"Then send out the Eagles s to send a letter immediately and have the lords attack the city. They are mounted soldiers, so in this one hundred li, they will arrive at most tomorrow morning. Once they attack, you will bring the thousand of them back. Zhang Mancheng can't blame you for that. "
Qin Ming shook his head. After walking a few rounds, he had already thought of this rotten idea.
"Do you think Zhang Mancheng is stupid? There was only one way to Qin Village. If one met a cavalry on the way, everyone would think, "Where did this cavalry come from?" Isn't that the same as telling Zhang Mancheng that those mounted soldiers are coming from the Qin Village? "
Wasn't all the roads blocked? Qin Liang was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
"That won't do. That's also not right. What method do you have?"
Qin Ming raised his head and looked at the endless sky, only to see numerous white clouds slowly drifting about. Without a single white cloud to help protect them from the wind and rain, the vast sky could not tell them anything.
"I've thought of all the ways. There's no other good way."
Wouldn't that mean we've reached a dead end? Qin Liang's hands could not help but hold tightly onto his double knife, he fiercely clenched his teeth, and his face immediately revealed a cold killing intent.
"Then let's kill our way out of the city."
Qin Ming, who was still troubled, glared at Qin Liang fiercely. He knew that he had to use his blade and spear, he almost wanted to kick Qin Liang.
There are two hundred and fifty thousand xanthopanax in the Wan City. Even if they were lined up for you to kill, you wouldn't be able to kill them all within a month. "
He couldn't leave yet, and couldn't go all out either. Now, Qin Liang had no choice but to go all out. Brainpower was not his forte, and it would be difficult for him to think of a way out. He spread his hands helplessly.
"Then what should we do? We can't just stand here and wait to die, right? "
Qin Ming looked at Qin Liang with an abnormally heavy heart. This not only involved the two of them, but also over a thousand of their own people. After hesitating for a while, he could only bitterly smile.
"I don't know what to do either." In July, the Nanyang was scorching hot and the weather was unusually sultry. The trees on both sides of the ancient Nanyang seemed to be sick, their leaves were covered with a layer of dust, the edges of the leaves had already been rolled up. The sky was blue and the sun was hanging like a fireball. The clouds seemed to have been roasted by the sun and disappeared without a trace. He looked up at the sky, his eyes blue.
A group of more than a thousand Cavalry s ran over from the north. With the blazing sun above their heads, they quickly galloped on the public road. The sound of rapid hoof steps could be heard, shocking the hundreds of bugs in the fields on both sides of the road.
Suddenly, a few cavalrymen from the exorcism s ran over and raised their spears up high. It seemed like there was some kind of important military intelligence. The leading officer also raised the spear in his hand, as the entire Cavalry began to slow down. After a while, the scout ran over and shouted at the leader while gasping for breath.
"Reporting up ahead, we have discovered a large number of xanthopanax. There are about three ten thousand people s and they are robbing the nearby villages for food."
Seeing the exorcism coming over, the two leading generals restrained the horse reins, slowed down, and finally stopped. After listening to exorcism's words, he couldn't help but frown and ponder for a moment as he looked at exorcism.
"Have you found master's Cavalry?"
The exorcism had just caught his breath, and his breathing had not stabilized yet. Hearing the general's question, he hurriedly shook his head.
"Reporting in, I heard the commoners said that the Imperial army retreated to the Lu Yang, but the Lord's cavalry was not with the Imperial army, and we did not find a large number of cavalry in the Nanyang."
"Oh …"
The two generals' eyes widened in shock. After hesitating for a while, they seemed to be pondering about something. Impossible, why did the thirty thousand cavalry soldiers suddenly disappear? This was not just thirty thousand infantry, it was not an easy task to ambush them.
"Where can big brother go?"
The two generals who led the group were Zhao Yun and Cang Ba. They escorted Qingzhou's yellow cloth captive to the Leroy County and everything went smoothly, after handing the captives over to Zheng Ping and Cang Jie, they hurried towards the Henan Province. When they rushed to Ying Chuan, they found out that their big brother had been appointed by the imperial government as Liaodong Taishang and had led his troops there, they were extremely happy. He immediately brought the thousand odd cavalrymen to the Nanyang.
"Big brother Zhao Yun, is our big brother hiding? Nanyang had the Fuyoshan as his back, let alone thirty thousand cavalrymen, even if it were a hundred thousand cavalrymen, they would still be able to hide from us. "
Cang Ba was a little more cautious, and immediately reminded Zhao Yun. Cang Ba who was growing in the mountains knew very well that if he wanted to hide in the mountains, it was very easy for the tens of thousands of cavalrymen to do so. As long as his big brother was willing, the thirty thousand cavalrymen could disappear without a trace.
"That's impossible, just with Nanyang's two hundred thousand xanthopanax s, how could we let the Lord hide in the mountains? Even if we are unable to win in a short period of time, we can still travel around the vicinity and there is no need to hide in the mountains. "
"Big Brother Zhao Yun, Big Brother must have some arrangements."
"It's possible."
Zhao Yun nodded. He knew clearly in his heart that it was impossible for his big brother to hide based on Nanyang Yellow Scarf Army. Since he was hiding, he must have a purpose. Then, what should he do?
"We're also hiding?"
"Where are we hiding?"
