Chapter Sixteen: Three Knives Simultaneously Thrust into the Body

  He hadn't eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run. Moreover, Qin City still had the mark left by this body before, although that mark was not skilled in using long spears, it didn't prevent Qin City from charging towards the Huns' cavalry array with a long spear in his hand, which had been hit by chariots and became somewhat disordered.

  When Qin Cheng and several thousand heavy infantrymen charged out of the shield wall, they were first met with arrows from the Xiongnu cavalry, not many but with a force that was not to be underestimated.

  Qin Cheng had just rushed out a few steps, and the long spear in his hand hadn't even swept to the leg of a Xiongnu war horse when he was shot by a Xiongnu iron arrow in his right chest!

  Almost at full speed, Qin Cheng's body involuntarily paused for a moment. He lowered his head to look at his right chest, and his movements stiffened for an instant. Immediately afterwards, a surprised, delighted, and ruthless smile appeared on Qin Cheng's face. The next moment, his body resumed its previous action, taking three steps as two, rushing to the front of a Xiongnu cavalryman who was already not far away. Before he could react, Qin Cheng's body bent down, and with a horizontal sweep of his spear, he cut off the cavalryman's horse leg!

  The war horse's leg broke, and the cavalry fell off the horse. Qin Cheng aimed at the opponent's landing position, and the long spear in his hand flashed out to strike, cutting into the opponent's chest!

  When he retrieved his long spear, due to using too much force, the enemy's blood splattered all over Qin Cheng. The scorching hot blood splashed onto himself, making Qin Cheng's will to fight even more intense. Without having time to savor the feeling of killing his first enemy in this era, Qin Cheng swung his long spear and charged towards the next Xiongnu cavalryman!

  Like Qin Cheng, all the heavy infantry who rushed out had their thick iron armor blocking the arrows of the Xiongnu people outside their bodies. Even if some arrows penetrated the iron armor, as long as they didn't hit a vital spot or enter through the gaps in the armor, these heavy infantrymen could ignore such injuries and continue to charge towards the scattered Xiongnu cavalry like living dragons!

  The war chariots have already charged into the depths of the Xiongnu cavalry army under the control of Chebing Yu, thoroughly disrupting the Xiongnu cavalry army. The originally dense formation has become scattered, and it is precisely because of this that the heavy infantry can charge out to meet them!

  Behind the heavy infantry, nearly a thousand archers continuously drew their bows and nocked arrows. The icy four-edged iron arrows shot mercilessly towards the Xiongnu cavalry with demands for accuracy!

  The entire battlefield, in the front, chariots charged forward, smoke and dust rose, people and horses overturned; in the middle, heavy infantry fought hand-to-hand with disorganized Xiongnu cavalry, swords and knives flashed, blood and tears flew; at the back, archers drew their bows and shot arrows, iron arrows rained down, defense was futile. Under the scorching sun, the fierce battle raged on.

  At this time, the Han army cavalry originally deployed on the side and rear of the Han army's large formation, after resisting several waves of Xiongnu cavalry attacks, galloped left and right to surround the Xiongnu cavalry in front!

  These thousands of Han military cavalrymen, having been waiting for a long time, had already built up their strength. Now it was finally their turn to go into battle, and one by one they exerted themselves with all their might, beginning a great flanking maneuver at extremely high speed!

  Two cavalry units, like two battle dragons, rushed from the side and rear of the Han army's main formation to the side and rear of the Xiongnu cavalry army!

  Once the encirclement is formed, the Han army will form a pincer movement against the Xiongnu cavalry, and even if they cannot annihilate this group of Xiongnu cavalry, they can still inflict heavy casualties on them!

  That's Li Guang's military command art as a famous general!

  Everything is proceeding in an orderly fashion according to Li Guang's predetermined plan!

  After cutting off the legs of three Xiongnu war horses in a row, the towering Qin City was finally surrounded by five or six Xiongnu cavalrymen nearby.

