The Kingdom of Qixia is still swearing the oath, but on the opposite side, only thirty miles away, the commander of the Kingdom of Jinyang, Sima Zhen, the hussar general of the Kingdom of Jinyang, is watching from a distance, with a faint smile on his lips.
:
"The country of Qixia seems to be at the end of its rope, so that's why we pulled this trick of having the imperial commander personally conquer the country." As he said that, he turned to look at the many generals around him, "Do you have the confidence to take off the head of the emperor of the country of Qixia?"
"Yes!" The generals' voices were as loud as waves.
"Then, let's attack! Although their morale is high at this time, they haven't had time to set up their formations yet. If we attack now, they will be in chaos. Although a personal expedition by a charioteer can boost morale, it can also easily tie up the army.
By the way, Zhao Yue."
"General." A general with a bow and arrows on his back stood up.
Sima Zhen took out a slender box about four feet from the storage ring and said slowly: "Zhao Yue, go and recruit some outstanding archers from the army. Your task is to keep an eye on the great emperor of Qixia Kingdom.
, shoot it down for me whenever there is a chance! I will let other generals try their best to create opportunities.
These are the ‘soul-chasing arrows’ given by the emperor, and there are only three of them.”
Zhao Yue was excited and took the box with trembling hands. When he opened it, he saw three arrows made entirely of mithril and engraved with strange patterns. Compared with ordinary arrows, they were almost longer.
Yi Chi, its arrowhead is triangular in shape, with barbs, and is extremely ferocious. The arrowhead is also covered with fine patterns, which is a bit weird.
Sima Zhen explained solemnly: "The soul-chasing arrow is made entirely of mithril, and the arrow part is made of star fine gold. It is extremely hard and sharp. It has armor-breaking and forbidden-breaking properties, and can easily penetrate the defense of ordinary Nascent Soul in the later stage.
The arrow is highly poisonous. Once it hits, even if you are at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, you will not survive for two hours!"
Zhao Yue solemnly put away the arrow: "I will not let the general down."
Sima Zhen turned his head, looked ahead, and took a deep breath: "Send the order, attack!"
The heavy city gate suddenly opened, and the cavalry took the lead to rush out. The cavalry rushed out of the city gate, adjusting their formation while galloping. Under the iron hoofs of the war horses, a little blue-white demonic cloud appeared, and gradually became thicker.
Suddenly the leading general roared angrily, sat down, raised his hooves on his war horse, and stepped on the floating clouds with a thud. Then he led the cavalry behind him into the sky with a rumble, charging towards the checkpoint of Qixia Kingdom.
These mounts are obviously dragon horses from the Kingdom of Yanyun.
There were three groups, each with about 5,000 cavalry, charging in three directions; one group went straight to the direction of the Emperor of Qixia Kingdom, and the other two groups attacked on both sides of the Qixia Kingdom checkpoint.
The attack time of the Kingdom of Jinyang was chosen too accurately. At this time, the army of the Kingdom of Qixia was roaring, and most of the main generals gathered around the emperor. Although the various military deployments were good, there was also some chaos.
The dragon-horse cavalry was as fast as lightning. It took less than ten minutes to reach the checkpoint of Qixia Kingdom from a distance of more than 30 miles. Before the cavalry could get close, a wave of bows and arrows came.
Most of the bows and arrows are blocked by the barrier, but the target of the cavalry is obviously not the border, and it is unrealistic to use cavalry to attack the border. The target of the cavalry is high in the sky...the Great Emperor!
To be more precise, this attack is not expected to kill the emperor. As long as it can force him to retreat and dodge, it will be considered successful.
"Looking for death!" The commander of the imperial guards beside the Emperor of Qixia Kingdom snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, thousands of imperial guards around him instantly formed a battle formation to attack the cavalry.
The cavalry came with a bang, and the spears in their hands that were more than ten feet long were like poisonous snakes, rushing towards them fiercely.
A crazy war was staged in the sky. More than five thousand cavalry formed a charging battle formation, and a layer of barrier enveloped them like a huge arrow.
However, the guards of Qixia Kingdom formed a huge shield barrier to firmly protect His Majesty behind him. On this shield, there were countless long swords, shining with cold light.
The cavalry approached quickly.
"Get ready!" the guard commander roared.
"Boom!" The cavalry and the guards collided, and blood spattered instantly. The barrier between the two sides collapsed at the moment of collision, and most of the cavalry, horses, and guards who bore the brunt were covered in blood.
Roars, screams, the neighing of war horses, the clashing and breaking of weapons all made one sound.
There is no luck in the war. Relying on the powerful charge, the cavalry pushed the guards back continuously; the cavalry's crazy spears flashed with bloodthirsty light, penetrated the shields and penetrated the bodies of the guards.
