Because there were a dozen carriages, the army didn't move very fast!
They didn't arrive five kilometers away from Xiangyang City until the sun was about to set.
"Huh? Xiangyang City seems to be at war! "
Exactly at this moment, Ji Ye, who was sitting in the first carriage, sensed something.
Then, the Void Ring on his finger flashed, and the Mirage Dragon Pearl appeared.
Because of the rainy night, the Mirage Cloud Mirror couldn't be used.
However, now that the weather was clear, he could use the skill to observe from afar.
Hum, hum, hum …
Then, the white mirage rose from the Mirage Dragon Pearl and projected the scene of Xiangyang City more than ten kilometers away in midair.
A lot of Yuan soldiers had set up battle formations under Xiangyang City, and all kinds of siege equipment, including catapults, were being thrown at the city.
Although it was impossible to see the details because of the distance, it could be seen that the Yuan soldiers had mobilized at least tens of thousands of soldiers and surrounded Xiangyang City.
Obviously, the Yuan soldiers must've noticed what Lu Junyi and his companions were doing.
Therefore, they seized the opportunity to attack Xiangyang City, which had lost a lot of combat power.
Of course, it wasn't strange that they were discovered.
After all, both sides had the participants and players who had won the Ten-Species Competition, and they had special reconnaissance methods like the Mirage Cloud Mirror.
It was hard to hide such a large-scale mobilization.
"Ah! Should we speed up and reinforce them? "
Seeing the scene projected by the Mirage Dragon Pearl, An Quan asked.
"It's not Xiangyang City that needs reinforcements. It's more likely that it's us! "
Ji Ye, however, shook his head.
Although he couldn't see the details, he keenly noticed that the Yuan soldiers were only using catapults and didn't send any soldiers to attack the city!
It meant that they weren't really "attacking" the city, but more like "besieging" the city.
Their real goal might be to isolate Xiangyang City from Ji Ye and his companions by besieging the city.
Then, they would devour the lone soldiers who were out of the protection of the city.
Different from the Mongolians on the Battlefield of Providence, the Yuan soldiers had as limited a cavalry as the Song soldiers. If they could devour the three thousand cavalrymen, they would have a greater advantage outside the city!
Hardly had Ji Ye concluded his sentence when, on the image of the Mirage Cloud Mirror, a part of the Yuan army was suddenly separated and moved toward them.
"Master Ji, you've fought the Yuan people for years. You've seen through their tactics so easily!"
Yelu Qi said with admiration.
Compared to Lu Junyi's salute to Ji Ye earlier, his tone was clearly more sincere.
He wasn't too surprised by Ji Ye's Mirage Cloud Mirror.
Because Gongsun Sheng had the Cloud Dragon Sword, he could perform the same move. Although it wasn't as clear as when Ji Ye used the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Yelu Qi had probably seen this special technique in Xiangyang City.
"About ten thousand!"
Lu Junyi estimated the number of Yuan soldiers after one look at the picture.
The total number of soldiers they led was only three thousand. Faced with a Yuan army that was three times their size, they were definitely at a disadvantage!
Especially from the movement of the enemy, more than half of them should be cavalry.
"Elder Meng is truly a prophet. The Yuan people have really launched an attack."
However, Lu Junyi, Yang Zhi, and Lu Zhishen weren't scared at all. Instead, they remarked with mixed feelings!
"Yes, just like Elder Meng said …"
Yelu Qi's tone was also a little excited.
As it turned out, after Huang Rong was heavily wounded and passed out, Elder Meng had temporarily become the "Chief Think Tank" of Xiangyang City!
"Yesterday, after Mister Bug came to Xiangyang City to report the situation, Elder Meng said that things couldn't be good.
"Elder Meng said that the Yuan people might send people to stop you, so he asked us to meet you.
"However, because of the Yuan people's spies, it's impossible to avoid them. Therefore, Elder Meng suggested to Guo Yingxiong that we should take advantage of the situation and fight the Yuan people to show their arrogance after they injured Lady Guo! "
Wu Song said in admiration.