  A six-foot-long long spear was pulled out from the abdomen of a Xiongnu cavalryman. Qin Cheng's eyes scanned around and immediately understood his situation. He knew that if the encirclement by these five or six Xiongnu cavalrymen took shape, then even with his six-foot-long spear, he would not be able to escape unscathed under their attack, after all, these Xiongnu people were on horseback!

  "Hah!" A loud shout, Qin Cheng suddenly charged towards the nearest Xiongnu cavalryman beside him. Before his warhorse could get close to himself, his long spear swept across in a horizontal motion, cutting off its leg!

  Without sparing the life of his cavalry, Qin Cheng took back his long spear. At this time, a Xiongnu cavalryman had already charged straight from in front of Qin Cheng, and the two sides were only four zhang apart. The Xiongnu soldier on horseback had already raised his long knife high, ready to chop down at Qin Cheng's head!

  "Go!" Qin Cheng shouted again, his long spear transforming into a long gun, thrusting straight out and piercing the throat of this Xiongnu warhorse at an angle. This strike used up all of Qin Cheng's strength, and he actually lifted the front half of the horse off the ground!

  "Bang!"

  With a crisp sound, the long spear in Qin Cheng's hand broke in half due to the immense pressure. Qin Cheng also felt a numbness in his right arm and couldn't exert even half of his strength!

  The Xiongnu war horse had already fallen to the ground, and the Xiongnu soldier on it also fell. Qin Cheng's body suddenly rolled over, rolling to the side and back, barely avoiding a long knife in the hand of a Xiongnu cavalryman who was killing from the side.

  Qin Cheng's fall was just in time, as he rolled right next to another Xiongnu cavalryman's warhorse. The Xiongnu warrior's long knife had already come slashing down from mid-air!

  In a state of urgency, Qin Cheng's left hand drew his sword, using the same technique as drawing a dagger to pull out the long knife. With a smooth motion, he cut off another section of the horse's leg!

  The horse's leg broke, and the body of the warhorse knelt down. The long knife of the Xiongnu soldier on the horse also deviated from its original trajectory and cut into Qin Cheng's left shoulder. Fortunately, the rolling of the warhorse dissipated most of the force of the knife, so Qin Cheng only felt a pain in his left shoulder and was not seriously injured.

  Because of the fall of this war horse, another Xiongnu cavalryman who was close to this Xiongnu cavalryman also fell down, and the Xiongnu soldier on the horse rolled down with the momentum!

  Qin Cheng suddenly pulled four Xiongnu soldiers off their war horses, but in the flash of lightning, these four Xiongnu cavalrymen fell off their horses without suffering any serious injuries. Now they surrounded Qin Cheng, each grasping a long knife!

  Finally, there was a Xiongnu cavalryman who slapped his war horse and wandered outside the encirclement, seemingly looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Qin City!

  It was as if he had returned to the scene of fighting with others on the street years ago. At this moment, Qin City suddenly became calm. Many people surrounded him, and outside the encirclement, there were still people ready to make a sneak attack at any time. Such a situation, Qin City had encountered too many times in his life!

  His right arm finally regained its mobility, and Qin Cheng quietly switched the long knife to his right hand, choosing a direction opposite to that of the Xiongnu cavalryman to break through!

  Qin Cheng was now covered in blood all over his body, and his face could no longer be seen in its original color. Only the black armor shone with a faint, ominous chill under the scorching sun.

  When Qin Cheng ran to the front right of the Xiongnu soldier, this Xiongnu soldier reacted extremely quickly, grasping his long knife with both hands and slashing over from the right side. Because the speed was too fast, Qin Cheng's eyes were about to be unable to block this knife.

  Just as the Huns' long knife was about to touch Qin Cheng's neck, his upper body suddenly leaned back, while his legs continued to move forward. After avoiding the Hun soldier's knife, Qin Cheng's body had already formed a 60-70 degree angle with the ground! At this time, his originally falling body, due to Qin Cheng's rotation, changed from facing the sky to facing the earth, and the long knife in his hand inserted into the abdomen of the Hun soldier. He brushed past the Hun cavalryman!

  The thrilling hand-to-hand combat did not affect Qin Cheng's speed. He drew out his long knife and turned around to dash towards the next Xiongnu soldier!

