C566 Warring (Medium)

Every second on the battlefield was long, but every second was instantaneous. In reality, this was just an illusion in the human heart.

Just like that, Wu Gang and his soldiers who were preparing to face the enemy felt that the charging cavalry was extremely fast, in a blink of an eye, they had already closed the distance by dozens of metres, it could even be said that it was' as fast as lightning, its power as great as the bell '!

As for the black-armored cavalry, they felt that the charge was a long journey. From the start of the charge until now, they had already spurred their warhorses to speed up their charge for the seventh time. However, this speed still didn't satisfy them.

Looking at the formation, the rider at the front of the wedge shaped charging formation scoffed disdainfully. This kind of defensive formation might work against normal light cavalry, but against heavy cavalry, it was not much better than that piece of paper.

Thousands of attacks and tens of thousands of attacks gave them full confidence and a lot of experience. They had reason to believe that as long as they were on the side of the charge, there wouldn't be any defenses that they couldn't break through.

Looking at the approaching cavalry and the fact that Wu Gang no longer bothered with the arrows, Lei Sheng smiled coldly and spurred his horse on, dashing down the mountain like a gust of wind.

At the same time, on the other side of the valley, on the flat and open area, an army suddenly appeared. This army was made up of both infantry and on both sides were light cavalry soldiers.

However, the only thing that was eye-catching was that this new unit looked somewhat like a no-name army. This was because most of this unit was wearing silver standard armor, but there were also troops with black armor mixed in.

The leader of this troop was actually a young general. Although the armor he wore looked exquisite, it always gave off the feeling of trying to attract attention from the masses.

The only thing that caught everyone's attention was a long spear made of an unknown silver material. The spear had a coiling dragon on it, and the tip of the spear was protruding from the dragon's mouth, emitting a cold light. The white spear tassel was fluttering in the wind like a soul flag.

This spear had a name, and was called the 'Coiling Dragon Spear'. It was one of the functions of the Illusory Dragon Pearl, and in order to summon this spear, the current Gongsun Ze Tian was actually covered with layers of scales inside his armor. He was like a personal dragon or a snake, but he could not be seen by others, otherwise Gongsun Ze Tian would definitely treat him like a monster.

This infantry unit was led by Gongsun Zaitian, he had chosen to take the initiative very quickly, if he had come early, Wu Gang would have chosen to change his strategy, and if he had come late, Lei Sheng would not have been able to cause much pressure, and Lei Sheng's Black Armoured Army would have suffered unnecessary casualties. This was not what Gongsun Zaitian wanted to see.

The reason why he brought all his troops to stop Wu Gang's army today was mainly not to eliminate Wu Gang himself, but to announce the annihilation of the nine kings' main branch. As for Wu Gang and his subordinates, it all depended on their performance.

When Gongsun Zaitian suddenly led his army and appeared from the side, it made an obvious change to the soldiers under Wu Gang's command. As for Wu Gang, he was only strong and composed, he was sure that he and the soldiers here would not be spared today.

Honestly speaking, Wu Gang felt a little regretful. He had not even met the master that Fan Tian He had mentioned, but he had already been surrounded by the army of the imperial government. It was like the heavens were trying to destroy him.

Right now, the only thing Wu Gang could do was to endure the first round of attacks, and then wait for the opportunity to bring his subordinates away from this place. As for those people from the Ninth King, he did not have the time to care about their lives.

A few high-ranking officers were gathered together in the cavalry phalanx at the side, discussing softly.

"What do you think we should do now?"

"What else can we do? They would immediately call themselves the Nine Kings' Private Army, and then assist this Surveillance Council's army to annihilate Wu Gang's army. Isn't this the letter the Nine Kings gave us? Furthermore, we are constantly sending ourselves to our deaths in Blood Illusion Valley. On one hand, we are trying to seize those maps for the King, and on the other hand, we are trying to reduce the number of our troops so that we can meet the standards of the private army. Right now, the number of our riders are about there too.

"No, this can't happen. The premise of this plan is that the army encircled and annihilated by the Empire is ordinary soldiers, not the elite soldiers of the Capital Overwatch Council!"

"What's the difference?"

"Idiot, of course there's a difference, if it's just normal military, then we can use the name of the Ninth Prince, and at that time we can say what we want, who would dare to question the orders of the Nine Kings? But Capital Overwatch Council is different, they don't need to piss off you, you nine kings and not nine kings! If they could completely have the power to annihilate all of us, even if the nine kings were to find Surveillance Council for a theory, they could just say that we were mixed up with Wu Gang, and annihilating us would be a form of accidental injury! At that time, we will die in vain, and the nine kings will be helpless against the Surveillance Council! "

"Then what should we do?"

