"Yes!" Everyone was energized and rubbed their palms together.
Chu Li waved his hand and rode out of the forest. They took a small path at the foot of the mountain and circled around it. Soon, a vast grassland appeared in front of them.
They galloped on their horses and soon arrived at the foot of another mountain.
Chu Li waved his hand and gestured for them to dismount. Then, he tied their horses to a tree and carried their equipment with him. Then, they followed Chu Li up the mountain.
Although they could not use their inner energy, they were still martial arts practitioners and their bodies were much stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, they had been practicing pole-standing these days, so their legs were more agile and they could walk on the mountain path effortlessly.
After a while, they arrived at the mountainside. Chu Li said in a low voice, "They're on the opposite side of the mountain. When I tell you to charge, charge according to the formation! Shoot the arrows in the first round, then put away the arrows. Don't use the shields. Just tie them to your back and use your blades! "
Everyone nodded.
Chu Li quickened his pace.
General Zhu Wuji of Flying Cloud Cavalry sat on his horse. A hundred men surrounded him and looked around vigilantly.
Zhu Wuji pointed his horsewhip into the distance and laughed loudly. "Haha, so this is the famous Soaring Eagle Cavalry? Haha, they're just useless people! "
He was thin and had a protruding mouth and cheeks, which made him look rather wretched. However, his voice was unusually loud, and his laughter echoed far and wide.
A thin middle-aged man stood beside him and stroked his beard. "They learned from us after all, so they don't have enough experience in battle formations. It's a shame that they almost succeeded in their sneak attack! What a shame! What a shame! "
"Elder Jing, whose side are you on?" Zhu Wuji laughed. "If word of this gets out, you'll be charged with colluding with the enemy!"
The thin middle-aged man stroked his beard and laughed. "I'm just sorry that their plan wasn't thorough enough. It's such a pity and makes me feel uncomfortable!"
Warhorses galloped, horses neighed, and people screamed. Dust billowed and shrouded the battlefield of more than two thousand people. It was a tragic sight. The fallen riders were trampled by the warhorses. Their internal organs were unharmed due to their armor, but their limbs were broken.
"They wouldn't have taken advantage of the opportunity!" Zhu Wuji curled his lips. "They're a bunch of useless people. Their reputation is all talk!"
"General, it seems like we're missing a group of people." The thin middle-aged man observed for a while and counted with his fingers. He frowned. "Why don't I see the Sharp Vigor Battalion? They are a surprise troop, we have to guard against them! "
"Haha, we've wiped out the entire Sharp Vigor Battalion," Zhu Wuji said with a laugh. "They're just two or three weaklings. They're nothing to worry about!"
"It's better to be careful." The scrawny middle-aged man said, "Yang Ping is able to reach such a high position at such a young age. We can't underestimate him."
"Don't you know what kind of trash Yang Ping is?" Zhu Wuji curled his lips and said disdainfully, "What an idiot! He's only relying on the fact that he has a good older sister as his concubine!"
"You do have some skills," the thin middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Are you afraid that Elite Battalion will assassinate me? Haha! "
The scrawny middle-aged man looked around and said with a frown, "We have to be on guard! We only have a hundred protectors. If there are more than a hundred soldiers from the Sharp Vigor Battalion, I'm afraid … "
"With the military flag here, no matter how powerful an expert is, he's just an ordinary person. How can he block the attack of my 100 guards?" Zhu Wuji laughed heartily as he shook his head and said, "Old Jing, you're being overly cautious. You're being overly suspicious. Perhaps that brat Yang Ping is doing this on purpose!"
The scrawny middle-aged man shook his head. "Little Zheng, Little Meng, you've reached the mountain!"
The scrawny middle-aged man frowned and said, "General, let's retreat!"
"How many of them?" Zhu Wuji raised his voice.
His voice was as loud as a bell as it reverberated up the mountain.
"Twenty-three!"
"Haha, twenty-three of them want to deal with me? They really don't know what death is!" Zhu Wuji laughed out loud. "Kill them all! Old Jing, I'll leave them to you! "
"Yes!" Although the scrawny middle-aged man did not agree, he could only obey the general's order. He gave a fist salute and dismounted from his horse. Then, he strode out with fifty cavalrymen.
Chu Li led the charge with Xu Cihang and Fan Yang by his side. The three of them unsheathed their long blades. Before they even saw the scrawny middle-aged man, Chu Li shouted, "Shoot!"
Although his inner energy was suppressed, the Omniscient Mirror and the Manifestation of Nature Restoration were unhindered. He could clearly see Zhu Wuji and the scrawny middle-aged man's every move and even their thoughts.
Zhu Wuji's carelessness was a good thing because they could make use of it. However, the scrawny middle-aged man's cautiousness was troublesome. It was best to get rid of him first.
Fortunately, Zhu Wuji was headstrong and would not listen to anyone else's advice. Hence, the scrawny middle-aged man's words might not work.
When they heard Chu Li's shout, the men did not hesitate to shoot arrows even though they did not see anyone.
The arrows fell like rain. When they were about to hit the ground, the scrawny middle-aged man and his men rushed out from behind a boulder and faced the rain of arrows.
"Ding, ding, ding." They quickly waved their circular blades to block the arrows and paused.
During this pause, Chu Li and his men had already rushed over with their blades.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding." Chu Li rushed at the front and swung his blade at lightning speed. With Xu Cihang and Fan Yang protecting him from both sides, the three of them pierced into the fifty men like a triangular wedge.
Chu Li's body was strong. He could fight against a Grandmaster without using his inner energy, let alone these ordinary cavalrymen who could not withstand a single blow from his blade.
The fact that they took the lead inspired the others. The twenty men stepped on the formation and spun forward like a chainsaw. Wherever they passed, scimitars were sent flying and bodies were cut.
In the blink of an eye, they had pierced through fifty men, leaving only wounded men on the ground. They rushed toward Zhu Wuji and his men without hesitation.
When the scrawny middle-aged man saw that the situation was bad, he rushed up the mountain and shot a signal into the sky.
"Boom!" A thunderclap sounded in the sky.
The Flying Cloud Cavalry, who were fighting fiercely under the yellow dust, immediately retreated. Five hundred-man teams rushed toward General Zhu Wuji while the remaining five teams stayed behind to distract the Soaring Eagle Cavalry. Although they were at a disadvantage, they were still able to hold them back.
"What's going on?" Yang Ping looked into the distance and frowned when he saw someone charging toward Zhu Wuji.
Since Chu Li and his men were wearing the armor of the Flying Cloud Cavalry and had covered their faces, they did not recognize Chu Li and his men.
"General, are they having an internal conflict?" Jiang Jinfu was overjoyed. "God is helping Soaring Eagle Cavalry!"
"Yes, it's highly possible!" Yang Ping nodded slowly. "Pass down my order. Pursue them with all your might. No matter what, we must reach the Flying Cloud Cavalry's marshal flag!"
"Yes!" Jiang Jinfu responded and started beating the drum behind him.
