Chapter 386: The fog has cleared [Thanks! Thanks again! Owed 3000 words version]

The sound of the enemy spraying blood rang in his ears,

Xu Zaijing looked at the enemy on the right front who was about to cross,

Who was holding a golden melon hammer and was fiercely swinging it with all his might toward the little Li horse's head,

Relying on the long spear in his hand being long enough, Xu Zaijing swung an upward sweep,

And then an arm holding a golden melon hammer flew into the air.

The upward-sweeping long spear smashed downward again,

An enemy on the right who was leaning sideways on the horse's back and holding an iron mace to smash at the little Li horse's leg was directly smashed off the horse by Xu Zaijing.

The long spear was raised again by Xu Zaijing,

The rear end of the spear handle was held by Xu Zaijing's left hand,

Ding!

The long knife of the enemy on the left, which was slashed at Xu Zaijing's waist and ribs with the speed of the horse, was blocked by the refined steel spear handle,

Before the enemy on the left could react, the long spear in Xu Zaijing's hand was swung and smashed over, and the solid iron hoop under the sharp spear blade hit the enemy's head squarely.

The helmet on the head of the enemy who was waving the long knife sank in.

The long spear that was retracted from the left rear followed with a horizontal sweep, and the helmet on the head of another enemy who crossed by was also beaten out of shape.

The resistance of the enemy with the deformed helmet caused the long spear in Xu Zaijing's hand to be held horizontally in front of him.

Xu Zaijing looked at the enemy rushing over from the right, and could only hold the spear handle and stab it toward the right with force.

The refined steel spear butt at the bottom of the spear handle smashed heavily into the chest of the enemy on the right, and the thick chest armor of the smashed enemy directly sank in.

It was just when Xu Zaijing smashed the enemy on the right away,

Another knight on the right abandoned his weapon and stood on the horse's back, and before he crossed with Xu Zaijing, this knight used force with both legs and flew toward Xu Zaijing.

Then

Was slapped down from mid-air by Xu Zaijing with the long spear like a fly.

It's not to say, these cavalrymen are fierce!

When Xu Zaijing slapped the enemy on the right to the ground, an enemy on the left also flew over as if cooperating.

At this time, Xu Zaijing was just at the end of his movements, and no matter what, he couldn't use the long spear!

Through the gap between the enemy's helmet and neck guard, Xu Zaijing had already seen the murderous look in the enemy's eyes!

Only to see Xu Zaijing release his left hand holding the spear handle,

The liberated left hand swung upward, and the metal arm guard and shield slammed into the arms of the enemy who flew over.

It hit the enemy so hard that he turned in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

The enemy on the ground wanted to use his arms to support his body, but felt severe pain in both arms, and before he could react, the thick, horseshoe-shod horse hoof of the knight behind him stepped heavily on his head.

When the enemy was stepped on by his own people,

Xu Zaijing's right hand had already leveled the long spear again,

With the speed bonus of both mounts and Xu Zaijing's strength, another knight was impaled on the spear blade by Xu Zaijing,

Afterward, Xu Zaijing flicked and smashed him into the last knight.

It sounds long,

The time it took for things to happen was only within four or five breaths of the enemy and us crossing.

Plus the third arrow Xu Zaijing shot at the front with the greatest force, piercing two people at the beginning.

Just a few breaths of face-to-face time,

Xu Zaijing killed fifteen enemies.

If you count the two enemies who were carried away after being pierced through the back by Xu Zaijing's sharp arrows, that would be seventeen.

Qingyun, who was following Xu Zaijing just now, put all his energy into protecting Xu Zaijing's back, holding a shield to help Xu Zaijing block several sneak-attack arrows.

When crossing, he also took advantage of the situation to smash two enemies with his shield,

There were two more marks on Qingyun's armor, and Qingyun's mount was also lifting its front hooves uncomfortably, obviously injured.

He Guan, who was the first to strike,

Had already cleaned up the three enemies on the left when Xu Zaijing fired his third arrow.

