Empire

After leaving the camp with 4,000 soldiers, Chen Ziang marched northwards and arrived at the border of Qingyang Prefecture in the evening. As they travelled north, the villages and towns along the way were deserted. The people in the area had already fled due to the war.

"Let's camp in the village ahead tonight."

Chen Ziang rode on his dark warhorse, looking at the village ahead, and gave the order.

""Yes!"

General Lin Yu received the order loudly, waved his hand, and led a team of scouts to the village ahead.

Soon, the scouts rode back, with several wild dogs shot on their horses.

""General, there is not a single ghost, but we did shoot and kill a few beasts, which will be a treat for the brothers tonight."

The thousand-man general Lin Yu ran to Chen Ziang and pointed at the wild dogs they shot and said,

"You probably forgot what we saw on the way here, right?" Deputy Battalion General Zhang Bao interrupted with a smile.

Thinking of a group of wild dogs biting the bodies that fell on the roadside in the wild, Lin Yu suddenly felt sick.

"Hold��—"

After hearing this, Lin Yu immediately ordered the wild dogs they shot to be thrown away one after another, and they could not avoid it. Chen Ziang and his men stopped to camp in Wuming Village. The four thousand soldiers were exhausted after a long march.

The village was surrounded by large tracts of barren fields, and the distant mountains and nearby forests were shrouded in twilight, looking lifeless.

"Zhang Bao!"

"The end is here!"

"The guard post was placed five miles away"

"promise!"

"Lin Yu, take your men to the north to investigate the situation and bring back a live person."

""Yes!"

The Qinghe Army in the Qingyang Prefecture area had been defeated by the Dynasty Light Cavalry. They were unfamiliar with this area, so Chen Ziang had to be careful.

Because no one knew if they would suddenly run into the Dynasty Light Cavalry. The other side was cavalry, and most of them were infantry. Once an encounter occurred, they would only be slaughtered.

The thousand-man general Lin Yu did not bother to rest. After simply eating some dry food, he personally led a hundred cavalrymen to ride north.

Chen Ziang and his 9th Battalion had only two hundred cavalrymen in total, which were given to them by Liu Yidao of the Ranger Battalion to thank Chen Ziang.

Although Chen Ziang had asked for a thousand horses from Marshal Zhang Dayuan, , but most people can't ride a horse, let alone fight on horseback.

Lin Yu, a general of a thousand men, is now in charge of their pitifully small cavalry unit.

Although they only have two hundred real cavalrymen now, Lin Yu has trained them one by one like wild beasts.

Chen Ziang promised Lin Yu that in the near future, they will have a large cavalry unit, and these two hundred people must be trained as cavalry officers.

Thinking of being able to command thousands of cavalrymen in the future, Lin Yu, a general of a thousand men, was very excited. He also secretly vowed to perform well and not let Chen Ziang down.

""General Qian, where are those bastards of the Dynasty Army now?"

Lin Yu and his men headed north to investigate the enemy, but they didn't see a single person after walking more than 20 miles, which made the cavalry look around with impatience.

The sky had completely darkened, and Lin Yu and his men's vision was greatly limited, which seriously affected their actions.

""Everyone, be alert and keep your eyes open. This is no joke. Who knows when you might run into those bastards?"

This was the first time that Lin Yu led his troops to independently carry out the task of scouting the enemy. The further north they went, the more dangerous it was. He had to order the cavalry to be alert and ready to fight at any time.

"Let's look further north and try to catch someone alive."

The surrounding wilderness was pitch black, as if it was hiding a cold and ferocious beast. Lin Yu dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind and drove his horse north.

Their team of cavalry moved slowly along the road at night. The several villages they passed along the way were empty and eerily silent.

In the second half of the night, Lin Yu had to order the cavalry to enter a deserted village for a short rest.

Because they were now in the territory of Qingyang Prefecture and might encounter a large group of Dynasty cavalry at any time, Lin Yu also set up guard posts outside the village.

"Sir, Sir, something is happening!"

When the sky was just getting light, the thousand-man general Lin Yu, who had just taken a nap wrapped in his battle robe, was pushed awake.

Lin Yu opened his eyes and saw the soldier who woke him up, and he sat up with a start.

""What's going on?" Lin Yu asked.

The cavalryman replied:"We found a group of Dynasty cavalrymen, more than 30 people, by the river ahead."

"Let's go and have a look!"

Lin Yu didn't expect that they had walked for most of the night without seeing the shadow of the Dynasty Light Cavalry, and now they actually bumped into the door.

Soon, Lin Yu led a hundred Qinghe Army Light Cavalry to appear on the gentle slope not far from the river. From a distance, he could see the Dynasty Light Cavalry washing by the river.

"There are bandits, there are bandits!"

As soon as Lin Yu and his men appeared on the gentle slope, a cavalryman of the Dynasty Army who was on guard not far from the gentle slope shouted at the top of his voice.

"call out!"

"Ah!"

The dynasty cavalryman shouted loudly and ran straight to the river, but a wolf-tooth arrow pierced his body with a sound of breaking through the air. He staggered and fell off his horse.

"Kill!"

Lin Yu, the general of a thousand men, looked coldly at the dynasty cavalrymen who were running towards his warhorse in a panic by the river, and drew out his sharp sword and raised it high.

One hundred Qinghe cavalrymen burst out with a loud shout, and a cold blade light was erected, and they rushed towards these dynasty cavalrymen.

Several dynasty cavalrymen who climbed onto the horse's back first rushed up, trying to intercept Lin Yu and his companions to buy time for their companions. The warhorse neighed, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides were at a distance where they could see each other's faces clearly.

Lin Yu's cold eyes were full of bloodthirsty murderous intent. Facing the dynasty cavalry rushing towards him, his body was tightly attached to the horse's back, and the sword in his hand slashed out with the breath of death, with a faint sound of wind and thunder.

The dynasty cavalryman's mighty knife brushed past Lin Yu's head, and the next moment Lin Yu had used the strong force of the warhorse to The great impact force cut the body of the Dynasty cavalryman into two pieces, and blood rained across.

Before Lin Yu could check his results, another Dynasty cavalryman with a ferocious face had already rushed to Lin Yu on horseback, and the sharp lance with a cold glow went straight to Lin Yu's chest.

Lin Yu had to raise the bloody sword in his hand to block. In the sound of metal clashing through gold and cracking stone, the two sides passed each other. Lin Yu's tiger's mouth was numbed by a huge force, and he almost threw the sword in his hand.

The Dynasty cavalryman missed the attack, and before he had time to retract the lance and adjust his posture, a Qinghe Army cavalryman had already rushed to him. The bright knife flashed, and his huge head was thrown high.

In the brief intertwined fight between the two sides, several Dynasty Army cavalrymen who rushed to intercept were chopped off their horses in the blink of an eye, and turned into mutilated corpses scattered in the morning light.
