Atop the gate tower, Xie Li and the strategist beside him watched in dazzled amazement!
When they had first seen this cavalry unit take such a dangerous risk, neither had thought highly of them. Who could have expected such an enormous surprise?
This cavalry unit of over a hundred men was, astonishingly, entirely made up of cultivators. Especially that young man at the front—his strength was undoubtedly the greatest. Whenever he swung his long spear, no one within thirty feet survived. It could be said that the cavalry unit's charge had cut through the enemy like a hot knife through butter largely because of the leading young man's decisive role.
"What a fierce general!" The strategist's eyes shone as he suddenly cupped his fists. "My lord, such a fierce general cannot be allowed to perish. If we can win over this cavalry unit, our chances against the Black Scarf Army will surely rise by twenty percent."
Xie Li nodded at that. "Indeed!" Even if the strategist had not mentioned it, the sight of such a cavalry unit had stirred Xie Li's desire to recruit talent.
The strategist said, "From what I can see, they seem to intend to bore straight through the Black Scarf Army's formation, and they are headed directly for the city gate. My lord, we must provide them with support!"
Xie Li immediately understood what he meant. With a wave of his hand, a messenger stepped forward. "My lord!"
"Order the gate guards to open the city gate at the right moment and receive the cavalry unit below!"
"Yes!"
Opening the gates at such a time carried great risk, but if they could bring this cavalry unit inside, some losses would be worth it.
Such a cavalry unit would absolutely play an enormous role in the war
