216: Golden Fire Cavalry, heavy cavalry attacks!

The Golden Fire Cavalry!

Upon hearing this, Bru was terrified, his spirit lost! His face had lost all color!

The next moment, before Bru could even speak, he heard the equally panicked Left Great General Ulihan, Left General shout, “Retreat! Retreat quickly!”

Ulihan, Left General shouted as he pulled Bru and ran backward, and the entire Xiongnu Cavalry immediately fell into chaos!

All cavalry on the grasslands had heard of the Golden Fire Cavalry!

They were General General Meng Tian’s personal army of Qin, and more importantly, they were an elite heavy armored cavalry!

They were all light cavalry, and facing heavy cavalry, they feared they would have no power to resist!

Bru now understood why She Jian had been delaying for so long—it was because the enemy was heavy cavalry!

She Jian wanted to hold them back for the Golden Fire Cavalry; in close combat, heavy cavalry were an invincible force for a very long time!

Bru hastily turned his horse around and, leading the charge, rushed backward with the Left Great General!

Unfortunately, Bru had not listened to She Jian’s advice and escaped earlier; now he would not be in such a sorry state.

The next moment, the Red Armored Cavalry passed through the White Horse Righteous Cavalry from both sides, charging directly at the Xiongnu Cavalry!

Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep!

In just an instant, the Xiongnu Cavalry, who were turning around, suffered heavy losses!

Bru heard the screams from behind him and, utterly distraught, looked back to see the Red Armored Cavalry, fully clad in heavy armor, both riders and horses, sweeping through the Xiongnu Cavalry like a scythe cutting through wheat, reaping their lives in an instant!

The situation on the Xiongnu people side was horrific; the Golden Fire Cavalry remained exceptionally calm, their expressions unwavering even amidst the battlefield with flesh and blood flying before their eyes.

At this moment, they only knew slaughter; they were the strongest war machines!

Lin Yue and his group had forgotten to pursue, as the impact of the Golden Fire Cavalry was simply too great for them!

Or rather, they felt it wasn't necessary; thirty thousand Golden Fire Cavalry were already enough to cut down two hundred thousand Xiongnu Cavalry.

The White Horse Righteous Cavalry stood stunned, taking a long time to recover!

Although Lin Yue had once been a member of the Golden Fire Cavalry, he had never witnessed the Golden Fire Cavalry’s impact on a plain!

Seeing the scene before him, Lin Yue finally understood the difference between light cavalry and heavy cavalry!

Organized heavy cavalry on a plain were completely like tanks!

Crushing everything, invincible!

They were simply not something any light cavalry could contend with head-on!

If heavy cavalry were the tanks of the cold weapon era, then the Golden Fire Cavalry were the kings among tanks, similar to Germany's Tiger II King Tiger tanks in World War II!

All enemies on the battlefield would be targets for the Golden Fire Cavalry to destroy!

Bru ran for his life, but the Xiongnu Cavalry behind him could not escape death; this was fate, the fate of every cavalry that encountered the Golden Fire Cavalry on the battlefield.

“Kid, what are you standing around for?” She Jian drew his longsword and laughed heartily.

“General She Jian, why is it the Golden Fire Cavalry?” Lin Yue asked, recovering his senses.

“Heh, Yang Dengshan came back and said you guys were in danger. My cavalry still needed to attack cities and strongholds, so I borrowed thirty thousand Golden Fire Cavalry from the Great General.

I came from the Golden Fire Cavalry, and when the Great General saw me, he lent me thirty thousand men, so I immediately rushed over.”

“Thank you, General!” Lin Yue said.

Although She Jian spoke lightly, Lin Yue knew that She Jian’s journey might not have been easy. For heavy cavalry to march a thousand li in haste, he wondered how She Jian had convinced the Great General.

She Jian took a few steps forward, heavily pounded Lin Yue's chest, and laughed heartily:

“Good lad, you didn't disappoint me!

King Baiyang, this time our right army has gained great prestige!

When General Wang Li learned that you had captured King Baiyang, if not for the recent intense fighting, he would have personally come to greet you!”

