Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 119: Loyalty and Courage, Unparalleled Charge

The pale-faced Qinglang rode his warhorse and galloped ahead of the Chiyan warhorse.

Behind him were dozens of Blue Wolf Riders who also looked haggard and exhausted.

On their way back to the Chilin Army camp from Toyota County, they were intercepted and killed on the way, and the Qinglang Cavalry suffered heavy casualties.

If the yellow lion hadn't fought to the death to cover the retreat, perhaps even the blue wolf would have been left behind.

Huang Shi's combat power ranks first among the generals of the Red Scale Army.

Only if he stayed behind could the remaining Blue Wolf Riders and the Blue Wolf leave together.

Qinglang and his men returned to the camp and immediately gathered the Chiyan Cavalry to rescue Huangshi.

For Qinglang and the remaining Qinglang Riders, they will regret for the rest of their lives that they could not rescue Huangshi.

"Woo——"

The charge horn sounded, and the Red Flame Cavalry had no intention of forming a battle formation. They launched a direct attack and charged towards the Rolling Cloud Cavalry.

As the army approached, Green Wolf saw the Yellow Lion, naked and covered in wounds, with a broken arm and a shattered eye. He looked up to the sky and cried out, "Kill, kill, kill—"

The Red Flame Warriors followed closely behind, shouting loudly: "Kill—"

The yellow lion clenched his fist, his face twitching, his single eye red: "Kill——"

Two charging cavalrymen reached out and pulled him onto their mounts.

Even though he was without armor and even though one of his arms was broken, Huang Shi still had an arrogant look on his face. He reached out to take the sword handed to him by a soldier beside him, gritted his teeth and rode his horse to charge into the battle.

The Rolling Cloud Cavalry began to get into chaos.

If the two sides are evenly matched in a battle, they are not afraid.

But at this time, the Red Scale Army was several times their size.

Moreover, at this time, the Great Qin Grandmaster was wreaking havoc in the formation, and their leader had been assassinated.

Being able to hold on until this point without collapsing, the Rolling Cloud Cavalry is already a truly powerful army.

"boom--"

The Rolling Cloud Cavalry, who had little fighting spirit, were pushed away, and the red-armored army with smoke and dust billowing, tore the Rolling Cloud Cavalry formation in half and rushed past.

Thirty thousand cavalrymen rushed forward, passed through the army formation, and finally saw the Grandmaster and Zhang Yuan standing in the army.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang——"

When the yellow lion saw Zhang Yuan, his one eye was filled with tears.

This was the person who sacrificed his own life for Huang Hansheng's.

He owes someone his life.

Thirty thousand war cavalrymen circled around and formed a formation around the long dragon of blood gathered by the Grandmaster.

The scattered Rolling Cloud Cavalry finally collapsed, no longer forming any formation, and fled in all directions.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

Thirty thousand cavalrymen needed no command and began to advance.

Those scattered rolling cloud war cavalry were swept up and submerged in the army formation in an instant, without even a splash of water.

A defeated army can only be slaughtered.

"Form a formation to stop the enemy—"

"The clouds keep rolling in—"

"Thousands of miles running wild——"

A team went against the flow, starting with a hundred or so people, then growing to seven or eight hundred, and then to a thousand war cavalry.

The green-armored warrior holding a gun had a determined look on his face. He raised his arms and shouted, charging towards the cavalry on both sides, blocking the way forward for the red-flame cavalry.

Thousands of people.

eight hundred.

five hundred.

three hundred.

The last hundred cavalrymen, led by the leading general, launched a desperate charge towards the red armor army.

……

--------------

Autumn of the eighteenth year of Yuankang.

After five years, a brief confrontation between Qin and Yan took place again in Toyota County.

This time, the bloody battle didn't drag on for three months like the one five years ago, but it was still brutal. However, the casualties this time were no longer the civilians and soldiers who fought desperately to defend the city, but the Northern Yan army that attacked Fengtian County.

The first army of Northern Yan, the Dragon Armor Guard, had 300 soldiers who formed a formation to stop the Grandmaster, but were killed by the black cavalry of the Black Ice Platform of the Great Qin. After being attacked by the Grandmaster, only one or two out of ten of the 300 soldiers returned to the Northern Yan Imperial City alive.

Although this battle was just a rumor among the Qin army and civilians, and Beiyan tried its best to refute it, rumors always become more true the more they are refuted.

The Qin Black Cavalry can kill the Dragon Armor Guards with just thirty of them.

The myth of the invincibility of the Qin cavalry in the five kingdoms and three regions was once again confirmed.

There had been no major wars among the five nations for decades, and the might of the Qin cavalry had been forgotten by many.

