noon, Xue's family sent someone to Xuelin Manor. Mu Yinghua was unavailable so Zhang Liyang came out instead.For the whole afternoon, Zhang Liyang was discussing matters with the Xue family's visitor...Boiling blood splattered out, then quickly froze into icy shards in the cold north wind.
The sword in his hand had long since been hacked into a blunt edge. Zhang Liyang directly threw away the sword in his hand. With his skill of severing gold and jade, combined with his own Severing Gold and Jade technique, he transformed his palms into blades and slashed towards all directions!
Most of the light cavalry were clad in leather jackets, with only a few officers wearing armor.
But whether it is leather armor or iron armor, under the double strike of cutting and breaking jade, death's outcome cannot be stopped.
"Kill!"
At this moment, Zhang Liyang's eyes were bloodshot, and his face contorted into a ferocious grimace.
The continuous killing drove Zhang Liyang to a state of near madness. This was the first time Zhang Liyang had killed so recklessly, and it was also the first time he had been so insane!
With the Five Emperors Turning Sutra and almost ten realms of cultivation, Zhang Liyang facing a hundred cavalrymen was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Under his sharp fangs and claws, the sheep could only wail in fear awaiting death!
Bang!
The white light was cold and sharp. With a single palm strike, the long spear shattered into pieces, the break clean and smooth as a mirror. The force didn't diminish; the palm continued its attack, tearing through the armor of Tan Dian's ironclad suit before breaking his skin, muscles, and even bone!
Whew!
A biting wind howled, the fierce battlefield now silent save for Zhang Liyang, who stood alone amidst the corpses, gasping for breath.
The cold wind seeped through the cracks in his torn clothes, quieting the blood that was boiling almost to the point of combustion within Zhang Liyang. It also slowly pulled him back from the brink of madness.
The bloodshot in his eyes dissipated. Zhang Liyang smelled the pungent scent of blood rising into the sky and glanced at his own palms, which were now completely stained red with blood. His face twitched several times in succession.
"To survive in this bloody and barbaric world, I have to adapt!"
In a low murmur, Zhang Liyang gathered the spears, then the steeds, and hurried them towards his main force.
He still couldn't stop, he had to go snipe Tamma's other troops. Besides completing the system task, Zhang Liyang himself knew that on this barren land, his own people were no match for Tamma's thousands of cavalry.
The impact of thousands of cavalry was immense, nearly unstoppable on the open plains. The only thing that could halt them were the fortified cities.
I don't know how Yuanli is doing.
Zhang Liyang and Yuan Li are acting independently.
On this side is Zhang Liyang alone, while on the other side Yuan Li leads his cavalry and outmaneuvers Tamu's large force.
You don't need to directly clash with the towers, just restrain them so their main force doesn't move too fast and allow other infantry to quickly escape the battlefield.
Soon Zhang Liyang met up with Yuan Li. Fortunately, Yuan Li had always remembered Zhang Liyang's orders and had not confronted Tamu's main force head-on. He had always stayed outside of Tamu's main force, and in the process, he had eliminated several waves of Tamu's scouts.
"Sir, we have followed your orders. When they advance, we retreat. When they halt, we harass them. I estimate they are now thoroughly confused."
"Good job."
The combat strategies of our ancestors from past lives, when applied to this world, are still remarkably powerful.
With the one hundred war horses Zhang Liyang brought, Yuan Li and his men did not take them to the rear infantry, but instead distributed them among themselves, allowing some of them to have two horses each.
The greatly improved mobility allows Yuanli's guerrilla tactics to be even more thorough, and also makes Tamu much more aggressive.
As for Zhang Liyang, under the same circumstance of two-person mounted combat, his nearly invincible five hundred spearmen made him like a mobile fortress, pouring madly into Tamu's troops!
Here, Zhang Liyang looked at the numbers constantly jumping upward in the system with joy. Far away in Feilong City, a hundred miles away, Cai Ning was also in a very good mood.
Although it was already midnight, Cai Ning had just finished working, but she didn't feel too tired. Instead, she was full of energy.
As the de facto ruler, he was like an emperor in private. In Feilong City, Cai Ning's words were almost as good as imperial edicts.
Especially whenever Cai Ning made a decision, Fei Long City would be able to give Cai Ning feedback very quickly, whether the feedback was good or bad. This feeling made Cai Ning addicted to it.
"Master, the meal is ready."
Upon seeing Cai Ning's return, a maid stepped forward to report.
"Well, bring it all out then. And another pot of warm wine."
Following Cai Ning's instructions, three or four plates of hot dishes were brought up by the attendants.
Only Cai Ning, who was simply sitting at the table, did not notice that a glimmer of ferocity flashed in the eyes of one attendant who had lowered his head slightly.
As the attendant approached Cai Ning, a cold light flashed in his hand holding the tray. A dagger appeared and, in the blink of an eye, plunged towards Cai Ning's chest.
You damned thing, go die!
Boom!
Red dust flew everywhere, but the sharp dagger was unable to penetrate Cai Ning's clothes after it pierced through. From the ripped fabric, one could faintly see that underneath his clothes, Cai Ning wore a layer of armor!
"There's an assassin, protect the lord!"
Cai Ning wasn't without guards, but the incident happened so suddenly that they didn't have time to react.
At the shouts of the guards, a large number of people ran over from outside.
As the right minister of rites and the city magistrate of Flying Dragon City, he had many guards around him who were not only numerous but also very powerful.
Seeing the crowd surging around him and the crossbows clutched in their hands, Bai Fuhuan knew he didn't have much time left. If he didn't leave now, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
Qi and blood circulated, Bai Fuhuan leapt out of the room while simultaneously striking Cai Ning's chest with a palm.
Revenge for one's father is a debt that must be repaid, so this palm strike delivered to Bai Huan was incredibly forceful. Even with an arrow pointed at him, he would still deliver this blow.
Bang!
At the crucial moment, Cai Ning was pulled back by the arriving guards. Although he was still struck in the chest and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, judging from his faint breath, Cai Ning did not die immediately.
Seeing that Cai Ning hadn't died on the spot, Bai Fuhuan was extremely unwilling. However, he also knew that if he didn't leave now, it would be difficult to escape.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, a large contingent of guards who had received the news had assembled. A multitude of bows and crossbows were already strung and aimed at the figure that emerged from outside.
"Brother, over here!"
In the darkness, a voice rang out, and two figures wielding swords suddenly burst into the guards.
The sudden attack coupled with overwhelming force caused chaos among the guards. Facing their own comrades, they were afraid of causing harm and held back their arrows, watching helplessly as the three assailants worked together to escape the city lord's mansion.
"What are you still standing there for, hurry up and chase after him!"
The Commander of the Guard's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "And also, ride fast and inform Princess and General He!"know!"Zhang Liyang's eyes narrowed, his figure flickering as he landed on the surface of the river. He then took slow steps towards the person opposite him."Bold!" Seeing that Zhang Liyang came alone,...
