Chapter 384 – Black Cloud Pressure City

When that weng sound appeared in Murong Yuanlai’s mind, the battle had already ended.

But the terrifying thing about Murong Yuanlai was that his entire body was no longer his flesh, but a magical equipment. Thus, after that humming sound, his skull was opened. Both sides of his head seemed to have opened up a window at the same time. Then, two sound waves that could be seen with the naked eye came out from within.

Murong Yuanlai immediately retreated, with blood flowing from his seven orifices.

An Zheng attempted to give chase, but there were another large group of Youguo people coming from afar. A dozen or so Spirit Demon beasts pulled their chariots and rushed over, the Spirit Demon cultivators in the chariots started to attack An Zheng. Murong Yuanlai stumbled and ran in front, while An Zheng chased closely behind.

Seven to eight rune boosted heavy crossbow bolts shot towards An Zheng. An Zheng charged forward as he slashed through the heavy crossbow arrows. The heavy crossbow’s strength was already terrifying. With the support of runes, its strength was equivalent teak Sumeru Stage cultivator’s full force attack. Normally, An Zheng would naturally not even bother with it, but he was indeed close to exhaustion right now.

The two chariots in front crossed over to stop An Zheng, who rushed forward with his Holy Fish Scale.

Boom!

He crashed into the two chariots likumanoid tank. As the chariots toppled over, the Broken Army Sword swung its sword continuously, slaying all of the hidden troops that fell off the chariots. More and more troops began to gather over here, because the hidden troops outside the city came faster than the Yan Army in Chang Deng City. The army of hidden soldiers around An Zheng increased in number. When he charged forward, the corpses beside him practically formed two short walls.

Hundreds and hundreds of hidden army archers lined up in front of them in a formation, and then shot towards An Zheng likorrential rain. An Zheng charged into the midst of the archers like a fierce tiger. The Broken Army Sword swept across and the sword qi that was a few meters long cut through the waist of dozens of people.

But at this time, Murong Yuanlai had already been caught on the chariot and was fleeing into the distance.

The enemies around An Zheng increased in number, to the point where he did not even need to aim and attack anyone else.

Just at this time, a group of light cavalry troops rushed out of Chang Deng City, led by the general who was the one who was saved by An Zheng not long ago. This man, who had joined the army for twenty years, had brought two thousand light riders with him to attack again. From afar, it looked as if a sandstorm had swept over.

“Shoot!”

Xie Jiuqun gave the order, and the frontmost row of light cavalry soldiers pulled the trigger at the same time. Their crossbows began to fire as a large wave of crossbow bolts swept across the area in front of them. Within the range of the crossbow arrows, the soldiers of the hidden army were like wheat that had been put down by a sickle, falling down one level in a row. As soon as the two sides came into contact with each other, the front line of the hidden troops was immediately reduced.

“Arrow formation!” Arrow formation! ”

The You Army’s general shouted out hoarsely, but An Zheng’s attack on the Hidden Army’s archers had left them in a mess, how could they possibly form an effective arrow formation to stop the Light Cavalry’s attack in an instant? As Xie Jiuquan pointed forward, the two thousand light cavalry soldiers split into two teams like two sharp blades, cutting off another layer on both flanks.

The strength of the light cavalry was due to their traveling speed. Previously, when they had no choice but to charge into the enemy ranks in order to protect Chang Chen, they had no choice but to do so. Now on the plains, the light cavalry was at its peak.

The two cavalrymen circled back and forth. Under the double slaughter of the crossbow arrows and the javelins, the Shadow Army quickly collapsed.

“Team, cut!”

Following Xie Jiuqun’s order, the messenger blew the horn. The cavalry of two thousand men once again moved into formation, a hundred men in a line, advancing head to head. There was a distance of more than ten meters between each squad, it was as if a huge rake was slicing through the hidden troops. The hidden troops that couldn’t form a tight formation were powerless in front of the light cavalry.

“Change the sabre!”

Xie Jiuque gave the order, and the horn sounded. All the light cavalry soldiers signaled with their crossbows and called for their long sabers to be pulled out. Under the speed of the war horses, there was no need foerson to exert any strength. A knife would cause a huge amount of damage to the enemy’s body. If he had used just a little more strength, he could have easily split the enemy’s head apart. The group formed by the light cavalry was the rake teeth, and the rest of the soldiers could only run for their lives.

Once the infantry began to flee, leaving their backs to the enemy cavalry, they would be very close to the Death Knights. No matter how fast the ordinary soldiers ran, they wouldn’t be faster than the cavalry soldiers. The light cavalry of the Yan Army chased after them from behind. One by one, they chopped down the soldiers of the hidden army that were running for their lives. The knife cut down from the shoulder all the way to the back of the waist. A wound that was tens of centimeters long would causerson to lose the ability to fight instantly.

In this era where medicine was lacking, such wounds were fatal. Even if they had luckily survived at that time, they would have died very soon from the infection.

The warhorses rode on the bloody water, and in less than half an hour, they had defeated several thousand of the Shadow Army soldiers. At least two thousand of the hidden troops were killed by the light cavalry. The remaining soldiers of the hidden army chose to commit suicide while the remaining chose to surrender. However, surrender would not be forgiven in both the Youlan and Youlan countries. The hatred between the two countries was too great, it was so heavy that it wouldn’t stop until one side died. The light cavalry soldiers used the enemies that were kneeling and begging for mercy as targets, and after a short while, they were completely slaughtered.