When Xu Zaijing rushed into the enemy group,

He Guan rode in a large circle and shot seven feathered arrows in a round of mounted archery.

The power naturally couldn't compare with Xu Zaijing's sharp arrows that carried enemies away,

But each of his arrows also pierced through the armor, killing one enemy with one arrow.

The full-strength unit of fifty elite knights who were high-spirited just now,

At this time, when they slowed down and turned their horses around, they looked roughly, and less than half of the living people were left.

When the enemy slowed down and turned around,

Xu Zaijing had already lifted the long spear in his hand vertically, and then stabbed it down with force.

Pfft!

The spear butt at the end of the spear shaft was inserted into the soil.

The long spear naturally stood beside Xu Zaijing.

Afterward,

Xu Zaijing pulled out the strong bow in front of the saddle again and nocked an arrow.

The cavalry turning around became Xu Zaijing's living target.

In the short time of turning around, Xu Zaijing shot five sharp arrows.

The last one accidentally hit the cavalry leader's mount, and the finger-thick feathered arrow was deeply inserted into the horse's eye, and this pain made the horse stand up.

Then the horse and the cavalry leader fell heavily to the ground together, and the heavy horse body pressed the cavalry leader under it.

After falling to the ground, the cavalry leader endured the severe pain in his lower limbs and used all his strength, but couldn't push the horse body away.

The cavalry leader gasped for breath,

Looking at the fog slowly flowing above his head,

Feeling the vibration of the horse hooves trampling on the ground beneath him,

Listening to the shouts of killing and wailing full of fear not far away,

He suddenly remembered the Zhaojue family descendant who was terrified and lost his composure after hearing the identity of the assassination target before setting off.

"Go kill him???!!! That's no different from courting death! I won't go! I won't go!"

"You want to use military orders to kill me? Then kill me here! That way I can still be buried in the ancestral grave! Hahaha!"

The cavalry leader listened to the shouts of killing around him getting fewer and fewer,

The shouts of painful wailing, begging for mercy, and surrender getting louder and louder,

Recalling the disdain and contempt he had for the Zhaojue family descendant in his heart at the time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although there is no possibility,

But, if he could live and go back today,

If someone arranged the mission of assassinating this son of the Marquis of Yongyi for him later,

He might not even be as good as that Zhaojue family descendant, because he wouldn't dare to face the death penalty for disobeying military orders, and he wouldn't say he wouldn't go, he would only escape halfway or surrender!

Thinking of these,

He found that the fog in the sky was slowly dissipating.

At this moment,

A riderless warhorse walked past him,

The reins happened to fall into his hands,

Afterward, this cavalry leader grabbed the reins and used the strength of this warhorse to pull himself out from under the horse corpse!

When he wanted to get on the horse to escape, he found that he could no longer feel his legs.

Thinking that pretending to be dead might lead to being buried alive, this cavalry leader could only open his eyes wide, waiting for someone to see him.

Finally,

Seven of this cavalry unit survived.

One was this cavalry leader;

One was the one whose helmet was smashed out of shape, the heavy blow that deformed the helmet made him faint, and after waking up, the deformed helmet couldn't be taken off, and he couldn't see the road, so he could only surrender;

The other five were those who knelt and begged for mercy and surrendered because they were scared.

When Qingyun, who was on horseback,

Was directing the last five to arrange the corpses in a neat row,

The sun had already driven away most of the fog.

Blood flowed all over the official road,

Still wearing the appearance of Great Zhou cavalry,

This scene scared the messenger cavalry and postmen passing by here quite a bit.

Fortunately, many postmen in the Yulin Stronghold post station recognized Xu Zaijing's mount, so no misunderstanding was caused.

When Xu Zaijing asked the messenger cavalry and postmen to find someone to clean up this place, another cavalry unit holding flags on the official road in the distance ran toward this place.

Qingyun hurriedly rode his horse to Xu Zaijing's side, who was organizing feathered arrows,

"Young Master, another one came!"

Xu Zaijing drew his bow and aimed, then put the bow and arrow away, saying: "Looks like an acquaintance."