But once the cavalry stopped, they would lose their advantage and be killed by the guards at the rear.
Blood is like rain, broken weapons, twisted bodies, struggling horses, falling from the sky.
The cavalry rushed wildly, and then sprinted again. The five thousand cavalry were reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye; but during the tea time, more than 800 cavalry were lost in the battle.
But their madness also brought rich results: the imperial guards of the Qixia Kingdom retreated a hundred feet, approaching the emperor's position. The imperial guards of the Qixia Kingdom also suffered more than a thousand casualties.
But the battle is still going on. The cavalry is still charging, the guards are roaring; but the emperor is motionless.
Once the emperor retreats, half of the morale inspired by the personal expedition will be lost. But facing such a scene, the emperor's face is serious. But underneath that seemingly majestic face, there is anxiety hidden behind it.
The enemy is not only attacking with cavalry, but also has a large army in the rear. The longer the delay here, the more passive we will become.
The Emperor was anxious in his heart. Finally he had to wave to his back, and the elite of the army separated a part, trying to surround the crazy cavalry in the sky.
However, as soon as the cavalry saw Qixia Kingdom's actions, they immediately retreated; indeed, they came and went like the wind.
In this brief confrontation, the Kingdom of Qixia was clearly at a disadvantage. Therefore, although the cavalry retreated, no one on the Kingdom of Qixia cheered.
Morale has dropped a lot.
However, at this moment, the retreating cavalry suddenly killed a carbine.
They didn't form a formation, and they didn't even heal themselves. They just fought back.
Similarly, the imperial guards had no preparations and no formation.
"Pfft..." A sour voice sounded, along with countless screams.
After a carbine shot, the cavalryman didn't even have time to take back the spear in his hand, so he dropped his weapon and rode away.
There were almost three hundred guards with spears that were more than a foot long and almost as high as two people stuck in their chests, and they screamed and fell high into the sky.
"Ah... use flying swords!" the guard commander roared, and the guards launched flying swords. At one time, more than three thousand flying swords turned into flowing light and flew towards the cavalry like a waterfall.
The speed of the cavalry is obviously not as fast as that of the flying sword. The flying sword approaches quickly.
But when the flying swords arrived, a barrier was raised just above the cavalry team, which blocked the flying swords attack.
Cavalry, leave quickly.
On the distant land, the legions of the Kingdom of Jinyang have been rolling in, and the suffocating breath is coming like a tide.
The flags were fluttering, and the boundless army was like a tide. Facing so many legions, the soldiers of Qixia Country swallowed their saliva secretly.
"I'm afraid there are millions of people!" The commander of the Imperial Guard was astonished, "How could the Kingdom of Jinyang mobilize so many legions!"
The emperor also gasped, but had to force himself to calm down. "The Kingdom of Jinyang has been planning this for a long time. Didn't they say it when they were in Xinglin Hall, they have been preparing for this day for decades!
By the way, has Wu Fanghai arrived?"
A minister next to him reported: "Your Majesty, not yet. But it should be soon."
The commander of the imperial guard next to him said carefully: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the current situation cannot wait for General Wu. Even if General Wu comes now, it will take some time to understand the situation of the battle."
The emperor thought for a while and nodded: "Su Jianzhong is in command now. Send an order to Su Jianzhong and give him full authority to command the war!"
The minister asked carefully: "Your Majesty, General Su Jianzhong was... attacked by a sneak attack last time and lost all his war weapons?"
"Go and give the order." The emperor sighed.
Changing generals before the battle is taboo, and Su Jianzhong is not bad at all. He may not be as good as Wu Fanghai and other top generals, but he should still have no problem guarding the pass.

Zhang Hao brought two hundred new sets of weapons and armor to the brand-new Weapon Refining Guild, chatted with Zhou Jue for a few words, and prepared to go to the City Lord's Mansion.
But Zhang Hao had just left the Weapon Refining Guild, and there was someone waiting at the door. As soon as this person saw Zhang Hao, he immediately bowed and said to Zhang Hao: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am from Yeyue Tower. Manager Bai Ye sincerely invites you."
Master Zhang went to Yeyue Tower to explain."
Zhang Hao was a little dazed, but after thinking about it he smiled: "Go back and tell Bai Ye that I will hold a luncheon at Zhang Mansion at noon and invite Manager Bai to the banquet.
I have something else to do now, I need to visit the city lord. Take my leave."
After Zhang Hao said that, he turned around and left. But he murmured in his heart: Where is Yeyue Tower? It is a killer agency. At this critical moment, Zhang Hao does not want to go to such a place; it is better to be careful.
