"Die!" One of the burly men laughed maniacally. The long saber in his hand pierced through the air and slashed at his opponent. Then, he brought the other saber in front of him. These two fellows cooperated well. Two advanced Man Wheel experts were actually able to block a few of his moves, but that was as far as they could go.
With a turn of his body, the long saber changed direction, and the head of the other opponent flew into the sky.
Then, he shouted loudly and was about to split the opponent that he had just slashed into two when he was suddenly stopped by several spears from the side.
The burly man had a look of contempt on his face. With a casual swing of his saber, the hands that were holding the spears immediately lost control, and the spears flew into the sky. However, those people didn't stop and immediately moved away. The people behind them continued to stab with their spears.
This was the centipede formation used by Great Xia during the battle with the aboriginals. The advantage of the aboriginal warriors was too great. Even if the number of Great Xia soldiers was ten times that of the aboriginals, it would be difficult to achieve victory on the battlefield without relying on this battle formation.
Needless to say, they were facing the elites of the aboriginals — the winged cavalry.
Although there were only slightly more than 100 of them, all of them were at the Earth Wheel level. Even 5,000 elite soldiers would find it difficult to resist them. The difference in strength was too great.
Therefore, after the Great Xia generals arranged for dozens of people to block the first batch of aboriginal warriors, they immediately launched the centipede formation and eliminated these 100 people.
This kind of situation occurred in many places on the battlefield. After the winged cavalry warriors killed and repelled their opponents, they discovered that they had to face opponents that moved quickly and held spears that were like centipedes with hundreds of legs.
"A bunch of bastards!" One of the winged cavalry warriors cut off all the spears around him like a spinning top. The long saber in his hand turned into a white line and cut off five or six heads. Suddenly, a spear pierced toward his waist at an extremely fast speed.
The winged cavalry warrior grabbed the spear with one hand, making it difficult for his opponent to advance. Then, he flicked the spear upward, and his opponent quickly let go of his hands. This was the result of many years of combat experience.
These people were all Great Xia captains who were at the beginner level of the Man Wheel. They had fought with the aboriginals more than once and were able to survive. Regardless of strength or reaction, they were much stronger than the rest.
However, in the next second, he saw a flash of saber light in front of him in horror. His entire body was directly sent flying from his chest.
If it was an ordinary aboriginal warrior facing the centipede formation, it was very likely that he would be obstructed by the surrounding spear formations. However, he wasn't facing an ordinary aboriginal warrior, but the elite winged cavalry.
One of the soldiers chopped off a few more heads with a backhand. When his gaze swept across the surroundings, his body suddenly paused. A long spear had directly left a bloody mark under his armpit.
The soldier chopped off the heads of the two people in front of him with a backhand. His face was filled with joy as he shouted, "Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this sound, all the aboriginal warriors revealed a look of joy and looked in the direction of the sound. Many of them didn't manage to dodge in time and ended up with a few wounds on their bodies.
However, many people saw a red figure rushing towards them from afar. Who else could it be but His Majesty?
"Your Majesty!"
"We've found Her Majesty!"
Everyone cheered excitedly, not forgetting to slash their opponents to death.
A middle-aged general at the back of the Great Xia battle formation was originally frowning as he looked at the battlefield. Based on the current situation, even if these 5,000 elite soldiers could eliminate more than 100 winged cavalry warriors, they would at least lose 70% of their men. This was an optimistic estimate, and the possibility of both sides suffering losses was very high.
It was a pity that there wasn't a crossbow battalion. If there was, this wouldn't have happened.
One had to know that these were all battle-hardened elite soldiers.
Although the merciful didn't command soldiers, his heart was bleeding.
The only consolation was that these were, after all, the most elite winged cavalry warriors of Dayao. At least one-tenth of them were here, and even if these 5,000 elite soldiers were to be sacrificed, it wouldn't be considered a loss.
At this moment, he heard the yells of the winged cavalry warriors in the battle formation. His facial expression changed drastically. Sitting on the back of his horse, he saw a red figure rushing in his direction.
"Stop her," the general shouted, but he was distressed. Why did Qi Zixiao appear at this time?
He had already invested all his troops to surround these winged cavalry warriors. Together with Qi Zixiao, there was simply no way to stop them. He could only hope that Qi Zixiao was seriously injured as rumored. However, he didn't have any expectations as he looked at the figure that was rushing over from afar.
Even if she was seriously injured, they wouldn't be able to stop her. Furthermore, looking at her current speed, she didn't look like she was injured at all.
Half of the hundreds of winged cavalry warriors that surrounded him immediately turned their horses and rushed toward the red figure.
The empress's face was ice-cold. Facing the 50 to 60 winged cavalry warriors, she leaped into the air. Just like how she stepped on human skulls on Earth, it didn't matter if they dodged or brandished their sabers. To the empress, there was practically no difference.
In a single move, more than a dozen of the winged cavalry warriors fell from their horses. Before that happened, they were already dead.
These 50 to 60 winged cavalry warriors couldn't even stop her for half a step. When the remaining people turned their horses around, they could only see the back of the empress charging in their direction.
"Shoot!" The middle-aged general looked at the scene in front of him and trembled slightly. He forcefully controlled his voice and gave the order.
He smiled bitterly. His 5,000 elite soldiers were entangled with the winged cavalry and couldn't move at all. Regardless of whether he retreated or not, he would still die.
It's over, it's all over. At this moment, the only hope in his heart was that a few more people could escape and kill a few more winged cavalry warriors.
The remaining people had already drawn their bows and nocked their arrows. Upon hearing the order, they immediately released their bows. 50 to 60 arrows pierced through the air and flew straight toward the lady in red.
The empress stretched out her hand and grabbed. Six or seven arrows appeared in her hand. As for the rest, she brushed them aside.
With a flip of her hand, the six or seven arrows flew back. Three of them directly missed, two of them penetrated the horse's buttocks, and one of them was lucky enough to hit one of the winged cavalry warriors.
Seeing this, the empress's face turned even colder. After brushing aside the second round of arrows, she immediately appeared on a horse and smashed that man's head with one hand. Taking advantage of the situation, she pounced toward the general who was surrounded in the middle. Immediately, three figures on their horses soared into the sky. These three people actually had the strength of an Earth Wheel expert. However, they were smashed to the ground one after another.
The empress smashed that general's head with one palm. Carrying the corpse, she leaped out of the crowd and shouted, "The Great Xia general is dead. Kill!"
Her cold voice spread throughout the battlefield.
"Kill!" The winged cavalry warriors laughed heartily and shouted. At this moment, the fatigue from the past few days couldn't be found on their bodies. It was as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Avenge the general!" This weak voice was immediately drowned out. However, that general's personal guard still had the determination to die and rushed toward the empress with a sorrowful look on his face.
After knowing that their general was dead, the morale of the Great Xia soldiers plummeted. Coupled with the fact that there was no one to command them, they collapsed in no time and began to flee in all directions.
"Your Majesty!" More than 10 winged cavalry warriors rushed to the empress's side. Their faces were full of reverence. At this moment, the ground around her was already filled with corpses.
"Kill them and come back in the time it takes to burn an incense stick," the empress said coldly.
"Yes." Other than a captain who remained by the empress's side, the rest of the people broke into a run and chased after the Great Xia soldiers who had scattered.
Ren Baqian watched the bloody massacre of this era from the ridge and then saw the empress charge alone. In particular, those shouts of "kill" made his blood boil.
However, it was only blood boil.
