Chapter 1265
"Is this strength not a bit too overwhelming?"
"Finally had the chance to see His Highness in action; it's truly formidable!"
"Why do I feel like this horse-chopping saber was tailor-made for His Highness?"
"Nonsense, this horse-chopping saber and the three-piece cavalry set were invented by His Highness in the first place, alright?"
"Truly, he can settle the world with a pen and secure the universe on horseback!"
"To have the fortune of following such a Highness, it is truly a blessing of three lifetimes!"
"Speak less, both of you. Even if His Highness is very powerful, we must still protect him well."
Although the guards were talking, their hands never stopped moving.
Raising their blades and swinging them, they repeated the same motions over and over.
They had practiced these movements countless times; this was the simplest and most effective killing technique.
The guards followed by His Highness's side, hacking and slashing at the surrounding Xiongnu soldiers.
Ying Ying Zi Ye fought through the blood, supporting wherever there was a need.
But the battlefield was simply too vast.
The Xiongnu army and the Qin Ruishi were already locked in a chaotic melee.
The front line stretched for dozens of miles.
The situation in every sector was unimaginably brutal.
Those volleys of arrows just now had dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu cavalry.
They had lost at least one-third of their cavalry.
The Xiongnu cavalry's advantage in charging had also vanished completely.
However, under the impact of the Qin cavalry, the Xiongnu suffered devastating losses.
Now, the Xiongnu were no longer as numerous as the Qin Ruishi.
The weapons they carried were not as refined as those of the Qin Ruishi either.
Whether in numbers or weaponry, they were far inferior to Great Qin.
With one side waning and the other waxing, the annihilation of the Xiongnu was only a matter of time.
It was only their fault for lacking long-range attack methods.
Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would hold the advantage in this battle.
Ying Ying Zi Ye charged and fought with all his might, disregarding everything else.
Even he could not find where General Meng Tian and the others were for the moment.
But he knew that General Meng Tian also had many people around him protecting his safety.
After all, if the commander-in-chief of the army were to meet with an accident, it would affect the morale of the entire force.
At this moment, Ying Ying Zi Ye could not spare any attention for General Meng Tian, and he led his guards to unleash a slaughter upon the Xiongnu.
Meanwhile, General Meng Tian's command chariot had come to a halt.
He had just led a round of cavalry charges.
Now, he had stopped at the edge of the zone.
He was the commander-in-chief directing the entire battlefield.
Charging and killing enemies was not his primary task.
Strategizing and planning was what he needed to do.
Whether to charge or not depended on the situation.
General Meng Tian was issuing a series of commands from the chariot.
The current situation was favorable to Great Qin.
Because of the volley of arrow attacks, the Xiongnu cavalry had lost their ability to charge.
Once cavalry could not charge, they lost their intended purpose.
Conversely, the Qin soldiers had begun their charge, dealing a devastating blow to the Xiongnu army.
"Pay attention to His Highness's movements; make sure not to lose track of him."
"Report His Highness's whereabouts to this general at any time."
Even as busy as he was, General Meng Tian dared not forget the existence of His Highness.
Although he had sent men to protect His Highness, he still could not be completely at ease.
After all, this battlefield was too large; once surrounded by the enemy, it would be dangerous.
Although he had to command the army and could not spare himself to protect His Highness,
knowing His Highness's movements would at least allow him to be somewhat at ease.
In case something happened to His Highness, he could send men to support him at any time.
"General, please rest assured."
"His Highness's movements have always been under our control."
"As soon as His Highness is in danger, we can support him immediately."
A general replied in a loud voice.
General Meng Tian stood on the chariot.
Standing high, he could see far.
He had even made use of the telescope.
Only in this way could he effectively oversee the entire field.
Understanding the battlefield allowed him to better issue commands across the entire front.
With the help of the telescope, General Meng Tian's efficiency was greatly improved.
Before, when there was no telescope, he could not see the distant parts of the battlefield.
Every time, he had to rely on messengers to report the situation.
Consequently, this delayed military opportunities and caused them to miss the best timing.
With the telescope, the situation was different.
General Meng Tian could quickly detect any slight movement on the battlefield and adjust his tactics.
Commanding the million-strong Qin army of tigers and wolves, General Meng Tian adjusted tactics rapidly, as if moving his own arm.
General Meng Tian also specifically observed the new recruits in battle.
Although there was some unfamiliarity, every new recruit was very brave.
There was no cowardice; every new recruit hacked at the Xiongnu as if they did not fear death.
Even if one fell, a second person would immediately step up to fill the gap.
The Xiongnu army was being beaten back step by step.
"General, this battle is fought with such satisfaction!"
"It is truly exhilarating and deeply gratifying!"
"This telescope is truly too useful."
"We don't have to wait for messengers to return to report the situation; we already know the status of the battle here."
"With the telescope, we have saved quite a bit of time."
"The defeat of the Xiongnu is only a matter of time!"
The several deputy generals beside General Meng Tian looked at the telescope with excitement.
They wished they could stand on the command chariot themselves to observe.
General Meng Tian also caressed the telescope in his hand with great affection.
This thing called a telescope was too practical.
At this moment, there was more than just General Meng Tian on the chariot.
There were two other people, both observing the battlefield.
The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant; one moment of inattention could lead to missing a golden opportunity.
"General, a group of people is charging towards us."
A general put down the telescope and reported to General Meng Tian.
"Do they want to decapitate our command?"
"Send a unit of cavalry to intercept!"
"They need to have the ability if they want to get close to us." ===== CHAPTER 1267 =====
