Yun Zi Huang who was far away, turned in a circle and galloped back.

The heavy cavalry was getting closer and closer, not far from them. If they were surrounded by them, it was impossible for them to charge out through the ranks of the heavy cavalry.

Yun Yin handed the captive general to Yun Zhao, picked up two torches from the ground, and used them to issue orders for the Iron Guards to gather all the corpses at one place. The Iron Guards were already patrolling the enemy lying on the ground, killing the enemy that was still alive. Upon receiving the order, they immediately dismounted and used their fastest speed to drag the enemy's body towards the center. During this period of time, under the guidance of their personal guards, they quickly stripped the corpses of their armors and removed their weapons, as well as all the supplies that were useful to them.

The Iron Guards were divided into several teams. One team was responsible for clearing out the remaining enemies, one team was responsible for collecting supplies, and the last team was responsible for dragging the dead bodies to the middle and piling them up together, while the other two teams were responsible for inspecting the surroundings for any remaining enemies.

All of this did not require Yun Zihuang's order at all, as it had already formed a set rule long ago.

He could not tell how such a wound was formed, much less what kind of person the princess had killed so many enemies of the Fierce Sun Ascension Empire in such a short period of time.

This was also the princess' secret. He knew this well, so he ordered the Iron Guards to gather the corpses.

He had to set a fire and burn these corpses. He could not leave any clues for the enemy, much less let the princess' secret leak out!

Unfortunately, there weren't many personal guards here. Otherwise, he would've let the Iron Guards have no access to these corpses.

Yun Zhaojun was solemn. Of course, he had seen the strange wounds on the corpses, the strange deaths, but he asked no questions and kept his cold silence. Regardless of what methods or secrets the princess had, if the princess hadn't done such a miraculous thing tonight, they would have died in battle here.

The Iron Guard looked around and said, "Shut up, hurry up. Those stupid bears are coming."

The Iron Guards quickly cleaned up the battlefield. They too had many questions, but in their hearts, they were silent and did not say a word.

When Yun Zi Feng came back, he saw that the corpses had already been gathered together, and the spoils of war had been cleaned up.

"Dismount and set up an ambush!"

She gave a simple command, and Yun Zhao was startled as he looked at the heavy cavalry approaching from afar. The princess did not give the order to leave immediately. Instead, she ordered them to prepare an ambush while waiting for the heavy cavalry to attack.

"Understood."

He complied and gave out orders. The moment he saw the Iron Guard, he passed down the orders.

In the dark night, the heavy sounds of hooves could be heard, causing the surrounding earth to tremble. The shadows of the heavy cavalry soldiers could already be seen!

This was the Rising Sun Empire's heavy cavalry unit, and this was also the first time she had seen such a heavy cavalry unit in this era of cold weapons!

The Iron Guards, who had long been on the battlefield, didn't need their master or high-ranking officers to give too many orders. They had already taken over the responsibility, and the location of the Rising Sun Empire's crossbow archers, their crossbows, and their weapons were all waiting for the arrival of the heavy cavalry.

"Now, let's just wait and see. Since Duke Ba Tian has to give me such a big gift, how can I not accept it?"

She curled her lips and whispered a few words to Yun Zhao.

The heavy cavalry approached and advanced slowly. Although their speed was not fast, the pressure they brought was enormous.

The general of the Sun Ascension Empire was riding on a horse. Under the light of the fire, the soldiers of the Sun Ascension Empire could be vaguely seen.

Everything seemed normal, but the commander of the heavy cavalry felt that something was amiss.

Where were Princess Taiping and the Iron Guards?

Just now, he seemed to have heard painful wails and cries of despair when he was on the verge of death. Those were the cries of the soldiers of the Sun Ascension Empire. Now, however, this place was completely quiet, and he didn't see a single Iron Guard. If he didn't see the general sitting upright on the horse and seeing that there weren't any enemies nearby, he would have thought that something had happened.

Thinking of this, the commander of the heavy cavalry laughed. He must have been thinking too much, or had heard too much, about that princess of Taiping.

There were nearly a thousand Rising Sun Empire soldiers, long-ranged crossbows, short-ranged bows, and the bravest and strongest soldiers as well as well-prepared ambush rings.

No matter how capable the Iron Guard were, it was impossible for them to break through the archers' fire in such a short period of time and wipe out all the soldiers of the Rising Sun Empire. Furthermore, he saw a smile on the general's face.

The commanders of the heavy cavalry all revealed smiles. Of course, they knew the general's plan. They would force Princess Taiping to surrender, then kill the iron-armored guards who were tied up and had no ability to resist. The only person who could survive in this ambush was Princess Taiping, Yun Zihuang. Not only was she the daughter that Sky Tyrant Lord wanted, she was also the fiancée of Sky Origin Battle God King, the first daughter of the Duke of Chu.

They believed that the general's plan had succeeded, as they had expected.

When faced with a heavy cavalry which was several times stronger than herself, apart from putting down her weapon and obediently surrendering to save her life, Princess Taiping had no other choice!

"General, you're really quick. In this short period of time, you've killed all the Iron Guards."

The smell of blood in the air made them think that the blood was left behind by the general after he killed the Iron Guards. There were many corpses piled up in the distance, so they did not pay too much attention. They urged their horses forward and prepared to return to the tribe to rest. It was too simple. They didn't even have the chance to make a move. They couldn't help but laugh and say something to each other.

When the heavy cavalry drew near, the sharp sound of arrows piercing through the air rang out, and concentrated rain of arrows shot towards the heavy cavalry.

The Iron Guards had even been kind enough to let go of the heavy cavalry and shoot at the men on horseback.

This was also the battle method that they formed after following the princess. In the words of their young princess, the horses were not only innocent, but also precious.

Caught off guard, they encountered a fierce attack from their own people, causing countless heavy cavalry soldiers to fall from their horses. The extremely sharp and powerful arrows instantly pierced through their heavy armor. Even heavy cavalry soldiers had no way to resist the powerful crossbow bolts. The heavy crossbow was originally used by the Duke of Sky Tyrant Lord to ambush them here. It was used to assassinate the Iron Guard, but it was somewhat useless. Only by using it for heavy cavalry soldiers could it be considered useful.

In the midst of this sudden attack, the heavy cavalry soldiers fell off their horses one after another like ripe fruit.

"General, what are you doing?"

A high-ranking officer amongst the heavy cavalry soldiers roared as he asked this question. Only now did he realize that the smile on their general's face was incomparably stiff. The general was still smiling even when he saw them get killed one by one.
