On top of the city gate, Xie Li and the tactician beside him were dazzled!
Originally, they were not optimistic about the cavalry's risky actions. Who would have thought that there would be such a huge surprise?
There were more than a hundred people in this cavalry unit, and all of them were cultivators, especially the young man in the lead. He was undoubtedly the strongest. When he waved his spear, no one within three feet of him would be able to survive. It could be said that the reason why this cavalry unit could be so unstoppable was because of the young man in the lead.
"What a valiant general!" The tactician's eyes lit up. He suddenly cupped his fists and said, "Sir, such a fierce general cannot be lost. If we can subdue this cavalry, we will have a twenty percent chance of victory against the Black Scarf Army."
Xie Li nodded. "Not bad!" Even if the tactician did not mention it, Xie Li would have appreciated such a talent after seeing such a cavalry.
The tactician said, "Based on this subordinate's observation, they seem to want to break through the Black Scarf Army's formation, and they are heading towards the city gate. Sir, we need to provide support!"
Xie Li immediately understood what the tactician was planning. He waved his hand and a messenger came forward. "Sir!"
"Order the city gate guards to open the city gate and provide support to the cavalry below!"
"Yes!"
Although there was a huge risk in opening the city gate at this time, it was worth paying some price if they could receive the cavalry team in.
Such a cavalry would definitely play a huge role in the battle against the Black Scarf Army.
Moreover, the other party was clearly aiming for the city gate. They probably wanted to enter the city to rest and reorganize after the charge. Xie Li was now worried that the back of the cavalry was not enough. If so, they might not be able to reach the city gate.
But soon, he found that his worries were unnecessary. The cavalry of more than a hundred people had not slowed down at all. Occasionally, a horse would be damaged, and the nearby companions would help in time, pulling the victim onto their own horse.
In half a cup of tea's time, the entire Black Scarf Army had been penetrated, and the cavalry was less than three zhang away from the city gate.
"They're here!" Xie Li clenched his fists.
Creak … The heavy gate slowly opened, and a large number of guards swarmed out from within the city. They fought desperately with the black scarves in front of them, creating an opportunity for the cavalry to break through.
Xie Li let out a long sigh. At this point, there should be no more accidents. The cavalry should be able to enter the city safely. However, at this moment, his eyes widened. Extreme shock and astonishment appeared in his eyes as if he had seen something unbelievable.
The tactician's expression froze as well. "What … are they doing?"
In their field of vision, the cavalry that was charging straight towards the city gate actually glided in an arc a thousand feet away from the city gate and charged towards the other side. As always, they were unstoppable!
Weren't they going to enter the city? Were they still going to charge?
"Unreasonable, unreasonable!" That strategist's mentality instantly exploded. How could there be such a boorish person in this world?
The fact that they could pierce through Black Scarf's military formation was indeed astonishing, but how could such an offensive last? In order to receive them, Qian Liu even took the initiative to open the city gates. In the end, they didn't even look at them and turned to leave.
As a result, loopholes appeared in Qian Liu's defense. Instantly, danger arose from all sides.
Originally, Black Scarf couldn't take down the city and could only use lives to fill in the gaps. However, at this moment, the city gates were wide open. The nearby Black Scarf Army immediately swarmed over like cats smelling blood. In an instant, the pressure at the east city gate was enormous. Even if the guards fought desperately, they were defeated and were about to be pushed into the city by Black Scarf.
Xie Li had no energy to pay attention to the cavalry. Under orders, all the guards were hurriedly transferred to the city gates to fill in the gaps. If the city gates weren't closed, this would always be the weakest point in the defense.
Just as he was in a terrible fix, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the cavalry charging back from the corner of his eyes.
They were still so invincible. Everywhere they passed, no one from Black Scarf could resist. They all died tragically on the spot.
The cavalry charged over, and the city gates were instantly empty. The guards who were originally under great pressure stared blankly at the numerous corpses lying on the ground in front of them. For a moment, they were somewhat at a loss.
The cavalry didn't charge too far. Instead, after charging for a while, they made a big turn and charged back, once again annihilating the Black Scarf Army who charged over.
"Such a surprise force …" Xie Li's lips were trembling. He knew that he had underestimated the power of this cavalry. The role that these hundred people played on the battlefield was beyond his imagination. The cavalry's actions at this moment were undoubtedly helping them reduce the pressure on the city gates, allowing them to have the time to close the city gates again.
"Close the city gates!" Xie Li angrily ordered.
After the cavalry charged back and forth a few times, the east city gate was finally closed again. Only then did the cavalry leave the battlefield, as if they had nothing to worry about. They continued to charge and kill without restraint like before.
"Little friend, the commander flag over there is where the Black Scarf Leader is. Kill him and we will win this battle!" Xie Li hurriedly shouted to Lu Ye below.
