Chapter 68: Great Defeat of Morale

ense.Fortunately, whether it was Xiao He or Zhang Liang, they both seemed comfortable with this approach.Bang, bang, bang!One punch after another, Xiao Heshan's punches were like the wind. Each time a..."Master, when shall we wipe out those troublesome mounted knights"

A small icy river, with broken ice floating on its surface, still flowed clear water underneath. At this moment, Zhang Liyang was squatting by the riverbank, washing his hands.

The once clear river was now visibly stained red.

"Not yet." Looking at Yuan Li who was getting anxious beside him, Zhang Liyang slowly shook his head. "If we push them too hard, with their current strength they could still cause us serious harm."

"Then wait a bit longer"

"Hmm." Zhang Liyang glanced at his system mission without a trace, the number on it jumping rapidly in these few days, almost reaching 500.

Zhang Liyang wanted to increase the number to a thousand, but Zhang Liyang himself understood that it would take a lot of time to achieve this, and the other party was not a fool. Since he had single-handedly killed almost half of their people, the other party would definitely run away.

Therefore, Zhang Liyang planned to end this war once the number reached five hundred.

"First, send out scouts to investigate the surrounding area and see if they have any reinforcements."

"At the same time, send those extra horses to the infantry so they can get familiar with them these few days."

"Okay."

Although a decisive battle couldn't be fought immediately, Zhang Liyang's meaning was very clear: the time for the decisive battle wouldn't be too long. This filled Yuan Li with excitement and he quickly left to carry out Zhang Liyang's orders.

These days can be said to be Yuan Li's most excited and happy days.

Having Zhang Liyang, this super artillery platform, and never-before-experienced guerrilla tactics, Yuan Li's cavalry almost achieved victory in every battle. For a soldier, how could one not be excited

If Yuanli's side is excited, then Tamu's side is silent and suppressed.

In Tamu's big tent, a group of people sat there in silence.

Sometimes people steal glances at the leader's position from time to time, or look around at those around them. As a result, they find that almost everyone is like themselves, and when their eyes meet, they simultaneously understand each other's meaning.

In fact, by now in this war, their only option is to retreat. However, they are reluctant to do so because the general who suggested retreating the day before yesterday likely had his head chopped off and is currently drying out in the cold wind.

As for why Tam cut down that general, everyone knew the reason.

On the surface, it's said to be disrupting morale, but in reality, it's just about saving face.

Under two thousand cavalry, they were beaten and forced to retreat by a single person from the Great Qin Dynasty. It would be laughable to tell this story, and they'd likely never hold their heads high again.

But to live with shame for the rest of your life is better than dying in battle, especially these days. That assassin is like a demon possessed, attacking day and night without any regard for time. Who knows, maybe while you're sleeping, a deadly spear could pierce your chest from above!

Now all the soldiers are jumpy, constantly looking around as they walk, and they don't even dare to sleep!

In this manner, without the enemy attacking them, they would themselves collapse mentally and die.

"Sir!" Finally, someone broke the silence. "The subordinate suggests a general attack on the enemy!"

Originally, when others saw someone step forward, their faces lit up with joy. However, upon hearing that person's words, the joy instantly froze on their faces.

"General attack How to general attack" Before Tamu could speak, someone else objected, "Our enemy is too cunning. If we chase them, we'll just run. We are outnumbered and fighting on horseback. How can we attack!"

"It's better to fight than stay here and wait to die, isn't it"

As I see it, we should send the tribes back to aid in the conflict. I don't believe they could escape with ten thousand cavalry at their heels!

Once the ball was rolling, everyone started talking. We debated back and forth.

Although it doesn't mention withdrawal explicitly, all the arguments are subtly pointing towards that direction!

Just as I said at the beginning, how can you attack if you can't catch up to the enemy What's the difference between requesting reinforcements and retreating now

"Alright!" Mu Ta, whose head was throbbing from the arguing, slammed his fist on the table. This silenced everyone in the tent instantly, and a hush fell over the place once more.

But their eyes no longer looked around haphazardly, they all turned to Tamu.

Their opinions have all been expressed, now it's up to Tamu to make the final decision.

Feeling the gazes of his subordinates, Tamu's hand under the table clenched tightly into a fist. His heart was also in turmoil at this moment.

"Oh no, the killing god is here again!"

"Hurry and hide!"

"Ah!"

Outside the main tent, chaos surged and rose, but those inside remained motionless. They all fixed their eyes intently on Tamu, their meaning clear: "The God of War has arrived again. Either you come up with a plan to counter him, or order a retreat!"

Oh~~~

Taking a deep breath, Tammu finally spoke with slightly bloodshot eyes, "Order, we..."

"Enemy attack!"

"Cavalry attack!!"

Before he could finish his words, a gasp of surprise echoed from outside the big tent, accompanied by a slight tremor in the earth.

Now the people inside the big tent couldn't sit still. Each and every one of them, with eyes full of terror, jumped up and drew their weapons from beside them, rushing outwards while shouting, "Everyone assemble! Archers, prepare to counterattack!"

Perhaps the shouts had attracted the attention of the Grim Reaper, for amidst the chaos and din, a high-pitched whine pierced the ears of these unruly cavalry officers, turning their faces pale in an instant.

Hmm...

grinning

Go from words to action!

With the bloody explosion and a figure falling to the ground, the chaos within the camp of the cavalry was further escalated.

Brothers, follow me!

"Kill!"

Outside the large camp of the Qiang soldiers, Yuan Li rode alone on horseback, wielding his saber with a fierce look on his face.

Following close behind were nearly a thousand cavalrymen, like a surging flood, unstoppable in their overwhelming advance.

The battle flags of the Great Qin Dynasty fluttered in the cold wind, accompanied by the sound of charging horses' hooves, like a simple yet majestic war song that made blood boil and fighting spirit soar!

Although this near thousand cavalrymen had half of them being infantry temporarily converted, not to mention their combat effectiveness, at least in terms of momentum, they still sent chills down one's spine.

And now, the morale has long been broken by Zhang Liyang's ridicule. Facing this sky-shaking charge of cavalry, they have already lost their power to resist!

The central tent was thrown open, and Tamu, with bloodshot eyes, brandished a war knife and roared, "Opposite commander, you cowardly wretch, dare you face me in open combat!!"

The situation is desperate, Tamu must either kill the opponent's general to turn the tide, or die willingly knowing he has done everything he could.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

A loud shout rang out as Zhang Liyang spurred his horse towards Tamu outside the main tent. And Tamu finally saw the enemy general who had led himself and his troops to the abyss of death! exercises.Because Xue Lin Garden was large enough, and Zhang Liyang had specifically instructed that the back garden area was off-limits, so Zhang Liyang's cultivation no longer carried a sense of ap...
