Chapter 61: The Renegade Cavalry
several years, who knows what might happen in the imperial city Besides, with the crown prince not yet appointed and the Emperor of Great Qin growing older, if we went to Flying Dragon City, by the ti..."Charge, cavalry!!"
The figure appearing behind the fallen scout, although still some distance away, could be identified from its attire as an enemy spy!
"Sir!"
Seeing the enemy appear, some soldiers couldn't help but look at Yuan Li, but Yuan Li remained completely motionless.
All of the Cretan cavalry were light cavalry. Although their defenses were weak, their mobility was extremely high, especially in this kind of barren land where it was almost flat ground. This made the Cretan cavalry even more swift and elusive!
To avoid being devoured by the enemy cavalry, under the circumstance of insufficient cavalry strength, the only option is to play it safe and steady.
"Oh, oh..."
Over there, seeing that the large army of the Great Qin Dynasty didn't advance, those few Qiang cavalrymen were actually waving their weapons and shouting there, the provocation was very obvious!
Not to mention that the soldiers were extremely angry, even Yuan Li clenched his fists. However, as the commander, he had to endure it.
Seeing that their provocation still failed to elicit any response from the Great Qin army across the way, these few mounted raiders actually rode forward and came to the fallen scouts who were shot with arrows.
“Ah…”
Screams erupted as a living scout was unearthed. This seemed to further excite the nearby Spiky Riders, who roared with glee and produced several ropes with which they bound the injured scout's hands and feet.
This is……
This is to have that scout alive and dismembered by five horses!!!
The actions of the Qiang cavalry enraged Yuan Li's soldiers, who demanded to be sent into battle. However, Yuan Li remained steadfast in his refusal to order an attack, even though anger flushed his eyes red.
As the commander, one must not act on impulse!
But as soldiers, they rely on their passion!
Their own brothers, comrades, if they die in battle they won't say anything. But if they are tortured to death by the enemy, they can't stand it.
As those soldiers were beginning to show signs of mutiny because of the provocation from the cavalry, a figure suddenly dashed across the ranks, alone on horseback!
As soon as the figure appeared, both sides were taken aback.
"Sir!"
Yuan Li was also startled. After seeing the figure, he wanted to rush forward, but he forcefully pressed himself down, only able to shout anxiously from behind.
"No worries, I'll go and say hi to them first!"
Having soothed Yuanli with a word, Zhang Liyang had already ridden his horse to the front of the several soldiers who were harassing Lai.
Whoosh, whoosh!
However, what greeted Zhang Liyang were several sharp arrows.
The sharp arrow pierced the air, heading straight for Zhang Liyang's vital point.
Slap!
With a light tap on the warhorse's back, Zhang Liyang soared into the air. His palms moved like flying butterflies, creating streaks of phantoms as he accurately shattered every arrow aimed at him.
At the same time, a person also flew over and arrived beside these spiky cavalrymen!
"Expert! Kill!"
Seeing Zhang Liyang attacking, the faces of these several spear-wielding cavalrymen changed, and they simultaneously drew their swords from their waists.
Now that they've turned their steeds, the only thing protecting them from Zhang Liyang would be their backs. So these mounted warriors of the Zhai clan charged head-on without hesitation.
"Kill!"
All the scouts were elite soldiers, though there were only six or seven of them, their aura was overwhelmingly powerful. Even Zhang Liyang, a master swordsman himself, charged forward with a ferocious expression, brandishing his blade!
Shua~!
The warblade gleamed like a polished steel blade, descending in a straight and powerful arc. The howling wind seemed to pause for a fleeting moment under the force of this attack, demonstrating the astonishing skill of this cavalry soldier's thrust.
This level of threat is extremely dangerous for other ordinary soldiers, but to Zhang Liyang, it's like a gentle breeze, posing no threat whatsoever.
Bang, bang!
With a hand reaching out like a slap against a just-fired arrow, Zhang Liyang parried every blade aimed at him.
Zhang Liyang's strength wasn't great, and when his war knife swatted away the thrusts of these mounted soldiers, their arms only trembled. However, they still gripped the hilts of their swords tightly. Then, with a slight tremor in their bodies, they dispersed that force through the mounts beneath them. Meanwhile, their swords, taking advantage of the momentum, slashed again.
Looking at the battle sword slashing again, Zhang Liyang's face was solemn.
It wasn't that the Ci Lai cavalry were too strong for Zhang Liyang to handle, but their reactions and counterattacks made Zhang Liyang see the difference between the soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Ci Lai.
Though Zhang Liyang had never served in the army, he had dealings with the soldiers of the Yanshi Camp. However, Zhang Liyang still has three hundred elite soldiers from the Yanshi Camp at his side.
Could these stubborn cavalrymen overcome the elite soldiers of those impregnable fortresses
Can't beat it!
But don't forget, the soldiers of the Panshi Camp are the elite of the entire Great Qin Dynasty, and are the cavalrymen in front of them the elite of the entire Cí Lài
Impossible!
If the entirety of the Asrai cavalry's elite were here, it would mean that Asrai was launching a full-scale assault on Dragonfly City, rather than just having a thousand men idly wandering about.
After several skirmishes with these barbarian cavalry, Zhang Liyang had a good grasp of their strength. With lightning-fast reflexes, he unleashed his palm strikes, each one aimed at the chests of the barbarian cavalrymen.
"Sir!"
At this moment, Yuan Li arrived beside Zhang Liyang and also looked at those Assassin Rider soldiers who had died because their breastbones were shattered.
What do you think
"Elite!"
Yuan Li had never fought against Ci Lai before, and this was his first encounter with Ci Lai's cavalry. Therefore, a look of seriousness appeared in Yuan Li's eyes.
Everyone says that the thorn bandit in the northwest is the great enemy of the Great Qin Dynasty, and every year the court allocates a lot of resources to the northwest border. At that time, Yuan Li was also inwardly dissatisfied. Why can the northwest border receive so many resources, almost catching up with them, the elite soldiers all over the country
Only after seeing it with his own eyes did Yuan Li truly understand that a terrifyingly powerful behemoth lurked on the northwestern border of the dynasty!
Hearing Yuan Li's words, Zhang Liyang turned his head to look at the approaching troops. Although these soldiers were also elite members of the border defense force, compared to the Lancer cavalry, they still had some shortcomings.
No wonder even General He Houde, a seasoned border commander, would be hesitant in the face of this situation.
"Sir," Yuan Li bowed to Zhang Liyang. "To devour this lance cavalry, I'm afraid our own casualties would be quite severe."
This sentence is still being said in a positive way by Yuanli. If the battle goes badly at that time, then who will eat whom is really uncertain.
"I understand," Zhang Liyang took a deep breath, his eyes looking at the number 7 that had just appeared under the virtual system mission. His eyes narrowed slightly, "So we can't confront them head-on, we need to find another way."
What can I do
Yuan Li has also been thinking about this problem. After all, the enemies on the other side are almost entirely cavalry, while they are mostly infantry. To win this war will be difficult!arhorses grazing in the field, Zhang Liyang's heart was filled with excitement. His eyes seemed to see a future day, where thousands upon thousands of warhorses galloped across the grasslands!"Will th...
