The fierce battle on the battlefield had already reached its climax. Both sides had suffered tens of thousands of casualties. At this time, no matter which side relaxed their momentum first, they would be in danger of entering an irreparable situation. Tang Yin's eyes flashed as he tilted his head and said: "Send the signal for the light cavalry to move, to attack the central troops of the Ning Army at full strength!"
"Yes!" "My Lord!" After waiting for Tang Yin's order for a long time, the guard behind him anxiously replied and then passed Tang Yin's order down.
When the standard-bearer in charge of the flag heard the order, he immediately shook his Flag. This was also the signal to attack.
The Shadow Clone and Tang Yin's minds were linked, so of course he did not need to look at the signal, but on the other side, Shangguan Yuanyang did not know when Tang Yin would choose to attack. Seeing the Flag s on his side swaying back and forth, the already impatient Shangguan Yuan immediately perked up, he immediately jumped onto his horse and ordered the surrounding riders to prepare for battle.
These five thousand riders were all hiding behind a mound on the east side of the battlefield. At this time, the soldiers all mounted their horses and followed Shangguan Yuan as they circled around the mound. At the same time, Shadow Clone also led five thousand light cavalry soldiers to attack from the west side. These two light cavalry soldiers were like two knives on the battlefield, stabbing right and left through the flank of the Ning army.
The soldiers of the Ning Army were not blind either. As soon as the two cavalry soldiers came out, Ning Jun saw them and hurriedly ran towards Zhan Wushuang who was in the middle of the camp. When he got close, he knelt on one knee and cupped his hands together.
"Huh?" Zhan Wushuang's body trembled, he subconsciously stood up with a deep neck, and looked around. Even though the other side was far away and they didn't have any flags, the dust and dirt that the cavalry had swept up as they sped through the air was very high, as if two tornadoes were blowing towards them.
Zhan Wushuang was truly a handsome man who was good at leading soldiers, he was shocked at first but quickly calmed down after that. From the scale of the dust, he immediately determined that the two riders were not many, around five or six thousand riders. He calmly replied, lowering his head and shouting: "Set up the entire army's formation, use the formation of arrows to suppress the enemy cavalry charge!"
"Yes!" "General!" At his command, the two regimental commanders on the left and right cupped their hands in salute and urged their warhorses to run back to their respective battalions with haste. They ordered their men to lead the troops to the front, and all of them nocked their arrows and prepared to fire at the same time.
Following the command of the regimental commander, the panic of the soldiers below immediately stabilized. Everyone turned around and faced the incoming cavalry, and then they took down their bows and arrows, nocked their bows, tightened their bowstrings, and aimed at the enemy in unison, preparing to shoot.
The enemy cavalry was astonishingly fast, and the commanders of the two legions had never seen such a powerful cavalry force before. Thus, they were able to run as fast as lightning.
The two Company Leaders were very far apart, upon seeing the cavalry soldiers charging towards them, they both swallowed their saliva, raised their swords high into the air, and shouted at the same time: "Release the arrows!" Following the shout, the sword that was held high in the air came crashing down, pointing straight ahead.
Weng! *
Two groups, twenty thousand people shot out simultaneously. Two Arrow Rain rose up above Fang Yuan's head like dark clouds, and flew towards the two Cavalry s.
Tang Yin was very clear on the power of Ning Jun Wu Yi's arrow formation. Seeing the Arrow Rain s attack, he increased his speed and shouted: "All of you, get on the ground and advance forward at full speed!"
At the same time, they clambered down on the back of the horses, and at the same time, they clamped their legs together and jumped off the horses' bellies, causing them to feel pain and allowing them to use their full strength when running.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. In the blink of an eye, the formation of arrows approached them. The arrows were as dense as raindrops, whistling past everyone's heads.
The arrows flew through the air in a parabolic fashion, descending in an arc. However, the speed of the horses in Mo Country was too fast, causing the arrow formation to lose its target, as the cavaliers continued to fly under the formation. Although some of the arrows still affected the cavalrymen, most of the arrows were shot into the air.
Ah!" Seeing this, the face of the commander of the Ning Army changed. Seeing the enemy cavalry getting closer and closer, he quickly ordered again, "Release the arrows! Continue shooting! Do not stop!
Without even needing to receive orders from the leader, the Ning Soldier s had already begun drawing out their second arrows, and were rapidly shooting towards the cavalrymen in front.
Just like the first wave of arrows, the cavalry army moved swiftly through the bottom part of the arrow formation. The arrow formation only injured the end of the Cavalry but not the main force.
Damn it! How could the speed of this cavalry be so fast, it was even faster than the speed of Cavalry of Mo Country! Ning Jun's legion commander did not understand what was going on, and did not have the time to ponder over it. At this point, his heart was already in his throat as he continuously ordered his soldiers to shoot, shoot, and shoot.
