48: The wind is strong and the wind is strong
Outside the border wall.
"Abaolin, was it always Li Ke this?" an exotic youth asked.
"Li Ke what?" Abaolin, a burly man in simple armor, was resting with his eyes closed. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and asked, confused.
"Don't you think it's too quiet?"
Quiet to the point of being strange?" the exotic youth asked.
"If it wasn't quiet, wouldn't it attract the attention of the border army?" Abaolin sneered, clearly dismissive of the youth's suggestion.
The youth remained silent. After all, it was his first time here, just to see the world, and all decisions still had to be made by the fool in front of him.
The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence. At this moment, a faint, almost inaudible sound of hooves came. Though small, for people who lived in the wilderness all year round, it was unmistakable!
The sound of hooves gradually became clearer. Abaolin's expression tightened, and he drew his horse saber, holding it across his horse!
"Be on guard!" Abaolin whispered.
Although he had seemed unconcerned just now, he now felt that something was wrong!
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
A black steed, as if dissolve in the night, galloped towards them.
"My Lord, there are cavalry, Great Qin's cavalry!" Zhao Bo shouted loudly.
Everyone's minds buzzed as if struck by a thunderbolt on flat ground!
"Retreat quickly!" Abaolin turned his horse around, and with a single saber strike, slapped the hindquarters of the horse beneath the youth beside him!
The steed beneath the youth cried out in pain and charged straight out!
In an instant, a thousand cavalrymen were in chaos!
Abaolin watched the youth charge out and breathed a sigh of relief. He was the leader's most favored son and absolutely could not be harmed! If he were to die here, none of them would be able to return.
So, for his safety, even if all their men and horses died here, it would be worth it!
Meanwhile, in the shadows, a cavalryman quietly followed.
"Thieving general, don't run!" Just as Abaolin was directing the retreat, an angry roar came from the shadows, terrifying the exotic cavalry even more. Abaolin was shocked! Following the sound, he saw countless White Horse cavalry pursuing them!
The already panicked exotic cavalry immediately disintegrated, scattering Li Ke birds and fleeing in all directions!
"Warriors! Follow me to meet the enemy!" Abaolin roared with all his might!
He understood that at this moment, he could not flee. A desperate fight still offered a glimmer of hope, but once he fled, he would face a crushing defeat and endless pursuit!
In a wolf pack, the alpha wolf determines the survival of the pack, and he, Abaolin, was the alpha wolf of this team! Abaolin took a deep breath, went against the tide, and charged his horse to meet the enemy!
Abaolin could only barely make out the enemy's white warhorses, which were extremely conspicuous in the darkness.
And these thousand White Horses were truly a grand gesture! The newcomers were clearly up to no good!
But at this moment, there was no other option but to charge!
"Kill!" Abaolin shouted!
Sure enough, many exotic cavalrymen stopped their panicked warhorses. Inspired by him, they followed their alpha wolf with grim expressions and launched their charge!
"Shoot!" Lin Yue raised his Miao Blade, signaling to fire arrows!
Both sides fired simultaneously. In the darkness, there was no aiming, it was purely by feel, so the hit rate was not high.
But some people still fell silently in the darkness after being hit by arrows, and those behind them quickly filled their places.
Compared to the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, the exotic cavalry undoubtedly suffered a great loss.
They were completely suppressed in terms of warhorses, numbers, and morale, and their equipment was vastly different. The most important difference was their armor. Most of their armor was made of animal hides or simple armor. After being hit by an arrow, they could only pray for the blessing of the heavenly god Tengri.
But the armor of the cavalry on the other side, unless a vital spot was hit, would not be much affected!
After a volley of arrows, the two sides grew closer and closer, so they simply abandoned their exchanges of fire and probing.
Both sides silently put away their longbows and pulled out their melee weapons!
"Kill!" Abaolin shouted with all his might, ignoring all his worries. At this point, he could only grit his teeth and charge forward!
"Kill!" Lin Yue drew his Miao Blade, raised it above his head, and shouted similarly.
The blade glowed with a chilling light that pierced the darkness!
When two armies meet, the brave one wins!
At this moment, morale was paramount!
Thirty paces, ten paces, five paces.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy had appeared before them!
The two sides clashed, blood splattered, and warhorses neighed!
...Everyone has to go through this stage, seeing a mountain and wanting to know what's behind it.
Actually, there's nothing special. Looking back, you'll find that this side is better.
Li Ke was the same. When he climbed over the broken border wall, he found that his brother had not deceived him!
Li Ke was now in a dilemma, pursued by skirmishers from behind, and a team of cavalrymen grinning mockingly at him from the front.
"Brother Li, this..." Another head appeared at the border wall. That person swallowed hard and asked with difficulty.
"If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move. At worst, I'll be forced offline, which is a good time to rest." Li Ke said calmly. He had been a bit nervous, but now facing a certain death situation, he had somewhat come to terms with it.
As about thirty people gradually gathered on the broken border wall, Li Mu finally spoke.
"Draw your bows!" Li Mu raised his right hand and said coldly.
Instantly, countless bows and arrows were aimed at them. Even though Li Ke had come to terms with it, facing such a scene, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
But as a guild leader, how could he let his subordinate players look down on him? He took a deep breath, then used all his strength to shout: "Remember, I am your grandpa Li Ke, I f*ck your grandma!"
Li Mu frowned upon hearing this. Just as he was about to make a move, a figure rode up on horseback, heading straight for his position, and whispered softly in his ear. A few breaths later, Li Mu glanced at Li Ke, then quietly retreated.
Under the guidance of that person, he headed straight for the frontier. Although he didn't understand why the Military Marquis had sent him a message, he soon felt relieved when he thought about it. These refugees were springing up Li Ke mushrooms after rain, too many to capture. How could they be as valuable as exotic cavalry?
Thinking that the Military Marquis was currently fighting with them, and that he might not even get a share if he arrived late, he gradually sped up!
Li Ke, who had been prepared to go offline, suddenly noticed the Great Qin cavalry who had quietly blended into the night, and for a moment, he didn't understand what had happened.
"Hahaha!" Li Ke simply stopped thinking about it. As the saying goes, if you survive a great disaster, good fortune will surely follow.
He looked at the less than two-meter-high dirt slope, jumped, and then called out to everyone to jump down: "Riches and honor are right before our eyes, Brothers, follow me!"
Then the players jumped off the border wall one after another. Li Ke turned and grabbed a player, asking anxiously: "Did you record what just happened?"
That player shook his head: "Guild Leader, what was the situation just now? My pants almost got wet. How could I think of recording a video for you!"
Li Ke felt a pang of disappointment. How handsome he had been just now, why hadn't it been recorded? If that heroic moment of his had been uploaded online, wouldn't players be rushing to join his guild!
But Li Ke still said to that player with a relaxed expression: "Look at you, you coward. I'm telling you, I wasn't scared at all just now. Small stuff."
"Yes, yes, yes. That's why you're the guild leader!" The player said with admiration. Li Ke's actions just now had truly deeply shocked him.
Li Ke smiled and shouted:
"Brothers, let's make a run for it!"
Then he disappeared into the night.
