Chapter Thirty: Charging into the Array and Beheading the General

  The cavalry charged forward with great momentum and fanfare.

  Even with only more than 60 riders, it's enough to shock people. Especially the cavalry under Li Zhēn's command, the first seven riders in blue armor, all over their bodies were iron armor, a uniform metal fortress, and the war horses were far larger than ordinary warhorses. When they charged forward, they stirred up the sand and stones on the ground, and the momentum was terrifying to hear!

  Fifty-five light cavalry followed closely behind, their bodies covered in armor, a dull yellow like the glow of sunset, galloping wildly!

  Although the number is small, this momentum can't be completely covered up even by the noise of the battlefield and the shouting and killing.

  Li Zhong led a cavalry charge from behind the hills and broke through the enemy lines, but was discovered by the rebels in an instant.

  "Where did the cavalry come from?!"

  "Not one of us, beware, beware!"

  Those with sharp eyes immediately discovered that the cavalry rushing towards this side, their mounts were majestic, their equipment was abnormal, and they were all covered in armor. This was completely different from the rebel army, even from all the Han armies the rebels had ever seen. But without a doubt, this was not a friendly army! So they immediately sounded the alarm - the rebel troops on the edge of the battlefield hastily turned around, each holding up their long spears and big knives.

  An archer drew his longbow and set an arrow in place.

  But it's too late.

  "Fire!"

  Li Zhēng grasped the Blood Dragon Spear in his hand, pointing it straight ahead. His entire body was slightly lowered, closely adhering to the broad back of the warhorse, fully prepared to charge into the enemy formation.

  The enemy formation was right in front of them, about two hundred steps away. Li Zhong let out a loud shout and immediately the sixty light cavalry behind him loosened their tight arms!

  Buzz!

  A small cluster of arrows flew over from above, although not many, but very concentrated, the sound shook the heart and lungs!

  Immediately afterwards, a series of mournful howls rose up.

  The arrow shot out of the bowstring and traversed a distance of over 100 paces in an instant, landing amidst the enemy ranks.

  In the rebel army, those who had just turned around to prepare for Li Zhong's attack immediately suffered a heavy blow. Sixty arrows took away at least thirty or forty lives!

  Li Dang even keenly discovered that many arrows, even one arrow with two feathers, had penetrated people's bodies, and still had undiminished power to kill another!

  The power of Jia's armor is undoubtedly beginning to reveal itself at this moment.

  Blinking his eyes, Li Zhong's rebel army formation in front of him suddenly cleared out a small space.

  At this moment, Li Ding's warhorse had already entered within a distance of fifty paces.

  "Draw your sword!"

  Li Zhongchen let out a loud shout and the light cavalry following closely behind him quickly hung their longbows on the saddle hooks while drawing out the sabers from their waists!

  "Raise your knife and kill!"

  With this loud shout, more than 60 riders formed a cone-shaped formation, Li Zhong led the way on horseback and charged into the enemy's array first!

  But then he saw his arm shake, the long gun in his palm turned into a group of illusions, the muzzle flashed with cold light, and then, it was seen that the rebels who blocked Li Zhēn's body, four or five of them covered their throats and fell to the ground.

  Six riders in green armor followed closely behind Li Zhong, their six long spears like swimming dragons, as Li Zhong easily tore through the rebel army's formation, opening up a path.

  Close behind them, the light cavalry dragged their sabers, flashing by, and a streak of bloody light flashed, and rows of rebel soldiers fell down with a miserable cry.

  The rebels will naturally counterattack and are not easy targets.

  But facing the seven Blue Steel War Riders, the rebels had no way to attack. The seven Blue Steel War Riders were like metal fortresses, completely unafraid of the rebel army's attacks!

  Countless rebels blocking the way of the Qing army's war horses were either stabbed to death by long spears or knocked flying in batches!

  The Green Armor Warhorse, with strength and physique far surpassing those of ordinary warhorses, has been unleashed!

  A row of green-armored warhorses lowered their heads, with the sharp horns on their foreheads pointing straight forward. The direction of the charge was completely controlled by the knights on horseback.

  Along with the green armor cavalry, the light cavalry war horses are also not weak.

