Xia Shu thought for a bit and smiled faintly, "Maybe you can ask Princess Ding if the Black Cloud Cavalry is still accepting people."
Yun Ting's eyes lit up as he looked at the moon white figure who was talking to Murong Ting not far away. Xia Shu shook his head helplessly and turned to walk down the city tower as he said, "Go back and rest, don't forget that there is still a fierce battle tomorrow."
Yun Ting nodded indifferently, still hesitating whether or not he should ask Princess Ding. After all, not everyone had the chance to meet the master of the Black Cloud Cavalry. Looking at the gentle figure under the moonlight, Yun Ting turned and walked down the city tower. If he could survive tomorrow, he would beg Princess Ding to accept him into the Black Cloud Cavalry!
The rebel army was clearly becoming impatient compared to the slow and leisurely pace of the past few days. They had already started attacking the city before the sun rose, and as the sky grew brighter, the attacks became more and more fierce. If it wasn't for the fact that Yonglin City couldn't fit so many people, Mo Jingli would definitely want to bring all of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers to besiege this small city.
To defend the city, the two thousand Black Cloud Cavalry were definitely not much more useful than the two thousand Border City Guards. By noon, the remaining soldiers in Yonglin City were already exhausted. The city gate was also on the verge of collapsing under the constant attacks of the rebel army.
"Wang … Young Master Xu, we can't hold on any longer, you guys should leave first!" Xia Shu dragged his body covered in blood and stood in front of Ye Li, "And the brothers of the Black Cloud Cavalry, defending the city is our job, it's all thanks to you guys that we were able to defend for so many days."
"Leave?" Ye Li raised his eyebrows, "Where can we go now? There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the city. "
"Black Cloud Cavalry's two thousand men didn't suffer any casualties, they are just trapped in the city. As long as we leave the city, we will definitely be able to kill our way out. "Xia Shu said. Ye Li pointed at the people behind him and said, "Ask them if they want to leave or not." Behind Ye Li was the stern looking Black Cloud Cavalry Commander Qin Feng and An Er and An San. Qin Feng said solemnly, "The Black Cloud Cavalry exists to protect the Da Chu State. If we leave behind the city and the soldiers guarding the city, we brothers can only apologize in front of the Black Cloud Cavalry soldiers when we return." An San looked at Xia Shu with a smile and said, "We are the Shadow Guard. Wherever the master is, we will be there." Xia Shu stared at the person in front of him and felt his eyes were dry and stinging. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not worth it!" Let Yonglin City bury a Princess Ding and two thousand Black Cloud Cavalry. Such a price …
An San patted Xia Shu's shoulder and said with a smile, "If Yonglin City is really breached, we will risk our lives to protect you and kill our way out. At that time, we will be able to break out of the encirclement. What was the meaning of abandoning the city and fleeing now? Wouldn't it be better to abandon the city a few days earlier and save so many people from dying? "
Xia Shu was stunned. He slapped An San's hand away and turned to leave, "Do whatever you want!"
An San shrugged and said helplessly to the people behind him, "He seems to be shy?" An Er patted his third brother helplessly. Was he crazy? They were on the battlefield right now, okay?
Seeing the city gate begin to break under the heavy impact, Ye Li sighed helplessly. In the end, they couldn't hold on until the reinforcements arrived. "Black Cloud Cavalry, get ready!"
"Yes!" The city gate tower was handed over to the few remaining defenders. Below the city gate tower, two thousand Black Cloud Cavalry were ready. They were like an arrow ready to shoot at any time. Ye Li turned back and nodded to Xia Shu and Yun Ting who were standing on the city gate tower. With a wave of her hand, the city gate fell to the ground. The moment the rebel army outside the city had no time to rush in, the black cavalry rushed out like a gust of wind. Everywhere they went, blood soared.
"Prince, they are here. Black Cloud Cavalry! " At the back of the army, Mo Jingli sat high on his horse and stared at the situation on the battlefield. He didn't need the people beside him to remind him. He naturally saw the group of strong black figures.
"As expected of the Black Cloud Cavalry …" The general beside him couldn't help but sigh. If they had this kind of army, why would they worry about the world being unstable? Even if they were already enemies, they still couldn't hide their admiration when they saw this kind of elite army.
Mo Jingli laughed coldly, "They finally came out." With a wave of his hand, two groups of fresh troops that hadn't participated in the battle charged into the battlefield. "They all say that the Black Cloud Cavalry is good at attacking. Let's see what you can do with so many people!" Yonglin City wasn't big to begin with. Because of the addition of these two groups of people, it could be said that it was overcrowded. The war horses couldn't move at all. The Black Cloud Cavalry clearly understood this. They quickly gave up on their war horses and merged into the chaotic army. Using two thousand people to stop tens of thousands of people was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. However, the city gate was only so small. Even if they wanted tens of thousands of people, they couldn't rush in at the same time. Thus, for a moment, the two armies were still tangled in a stalemate at the city gate. Even if there were a few rebel soldiers who occasionally rushed in, they were quickly wiped out by the defending army inside the city gate.
"Who is that person?" Mo Jingli who was watching the battle suddenly pointed at an exceptionally petite black clothed figure in the chaotic army. He wore the same black cloud patterned clothes as all of the Black Cloud Cavalry, but his movements and movements were completely different from the Black Cloud Cavalry. If the Black Cloud Cavalry's movements were swift and fierce, then his movements were extremely simple and fierce. It was impossible to see any techniques, but with every simple movement, a soldier would fall in front of him. Regardless of whether it was the normal soldiers or the generals, there was no difference under his hands.
"That is …" Everyone was speechless. No one knew who that person was. It was because apart from his figure being a bit shorter and his movements being a bit more swift and fierce, he didn't seem any different from the other Black Cloud Cavalry. Mo Jingli's dark eyes gradually narrowed as he stared at the fierce figure amidst the chaotic army. That figure gave him a strange sense of familiarity. After a long time, he finally spat out a name through gritted teeth, "Ye Li!" The military advisor on the side was stunned. He quickly looked at the person in the chaotic army and said in shock, "The Prince said that is Princess Ding?!" Mo Jingli ignored his question. The whip in his hand pointed forward, "If you capture that person alive, I will reward you with one thousand taels of gold!"
"Yes!"
Even though the Black Cloud Cavalry had stopped the rebel army at the city gate, they were unable to effectively defend the city towers. Many rebel soldiers had already climbed up the city walls and started to fight with the defending army on the city walls. Ye Li could clearly feel the pressure at the foot of the city walls. She swept aside a rebel soldier that had pounced at her, and when she turned around, she just happened to pierce the throat of another rebel soldier that had pounced at her from behind. An Er and An San came over. An Er said in a low voice, "Young master, it's time to retreat." An San swung her sword and created a trail of blood as she said, "Did Mo Jingli discover the princess? Why do I feel that the people coming over right now aren't normal soldiers? " The people around them clearly had good martial arts and were harder to deal with than normal soldiers.
Ye Li was helpless, but Yonglin City's fall was a foregone conclusion. If the Black Cloud Cavalry sacrificed themselves now, there was no meaning. They had stalled at the city gate for almost two hours. Shattered Snow Pass must have received the news. "Black Cloud Cavalry, retreat from the battlefield!"
