stab wound on their bodies, the horse couldn't stay calm and raise their legs or shook their body rapidly.
And those who fell near the rampaging horse suffered another fate...
"AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Which was getting trampled to death.
Commander Meng's eyes flashed with ruthlessness when he saw what Nan Hua did. Prime Minister Lei had warned him that asking the cavalry to protect him had another risk, which was why he had asked his soldiers to bind themselves tighter to the horses.
But this was not within his plan.
"Run over the barbarians from the Mountain Tribe!" Commander Meng roared in anger.
Nan Hua didn't give any chance for Commander Meng to give more order as she kicked the horse in Commander Meng's direction.
*neigh*
The horse rushed towards Commander Meng.
"Gah!"
Slash!
Commander Meng killed the horse and saw Nan Hua had appeared from behind the horse and rushed in his direction. He gritted his teeth and swung his sword as fast and as hard as possible.
"Ignorant brat!"
It was also one of the reasons why there were adjutants to help a commander. There were times when it would be necessary for the adjutant to take control of the order and make sure that the soldiers still maintain the formation.
"UOOOOO!"
The mountain tribe were still charging forward.
Nan Hua swiftly evaded to the side and parried the attack once more. She had to admit that the commander had quite a good skill. It would be much easier for her to use covert attack in this kind of place, but she would require higher concentration to be able to land good shoot.
For an opponent like Commander Meng, Nan Hua knew very well that it wouldn't be easy for her to land a clean hit with her needles.
It would be better for her to use her swordsmanship that she had trained for years.
Swish! Slash!
With a twist of her body, Nan Hua's sword cut through the flesh of the horse before she jumped back once more.
*neigh*
"Damn you!" Commander Meng was mad. He couldn't land any clean hit on Nan Hua while she kept on jumping around and toyed with him. He thoroughly felt humiliated from this battle.
How come a little kid like this could be so powerful?
Just who is she?
"Number one to three, take care of the incoming commanders," Nan Hua yelled and then rushed forward.
Incoming commanders?
Commander Meng really wanted to take a look, but Nan Hua had attracted all of his attention once more. His eyes turned red as he was forced to fight against this little kid who was truly a monster.
Just how in the world did a person like this came to the world?
Drap! Swish! Clang!
Swish! Clang! Clang!
The sounds of metal clashing kept on reverberating on the battlefield along with occasional orders from Nan Hua.
At first, the five commanders were skeptical.
But when they saw this...
They were utterly convinced by her ability.
To be able to duel someone yet still maintain enough focus to observe the surroundings... wasn't this the same as not putting her all into the battle?
They silently lit a candle to Nan Hua's opponent.
