Chapter 110: The Combat Power of the Black Cavalryi

Translator: 549690339

Under the glow of the setting sun, two fast-moving cavalry formations on the plains of Wanning Valley were charging towards each other with all their might.

As the Barbarian Cavalry was about to close in on the Black Cavalry led by Wenren Lie, the Black Cavalry immediately shifted their formation into an offensive configuration.

Soon after, Xiao Pengthian’s cavalry charged into the midst of the Heavy Cavalry formation.

The next moment, on the riverbanks of Wanning Valley, the clashing of weapons and thunderous roars of combat filled the air.

Yet, not far away, the twenty thousand Heavy Cavalry led by Xuanyuan Chen stood still, without any movement.

The Black Cavalry was divided into two parts: the front thirty thousand led by Wenren Lie, responsible for charging and killing, while the rear twenty thousand led by Xuanyuan Chen, tasked with blocking Wanning Valley to prevent any Barbarian Cavalry from breaking through.

The Black Cavalry’s fighting strength was extremely formidable; each Barbarian Cavalry that plunged into their ranks was chopped down from his horse. The weapons used by the Black Cavalry were incomparably sharp; any Barbarian Cavalry struck carelessly by a Black Cavalry sword would almost certainly meet death, both rider and mount.

After a quarter of an hour of relentless combat, the Black Cavalry and the Barbarian Cavalry led by Xiao Pengthian finally parted.

Only when Xiao Pengthian emerged from the Black Cavalry’s formation did he realize that there was another detachment of Black Cavalry, which had made no move, coldly observing them.

Those Black Cavalrymen were like emotionless ghosts, an army of specters from the depths of the underworld.

Xiao Pengthian glanced at the sparse Barbarian soldiers behind him; nearly all of them were wounded, with many having their arms severed.

A single charge, and fewer than ten thousand of their soldiers remained.

Is this the might of Great Xia’s Heavy Cavalry!

Xiao Pengthian had never imagined that one day, Great Xia’s Heavy Cavalry could crush the Barbarian cavalry.

They had encountered their true adversaries!

Xiao Pengthian observed the gash on his own armor and promptly stripped it off, casually throwing it onto the ground.

In front of this cavalry, any armor proved worthless.

At that moment, Xiao Pengthian didn’t charge towards Xuanyuan Chen’s unmoving Black Cavalry; instead, he turned around.

Now they were surrounded, and even if they charged towards the setting sun’s direction, they could not escape.

Xiao Pengthian had already sensed his end; he was certain to die today.

Rather than attempting to break through those immobile cavalrymen and escape, only to die a disgraceful death, it was better to perish on the battlefield.

Xiao Pengthian’s trembling hand raised the axe, and once more he shouted, “To restore the Wolf God’s glory, follow me and charge!!!”

“Kill!!!”

Leading the remaining less than ten thousand Barbarian Cavalry, Xiao Pengthian charged once again towards the Black Cavalry led by Wenren Lie.

A moment later, the two cavalries met again on the banks of Wanning River, and the sounds of battle once again echoed through Wanning Valley.

The sun gradually set, only half of it still shining over Wanning Valley.

The clanging noises became sparser, the cries of the battle grew less, and ultimately, a single man on horseback emerged from the Black Cavalry formation, his body laden with wounds.

Xiao Pengthian, facing the direction of the sun, observed the indifferent Black Cavalry in the distance. Blood slid from his head, his vision obscured by the crimson hue.

His entire world turned red, the color of blood.

Countless memories flashed through Xiao Pengthian’s mind; he recalled being orphaned from a young age, growing up with his elder sister.

Amid the sunset, he perceived the vast expanse of white snow.

He saw the cattle and sheep that had frozen to death, the yurts blown away by fierce winds.

He also saw when the Barbarian Army swept south to plunder Great Xia’s people, the people of Great Xia kneeling and begging for mercy only to be killed nonetheless.

Xiao Pengthian, with his disheveled hair, burst into laughter and then mumbled to himself, “Yaoyao, it looks like your uncle can’t take you to Great Sum after all…”

As the words fell, Xiao Pengthian raised his ax once more, using his last bit of strength, he hoarsely roared:

“Reforge the glory of the Wolf God! Kill!!!”

Alone on his horse against the setting sun, his figure grew longer and fainter.

Wenren Lie raised his hand, signaling the soldiers not to move.

Immediately after, Wenren Lie picked up his hammer and charged directly towards Xiao Pengthian.

Soon, the two met on the corpse-strewn riverbank, with Wenren Lie striking first with a swing of his hammer.

Xiao Pengthian tried to defend, but found he had no strength left in his body.

He was then hit by the hammer, sent flying, spewing out fresh blood, and completely lost consciousness.

Seeing the fifty thousand cavalry clean up and stand still without any action or words, Xuanyuan Chen said in a tone devoid of emotion,” Continue advancing!”

It seemed as though, in Xuanyuan Chen’s eyes, the battle that just occurred might as well had never happened.

Wenren Lie glanced at Xiao Pengthian on the ground and then ordered the soldiers beside him, “Take him with us, hand him over to the Prince.”

“Yes, General.”

The soldier immediately approached Xiao Pengthian, tied him up, and placed him on the back of a horse.

Before long, the fleeing Barbarian cavalry encountered Wenren Lie’s Black Cavalry.

As the sky had already darkened, the Barbarian cavalry initially mistook the Black Cavalry up ahead for Xiao Pengthian’s troops guarding the rear.

However, when the retreating Barbarian cavalry got closer, they suddenly realized that these were actually tens of thousands of Heavy Cavalry.

Without any hesitation, Wenren Lie and Xuanyuan Chen led the fifty thousand Heavy Cavalry towards Yan County, leaving nothing but the bodies of Barbarian cavalry in their wake.

The Barbarian cavalry, having been terrified by the earlier grenade cannons, had lost all will to fight. Moreover, with their king dead and no one to command them, the current Barbarian cavalry had virtually no fighting strength left.

The advancement of the Black Cavalry was incredibly fast. It didn’t take long before they entered the range of the Artillery camp, but by then, the Artillery camp had nearly run out of ammunition, so they didn’t need to worry about friendly fire.

Mu Jingwu stood on a protruding rock and observed the Black Cavalry’s relentless push forward. He felt utterly astonished.

Was this the combat power of the Heavy Cavalry!

Wherever they passed, there were only bodies!

The Black Cavalry slaughtered the Barbarians as if they were mere chickens.

If the royal court knew about these fifty thousand Black Cavalry, Mu Jingwu believed the court would surely send troops north overnight, then station hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Qi Prince’s territory.

Mu Jingwu was very clear about what the Heavy Cavalry meant in this era.

He couldn’t help but wonder when the Prince would vie for that position.

The twilight in the sky gradually dissipated, and a massive moon hung in the sky, its cold moonlight spreading across the ground, enabling people to see clearly ahead even at night.

Regrettably, the Barbarian Army could not discern the direction back home.

The sounds of slaughter echoed ceaselessly in Wanning Valley. Even within Yan County, one could faintly hear the sounds of battle.

The civilians who had not left Yan County hid in their rooms, listening to the combat noises outside the city, spending the entire night without sleep..
