Chapter 1588: Keep Charging

Facing Xu Que's fierce charge, Ying Fangwu only sneered twice and retreated into the army formation.

"General Bai, I do not want to see this person alive after this battle."

Ying Fangwu's voice was cold and sharp, reaching Bai Qi's ears.

Bai Qi sighed, pulled the reins, and slowly came to the front of the army formation.

"Hear my order, light cavalry charge!"

With the order, tens of thousands of light cavalry wearing bright silver armor came out of the formation and stood in front of the army.

These cavalrymen each held a long bow, a three-foot long blade on their backs, and a white cloud pattern on their armor.

"That is the Flying Feather Cavalry that was famous throughout the world in the Yan Kingdom!" Hu Zhengtang gripped his sword hilt tightly. "I didn't expect the King of Qin to have restored this cavalry!"

The King of Qin swept across the six states and naturally took the powerful armies of various countries into his pocket.

This was exactly what Hu Zhengtang had been most worried about; he didn't expect it to really appear before his eyes.

Today's battle was not just Eastern Tang fighting the Qin Kingdom, but fighting against all the states!

"The Flying Feather Cavalry's speed is the fastest in the world, known as the number one fast cavalry in the Nine Provinces!"

"His Majesty's cavalry is fast, but no matter how fast, they can't be faster than the Flying Feather Cavalry!"

"The King of Qin is too terrifying; he can even rebuild the powerful armies of various countries!"

The soldiers discussed among themselves, their faces ugly, not optimistic about Xu Que, who was charging.

Despite this, Hu Zhengtang was not as worried as he had been yesterday.

After all, the Flying Feather Cavalry's speed was fast, but that was based on sacrificing lethality.

Usually, when the Flying Feather Cavalry goes to battle, they will perform a long-bow volley while galloping, and then charge into the enemy army at high speed, taking advantage of the enemy's lack of preparation to kill.

Simply put, I am faster than you, shoot you first, and then fight, making you unable to react at all.

Having witnessed Xu Que's riding skills yesterday, Hu Zhengtang was not worried that the Flying Feather Cavalry's volley would affect Xu Que's charge.

"What a pity, those three thousand troops will probably suffer heavy casualties..."

Even if a third-rank expert has superior martial arts, they are still flesh and blood. Saying they can resist arrows with their bodies is far from possible.

And because the Flying Feather Cavalry shoots arrows while galloping, the power of the arrows will increase dramatically, and the armor on the light cavalry won't be able to stop them.

The distance between the two cavalry units closed rapidly. The commander of the Flying Feather Cavalry galloping at the front shouted: "Rise!"

The Flying Feather cavalrymen behind him raised their long bows, bent their bows, and set their arrows, aiming directly at Xu Que's three thousand troops!

Just then, a sharp light erupted in Xu Que's eyes: "Brothers, switch to the Zha Tian Bang repeating crossbows I gave you. Let the other side see what real archery is!"

"Yes!"

The three thousand troops responded in unison, immediately pulling out a uniquely shaped weapon from behind them, leaning over their horses, and aiming at the Flying Feather Cavalry, who were also aiming.

Before leaving, Xu Que had specifically exchanged these Zhuge repeating crossbows from the system for this very moment.

In real history, the appearance of the Zhuge repeating crossbow undoubtedly changed the entire direction of cold-weapon warfare.

Whoever possesses the Zhuge repeating crossbow is equivalent to possessing a powerful killing weapon.

In this world, the military tactics of various countries were still in their most basic state. The Qin Kingdom swept across the six states entirely relying on strong soldiers, sturdy horses, and numerical superiority.

And the Zhuge repeating crossbow undoubtedly became the divine weapon here!

The crowd watching from afar was stunned.

This... what is this thing?

Why is the shape so unique? And it's called a Zhuge repeating crossbow?

But it looks completely different from a bow and arrow...

"Come, brothers, follow my movements, aim at the opponent, load! Ready... shoot!"

Xu Que stood up, revealed the Zhuge repeating crossbow in his hand, and gently pulled the trigger.

Whoosh!

The Zhuge repeating crossbow in Xu Que's hand instantly shot out a slender, sharp short arrow, its speed far exceeding that of an ordinary bow and arrow.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it hit one of the Flying Feather cavalrymen.

The bright silver armor on that cavalryman didn't provide any obstruction at all; it went straight through his chest, killing him instantly.

"Hiss!"

Hu Zhengtang and the others were stunned, gasping in unison, almost unable to believe their eyes.

This object was actually so powerful; it was just a light press, yet the arrow shot out far exceeded the speed of normal archery, and the power was also so astonishing.

Instant death!

How terrifying!

The charging Flying Feather Cavalry was also stunned, their speed subconsciously slowing down.

The commander of the Flying Feather Cavalry thought he had seen wrong and kept looking back at the fallen cavalryman.

What was that just now?

Such a small thing flew over and killed my subordinate directly?

Is this a ghost?!

"Was that a hidden weapon just now?"

"It should be. I heard the Eastern Tang monarch is a martial arts master."

"Damn it, so insidious, actually using hidden weapons!"

Because only Xu Que stood up just now, the Flying Feather Cavalry commander thought only Xu Que used the Zhuge repeating crossbow.

Although one soldier was lost, it wasn't unacceptable.

His face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "Brothers, don't panic. This kind of hidden weapon can only be used by those with deep internal energy. Even if the Eastern Tang monarch has such skill, he is only one person. We have tens of thousands of people here, so there's no need to fear him!"

"Yes!"

The remaining Flying Feather cavalrymen were invigorated and shouted loudly.

That's right, only that Eastern Tang monarch knows how to use this hidden weapon!

At most, he can kill a few people; there's nothing to fear!

Just then, Xu Que suddenly beckoned with one hand and laughed: "Brothers, follow my movements just now and show them!"

Immediately after, the three thousand troops stood up their upper bodies and revealed the Zhuge repeating crossbows in their hands.

"Hiss!"

The Flying Feather Cavalry commander gasped again.

Damn, why does everyone have one?

Didn't they say it was a hidden weapon? Could it be that all of them know how to use it?

Before the Flying Feather Cavalry commander could give the order, the three thousand troops had already pulled the triggers.

"Whoosh!"

Three thousand sharp short arrows shot out instantly, heading straight for the Flying Feather Cavalry.

In the blink of an eye, the Flying Feather Cavalry lost three thousand men!

Three thousand short arrows, without a single exception, all hit an enemy.

The Flying Feather Cavalry commander was almost dumbfounded. Only then did he remember that this cavalry unit was a team of three thousand third-rank experts.

But things had reached this point; he had no way back.

"Brothers, the opponent has fired a round of hidden weapons and needs time to reload. Follow me and keep charging!"

Before the words fell, he saw Xu Que suddenly smile and aim the Zhuge repeating crossbow at them again.

"Guess why I call this weapon a repeating crossbow?"

Repeating crossbow?

The Flying Feather Cavalry commander's expression froze, and his face changed drastically.

Damn! It wouldn't really be what I thought, would it!

The next second, another wave of three thousand short arrows broke through the air!