“General Wang Li?” Lin Yue asked, puzzled.

“Dong Zhuo led the Flying Bear Army, sweeping through everything, and has already scattered most of King Loufan’s subordinates. I heard he captured millions of Xiongnu people, and most of their infantry are now dedicated to escorting captives.

But our right army lacked cavalry, and previously faced many obstacles, which worried General Wang Li greatly. You know those two don't get along.

But now it's fine; King Baiyang has been captured by you, and the rest will be scattered soldiers. The Henan region can be said to be within easy reach.” She Jian laughed heartily, in a very pleasant mood. This time, he too would become famous!

“But Bru became the new King Baiyang not long ago and has already ordered his subordinates to advance on all fronts,” Lin Yue reminded him.

She Jian frowned, somewhat surprised: “Who is Bru?”

“He’s the one you were just talking to,” Lin Yue chuckled.

She Jian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and laughed:

“Oh, that silly boy, don’t worry, he’s too foolish to achieve anything great.

Besides, he ordered his subordinates to attack us on all fronts?” She Jian asked, puzzled.

“Yes, the order has spread throughout the entire Henan region, and we encountered some tribal ambushes along the way,” Lin Yue said.

“Haha! Heaven helps me!

We have more infantry, and we were worried they would fight and flee. We were just looking for enemies!

Isn't this giving us warmth?

That silly boy, I'm really starting to like him more and more!” She Jian laughed heartily.

Lin Yue thought about it and realized it was indeed the case, deciding he wouldn't act out of anger in the future.

“By the way, don’t wait any longer, go back and see King Baiyang. He’s about to be taken over by the Golden Fire Cavalry.

He’ll be sent directly to the Great General.” She Jian said with a smile.

“Understood!” Lin Yue responded, having traveled a long way, finally someone was taking this hot potato off his hands!

“By the way, your two subordinates are excellent,” She Jian suddenly said.

“Who?” Lin Yue was a bit confused.

“Zong Ze and Pan Feng! General Wang Li allocated one hundred thousand cavalry to me, and I entrusted them to Zong Ze. He broke seven tribes in three days and captured nearly four hundred thousand Xiongnu people. General Wang Li was delighted and wanted to promote him to a position in the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army, but I politely declined.

Pan Feng is also impressive; with only thirty thousand infantry, he managed to take down a tribe of nearly one hundred and fifty thousand people. I am already preparing to transfer him to my Guard Battalion,” She Jian said with a proud expression, but then he patted Lin Yue’s shoulder and chuckled:

“But you are still the most outstanding! One hundred thousand White Horse Righteous Cavalry utterly defeated King Baiyang’s ten million troops. Upon your return, promotion and ennoblement are inevitable!”

“It’s all thanks to the General,” Lin Yue chuckled. Was he like Madam Niu, who had regained her youthful beauty and become a sweetie again, regaining favor?

“Alright, stop joking around, go,” She Jian said, then leaned on his sword and gazed into the distance, observing the Golden Fire Cavalry’s battle situation.

As Lin Yue was leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to She Jian, saying:

“General, your entrance just now was very dashing!”

She Jian still gazed into the distance, and after a long moment, he said faintly:

“Oh, really?

I’ll teach you sometime.”

“Good.” Lin Yue smiled and walked to the side.

Little did he know that She Jian’s mouth was now stretched to his ears, and his two hands gripping the sword were bruised from pinching himself, desperately holding back his laughter!

...Lin Yue walked to the side, arriving beside Xing Daorong with a half-smile, and bowed with cupped hands:

“Lin Yue thanks you, brave warriors, for saving me!

May I ask your esteemed names, brave warriors? Lin Yue will surely reward you generously upon my return to Shang Commandery!”

The men looked at each other, a look of disbelief in their eyes, and finally, the middle-aged man with the broadsword, who was leading them, asked:

“You are Lin Yue, Colonel Lin of the Great Wall Legion?”

“Precisely,” Lin Yue chuckled.

“We searched high and low, but found nothing, only to stumble upon it effortlessly!

We are here to find you!” The leading man with the broadsword laughed heartily!
