"Young Master, he's awake and wants to see you.”
Commandant Xu cupped his hands and reported. After Jing Yu nodded, two of his soldiers supported an injured man who was covered in smoke and blood. His military uniform was tattered and he was three steps away from Jing Yu. The soldiers released their hands, and that person practically kneeled in front of Jing Yu. However, he did not stop there. He crawled two steps forward and grabbed Jing Yu's feet.
"Young master, you have to save our brothers!”He raised his head at the highest angle, and two streaks of tears were left on his ash-covered face." They're being chased by the Qin soldiers. They won't be able to hold on for long.”
Jing Yu squatted down and helped him up. He smiled and said,"Don't worry, I've already sent scouts out. Once we find the army you mentioned, the army will go to rescue them as quickly as possible. These were all soldiers of the Chu Country. One had to believe that they would not watch their brothers die in vain.”
When the surrounding Chu soldiers heard this, they all nodded heavily. The man's face looked serene as he slowly closed his eyes. Jing Yu did not need to check his breath to know that he was already dead. Right at this moment, a horse galloped back from the front, and hundreds of horses approached from behind.
"Young lord, we've discovered the Qin army and several thousand of our infantry in pursuit five kilometers ahead.”When the knight in front approached, he jumped off his warhorse and reported.
"Young master, we have completed the task you gave us.”A lieutenant from the hundreds of cavalry behind him cupped his hands and said. The soldiers behind him each carried a bundle of branches in their arms. From their expressions, it was obvious that they did not know what this was for.
"Just in time! Commandant Xu, send out more scouts and kill the Qin scouts. If you do well, I will reward you.”
Jing Yu ordered. Then, he waved at the surrounding lieutenants, beckoning them to come closer. A scroll made of silk was laid on the ground. It was a topographic map. He pointed at a few places on it and then gave orders. Not long after, Commandant Xu's 1,000 light cavalry and 2,000 heavy cavalry left first. The remaining 2,000 riders distributed the branches and tied them to the horses 'tails.
Doing all of this meant that they would be late for the three thousand cavalry who had set off earlier. Jing Yu jumped onto his mount and pulled out his spear that weighed more than 40 pounds and was forged using the same method as Black Sword. He raised his hand, and the neat sound of armor rubbing against each other mixed with the sound of hooves could be heard. Following that, the remaining two thousand cavalry followed him. They maintained the stamina of their horses and ran towards the defeated Chu army at their fastest speed.
The terrain here was relatively flat and open. On the way, the formation of this army changed. From the original triangular attack mode, four rows were arranged in parallel, and the back row filled the gap in the front row. At the very front was only Jing Yu. However, behind him, smoke and dust billowed as if thousands of troops were galloping.
About eight miles away from their starting point, the defeated Chu army was finally caught up by the Qin army in black. The silver-armored soldiers could be said to have been slaughtered one-sidedly. Having lost the will to fight, they would have been no different from stray dogs if not for the fact that they still had the hope of being rescued.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous boom and the ground shook. The two sides stopped fighting for a moment and looked at the rising dust in the distance. Below it, on the light blue flag in front, there was clearly a big "Xiang" character.
"It's the cavalry of the Xiang Clan. We're saved.”A Chu Country soldier with sharp eyes shouted.
The Qin army was momentarily flustered. Soon after, an officer organized them to retreat from the Chu army and form a defensive formation. The shield was outside, and the long spear was pointed at the cavalry formation. At the same time, a signal flare rose from the rear of their line, bursting with a red flash under the blue sky.
The silver-armored Chu soldiers were not stupid. Seeing that the cavalry was coming from the front, an officer hurriedly called for the soldiers to move to the side, making way for the cavalry.
The cavalry changed into a triangular formation again. Finally, they got closer. Only then did someone see the leader clearly. He was wearing black and gold armor, and had two long red cloaks that fluttered behind his back. He held a black halberd in one hand and his eyes were like two cold lightning bolts.
