As the retreat horn sounded in Wanning Valley, the Barbarian soldiers at the front finally snapped to their senses. Immediately after, without even waiting for the severely injured Xiao Hongbo to issue a command, the few hundred thousand Barbarian Army at the vanguard also sounded the retreat horn.
In fact, Lu Chen’s few hundred cannon shots were simply incapable of killing all few hundred thousand Barbarian soldiers.
But the Barbarian Cavalry was, after all, seeing such a terrifying weapon for the first time, which magnified the fear in their hearts.
People are always most afraid of the unknown, and the Barbarian soldiers also had no idea how many of those exploding “stones” Yan County actually possessed.
Wu wu wu—!!!
Wu wu wu—!!!
The urgent retreat horn echoed through Wanning Valley, with the Barbarian soldiers running crazily toward the rear. The initial formation of the Barbarian soldiers also completely disintegrated as they only focused on their own escape.
Soon a severe trampling incident occurred in Wanning Valley, and many of the Barbarian cavalry who were knocked down were stepped on by their own comrades, trampled to death.
Seeing the Barbarian soldiers in complete disarray, Lu Chen finally understood what it meant to collapse like a crumbling mountain.
If you really counted, the grenade launchers probably killed fewer than ten thousand Barbarian Cavalry, but the soldiers trampled to death by their own people were estimated by Lu Chen to be nearly ten thousand.
At this moment, Mu Changtian, mounted on his horse, had already become incredibly impatient.
The soldiers inside the city were already prepared to charge.
Lu Chen then said, “Signal the Artillery camp, fire all the cannonballs, don’t hold back a single one!”
As the flags conveyed the order, the artillerymen in Wanning Valley immediately began bombing the fleeing Barbarian soldiers.
Seeing the Barbarian cavalry being blown sky-high, even the soldiers of the Artillery camp couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
Many in the Artillery camp were archers, veterans who had participated in defending North City against the Barbarian Tribe.
But when had they ever witnessed such a scene?
The once invincible Barbarian Cavalry, in face of the grenade launchers, could only be mercilessly annihilated.
Just thinking of such a terrible weapon being used against themselves someday, the soldiers of the Artillery camp felt a chill and broke into a cold sweat.
The soldiers couldn’t help but feel fortunate that they were born in North City, were soldiers from North City, soldiers under the North Prince.
Meanwhile.
The severely injured Xiao Hongbo stood up with the help of his subordinates, his mind still foggy, having no clue about the current situation.
All he knew was that suddenly a powerful force had flung him into the air.
Seeing that Xiao Hongbo was still not dead, Lu Chen instantly took out the Barrett from his space system, loaded the bullet, and aimed at the distant Xiao Hongbo.
At that moment, Mu Changtian came up from under the city wall, wishing to get Lu Chen to order an immediate pursuit of the fleeing Barbarian cavalry.
But as soon as he approached Lu Chen, he found that Lu Chen held a black long stick in his hand, aiming at the far-off Xiao Hongbo.
Before Mu Changtian could speak, a gunshot rang out.
Bang…
Then, the still-confused Xiao Hongbo was instantly shot through the chest.
Feeling the huge wound in his chest, Xiao Hongbo looked down slightly, his pupils contracted, revealing an unbelieving expression.
Afterwards, Xiao Hongbo slowly collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.
Seeing this, Mu Changtian was slightly stunned.
He remembered what Li Feng had told him not long ago, that the North Prince possessed a mysterious weapon capable of instantaneously killing a Grandmaster.
This black long stick must be the mysterious weapon Li Feng spoke of.
The North Prince’s weapons were all too terrifying!
From one kilometer away, it directly killed a Master Realm expert, a feat that even a Grandmaster would find difficult to achieve.
Of course, no matter how terrifying the weapons in the North Prince’s hands were, they were still not as horrifying as the grenade launchers.
Just now, they had witnessed with their own eyes a single cannonball blowing a Barbarian Grandmaster into dozens of pieces. In terms of power, the grenade launchers were still far more formidable.
After shooting Xiao Hongbo, Lu Chen came back to his senses and said to Mu Changtian beside him, “General Mu, the task of exterminating the Barbarian Cavalry is up to you!”
Hearing this, Mu Changtian immediately replied loudly, “Yes, Prince!”
As soon as he had spoken, Mu Changtian pushed off with his legs and jumped straight down from the city tower, landing firmly on his horse below.
With a wave of his hand, Mu Changtian flung his robe aside and bellowed.
“Open the city gates!!!”
With Mu Changtian’s powerful voice, the gates of Yan County slowly opened.
The next moment, Mu Changtian, leading the charge, dashed out of the city gates!
“Soldiers, follow me to kill!”
“Kill kill kill!!!”
The morale of Yan County’s soldiers was instantly rallied, and they left the city walls to pursue and kill the Barbarian cavalry.
At the same time.
After Xiao Pengthian’s army of fifty thousand had been bombed, losing untold numbers, they finally managed to escape the range of the artillery.
Seeing that there were no more explosive rocks falling from the sky, the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But very soon, they sensed something was wrong.
Suddenly, Wanning Valley became exceptionally quiet.
Even quieter than before.
So silent that they seemed to hear their own heartbeats, as if even the sound of the retreat horn had disappeared.
Xiao Pengthian frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
At that moment, a soldier beside Xiao Pengthian suddenly exclaimed, “General, quick, look!!!”
Xiao Pengthian immediately looked into the distance.
The huge setting sun was facing their direction, seemingly blocking the entire Wanning Valley.
Amidst the sunset, line after line of vast, dark shadows loomed closer to them.
And then the earth began to tremble.
It was only when the cavalry approached that Xiao Pengthian and his men could see clearly. The soldiers of that army were clad in black armor, even their warhorses covered in thick armor.
In the light of the setting sun, they appeared as though they were an army emerging from hell.
Xiao Pengthian’s face turned pale in an instant.
Heavy… Cavalry!!!
And there were at least tens of thousands of them!
How was this possible!!!
The Barbarian Tribes didn’t have so many heavy cavalry units!!!
Just crafting a single set of heavy cavalry armor could take an unimaginable amount of time.
Yet Great Sum actually possessed such an enormous force of heavy cavalry!!!
If on the open plains, these Great Sum heavy cavalry might not have been able to do much against them. After all, the Barbarian Tribe’s light cavalry was more mobile and faster, and these heavy cavalry could be relatively clumsy and might not catch up with them.
But now it was different.
This was Wanning Valley!
Tens of thousands of heavy cavalry stationed in Wanning Valley were like an array of iron walls.
Where could they run to?
Heading towards Yan County now would mean getting blown to pieces, and if they charged straight at them, they would also get chopped down by this heavy cavalry.
Xiao Pengthian gripped the axe in his hands tightly, his muscles bulging, straining against his armor.
Finally, he made his decision.
Xiao Pengthian raised the axe in his hands toward the direction of the sun, and with all his might, he shouted, “Warriors of the Barbarian Tribe! Charge with me!!!”
As his words fell, Xiao Pengthian rode his horse straight at the Black Cavalry, and the Barbarian Tribe’s soldiers followed him like a tidal wave towards the iron walls beneath the setting sun..