That was the real reason why they had brought three thousand cavalrymen and Yelu Qi to "greet" them in such a grand way.
"The soldiers behind us are all the most elite soldiers in Xiangyang City. Each of them can fight ten people at once!"
With pride on his face, Yelu Qi commanded the soldiers to speed up and rush toward Xiangyang City.
The Yuan soldiers and the Song soldiers were similar in level, and the common soldiers were only Ordinary Rank-5.
However, the soldiers they brought were all above Ordinary Rank-6, and even the Decurions were above Ordinary Rank-7. A lot of experts from the Beggar Gang were also hiding among them.
In terms of real strength, it was impossible for the Yuan people to stop them even if they had double the number of soldiers.
Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop …
It didn't take long for the cavalrymen to cover a distance of five kilometers.
When they entered the open terrain outside of Xiangyang City, they saw the Yuan army that had come to stop them!
Hum!
Sitting on a galloping black horse, Yang Zhi drew the black heavy bow that was transformed from the Stone of Civilization.
A heavy black arrow that was as heavy as a cannonball flew more than half a kilometer and hit the chest of a Yuan Commander-level hero who was wearing the armor of an officer. The powerful force penetrated the golden breastplate on his chest and sent him flying several meters away, knocking away two Yuan Wolf Riders behind him!
It was also the prelude to the battle between the two armies of different civilizations.
"Charge!"
Lu Junyi gave the order to charge loudly.
Because they came so fast, the Yuan army didn't have time to set up any interception facilities.
At this moment, the Song army was even a little confused. They could only fight back with arrows and send out their cavalrymen to stop them.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
Faced with the arrows that were flying at him like raindrops, Lu Junyi, who was leading the charge, had no intention of dodging at all.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The Extraordinary Rank-5 Qilin Rod in his hand turned into a series of blurred shadows in the air, smashing the arrows that were shot at him and the arrows that missed their target to the ground.
As a result, the area dozens of meters around the Jade Qilin Rod became hollow after it passed!
However, the charge of the cavalrymen didn't leave much time for both parties to shoot.
After only a few arrows, the three thousand cavalrymen led by several top heroes of the Twin Dragon Mount collided with the Yuan cavalrymen!
Hum!
The moment he made contact with the enemy, Lu Junyi's purple Qilin Rod lengthened until it was more than ten meters long. He swept it at the dozen Yuan Wolf-Horse Warriors in front of him.
After blocking hundreds of arrows, the Extraordinary power that the Perfect weapon had accumulated was instantly released like a flood.
Pop! Crackle!
Wherever the purple rod swept, the sound of bones being broken echoed nonstop, and a dozen Yuan Wolf-Horse warriors were slapped away from their mounts!
After the Yuan Wolf Riders were slapped away, the purple Qilin saddle that Lu Junyi was sitting on emitted a purple light that enshrouded the horse with a purple mane and vaguely condensed into the illusion of a Qilin.
Because he arrived too late, Lu Junyi only received an Extraordinary Rank-5 Refined Qilin Saddle from the Ten-Species Competition quest.
However, the Qilin Saddle had special features. After activating its Extraordinary power, it could form the illusion of a purple Qilin, which could not only protect the rider but also the mount.
Of course, the Jade Qilin, which was unbeatable with its rod, was actually meaningless to protect the rider, but it was necessary to protect the mount.
That was because the Yuan cavalrymen were actually a mixed troop that consisted of the Wolf Riders who had mastered inner strength and the regular Yuan Camel Riders.
The Wolf Riders were short but agile, so it was possible that they could use the tactic of cutting the horse's legs!
Of course, the dozen Yuan warriors who had been knocked off their mounts didn't have much strength left to cut the horse's legs, because …
It was needless to say what would happen to them if they fell off their mounts while the cavalrymen were charging at each other.
"Ah!"
The dozen Yuan warriors who had mastered inner strength could only watch in horror as a purple Qilin shadow passed over them, before they were stomped into a bloody pulp by the galloping horses!
