Chapter 49: The Undeclared War

The iron hooves beat the ground rhythmically, and the vibration of the castle tower became stronger and stronger.

The long line of smoke and dust brought up by the cavalry obscured even the last rays of the setting sun, making the sky even more chaotic.

However, if there was a sound of cold electric brushes in the air, the eyes of all the Qin army sergeants on the city gate tower suddenly turned snow-white.

With a terrible cry like a wolf's howl, all the sergeants of this Wu Clan's cavalry army drew their blades hanging diagonally from the saddle in unison.

The cold light on these instantly unsheathed blades reflected the faces of all the soldiers on the castle tower.

In this suffocating atmosphere, countless sergeants couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Wu Qiwu, the supreme general of the city, at this time, they couldn't understand how until this time, no military orders had been issued.

Wu Qiwu didn't look at the cavalry at this time, but turned his head to look at the hillside.

He could vaguely see the young man standing quietly on the high rocks, and he couldn't help but feel respect in his heart, even if it was a big gamble, no matter what, the young man could still maintain such composure under the pressure of such an army, it was very accessible.

With only half a cup of tea to spare, some of the armoured in this cavalry could reach the gate tower.

It was also at this time that Wu Qiwu finally saw some changes in this cavalry army in the afterglow of his eyes, and he turned his head away, his eyes full of surprise.

The boy was right.

A strange sound of heavy breathing resounded from the city gate.

When the soldiers of the Qin army on the tower of the city gate could clearly see the faces of those Wu clan cavalry, the running posture of this cavalry army finally changed a little.

The dozens of horsemen, led by arrows, slightly deflected direction, facing the hillside where the Su Guards were located.

As if they were being tied up by an invisible rope, all the horses behind the dozens of horses deflected slightly, and their speed suddenly slowed down.

The speed was slow, but the sound of the hooves of all the horses seemed to grow heavier, and there was a cracking sound in the air at the same time.

The hearts of all the Qin army sergeants in the Gu Prison Pass contracted violently.

This is the "Storm Stone Horse"!

"Storm Stone Horse" is a proper noun in the Wu Clan's cavalry, referring to a group of four horses, the first two are light-weight kidnapping horses, the last two are heavier-bearing iron floating horses, the first two horses and the last two horses are connected to the leather tools with high toughness and elasticity, relying on the momentum of the first two horses, as if instantly winding some heavy ordnance, pull this particular leather tool to the limit, and then throw some heavy stones!

These heavy stones were originally weathered agate stones that were extremely hard in the wasteland, but after being simply roasted by the Wu people, they became extremely hard and easily broken, and the moment they landed, countless sharp stone flakes would be splattered.

The ordinary standard ordnance of the Qin army, except for a few ordnance that can only be used by non-cultivators who inculcate the true yuan, has a range of within three hundred steps, but the Wu cavalry relies on this unique ordnance and the power of horses, but it is able to throw a heavy stone of a certain weight above four hundred steps!

The "Storm Stone Horse" is a thing that can only be formed by the unity and coordination of equipment and horses, as well as horse riders, and only a few elite cavalry soldiers will use it in the Wu Clan.

If you are not careful, either the front horse will fall or the back horse will fall to the ground, and the cavalry will be in chaos and will be damaged.

However, now, just listening to this dense thunderous voice, all the Qin army sergeants in the Gu Prison Pass who knew the power of the Qin army knew that most of the Wu clan soldiers in this cavalry army could master the "Storm Stone Horse" proficiently!

Therefore, this cavalry army is one of the most elite cavalry troops in the Wu Clan Country!

......

This is not a duel sword competition in Changling City, but also a posture of raising a sword and inviting each other.

When the cavalry arrived, the battle began.

Ding quietly looked at this extremely powerful elite Wu clan cavalry army, he knew that the morale of the Su Guards had also fallen to the extreme, and he had even begun to feel fear and hopelessness.

However, at the moment when the countless leathers were stretched to the extreme and made a burst of explosion-like sounds, he just covered his palms and made a gesture of pressing down.

"Side!

Several terrible military orders pierced the suffocating air in an instant.