"Wait, big brother must be hiding because he doesn't want to reveal his strength. If we come out right now, xanthopanax will think that we only have a thousand or so people and might be able to help Big Brother out. "
"It's possible."
Zhao Yun and Cang Ba's tightly knitted eyebrows slowly relaxed. They believed in their own judgement, hence they firmly nodded their heads and gave the order to the generals beside them.
"No matter what happens, we have to attack the xanthopanax. We can't let them ruin the people. Send the order down, increase your speed and ambush xanthopanax. "
"Giddy …"
Following the shouts from the cavalrymen, all the war horses swung their hooves, raising a cloud of dust into the sky. The entire troop of cavalrymen stirred up bursts of violent winds and flew towards xanthopanax, who was robbed.
The reason why he had come to the north of the Wan City to operate was not only to steal, but also to watch over the Imperial army. Along the way, they passed through like locusts, looting all the villages along the way.
Zhao Hong was also a very cautious person. While robbing, he had even sent the exorcism tens of kilometers away. But he was mainly afraid of Imperial army, and exorcism was also sending him there. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that a large troop of cavalry would descend from the sky.
When the xanthopanax saw the large troop of cavalry, he immediately ran back to report to Zhao Hong in fright. However, the cavalry was still way too fast, almost immediately following Zhao Hong's exorcism, before Zhao Hong could retreat, a large group of cavalry had caught up.
Fortunately, Zhang Mancheng was on guard against the cavalrymen, and when the troops set out, Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves had already brought his spear and bow, which were effective weapons used by the infantry against the cavalry. However, it was only for defense. If he wanted to attack the cavalry, he would have to do so.
When he heard that over a thousand cavalrymen had arrived, Zhao Hong, who was leading the troops, did not panic. He quickly dispatched exorcism to the Wan City to inform Zhang Mancheng, and quickly organized the Lance Soldier and the Lance Soldier to form a dense formation, surrounding the large group of xanthopanax and protecting the large group of xanthopanax to retreat.
Just as he finished arranging the Long Spear Array, Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves felt the ground shake. At the far end of the wilderness, he could see a faint black shadow rolling forward.
As the ground shook more and more violently, the black shadow became more and more clear. The horde of cavalrymen seemed to break through the earth as they lined up densely into a long line, aggressively swarming over. The incoming Armoured Cavalry was like a storm that contained a myriad of thunderbolts. Everywhere the iron hooves passed, bits and pieces of broken branches and fallen leaves splashed into the air. Along with billowing dust, they shot straight up to the nine heavens.
"Oh my god, it's a cavalry unit!"
Facing the large troop of cavalrymen who were rushing over and looking at the magnificent sight of the galloping horses, Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves opened his eyes wide in fear. The hands that held onto the pike trembled and the arms that pulled on the bowstring also weakened.
These xanthopanax were all soldiers from the south. They had never seen such a large number of warhorses before.
Zhao Hong started to feel cowardly, and started to panic in his heart. Panic spread quickly among the soldiers of the xanthopanax like an infectious disease.
Zhao Yun and Cang Ba raised their trident spears and galloped frantically on their horses. Over a thousand cavalry of Youzhou riders followed closely behind him, and the scattered charging array formation was like a wave that came from the ocean, but also like a flowing river, sweeping towards the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves.
"Kill …"
Following Zhao Yun and Cang Ba's loud yells, the over a thousand Steel Cavalry members let out deafening roars, like thunder. Thousands of metal hooves raised a burst of grey soil, a thousand over longbows mounted on Arrows s, and pounced towards xanthopanax's Long Spear Array.
Zhao Yun, Cang Ba are not a reckless person, he knows that this cavalry is big brother's treasure, facing xanthopanax, he is not stupid enough to forcefully charge forward. He didn't know if it would break, but it was definitely not a small number of casualties, so he couldn't take such a loss.
Truthfully speaking, the weapons which the nomadic peoples used to rule the world were only used by war horses, cavalry and bows and arrows. To kill a large number of enemies, one would have to rely on speed and Arrows. To the light cavalry, charging into battle was no different from committing suicide.
Even Zhao Hong was wondering why the cavalry soldiers did not raise their weapons and spears, but instead only held their bows and arrows in their hands. Before he could even react, waves of archery rain had already descended from the sky. The Arrows was emitting a dazzling aura, and a cold killing intent poured out from the vast field.
"Puff puff puff …"
The soldiers of the xanthopanax did not have the equipment of the Imperial army, and the majority of them did not even have the equipment of leather armour s. The Arrows s that filled the sky stabbed into their bodies. Accompanied by miserable screams and wails, those pitiful Lance Soldier s fell down in rows.
"Release the arrows, release the arrows …"
Zhao Hong hysterically shouted as he ordered his archer to retaliate. Immediately, rows and rows of Arrows s shot out from the formation, and those cavalry soldiers who were too far in front were shot down from their horses.
However, most of the cavalrymen were just passing by the Long Spear Array of xanthopanax, rushing up and shooting one or two arrows, and after turning half a circle in front of the Long Spear Array, they ran towards the side.
Seeing that the riders had gathered again, Zhao Hong finally understood that this was the next time they were preparing for a charge. He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. If they were allowed to continue charging like this, his thirty thousand men would be slaughtered by them in a few rounds.
"archer, prepare to shoot."
