Yang Ping sat behind a large table and stroked his mustache as he listened to Jiang Jinfu's report. He nodded thoughtfully. "Does this mean that this formation is quite powerful?"
"Yes," Jiang Jinfu replied. "I didn't expect this formation to be so powerful! General, if these death row prisoners can be trained to this extent in just ten days, we'll be even more powerful if we train our elites! "
"It's useless," Yang Ping said lazily. "Soaring Eagle Cavalry is a cavalry, not infantry! Alright, you don't have to worry about this anymore. You're dismissed! "
"… Yes." Jiang Jinfu retreated helplessly.
Yang Ping stroked his mustache thoughtfully.
After a long while, he shook his head. He still could not send the Sharp Vigor Battalion.
This damned Zhao Dahe was such a troublemaker!
Although the Saint had just sent someone over to instruct them to treat Zhao Dahe as an ordinary person, he would be stupid if he listened to her!
The members of the Sharp Vigor Battalion had completely changed. They were energetic and worked even harder without Xu Cihang's whips.
After witnessing the power of the formation, they treated it as a life-saving skill. As long as they mastered it, they would be able to save their lives on the battlefield.
If they did not master it and made a mistake on the battlefield, not only would they implicate their comrades, but they would also hurt themselves. They had to master it even if it cost them their lives.
Chu Li had been cultivating in his tent. Apart from the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, he also had the Nature Restoration Manifestation. The battlefield was the best place to cultivate the Nature Restoration Manifestation.
Three days later, the atmosphere in Soaring Eagle Cavalry's camp suddenly became tense.
The setting sun was as red as blood.
The entire Soaring Eagle Cavalry's camp was shrouded in a blood-red light.
Chu Li followed Jiang Jinfu to the main tent. He did not say a word along the way as the two of them looked at each other with disgust.
When he entered the tent, there were already ten high-ranking military officers standing inside. Their faces were taut and full of killing intent.
Chu Li had already recognized them from the Omniscient Mirror. They were all centurions.
"Tomorrow, we'll attack Flying Cloud Cavalry." Yang Ping pressed on the table and looked at the crowd calmly.
The crowd immediately whispered to each other.
"General, are we going to attack first?" A centurion fist saluted. "Aren't we supposed to defend the city?"
"The Grand General has ordered us to take advantage of their carelessness and attack them head-on to relieve the pressure of defending the city!" Yang Ping said.
"General, shouldn't we be dealing with the heavy cavalry? Why did they go up against the Flying Cloud Cavalry? "another centurion asked.
Yang Ping said, "The Black Bear Army will deal with the heavy cavalry."
"What is the Great General trying to do?" A centurion frowned and said, "Although our cavalry is powerful, compared to the Flying Cloud Cavalry …"
He said, shaking his head.
Everyone shook their heads.
They were not ordinary soldiers, so they would not be fooled by the propaganda. They knew very well that their cavalry could not be compared to the Qiu Dynasty's cavalry. After all, they had learned from the Qiu Dynasty's cavalry, so they were not confident that they could defeat their ancestors.
Yang Ping said calmly, "Look at you guys, cowering before the battle!"
"General, the cavalrymen of the Flying Cloud Cavalry grew up on horseback. It's said that all of them are experts in archery." One of the centurions shook his head and said, "It's fine to deal with their heavy cavalry and infantry, but to deal with the Flying Cloud Cavalry …"
Yang Ping said, "Then what do you think we should do? Surrender? "
"Of course we can't surrender. We can ask the Great General to step aside."
"Oh, do you think the Great General is stupid? You don't know this? "
"Then what's going on?"
"Just follow the orders. As for what the Great General thinks, you don't have to know! … Even I don't know! "Yang Ping glared at them coldly, making them feel diffident.
The General was temperamental. The calmer he was, the scarier he was. There was no telling if he would suddenly turn hostile and start scolding them. The calmer he was, the more nervous everyone was. They were on guard against him, so they were always nervous when they stood in front of him.
