In the next mont, nearly a thousand ambushed heavy crossbow operators within the blood-red cloud qi raised their crossbows as if they had been trained for countless years. The once mightiest heavy crossbown of the Central Plains, known as the Ultimate Sharp Soldiers of the Vanguard, were finally fully manifested by Sheni Pei.
Though only a third of them answered the call, the powerful effect of the military spirit imdiately beca apparent. It was as if raising their hands was instinctive, and the arrows naturally carried a blood-colored radiance as the crossbow bolts burst forth with a re lift of their hands.
Over a thousand crossbow bolts burst forth, significantly surpassing the normal power of a crossbow chanism under the augntation of the blood-colored military spirit. This was the opening move of the Vanguard’s break-white-horse technique. Even ordinary heavy crossbows reached the power of a crossbow chanism under the Vanguard’s blessing.
It was like the difference between a sniper rifle and sniper equipnt. Although only the first arrow could unleash such trendous power, that single arrow was enough to take down nearly a hundred elite Hun Guards from their horses, with many more Hun Guards being wounded.
"Kunlun Deity Protect Us!" Xubo Cheng roared, unleashing his legion talent directly, while all the Hun Guards behind him also shouted, their morale suddenly surging as they charged towards the city gate with unstoppable montum!
At this mont, the Yuan army at the center of the city gate suddenly split open, and a cavalry unit clad in heavy armor accelerated towards them. Leading them, Jiangh Yiqu wielded a long steel spear, charging fiercely through the gap opened by Yuan Tan’s troops.
By this ti, the Hun Guards had already charged into the passage of the city gate. The two powerful cavalry forces had only one option—to charge at each other head-on. However, Jiangh Yiqu was well prepared for this, and heavy cavalry was designed precisely for such linear charges.
"I will let you clearly see the mightiest cavalry of the Kunlun Deity’s descendants, kill!" Xubo Cheng shouted, his tone strange yet clear to everyone. With a cruel expression, he faced the heavy cavalry’s charge head-on; the Northern Huns’ strongest cavalry knew no fear!
With Xubo Cheng’s roar, all the riders of the Northern Huns Guard Cavalry suddenly raised their spears as if to counter length with shortness. Jiangh Yiqu roared as he led the heavy cavalry wildly towards Xubo Cheng. In this non-turnable passage of the city gate, the formation-breaking power of the heavy cavalry could be maximized. There was no need to turn; crushing the enemy before them was enough!
A cold smile appeared on Xubo Cheng’s lips as both sides clashed at maximum speed. In the next mont, countless heavy cavalry riders fell, while the Chanyu’s Imperial Guards, in the incredulous eyes of the heavy cavalry soldiers, perford unbelievably evasive maneuvers, attacking while dodging.
In just a few breaths, the two sides had crossed paths, and despite its reputation for the strongest charge ability, only half of the heavy cavalry rode out of the charge, rushing into the miscellaneous Hun army outside. Yet, under Xubo Cheng’s lead, the Chanyu’s Imperial Guards, with unimaginable skill and strength, effortlessly cut through with the loss of only a few dozen n.
[Superb evasion ability, superb reaction capability, perhaps even so predictive dodging ability. Frontal attack power strong enough to penetrate plate armor, extrely flexible movents on horseback, capable of readying attacks while dodging and predicting the enemy’s attack direction!]
Sheni Pei and Zhang He stared unblinkingly at the other side, feeling more and more chilled the more they watched. Last ti, because it was a chaotic battle, they couldn’t see clearly, but this ti they could both see; the attributes exhibited by the Chanyu’s Imperial Guards were simply terrifying!
[What kind of military spirit attribute is this? Juo Yi once said that the only uniform attribute of a military spirit was death resistance, and the others were the collective’s desired outco. Yet, the attributes displayed by the other side far exceeded those of the Vanguard. This is impossible; even if there is a disparity in military spirit, it shouldn’t be so imnse!] Sheni Pei suppressed the splitting headache, thinking frantically!
"Fire!" Yuan Tan shouted fearlessly as he faced the charging Chanyu’s Imperial Guards. Arrows burst forth, but even with such dense formations, not a single Chanyu’s Imperial Guard was knocked off their horse by ordinary archers. Whether by blocking, dodging, or relying on their defenses, not one of the Chanyu’s Imperial Guards was shot down!
Yet even so, faced with the blood-covered Chanyu’s Imperial Guards, not a single soldier or general at the north gate of Jicheng retreated.
Nurous great shields slanted slightly pressed against the ground, the spearn, already poised, lowering their spear tips under Yuan Tan’s lead, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the Chanyu’s Imperial Guards. However, as the Chanyu’s Imperial Guards charged in like the wind, even before the spearn could deliver that fatal blow, the situation suddenly reversed.
With a cruel smile, Xubo Cheng led all the Hun Guards into Jicheng; when facing the great shields and spears head-on, they showed no fear. The foremost Hun Guards suddenly reined in their horses, with the Dayuan Fine Steed standing erect in silent understanding, then heavily stomping down, human and horse strength together, hooves stomping harshly onto the great shields.
A brittle sound echoed, so great shields even buckling under a single stomp, imdiately after which the Hun Guards charged into the formation without losing speed, blood splattering in bursts amidst the ranks.
"How dare you kill wantonly!" Lyu Xiang shouted fiercely, killing two Hun Guards, forcibly engaging a knight, thrusting a spear straight into the opponent’s throat; the opponent desperately blocked Lyu Xiang’s long spear, still, the spear pierced through the skull.
But in the next mont, before Lyu Xiang could attack again, several spears thrust at him; the knights, as if one person, instantly blocked all escape routes for Lyu Xiang, while several spears from behind and arrows from who knows where targeted Lyu Xiang’s vital points.
"Puchi!" Lyu Xiang dodged left and right but still got stabbed by a spear, imdiately followed by several more spears impaling him.
Lyu Xiang knew there was no escape; he imdiately grasped the spear piercing him, fiercely thrusting towards the enemy in front. Yet, opposite him, the enemy watched without fear; several spears pinned Lyu Xiang through, and before his spear could strike the enemy, it was utterly stalled.
"Hate... unable to kill the enemy..." Lyu Xiang whispered, body pierced through by multiple spears, his right hand trembling, unable to deliver the final thrust. As an arrow flew in, hitting Lyu Xiang again, the last of his willpower crumbled, and he slowly fell.
"Second brother!" Lyu Kuang, pierced several tis and surrounded, shouted with bloodshot eyes at the sight, angrily rushing towards Lyu Xiang, not expecting a spear from behind to pierce through him.
Blood spurted from Lyu Kuang’s mouth, but sohow a strength rose within him; fiercely he threw his spear towards the Hun who killed Lyu Xiang, yet another soldier intercepted mid-air, deflecting it onto a Yuan army soldier.
"Hate..." More spears thrust forward, and Lyu Kuang slowly collapsed, struggling to gaze in Lyu Xiang’s direction, as the clamor of swords and spears gradually faded, so too did the last light before his eyes.
