323: Battle-hardened armored army!

“Disperse!” Lin Yue shouted!

The White Horse Camp cavalry, numbering less than 30,000, immediately followed Lin Yue to dodge to the side, circling around to the rear of the Army!

As the White Horse Camp dodged to the side, the pupils of the Xiongnu people's vanguard suddenly widened, and a wave of fear surged into their hearts!

They saw countless black-armored formations ahead!

Bows, Qin Crossbows, Ballistas, and everything else were fully equipped!

Countless sharp arrows gleamed coldly, aimed at them!

“Shoot!” When there was no longer a single Qin Army Soldier in front of the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army, an order was given!

In an instant, ten thousand arrows were unleashed!

A dense volley of arrows assailed them, like raging, terrifying waves crashing down, bringing a sense of suffocation. The Xiongnu Cavalry Soldier had no power to resist and was swept away!

The Xiongnu people's vanguard was completely annihilated!

This place, situated between two hills, was an excellent ambush location!

It was also the most suitable location for the Qin Army's crossbow formations!

The Xiongnu Cavalry Soldier charging head-on were terrified by this sight; their kinsmen died in front of them in an instant, which had an unparalleled impact on them!

“Disperse!” The leading Xiongnu Military General shouted, and then the Xiongnu Cavalry Soldier scattered to the left and right, simultaneously drawing their bows to retaliate!

But their sporadic arrows were no match for the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army's crossbow formation, which could be called an all-encompassing firepower coverage in cold weapons!

Before they even reached the sides, more than half of the Cavalry Soldier were struck by arrows and fell from their horses. The Xiongnu Cavalry Soldier who managed to escape to the sides were met with a fierce attack by the Qin Army, who were waiting in ambush there!

All perished there!

“Ballistas, shoot!”

“First rank, shoot!”

“First rank retreat three steps, second rank advance, shoot!”

Orders were given in an orderly manner.

The Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army was like a merciless war machine; no matter what situation arose in front of them, they remained completely unaffected, continuing to shoot according to orders!

Lin Yue witnessed a Xiongnu Cavalry Soldier, spear raised, breaking through to the front of the first row of Qin Soldiers, but that Qin Soldier seemed not to see him, remaining unmoving!

Just as the spear tip was less than a foot from him, a whistling Ballista suddenly appeared from behind, piercing through the warhorse beneath the Xiongnu Cavalry Soldier and dragging him forcefully backward!

The Xiongnu Cavalry Soldier then fell bewilderedly to the ground, only to be run through the head by a crossbow bolt from the Qin Army crossbowman in front of him, dying instantly!

However, this was just a microcosm. The two Armies were stretched into a line, their forces extending as far as the eye could see.

But there was a gap of less than three hundred meters between the vanguards of the two Armies, yet this three hundred meters was an insurmountable chasm. No matter how many Xiongnu Cavalry Soldier paved the way with the corpses of their comrades, they could not reach the other side!

This scene left Lin Yue stunned!

It was his first time witnessing the strength of the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army under Wang Li!

If their usual volleys were dense downpours, then the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army's volleys were torrential waterfalls, unstoppable by anyone!

Their volleys were like the firepower coverage of later generations.

No matter how powerful the enemy's combat strength and willpower, they could not defeat such a disciplined and well-equipped Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army head-on!

It was by relying on such a Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army that Wang Li was able to firmly hold the position of Deputy Commander of the Great Wall Legion!

And Great Qin, too, by relying on bows and crossbows far superior to the six states, and the fearless Old Qin People, was able to pacify the six states and unify the world!

“Surprised?” Wang Li suddenly appeared beside Lin Yue, smiling.

“This humble general greets the General!” Lin Yue recovered and cupped his hands.

“Hmm, you should return to the Encampment to rest first. You’ve worked hard on this journey,” Wang Li said with a gentle smile.

“There are still many pursuers behind,” Lin Yue thought for a moment and still spoke, although he had already witnessed the strength of the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army, the endless Xiongnu people pursuers still made him feel a hint of worry.

“No matter. I was well-prepared for this battle. The Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army has ample crossbow bolts, and heavy infantry guard both flanks. Even if there were twice as many Xiongnu people today, they would not escape death on my home ground!” Wang Li said in a deep voice.

“Understood!” Lin Yue felt relieved when Wang Li said this.

“This humble general takes his leave!” Lin Yue cupped his hands and stepped back, but unexpectedly, Wang Li suddenly spoke.

“Go straight back to the camp, don’t wander around. The Great General and the Young Master are waiting for you at the Encampment.”

“Understood!” Lin Yue responded, then departed.

Although he didn't understand why the Great General would appear here, Lin Yue felt it might be related to him. After all, the moment he saw the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army, he knew that Su Kai, sent by Fusu, must have had an ulterior motive.

It was even very likely a trap, using his White Horse Righteous Cavalry as bait, following the strategy of 'if the enemy doesn't come to me, I will go to the enemy!'

Along the way, attracting nearly a million Xiongnu Cavalry Soldier, ultimately to annihilate them here in one fell swoop!

Although being used was a bit unpleasant, he had already prepared for it. Because Wei Liang and Pan Feng had two hundred thousand Xiongnu people under their command, he was the most suitable bait in the Great Wall Legion. He had already mentally prepared for these things.

Furthermore, even if he didn't want to see Fusu, he still had to go to the Encampment because A Rong urgently needed treatment.

He had heard before that even the Eunuch's castration was not without danger, and the mortality rate was not low, some saying 40%, some 60%. But one clearly documented instance occurred during the Tianshun era of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Ruan Rang, the Eunuch guarding Huguang and Guizhou, once carefully selected 1,565 captured Miao children, intending to castrate them and present them to the court.

However, 329 children eventually died from pain or illness, a mortality rate of nearly 20%.

Most of them died from failed castration surgeries or post-operative complications that took them from this world.

As a result, Ruan Rang had to temporarily purchase more children locally to make up the difference. Although cruel, it also confirmed the fact of the excessively high mortality rate.

And A Rong, temporarily missing that part, if not treated promptly, could become infected or develop complications, which could be dangerous.

Therefore, he had to go to the Encampment quickly, without delay.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue led the Army galloping towards the rear Encampment, their warhorses kicking up a cloud of dust. In just half an incense stick's time, they reached the Encampment!

At the Encampment gate, Lin Yue saw Pan Feng, who had stayed behind, waiting there!

“My Lord!” Pan Feng cupped his hands and smiled. Suddenly, he saw Xing Daorong being carried on a warhorse, his expression changed, and he asked, “My Lord, what happened to A Rong?”

“He lost his root, but he should not be in mortal danger,” Lin Yue sighed, carrying Xing Daorong on his back, and said.

“That’s good, that’s good, as long as he’s not in mortal danger,” Pan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he suddenly shouted, “What? A Rong lost his root?!”

This startled shout attracted the attention of countless Soldiers outside the Encampment, who all looked in their direction!

Seeing this, Lin Yue said, “No time to lose, let’s go in quickly.”

“Understood!” Pan Feng took Xing Daorong, carrying him on his own back.

Then he ran wildly into the Encampment:

“Military doctor! Military doctor! Where is the military doctor!

Quickly save my brother!”