“Prince Fu, let’s return to the city!”

Xie Jiuque pulled An Zheng and pulled him onto the horse’s back.

It was only then that An Zheng noticed that the horse Xie Jiuque was riding did not even have a saddle. Seemingly sensing An Zheng’s doubt, Xie Jiuque said somewhat proudly, “Although having a saddle is stable, there are many movements that cannot be done, and they are not flexible. And the light cavalry wants speed, so the weight loss is our goal. Look at our soldiers! ”

He pointed with his finger and An Zheng followed his finger. Only now did he realise that all the light cavalry soldiers were only wearing thin clothes, not even the most basic of cotton armors. Some of the soldiers had a wooden board fixed to their chest and back so that they could be considered as protective gear. Most of them didn’t even bring such protective gear.

This was the light cavalry of the Yan Army, which placed their pursuit of speed at the top of their priority list.

An Zheng sat on the back of the war horse, feeling extremely uncomfortable. An Zheng had never liked riding horses, and he was even a little afraid. Many people had this inexplicable fear towards one thing or another, and the other reason why An Zheng wasn’t willing to ride the horse was … Some places are bigger.

The light cavalry brandished their sabers and cheered as they returned. The reinforcements from Quiet And Steadfast simply gave up on chasing because they couldn’t catch up to them either.

Xie Jiuou brought An Zheng and sprinted backwards. An Zheng felt that there was a loathsome fellow kicking his butt and the Eggy in front of it time after time. However, he wasn’t willing to show it, so he could only endure.

Xie Jiuque said, “The strongest branch of the Yan Army is obviously the heavy cavalry commanded by General Fang Zhiji himself. But if we are going to give the enemy a headache, it would be us, the light riders. Heavy Cavalry troops are too expensive, and equipped with only one heavy cavalry soldier is enough for us to equiundred light cavalry soldiers. ”

An Zheng was slightly taken aback: “So much difference?”

Xie Jiu hooked up, “Heavy Cavalry’s collision gear is made of special materials. Our State of Yan doesn’t have many Symbol Masters, so we can only rely on materials to supplement it. Heavy cavalry, also known as armored cavalry. The war horses had to be carefully selected, one in a hundred. This was because an ordinary warhorse, carrying more than two hundred Jin of cavalry, plus its own hundred jin collision device and thick armor would not be able to run. The armor of the warhorse was so thick that even the blade of a blade could not penetrate it. Therefore, our Heavy Cavalry, being able to maintain so many of them, is already our limit.

“We light cavalry is different!”

Xie Jiuque proudly said, “Although our equipment is simple, we should have our own advantages. Unless we are facing off against the heavy armoured infantry of the hidden troops, we have nothing to be afraid of. ”

Because Youguo did not have many warhorses, in order to fight against the light cavalry of the Yan Army, he created a terrifying heavy armoured infantry unit.

The two of them spoke as they sped back to Chang Deng City. An Zheng saw that no one was paying attention to him and couldn’t help but to rub his crotch. He asked where Chang Huan was and got the answer that General Chang was injured and was currently receiving treatment.

An Zheng climbed up the city wall and saw Huo Tangtang healing Chang Huan. An Zheng took out a few pellets from the Blood Pearl Bracelet and gave it to him. He looked outside at the dark army camp: “I still don’t know how long this battle will last.”

Chang Huan endured the pain and said: “It means that the enemy is about to collapse, maybe the Great General’s army already reached the bottom of Beiping City. The Youguo attempted to gather the last of their troops to surround the Great General’s retreat, forming a circle. And if we stop here, the enemy’s army won’t be able to get through. “Hold on, just hold on for as long as you can.”

An Zheng acknowledged, “Has the general replied yet?”

Chang Huan nodded, “He said... Let you think of a way yourself. ”

An Zheng frowned slightly: “You want me to think of a way myself?!”

Chang Huan said with some difficulty: “I told you before, no one can change Fang Zhiji’s decision. If he did not break into Beiping City, he would never come back. If he said he wouldn’t split up, he definitely wouldn’t split up. Otherwise, I’ll send 10,000 troops from Chang Deng City for you to take back. ”

An Zheng shook his head: “No, Chang Xian already doesn’t have enough manpower. I will bring another ten thousand people away, and you guys won’t even be able to last three days.”

He thought for a moment and said: “No matter what, I have to go see Fang Zhiji. I will leave the hundred scouts I brought with me for you, so I will protect you until tomorrow morning before you have to leave. The time for danger has already come for our country, and even Swallow King has arrived at Fringe City to personally defend our city. I must convince Fang Zhiji! ”

Chang Huan sighed: “Hopefully, but I don’t think you have any chances.”

An Zheng calculated that by tomorrow morning, the Heaven Defying Seal would be able to teleport again. At that time, it would be able to teleport directly to outside Beiping City, a lot faster than travelling through the night. It would be better to stay and help defend the city until morning.

“Sir, bring him down to rest. I’m on duty tonight.”

An Zheng looked at Huo Tangtang and said a sentence.

Then, he supported Chang Huan up as he turned around and descended into the city.

An Zheng looked at the hidden army camp outside, thinking about what Fang Zhiji was planning to do, and why he wanted to break through Bei Ping.
