Chapter 465

~5 min read 867 words

But now, seeing the Prince's performance.

It seems their combat style is not suited for the Prince at all.

Don't you see how the surrounding Xiongnu cavalry are all afraid of the Prince?

The soldiers all around are still locked in fierce combat.

Yet here, their space has been deliberately cleared out.

Not a single Xiongnu cavalryman is striking toward this spot.

This eerie scene leaves Han Xin and his companion speechless.

At this moment.

General Meng Tian finally catches up.

"Your Highness, please slow down!"

"If anything happens to you, this general will have no way to answer to His Majesty!"

General Meng Tian arrives close by and immediately starts pouring out his grievances.

Han Xin and his companion look at General Meng Tian with strange expressions.

They do not point anything out.

"What could possibly happen to me?"

"Am I not perfectly fine?"

"Even if something were to happen to me, you would not need to bear the responsibility."

"I will leave a letter for Father Emperor to explain everything clearly."

Ying Ying Zi Ye is dismissive and does not take it to heart.

That thousand-strong cavalry unit also charges up at this time.

They surround Ying Ying Zi Ye for protection.

From this point on, there is not a single Xiongnu cavalryman left in the vicinity.

They have all been isolated on the outside by the thousand archers.

This leaves Ying Ying Zi Ye quite speechless.

With so many people here, how is he supposed to fight that man with the twin hammers?

Before Ying Ying Zi Ye can even speak.

General Meng Tian speaks up.

Because he discovers that Han Xin and Wang Li are also here.

And they are looking at him with an incredibly strange gaze.

"What is with that look from you two brats?"

"Why are you looking at this general like that?"

General Meng Tian is puzzled and even looks down at himself.

He finds nothing wrong.

"That..."

"Grand General, you should observe the surroundings first."

Han Xin swallows hard and speaks with difficulty.

The surroundings?

Seeing that the thousand archers have protected the Prince.

General Meng Tian finally has time to observe.

Just a moment ago, he was burning with anxiety and had no time to observe anything.

Now, hearing Han Xin's words, he turns his head and looks all around.

At first, he feels nothing out of the ordinary.

On the ground, there are only corpses upon corpses.

Mostly Xiongnu cavalry, with very few Qin cavalry.

But soon, he notices something different.

Because the majority of the Xiongnu cavalry corpses are dismembered.

Cut in two by a single blade!

Either decapitated or severed at the waist.

General Meng Tian gasps.

Who is so brutal?

Do they not use any effort?

Severing at the waist, as long as the blade is sharp, is not difficult to achieve.

But doing it repeatedly makes a person tired.

It is simply a waste of energy.

This is a battlefield!

It is not a private duel; it is not enough to kill just one person.

Instead, after killing one, another appears.

On the battlefield, one only needs to kill or maim, causing the opponent to lose the ability to act, and that is winning.

Most importantly, one needs to conserve stamina!

Otherwise, if you sever at the waist with every strike, once your strength is exhausted, the next one to be killed will be yourself.

Using all your strength in every strike is a very low-level mistake on the battlefield.

Only by conserving stamina is it the superior strategy.

These basic operations are taught by specialists in the military camp.

Therefore, General Meng Tian's first reaction is.

These Xiongnu were not killed by Qin cavalry.

There are twenty or thirty Xiongnu corpses lying around that were severed or decapitated.

The wounds were all caused by a single strike.

This proves it was the work of the same person.

It is evident that the blade is incredibly sharp.

And the person wielding this blade also possesses immense strength.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to sever or decapitate with every single strike.

The more General Meng Tian looks, the more shocked he becomes.

Gradually, a flash of insight strikes General Meng Tian's mind.

The one who could have the strength to do this is none other than...

His gaze shifts to Ying Ying Zi Ye's hand.

There are still traces of blood lingering on the blade of that ancient black gold blade.

"Your... Your Highness, this..."

"Did you kill all these Xiongnu cavalry?"

General Meng Tian can hardly believe his eyes.

Is this the person he vowed to protect?

Is this the person he feared would meet with misfortune, fearing punishment from His Majesty, Qin Shi Huang?

Is this not too fierce?

He should have thought of it sooner.

It was just that this scene on the field shocked him.

Causing his mind to briefly malfunction.

This also led to his delayed realization.

Knowing the truth, General Meng Tian is speechless for a long time.

"We can talk about this when there is time."

"I am going ahead!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye originally wanted to say a few more words. ===== CHAPTER 467 =====
