The Huwei Army that Tao Yuan had cultivated was battle-hardened, a renowned elite force in southwest Yang Province.
However, facing Tiegu Sect’s wolf cavalry, they were completely helpless.
This was very normal.
Although the Huwei Army was well-equipped and mostly sixth or seventh-rank Wutu in strength, the Wolf Cavalry Hall members were all Wushi, and high-ranking ones at that!
The previous strength test showed that without any martial technique enhancement, their full burst was all around 45,000 jin.
Combined with Hurricane Wolves and equipment like the Overlord Spears, one wolf cavalryman could easily take on ten Huwei Army soldiers!
Jun Changxiao dared to send a thousand people to clash head-on with thirty thousand enemy troops because he knew their strength and equipment absolutely suppressed them. Otherwise, he would have honestly defended the city and let them attack instead.
Thud thud thud!
Thud thud thud!
The Huwei Army didn’t lose formation because their defensive line was torn—many soldiers quickly closed the net, surrounding the charging “spear” from all sides.
Seeing this, Tao Yuan relaxed and said, “Surrounded by the iron bucket formation, how can a mere thousand people leave alive!”
The wolf cavalry’s strength surprised him.
But ultimately they were few in number. Once trapped in layer upon layer of encirclement, they’d just be targets.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Zhong Yi led the team turning their spear point, charging toward the area where the cavalry had just converged. Because of their great strength and excellent equipment, they were practically unstoppable!
“Puchi!”
“Puchi!”
More Huwei Army cavalry were knocked from their horses!
Soon, the Wolf Cavalry Hall members forcefully killed their way out of the encirclement!
During the process, the enemy forces naturally counterattacked.
But although long spears and lances could stab their targets, they were blocked by the solid iron shields.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
A dozen Huwei Army soldiers held long sabers, channeling spiritual energy into the blades, creating saber light that slashed viciously.
“Ding! Ding!”
The Tiegu Sect disciple under siege suddenly swung his Overlord Spear, directly breaking several long sabers in front, but couldn’t guard his back!
Tao Yuan sneered.
This was the consequence of rashly charging in!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Six or seven long sabers all struck the Tiegu Sect disciple’s back, immediately producing clanging sounds.
Tao Yuan’s smile froze.
The Huwei Army soldiers who had slashed were also dumbfounded!
“Die!”
Swish—
That Tiegu Sect disciple, after withstanding several blows, turned around and swept out, directly blasting away the stunned soldiers!
On another side.
Many other members were also attacked from both front and back!
But whether sabers, spears, swords, or halberds, whether axes, battle-axes, hooks, or forks, none could harm them in the slightest. Instead, they counterattacked and beat the enemy senseless!
Why was this?
Because they wore soft silk armor, impervious to blades and spears!
The Wolf Cavalry Hall members were still giving the Huwei Army face by not activating their seal barriers. Otherwise, no matter how they attacked, they couldn’t get close.
“Kill!”
Zhong Yi roared furiously. The Hurricane Wolf beneath him went full speed, his Overlord Spear continuously swinging wildly on both sides. Everywhere he passed, enemy soldiers were all swept away!
This was definitely a tiger general!
Boom!
Boom!
The Wolf Cavalry Hall members followed their commander closely, still maintaining the straight snake formation, finally killing their way out of the encirclement!
The muscles on Tao Yuan’s face had already stiffened.
Surrounded by his own iron bucket formation, the thousand Tiegu Sect disciples could still kill their way out—absolutely crushing to his self-esteem!
However.
The good show had only just begun!
Under Xue Rengui’s waving battle flag, Zhong Yi turned the spear point again, leading his members to kill back in with invincible might, quite reminiscent of Zhao Zilong of Changshan—seven times in and seven times out at Long Slope!
“Awoo!”
“Awoo!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Hurricane Wolves galloped forth, using their strong bodies to knock warhorses flying.
The Wolf Cavalry Hall members riding on them frequently thrust their Overlord Spears, streams of spear light flashing, knocking down surrounding enemy soldiers one by one!
