Upon hearing Jin Jianzhong's words, Jin Jianren pursed his lips slightly and said calmly:
"Jiande, just focus on recovering from your injury."
"You don't need to worry too much about the battle at Bailiyuan. Xiong Qian's troops are extremely powerful. Although they were originally the Panlong Army, after my integration and upgrades, they are now one of the top armies in the entire Dagan region!"
"Faced with this mighty army, the traitors... hmph, they're no match for us!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Jiande silently walked to the chair and sat down. He could tell that his elder brother was quite pleased with himself.
But his previous experience fighting the rebels told him that the rebels would not be defeated so easily.
Now that they have already started fighting in Bailiyuan, it will probably be a fierce and chaotic battle. Jin Jiande is always uneasy about the outcome.
But he could no longer express this unease.
If you say it out loud, you might even be ridiculed and mocked by them.
However, regardless of the circumstances, if Xiong Qian loses at Bailiyuan, it will ultimately harm the interests of the imperial court, which is the most unacceptable outcome for His Majesty.
Looking at his eldest and third brothers chatting, Jin Jiande frowned slightly, as if he saw his own reflection in them.
Once upon a time, wasn't I just like that?
No, I have to go find my father and have him meet with His Majesty... It's always good to have a backup plan...
Unwilling to say anything more, Jin Jiande stood up, leaned on his cane, and walked out.
"Huh? Second Brother, you're leaving already?" Jin Jianzhong hurriedly stood up and went to help him.
Jin Jianren sat upright in his chair, watching Jin Jiande's departing figure, and said calmly:
"Jiande, you came and went in such a hurry. Now that your legs are not good, you should rest more."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jiande, who had just reached the threshold, suddenly turned around, his face already showing a hint of anger. He coldly said:
“Brother, you were always cautious in every battle, and you would never make any bold statements before the outcome of a battle was decided.”
"But ever since His Majesty entrusted you with the military command of Huanglong, you've changed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Jianzhong, who was supporting Jin Jiande, was stunned. He turned his head and looked at Jin Jianren.
Jin Jianren, sitting sprawled out in his chair, remained calm and sneered:
"What have I changed? With a large army at my command, who can stand against me?"
"Are you still not confident in winning a battle to quell the rebellion?"
At this point, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his sharp gaze fixed on Jin Jiande, and continued:
"Do you think I've gotten arrogant? Heh."
Jin Jiande gripped his cane tightly, shook his head, and said, "I wouldn't dare."
"Then let's wait for the good news from Bailiyuan."
"If the war has already started, I hope that Xiong Qian and his men are sweeping through the rebel army and crushing them."
Without saying another word, Jin Jiande lowered his eyes, stepped out of the threshold, and slammed his cane heavily on the ground.
——
With a "bang".
The charging cavalryman was cut down by a long-handled broadsword!
The long, narrow blade slashed into the cavalryman's chest. The cavalryman's rapid charge, combined with the force of the slash, collided heavily, and in the next instant, his body, severed in two, flew into the air.
A large amount of blood mixed with a string of internal organs flowing out of his chest cavity was thrown into the air, but the cavalryman still hadn't closed his eyes!
He could barely feel the pain; all he could see through his rapidly shrinking eyelids was his lower body, a horrifying sight that made him want to scream in terror.
But at this moment, it was too late; he had already perished the moment he hit the ground.
The one who drew the sword was none other than Li Siye, the commander of the Mo Dao (陌刀) team!
At this moment, the area around him was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with countless severed limbs and remains scattered on the ground, staining the yellow earth a blood red.
Even so, a large number of cavalrymen were still charging towards him!
"Da da!"
Hooves trampled the blood-soaked ground, and amidst the splattering blood, several cavalrymen rode in. They were not all heavy cavalry; some light cavalry were also mixed in.
In the rear army, Xiong Gan noticed that these Mo Dao soldiers were very skilled at killing heavy cavalry. Once the heavy cavalry fell from their horses, their heavy armor became a burden to them.
Therefore, Xiong Qian made a timely decision to quickly send the light cavalry into the battlefield. Although they were more agile and their fighting ability on horseback was not as good as that of the heavy cavalry, at this time, only they could turn the tide of the battle!
Even if they fall from their horses, the light cavalry are still skilled fighters!
For example, these cavalrymen who are charging towards Li Siye right now know that the person in front of them is a great general who wields a long-handled sword with unparalleled skill, and who has killed countless brothers.
I have to admit, he's very strong!
Even if he's incredibly strong, we must kill him!
"Kill him!"
A roar erupted from the cavalrymen, and as their horses leaped forward, the armor on the heavily armored cavalrymen trembled, making a series of "bang bang" sounds.
Amidst the clanging of metal, several spears thrust out swiftly!
Li Siye was covered in blood, but his Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) still shone as brightly as snow. The silver-white blade reflected his heroic face, and his pair of tiger eyes shot out a burning killing intent!
Faced with this group of cavalry, Li Siye moved his feet, first avoiding the crowd,
Then, twisting his waist and turning around, his back swaying like a dragon, he slashed at the nearest cavalryman with the long-handled broadsword he gripped tightly!
This strike wasn't aimed at any specific part of the cavalryman's body; it was simply delivered by taking advantage of the twisting motion of his waist!
But it was just as effective!
A flash of light, and the cavalryman's left arm was slashed. He was a heavy cavalryman, wearing thick armor, but he still could not withstand the power of the Mo Dao!
To the horrified gazes of the surrounding cavalrymen, the cavalryman who had been slashed had his left arm completely severed, and a chunk of flesh along with his left arm crashed to the ground.
"ah!!!"
The cavalryman's painful howl rang out at this moment; he could no longer remain on the horse and tumbled off!
Meanwhile, the warhorse was still galloping wildly. The cavalrymen, entangled in the reins, were dragged on the ground by the horse. Blood flowed from their cut wounds, and the rolled-up flesh rubbed against the ground, making a hissing sound.
The exposed flesh and the white, broken bones in the wound were scraped across the rough ground, leaving a long trail of blood, with even some small pieces of flesh mixed in with the blood!
"Aaaaaah!"
A wail, almost like that of a wild beast, came from the cavalrymen.
He was still alive at this point, but the excruciating pain was worse than death itself.
The warhorses continued their gallop, carrying the wailing soldiers into the distance.
But the battle behind them was still going on. The tragic deaths of their comrades ignited the ferocity of the cavalrymen. With their bloodshot eyes wide open, they charged at Li Siye with even greater ferocity!
"Prepare to die!"
A thunderous shout rang out, uttered by a rather burly cavalryman.
Unlike other cavalrymen, he wielded a meteor hammer. At this moment, he gritted his teeth, swung his thick arm in an arc, and swung the hammer with almost all his strength!
This hammer blow was aimed directly at Li Siye's lower back as he drew his sword to strike!
