"But didn't Mengyao come today?”
Xue Li said as if he was puzzled.
Yan Mengyao was a young lady from the Bai Yue Clan. She had fled to this mountain range because of the chaos of war, seeking a stable and free life.
Xue Li and Mengyao only met because of an accident ten years ago.
From a chance encounter when they were practicing the halberd, the two of them formed an indissolvable bond, as if it was fate.
Meng Yao seemed to be very interested in Xue Li's 'One-handed Eighteen Halberds' that he cultivated day and night. She would bring some delicious fruits or small animals that she hunted over almost every day.
She often sat on a tree branch, propping her face with her hands, watching Xue Li sweat as he cultivated.
After the cultivation ended, the two of them would enjoy food together and listen to Xue Li tell all kinds of interesting stories. Sometimes, they would be fascinated, and sometimes, they would let out a girlish chuckle.
The next day, the two of them would wait in the same place with a tacit understanding.
At the same time, as a member of the Bai Yue Clan, Mengyao also mastered some kind of 'beast taming technique'. It wasn't that amazing, but it could make the animals listen to her more easily. However, it needed to be tamed in advance.
"This little girl should have been delayed by something."
"Whoosh!"
"The sound of a bowstring? And the sound of horse hooves?"
Suddenly, a slight sound entered his ears. Xue Li quickly caught this point.
There were at least dozens of them. The mountain range he lived in was at the border between Qin and Zhao. There was only one possibility for such a sound to be emitted!
"Oh no! If the State of Zhao discovered this place, it would be bad.”
The Flood Dragon Silver Halberd pierced through the huge rock. Xue Li walked straight up and pulled it out. When he held the weapon in his hand, his aura and deterrence would rise several levels.
"Go and take a look. If it's the Qin army, leave. If it's the Zhao army..."
A trace of killing intent flashed in Xue Li's eyes.
Although he had never killed anyone, he would never allow his hometown to be discovered by the State of Zhao.
If he didn't get rid of them as soon as possible, it wouldn't be just a matter of a few dozen cavalry. It would be an army of tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers. At that time, no matter how brave he was, he wouldn't be able to resist so many enemies.
After making up his mind, Xue Li quickly rushed in the direction of the sound of the crossbow.
After ten years of training, he managed to cover dozens of meters in just a few moves.
"Quick, quick, quick! Catch that man in white!"
"Don't let him go! Escort him back to Zhao and wait for his punishment!”
"The promotion is right in front of us. Soldiers, don't slack off. Gather your strength and chase after them!”
“.........”
Arriving at a slope, Xue Li looked down and saw dust flying everywhere.
A white-robed middle-aged man was being escorted by ten or so black-armored Great Qin Cavalrymen as he continuously fled.
Behind him were more than 40 white-armored Zhao cavalry. They were chasing after the middle-aged man, refusing to let go. It was as if they wanted to capture him alive.
As the sounds of arrows continuously rang out, Great Qin's Cavalry, who were at a disadvantage in numbers, fell one by one.
In just a few breaths, there were only eight people left.
Not only that, but the distance between the two was also constantly closing.
Then, as if they had made up their minds, the remaining eight people stopped their escape and pulled out the bronze swords at their waists. With expressions of facing death, they launched a counterattack against the enemy!
"For Great Qin! We will never retreat!"
"If you want to continue chasing, then step over my body!”
"The people of Old Qin have never been cowards!"
“.........”
They maintained their high fighting spirit and faced the Zhao cavalry that outnumbered them by several times, not a single one of them retreated.
In the Qin country, the system of military merits was very clear.
Not only would one gain military merits by killing enemies, but they would also receive additional rewards if they were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect important people.
At the very least, even after they died, their wives and children would be able to enjoy good treatment. They did not have to worry about anything. They only needed to fight to the death! Even if he had to die, he had to tear a piece of flesh off the enemy!
In fact, after killing an enemy, their descendants could inherit their titles and become nobles. This was why Great Qin's soldiers were so fearless!
Relying on his fearless aura, the Zhao army was unable to advance for a moment.
However, there was still a general of the Zhao army who went around them. He didn't want to waste time here and directly chased after them.
"Save? Or not?"
"This is the first time I've fought a general of the State of Zhao.”
"However, to be able to make Great Qin's cavalry protect him without any regard for their own safety, that white-robed man definitely has an extraordinary status.”
“........”
Seeing the change in the situation, Xue Li frowned.
There was a certain risk in rushing out at this time, but there were also extremely high benefits.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xue Li's mind. In the end, he got rid of all the distracting thoughts, leaving behind only one choice.
"I've learned martial arts for many years. How can I be afraid?”
"This battle can be used as a whetstone to test my current strength.”
"As Great Qin's 'Peerless Kingdom Knight,' I cannot retreat and will bravely charge forward!”
Xue Li, who had made up his mind, held the Flood Dragon Silver Halberd in his hand and headed in the direction where the white-robed man had fled.
Although they did not have a mount, in this kind of rugged terrain, their running speed was not inferior to that of a warhorse. In fact, they were even faster.