All the Sergeants of the Guards had been waiting for the military order for a long time, and finally heard that the military order was issued, and the vast majority of the Sergeants of the Guards almost subconsciously carried out the military order with a wooden mind, and went down with their bodies on their sides.

Most of the sergeants had a shallow ditch in front of them, which was not deep, and it was not wide, but it was equivalent to being able to embed their people sideways.

At the moment when they subconsciously carried out the military order issued, with a sharp whistle, the smoke and dust above the Wushi cavalry dispersed, and a rain shining with crystal light suddenly appeared, and in the next moment, this rain had reached the top of the Su Guard.

Puff puff......

Clouds of dust covered the line of the guards like waves, followed by countless snorts and clanging crashes.

The entire position was almost covered with flying sharp hedrons.

All the guards who were lying on their sides in the ditch were shocked, and they only felt that there were countless sharp qi passing through the heavens and the earth.

However... The vast majority of the Veterans sergeants found themselves unharmed.

And there weren't many casualties.

Most of them came to their senses when the smoke and debris from the sharp stones fell on their bodies - this kind of lying on their sides minimized the possibility of their bodies being directly hit by these sharp stones, and the fragments of the sharp stones were only shot above the ground, and there was little threat. And this kind of shallow pit dug is not visible from a distance.

At least it was impossible for the U-Clan, who had just arrived and launched a fierce attack, to see the shallow tunnels they had dug out behind the many bunkers on the hillside.

Before the battle broke out, none of the Guards sergeants understood why Ding Ning had given such an order, why they had wasted some time digging a pit that could neither stop the horses nor crouch in it.

But Fang Cai's timely and accurate military orders clearly reminded them that these shallow tunnels were the "storm stone horses" to deal with this Wu clan's cavalry!

How was Ding Ning able to do it?

They are not border troops, and most of them don't know that the most elite cavalry of the Wu clan has such terrifying means, how did Ding Ning know, and how did he expect that such an elite cavalry would come?

These sober guards were incomprehensible, and while they had more respect for Ding Ning in their hearts, their mood became even more nervous.

The violent tremor of the ground reminded them that the opposing cavalry had begun to rush down the slope, and that they were already less than four hundred paces away.

Even if they jumped up at this time regardless of the military order, under the opponent's sprint, I am afraid that it would be too late to make an effective defense.

And as long as it takes a hundred more steps, the arrows of this Wu cavalry will be powerful.

Under the burst, even if they lie on their sides, those densely covered arrows will eventually cause astonishing damage.

All the Qin army sergeants who watched such a picture from the tower of the Gu Prison Pass were even more bystanders, and they understood this even more.

Looking at the elite cavalry of the Wu clan who surged up the hill like a tide, and the speed was still unabated, under the full sprint, it seemed that there was no difference between the hillside and the flat ground for them, these Qin army sergeants knew very well that unless the young man on the stone could have some means to stop the footsteps of this cavalry army, even if it was for a short time, it would be possible for this Su Guard army to survive.

Otherwise, it will be a one-sided slaughter, and the battle will end quickly.

In the tide-like Wu clan cavalry array, among the dozens of horsemen at the front, an extraordinarily tall rider had already noticed Ding Ning standing on the mountain stone at the back of the Su Guard, and at this moment, the four hooves of the horse under him suddenly sank, splashing four dust flowers, and at the same time, there was a dark cyan giant bow in his hands.

The giant-like rider moved so fast that before anyone could see it, he had drawn his bow and finished an arrow.

An arrow path suddenly appeared in the chaotic air.

A cyan arrow light with a white vortex fell on Ding Ning's body with unmistakable precision.

Ding Ning looked at the oncoming arrow light and didn't make any moves.

Nangong Caishu's eyes, which were standing behind him, narrowed slightly, and with a low shout, she took out her sword.

Knock knock!

There were three explosions in the air in a row, and her sword light slammed into the cyan arrow light, chopping wood like wood, and slashing this arrow with great power in front of her.

Ding Ning's face still didn't change at all.

At the same time, in the carriages on both sides of the front of the dozens of horses that were used as some obstacles, there was already a sword light.

Ding Ning flipped his palm up.

"Up!"

The terrible military order sounded again!
