127: Harvest

The sky gradually darkened.

This was the border area of the Northern Region.

The war between Sheng Country and the Xiongnu had lasted for decades.

Now, it was escalating.

On the boundless great grassland.

A group of cavalry riding through the night were like wild beasts, their bodies burly and strong!

"Zuo Xian Wang, we've raided Beixue Prefecture several times already, shouldn't we stop?"

At the front of the team, a big man with a string of wolf teeth around his neck asked the man beside him, who was wearing a mink coat, with some worry.

Leaning against the vast grassland, although they could safely retreat every time they raided a Sheng Country City.

But specifically harvesting in one place was clearly unsafe.

"Hahaha, what are you afraid of?" The man glanced at the general beside him: "Don't worry, the First Prince of Sheng Country sent me a message yesterday. As long as we don't launch a frontal war, we can plunder freely in this Beixue Prefecture! No one can do anything to us!"

"First Prince of Sheng Country?" The general was startled: "Why would he provide us with information? Can we trust him?"

Regarding the general's question, Zuo Xian Wang couldn't help but sneer: "Their Sheng Country Royal Family is currently undergoing a succession struggle. The current situation is far more brutal than we imagine."

"The First Prince wants to use our hands to eliminate a certain Prince who is guarding Beixue Prefecture."

While speaking, Zuo Xian Wang clicked his tongue in admiration: "Those people from Sheng Country like to play these underhanded games. However, what we plunder is ours, no matter how he uses us. Bringing back hundreds of women and a hundred carts of meat to the Royal Court each time is a hundred benefits and no harm to us!"

"Zuo Xian Wang is wise!" Hearing this, the generals on both sides were no longer uneasy.

"Let's go, we'll go to Seven Lian Town not far from Qiushan City tonight." Raising his horsewhip, a cruel smile appeared on Zuo Xian Wang's face.

In the entire Beixue Prefecture, there were hundreds, if not a thousand, Towns like Seven Lian Town.

Originally, they would have been wary of the Soldier of Qiushan City, but now, because of the First Prince's letter, they didn't need to be wary at all!

As long as they didn't openly provoke those City, these small Towns were completely their granaries.

Three thousand men, like a pack of wolves in the dark night, moved extremely fast.

...

Qiushan City.

City Lord's Mansion.

Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing and the Beixue Prefecture Lord, Li Chen, both showed a hint of unease.

"Urgent report!"

"Three thousand Xiongnu have appeared outside Seven Lian Town!"

The message conveyed by the guard instantly made Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing and Li Chen stand up.

"They really came!" Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing's eyes flashed with killing intent: "Lord Prefecture Lord, I can mobilize four thousand Soldier in Qiushan City!"

"The Emperor has issued an imperial decree, the Station City Soldier cannot be moved."

Li Chen took a deep breath: "What about the Fifth Prince? Only he is not bound by the imperial decree and can go save Seven Lian Town."

"Prince..." Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing pondered: "He had already mobilized troops and ambushed them in Seven Lian Town before."

"Huh? The Prince already guessed that the Xiongnu would go to Seven Lian Town?" Li Chen was a little startled.

Then he thought of the key point: "The Fifth Prince went to ambush the Xiongnu, so how many Soldier does he have?"

"This subordinate does not know." Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing shook his head slightly.

"This is bad!" Li Chen felt a strong sense of unease.

Now that the Station City Soldier could not be mobilized, where could Sheng Changge find Soldier to fight against the Xiongnu?!

...

...

Seven Lian Town.

When the three thousand Xiongnu arrived here, they were all startled!

Only to see.

At the very front of this Town, figures riding white horses, like a faint light in the Darkness, were hard to ignore!

This Army seemed to have been waiting here for a long time!

"Didn't they say the Resident City Army wouldn't interfere?" Zuo Xian Wang's thick eyebrows slowly furrowed when he saw these cavalry.

"Zuo Xian Wang, these Soldier don't seem to be from Beixue Prefecture."

The subordinate beside him had good observation skills.

The opponent's troops were similar in number to their three thousand, all wearing white robes and carrying bows and spears.

They had never seen an Army dressed like this in Beixue Prefecture.

"Zuo Xian Wang, what should we do now?!" Another subordinate had already realized that something unexpected had happened.

"Go." Taking a deep breath, Zuo Xian Wang understood that facing the same number of cavalry, even if they could break through the opponent's blockade, some people would die, which was not what he wanted to see.

Anyway, there was still plenty of time.

Leaving here, they could find any village or Town later and still plunder.

"Retreat!"

Zuo Xian Wang turned his horse's head, and the Soldier behind him also turned.

