337: The Modao Army is on the march!
Both Armies retreated simultaneously, leaving a path for the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry!
"Advance the barricades!
Archers, prepare!"
Su Jiao shouted at the top of his lungs!
Even though he knew this action would have little effect, he still didn't give up!
As he finished speaking, thousands of Soldiers suddenly surged out from behind Su Jiao. They gathered in groups of three to five, working together to move barricades to the front of the formation, quickly setting up three rows of them!
Yet, many of them, looking at the approaching Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry, were so terrified that their legs gave out, and they collapsed on the ground. Some Soldiers were helped back into the formation by their companions who still had strength, while others sat down blankly on the ground!
They could only watch as the Xiongnu's Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry rode towards them!
Although the sight of heavy cavalry charging was indeed chilling, at this moment, Su Jiao couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed!
Seeing this, Su Jiao quickly ran forward, stopping in front of a few people. Looking at the five Soldiers of the squad, all collapsed on the ground, he asked with a tight frown, "Which squad are you from?"
Upon seeing Su Jiao approach them, those few became even more terrified and stammered, unable to speak.
"After the great battle, don't let me catch you!" Su Jiao roared, then grabbed their collars one after another, throwing them back into the main formation!
At the same time, he silently prayed in his heart, "I hope we all live until the end of the great battle..."
Finally, after throwing the last Soldier, Su Jiao looked at the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry, realized they were less than three hundred paces from the Army, and ran back, simultaneously taking out his communication token and shouting, "Great General! This humble general, Su Jiao, requests fire support!"
Immediately, he leaped back to the front of the main formation and shouted to the Army behind him, who were ready with their bows:
"Shoot!"
Thousands of arrows flew, all targeting the Xiongnu's heavy armored cavalry!
Unfortunately, these crossbow bolts did not cause much damage to the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry.
The Qin Crossbow bolts, usually extremely sharp, now merely embedded themselves firmly in the Xiongnu heavy cavalry's armor, failing to inflict fatal wounds or even disrupt their charge!
Only a few heavy armored cavalry were hit and injured by crossbow bolts fired from ballistas, while most of the cavalry continued to charge, enduring the crossbow bolts which were like mere tickles to them!
"Bang!"
Giant stones from the sky tumbled over the Qin Army's formation from the rear, finally smashing heavily into the path of the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry's charge!
Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry fell in droves, but these losses were utterly insignificant for a hundred thousand Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry!
"Crown Prince, Chanyu orders you back to the Encampment!" Bu Sang roared, then continued to charge forward!
Modu was momentarily stunned by the words, but seeing that the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry was less than a hundred paces from the Qin Army, he relaxed. He ordered the Military General beside him to continue the attack, while he himself rode back alone.
After his injury, even a First-rate Military General like Su Jiao was difficult for him to handle, so he had no intention of being reckless, because he would not risk his own life.
The purpose of leaving his cavalry behind was for them to break through the Qin Army's formation one by one after the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry successfully cut through it!
Because once the Qin Army's infantry formation was broken up and cut into dozens or even hundreds of pieces, at that time, the previously invincible Qin Army would become like helpless yellow sheep on the prairie, with only death awaiting them!
Thinking of this, he rode his warhorse back without looking.
And the Golden-Armored Cavalry, moving in the opposite direction, easily knocked over the barricades, and their armored warhorses merely paused before continuing their charge!
"Kill!"
Bu Sang, leading the charge, slammed into the Qin Army's Encampment!
Su Jiao lunged forward to meet the enemy, but how could he, alone, stop the thousand Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry charging abreast at the very front!
At this moment, the Qin Army's archers had already put down their bows and crossbows, drawing their waist knives, ready to fight to the death!
The remaining more than ten thousand Qin Army heavy armored infantry stood at the very front, but they were still unable to withstand the charge of the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry!
Even if they were lucky enough to kill a Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalryman, the next moment they would be knocked to the ground by the ensuing heavy cavalry and trampled into a bloody pulp!
The right flank of the Qin Army's formation was broken in an instant!
The Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry advanced like a broken bamboo, and no one could stop them wherever they passed!
"Form up!"
Qin Soldiers gathered in groups of three to five, holding long spears to resist the assault of the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry, but the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry came one after another, killing all of them in a few charges!
After half an incense stick of time, of the sixty thousand Qin Army infantry here, only Su Jiao remained!
"Follow me and kill!" Bu Sang shouted excitedly. After they dealt with this Army, they would charge directly into the center of the Qin Army's main formation!
He wanted to slay the General, seize the banner, and completely defeat the Qin Army!
He led the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry in a charge, and when he saw the shield wall ahead, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. To think they could stop them with just a shield wall was simply a pipe dream!
In his opinion, this was merely the Qin Army's last-ditch struggle!
"Kill!" Bu Sang raised his golden saber, signaling the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry!
In his view, the Qin Army's defeat was sealed the moment they launched their attack!
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, the shield wall before them collapsed simultaneously!
Countless black heavy armored infantry appeared before their eyes, while the previous shield Soldiers retreated to reform the shield wall!
The black heavy armored infantry, holding ten-foot-long double-edged greatswords, stood in formation at the front!
A black-armored man, nine feet tall, leading the charge, roared:
"Advance to live, retreat to die!
Modao Army, follow me to meet the enemy!"
"Yes!" Thirty thousand Modao Army shouted in unison!
Then the first rank of the Modao Army charged forward under the leadership of the black-armored Military General!
The Modao Army collided head-on with the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry. The moment they met, the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry thrust their lances!
And the Modao Army simultaneously swung their Modao forward!
The thirty-jin Modao, wielded by the incredibly strong Modao Army, slashed towards the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry!
"Bang!"
The first rank of Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry, both rider and horse, shattered at the same moment!
The Modao Army, after slashing at the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry, did not pause at all. They swung their blades again, and the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry that followed were once again sent flying!
Bu Sang's eyes were wide open. He had never seen such a terrifying weapon, nor had he encountered such a bewildering situation!
When did the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry become so fragile? And when did the Qin Army infantry gain such strength? He had countless questions in his heart, but he had no time to think.
Because at this moment, an unprecedented sense of fear surged into his heart!
Before his eyes appeared a Qin General in black armor, over nine feet tall. That man, holding a terrifying greatsword, swung it at him with immense power!
"Boom!"
In a moment of desperation, Bu Sang parried with his spear, but to his surprise, his earth-rank middle-grade long spear and the Qin General's greatsword shattered simultaneously!
The remaining half of the Qin General's greatsword then struck his warhorse, and the warhorse's head beneath him exploded!
And he, in a state of shock and confusion, fell to the ground!
But this was far from over. The Qin General forcefully hurled the half-greatsword behind him, and the warhorse of a Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalryman, whose front hooves were already in the air, about to leap, was directly impaled!
Heavenly Strength!
Only this thought remained in his mind!
In his fear and confusion, the Qin General grabbed the half-blade of the Modao flying in mid-air, gripping it with one hand,
And plunged it downwards into his head!
Blood spurted upwards like a fountain, two feet high,
The blood in Li Siye's palm mixed with the colorful liquids gushing from Bu Sang's head, making him look like a demon god!
The Xiongnu First-rate Military General, the main General of the Golden-Armored Heavy Cavalry, Bu Sang, was killed in battle!
Li Siye released the half-blade, and Bu Sang slowly fell to the ground. Then Li Siye took out another Modao from his spatial treasure!
[heaven-rank divine weapon - Modao!]
Li Siye held the heaven-rank divine weapon that Lin Yue had given him in his hand and once again charged at the very front!
