Chapter 574: Spear Master, True Dragon Emperor
on the official road.
The vice president, who was the commander of the infantry, stopped in his tracks, his face filled with panic. In the player's friend list, the pattern of the Burning Sky turned gray.
In the fog ahead, thunder rumbled and the ground was shaking slightly. A row of dragon-headed monsters emerged from the fog, and eight hundred cavalrymen launched an attack.
"Form a formation, the Marshal is on the way to support us!"
The three thousand bandits barely formed a battle formation, but the overall formation was extremely loose. Despite this, the Dragon Cavalry and Ansai Iron Cavalry still did not attack, but continued to draw bows and shoot arrows around the battle.
In a quarter of an hour, hundreds of bandits were shot to death. The bandits in the rear of the battle formation turned around and ran, causing the central army and the front army to collapse one after another. The vice president was furious, but a heavy arrow smashed his body. Jiang He waved his hand lightly, and a hundred skeleton dragon riders turned their horses around and smashed the last resistance of the bandits' front army.
"This combat effectiveness is too weak." Wuhe couldn't help but complain. These guys are completely inferior to the Northern Wei army.
The battle formation ceased, and the cavalry's attack began.
The Ansai Iron Cavalry were all wearing Ding-grade armor, like a moving steel fortress. When they rushed into the crowd, cold lights flashed, the blades cut through the air, and screams rang out one after another.
One hundred skeleton dragon riders ran on both sides of the official road, killing all the bandits who tried to run into the wilderness. One bandit waved a dagger and tried to resist, but was pierced through by the vicious soldier's spear and lifted high up. When he fell to the ground, he was just a broken body.
"Let me go first!"
"There is no way to survive if you run away. Go back quickly!"
"Do not kill me!"
The fleeing bandits and infantry pushed each other in panic, and dozens of them stumbled to the ground, then became broken bones and flesh under the horses' hooves. Corpses were spread across the ground, broken limbs and weapons were scattered all over the ground, and dark red blood flowed in winding ways, gathering into small pools of blood in the low-lying areas. The eight hundred cavalrymen chased for more than five miles, and there were very few casualties.
Dozens of cavalrymen were pulling long thorn ropes and dragging away the corpses. These were the prince's precious alchemical materials.
At three quarters past three in the morning, the second alchemy began.
Each evil soldier and skeleton mount consumed three materials each. The physical damage was offset by some martial arts-trained bandits, and eventually, 1,500 Ansai Iron Cavalry were created.
"A total of 2,300 cavalrymen, we are ready."
The troops entered the military camp and looted a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, food, and weapons. The former were distributed according to merit, and the latter were sent to the heavenly realm of Gluttony to serve as war reserves.
Dawn was approaching, but the military camp was still dark.
There were roughly two thousand people in the livestock camp, most of them were the elderly, the weak, women and children; the young and strong had either been lured away or killed.
Wuhe glanced at the naked official lady and her personal maid beside the campfire. Both of them were already dead.
"Boss, the Ansai County defenders will not open the city gates to recruit them. Since they have been able to hold out until today, they must have considered the possibility of the bandits cheating. If we ignore them, these people may give rise to new bandits."
The gang seemed to be thinking about something. More than 2,000 people could eat any village out of its house. The bandits were like a plague, extremely contagious and difficult to deal with.
"Since Lao Hei is not here, it has nothing to do with you and me." Jiang He said calmly. It would not be necessary to kill them all and use them as materials, but it was impossible to come forward to settle them when they were surrounded by enemies.
[Hint: The side quest has been completed]
[Tip: You get 2 skill points and 1 gold skill point]
Jiang He upgraded his spearmanship master to LV100, and then upgraded it to spearmanship grandmaster LV1.
[Tip: Spear Master LV1: When using a spear, causes 452% additional damage, 452% additional soul damage, and 10% of the total damage is converted into true damage]
[Hint: You have awakened the spear master ability - disarm - when facing a master of skills, you can disarm him with one strike]
The promotion of spearmanship to Grandmaster brought a terrifying improvement. The huge soul damage, which was equal to the additional damage, greatly enhanced the overall lethality.
"Dragon Spear is promoted to Grandmaster."
"I should be qualified to challenge the top of the world rankings."
