Chapter 33: Two Thousand Xuanjia Armor Armor Armor Armor Army Annihilates Ten Thousand Enemy Troops!

At this moment, Ba Yong realized that everyone had taken it for granted that cavalry could only assist the main infantry in coordination, yet they could actually use close-combat weapons!

At this moment, he finally felt how terrifying the power of cavalry wielding close-combat weapons could be!

The overwhelming momentum and force felt like a mountain smashing into his chest!

But Ba Yong, who could rise to Border Guard Grand General of the Yuguo Border Pass, was certainly no ordinary fighter.

In the nick of time.

Relying on instinct, he quickly rolled on the spot.

The blade's tip grazed his cheek, drawing a line of blood beads, but failed to sever his head!

Despite his bear-like stature and heavy iron armor, after two and a half rolls he stabilized his posture with remarkable agility.

After that sequence, even Xiao Qidi secretly admired how formidable he was!

Had it been anyone else, even Xuan Guo's finest elite troops, they could not have dodged in that situation.

Ba Yong licked the blood trickling to the corner of his mouth, his eyes blazing with a beast-like ferocity as he stared fixedly at Duan Wu, who was about to turn and charge again.

At that moment, instead of retreating, he lunged forward and grabbed at the warhorse's rear.

"Hah!"

He let out a low growl, his iron‑clamp‑like big hand seized the horse's leg and yanked hard!

The warhorse instantly lost its balance.

He then rolled with the momentum to dodge again.

Boom—

The warhorse crashed heavily to the ground, taking Duan Wu down with it!

"General Duan!" several officers exclaimed in shock.

"It's fine!" Duan Wu shouted back, enduring the pain as he scrambled away at top speed.

Bang!

Ba Yong brought down a punch!

Fortunately Duan Wu was also quick; he turned his head aside, and the punch cratered the ground beside his ear.

Had it landed on his face, his face would have been flattened.

Ba Yong drew the saber at his waist and backhanded it onto Duan Wu's forehead!

This iron saber, which he had meticulously forged, combined with his strength, could cleave bronze armor as easily as breathing.

Only his own iron armor could barely block it.

Yet this strike failed to crack the strange helmet Duan Wu wore on his head.

Instead, the shock numbed his tiger's mouth!

"What's going on?!"

Ba Yong was greatly startled and hastily retreated several steps.

He raised the saber to inspect it, and the blade was nicked badly.

His saber was ruined!

Duan Wu shook his head, quickly got up, felt his helmet, and exhaled a turbid breath with lingering fear.

His forehead was shaken a bit dizzy, but he was unharmed!

The armor helmet given by Jinli Fairy is unbelievable—it actually blocked Ba Yong's strike!

Emboldened, Duan Wu raised his long saber and slashed at Ba Yong.

Ba Yong had no time to think; he lifted his saber to block.

With a crisp crack—

the iron saber was cut in two!

Duan Wu's saber tip sliced a deep, bone‑visible wound across Ba Yong's face!

"Ah!" Ba Yong roared, punching Duan Wu in the chest and sending him flying backward two zhang!

That furious punch was enough to shatter an ordinary person's entire ribcage!

However, Duan Wu merely grunted, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, then rose to his feet.

"You..." Ba Yong was both angry and astonished.

He then realized that Duan Wu's armor and weapons were abnormally formidable.

He understood why Xiao Qidi dared to attack with just over two thousand men!

"All units, forward!" Ba Yong, without hesitation, retreated while issuing the order.

As his voice fell, his ten thousand soldiers surged forward.

Among them, five thousand elite troops wore the same fine wrought‑iron armor as he did and held wrought‑iron sabers.

Additionally, about four thousand ordinary infantrymen carried iron‑tipped spears.

Together they launched a siege against the Xuanjia Armor Armor Armor Armor Army.

"Kill." Xiao Qidi gave the order.

"Kill!" The officers raised their blades, gave the command, and led the charge.

Following Xiao Qidi's earlier training, the spear cavalry surged ahead first.

In a single clash, they burst a gap in the encirclement!

Dozens of Yuguo elite soldiers, before they could react, were pierced through by the spears and then flung away by the tremendous force!

Many infantrymen were also knocked down by the warhorses, their skulls crushed under hooves.

Afterward, the saber cavalry swept in from the flank of the spear troops to reap heads!

The sabers swung wide; each strike felled a head!

