Pei Tu Gou
Chapter 225 Dismounted, Unmatched in Ground Warfare; Mounted, Invincible in Cavalry Warfare!
轰!
轰!
Thunder rumbled across the thousand-mile plain, shattering the clouds in the sky.
Ten thousand horses galloped together, and the heavens and earth seemed to darken.
Endless waves of snow billowed and rolled across the plain, looking from afar like the ocean surging, wave upon wave, each higher than the last.
Even the grasslands dozens of miles away trembled incessantly.
Looking into the distance, banners fluttered, weapons gleamed like a forest, and an aura of iron and blood rose to the sky!
The scale of the momentum was unparalleled.
"Heavy armor, broadswords, Jiaolong horses! This is..."
"The Scarlet Jiaolong Army!"
"It's actually the Scarlet Jiaolong Army that's coming!"
The martial artists following behind An Qisheng were all in an uproar at the sight.
They never expected that this army would be the one to arrive.
Among the armies of the world, Da Feng was the best at naval warfare, Yan the strongest at land battles, and the Golden Wolf Kingdom led in cavalry.
However, there were always exceptions.
The Scarlet Jiaolong Army was the exception.
Legend had it that this Scarlet Jiaolong Army was established by Grand Tutor Ji Chonghua of Da Feng. It was composed of the most elite soldiers from among Da Feng's millions-strong army, totaling only 38,000 men, no more, no less.
For every person who joined, one had to leave.
This had been the case for thirty years.
It was a blatant meritocracy, with the strong rising and the weak falling!
On ships, they were the best at naval warfare; on foot, they were unparalleled in land battles; on horseback, they were invincible in cavalry warfare!
They were known as an army raised by a hundred million people, the world's acknowledged strongest troops!
Legend had it that these 38,000 men of the Scarlet Jiaolong Army were all selected from the best of the best, the strongest of the strong. Those selected had to be at least eight feet tall with a robust physique. They had to learn internal skills and practice external strength!
Each one was capable of taking on a hundred enemies!
Once on the battlefield, they donned full sets of cold iron armor, wielded Zhan Ma swords weighing 120 jin, and rode only the finest Jiaolong horses!
In addition, with the battle formations taught by Han Changong, the Qintianjian Master, once they charged, the 38,000 men were like one, their auras connected, making them invincible.
Once they charged, nothing could stand in their way!
Once, a Qi Meridian expert tried to take them head-on, only to be swept away by a hundred-man squad!
"The imperial court actually mobilized the Scarlet Jiaolong Army!"
Fan Zimin's scalp went numb.
With people, numbers mattered, let alone such well-trained elites, peerless iron cavalry?
Even from dozens of miles away, he could feel the magnificent military presence like a mountain, and couldn't help but feel his heart sway.
The other martial artists were even more horrified.
Even knowing that they were not the targets of the Scarlet Jiaolong Army, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Da Feng had a population of hundreds of millions, a vast territory, and abundant resources. How terrifying was an army that such a powerful force had nurtured with all its might?
What martial arts masters, what Qi Meridian experts, they were no match for such a peerless army!
After all, even Qi Meridian experts did not have truly endless Qi. Once faced with such a military force, when their Qi was exhausted, their death would be at hand!
As for Divine Meridian experts...
The name of the Divine Meridian expert who was once killed under the iron hooves of the army had already been forgotten.
"The Scarlet Jiaolong Army has ten thousand men as one force, their will united with the military might. How strong is the aura of a hundred battles? Even the Divine Intent of a Divine Meridian expert probably cannot affect such a terrifying army..."
Gazing at the peerless iron cavalry galloping from afar, an old man couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.
Even the strongest on the Weaponry List, how could they shake this army?
One had to know that the commander of this army was Grand Tutor Ji Chonghua of Da Feng, who had once led this army to kill a Divine Meridian expert!
There were even rumors that this Grand Tutor of Da Feng was already a Divine Meridian expert, but he had never entered the Weaponry List.
If such an existence led the army, who in the world could resist?
Not only the old man, Fan Zimin, but also many other martial arts masters, all stared intently, not wanting to blink their eyes.
For fear of missing this battle that would surely be famous throughout the world and remembered by future generations.
One person against an army!
Such battles were rare in the past, and would be even rarer in the future.
"Such an army, such momentum, such will..."
An Qisheng looked up, and a hint of amazement appeared in his eyes.
Cavalry had always been the kings of the battlefield.
What kind of terror would a group of armored warriors riding Jiaolong horses, all with internal skills and external strength, each one composed of fearless warriors like Zhang Fei and Lü Bu from his previous life?
Ten thousand men and ten thousand horses galloped forward, and with the fluttering iron-blooded scarlet dragon flag, rose the great momentum of a military soul that had fought a hundred battles and feared no death!
This was an army with a soul.
Hu!
In the wind and snow, An Qisheng slowly exhaled a breath.
At the same time, the scarlet-gold spear hanging behind him slowly rose, without a trace of trembling.
At the moment the spear rose, his eyes, spirit, and heart all fell on the unsharpened spearhead.
His expression was relaxed, as if he was not on a battlefield of ten thousand horses, but back in the yard where he used to practice the Doudaguan spear technique.
In his heart, there was only the spear, no outsiders, and no external appearances.
Rumble!
The uniform sound of horses' hooves came like thunder.