  Although the war horse's various qualities are far inferior to those of the Qingjia War Rider, and the armor is only made of leather, the war horse light cavalry is more agile, and the leather armor is also equally tough!

  The horseback sword swung and dragged, expanding the passage that the green armor warhorse had charged out of by several times!

  The war horses passed by, leaving behind only corpses with blood flowing like rivers, and the rebels were shocked and bewildered.

  In just this short moment, the number of rebels killed by Li Jing's cavalry was less than a hundred!

  This mob of insurgents was intimidated in an instant, and many rebels did not dare to come forward, pushing and shoving to dodge to both sides, and did not dare to fight against Li Jing's cavalry!

  Rumble!

  The sound of horseshoes still thundered, dense and numerous rebel troops, couldn't even slow down the speed of the war horse's charge.

  The majestic King rode on horseback, grasping the hilt of his waist sword, his eyes fixed intently on the fierce battle below the western city.

  The corners of his mouth had already revealed a sly smile.

  He clearly saw that the middle-aged man, who was wearing armor and fighting hard, still looked elegant in the bloody battlefield.

  "Fu Xie, you're going to die soon! You aristocratic families are all doomed, Han Ting's running dogs will be torn into pieces!"

  Wang Guo gritted his teeth, feeling extremely pleased in his heart.

  Report!

  Suddenly, a long whistle came from behind, making Wang Guo involuntarily stunned.

  He quickly composed himself, his expression and demeanor returning to normal. Wang Guo's eyes narrowed, still fixed on the battle unfolding below West City, watching as the encirclement gradually shrank. He said calmly, "What is it?"

  "Report to the Great General, the Han court's reinforcement troops have broken through the enemy lines!"

  "Oh?!"

  The king was not at all surprised, turned his head around, and only saw the dense crowd of people's heads, without any discovery. There were too many people, Li Jing led more than 60 riders to charge in, just like a drop of water entering the ocean.

  "Where is the Han court's relief army?"

  "Great General, rebel reinforcements are arriving from the south and breaking into our formation, brothers can't hold them back!"

  "Huh?!"

  The king's face sank: "How many people?!"

  "Less than a hundred riders!"

  "Huh? Hahaha...!" Wang Guo was taken aback, then burst out laughing: "I'm dying of laughter! A mere hundred cavalry dare to charge into the formation. Is the commander of that reinforcement army out of his mind?!"

  As for what the messenger said 'can't stop', it was completely ignored by the kingdom at this moment.

  He waved his hand to dismiss the messenger, and turned back to his kingdom. A pair of turbid eyes swept over the several generals who followed closely behind him, finally settling on a middle-aged general with a more robust build than Wang Guo, whose face was calm and firm.

  "Ma Shoucheng, you go and annihilate that Han court relief army!"

  The middle-aged general seemed unsurprised that the kingdom had summoned him, and nodded slightly in response. After acknowledging the summons, he led several hundred cavalrymen southward.

  Li Zheng led the troops to kill into the rebel army, just for a moment, and had already broken through hundreds of meters. The rebels who blocked his way were either killed by a single shot or trampled by war horses, their bones shattered to death.

  Such ferocity caused the rebels to be terrified beyond measure, and they retreated in disarray.

  Blood splattered everywhere, his face was grotesquely distorted.

  Although Li Zhong was not a first-time killer, he had never killed people like flies on the battlefield before.

  As time passed, Li Zhēn became more and more skilled at killing, his heart becoming smoother and the accumulated killing intent and heroic spirit in his chest involuntarily causing him to grow stronger with each passing day.

  The more than sixty cavalrymen behind him also gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield, and one by one they were no longer as tense as they were at first. This also caused their killing efficiency to start increasing.

  The countless corpses of the rebels did not make the war riders feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, their morale was higher and higher, a kind of confidence that accumulated quietly in their hearts.

  "Uighur general, report your name!"

  At this moment, a loud shout came from in front of Li Zhēng.

  Li Zhong couldn't help but look up, and saw a middle-aged general, holding a spear and riding a horse, leading hundreds of cavalrymen, cutting through the waves like a hot knife, charging towards Li Zhong.

