Chapter Four Encountered Pursuit
After hearing the order issued by their superiors, all the cavalrymen hung their bows and arrows back on their horses.
Then they drew out the ring-shou sword and gathered together in perfect harmony, each controlling the speed of their horses.
Led by the female general of the Zhou army, they formed a standard cone formation.
"Come over with me, kill the rebels, and get promoted to a higher rank!"
Seeing that the cone-shaped formation had taken shape, the female general of the Zhou army was very proud. She pointed the long sword in her hand at Ning Yan and commanded loudly at the same time.
"Here!"
Holding the reins tightly with one hand and the handle of the knife with the other, leaning slightly on the horse's back, the cavalrymen who were ready to charge responded in unison.
After that, the cavalry squad began to accelerate, and as the charging speed increased, red smoke spread out around the cavalry.
When the red smoke formed to a certain scale, the female general of the Zhou army, who acted as the arrowhead of the conical array, raised her long sword and shouted loudly: "It's as fast as the wind!"
Immediately, as if under some kind of guidance, the red smoke split into two.
Half of it was invested in the bodies of the cavalry, and half was invested in their horses, which immediately brought about an immediate strengthening effect.
The red smoke attached to the horse's hooves was like adding an extra propeller, and the charging speed was more than twice as fast as before.
The strengthened cavalry can also adapt to the soaring speed and control their mounts steadily.
After knocking away several Yellow Turban soldiers who were unable to dodge, the distance between the cavalry squad and Ning Yan continued to get closer.
In less than a minute, the cavalry team had reached the vicinity of Ning Yan, and the remaining distance of only a few hundred meters could be reached almost instantly at the current speed of the cavalry team.
Seeing that there was little hope of escape, Ning Yan, who had been running away, stopped and put Zhang Ning on the ground.
Then, he turned around, walked seven or eight steps forward, held the big knife in both hands, stepped on it suddenly, and shouted: "I am the Yellow Turban Army Dafangqu Shuai Ning Yan, whoever comes, stop!"
The yellow smoke around her almost condensed into substance, and all of it poured into the sword that was raised to her chest, turning into a sword light that completely enveloped the blade.
"The evil spirit is attached to the weapon! He is a Xuan-level fighter!"
When the female general of the Zhou Army saw this scene from a distance, her originally beaming and proud expression suddenly became a little solemn, and she murmured in her mouth.
But once the charge officially begins, there is no way to give up halfway.
The female general of the Zhou army waved her sword, and the red smoke that strengthened the cavalry and horses was inspired, and all of it floated around the sword blade.
But in the end, like Ning Yan, she could not purify the quality of the smoke to the point where it was as solid as a sword, turning it into a sword ray on the blade.
The female general of the Zhou Army who was controlling the red smoke showed some faint signs of being unable to hold on.
Not only were the facial features distorted and twisted into a ball, the arm holding the sword was also trembling.
The female general of the Zhou army rushed to Ning Yan amid a large amount of red smoke, swung her sword and struck down at her.
Seeing that the enemy was approaching fiercely, Ning Yan held the back of the sword with one hand and quickly raised the sword horizontally with the other hand, directly intercepting the attack.
With a bang, swords clashed!
A harsh buzz suddenly burst out, and the fierce energy reverberated in the air, drawing a vague wave-shaped trajectory.
The blade on the broadsword shattered inch by inch, and Ning Yan spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back after being hit.
Most of the red smoke surrounding the long sword was eliminated in an instant, and the remaining ones were scattered and completely disorganized.
The most important thing is that Ning Yan successfully stopped the charging cavalry squad by herself.
Even though most of the backlash produced by the sword collision was absorbed by the red smoke, a small amount of aftershocks left behind knocked the cavalry squad around.
Although the cavalry, including the female generals of the Zhou army, seemed not to have suffered much damage on the surface, the cone-shaped formation they formed was already in chaos.
"Boys, she's the only one here. Come on, please don't let us lose the reputation of our Sanhe Jingqi!"
The female general of the Zhou army rolled her eyes, pulled the reins and quietly rode her horse back, but she gave a righteous order.
The other cavalrymen were certainly not fools, but under the gaze of the female general of the Zhou Army, they were still frightened by the power they had accumulated over the years.
She could only bite the bullet and quickly adjust her posture, clamping her legs between the horse's belly and rushing towards Ning Yan again.
He shook his arm slightly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Ning Yan turned around and glanced back. After ensuring Zhang Ning's safety, she raised her sword to face the galloping cavalry, and the yellow blade glowed again.
Phew!
The blade cut into the body smoothly, large gourds of blood spilled into the air, and the horse neighed and fell to the ground.
Ning Yan slashed left and right, killing a life with one knife, and she directly ignored the enemy's attacks.
He exchanged wounds for lives by only attacking but not defending. Surrounded by more and more cavalry, he was bathed in the blood of both the enemy and ourselves, like a hungry mad tiger.
"Why are you panicking? Then surround her. This place is not far from Guangzong, and there is such a big noise. Someone will come to help soon!"
The female general of the Zhou army, who silently retreated to the rear and watched the battle, discovered that the morale of the cavalry squad was unstable, and immediately began to analyze the battle situation loudly to encourage the cavalry who were frightened by the killing.
Hearing this shouting, Su Qi, who had rushed from the rear to support him, became increasingly anxious. He understood that what the female general of the Zhou army said was right.
Even though Ning Yan relied on her personal force to temporarily suppress the cavalry squad, the Yellow Turban Army was still in defeat.
Even the dozen or so Yellow Turban defeated soldiers who had been ignored earlier took advantage of the cavalry squad's departure to flee, let alone other Yellow Turban reinforcements.
It was also because he knew that he would not really die that he would risk his own life to chase him to support him. Otherwise, he would have fled for his life like everyone else.
But the Zhou army was a serious victor, and their people were scattered everywhere nearby.
As long as they hear the sound of fighting here, people from all directions will come to check the situation. By then, even if Ning Yan can perform beyond her level, she will not be able to escape death.
Therefore, Su Qi wanted to sneak away with his chosen master while the enemy did not notice Zhang Ning.
He quickly passed by Ning Yan, who was deeply surrounded, and ran in the direction of Zhang Ning with his legs wide open.
On the way, Su Qi could still see Zhang Ning pinching the spell with his hands, and he was standing there with his eyes closed and mumbling something, as if he was about to cast some spell.
"I obviously followed the instructions in the book, but why can't I release it?"
Su Qi, who quickly ran to Zhang Ning, heard the woman in front of him release the magic spell that she was holding. She opened her eyes with a look of frustration, and tears overflowed from her eyes. She lowered her head and said helplessly.
"Miss, the situation is critical right now. It's better to retreat first and keep yourself useful so that Huang Tian can rise again in the future!"
Regardless of comforting Zhang Ning who failed to cast the spell, Su Qi gave a straightforward advice.
In order to improve his persuasiveness, he also deliberately reserved hope in his words to better impress Zhang Ning.
"ah!"