In an instant, they had galloped across dozens of miles, charging towards An Qisheng with endless domineering might!
There were no words, no noise, only bone-chilling killing intent.
It was as if a mountain was collapsing, crashing down!
And at this moment, in the wind and snow that was raging, An Qisheng, whose clothes were fluttering, slowly raised his eyebrows.
Dozens of miles away, a group of armored Scarlet Jiaolong Army soldiers stared indifferently and coldly at the man in front, and drew their bows together!
Ten thousand men and ten thousand bows, shooting towards the sky on horseback!
The bows were all nine-stone Jiaolong bows, and the arrows were Qi-piercing arrows made by the Heavenly Bow Institute, capable of shooting through true Qi protection, Qi Meridian bodies!
Beng beng beng beng~~~
Ten thousand arrows were fired at once!
In an instant, the sky turned dark!
The martial artists looked up and saw thousands of arrows whistling and tearing through the air, pulling out streams of sonic booms, with the mournful sound of ghosts crying and gods wailing.
They covered the sky and enveloped An Qisheng!
While galloping on horseback, ten thousand men hung their bows and raised their swords, the uniform sound of swords resonating and shattering the clouds.
While the arrows whistled away, they had already lifted up a forest of sword light.
With a speed like chasing the wind and catching the moon, they horizontally pushed the forest of sword light, rumbling and crushing forward.
Hu!
Ten thousand arrows fired, ten thousand horses trampled, sword light like a forest, killing intent rolled like a tide.
A huge inhaling sound, like a true dragon swallowing the heavens and earth, a Kun Peng devouring the four seas, suddenly sounded!
An Qisheng's breath, really like the Kun Peng in myths swallowing the North Sea.
In an instant, a strong wind blew, and the air currents surged!
Within dozens of feet, the air currents crisscrossed and surged, and the thick snow was lifted up like a curtain!
This breath was so terrifying.
The many martial artists following behind An Qisheng clearly heard the huge inhaling sound like a tornado.
Fan Zimin watched carefully.
When the white-robed Taoist inhaled, the air currents poured down, and the speed was so fast that there were traces of tearing on the ground, like swords and soldiers.
And with this breath swallowed, An Qisheng's already tall body seemed to be even taller.
His body was glowing!
Under the pressure of the rain of ten thousand arrows, his body burst out with substantial light. At this moment, some people could see the dense network of Qi Meridians in his body!
The Qi Meridians were almost breaking out of his body.
After inhaling, he exhaled like thunder!
Rumble!
A substantial stream of air spewed out from An Qisheng's mouth and nose along with a huge sonic boom. In an instant, it was as if a big explosion had occurred in the heavens and earth!
The mass of air, compressed into something like an air cannon, exploded in an instant.
It was as if a substantial mushroom cloud had risen in mid-air!
The violent air currents whistled and surged like countless swords and soldiers, colliding violently with the endless rain of arrows that covered the sky!
This sudden burst of sonic boom air currents was too terrifying.
The countless arrows that could pierce through city walls were scattered in the turbulence, and most of their strength disappeared.
While the air currents and ten thousand arrows were colliding in an earth-shattering manner, the sonic boom was like countless thunderbolts.
It exploded in the Scarlet Jiaolong Army that had already roared in!
Xi lülü~~~
This sound was like thunder, and even the elite warhorses of the Scarlet Jiaolong Army that had undergone hundreds of battles were startled at this moment.
But at this time, the strong qualities of the Scarlet Jiaolong Army were revealed.
In this roar like a cluster of thunder, even with countless warhorses rearing up, not a single elite knight in armor was shaken off his horse!
Instead, they forcibly suppressed the warhorses with extremely strong postures, and launched another charge, and even the speed did not decrease much!
And at this time, An Qisheng finally made a move after inhaling and exhaling.
Rumble!
He saw that his eyes brightened, and at the same time, he stomped down!
With just one step, the earth and plains, under the crisscrossing snow, air currents, sonic booms, and arrows, cracked.
Substantial ripples spread out in front of him like a fan. Wherever they passed, the earth was like water, the strength was like a tide, and the soil and dust raised were like the most fierce hidden weapons.
They attacked the galloping Scarlet Jiaolong Army in a overwhelming manner!
At the same time, as the air currents exploded and shattered, An Qisheng's figure had completely disappeared into the flying snow!
He carried endless air currents and pulled out a long wind dragon.
With unparalleled domineering posture, he thrust out his spear!
Buzz buzz buzz~~~
At the moment of shaking his arm and spear, the sound of the spear was like the sound of the great bell weighing ten million pounds in the Huangjue Temple being struck again.
The first row of cavalry to bear the brunt, slashing down with the most violent posture, froze, and was completely shaken to death by the sound of the spear!
The next moment,
In the forest of sword light, a cluster of spear shadows suddenly appeared, like fireworks exploding, like a peacock spreading its tail!
Overwhelmingly, it smashed into the Scarlet Jiaolong Army, which was like overturning mountains and seas!
Xi lülü~
Countless Jiaolong horses neighed, and amidst countless collisions of metal, broken limbs and blood were scattered in the sky.
Finally, the silent, iron-like Scarlet Jiaolong knights let out the first scream.
Then, the screams rose one after another,
Suddenly overwhelming the thunderous sound of horses' hooves!
