Chapter 28 Arrival
Chapter 28 Arrival
"Ancient Ancestor? Hmph! Even if your ancestors came, it wouldn't make a difference!"
Dian Wei, upon hearing the dying words of the Blood Barbarian Ancestor, spoke disdainfully.
"Let's go! Once we deal with them, Zhenman Pass should be over!"
Zhao Yun said to Dian Wei.
Dian Wei nodded.
Then, the two tore through the void and left.
Zhenman Pass.
Two hundred thousand cavalrymen have arrived here and have already launched their charge.
The charge of 200,000 cavalry was a scene of utter devastation. They charged directly into the Blood Barbarian Dynasty's army, impaling some Blood Barbarian soldiers in their path with spears, and turning others into a bloody mist by being smashed by their mounts...
"what happened!"
Gu Hanhai, who was fighting Chen Cong, sensed the scene below and his expression changed drastically.
Upon seeing the endless cavalry, his expression grew even more grim. He looked at Chen Cong and said with a dark face, "General Chen, what a brilliant scheme! Two hundred thousand cavalry, that's all the wealth your Great Qin has! You're really willing to give it up!"
Chen Cong, sitting opposite him, was completely bewildered by what he said. Even he didn't know where these cavalrymen came from, but seeing Gu Hanhai's expression, he decided not to explain...
"Heh! General Gu, our cavalry has arrived; you have no chance..."
Chen Cong sneered and spoke.
"Hmph! No matter how strong your cavalry is, they only number two hundred thousand! Our dynasty has mobilized a massive army of five million. We could overwhelm them with sheer numbers. As for you, without these two hundred thousand cavalry, you would probably suffer a severe blow!"
Gu Hanhai said in a cold voice.
As the two were speaking, 200,000 cavalrymen had already penetrated deep into the heart of the Blood Barbarian Dynasty's army, slaughtering all the Blood Barbarian Dynasty soldiers along the way. This charge had taken away at least hundreds of thousands of Blood Barbarian Dynasty soldiers...
Seeing this scene from mid-air, Gu Hanhai's pupils contracted. His divine sense enveloped the cavalry, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face: "How is this possible? These cavalrymen are all at the late Foundation Establishment stage. This is simply not a force that a dynasty could possess..."
Hearing Gu Hanhai's words, Chen Cong also looked at the cavalry. He had been so focused on Gu Hanhai that he hadn't had the extra spiritual sense to check on the cavalry below. Now, seeing Gu Hanhai's state, he was clearly quite shaken. He wanted to see what kind of cavalry could make the great general of the Blood Barbarian Dynasty lose his composure like this...
Upon seeing this, he was utterly shocked, and involuntarily uttered, "How is this possible?"
This is not the army of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty absolutely does not have an army like this. Putting aside the 200,000 late-stage Foundation Establishment cavalry, the mounts alone, which also possess late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, are something the Qin Dynasty could not possibly cultivate...
However, another question arises: if these cavalrymen are not from Qin, then why did they come from Qin territory...?
"kill!"
The White Horse Cavalry and the Imperial Guards cavalry shattered the Blood Barbarian Dynasty's battle formation, then turned and launched another charge...
"No, this can't go on. If we don't take action, our five million-strong army will perish here..."
Gu Hanhai, looking anxious in the sky, scanned his surroundings, trying to find traces of the Emperor Ancestor, but he was ultimately disappointed...
Unable to find the Nascent Soul Ancestor, Gu Hanhai shouted loudly, "Liu Quan!"
"General!"
Liu Quan flew out from below and said respectfully.
"Lead the army to retreat!"
Gu Hanhai said in a deep voice.
"Here!"
Liu Quan's expression brightened with joy. He had been directing his troops in battle against the 200,000 cavalrymen below, and he knew better than anyone how terrifying those cavalrymen were. The Blood Barbarian Dynasty's army was no match for them, and even Golden Core experts were surrounded and killed by those cavalrymen in a peculiar formation...
He felt that even if he went in, he would probably only be facing certain death.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Liu Quan channeled his spiritual power to spread his voice throughout the entire battlefield.
The Blood Barbarian Dynasty soldiers, as if granted a pardon, hastily began their retreat. Fortunately, the Blood Barbarian Dynasty army was relatively disciplined and did not suffer a complete rout...
"Kill! His Highness has ordered that not a single member of the Blood Barbarian Dynasty escape..."
One of the White Horse Cavalry generals shouted.
"kill!"
Two hundred thousand cavalrymen spurred their mounts and charged wildly toward the Blood Barbarian Dynasty soldiers.
Thousands of spirit boats were slowly descending from the sky, preparing to let the Blood Barbarian Dynasty soldiers board. However, there were too many Blood Barbarian Dynasty soldiers, and after being pursued by the White Horse Cavalry and the Feathered Forest Cavalry, their previous formation had become scattered...
As the sound of hooves drew closer, the panic among the Blood Barbarian Dynasty soldiers grew ever stronger...
"Ah! Don't block me! I don't want to die!"
A soldier from the Blood Barbarian Dynasty, who had been blocked from advancing, gradually lost his respect for military discipline due to the fear of death. In the end, he actually drew his weapon and swung it at the soldiers blocking his way.
His move was like opening Pandora's box; more and more soldiers began drawing their swords and attacking their comrades, and a retreat turned into a complete rout...
No one wants to die, and to live, they must board the spirit ship. But there are too many people; the spirit ship simply can't hold them all. So, since I don't want to die, the only option is for you to die...
"Don't panic, evacuate in an orderly manner!"
Seeing this, Liu Quan felt a surge of resentment and shouted loudly.
But now nobody listens to him; the chaos persists, and the fighting continues...
Boom~~
The White Horse Cavalry and the Imperial Guards once again charged into the Blood Barbarian Dynasty's army. This time, the two cavalry units split into countless smaller groups, each with at least a thousand men, and dispersed to kill the enemy...
A military formation of a thousand late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators could even put up a fight against a Nascent Soul expert...
"what!"
"what!"
After spreading out, the White Horse Cavalry and the Imperial Guards' elite cavalry became even faster in their killing spree, leaving no Blood Barbarian Dynasty soldier standing in their wake...
Gu Hanhai's eyes were already red. These were all the fine sons of his Blood Barbarian Dynasty! Now they were being slaughtered like vegetables. How could he not be furious...?
"Ah~~"
Gu Hanhai roared and was about to go down to stop the cavalry.
"General Gu, aren't you underestimating me...?"
But Chen Cong wouldn't let him have his way and directly stood in front of him.
"Step aside!"
Gu Hanhai's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted in a deep voice.
"I will not yield!"
Chen Cong showed no weakness.
"Then go die!"
Gu Hanhai attacked Chen Cong directly, his moves devoid of any skill, a purely life-or-death fighting style.
For a time, Chen Cong could only defend passively, but Gu Hanhai was still unable to do anything to him.
.........
"This Chen Cong is quite a talent; no wonder he has been able to guard Zhenman Pass for so many years!"
Not far from the battlefield, Ying Chen stood there, watching the battle unfold in the distance, and spoke.
Lu Bing, standing beside him, nodded and said, "The Chen family are indeed rare and loyal men! They are many times better than those in the imperial court..."
Ying Chen nodded in deep agreement.
