(Chapter 4: Around six o 'clock in the morning.)
Mao Rou gritted her teeth in hatred when she saw how arrogant this young swordsman was. If it was in the past, she would have tied him up on the bed and pampered him. However, now that they were on the battlefield, she was only left with a bone-deep anger. She said the word "kill" several times in a row! The warhorse galloped forward like thunder. Hsu Fengnian did not stop rolling the dragon wall. Although he could not achieve a sword aura like Old Man Li, he had comprehended the [Sleeve of Azure Dragon] during the battle of life and death with Tuoba Chunsun on the grassland. His sword aura rolling the dragon wall became more and more genuine. His figure was like a fish swimming in the tide. When he met the first batch of cavalry charging, he used the [Spring and Autumn Movement] to split a man and a horse in half. Then he ran horizontally, ignoring the iron spears. Relying on the surging true energy of the Mirage, he had the idea of a protracted battle. He did not insist on killing people, but on seeing horses. Heavy cavalry were invincible in a battle on horseback, but dismounting to fight on foot would be a burden.
The charging warhorse formation was like a line of tide. When Hsu Fengnian broke through the tide, more than a dozen riders were thrown off their horses. Under the second wave of iron spears, they only retreated slightly before charging again. His figure was free and unfettered with sword aura. It was like the calligraphy of a painting master. Mao Rou, who was sitting high up with a spear, was gnashing her teeth. It seemed that in just a few blinks of an eye, the Mao Family had invested so much effort and enough gold and silver to form a small mountain. Almost twenty people had died. Once they fell off their horses, their heads would be cut off by the scholarly swordsman's sword aura, or their armor would be torn apart by his sword aura. They would die without a complete corpse. It was as if her muscles were being cut off. She really wanted to stomp on that handsome little bastard's crotch and ask, "Do you know that it's easy for this old lady to raise these armored cavalry as if they're my own sons? Is it easy? "
Mao Rou quickly calmed down. Let alone killing one person with five hundred cavalrymen, even if three hundred cavalrymen went up against a first-stage Vajra Realm martial artist, the latter would most likely be exhausted to death. However, there was an important prerequisite for this. After one or two hundred people died, the formation wouldn't be messed up, and their courage wouldn't be shattered. They wouldn't be defeated and scattered. Mao Rou had a lot of confidence in this point. These 500 cavalrymen of the Jinwu Guards were equivalent to Mao's personal guards. She had trained them for a thousand days and attached great importance to actual combat and reward and punishment. She often took them out to kill bandits and horse thieves. Against the former, light cavalry and light cavalry, the latter, heavy cavalry and light cavalry, mixed together to kill. Every time they returned from a successful mission, not to mention wine and meat, as long as they dared to fight with their lives on the line, Mao Rou had the courage to spend money to invite those courtesans from the brothels in Dunhuang to the barracks and reward them.
Frustrated, Mao Rou let out a long breath and said viciously, "You little swordsman, after you die, I will stomp your body into meat paste with my iron hooves!"
Mao Rou shouted, "Don't give him a chance to breathe, use the horse to ram him to death! Whoever stabs him first, I will reward him with all the courtesans in the city and let him play with them for three days and three nights until all three of your legs go soft! Whoever stabs him to death first, I will personally go into battle and give that lucky bastard a blowjob! "
The eyes of the Jinwu Guards were bloodshot.
Hsu Fengnian was expressionless. He controlled his sword with one hand to take the head and the other hand to kill the enemy at close range.
Mao Rou looked at the soul-stirring one-sided slaughter on the battlefield and sneered, "Pull back thirty steps and throw your spears. Pick them up and come back later!"
The semi-circular cavalry formation tangled with Hsu Fengnian immediately retreated. The second wave of cavalry threw out their spears in an instant. These spears were not as easy to deflect as arrows from a hundred steps away. To be able to become a heavy cavalry, one's physical strength was not ordinary. Thus, every shot could be said to be powerful and heavy.
Hsu Fengnian did not stop moving his sword and cut into the enemy's formation. He held two spears that brushed past his shoulders and spun them in his hands. The two spears were like mirror-like round shields, deflecting all the spears that came close to him. After a wave of throwing, Hsu Fengnian held his spear and threw it back with both hands. Immediately, two cavalry soldiers fell off their horses. Their armor was penetrating!
Mao Rou was shocked. At this point, she was actually starting to feel numb. She ordered coldly, "Surround him!"
This vicious and merciless female general sneered in a low voice, "I don't believe you can do what the Wu family did two hundred years ago. How can one person create a sword formation?"
Mao Rou glanced at the five cavalry captains beside her and tilted her chin.
The five cavalrymen began to quietly charge forward with their spears.
Sixty cavalrymen in a circle tried their best to avoid the terrifying flying sword. Then, they threw their spears at the same time from thirty steps away.
Hsu Fengnian's hands formed a circle. Unexpectedly, the spears and spears rotated with it. His left hand brushed past, and sixty spears and spears shot out in the opposite direction.
Although these heavy cavalrymen were slower than the light cavalrymen when they were stationary, they were not straw mats. Apart from a dozen or so large arrows that were too tricky and pierced the cavalrymen to death, the rest were only scratched or deflected. However, the innermost layer of the circle began to show signs of breaking. In an instant, six cavalry captains who had reached the top of the Golden Guards rushed out from the gap and threw their spears and spears at the same time. One of them had half his face cut off by the Spring and Autumn Flying Sword and fell off his horse. The second horse still fiercely rammed into the terrifying swordsman's chest. Unexpectedly, the swordsman only slid back a few steps and stopped his body. Fortunately, one of the cavalrymen rammed into him from the side and sent him flying. Another officer seized this rare opportunity and chopped down with his saber.
Finally, there was blood!
This group of Golden Guards who had been fighting until now almost had tears of joy in their eyes.
The valiant officer who had chopped down the scholarly swordsman's shoulder felt his heart burn. Just as he was about to push all his energy into his saber and cut off the young swordsman's arm, he saw a pair of emotionless feminine eyes. In the next moment, his saber was knocked away and he was pulled off his horse. His neck was twisted with both hands.
Hsu Fengnian threw down the bloody head and body. The corner of his mouth twitched.
Mao Rou said in a deep voice, "Officer Tang Kang died in battle. The compensation is fifty taels of gold. His son is allowed to enter the Mao Family's private school to study. After he turns twenty, he will immediately enter the Golden Guards and take up the position of Officer!"
The Mao Family's promise!
This was a golden signboard that was heavier than gold and silver. This was also the foundation that allowed the Mao Family to maintain a high position of power in Dunhuang City.
The morale of the army was once again raised.
Hsu Fengnian held the Spring and Autumn Sword and began to run in a straight line toward the Mao Family woman who gave the order.
The half-formed Golden Thread and the perfected Morning Dew finally came out of the sword pouch.
Wherever they went, beads of blood bloomed from the necks of the cavalrymen on both sides.
Mao Rou narrowed her eyes. This time, she did not retreat.