  This is also Qin Cheng's calculation. If he were to be surrounded by these Huns soldiers, the Huns cavalry outside could shoot and kill him with arrows. And if he were to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy, he would have to face four long knives at the same time! So Qin Cheng chose this way of killing two birds with one stone!

  "Pfft!"

  When the long knife in Qin Cheng's hand cut off the third Xiongnu soldier's head, the remaining Xiongnu soldier did not collide with Qin Cheng, but frantically waved his long knife to protect himself, making it impossible for Qin Cheng to get close for a while!

  Suddenly, Qin Cheng realized something was wrong. As he turned his head to look, an iron arrow had already been nocked on the longbow of the last remaining Xiongnu cavalryman, aimed straight at Qin Cheng's face!

  The face is the only place on these heavily armored infantrymen of Qin Castle that has no armor, and it's also the most vulnerable spot. Once hit by an iron arrow, Qin Castle will undoubtedly die on the spot, and at such a close distance, Qin Castle won't even have time to dodge!

  Qin Chen finally realized at this moment that on the ancient battlefield, his skills were indeed not enough. The perilous environment surrounded him, and even if he didn't make a mistake, it was easy to die unjustly!

  "Ah!"

  Almost at the same time as the iron arrow was shot from the Huns' bow, a loud shout was heard, and an agile figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pounced on the Hun warrior on horseback, and knocked him off his horse!

  The iron arrow was affected by the bowstring's vibration, deviating from its target. The flying arrow grazed Qin Cheng's face and left a shallow blood mark on his cheek!

  That figure knocked down the Xiongnu cavalryman and, having no time to draw his sword, directly rammed his elbow into the face of that Xiongnu soldier!

  But what he didn't realize was that behind his back, a Xiongnu soldier had already raised his long knife!

  "Die!"

  One sword slash, the head flew up.

  But it was not the agile figure who saved Qin City that died, but rather the Xiongnu soldiers who attempted to sneak up and attack him from behind!

  Qin Cheng beheaded the Xiongnu soldier in front of him and looked over this way, finally seeing clearly who had saved himself.

  Only to see Wu Dalang crouching his body, holding a long knife behind Dong Zhuo's back, while Dong Zhuo knocked out the Xiongnu soldier under his arm and pulled out the long knife to move his head!

  Next to Wu Dalang and Dong Chui, a headless corpse lay in a pool of blood.

  "Dong Chu, Da Liang, how are you?" Qin Cheng's heart warmed up, and he quickly ran over to form a back-to-back "pin" shape with the two of them.

  "It's nothing." Wu Dalang smiled wryly and licked the bloodstains on his lips.

  "Haha, I'm not dead yet!" Dong Zhuo said loudly, "Damn it, I've killed five Xiongnu soldiers, it's so damn cool!"

  "Good!" Qin Cheng said loudly.

  "Here they come again!" Wu Dalang reminded, Qin Cheng and Dong Zhuo looked up to see four Hun soldiers without war horses rushing towards them together.

  "Kill!" Dong Zhu shouted loudly and charged out first!

  One slash from top to bottom beheaded a Xiongnu soldier, and Dong Zhuo borrowed the momentum to arch his body.

  Qin Cheng sprinted over, his right foot borrowing momentum from Dong Zhu's back, his body leaping over the heads of several Xiongnu soldiers, flying out, and in mid-air, he made a swift turn to slash, cutting off the head of the last Xiongnu soldier from behind!

  Wu Dalie took advantage of the Xiongnu soldiers looking up at the flying figure of Qin Cheng, and successfully approached them. His long knife brought out a blood flower on the chest of one of the Xiongnu soldiers!

  Dong Chu, after borrowing strength from Qin Cheng, rolled his body and swept the last Xiongnu soldier's legs with a long knife close to the ground. At the same time, Qin Cheng's long knife came from behind and cut off his neck, while Wu Daliang's long knife happened to be inserted into his chest!

  Three knives, one life, this heroic Xiongnu soldier died and could not die again!