Outside Seven Lian Town, in a carriage, Sheng Changge secretly shook his head: "It's too late to leave now."

Just as the group of Xiongnu were planning to leave, the large group of White Horse Cavalry at the forefront of Seven Lian Town instantly dispersed.

Like a large net, they formed a circle and enveloped the Xiongnu!

"Are these Sheng Country people crazy?" Seeing the White Horse Cavalry approaching, Zuo Xian Wang felt it was unbelievable.

In his opinion, they didn't attack proactively not because they couldn't win, but because they didn't want to fight!

One must know.

Every one of their Army officers and Soldier had an average combat power of two Grade A!

Although there were only three thousand people, they could withstand ten thousand Sheng Country Soldier!

"Ridiculous, these Soldier are dressed flashy, but they are just reckless fools."

"Warriors! If these silver-speared wax heads of Sheng Country want to fight, we will fight them! Let them see the strength of our Lietu clan!"

Zuo Xian Wang raised the long sword in his hand, his voice like thunder.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

All the Xiongnu pulled their reins and turned their bodies.

Looking at the white-robed figures charging at them, these Xiongnu grinned ferociously and spurred their horses forward!

Frontal confrontation between two armies was their strong suit.

They had already lost count of how many times they had shattered the Army formations of the Sheng Country Army with their iron-like formations!

However, just as these Xiongnu were approaching one group of white-robed figures.

The Soldier riding white horses stopped their horses, and each one drew their bows!

"Not good!"

Zuo Xian Wang's eyebrows twitched.

The next moment.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Arrows poured down like a torrential rain!

Three hundred Lietu tribesmen, fifty meters away, were instantly engulfed by the rain of arrows!

All of this happened too quickly, in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, one-tenth of the Soldier were gone!

For a moment.

The entire battlefield quieted down a bit.

Zuo Xian Wang stared with wide eyes, he swore he had never seen an Army that could shoot arrows to such an extent.

High accuracy, long range, fast speed.

"Zuo Xian Wang, what should we do?!"

The officers and Soldier behind them all looked at the Zuo Xian Wang of their tribe.

After all, their troops were three thousand, not thirty thousand.

The opponent's terrifying rain of arrows simply could not be broken through!

"Retreat, ignore these guys." Zuo Xian Wang quickly made a decision.

It must be said, his decision was wise.

But just as Sheng Changge said, it was already too late! A wise decision would only allow these Xiongnu to live a little longer.

As the more than two thousand Lietu tribesmen fled on horseback in a panic.

The three thousand White Horse Righteous Cavalry behind them, like a large net, spread out while maintaining a distance from these Xiongnu!

When the cavalry net belonging to the White Horse Righteous Cavalry was completely spread out, one by one, the Soldier on the rapidly running white horses drew their bows!

Every one of the cavalry built by Ye Tian was a master archer.

In the history of Ye Tian's World, the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, this light cavalry, was an Army that made the invaders from outside the Great Wall tremble with fear.

They were the nightmare of the Xiongnu!

"Swish! Swish!"

Arrows shot out in volleys.

The Xiongnu, who were retreating with all their might, fell off their horses one by one!

At this moment.

Zuo Xian Wang finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

They couldn't run, the horses they were riding couldn't outrun these guys!

"Stop! Everyone follow me and break out!" Raising his saber, Zuo Xian Wang's voice was loud and clear.

Upon receiving this order, all the Xiongnu regrouped, and anger lingered on everyone's faces.

Between charging and running, nearly a thousand of them had died under the arrows of this White Horse Cavalry.

To reach this point, yet not even touch the opponent's people, was truly frustrating!

"Break through their blockade!" At this moment, Zuo Xian Wang did not hesitate.

However, facing these charging Xiongnu, the White Horse Righteous Cavalry still drew their bows and arrows!

One round, two rounds, after two rounds of arrow rain, only a thousand Xiongnu remained.

But.

At this time, the Xiongnu grinned, their faces twisted into ferocious smiles.

They had charged into the formation of these weak Sheng Country people!

Even with a thousand men, from the moment the frontal confrontation began, all the Xiongnu were certain that they could completely turn the tide of the battle!

The Wolf God had given them strength, the strength to tear everything apart!

As this thought surfaced in the minds of all the Xiongnu.

A ordinary white-robed Soldier at the very front picked up the long spear at his waist.

"Boom!"

Crushing waves in the air, the white-robed Soldier casually pierced the chest of a Xiongnu as strong as an ox!

Combat power... three Grade A!

The White Horse Righteous Cavalry were just relatively stronger in archery and cavalry. Who said they were weak in close combat?

This was a harvest.

From beginning to end, it only took the time it takes for three sticks of incense to burn!
