Chapter 68 The Swordsman's First Signs of Skill
Batu refused to believe it and waved his hand, causing the shouter next to him to blow the bone whistle on his neck once again.
The piercing sound of the bone whistle rang out again!
Immediately, the 500 cavalrymen drew their bows and nocked arrows again. This time, they did not split into two groups, but instead fired in unison.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
After a volley of arrows, hundreds more arrows appeared on the ground, stuck in the ground crookedly.
Clearly, it was another futile effort. Batu's face darkened. This was the first time he had encountered such a tough Xia army that was as difficult to chew as a tortoise.
Since the arrow rain was ineffective, Batu made a decisive move and issued an order to change the strategy.
Send two teams to scout around the camp and assess the situation!
The cavalry behind them split into two and galloped around the camp, trying to find any loopholes in it.
Soon a group returned, and one of the leaders came to Batu.
"Lord Batu, a narrow passage has been discovered to the west!" A cavalryman approached Batu with a fawning expression, looking eager to claim credit.
Batu raised an eyebrow, squeezed his legs together, and spurred his horse westward.
"Let's follow and go take a look!"
Soon, they arrived at the western side of the camp. They saw the gap that the cavalryman had mentioned, which was exactly what Zhao Daxuan had specifically instructed them to leave.
The outermost edge of this gap is only wide enough for two riders to pass through, but it looks like a funnel.
The closer to the inner perimeter of the camp, the larger the gap became, and it led directly to Zhao Daxuan's team.
"You cunning Xia dog! Trying to lure the enemy in deep?" Batu sneered, seeing through Zhao Daxuan's scheme at a glance.
But he didn't care. He had an absolute numerical advantage, so what if it was a trap? He could lead his men to break through it directly.
"Temujin! Take your men and charge forward! Tear those Xia dogs to shreds!"
Batu waved his hand and let out a roar.
Temur was his most ruthless and bravest subordinate, and he believed that Temur could easily take down this small trap.
"Understood!" Temur replied, then revealed a sinister smile, and led his men like a sharp knife into the gap.
"west! Yu!"
As early as when Batu and others gathered in front of the gap on the west side, Zhao Daxuan had already ordered his soldiers to change formation.
After Temur led his hundred soldiers through the gap, he did not rush directly towards Zhao Daxuan and his group, but stopped after passing through the gap.
After all one hundred men under his command had passed through the gap, he led them in circles to accelerate before rushing towards Zhao Daxuan and the others again.
The Tartar cavalrymen let out beast-like howls, and their horses, propelled by the full force of their engines, reached their maximum speed.
Amidst the thunderous clatter of hooves, Temur stared intently at the formation ahead, a smirk playing on his lips. He was ready to revel in the carnage that would rip flesh from the impact.
Based on his past experience, he knew that the steel wall opposite would soon crumble and collapse under their attack.
The breathing of the people in front of Zhao Daxuan became rapid. As the cavalry approached, the air around them seemed to freeze.
Li Erlong stood at the very front of the column, this was his first time facing the Tartar cavalry head-on.
His palms began to sweat, but he still gripped the handle of the shield tightly and pushed forward with all his might. He could not retreat even a single step today!
Li Erlong glanced to the side and saw Zhao Fubao's youthful yet resolute face beside him, his eyes showing no sign of retreat.
Sensing Li Erlong's gaze, Zhao Fubao turned his head, grinned, and revealed a mouthful of big white teeth.
"Brother Li, are you scared?"
"What the hell am I afraid of! What do I have to be afraid of!"
Li Erlong stubbornly refused to show any weakness.
"That's good. Let's see who lasts the longest." Zhao Fubao's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Li Erlong curled his lip, "No, let's compare who kills more Tartars!"
Zhao Fubao's eyes lit up. "Great! Let's compete in this!"
Having said that, he turned his head again, lowered his head, and pressed the heavy shield firmly against his body.
It's getting closer, closer and closer!
A glint of excitement flashed in Temur's eyes as he led a hundred cavalrymen and rammed them into Zhao Daxuan's swordsman and shield-bearer formation.
The next moment, a dull thud suddenly rang out, like a giant hammer striking an iron mountain!
However, the imagined chaos and devastation did not occur.
The black steel shield wall simply tilted backward at the moment of impact, its surface tilting at a precise angle.
This redirected the thunderous impact of the Tatar cavalry's charge to the ground.
The soldier holding the shield let out a muffled groan, his shoulders pressed firmly against the shield, and his feet were already deeply embedded in the ground.
They actually managed to withstand the charge of the Tartar cavalry!
The first rank of warhorses failed to break through the swordsmen and shieldmen, and were blocked in front of their shields, but the cavalrymen on them had no time to react.
The immense inertia propelled the first rank of Tatar cavalry forward, tumbling them into the shield wall ahead.
But this is only the beginning.
As the Tatar cavalry crashed into the shield wall and rolled to the ground, countless heavy sabers suddenly emerged from the gaps between the shield walls, like venomous snakes reaching out.
The target was very clear: the horse's legs, belly, and the Tatar cavalrymen who had fallen off their horses and were struggling to get up!
"Pfft!"
The dull thud of the saber slicing into flesh and breaking bone rang out.
The dozen or so cavalrymen who landed in the first rank, including Temur, hadn't even reacted when they felt a sharp pain in their chests as a long saber easily sliced open their chests like cutting tofu.
Temur's eyes widened, his gaze revealing disbelief.
But then the sword in his chest twisted in the process.
Temur's vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
Batu's most valiant general is dead!
The first rank of cavalry was annihilated instantly, but the second rank of cavalry didn't even have time to stop. In just a breath, they crashed straight into the wall of death made of steel and flesh.
Fortunately, the charge slowed, and the cavalrymen were not thrown from their horses. But just as they were about to turn around, the sabers behind the shields reappeared.
The saber easily severed the leg bone of the horse in front, and just as the warhorse fell, the Tatar cavalryman on the horse braced himself and jumped to the ground.
But before they could even rejoice, their chests were pierced by the sabers that emerged again from behind the shields, and the second wave of cavalrymen was slaughtered.
The last cavalrymen stopped right in front of that wall of flesh and blood, their faces filled with horror as they looked at the scene before them.
"Go! Crush them!"
Zhao Daxuan's cold voice rang out.
"kill!!"
A hundred people roared in unison, their voices shaking the fields!
The black shield wall moved!
The shield-bearing soldiers stopped defending and instead turned their shields around, unleashing astonishing power as they charged forward fiercely, shields in hand.
The entire formation of swordsmen and shieldmen resembled a giant steel beast, roaring as it swept across the Tatar cavalry in front of it.
The last batch of Tatar cavalry had just turned around and hadn't even picked up speed when they were rammed head-on by the swordsmen and shieldmen surging up from behind, causing them to tumble to the ground, horse and rider alike.
