Chapter 832 Li Cunxiao Returns to His Old Trade
"Yang Yin, I know you're in a hurry, but the Changlin Imperial Guard is a unified whole. Infantry, cavalry, archers, and other types of soldiers each have their own duties, and none of them can be missing."
Yun Xinrou took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
"No! I've thought of a way. We can mobilize the cavalry from the Changlin Imperial Guard and allocate some warhorses to the Fengming Archery Battalion."
"I can go ahead with Lord Si, leading a group of archers from the Phoenix Cry Archery Battalion and cavalry from the Changlin Imperial Guard, to support Qianyuan City, taking advantage of our speed."
"You, along with the remaining Phoenix Cry Shooting Battalion and the infantry of the Changlin Imperial Guard, should hurry up and catch up as soon as possible."
Yang Yin's anxious expression remained unchanged. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he quickly spoke.
After a moment's thought, Yun Xinrou saw Yang Yin's impatient expression and figured that even if she tried to stop him, he would just take the Changlin Imperial Guards' cavalry and leave first. She could only nod helplessly.
Moreover, she felt that this was the best solution at present. Although doing so would disperse the strength of the Changlin Imperial Guards, it was the only option in this critical moment.
"Okay! We'll do it your way!"
"I will immediately mobilize cavalry and warhorses. You will lead a portion of the Phoenix Cry Archery Battalion and the Changlin Imperial Guards' cavalry ahead. Be extremely cautious and do not underestimate the enemy!"
After a moment's thought, Yun Xinrou spoke decisively.
Upon hearing this, Yang Yin smiled slightly.
He knew that although Yun Xinrou seemed gentle, she was actually meticulous and decisive.
With her in charge at the rear, he could go to support Qianyuan City with complete peace of mind.
After making the decision, the two did not hesitate and acted quickly.
Yang Yin then turned his horse around and looked at the mountain-like, steady figure behind him—the Great Qian Royal War God, Shura Siyan, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Si Yan was not only the most skilled fighter on their trip, but his status as a member of the imperial family of the Great Qian Dynasty also made him particularly special.
At this critical juncture, Si Yan's opinions and strength are of paramount importance.
"Lord Siyan, look at the situation. Qianyuan City is on the verge of collapse. We cannot afford to delay any longer."
"This humble general intends to lead a portion of cavalry and archers from the Phoenix Cry Archery Battalion ahead to support General Nangong. What do you think?"
Yang Yin's voice pierced through the noise and reached Si Yan's ears.
Upon hearing this, Si Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of approval flashing in them. He naturally understood Yang Yin's personality; he was impetuous yet decisive, a formidable fighter on the battlefield, and very much to his liking.
At this moment, he shouldered the safety of Qianyuan City, a sense of responsibility that made Si Yan nod inwardly.
"Yang Yin, I am aware of your determination. This trip is indeed urgent."
"I will go ahead with you, but you will personally command the cavalry of the Changlin Imperial Guard."
Si Yan twisted his neck slightly, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yang Yin's face immediately lit up with joy. With Si Yan present, the chances of victory on this trip undoubtedly increased.
Yang Yin then quickly mobilized the cavalry from the Changlin Imperial Guard and allocated some warhorses to the Fengming Archery Camp.
Yun Xinrou specially selected some of the most skilled archers from the Phoenix Cry Archery Camp and had them ride their warhorses together, preparing to go ahead first.
"Xinrou, you and the main force catch up quickly!"
"I will definitely defend Qianyuan City and wait for your arrival!"
Before leaving, Yang Yin said to Yun Xinrou.
Before Yun Xinrou could answer, Yang Yin turned his horse around and gave an order. The cavalry of the Changlin Imperial Guard surged out like a tide, and the archers of the Fengming Archery Camp quickly formed ranks, mounted their warhorses, and followed closely behind.
In an instant, the sound of hooves thundered and dust flew as two elite troops, like two bolts of lightning, cleaved through the land of Qianzhou and sped toward Qianyuan City.
Yang Yin took the lead, the Soul-Destroying Blood Spear in his hand gleaming with a bloodthirsty light in the sunlight.
Meanwhile, not far ahead of the advance team led by Yang Yin and Si Yan, on a necessary road leading to Qian Yuan City.
Li Cunxiao, along with his deputy general Xiong Kuohai and his three thousand Flying Tiger Cavalry, were quietly waiting.
It was a wide valley with rolling hills and lush forests on both sides, and a winding path in the middle, which was the only way to Qianyuan City.
The valley was unusually quiet at this moment, with only the occasional birdsong and the faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, telling of the approaching storm.
His deputy, Xiong Kuohai, stood tall and imposing, holding a bronze staff, his eyes gleaming with intense fighting spirit.
Behind him, the three thousand Flying Tiger Cavalry, a force meticulously trained by Li Cunxiao and now in its early stages of development, stood quietly on both sides. The occasional snorts of the horses seemed particularly loud in the silent forest.
As a peerless commander with unparalleled strategic planning abilities, Meng Zhang would naturally be wary of reinforcements from the Great Qian Dynasty behind Qian Yuan City.
To conquer the heart of the Great Qian Dynasty—Qiandu—it is necessary to first clear out its southern gateway, Qianyuan City.
However, Meng Zhang led the main force of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers from Luzhou and went straight for Qianyuan City, a tough nut to crack.
They might also have considered using the fortified city of Qianyuan as bait to lure out the last remaining troops of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Simply put, the plan is to use Qianyuan City as the center, and then... besiege the city and attack reinforcements!
Li Cunxiao, the newcomer who came to the door, was like a tiger descending the mountain on the battlefield, a war god of extreme qi who hated the heavens and the earth. Naturally, he became the best candidate in Meng Zhang's eyes to carry out this plan.
With Li Cunxiao's unparalleled martial prowess, coupled with his three thousand rigorously trained and well-equipped Flying Tiger Cavalry, he was undoubtedly a formidable enemy that no reinforcements could afford to ignore.
Meng Zhang believed that Li Cunxiao's sudden attack would catch the Daqian Dynasty's reinforcements off guard, and might even annihilate them in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Li Cunxiao, clad in a flying tiger armor, wielding the Yuwang Spear in his right hand and the Biyan Claw in his left, stood in a clearing in the forest, his gaze piercing through the dense woods as he looked at the winding road that stretched into the distance.
"General, look over there, dust is flying everywhere, it seems a large army is on its way."
Xiong Kuohai pointed into the distance and said in a low voice, which, though deep, could not hide his excitement and anticipation.
For this burly man, whose physique was as imposing as a mountain, fighting was the source of his joy in life. Every swing of his heavy bronze cudgel brought him unprecedented satisfaction.
Li Cunxiao nodded slightly, his gaze sharpening. They had already learned from the intelligence of the Luo Wang that reinforcements from the Daqian Dynasty were on their way, and their mission was to ambush, intercept, and annihilate these reinforcements.
However, Li Cunxiao was not really concerned about simply intercepting the reinforcements. What he was really concerned about was that, according to the intelligence provided by the Luo Wang organization, the reinforcements sent by Da Qian this time included the famous general of Da Qian, Shura Siyan, who was renowned throughout the Tianwu Continent and had a great reputation in the entire Da Qian Dynasty!