"Using the time ring to kill people all the time seems forced after all."
Jiang He pulled the reins, and 2,300 cavalry followed closely. Under the leadership of Wuhe, the army headed south towards Xuancheng.
……
Xuancheng is a county seat with a history of one thousand years.
It has seven counties under its jurisdiction and is close to Taiping Lake.
As one of the key nodes for the Dashun Army to attack Yangzhou City from the north, it was guarded by the general of the Dashun King, Jiu Tou Hu. Considering the origin of the bandits, the nicknames of these leaders were basically easy to understand and intimidating, but it did not prevent Jiu Tou Hu from having more than 30,000 soldiers under his command.
Xuancheng is an important town with high walls and deep moats. In the twilight, it looks like a giant beast crouching on the earth.
"Boss, we may not be able to capture it with only cavalry." Wuhe looked up and said, "There are many experts under the command of Jiu Tou Hu."
"Wake up Aya." Jiang He said.
They both looked back and saw a little girl in white dozing off on the back of a skeleton dragon rider. After being promoted to a sub-hero, she entered hibernation. The dragon clan often uses this to balance the discomfort caused by rapid growth, but a month has passed and the hibernation has actually ended.
"If you sleep any longer, you'll become stupid. Move around for a while."
Jiang He gently patted Zhuang Ya's little head, and the latter opened her golden vertical pupils dazedly.
"True body, destroy the wall."
"Ok."
Without any hesitation, Zhuang Ya revealed her true form. A 50,000-meter-long white giant snake descended to the earth. Its body was extremely huge, stretching like a mountain range.
The giant white snake crawled quickly, and its body circled Xuancheng three times. As it strangled the city wall, it exploded and collapsed, with smoke and dust rising into the sky. The defense of this important city was extremely fragile at this moment.
Inside Xuancheng.
The thirty thousand bandits and soldiers were stunned, all looking up at the mountain-like snake head in the air. A soldier looked down at the three-foot sword in his hand, and glanced at the enemy like a mountain range. He snatched a warhorse and ran away. For the "bandits", running away when they see the situation is not good is a basic operation.
In the Xuancheng County Magistrate's Mansion, the nine-headed tiger stood up suddenly, his eyes blank and helpless. Facing such an unprecedented giant beast, a cold chill rose from his heart.
"Could it be... the real dragon in the legend?"
On top of the largest restaurant in the city, two sub-heroes looked at each other. Breaking the defense should be possible, but how to kill this unprecedented huge monster? Even the invincible old master probably had no experience.
"Fight?"
"What the hell, what are you waiting for if you don't run away!"
In just a moment, the Ansai cavalry rushed into Xuancheng, arrows flew across the sky, Jiang He attached the final flame with his hand, arrows rained down, the fire spread rapidly, and the black sea of fire gradually enveloped the city.
At the end of the main street, Jiu Tou Hu led three thousand personal soldiers to form a battle array. After the attack of the giant beast, the bandit army, which was not considered elite to begin with, had no intention of fighting anymore. If it were in an ordinary world, relying solely on Zhuang Ya, someone would be able to sit on the throne smoothly and call himself the true dragon emperor.
On the streets, cavalry was charging.
Jiang He handed out a knife, and the knife light was dazzling.
——Sub-legendary Dragon Spear Technique: Thousand Mountains and Snow.
Three thousand arcs of sword light smashed into the battle formation like meteors. Jiu Tou's face turned pale and he turned back tremblingly. In an instant, all his soldiers lost their heads and blood gushed out. The scene was like hell.
When the man stopped his horse and took off his bronze mask, the nine-headed tiger laughed as if crying.
——The immortal on land, King Yong of Qingzhou.
The only person in the world who has such a handsome face that looks like an immortal is Prince Yong, a member of the royal family who is the best at applying rouge.
"The common people pay their respects to the prince."
"Call your men to surrender."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
"Kill them all, and you will live, and you can stay or go as you please."
Jiang He turned around and waved his hand, and the giant white snake immediately disappeared. This trick was mainly for the purpose of surprise. Once the news spread, it might not be so useful next time. After all, the immortals on land and the army controlled by the soldiers could still cause serious damage to the snake's body, and he did not intend to let Aya participate in any bloody battle.