At the same time, the archery cavalry, holding composite bows, fired out one fine steel arrow after another; arrow rain fell, and the enemy's iron armor could not stop it at all—all were pierced and killed.

"Well done!" Ning Jinli, observing the situation via the drone, happily raised her fist.

Seeing the Xuanjia Armor Armor Armor Armor Army wearing the equipment she provided, using the weapons he gave, and unleashing the cavalry's true combat power, cutting down the enemy like melons and vegetables, she was overjoyed.

This was merely something she hastily bought together, considering the soldiers' tight schedule.

It can only be said to be the most basic equipment.

The bulletproof suit is not bad, but there are better options.

Not to mention the labor-protection clothing and shoes, which aren't even tactical gear, and those knives, spears, and bows and arrows—they're not professional-grade cold weapons.

These pieces of equipment still have great room for upgrade!

Inside the Xituan Guancheng Lou Damen, nearly ten thousand Yu Guo soldiers were being overwhelmed and beaten by over two thousand Xuanjia Armor Armor Armor Armor cavalry.

Not only were their equipment and weapons useless, but their original numerical advantage also vanished completely at this moment.

Xiao Qidi sat on his warhorse, silently watching his troops crush the enemy, his gaze growing ever deeper, unknown what he was thinking.

Buzz—

The drone from high altitude flew down and hovered beside his shoulder.

"Little brother, I told you the stirrups would be useful, right? Now they've been battle-tested!" Ning Jinli's voice suddenly came from the drone.

Xiao Qidi was startled and shuddered.

"Miss Ning?"

He turned his head in surprise, scrutinizing the drone, "Is it you speaking?"

The drone's camera moved up and down, "Yeah, I activated the drone's audio system; as long as I speak into the remote controller, the drone can transmit my voice."

"I'll fly off first, continuing to help you watch for any abnormalities."

As the words fell, the drone shot straight up into the sky—quick to come, quick to go.

The lopsided state of the battle surprised both sides.

The Xuanjia Armor Armor Armor Armor Army never expected to fight so well, and the Yu Guo soldiers never expected to have no power to fight back.

In the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, Ba Yong's force of nearly ten thousand lost about a third of its men.

Of the remaining two-thirds, more than half were seriously wounded.

Only over a thousand remained, fighting while retreating, and the more they fought, the more fearful and disheartened they became, with some even dropping their weapons and turning to flee.

Ba Yong was shocked to the extreme.

The long sword scar on his face twitched in a spasm, continually bleeding.

A Yu Guo soldier, in frantic flight, ran up to his side.

He came to his senses, his eyes flashing with ruthless ferocity; with one hand he seized the soldier's throat and tore it open, then flung the body aside.

That soldier clutched his bloody neck, painfully struggling and rolling for a while before expiring.

The remaining some of the fleeing troops, seeing this, turned pale with fright, trembling as they picked up their weapons and steeled themselves to continue fighting the Xuanjia Armor Armor Armor Armor cavalry.

To die at the hands of the Xuanjia Armor Armor Armor Armor Army is at least a quick kill, better than being killed by Ba Yong.

"It's not yet time to lose—no one dare think of deserting!"

Ba Yong let out a loud shout, glanced back at the corner with a look, then picked up two spears from the ground, mounted a tall horse, charged into the heart of the battle vortex, and rushed straight toward Xiao Qidi on the opposite side.

The corner position just moments before.

The Yu Guo military advisor, heart pounding, wiped cold sweat, "Good thing I persuaded the commander-in-chief to let me prepare in advance—hurry, go tell the hidden archers to attack!"

"Yes!" a soldier was about to relay the order.

"Wait," the advisor called out, "the armor of these Xuan Guo soldiers is exceptionally solid; our weapons can hardly pierce it, unless the archers can all hit their eyes—can you do that?"

The soldier was troubled, "Those with such archery skill—maybe a few could be found among ten thousand archers. Among the few hundred you arranged beforehand, I doubt anyone can manage it."

The advisor's eyes flashed with sinister cold light, "Then let them throw oil pots, coat the arrowheads with oil, ignite and shoot them down! Attack them with fire unbeknownst to gods or ghosts! They will surely burn all these Xuan Guo soldiers to death!"

"But we still have people fighting…… General Ba Yong is among them."

"General Ba Yong can protect himself! As for the rest, never mind—hurry up and go!"

"Yes!" a soldier was about to relay the order.
