Chapter 134 The Cavalry Regiment Arrives in Time
The little girl screamed in fear and tried desperately to hide in her mother's arms.
The woman protected the child tightly, as if she were protecting a chick that was about to be snatched away.
Cheetah's fists were clenched tightly, his nails dug deep into the flesh, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
He felt a surge of blood in his heart and almost couldn't control himself and rushed out.
But he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Rushing out now would just mean death.
He must first find other companions and make a careful plan.
Only in this way can we effectively fight against Liu An's army and truly save these innocent people.
He silently memorized the place, turned around and disappeared into the maze of alleys.
This is just the beginning. The capital city is destined to experience a bloody storm.
"I heard that Liu An, in order to win over the people, issued a general amnesty and reduced taxes."
An old man with a hunched back walked by tremblingly and spoke in a low voice.
His clothes were ragged and patched, and his cloudy eyes were filled with deep worry.
Cheetah sneered and stuffed the towel back into his arms.
"What a show! Reducing taxes? Isn't it just to consolidate their rule?"
“I don’t know how many fools he has fooled.”
He touched the dagger hidden at his waist, and the cold touch made him feel a little more at ease.
He took out a small piece of paper from his sleeve and carefully wrote down the information he had gathered on it with charcoal:
The atrocities committed by Liu An's army in the city, the panic of the people, the reaction of the officials... his handwriting was sloppy.
But the force is so strong that it can be seen through the paper, and every word seems to be soaked in blood and tears.
After writing, he rolled up the note and stuffed it into the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg.
He gently stroked the pigeon's soft feathers and murmured to himself:
"Go and bring the news to Lord Lu."
After saying that, he released the carrier pigeon.
A gray figure cut through the thick fog in the dim morning light.
It flew towards Shannan Prefecture and disappeared into the vast sky.
……
At the same time, a desperate battle was taking place in the dense forest of Wufengling, fifty miles west of Shannan Prefecture.
Li Mu was covered in blood, and the blade of the long sword in his hand was bent.
He led the remnants of the Yulin Army, which consisted of less than 5,000 people.
He fought to the death to protect Chen Qingwan and her personal maid Qiao'er.
All around, the pursuers sent by Liu An surrounded them like hungry wolves.
"Protect His Majesty! Kill!"
Li Mu roared and swung the sword in his hand like the wind, bringing up a rain of blood.
The soldiers of the Yulin Army were all ready to die.
He used his flesh and blood to build an iron line of defense for Chen Qingwan and Qiao'er.
He was wearing tattered armor and his face was covered in blood, like a god of death walking out of hell.
"Your Majesty, we...we can't escape..."
Qiao'er hugged Chen Qingwan tightly and said in a trembling voice.
Chen Qingwan's face was pale, but her eyes were firm, without a trace of fear.
"I am the emperor of Datong. Even if I die, I must die with dignity!"
He patted Qiao'er's hand again and comforted her:
"Don't worry, General Li will definitely keep us safe."
Although she said this, she had no idea in her heart.
The current situation is clearly a dead end.
Every soldier of the Yulin Army is a hero who can fight ten enemies at the same time.
But faced with enemies that were several times larger than themselves, they gradually felt powerless.
Blood stained their armor and the ground beneath their feet.
But it cannot dye their determination to defend their country.
"what!"
A Yulin soldier was pierced through the chest by a spear.
He let out a scream and fell in a pool of blood.
"You bastard! Prepare to die!"
Li Mu roared angrily and swung his sword to kill two enemy soldiers.
But he was also hit on the left arm by an enemy general's knife, and blood gushed out instantly.
"General Lee!"
Several Yulin soldiers exclaimed and rushed forward to protect Li Mu.
"I'm fine, keep killing!"
Li Mu gritted his teeth, held the sword with his right hand, and continued to fight with the enemy soldiers.
However, he didn't expect to be attacked from behind by another enemy soldier and slashed on the back.
He staggered and nearly fell.
Blood stained his battle robe red, and the severe pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"General Lee!"
Several Yulin soldiers wanted to rush over to rescue, but were entangled by more enemies.
An enemy general walked towards Li Mu with a grim smile, holding high the big knife in his hand.
"Die, old man!"
The enemy general's sword was wrapped in a strong wind and was about to chop off Li Mu's head.
Li Mu closed his eyes in despair.
However, the expected severe pain did not come, but the sound of rapid horse hooves rang in my ears.
From far away, it sounded like rumbling thunder or a mountain torrent.
The black cavalry poured into the battlefield like a tide, instantly dispersing the enemy soldiers surrounding Li Mu.
The enemy's formation was like the surface of the water being hit by a huge rock, causing violent ripples.
The leader was Zhang Xun, who was wielding his spear with great vigor.
As if entering an empty space, they defeated the enemy soldiers around Li Mu in an instant.
"Damn it, anyone who dares to touch me is tired of living!"
Zhang Xun's roar echoed on the battlefield, carrying a strong sense of banditry.
Zhang Xun took the lead, the spear in his hand was like a poisonous dragon emerging from a cave, going straight for the enemy general's throat.
The enemy general was horrified and hastily raised his sword to block.
There was a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, the enemy general's sword was knocked away, and blood was dripping from his knuckles.
Before he could react, Zhang Xun's spear had arrived, and the tip of the spear pierced his chest like lightning.
The enemy general screamed and fell to the ground.
The black-armored cavalry, like a black whirlwind, charged into the enemy camp with overwhelming force!
The originally dense enemy troops were instantly scattered and thrown to the ground!
Wherever the cavalry passed, the enemies fell down like wheat, dead all at once!
The screams, the neighing of horses, the clashing of weapons, all mixed together in a cacophony, it was simply a sonata of death!
Zhang Xun danced the spear in his hand like a silver dragon, slashing wildly in the enemy camp!
One shot will kill several people!
The cavalrymen behind him were also very powerful.
The sword in his hand is like the scythe of the god of death, harvesting heads crazily!
The enemy's tight formation was completely shattered by this black whirlwind.
Like a flood that broke through a dam, it was running everywhere!
Fear spread like a plague, and everyone was terrified.
He threw away his armor and ran for his life crying for his parents, but he still couldn't escape the clutches of death!
The black-armored cavalry rampaged across the battlefield like meat grinders.
Reel the enemy in and kill them all!
Zhang Xun rode his horse to Li Mu's side, dismounted, and supported the staggering Li Mu.
"General Li, how are you?"
Zhang Xun's voice was a little hoarse due to the fighting, but it couldn't hide the concern in it.
Li Mu coughed up a mouthful of blood foam, his face pale as paper, but he said with all his might:
"Thank you, General Zhang... ahem... I'm fine..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Quick, take General Li and retreat first!"
Zhang Xun handed Li Mu over to the soldiers behind him without saying anything.