  "How dare you rebel generals ask for my name!"

  "Die!" Li Zhēng shouted.

  "You dare to insult me!" The middle-aged general's face changed color with anger, and he said: "You Han general are getting too arrogant, wait for me to behead you, then I'll ask your name again!"

  The words had barely fallen when two cavalry troops thundered together like sparks colliding with the earth!

  Li Zhēng's long spear in his hand shook, with a humming sound, the spearhead swung, like a poisonous snake, rushing straight to the middle-aged rebel general's throat!

  The middle-aged rebel general immediately felt the cold killing intent, his face changed, and he slightly tilted his head, the long spear in his hand was like a spring, and it bounced the Blood Dragon Spear away!

  Bang!

  A loud clang of metal on metal rang out, and the rebel general couldn't help but shudder all over, his palms growing numb! Even his mount involuntarily halted in its tracks, taking a step back.

  "What a formidable Han general!"

  The rebel general's eyes were alert, he swung his long spear and came forward again.

  Li Zhong was calm and fearless. Although this rebel general was formidable, as soon as they clashed, Li Zhong knew he wasn't his match. However, this person was also the most powerful master Li Zhong had met since coming to this era. The White Wolf and others behind him weren't even worth looking at. In a flash of thought, Li Zhong's long spear drew circle after circle, encircling the rebel general and intercepting his advance.

  Bai Lang and others did not stop at all, carrying the momentum of the war horse's charge, they only charged forward.

  Li Zhong and the rebel general clashed in this chaotic army, a great battle ensued.

  After just a few rounds of fighting, the rebel general's face turned bright red. Li Zhēng sat cross-legged on the Qingyun, looking down from above, his spear flashing like a dragon, each move and style not only mysterious and extraordinary, but also incredibly powerful, shaking the internal organs of the rebel army, mouth corners already oozing threads of blood.

  What made him even more heart-chilling was that Li Zhong's majestic steed with long horns was equally ferocious. With a loud whinny and a bite, the sharp horn on its head fiercely collided, causing the treacherous general's precious horse to be injured again and again, despite the rebel army's desperate attempts to protect it.

  In a duel between martial heroes, if there is too great a disparity in their mounts, it will be difficult to preserve one's life.

  The rebel general was secretly anxious in his heart.

  What shocked him even more was that Li Zhēn's exquisite moves had him surrounded, and for a time, he couldn't even temporarily break free.

  Especially after hearing the hundreds of cavalrymen he brought with him let out a series of mournful cries, he could no longer hold himself together!

  "Flash!"

  The rebel thought secretly in his heart.

  But it's too late!

  Just as he heard his soldiers screaming and was slightly distracted, Li Ding's spear pierced the neck of the rebel general's horse.

  A loud whinny, and the warhorse was in such agony that it involuntarily leapt into the air.

  At this moment, it's hard for the traitor to grasp the balance, and the moves in his hand are immediately chaotic.

  "Die!"

  Li Zheng's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he shot a gun to seal his throat!

  "Now I tell you, the one who killed you is me, Lingzhou Li Zheng!"

  Pfft!

  He pulled out his long spear and didn't even look at the treacherous general who had fallen off his horse, then turned his horse around and quickly chased after the White Wolf.

  Because of the obstruction brought by the rebel general with hundreds of elite cavalry, and without Li Jing leading the way in front, the charging speed of the war cavalry gradually slowed down.

  However, even so, in this clash with these hundreds of elite cavalrymen, the war cavalry still had the upper hand.

  Especially the vanguard of the Green Armor War Rider, who was not afraid of the interceptors' blades at all, just charged horizontally and vertically, killing the rebels crying and screaming.

  The light cavalry behind also showed no weakness, swinging their horse knives and continuously killing the rebel army.

  Although the leather armor of light cavalry is inferior to the metal armor of heavy cavalry, those who can break through their defenses are still in the minority.

  Li Zhong let out a burst of speed, looking around as he ran, but didn't see any of his own soldiers falling to the ground!

  They're all great!

  Li Zhēng knew that after going through this battle, these dozens of riders would truly transform into elite troops!
