The carpet that previously seemed to have been laid out on a desert of yellow sand seemed to have been pulled up into a satin, only, there was still blood splashing out.
Every dog has its day. Right now, it was the white horse crossbowmen chasing Beimang horse bars.
A Longguan scout with cracked lips could already clearly feel the exhaustion of the horse beneath him. Around him were his sorry looking comrades who had their backs to Beiliang's Tiger Head City. Even further ahead were the Crow and Black Fox elite cavalry that had pulled some distance away from them. Great General Liu Gui's trusted aide and favorite general Lin Fu and Dong Zhuo's brother-in-law Yelu Chucai were both on their way north. The former had a ghastly bloody wound on his face during the battle, his skin and flesh lacerated. The latter wasn't much better off. Four or five crossbow arrows pierced through his armor but didn't fall, making him look like a hedgehog. His entire body was covered in blood. It seemed like his muscles and bones had been injured.
This Longguan A-ranked Generals couldn't understand how they ended up becoming the prey of the Beiliang crossbowmen. As a top level scout at the border, it wasn't that he couldn't tell that the Crow and Black Fox troops weren't that weak. If they were willing to fight to the death and not retreat, they still had a chance to fight to the death against the two groups of Beiliang crossbowmen. However, those Generals with real authority and the imperial relative surnamed Yelu chose to retreat. That was why when he was shot in the neck by a crossbow arrow and fell off the back of his horse, he seemed to have thought it through. Perhaps it was because those two people's lives were too valuable.
Compared to the tyrannical actions of the Beimang scouts when they chased down Sun Ji's crossbowmen, such as bending down to cut off heads, riding horses to trample on headless corpses, or using the corpses on the ground as targets, Li Hanlin and Wei Musheng's crossbowmen similarly chased down without hesitation. If a Beimang scout dismounted from his horse, regardless of official status, the nearby crossbowmen would all raise their arms and point their crossbows downwards, accurately adding a crossbow arrow to ensure the death of the scout.
Lu Dou, who had astonishing martial prowess, led a hundred mounted crossbowmen and was responsible for patrolling the left flank of Beimang's defeated army to prevent their formation from dispersing, which would be detrimental to their side's victory. On the right flank, there were only two riders keeping watch, but their deterrence to Beimang's cavalry was no less than that of Liangzhou's hundred cavalry. These two riders were the female swordsman Wang Sheng and the scout sergeant Yu Dilong, who had previously followed Yu Luandao to Liangzhou's pass.
Not only did Wang Sheng carry as many as six swords on her back, she also used a rope to tie up four famous swords that her master had helped her take from the city wall of Wu Wu City. She had a strange habit. Towards Jianghu masters who did not use swords, such as Yu Dilong and Lu Yunzhang, the Saber Dao Champion, as well as Gou Youfang, who was known to be invincible along with Yu Dilong, Wang Sheng was never willing to exchange pointers with them. Even if they met by chance and were close at hand, she was never willing to use her sword. Wang Sheng defeated dozens of Jianghu masters who were renowned throughout the world. Only Dongyue Sword Pool's Shan Baoyi, who had forged a sword for herself, did not have any other sword. They became mortal enemies for the rest of their lives. They were each other's victims, and this became a long-lasting Jianghu story. Wang Sheng had defeated dozens of Jianghu masters who were renowned throughout the world.

Wang Sheng's master was never known for his unparalleled swordsmanship.
Later generations remembered Hsu Fengnian because of the female Sword Saint Wang Sheng.
At this time, Yu Dilong secretly turned his head to look at the girl. He originally thought that she would not be used to fighting on the battlefield. Previously, he only knew that she had once accompanied White Fox Face, who had a deep relationship with his master. The two of them traveled together in Beimang. He only knew that her swordsmanship had improved by leaps and bounds.
The girl's clothes were stained with blood. As she spurred her horse forward, her hands pressed on the hilt of the sword at her waist. Her hands were stained with blood. She raised her head and looked forward. Her hair gently fluttered in the wind. She was in high spirits.
His master had told him in private that as long as one was a girl, there was no girl who did not like rouge and face powder. The reason why Yu Dilong asked his master for the reward money for his military exploits, other than sending it to Auntie Pei to repair the small courtyard, was that he wanted to secretly save some money. However, Yu Dilong was still young. He felt that even if he bought those feminine things, he might not be able to give them away.
What do you mean by extreme love for the sword? My life is devoted to the sword.
In the next hundred years, he would be honored as the most powerful man in the world. He did not use weapons his entire life. He defeated all the heroes in the world except for Gou Youfang with his bare hands. It was said that he did not have a girl he liked, but year after year, he would personally buy a few boxes of rouge. In the end, he would pile them up in a house like a mountain.
Many, many years later, an old man who had lived for nearly two decades opened the door of the house. The old man with snow-white hair and brows sat alone on the threshold. He looked back and seemed to see a dark-skinned girl with her hands behind her back, picking and choosing in front of the rouge mountain.

Wei Musheng, who was bathed in blood, rode his horse to Li Hanlin's side. He said in a hoarse voice, "Captain Li, these barbarians are unwilling to fight with all their might. Something is not right. Crow Lanzi and us crossbowmen are sworn enemies. They have never been soft-hearted. It seems like they have a backup plan like us. Be careful of ambushes."
Li Hanlin casually spat out a mouthful of blood and raised his head to look at the sky. He then nodded and said in a low voice, "Captain Wei, your troops have suffered heavy casualties. Leave the pursuit to us for the time being. If you can take the opportunity to change horses, then change horses. There is no need to worry about wasting time. Once you encounter a large group of Beimang cavalry, you will need to stall for time. You must hold on until Yuan Nanting's White Feather Light Cavalry arrives on the battlefield. According to previous intelligence reports, I believe that with the current deployment of Beimang's Dong Zhuo and Murong Baoding, they will not be able to transfer too many cavalry troops to deal with this battle. We still have Qidang's Iron Stupa. When the time comes, whether we fight or retreat, we will have room to maneuver. "
