"There's hope! There was hope! Bubu!" Seeing the introduction of the horn, Liu Bian was overjoyed. His entire body was in pain, but he endured the pain and blew the horn with all his might, as if he was afraid that others would not hear it if he blew it softly. The horn suddenly sounded, attracting the attention of the enemy. Everyone was confused. They were already on the verge of death, so why did they blow the horn instead of running away? Hou Cheng said upon seeing this. "Xing Gong, this little girl can't take it anymore. Leave this to me.”
With the surrounding people holding her back, Mu Guiying's physical strength could not keep up. Hou Cheng was fighting alone. Although it was a little difficult, there were still many soldiers surrounding her. Even if Mu Guiying's current strength was much higher than Hou Cheng's, she would not be able to win in a short period of time. Hou Cheng also knew that as long as he could take down Liu Bian, Mu Guiying would definitely lose. Seeing Cao Xing leave, Mu Guiying wanted to stop him, but Hou Cheng and the soldiers stopped her.
Even though he was still as brave as before, he was still unable to shake off Hou Cheng's entanglement even after chopping down a dozen soldiers. Cao Xing led his troops over, and when he saw this scene, Liu Bian was shocked. Why wasn't the damned person here yet? Didn't they say that they could summon the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun? Cao Xing rode his horse over and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. His spear was already thrusting over. However, at this moment, a sound of air being torn apart could be heard.。Whoosh!
"Hmm? Ah!" Cao Xing was worthy of being one of the Eight Warriors. His reaction was better than Hu Zhen, who was killed by Mu Guiying's flying knife. He sensed the danger and quickly raised his head. He withdrew his attack and suddenly turned his head. He saw a sharp arrow pass through his face. He felt pain on his face. The sharp light left a bloody mark on his face and passed through his ear. Cao Xing clearly felt that he was only a little bit away from death a moment ago.
"Protect the lord! Kill without mercy!" A hoarse voice rang out in everyone's ears. Eighteen pitch-black figures swept over from the direction of the arrow. Their bodies emitted a dense killing intent, as if their killing intent could be seen with the naked eye. None of them wore ghost masks, only revealing their eyes. Their eyes seemed to glow red in the dark night. They charged forward, and the strong horses directly scattered the enemy formation.
They also wore long black cloaks and wore Hu riding boots that were equipped with daggers. They carried bows on their backs, each carrying eighteen arrows, and a full moon scimitar on their waists. Cold light flashed in the night, and each of them held a broad-edged hook knife. The edge of the knife extended diagonally from one side to the other. There were several barbs on the back of the knife, faintly emitting a bloody cold light. This knife was designed for killing. The blade was long and heavy, and the length of the handle was similar to the blade. It was similar to a weapon like the Mo knife and Zhanmadao.
The eighteen men were all dressed in black, from their bodies to their horses. They were not wearing heavy armor, and even their horses were wearing heavy armor. They were not people who could be hurt by ordinary weapons. The last man had a white flag with the word " Yan " hanging behind his horse, which was the symbol of the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun. The eighteen men rushed into the enemy formation, and the leader approached Liu Bian first, waving his saber from below. Cao Xing saw the oddly-dressed cavalrymen coming, so he quickly blocked them.
The clang of the weapon rang out. He immediately felt a strong force coming at him. He held the spear tightly and pressed down. He pushed aside the blade of the person and stabbed straight. Suddenly, he heard a clang. The sharp spearhead was pressed against the chest of the person. It was difficult for him to move forward. Cao Xing did not expect the armor of his opponent to be so hard. He was shocked and wanted to withdraw his spear, but he saw that his opponent had grabbed the handle of the spear, making it difficult for Cao Xing to withdraw his spear.
"Die!" Cao Xing was terrified when he said that. The blade fell in the dark night, and Cao Xing could not dodge it. Once it fell from the forehead, the hook blade was heavy, and the attacker was even more powerful. When the blade fell, red and white things scattered. One of the eight warriors was cut into two and died miserably. Cao Xing was killed to temporarily protect Liu Bian. "The man dismounted and came in front of Liu Bian. My lord is on high, and Wang Yang, the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun, came to the rescue late.”
"It's fine! You've waited just in time, hurry... Save Guiying first! Hurry up and go!" Seeing this, Liu Bian could not care about anything else. The most important thing now was to save Mu Guiying as soon as possible. This woman was willing to sacrifice herself for him. Wang Yang was the leader of the 18 riders of Yanyun. After hearing this, he quickly responded, got on his horse, and began to give orders. "Old Eight, Old Nine, Old Ten! The three of you protect the lord. If anything happens, bring your head up! Kill the rest with me! Leave no one alive!"
"Yes, sir!" Under Wang Yang's orders, the three of them dismounted and stayed by Liu Bian's side to protect him. The remaining fifteen riders charged out at the same time and started a massacre. Just as Wang Yang had said, not a single one was left alive. Under the sharp blades and arrows, no one survived. At this moment, such a slaughter was like a meat grinder. Even the ferocious Western Liang army felt a deep fear. Most importantly, their swords could not hurt these people at all. Looking at the blood-stained ghost mask, many of the weak-willed soldiers retreated in fear.
"Ghost…A ghost! Surrender…I surrender, don't kill me!" He killed without blinking and was impenetrable. Coincidentally, he was wearing a ghost mask. If he wasn't a ghost, then what was he? Finally, someone couldn't help but throw down his weapon. It was the soldier closest to the Eighteen Cavalry. However, he saw Wang Yang holding his sword and ignoring the pleas of the enemy. He directly chopped the person who surrendered and begged for mercy to the ground without showing any mercy. The Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun never knew what mercy was. They only knew how to kill. There was no such thing as surrender or mercy.
"Male nature! Ah!" At this moment, seeing how ferocious the eighteen riders were, Hou Cheng was distracted. Mu Guiying seized the opportunity to jump away from Hou Cheng and hit him. Hou Cheng was shocked and quickly dodged. Although he avoided fatal injuries, it was difficult to completely dodge. In the blink of an eye, the arm holding the knife was separated from his body. Blood flew everywhere and Hou Cheng let out a mournful cry.
"Retreat... Retreat!" Enduring the pain, Hou Cheng quickly gave the order. Losing an arm was already enough for that little girl. Now, there was still that ghost-like troop. If they didn't leave now, they would die here. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to capture Liu Bian, but their lives were more important. Seeing that the eighteen cavalry were still chasing after them, they killed dozens of people. Liu Bian hurriedly shouted when he saw that the eighteen cavalry were still chasing after them. "Stop chasing!"
Liu Bian knew very well that according to the principle of the Eighteen Cavalry, they would not show any mercy once they appeared. They would not give up even if they chased them into Luoyang City, let alone here. However, it was obviously not the time to chase them. Although the Eighteen Cavalry were strong, they were only limited to surprise attacks. If they were to face the hundreds of thousands of Western Liang soldiers in Luoyang City head-on, they would not be able to do anything. Moreover, the most important thing now was to leave this place. Without the protection of the Eighteen Cavalry, it was impossible.
