Chapter 32 The enemy mocked the Xuanjia cavalry, only to be slapped in the face in an instant!

Buzz—

Under the cover of night, a black drone silently flew over the city gate, behind which lay an open space.

Ning Jinli stared at the screen. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating as she watched Duan Wu rush in alone before Xiao Qidi could give any orders.

Duan Wu was too impulsive...

However, his impulsive feelings are understandable.

Ning Jinli hurriedly used the drone's camera to check the condition of the open space.

Fortunately, no traps were found.

Otherwise, even if Duan Wu's equipment was better than the enemy's, something bad would probably still happen.

After Duan Wu went in, Xiao Qidi ordered twenty Xuanjia soldiers to guard the gate to prevent the enemy from trapping them. Only then did he lead the other generals and Xuanjia soldiers in.

Splash—

Hundreds of soldiers from the Yu Kingdom emerged from the surrounding area and lit the torches on the walls.

On the city walls on both sides of the city gate and the tower, soldiers from the Yu Kingdom also appeared and lit bonfires.

In this way, the open space inside the city gate is illuminated.

Ning Jinli quickly flew the drone higher to avoid being spotted by the people on the city wall.

"Ba Yong! Come out here!" Duan Wu's forehead veins bulged, and his eyes were wide with anger.

"Hahaha!" A rough laugh rang out. "Xiao Qidi, you don't need to be so cautious. Dealing with such a small number of people like you is no problem for this general!"

As the sound appeared, Bayon appeared before everyone.

He was tall and strong, with a full curly beard, and wore iron armor, resembling a bear walking upright.

"Ba Yong!" Duan Wu gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke.

"I wondered who was making all this noise. It turns out to be the young general of Xitun Pass," Ba Yong said, glancing at Duan Wu with disdain. He paused for a moment, then looked behind Duan Wu.

He burst into laughter again, "Hahahaha! Why are you all dressed so strangely? Are you here to put on a show for this general?"

Ning Jinli heard these words through the drone.

She pursed her lips and muttered to herself, "Don't look down on work clothes paired with a bulletproof suit. It's way better than your full suit of armor, humph!"

"Kneel down and die!" Duan Wu roared, drawing his long sword from his waist.

The blade was gleaming and reflective, which made Bayong's expression change.

Just by looking at the style and texture of the knife from afar, he felt that it was not a bronze knife, but seemed to be comparable to the iron knife he used.

Strange, when did the remnants of the Xitun Pass get such good swords?

"Ha!" Ba Yong stared straight at Duan Wu and sneered, "You think you can act tough in front of this general just because you have a good sword? Be careful not to fall off your horse."

He completely disregarded Duan Wu's anger.

Stroking his beard, he shouted at Xiao Qidi, "Judging from your posture, you're planning to attack on horseback? Wearing strange and ridiculous clothes is one thing, but you're all cavalry! Xiao Qidi, you have absolutely no idea how to fight!"

Xiao Qidi remained silent, simply looking at him calmly.

Ba Yong continued, "Xiao Qidi, I am in a good mood right now. As long as you hand over the Canglan Jade, I guarantee I will show you special mercy and let your ridiculous cavalry die a quick death. As for the tens of thousands of people in Linxian Village, I also guarantee that I will only kill them and not torture them."

Xiao Qidi's thin lips moved slightly, "And what about me?"

"You?" Ba Yong sneered, "You are, after all, the king of Xuan Kingdom. This general cannot kill you casually. I must let you experience all the methods I use to torture prisoners. Otherwise, how can I justify the loss of more than 10,000 elite soldiers?"

Xiao Qidi remained unfazed.

The other generals of Xitun Pass suppressed their anger and waited for the emperor to give the order.

Duan Wu, having reached his limit, jerked the reins, spurred his horse forward, and gripped the long sword in his hand tighter and tighter.

Bayon's eyes were full of mockery. He casually pointed to an archer next to him and said, "You should play with him first. You should ride a horse too, so you don't bully him too much."

"Yes, General!" the archer replied.

As Duan Wuchong approached, archers on horseback blocked his way, defiantly brandishing their bows.

Bayon had a table brought over and large chunks of cooked mutton laid out on it. He ate while watching.

The archer from Yu Kingdom rode his horse around Duan Wu, then squeezed his legs tightly around the horse's belly, released the reins, and nocked an arrow and drew his bow.

Despite his excellent horsemanship, he needed to expend a lot of energy maintaining his balance while moving at high speed, so he aimed for a while before releasing an arrow.

Whoosh!

Upon hearing the sound, Duan Wu hurriedly dodged, tilting his upper body sharply to the right.

The arrow grazed his shoulder.

"You reacted quickly, but it's a pity you fell off your horse before you could even fight back," Bayong mocked, biting into a piece of mutton.

The archer cavalryman also wore an expression of amusement.

In the blink of an eye, Duan Wu not only didn't fall off the horse, but miraculously managed to stay on!

Bayon let out a sound of surprise.

The archer cavalryman looked astonished. "Impossible... How... How did they do that?"

Logically speaking, no one could possibly maintain their balance while leaning to that angle!

"Give me your life!"

Duan Wu roared, turned his warhorse around, and charged straight at the archer cavalry, wielding his gleaming longsword.

The archers then noticed that Duan Wu's feet seemed to be stepping on something strange on the sides of the warhorse's belly.

He frantically tried to dodge on horseback, hoping to find another opportunity to shoot an arrow, but Duan Wu relentlessly pursued him, forcing him to speed up his horse.

Historically, cavalry has primarily used bows and arrows to conduct long-range guerrilla warfare against infantry, and has not been the main force in combat.

You don't need to ride very fast, just a little faster than the infantry, so you can shoot arrows without being thrown off your horse.

But at this speed, he found it difficult to shoot arrows again.

"Damn it... I'll risk it all!"

The archer gritted his teeth and had no choice but to let go of the reins as his warhorse galloped at full speed. Before he could even draw his bow, he lost control of his body and fell off the horse!

Duan Wu rode up at breakneck speed, gripping the reins firmly with his left hand, crouching low, and slashing down with his long sword in his right!

Whoosh!

Before the archer could react, his head flew off his shoulder!

Bayong jumped up, his eyes wide open.

"Great!" Li Yao couldn't help but shout.

The entire Xuanjia Army also showed expressions of joy and excitement.

Previously, they had only trained with stirrups and had felt the obvious benefits they brought, but now they were truly demonstrating their combat effectiveness!

Moreover, Duan Wu's horsemanship skills were quite average.

If even he can do this, wouldn't it be incredible if it were an elite soldier skilled in horseback riding?!

Xiao Qidi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Stirrups, they really are a good thing."

Da da da!

Having just killed an enemy, Duan Wu's blood was boiling, and he charged at Ba Yong again with his sword in hand!

Ba Yong kicked over the table in front of him, snatched a bow from a soldier next to him, and fired an arrow at Duan Wu, who was charging towards him!

He was incredibly strong, and his archery skills were both fast and accurate!

Whoosh!

Duan Wu had no time to dodge the arrow and was struck directly in the heart!

"Hahaha!" Bayon laughed loudly, "You're not qualified to kill me!"

"Is that so?" Duan Wu casually deflected the arrow.

The arrow was merely stuck in the outer fabric of the bulletproof vest; it didn't pierce through at all.

Bayon was shocked.

In that instant, he suspected there was something wrong with the arrowhead, and even doubted the strength of his own shot, but he never imagined that it was the armor he had mocked that had blocked it.

"Die!" Duan Wu rode up to him, his horse's hooves raised high, his long sword about to strike!