Indeed, the cavalry killed a lot of Black Scarf Army and completely disrupted the formation of the Black Scarf Army. However, as long as the Black Scarf Leader was not dead, this battle would not end. On the contrary, if they could kill the Black Scarf Leader, the Black Scarf Army would immediately become scattered sand. At that time, even Qian Liu could open the city gates to meet the enemy.
Based on the power displayed by the cavalry before, Xie Li felt that they could complete this decapitation operation and immediately gave a hint.
This was because he found that although the cavalry was brave and unparalleled, they didn't seem to notice the obvious commander flag at all.
However, what made Xie Li feel helpless was that even though he reminded them, the other party didn't intend to follow his instructions. They still charged in the direction with the most Black Scarf Army.
This young man … was he blind?
However, in the next moment, Xie Li revealed a shocked expression. Because under the commander flag, a tall figure suddenly spurred a horse forward, and a group of soldiers followed closely beside him.
Xie Li hurriedly shouted again, "Little friend, be careful. The Black Scarf Leader is coming for you."
Obviously, the other side saw that the destructive power of the cavalry led by Lu Ye was too strong and decided to personally stop them. The Black Turban leader was also helpless. Since the appearance of the cavalry, countless Black Turban Army soldiers had died under their hands. At first, he was also shocked by the strength of the cavalry. The reason why he waited until now was because he felt that the time was right. After such an intense charge, how much strength could the cavalry display?
In order to take down the cavalry in one fell swoop, not only did the Black Scarf Leader personally take action, he even brought his own personal guards. This was the most elite force of the entire Black Scarf Army, and their numbers were more than three times that of the cavalry.
On horseback, Lu Ye, who was leading the charge, blinked. He naturally heard Xie Li's shout and felt helpless …
He had his own plan and didn't want to fight the Black Scarf Leader too early. According to his few experience, if he killed the Black Scarf Leader, this experience would basically be over.
However, he didn't want to kill the enemy, but he couldn't stop the enemy from coming to seek death!
He slightly paid attention to the Black Scarf Leader's position. This was easy to observe because the Black Scarf Leader had a flagbearer next to him.
For the next half an hour, Lu Ye led the cavalry to avoid the Black Scarf Leader's personal guards. This scene made Xie Li speechless, but in the Black Scarf Leader's eyes, this was undoubtedly the other party showing weakness. However, the other party was too fast and slippery like a loach. The Black Scarf Leader tried to surround him several times but failed.
He couldn't help but feel annoyed. He turned to look at his flagbearer and ordered his flag to be covered.
With this, Lu Ye didn't know where the Black Scarf Leader was and could only lead the cavalry to constantly change directions.
After another incense stick's worth of time, a group of soldiers in bright armor suddenly appeared in front of them. The leader had a tempting number of ten thousand floating above his head …
Lu Ye sighed and didn't avoid it.
This couldn't be helped. The Black Scarf Leader deliberately hid himself and deliberately targeted the cavalry, so they would meet sooner or later.
"Smelly brat, let's see where you'll run this time!" The Black Scarf Leader ground his teeth so hard that they almost broke. His face was filled with anger as he glared at Lu Ye, as if he couldn't wait to skin him alive.
Saying so, the Black Scarf Leader personally rushed forward to meet Lu Ye, waving a huge three hundred kilogram machete in his hand.
Behind him, many of his personal guards also stepped forward.
With his Spirit Qi surging, Lu Ye immediately recognized that this guy was a First-Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator. As expected of the Black Scarf Leader, an existence worth ten thousand Asura Seals was different from ordinary soldiers.
After such a long battle, Lu Ye's Spirit Qi and physical strength had been greatly consumed. If he had fought this Black Scarf Leader one on one, he might have had some trouble, but unfortunately, he wasn't alone.
Almost as soon as the Black Scarf Leader chopped down, Lu Ye pushed his Spirit Qi and in an instant, the phantom image of a giant turtle flashed.
The Black Scarf Leader was startled, thinking that his eyes were playing tricks on him …
However, in the next moment, his face changed drastically because the other party's spear was stabbing straight towards him. This spear contained a power that he couldn't resist, causing the machete in his hand to tremble and open wide!
The tip of the spear rapidly enlarged in his field of vision!
[My life is over!]
The Black Scarf Leader felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't believe that after maintaining such a high-intensity battle for such a long time, his opponent could still use such a terrifying killing move!
Just when the Black Scarf Leader thought he was going to die, Lu Ye's spear slightly tilted down and pierced his collarbone.
Then, Lu Ye directly lifted the Black Scarf Leader up and threw him into the distance, "Scram!"
Blood spurted out as the Black Scarf Leader flew out with a stunned look on his face and crashed heavily to the ground.
Atop the city gate, Xie Li's look of pleasant surprise turned into one of shock as the corners of his eyes twitched, "He … what is he doing?"
He had clearly seen that in the brief confrontation just now, Lu Ye clearly had the opportunity to kill the Black Scarf Leader, but for some reason, he had spared his life!
[What does this mean?] Xie Li couldn't understand. (End of this chapter)