When Ning Jun's array of arrows reached the fourth round, the cavalry soldiers were only twenty steps away from Ning Jun's array. At such a close distance, there was no need to shoot anymore.
Pu, Pu, Pu!
As Ning Jun's arrows flew towards them, a muffled sound of arrows piercing through flesh could be heard from the cavalry camp. At the same time, miserable cries rang out and the cavalry soldiers in the front fell with their horses and horses.
However, at such a close distance, it was impossible to stop the cavalry charge by relying solely on their arrow formations, furthermore, Tang Yin's clone had already blocked the arrow formations and arrived in front of them.
The war horse he was mounted on had already been shot like a hedgehog by Ning Jun Wu Yi's arrows, but he still crawled out through the gaps in the arrow formation, and rushed to the front of Ning Army Camp. Both of his hands had turned into swords that were attached to the Fire of Darkness, and as he waved his hands, the four Ning Soldier s in front of him all had their throats cut off, and they fell onto the ground without making a sound. The surrounding Ning Soldier were all shocked, they all put down the bow and arrow in their hands, either pulling out their swords or holding onto the pikes of their pikes, they all rushed forward to attack Tang Yin.
As the Shadow Clone was not a real person and the body was not a physical body, it was formed from the condensation of dark energy, its movements and techniques were even more nimble and incisive than Tang Yin's real body. With a dull thud, the three Ning soldiers were kicked in the chest, and they were sent flying back with miserable shrieks. Borrowing the rebounding force, their bodies flipped in the air, and they fell back into the crowd. The moment their bodies hit the ground, the two blades flew out, and the four Ning soldiers' heads flew out from the crowd. Before the surrounding people could react, its body leaped up once again, jumping over the heads of the Ning soldiers, landing in the depths of the enemy camp. Using its falling momentum, it stabbed down fiercely with its two blades, and with a 'pu' sound, the blades in its two hands stabbed into the chest of a thousand-man commander. The clone gave a low roar and used all his strength to raise both his arms. With a cracking sound, the Captain's body was torn apart from the middle. The two bodies flew left and right and crashed into the crowd.
The ruthlessness and viciousness of the Shadow Clone caused all the surrounding soldiers to be shocked and frightened. People could not help but keep on retreating. The doppelganger did not care whether the opponent was afraid of him or not. What it wanted to do now was to kill as many enemies as possible, to disrupt the army and create an opportunity for the cavalry.
Just as the clone started his slaughter in the Ning Army Camp, following a strange cry, the leader of the regiment charged forward. The General of Ning Country was dressed in white spirit armor, holding onto a handful of Crescent Knife, he ran out of the group and rushed to the front of the Shadow Clone. Without a word, he crouched down.
The Shadow Clone did not even manage to dodge. Standing where it was, it could only watch as the Spiritual Knife stabbed at it and then pierced through its own chest. However, just as its opponent revealed an expression of joy, thinking that it had won in a single strike, it suddenly raised its hand and swept its blade fiercely towards the General of Ning Country.
This blade was too fast, and too sudden. The General of Ning Country didn't even have time to react, her temple had already been solidly swept by the hand blade.
Ka-cha! *
The spirit armor on top of General of Ning Country's head shattered, half of her head fell off, blood and brain matter sprayed all over the ground, only half of her body swayed back and forth on the warhorse, then she rolled down.
Shadow Clone looked at the corpse on the ground, grabbed the Crescent Knife blade that was stabbed into his chest and forcibly pulled it out of his chest. There was no blood flowing out of it, only a long scar on its chest. As it absorbed the spirit energy released by the General of Ning Country, the scar on its chest started to heal as well, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
It exchanged blows with the General of Ning Country, but in the end, the General of Ning Country lost half of her head and died on the spot. The strangeness of the Shadow Clone caused every single one of the Ning army present to be shocked, turning pale with fright. No one dared to move forward, and all of them simultaneously retreated.
From afar, it looked like the world of archers and archers, the cavalry would only be able to take a beating and would not be able to retaliate at all. However, when the cavalry had reached them, its immense might was immediately displayed. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry soldiers of the Ning Army opened up a huge gap for them. With the help of their horses' strength, they could easily pierce through two or three of the soldiers' bodies with a single thrust of their spears. At the same time, they were also able to assassinate the enemies.
Not only did the former save effort, but they also dealt with the enemy's vital points. The latter, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. This was also the difference between infantry and cavalry in close combat.
When the cavalry charged forward, the soldiers couldn't hold on any longer. Other than the soldiers who were cut down and wounded, everyone was screaming as they retreated backwards.
