"Brothers, kill them!"
Gongsun Zan's forces advanced with unstoppable momentum, wiping out the enemy's cannon fodder and heading straight for Tuoba Yu.
The defining characteristic of light cavalry is speed; they move quickly and kill even faster!
To kill as quickly as possible, they were equipped with curved swords, which were shorter than ordinary swords. However, every inch counts, and the secret lay in the speed at which they could sheathe the sword.
It may be short, but when combined with its terrifying mobility, it becomes a master at cutting through anything.
His deputy, Yan Gang, worked in perfect harmony with him, and the two of them routed the enemy, who scattered and fled in all directions.
However, this did not affect the White Horse Volunteers's attack in the slightest. More than 10,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry followed closely behind them, killing those who escaped. It was a one-step operation.
The army advanced steadily, heading directly towards Tuoba Yu and his men.
The barbarian soldiers who witnessed this scene turned deathly pale. This was fucking too strong! Who said this was just a tribal native? Don't those people have any conscience?
"Damn it, just who is this White Horse Volunteers? How can they have such terrifying fighting power?"
Tuoba Yu watched as Gongsun Zan frantically slaughtered those in the back row, and his face turned extremely grim; his heart was bleeding.
These people could have been used to attack Youning Commandery, but now they've died here in vain. It's all Lin Yi's fault. If it weren't for him, I'd be having breakfast in Youning Commandery right now.
"General, don't be impulsive. These men were left behind to cover our retreat. Let's retreat first and avenge our brothers later!" Xiao Shan stopped him. Going back now was not a wise move. We should leave as many as we could.
Anyway, those left behind were all prisoners, so it wouldn't matter if they died. But if they lost another Martial Divine Minor Titled King, that would be a huge loss.
Grass!
Tuoba Yu threw down his weapon, turned and left, leaving them to cover his retreat!
"Ah!"
Seeing Tuoba Yu and his group run away, the people behind them started cursing loudly, "Damn it, they took us with them too!"
"You son of a bitch, Tuoba Yu! You led us away and now you're making us cover your retreat! You'll die a horrible death!"
"Don't kill me, I'm one of our own!"
"We are from Ningchuan Commandery, please don't kill me, we are good people!"
"We won't kill our own people, Your Highness, please spare my life!"
They were filled with regret. They should have stayed put, even if it meant death. They had been prepared to grit their teeth and follow Tuoba Yu to make their fortune, but now they had become cannon fodder. This was just too much.
Gongsun Zan glanced at them and sneered, "So you call yourselves 'one of us'? Don't think I didn't see it. You shot arrows at me just now. What kind of 'one of us' are you!"
What kind of nonsense is this about "our own people"? Since they've already defected, not one of them is innocent.
A mere lackey!
"Kill all who have weapons!"
After giving the order, Gongsun Zan looked intently in Tuoba Yu's direction, his eyes filled with excitement. So this is the Martial Divine Minor Titled King, right? We're going to have to see for ourselves.
"Haha, it's too late to run now. Since we're here, we have to leave something behind!"
" White Horse Volunteers, follow me and charge into battle!"
Gongsun Zan roared and charged straight at Tuoba Yu.
kill!
Yan Gang glanced at his old boss, but still followed him. This guy was being mischievous again.
"Court death!"
Sensing the overwhelming killing intent behind him, Tuoba Yu turned around and his face immediately turned ugly. These guys weren't satisfied yet, and they were coming after him instead.
Tuoba Yu's face was extremely ugly. This Great Han on the white horse was so arrogant. Did he really think that he, the general, got his position by flattering others?
"Haha, Martial Divine Minor Titled King, don't be angry. Gongsun Zan sends his greetings on behalf of the Crown Prince!"
Gongsun Zan greeted the enraged Tuoba Yu with a smile, but his hands moved without slowing down, frantically slaughtering the ordinary soldiers around him!
" Gongsun Zan!"
Seeing Gongsun Zan kill someone right in front of him, Tuoba Yu's face immediately turned ugly. He was really treating him like he didn't exist.
Those who covered the rear were killed, and that's bad enough!
Now they're actually killing his own veterans? This is intolerable. These troops are his foundation. If he loses too many, he'll be left with nothing, which is definitely not what he wants to see.
If you reach that point, even if you get the title of "Little King," you'll probably be weak for several years and basically be ruined.
"Haha, General Tuoba, why are you looking at me like that? Do you have a problem with me?"
"Good!"
A murderous glint flashed in Tuoba Yu's eyes as he headed straight for Gongsun Zan.
With a flick of his wrist, his spear shot out like a venomous snake, aiming straight for Gongsun Zan's chest. It was this guy who had been chasing him the whole time; otherwise, none of this would have happened.
In the last few exchanges, we've lost at least 20,000 men, many of whom were our own.
Moreover, since the Evil Bodhisattva died tragically because of him, and now dares to provoke him again, then let him die completely!
" Gongsun Zan, die!"
Haha, you think I'm afraid of you!
Gongsun Zan laughed heartily and went straight to greet him.
As the former overlord of Liaodong, who suppressed the northern barbarians for many years, he was not just a figurehead. In front of him, Tuoba Yu was nothing more than a child.
kill!
The two fought back and forth, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner, making the situation tense.
"General, I'm here to help you!"
Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, Xiao Shan rushed over to help. If they didn't leave soon, they'd be stuck there.
The two of them worked together to repel Gongsun Zan, and just as Yan Gang was about to help, they turned and ran. It was far too dangerous here; the enemy's main force was approaching, and if they didn't leave now, they really wouldn't be able to escape.
"Brother Tuoba, how have you been? Why are you so distant after just a few days? You even run away when you see me!"
Upon hearing this sound, there was a brief pause on the battlefield, and even Gongsun Zan stopped fighting.
Tuoba Yu's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but look up at what was behind Gongsun Zan, his pupils immediately shrinking.
Lin Yi!
The master of Xiliang has actually come in person.
He was surrounded by a dense array of shield-bearers, so tight that not even a mosquito could get through. It's no surprise he's still so afraid of death.
He couldn't help but sneer, "Your Highness is joking. You've brought so many people to chase me; if I don't run, won't I be doomed to a death without a burial place!"
If you don't run, you'd be a fool.
"Haha, Brother Tuoba is truly a remarkable person."
Lin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking at Tuoba Yu's sneer, and said in a low voice, "To be honest, the Emperor has now appointed me as the Governor of Xiliang, and Ningchuan Commandery is also my territory. Brother Tuoba took my things and ran away, of course I have to chase after him."