"Seeing that we can only fight now, I have to think of a way to break out of this encirclement. Then, I can think of another way! But thinking about it, Wu Gang should have already been completely destroyed by that army! "

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Go where? If you want to just walk, you have to have a way to break out of the encirclement! "

"This ?"

"Master Zhao, General Zhao, don't keep us in the dark anymore, hurry up and tell us!"

"That's right!" Given how much you have analyzed, you should have a solution for this! We will listen to you! "

"Forget it, let me first talk about my train of thoughts. Please help me analyze it!"

"Speak!"

"Those who are charging from the mountains, they are definitely the elite troops from the fifth branch of Capital Overwatch Council, there is no doubt about that, and the ones who are rushing from that direction should not belong to the Surveillance Council, you can tell just by their clothes! Furthermore, I have determined that the combat strength of this troop is not necessarily that strong! "

"How do you know?"

"Look, there are Surveillance Council s among them, which means they are unable to fight on their own. Or rather, it could be said that Lei Sheng does not trust the fighting strength of this army, and is worried that he will be unable to stop us from breaking out of the encirclement.

"So you're saying that we have to break out from this direction?"

"That's right, the leader is too young, he must not have any experience. Furthermore, they are all infantry, how can they stop the charge of our cavalry? Furthermore, we are not trying to break through them, we are only trying to break out of the encirclement. When the time comes, we will just have to gallop our horses and flee.

"Brilliant!"

"Enough, we should also move now. If we wait a little longer, the Surveillance Council's cavalry will rush down and it will be hard for us to move again!"

"Alright!"

The few of them had finished discussing, and did not bother to greet Wu Gang either. Most probably, they did not want to report him either, it would be good if they did not beat around the bush.

These people led all the cavalry soldiers and charged towards Gongsun Zaitian's infantry unit.

Hearing the disturbance on the side, Wu Gang turned his head to look. It didn't matter if he looked, but once he saw them, he jumped in fright.

Originally, they could have thought of ways to escape, but now, even the only cavalry that could be used to break through the encirclement was killed by these trash.

Wu Gang was not that group of trash. Although he had noticed the arrival of this new troop, he was not as optimistic as them. Furthermore, the opponents seemed to be very concerned about their weakness, as they were actually just a trap used to show their weakness.

If Wu Gang had a choice, he would rather fight with Lei Sheng a few more times than to fight with the commander on the other side who was hiding something. It was too bizarre, too insidious, and too sinister.

Of course, Wu Gang did not think that the young officer was the commander of this troop, nor did he think that all the arrangements for this sniper battle would come from the hands of this young man.

Seeing that the riders were about to leave and not return, Wu Gang sighed helplessly. He even thought, if possible, should he think about how to surrender?

Without giving Wu Gang much time to think, Lei Sheng, leading the cavalry soldiers, was already in front of him. Wu Gang quickly regained his senses, and then ordered loudly: "Prepare to meet the enemy!"

As soon as he finished his sentence, the powerful heavy cavalry soldier crashed into the horse repelling formation.

It was completely different from what they had imagined. Not only was the repulsive formation unable to stop the charge of the cavalrymen, it even caused the enemy to suffer from the slightest amount of casualties. It was as easy as paper, easily breaking through their defenses.

After the loud sound of the collision, the only sound that could be heard was that of the trampling of horses' hooves and miserable howls.

The cavalry forward seemed to be aiming to break through the defenses. They just held their long spears high and charged forward. As for the following cavalry, they brandished their curved sabers and kept on slashing at the enemy troops around the horses.

The bloody scene was enough to make one shudder just by looking at it. However, the slaughter that was almost one-sided continued.

Wu Gang's heart was chilled to the bone. His heart, which was originally on the verge of fighting, had fallen even further into the valley. He did not expect that his opponent's battle prowess would be so strong, nor did he expect that the direct descendants of the nine kings would be so weak.

After all, the nine kings had been in the imperial city for a long time and had been unable to leave even half a step outside, so they had heard of the situation. As for these generals, it was already not bad that they could finally become nine kings. Nonsense! A few more people wanted Wu Gang to train their subordinates with all of his strength, to make sure that their soldiers would become elites.

When they were attacking Blood Illusion Valley, Wu Gang had already suspected them from the start, but he had thought that those direct line generals were playing tricks on him, and probably let some of the weaker soldiers be responsible for attacking the city, so Wu Gang did not pursue this matter.

Looking at it now, the so-called direct descendant of the Ninth King was actually not much stronger than the city guards. Furthermore, this bit of fighting strength was still hoping to compete with the elites of Surveillance Council.

After thinking through all of these, Wu Gang felt relieved, but the battle still continued. He could not relax just yet, at least he had to risk it all for his subordinates.