"Kill them!"
He pointed his halberd at the Qin army and shouted. His killing intent assaulted the Qin army that was only a few dozen steps away. Even his black pupils were clearly imprinted in the eyes of the Qin soldiers. It was as if it came from an unstoppable demon god, causing the shield-wielding soldiers to tremble collectively. When he looked again, he was clearly already close. The Qin army had fought against Han, Zhao and Wei for many years, and they were naturally elite troops. The shieldbearers in the front row hurriedly lowered their bodies and desperately blocked the shield.
However, at this moment, the black spear drew a black light and exploded on the shield like a thunderbolt. Before the shield-wielding soldier could figure out what was happening, he was knocked unconscious by the shield. He followed the shield and crashed into the others behind him and beside him.
The Chu army on the side saw it the most clearly. The might of the general's spear had actually created a huge gap in the orderly formation of the Qin army's shields. He charged into the Qin army's line of defense, which was still in a daze. He only cared about waving his spear left and right, but no one could block his attack. In just a moment, he had single-handedly killed thousands of Qin soldiers. Looking behind him, there were clearly the corpses of the Qin army that had been blown into the sky and landed on the ground.
Many of the defeated soldiers who were sitting on the ground and panting for breath had stood up again. He felt a surge of hot blood in his heart. Someone picked up a stone from the ground and rushed towards the Qin army.
The two officers behind Jing Yu were also shocked by his ferocious performance. Having been in the army for many years, they understood what such combat strength meant on the battlefield. He was excited, but he also felt that it would be a waste to let the cavalry follow Jing Yu…In fact, Jing Yu was surrounded by the powerful force of his halberd, plowing out an empty space. The two of them urged their mounts and changed directions, leading the soldiers to the other side.
Jing Yu's performance had destroyed the will of the Qin soldiers, causing most of them to be unable to muster up any resistance. The Chu cavalry seemed to have entered a no-man's land, and after a few rounds of killing, the Qin army shouted and fled into the distance.
At this moment, from the direction where the Qin army came from, there was a cloud of dust similar to when the Chu cavalry appeared. It was obvious that a large number of Qin cavalry had arrived. Jing Yu immediately raised his halberd, and the cavalrymen chasing after the Qin infantry quickly gathered behind him. They once again formed a reunion formation and followed Jing Yu to charge towards the Qin Country cavalry regiment.
In terms of numbers, judging from the rising smoke and dust, there were probably more than ten thousand Qin cavalrymen. Even the soldiers of the Chu State knew that the cavalry of the Qin State could not be like them, tying branches to their ponytails to confuse the enemy's judgment. However, they found it strange that they were not afraid and felt that they had lost.
Many people's eyes were fixed on the small figure in black and gold armor at the front.
That was the source of their confidence.
This time, when Jing Yu pointed his black halberd forward, the word "kill" was shouted by the 2,000 people behind him. The corner of Jing Yu's mouth curled up slightly. Seeing that the enemy's leader was a general, he took the lead and urged his horse to meet that person. The enemy general was surprised, but he also had a disdainful smile on his face as he ran out ahead of the main group. However, the moment they clashed, he was picked up by Jing Yu on the spear tip. Jing Yu's mount didn't stop. He swung his long spear and smashed the general into the enemy formation. He then charged in from the tip.
With his performance, the Chu cavalry behind him once again shouted in high spirits,"Kill, kill, kill…" Following the path he opened, he charged into the Qin cavalry formation. At the same time, from the two sides of the slope, two more Chu cavalry rushed down. It was Commandant Xu's army that had left earlier.
The three groups of cavalrymen attacked, and the Qin army that had lost their momentum fled in defeat. Jing Yu led his troops to chase after them, cutting through all obstacles along the way, breaking through three formations of the Qin army, and directly killing his way to the camp of the Qin army. At this point, a total of three Qin Commandant level generals had been killed by him.
