Chapter 1335

Because of the birth of horseshoes and double-sided stirrups, the Da Qian cavalry had achieved a qualitative leap.

The gap in riding skills between the two sides was visibly narrowing.

And with the Polu bow, the range of both sides had also changed.

A Xiongnu soldier grinned hideously, looking back with disdain, wanting to mock the Da Qian soldiers pursuing from behind.

But the next second, he saw the Da Qian soldier draw his bow and aim at him.

"At a distance of one hundred and thirty paces, if you can kill me, I'll just die for you to see!"

The next second.

Swish.

An arrow made a sound of piercing the air, coming straight toward the direction of this Xiongnu soldier.

Then,

just like piercing into a piece of tofu, it easily pierced through the soldier's chest.

"This, how is this possible?"

The Da Qian cavalry stepped forward, ruthlessly cut off his head, and returned satisfied.

And such a scene was happening everywhere.

Even Batuer, under the protection of a group of Xiongnu, was shot in the leg by an arrow and returned in a sorry state.

Golden sunlight dispersed the dark clouds in the sky, shrouding the entire Xuan Shui River bend.

The spring sunlight was warm.

Wang Xiao bathed in the sunlight, his body feeling a stinging pain, but he had a feeling of having lived through a lifetime.

He... had survived after all.

At this time.

Gao Yang came to his side, looking at Wang Xiao with a satisfied gaze.

"Captain Wang's ferocity is rarely matched in the world!"

"This official said my judgment was correct; in the entire army, apart from Captain Wang, no one could shoulder this heavy responsibility!"

"If it were this official, I fear I would have been cold long ago."

Wang Xiao nodded in complete agreement.

"Lord Gao is right; if it were anyone else in the army, I fear they would really be cold."

The experience just now was too terrifying and too dangerous.

These Xiongnu and Batuer were like madmen, all charging toward him.

If it weren't for his many years of martial arts, his sufficient ferocity, and this armor being strong enough to resist, he would have died long ago.

"Captain Wang, what did that Xiongnu Prince Batuer talk to you about?"

"Why did he attack in such a rage?"

Gao Yang suddenly asked.

Logically speaking, his plan was correct; as long as Batuer accepted the battle, this battle would surely be won, and further results would be achieved—first having their nest raided, then failing to win despite having three times the numbers.

If this spread, it would surely shake Da Qian's divine might!

As for Wang Xiao taking the blame, there were two situations.

First, Wang Xiao was heroic, captured Batuer alive, and crushed the Xiongnu; even if Wu Zhao knew, and the officials knew, and they rewarded Wang Xiao, externally, it would undoubtedly be his, Gao Yang's, prestige.

This is a win-win!

In this world where news spreads extremely fast, this point is extremely difficult to clarify.

Second, Wang Xiao was killed or captured alive; then he wouldn't lose either, as he was responsible for supporting from the rear, and the Xiongnu would just be happy for a moment. It would just mean the plan to make Wang Zhong step down, leave no chickens or dogs in the Wang family, and chop even ants in half would have to be accelerated.

After all, if Wang Xiao died, the grudge would be too great; if he didn't destroy the Wang family, he definitely wouldn't sleep peacefully.

The only thing Gao Yang hadn't calculated was that Batuer actually chatted with Wang Xiao alone and even ran out.

This was content outside the plan.

But he had a premonition: to make Batuer attack in such a rage, this kid Wang Xiao... was afraid he had said something?

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

He stared at the suspicious Gao Yang, thought of his own words, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

The next second.

He fell to the side and closed his eyes.

The guards beside him hurriedly went to support him, their expressions nervous.

"My Lord, Captain Wang has fainted."

"What should be done?"

The personal guard looked at Gao Yang and spoke.

Gao Yang stared at the fallen Wang Xiao, falling into deep thought.

It seems... this matter is not small! ===== CHAPTER 1337 =====
