By this time, the mountain stronghold had been completely torn apart by the Black Dragon Riders' repeated attacks, and it had long since lost its defensive capabilities.
Although those cultivators were no match for the Black Dragon Riders, they did not despair and were still forming an array to protect themselves, which surprised Yang Cheng.
Zhang Liang was about to lead the Iron Slave to attack, but Yang Cheng stopped him.
"I'll do it. To break these Black Dragon Riders, we must use overwhelming power to completely kill them, otherwise it will be useless."
Yang Cheng held the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, and instantly a terrifying blade of light fell from the sky.
The black dragon riders sensed the blade's edge approaching but did not choose to dodge.
It actually turned its horse around and charged towards Yang Cheng like a black arrow.
Yang Cheng also discovered that although the techniques these guys practiced could condense evil energy to the extreme, their drawback was that they turned people into machines.
These Black Dragon Riders were almost fearless, only knowing how to charge and charge again, without even knowing any flanking tactics.
Of course, this was not a strange or evil method brought by Xu Fu, but rather a result of a secret military strategy.
The military strategist lineage was distributed throughout the Warring States period; every state had a tradition of military strategists.
The military strategists of the Qin state had long ago developed their own unique supernatural techniques and secret methods, and the Black Dragon Riders were a masterpiece of these strategists.
The blade's edge tore through the killing intent, instantly slaying the leading Black Dragon Rider.
But the Black Dragon Riders still charged forward fearlessly.
Yang Cheng slashed down with his three-pointed, double-edged sword, the blade's light stretching across dozens of feet, even tearing huge cracks in the earth.
When the Black Dragon Rider charged in front of Yang Cheng, there was only one of him left, but he still coldly thrust his lance at Yang Cheng.
A streak of blood flew past, and in an instant, the black dragon rider and his horse were cut in two.
One man against a hundred riders, but the entire battlefield was like a grinding wheel of flesh and blood, with severed limbs everywhere.
Zhang Liang's men were all stunned.
This is the Black Dragon Cavalry, the most elite cavalry in the entire Qin Dynasty!
The Black Dragon Cavalry were absolutely one in a million among the Qin cavalry; the entire Black Dragon Cavalry of the Qin Dynasty numbered no more than ten thousand.
Most Black Dragon Riders appear in squads of a hundred men, except for one squad of a thousand men in Xianyang.
A hundred Black Dragon Riders could break through tens of thousands of elite troops. Yang Cheng's killing of these hundred Black Dragon Riders was no different from fighting against tens of thousands of troops all by himself.
When they saw Zhang Liang emerge from behind Yang Cheng, the group exclaimed in delight, "My lord!"
Zhang Liang sighed, "The Black Dragon Riders came for me, but I didn't expect that some of them would actually track me down to the mountain stronghold."
This Brother Yang Cheng is a descendant of a reclusive master. He is very powerful. He saved my life from the Black Dragon Riders before, and now he has saved everyone else.
Brother Yang has already agreed to join us in resisting the tyrannical Qin Dynasty; he is now our lord!
Upon hearing this, the cultivators present immediately bowed to Yang Cheng and said, "Greetings, my lord!"
Yang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone."
In fact, it was not easy for Yang Cheng, an outsider, to gain their trust. Even if Zhang Liang said that Yang Cheng was his equal, they would not really regard Yang Cheng as their lord.
However, the impact of Yang Cheng killing over a hundred Black Dragon Riders as soon as he appeared was simply too great.
Not to mention that Yang Cheng also saved their lives, which together was enough for them to respect and submit to Yang Cheng.
Zhang Liang sighed, "Let's pack our things and get ready to leave. This place has been discovered by the Qin state, and we can't stay here."
The relocation of several hundred people was not particularly noticeable; they were bandits by nature, and if they couldn't stay in one place, they would simply move to another.
According to Zhang Liang, because the First Emperor neglected state affairs, the governance at the grassroots level in Qin was very poor, especially in the former territories of the six states, where the people still favored the former states, so many rebellious forces were lurking among them.
Even the local population of Qin was in a state of chaos.
The emperor neglected state affairs, and although ministers like Li Si had some power, they were unable to issue orders beyond the emperor's authority.
Normally, Prince Fusu could oversee the country, but for some reason, this prince, who had always had an excellent reputation and whose reputation was not negatively affected even by the anti-Qin organizations in various places, offended the First Emperor and was disliked by him, so he was sent to the north to guard the Great Wall.
Therefore, it can be said that although Qin's military strength remains formidable, its local rule has become somewhat unstable.
Once Zhang Liang and his men escaped their pursuers, settling down elsewhere wouldn't be a problem.
