keep going!
After killing Lixiu, Huo Qubing did not linger and immediately led his troops forward.
This small victory isn't enough for him to stay.
Compared to these things, Huo Qubing looked forward to the moment when his horse would trample over the Tiele City. Only there was his true target, and only there could he truly instill fear in Frostwest.
He knew his mission was not to kill off some small fry, but to put enough pressure on them to cooperate with the main force to completely end Frostwest.
His gaze swept across the scene ahead, and there wasn't even a decent city wall. This made Huo Qubing's eyes flash with a smile; this was undoubtedly the best testing ground for him.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "I've fallen in love with this place! It's a cavalryman's paradise!"
What does it mean that the West did not have large city walls?
This means that the cavalry can advance unimpeded, and with their more than 200,000 troops, they can completely crush any enemy in their path.
Apart from a few key passes that could temporarily hinder them, they were almost powerless to fight back and would be engulfed by a sea of cavalry.
This is why he didn't choose to attack step by step, but instead went straight for the enemy's capital; that would be too much of a waste of time. Conquest is the only way to succeed.
To instill fear in them, one must bring them close to death, gradually plunging them into despair.
Only when faced with death do they know what true fear is and understand the preciousness of life.
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
"The wings of the nation, their sharpness like a torch!"
"Our goal is to kill every enemy in our path, until they disappear completely!"
Huo Qubing let out a loud shout and charged out first, the story of his life about to begin.
His words seemed to have an inflammatory quality, instantly driving the soldiers into a frenzy.
At this moment, the soldiers exuded a murderous aura. After being bathed in the enemy's blood, their killing intent surged even higher, and their eyes turned red.
"General, you are mighty!"
"Kill the enemy!"
They had only one thought in their minds: to kill the enemy, to annihilate all the enemies before them.
The Black Dragon Banner fluttered in the west wind!
With the aid of this war machine, the Feathered Forest Army ' combat power has become even more terrifying, arguably more than twice as ferocious as the original Feathered Forest Army.
With the addition of Huo Qubing, a commander of unparalleled talent, the combined strength was even more immeasurable.
Two hundred thousand cavalrymen galloped across the open fields, raising clouds of dust that seemed to reach the heavens without any attempt at concealment. Their momentum was so great that it shook the earth and changed the very color of the wind and clouds.
The Frostwest for dozens of miles around, heard the sound. Looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, they all Bai Qi. Even a fool would know that the enemy was coming.
"Oh my god! It really is the enemy attacking!"
"This is too fast! How did they get here so quickly? Where are the garrison troops of the Great Jade River?"
"Run! Who can stop them here?"
"Oh no, the enemy is here!"
Upon sensing the threat, the people of Frostwest were initially panicked, but quickly turned to despair, as the opponent's speed was simply too fast, arriving like lightning.
There were already few troops here, and Akeshang had already drawn some from them; how could they possibly hold out?
Ding ding ding!
In an instant, the arrows of the Feathered Forest Army pinned them down, unable to lift their heads. Before they could even recover after the rain of arrows stopped, the cavalry had already charged forward.
More than two thousand people were wiped out without even making a ripple.
"You bastard!"
The leading guard, Senli, was thrown to the ground. He got up and was about to unleash a torrent of curses when he saw an excessively young face looking at him. He swallowed back the insults he was about to utter.
The other person's death-looking gaze sent a shiver down his spine. He knew this person was definitely not a kind soul, and was the kind who would kill.
"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
Huo Qubing's deep voice rang in Senli's ears, followed by a sky full of killing intent rushing towards him, and all the pressure from the Feathered Forest Army was placed on him.
Grunt!
His Adam's apple bobbed, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back. He knew that if he gave a bad answer, he would surely die.
With a thud, he knelt on the ground, burying his head in Senli earth, and solemnly said, "Respected strongman, I want to live!"
National righteousness is nothing but an illusion in his eyes. If he wanted to die now, he would definitely die, and might even be torn to pieces.
A cold glint flashed in Huo Qubing's clear eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Then lead the way. Our destination Tiele City!"
Tiele City!
Senli's pupils contracted, and his head, already buried in the ground, sank even deeper. This guy was incredibly arrogant; he was practically going to storm the capital!
However, he was quite sensible and didn't say much, simply leading the way.
Huo Qubing did not commit much killing, nor did he plunder any property. He only took some supplies and then set off.
If he wasn't mistaken, Xue Rengui would probably be eager to make his move as well.
Although the Emperor had given him the opportunity to act expediently, Xue Rengui probably had the same opportunity as him, so he couldn't afford to be inferior to anyone else.
Hunting the Imperial City!
This was a tacit understanding between him and Xue Rengui!
As the hidden pawn of the Great Liang in the west, now is the time for the two of them to compete. Whoever can strike the enemy in one blow will surely become All Under Heaven.
I am Huo Qubing!
After he left, the common people of the Frostwest Empire were completely bewildered. What did this mean?
"What's going on? They didn't kill us, and they didn't even steal anything?"
"These must be our own people, otherwise how could they have only taken a little grain? They probably even managed to keep their wives."
"I also thought they were one of our own. I was quite startled just now. I was just scaring myself."
"You're fucking blind! They call themselves 'Great Han,' so they're obviously not one of us."
"What's it to me? If they don't kill me, they're one of us. They say the current emperor seized the throne by killing his father and rebelling. Maybe someone here is just unhappy about it and wants to rebel too."
"That makes sense. Our emperor isn't exactly honorable; he even killed his own father. How can we expect him to be good to us?"
"Do whatever you want. If you don't kill me, you're my friend. I still have a few fields to dig up today."
The common people exchanged glances. They had thought they were going to be robbed, but to their surprise, nothing happened. They were really lucky.
Forget it, I'd better go back to farming; I haven't finished the farm work yet.
Hearing their words, a middle-aged man in the crowd nodded to himself and sighed, "The heavens are dead, the yellow heavens shall rise. This man has harmed no commoners; perhaps the people of Frostwest have finally welcomed a wise ruler!"
Is Heaven dead?
Wise ruler?
Many ordinary people heard this and were struck by a thought: there's some truth to what they said.
They couldn't help but look at the speaker, immediately becoming curious. "Brother, what's the explanation for this...?"