If the crushing defeat of the 300 Dragon Armor Guards of Northern Yan in Toyota County did some damage to the Northern Yan army's strength, then the fact that the 5,000 Rolling Cloud Cavalry of the Northern Yan Zhenbei Army were crippled, and the commander-in-chief and several leading generals died in battle, was a truly tragic loss.

The amount of food and supplies lost in forming such a cavalry is unimaginable.

These are still known to outsiders. What outsiders don’t know is that it is said that the death knell once rang in the Heavenly Demon Palace of Beiyan.

It is said that there have been unusual movements in the Northern Yan Zhenbei Army and the Zhenxi Army.

This short battle, which lasted only five days, marked the beginning of another war on the border between Daqin and Beiyan, which had been peaceful for five years.

The Red Scale Army assembled, and the Zhenbei Army was all dressed in white mourning clothes.

This battle made the Qin Black Cavalry famous for its invincibility, and made the Black Ice Platform, which had been silent for many years, remembered again by all parties.

Another question is how powerful the Grandmaster is, which has become a topic of debate in the martial arts world and the military.

Liang Qiyuan, the infinite master of the Shanyue Sect, broke the rolling cloud cavalry formation alone and fought against an entire army.

In this world, is there really a strong person who can conquer a country and change the destiny of a country by himself?

In this battle, the names of two people were deliberately suppressed.

One was Princess Fengming, who quietly entered Toyota County as a singing girl, and later sang and beat drums on the city wall of Toyota County.

As long as the Zhenxi Army has not surrendered, what Princess Fengming has done cannot be made public.

However, outsiders cannot know what arrangements the court will make for his rewards and what arrangements the Qin royal family will make.

The second person whose name was suppressed was Zhang Yuan.

Liang Qiyuan met him alone and told him solemnly that it was not a good thing to become famous at a young age and be burdened by fame.

Although Liang Qiyuan didn't know that Zhang Yuan's cultivation had reached the Grandmaster level, he was aware of Zhang Yuan's combat power.

To assassinate the commander-in-chief of an army, even with precious swords and armor, one needs to have extremely strong combat power.

As Liang Qiyuan saw it, Zhang Yuan could run rampant under the Grandmaster.

Originally, Zhang Yuan didn't care much about false reputation. Now that he has reached the Grandmaster level, he has become even more indifferent to many things. Liang Qiyuan wanted to help him suppress his reputation, so he naturally would not object.

So Grandmaster Wuliang suggested that Zhang Yuan was too young and inexperienced. If his reputation became too widespread this time, Beiyan and Zhenbei Army would definitely try their best to assassinate him, and many people in Daqin would also be keeping an eye on him.

Suppressing Zhang Yuan's reputation and giving Zhang Yuan time to practice is the greatest support for Zhang Yuan.

All the people in the city only had to repeat this truth once, and no one mentioned the fact that the Second Master had killed the priest of the Heavenly Demon Temple alone, nor did they mention the fact that the Second Master had led the Black Cavalry to charge into the battle and kill the Dragon Armor Guards.

As for the Second Master's loud shout to kill Qian Lichang, the Rolling Cloud Cavalryman, everyone should remember it.

Princess Fengming intends to have Prince Zhao's Mansion recruit Zhang Yuan and will not publicize Zhang Yuan's strength.

Bai Shaoting, Huang Shi and others from the Red Scale Army took Zhang Yuan out for a few drinks. They all wanted to recruit Zhang Yuan into the Red Scale Army, so they naturally never mentioned Zhang Yuan's strength and ability to charge into battle to anyone else.

The yellow lion had one eye injured, and even if his arms and legs could heal, his fighting power was greatly reduced, and his morale was quite low.

He specifically pulled Zhang Yuan with him, wanting Zhang Yuan to take over his position as the commander of the Red Flame Cavalry.

He would feel relieved if the Red Flame War Cavalry could be handed over to Zhang Yuan.

As for the Zhenbei Army, the Zhenxi Army, and some forces in Beiyan, each with their own purposes, they all quietly suppressed the name of Zhang Yuan.

It wouldn't be too shameful if Beiyan was defeated by the Grandmaster this time.

But no one can afford to lose face because of an unknown person like Zhang Yuan.

In the martial arts world, the name of Mr. Zhang, who is known for his righteousness, is becoming more and more famous, and many rumors are becoming more and more mysterious.

The important officials and generals of the Qin Dynasty who actually saw the battle report, and even the top figures of the Qin Dynasty in the imperial city, all remembered the names that could not be ignored.

Luyang Prefecture, Zhang Yuan.

One man led thirty black cavalrymen to charge into the battle formation and defeated three hundred dragon-armored guards of Northern Yan.

One man entered the battle and killed several innate realm generals including Qian Lichang, the commander of the Northern Yan Rolling Cloud Cavalry.

Loyal to the liver and righteous to the bravery.

Unparalleled charge.