Yang Ping's calm gaze fell on Chu Li. "Zhao Dahe, your Sharp Vigor Battalion will clean up the battlefield this time!"
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "Yes, General!"
Yang Ping was waiting for him to scold him. As long as he questioned the General, Yang Ping would take the opportunity to vent his anger.
"General, they're the Sharp Vigor Battalion, not the supply camp!" one of the centurions could not help but say.
Ever since Zhao Dahe joined the Sharp Vigor Battalion, the General had completely protected the Sharp Vigor Battalion, which made people feel indignant.
The Sharp Vigor Battalion was in charge of gathering information. Although they were defending the city now, they still needed information. However, the Sharp Vigor Battalion was completely resting!
They were indignant. He was just a disciple of the Holy Church of Light. Why was the General so afraid of him? The General had always said that the disciples of the Holy Church of Light should not meddle in military affairs. His actions were obviously inconsistent with what he said!
They were dissatisfied with Yang Ping, so he used Chu Li as a pretext.
Yang Ping said coldly, "Is it easy to clean up the battlefield? If we carry the corpses, we'll have to fight them if we encounter them. It's not as easy as charging. All of you, shut up! "
The ten centurions glanced at Chu Li. They suspected that Chu Li had given the General some great benefits for him to be so protective of him.
Jiang Jinfu stood at the side and looked at him coldly. Unfortunately, Chu Li did not lose his composure. He could not watch the centurions' cold eyes and remained calm. He cursed to himself, 'What a thick-skinned fellow!'
"Get ready. Tomorrow, beat the drum as the signal and rush out of the east gate. We'll attack them while they're eating!" Yang Ping said in a low voice.
"Yes!" Everyone gave a fist salute and responded. They turned around and strode out of the tent.
— —
Early in the morning, the drum sounded.
It was a rare day with good weather. The sun rose early and shone brightly.
Everyone from the Sharp Vigor Battalion rode on their horses. They were all clad in Radiant Armor. Their helmets only revealed their faces and they carried two long blades on their backs. A round shield hung on the left side of their horses and a longbow hung on the right. Their equipment was neat and well-made, gleaming under the bright sun.
Apart from their equipment, they also carried a bundle on their horses.
The drums continued to beat, but they sat motionless on their horses.
The warhorses were also clad in Radiant Armor that revealed their eyes, noses, mouths, and limbs. They were light cavalrymen who pursued speed. Therefore, the Radiant Armor was very light and could only block arrows from afar.
The warhorses were tapping their front hooves anxiously. They were extremely anxious, completely different from their masters.
Everyone's bodies were tense. They were finally going to the battlefield and might not be able to return. Death was at hand. Some of them wanted to retreat, some were calm, and some were excited.
Chu Li was at the front, facing the direction of the camp gate. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the crowd and said, "With everyone accompanying us, we won't die alone. Even if we go to the Underworld, we can still defeat the imps with the formation. What's there to be afraid of?"
"That's right, there's nothing to be afraid of!" the crowd responded.
When they thought about how they would be accompanied when they died in battle, they were no longer as afraid. This was human nature.
"Bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang bang! "Hearing the rhythmic drumming, Fan Yang hurriedly said," Master Zhao, it's our turn! "
"Let's go!" Chu Li shouted.
He spurred his mount forward while Xu Cihang and Fan Yang followed closely behind him. Soon, there were twenty of them.
The riders rushed out of the Sharp Vigor Battalion and onto the spacious road in the center. The cavalrymen in front of them had already rushed out of the main gate of Soaring Eagle Cavalry's camp.
They galloped out of the camp gate and entered the main street in the city. Soon, they rushed out of the open east gate. Then, their warhorses sped up and galloped eastward along the main road.
Chu Li turned his head to look at the people on horseback. Some of them had lowered their helmets while others had removed their helmets to reveal excited, pale, or flushed faces. He could clearly sense their uneasiness.
