Chapter 20 The Eve of the Siege

Zishi, Xiaoguan.

Four thousand Yingyang cavalry are ready to go.

Their strong armor shimmered with a metallic texture under the moonlight.

The horse in hand is emitting a bit of cold light intentionally or unintentionally.

The tall war horses with stern faces and extremely dull atmosphere are the most striking features of this cavalry.

"Let's go, target Lingshou!"

Shi Wansui, who was fully dressed in military uniform, glanced at the Eagle Cavalry with his tiger-like eyes, and then announced the order in a cold voice.

Although Qin Yu asked him to garrison Xiaoguan, who was Shi Wansui? Historical records record that he had unparalleled archery skills. He dared to fight hand-to-hand in front of the two armies. When he was young, he went into the Turkic tribe alone to plunder horses and returned.

How could such a master who was not afraid of heaven or earth stay and garrison at Xiaoguan?

"promise!"

After the eagle cavalry roared in unison, they poured out from the majestic Xiaoguan like a flood that broke through a dam.

The rhythmic sound of horse hooves and the pleasant sound of metal collision were the only sounds at this time.

"This cavalry is really terrifying!"

On the city wall of Xiaoguan, a lieutenant in the pass spoke with lingering fear in front of Xu Yuan.

Although he usually prides himself on being brave, when he saw the Great Sui Eagle Cavalry at close range today, he felt like a chicken with its neck pinched.

"It's terrible, how terrible is it that the Xi Chu Hussar Camp can descend half of Hexi in one night?"

Xu Yuan glanced angrily at the captain who had just spoken.

In his eyes, the people of the Qin Dynasty should rely on fortified cities and passes to stop the enemy, instead of acting like reckless men and fighting to the death with those Western Chu barbarians.

"General Xu, I think this new general might actually be able to defeat Wang Cheng."

The captain spoke in a muffled voice. The awe-inspiring feeling of oppression just now was more than twice as strong as when he faced the Xichu people.

"Dream!"

"I've seen that in a short time, this new governor will be crying and begging me to clean up the mess!"

Xu Yuan sneered. The Eagle Cavalry was indeed elite, but the Western Chu Cavalry across the Eastern Spiritual Territory was even more notorious.

Field warfare was the domain of the Western Chu people, and even the first dynasty, Dali, recognized it.

The people of Xichu were born in the Dongling Prairie. Each of them is a born knight. In terms of cavalry combat power, the people of Xichu are unparalleled in Dongling.

Thirty years ago, Da Qin's Hedong Jingqi had a head-on encounter with the Western Chu cavalry, and Da Qin won that battle.

But the price paid was that more than 10,000 Hexi knights died in the battle, while the Xichu people only left less than a thousand corpses.

…………

The sky turned slightly white, and the Great Sui Eagle Cavalry galloped all night before entering the territory of Lingshou.

"General, according to the guide, less than thirty miles ahead is Lingshou City!"

The stern-faced Yingyang Knight spoke in a deep voice.

Although he had been galloping all night, there was no sign of any fatigue from his appearance.

The rest of the Yingyang Knights are probably the same. You have to know that their full body armor, plus the horseshoes made of fine steel, weigh more than a hundred kilograms in total. (Fantasy world, please don't disturb me)

The reason why they can march with heavy loads so easily is because each of them is a warrior who has advanced to the level of martial arts.

Only the body can withstand such intense consumption after it has returned to its original nature.

Although the Great Sui Eagle Cavalry is only a purple-quality unit in the hero summoning system, it belongs to the lowest category in the system.

But this minimum is relative to other quality system arms.

If Shi Wansui's cavalry were placed in Dongling, I am afraid that except for Hua Xiong's Xiliang cavalry, no other troops would dare to challenge the Eagle Cavalry.

After all, in other countries, innate warriors are already the mainstay of the military, and they cannot be used as cabbage envoys like the system.

"Go ahead and march at full speed!"

Shi Wansui, who was wearing black armor, after listening to the knight's words, solemnly announced the order to continue marching at full speed.

At this time, his eyes were filled with coldness, and his slightly rough face was filled with a cruel smile.

"Hussars?"

"Tiger of Western Chu!"

After today, they will be just withered bones under the hooves of my long-lived horse.

"promise!"

The knight responded in a deep voice without any hesitation.

Summoned by the system, they really seem to be robots, loyal and reliable.

A moment later, the Eagle Cavalry was like a torrent of black steel, pressing towards Lingshou City thirty miles away.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

Their team was still very quiet. If there were no more than the inadvertent sounds of armor clashing and the roar of horses' hooves hitting the ground, they would really be like a group of statues riding on horses.

Every one of them is so perfect, even to the point of rigid perfection. Everything about them is like a robot with a fixed program.

Almost half an hour later, Lingshou City, which looked like a monster lying here, appeared in Shi Wansui's eyes.

Lingshou is located at the strategic point of Hexi. From here you can directly attack Xiaoguan to the north, and to the south is the Hexi Plain.

Controlling this place is equivalent to controlling half of Hexi, so the defense here is also very tight.

With the powerful vision of a spiritual expert, Shi Wansui could clearly see the ferocious giant crossbow shining with cold light on the wall of Lingshou City.

With the Western Chu sergeants looking wary, Lingshou City at this time has completely turned into a military fortress.

Most of the residents in the city fled north, or fell under the horses of the Western Chu people.

The battles between each tribe of the Western Chu people were extremely cruel, so when they faced the common people of the Qin Dynasty, they were even more unscrupulous.

They even took pleasure in massacring the civilians of Great Qin. Their military discipline was extremely low, but strangely, their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.

"The defenses are tight, but it's a pity that they met me, Shi Long live!"

Shi Wansui sneered and then ordered in a deep voice.

"Eagle Cavalry, flatten Lingshou City for me!"

"Remember, we have never been in the habit of keeping prisoners!"

His voice was cold, and his cold face was full of cruelty.

His personal force may not be as strong as Hua Xiong's, but in terms of murderousness, he is the most cruel among Qin Yu's generals.

"promise!"