Until Zhong Yi led his people out of the chaotic army again, of the twenty thousand cavalry, four or five thousand had already died or been injured!
Tao Yuan was completely dumbfounded!
His carefully crafted elite force that had won third place in the legion competition was being harvested like weeds before a thousand Tiegu Sect disciples!
Compared to any force in Qingyang Commandery, the Huwei Army could absolutely crush them, but facing the Wolf Cavalry Hall, they were completely inadequate.
This was like a Wutu barehanded fighting against a well-equipped and powerful Wushi.
Forget harming him—touching his robe would be impressive!
Some readers believe battlefields must have deaths.
True.
War is merciless, battlefields are cruel, casualties are inevitable.
But when the Wolf Cavalry Hall appeared with invincible might, if there were casualties, it would negate all of Sect Leader Jun’s efforts during this period.
Moreover.
With Jun Changxiao’s personality, he absolutely wouldn’t fight battles without confidence. Daring to oppose thirty thousand troops with a thousand people, he definitely had confidence.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Zhong Yi led the team charging again!
This time they changed to triangular formation. The members put away their Overlord Spears and brought out Cold Edge Swords!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Hurricane Wolves galloped swiftly, fast as wind!
The Cold Edge Swords, enhanced with spiritual energy, immediately flashed dazzling sword light, mercilessly harvesting the Huwei Army wolf cavalry before them like “wheat”!
After this battle, losses reached two thousand!
After several charging rounds, Huwei Army casualties climbed steadily, already reaching half their number!
Tao Yuan absolutely wouldn’t allow them to continue killing like this. He furiously waved the battle flag. Ten thousand infantry charged forward in great strides, holding special long weapons with curved hooks at the top!
These were hooked spears, used to counter cavalry.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Ten thousand infantry raised their hooked spears and extended them toward the ground!
“Idiots,” Jun Changxiao said flatly.
“Awoo!”
“Awoo!”
Zhong Yi led everyone charging again. Although they saw those odd-shaped weapons close to the ground that could potentially sweep wolf legs, he sneered and shouted, “Charge through!”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Hurricane Wolves accelerated, their speed increasing again!
Seeing this, ten thousand infantry immediately realized that if they tried to hook the legs of such fierce wolf beasts, they would definitely suffer tremendous impact!
Tao Yuan also realized this and urgently shouted, “Drop your weapons!”
Too late.
The extremely fast Hurricane Wolf pack arrived in the blink of an eye.
Their forelegs crashed hard into the hooks. Their tough bodies not only weren’t injured but directly shocked large numbers of soldiers flying!
From above, one could see the wolf cavalry like a flood—when they approached the infantry, they instantly shocked away a large area, also completely disrupting the formation!
Some Huwei Army soldiers were even trampled by Hurricane Wolves, their chests showing bloody holes!
A stomp from a mid-fifth or sixth-rank wolf beast—even a Wushi of the same fifth or sixth rank couldn’t withstand it, let alone a group of low-rank Wutu!
Kill!
Kill!
Shouts of killing shook the heavens, momentum like a rainbow!
On this battlefield, the Wolf Cavalry Hall wasn’t the only one performing. Xiao Zuiji in the watchtower was also continuously shooting, cavalry being picked off one by one.
Whoosh!
The bullet flew out again, accurately hitting a soldier in the chest.
“Ahahahaha!”
Li Shangtian said excitedly, “Snake-bro, I hit one, I hit one!”
Viper’s mouth twitched.
You hit one, but do you know how many magazine-loads of bullets you used!
“Try again!”
Li Shangtian suppressed his excitement, raised the Type 88 sniper rifle, locked onto a cavalryman, and after brief calibration decisively pulled the trigger!
Whoosh—
The light bullet exploded forth!
But it didn’t hit the intended target—instead hitting Zhong Yi’s back as he charged forward.
Li Shangtian: “…”
Viper: “…”
After killing a soldier, Zhong Yi turned around, grimacing and roaring, “Don’t hit your own people!”
Whoosh!
Just then, another light bullet shot forth, passing before his eyes and directly headshot a charging cavalryman behind him!
