"You guys retreat first and rush to the canal. I'll catch up with you later!”Song Shidao said to Qin Qiong and the others.
Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and these hundred cavalrymen, he had to protect them.
These elite soldiers were extremely important to Song Shidao and the Song Clan.
This was because these people were the backbone of Zhang Xutuo's cavalry. They were the elites of the elites, and they could look down on the rest of the world.
Cavalry was very important to the Song clan.
The Song clan was located in a place like Lingnan, which was mountainous and rugged. More importantly, Lingnan basically did not produce horses.
It was precisely because of this that although the Lingnan army was elite, they were basically infantry. There were only a few thousand cavalrymen, and they were armed by constantly purchasing warhorses over the years.
Lingnan had also invited many generals and soldiers from the border areas to come back as coaches, and they had barely trained a cavalry with decent combat strength.
But how could that cavalry be compared to these people?
How could those coaches be compared to these experts who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood?
Among the hundreds of cavalrymen, many of them had already broken through to the Houtian realm. They were the most elite soldiers under Zhang Xutuo.
Almost all of them had participated in Yang Su's crusade against the Turks, the Sui Emperor's crusade against Goguryeo, and the suppression of the peasant uprising.
They were the true battle-hardened troops, elite trump cards. It would be a pity if they fell here!
If he brought these people back to Lingnan and used them as the backbone and coaches, he could train a strong cavalry with them as the foundation.
In the future, when the north pacified the Central Plains, how could they do it without cavalry?
In the future, when they conquered Liaodong, they would not lack cavalry from the Hanmo in the north to the Gaoyuan in the south. If they waited until then to form cavalry, it would be too late!
The Song clan had a long-term strategic vision. They had long noticed the importance of cavalry and had been working hard to build strong cavalry.
However, all this while, the Song family had been suffering from a lack of powerful warhorses, good soldiers, and excellent coaches.
And now, Song Shidao wanted to bring the best cavalry coach back to the Song Clan.
Therefore, he had to save these people today and bring them back. Even if they didn't want to go to the Song Clan, Song Shidao had to kidnap them.
Hearing Song Shidao's words, Qin Qiong and the others didn't force themselves. Instead, they immediately led the cavalry towards the Grand Canal.
They knew that they would only be a burden if they stayed here. They would not be of any use, and they might even be a burden to Song Shidao.
They had all witnessed Song Shidao's strength. He was almost on par with a Grandmaster. Even if he was no match for the two of them, he would still have no problem escaping.
Moreover, with Song Shidao's identity, Li Mi and the others might not dare to do anything to him!
Di Rang and Li Mi did not stop Qin Qiong and the others from leaving. Even if they wanted to stop them, they had to get past Song Shidao first.
"Song Shidao, our Wa Gang has no enmity with your Song Clan, and we even have many business dealings with you. Why did you attack us today?”
Di Rang walked up and asked with a cold expression.
He was very angry in his heart. It was not because he let Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin go. To be honest, those two people were not on him.
In Di Rang's opinion, as long as he killed Zhang Xutuo, even if some of his subordinates managed to escape, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Even Li Mi thought so, so they let Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin leave without any obstruction.
Otherwise, with their strength as Grandmasters, even with Song Shidao blocking their way, they would have no problem stopping the two exhausted Xiantian Lords.
What really infuriated Zhai Rang was Song Shidao's interference.
Or rather, at this moment, he was filled with anger and fear.
He didn't understand why Song Shidao was here.
Was he representing himself or the Song Clan?
If he was representing himself, then everything would be fine. Everyone would just say a few words and then disperse. They couldn't possibly do anything to Skyblade Song Que's son.
If they had really left Song Shidao here today, it would not take long for Di Rang and Li Mi to lose their heads.
However, if Song Shidao was doing this on behalf of the Song Clan, then the meaning behind it was a little shocking!
What did it mean for the Song clan to help a general of the Great Sui Dynasty?
Could it be that the Song Family had sided with Yang Guang?
Or perhaps, the Song clan wanted to become enemies with Wa Gang, so they saved his enemy?
No matter which possibility it was, it was worthy of Wagang's attention!
Whether it was Di Rang or the cunning Li Mi, they both felt that it was a little tricky at this moment.
