Because what Sun Hao and his men were riding were either Anlu horses or peerless horses produced by the "Annual Signature System", which had more endurance than ordinary war horses and could even allow everyone to gallop all the way.

So the journey that originally took five days only took two days.

However, when they arrived near Iron Lion City, Sun Hao and his friends witnessed a scene that made them indignant.

The army of Magaji, the third prince of the Gule Kingdom, found tens of thousands of Liang people from somewhere and forced them to use simple weapons, simple ladders, and their own flesh and blood to attack the city.

These Liang people, who were mainly composed of the elderly, children, women and children, would be killed by the supervising team composed of white soldiers even if some of them were slow to rush forward.

In fact, only a few of the Liang people who attacked the city could finally climb up the city wall, and they would soon be killed by the soldiers defending the city. Their greatest role might be to consume the defending army's bows and arrows, hot oil, rolling logs and stones and other defensive equipment.

Sun Hao never thought of becoming a hero, but the tragic scene before him and the cries of children and women echoing throughout the battlefield broke a string in his mind.

Sun Hao then said to everyone in a deep voice: "Brothers, I, Sun Hao, am not a hero. My martial arts skills are average and I am timid. I can become the leader of the Sanshui Society only because of the help of my brothers.

But today, I, Sun Hao, want to be a hero and save my fellow Liang people who are being forced to die by the Hu people. Even if I die in battle today, it will be worth it!

Brothers, is anyone willing to die with me?"

"Qin Qiong is willing to die with my lord!"

"Yuchi Gong is willing to die with my lord!"

"My lord, I, Dian Wei, am willing too!"

…

At this time, everyone under Sun Hao's command had unconsciously changed their way of addressing Sun Hao from "Young Master" to "Lord".

Xiao Qiang also excitedly said to Sun Hao: "Master Sun, you are a true hero. I, Xiao Qiang, am willing to die with you!"

Sun Hao shook his head at Xiao Qiang, "Captain Xiao, you can't go. If we all die, someone has to go back to Ganyang City to report the news.

Besides, you have to take care of Aimu, don't let her run away.

Whether we can exchange Princess Huaqing and her son back, we are still counting on her!"

Then Sun Hao said to Princess Aimier: "If I die, don't return to the Mosha Sect. Follow Xiao Qiang to Ganyang City. My brothers who stayed in Ganyang City will take care of you."

Princess Amiel said with tears in her eyes: "My husband, I want to go with you. If you die, I don't want to stay alone in this world."

To be honest, Sun Hao didn't expect Emile to say that. After all, they had only been together for a few days, and Sun Hao had forcibly taken Emile's virginity at the beginning.

Sun Hao smiled slightly: "Emile, my brothers and I are all heavy cavalry, equipped with the best war horses and the strongest armor.

It’s actually not that easy to take our lives.

You don't even have armor. Going with me is tantamount to committing suicide. I can't bear to see you die.

And don't worry, I, Sun Hao, will not die until you give birth to seven or eight children for me!"

Aimu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said to Sun Hao, "There are tens of thousands of Gule troops outside Iron Lion City, including at least tens of thousands of cavalry.

If you rush forward with these two hundred people, you won't be able to save those civilians at all, and you will only die in vain."

Sun Hao took the spear from the saddle's victory hook, smiled at Aimu and said, "I said we could develop feelings for each other through sleeping together. You're just caring about me."

When Aimu heard this, he immediately flew into a rage, "Bah—shameless!

I feel it is not worth it for these loyal knights under your command to follow you to death. I would be happy if you were hacked to death by the sword!"

"Haha, you two-faced woman! When I come back alive, I'll fight you for three hundred rounds!"

Sun Hao then pointed the spear in his hand towards Iron Lion City, "Brothers, let those barbarian bastards see the bravery of our Daliang men. Kill—"

The army of the third prince Magaji outside the city soon discovered that a small group of heavy cavalry was rushing towards the battlefield from the east, so they immediately sent out a cavalry team of a thousand men to meet them.

The military organizations of the countries in the Western Regions were basically similar. The largest organization was the legion, which was composed of several thousand-man infantry squads and thousand-man cavalry squads. The strength of each legion was mostly between 6,000 and 10,000 soldiers.

The thousand-man cavalry unit that faced Sun Hao and his men consisted of about seven hundred heavy cavalrymen wearing iron armor, but their horses were not armored.

The third prince, Magaji, was wondering where this small group of heavy cavalry came from, when he saw that the thousand-man cavalry under his command were just like being crushed by a stone roller.

When they collided with the enemy, all of their heavy cavalry fell off their horses. In just one encounter, this cavalry team of a thousand lost more than half of its strength.

This time, the third prince, Magaj, gathered a total of eight legions, with a total force of about 60,000, trying to seize control of Iron Lion City and defeat the biggest stumbling block to his succession to the throne - his second brother Sadiq.

The eight legions had a total of twenty cavalry squadrons, but most of them were light cavalry wearing leather armor, and only four cavalry squadrons were heavy cavalry equipped with iron armor.

In almost the blink of an eye, a heavy cavalry team of a thousand men was crippled, which made the third prince McGaji gasp in anger.

"Order all cavalry of the Third and Fifteenth Legions to attack and destroy the enemy heavy cavalry appearing in the east!" Third Prince Magaji ordered in a deep voice.
