Empire

The cold wind was howling. In the fields north of Wuming Village, four thousand Qinghe Army soldiers, armed to the teeth, formed a steel formation with their backs against the village.

Chen Ziang, wearing black armor, rode his horse to the front of the formation, and his sharp eyes swept across the dark and resolute faces.

Every soldier who was swept by Chen Ziang's eyes tried to straighten his chest to prove his bravery.

Most of these four thousand soldiers were recruited from the refugees who had lost their land. Chen Ziang gave them a way to live, and they were willing to die for Chen Ziang.

"Brothers, there are two thousand Dynasty Army bastards coming towards us, are you afraid?!"

Chen Ziang looked at the group of soldiers he personally led, suddenly raised his voice, and asked loudly

""Don't be afraid!"

These refugees were originally simple farmers, but the powerful officials of the dynasty seized their land, making them wandering and suffering.

Now when they heard that the cavalry of the dynasty army was coming, they were not afraid at all, but instead they were filled with anger for revenge.

"You are worthy of being my soldier, you are not afraid!"

Hearing the earth-shaking shout, Chen Ziang nodded with satisfaction.

"So tell me, what should we do?"

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

Four thousand soldiers raised their swords high and roared in unison, like a group of howling beasts, their eyes full of burning fighting spirit.

"Okay, then let's kill them all!"

""After this battle, we will have three days off with free food and wine!" Chen Ziang said loudly.

Hearing this, the soldiers who were full of fighting spirit were like chicken blood, and they shouted excitedly.

Chen Ziang usually gave them devilish training, which was simply worse than death.

Now Chen Ziang was going to give them three days off and free food and wine, so they were naturally very excited.

Seeing that Chen Ziang dispelled the fear in just a few words and raised the morale of the soldiers, the deputy battalion general Zhang Bao, Li Lang and others were all sighing that they were not as good as him.

"Report——"

Just as Chen Ziang finished mobilizing his soldiers before the battle, a shrill voice sounded from a distance, and a cavalryman galloped over from a distance.

"Xilulu——"

The scout reined in his horse in front of Chen Ziang. The horse neighed and raised its front hooves high, causing a cloud of dust to rise.

""Sir, two thousand Dynasty cavalry are coming." The scout panted.

Chen Ziang looked towards the north, and a black line appeared on the horizon. The black line was rapidly getting thicker and finally formed a black cloud.

Chen Ziang took a deep breath and raised his right hand high. Li Lang and others quickly ordered to fight.

The iron hooves of two thousand Dynasty cavalry rumbled, the earth was shaking violently, and a black flag swept forward in the smoke and dust.

Although there were only two thousand light cavalry, their momentum was like thousands of troops, with the power to destroy everything.

Although the Black Cavalry was an elite force in the Dynasty army, it also had the problem of corruption of eating empty salaries.

Therefore, the strength of each battalion of the Black Cavalry was more or less insufficient. Although this Black Cavalry was called a battalion, it actually had only about four thousand people.

This time, the battalion general only brought out two thousand light cavalry, and the other two thousand did not follow.

""Stop!"

The Black Cavalry was a well-trained elite force. The battalion commander saw Chen Ziang and others lined up in the distance. His pupils shrank slightly and he raised his right hand high.

He did not expect that Chen Ziang and others would not escape, but line up here to fight, which surprised him.

After receiving the order to stop, the two thousand Black Cavalry soldiers who were galloping on their horses quickly reined in their fast-running war horses.

From the rapid advance to the stop, the two thousand Black Cavalry light cavalry did not collide or cause chaos, showing their superb horse control skills and good discipline. Just now, there was a rumbling sound of iron hooves, and as the two thousand Black Cavalry light cavalry stopped, the world suddenly became quiet.

The two thousand Black Cavalry light cavalry stopped silently about two miles away from Chen Ziang and his men, like a heavy mountain, pressing Chen Ziang and his men to the ground and making them breathless.

The battalion commander of the Black Cavalry looked around and saw that Chen Ziang and his men were actually lined up with their backs against the village. A sneer flashed across his face. Did he think it was safe?

"Scouts, check the surroundings quickly!"

The commander of the Black Cavalry was no fool. Seeing Chen Ziang and his men so confident, he was worried about an ambush, so he ordered the scouts to check the surroundings.

More than a dozen scouts spread out, galloping towards the surroundings, and soon disappeared from sight.

The two thousand Black Cavalry light cavalry were exhausted after galloping all the way, and they took this opportunity to take a breath and accumulate strength for the next fight.

"Why don't they attack?"

Seeing that the light cavalry of the Black Cavalry had stopped not far away, the Qinghe Army soldiers who were standing in formation were getting impatient.

"Hold the line for me!"

Seeing that the enemy was hesitant to attack, Chen Ziang gave an order to the deputy battalion commander Li Lang and others, then rushed out with his horse whipped.

Seeing Chen Ziang, who exuded a fierce aura, rushing over alone, the battalion commander of the Black Cavalry Army was also stern, and his pupils shrank slightly, because he felt the dangerous aura of a beast from Chen Ziang.

The rest of the Black Cavalry Army's light cavalry had serious expressions, and each of them was as if they were facing a great enemy. Their war horses were also digging in the soil, looking restless.

Chen Ziang reined in his war horse outside the range of an arrow, and his sharp eyes swept across the dark mass of Black Cavalry Army's light cavalry, and suddenly raised the sharp sword in his hand high

"Who dares to fight me?!"

Chen Ziang's voice was like a rumbling thunder, so arrogant.

Seeing Chen Ziang riding forward alone to provoke, the commander of the Black Cavalry Army was so angry that his face turned blue. He really didn't take them seriously.

Now it has long passed the era of fighting to decide the outcome. Seeing Chen Ziang rashly coming forward to provoke, the commander of the Black Cavalry Army was stunned and angry at the same time.

""Sir, I am willing to kill him!"

A young deputy battalion commander stepped out of the crowd, clasped his fists and loudly asked the battalion commander to fight. He was angered by Chen Ziang.

The Black Cavalry was the elite force of the Far East Dynasty, stationed in the capital province all year round to protect the capital.

Although the soldiers were all elite, most of the officers were the children of the rich and powerful. The deputy battalion commander who asked for the battle was also a descendant of meritorious service, skilled in archery and horse riding, and did not bring shame to the family.

"Are all of you Black Cavalry a bunch of cowards? Look at how cowardly you are. If you don't want to fight, you might as well go home and hug your children!"

Chen Ziang saw that no one in the Black Cavalry was willing to fight, so he ridiculed them unscrupulously.

"Coward!"

""Coward!"

As soon as Chen Ziang finished speaking, Li Lang, the deputy battalion commander who was holding the line in the back, raised his arms and shouted.

The four thousand soldiers shouted in unison, making a sound like a tsunami, and their morale was immediately boosted. The light cavalry of the Black Cavalry were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.

"This is too much!"

The commander of the Black Cavalry clenched his fist and allowed the deputy commander to go into battle.

The deputy commander rushed out of the army with a black lance in his hand and went to meet Chen Ziang.

"Come and tell me your name! I, Wushan, will not kill nameless people!"

The deputy battalion commander of the Black Cavalry rushed to Chen Ziang, stared at him coldly, and shouted loudly:

"If you want to fight, just fight. Why are you making such a fuss like a woman?

Chen Ziang kicked the horse's belly with both legs, raised his sharp sword, and rushed forward.

"You are courting death!"

The deputy battalion commander of the Black Cavalry was also so angry that he cried out in anger. He immediately rode forward and vowed to kill Chen Ziang.
