Noticing that the infantry legion was getting closer and closer to the two, Zu An dared not delay any longer. He mounted his horse, but Qiao Xueying was clearly in no condition to ride on her own, so he simply pulled her into his arms and the two rode together on one horse.
Zu An found some strips of cloth and tied Qiao Xueying to himself. He then spurred his horse and led the herd to the side of the infantry formation.
Qiao Xueying was both embarrassed and anxious. The two were in an extremely embarrassing position, sitting facing each other. To prevent her from being thrown off the horse, Zu An wrapped her legs around his waist, so that she was sitting completely in his lap.
Her petite and slender figure was just right; otherwise, Zu'an probably wouldn't have been able to see the road ahead.
Despite feeling shy, she knew that this was the most reasonable solution under the circumstances. If she were left behind, she would surely be chopped into mincemeat by the terracotta warriors. She herself was too weak to ride a horse, and she couldn't even hold onto Zu An's body. The only way to avoid affecting his actions later was to tie her to his arms like this.
But this position was still too embarrassing. Even with her usual chattering habit, she was too ashamed to speak to him now. She simply pressed her face against his shoulder and pretended to be unconscious to avoid embarrassment.
At this moment, Zu An couldn't care less about any romantic feelings; he was just secretly glad that Qiao Xueying was very light and shouldn't affect his movement and speed later.
He led his horse herd around the flank of the infantry formation, constantly searching for their weaknesses.
Noticing that he had circled around to the side, the advancing infantry formation immediately turned around and faced him again.
This was expected. Zuan continued to circle around their formation, shining his flashlight into their eyes as he waited for the right opportunity.
At first, archers fired at them, but the horses were too fast, and Zaun controlled the distance by using flashlight beams to suppress them, so their arrows had little effect.
As the formation became chaotic, the arrows that were fired became sparse and disorderly, losing their initial power.
Zuan led his cavalry, weaving in and out of formations, sometimes in an "S" shape, sometimes in a "B" shape, and so on, until he was almost nauseous. Finally, a slight opening appeared in the terracotta warriors' formation.
He immediately seized the opportunity, changing his previous wandering behavior, and led his cavalry to flank and slant towards the rear of the Terracotta Army formation.
He needed to deal with the archers first, otherwise these ranged attackers would pose too great a threat to him.
The force of the warhorses quickly scattered the archers' formation, throwing them into chaos.
Zuan lightly touched the ground with his toes and jumped off the horse, letting the herd of horses charge and trample the terracotta warriors' formation. He himself became a blur, wielding his deadly dagger and relentlessly reaping the lives of passing archers.
Although archers are extremely powerful at long range, once they get close, they become lambs to the slaughter. Their close combat ability is far inferior to that of infantry and cavalry. In addition, Zaun's body is strange and his speed is extremely fast. They die before they can even touch the hem of his clothes.
Qiao Xueying clung to him like a koala, holding on tightly as much as possible so as not to hinder his battle, even though she was exhausted.
She had been watching his strange movements from the sidelines, but now she was experiencing it firsthand. She had been wondering if she could figure out what was going on, but after watching for a while, she felt dizzy, nauseous, and disgusted. So she simply stopped watching, closed her eyes, and listened to the sounds around her.
She could feel the dagger in the other's hand piercing the bodies of archers one after another, the clean and crisp sound revealing a strange beauty.
She thought to herself: Luckily, the young lady wasn't around, otherwise she might have been stunned by this guy's handsomeness...
After a while, the surroundings quieted down, with only the other person's heavy breathing. She opened her eyes and saw that all the archers around her had fallen to the ground, and Zuan also had many wounds. Even if those archers were not good at close combat, they had the advantage of numbers, so they were not completely helpless.
Noticing the location of some wounds on his body, Qiao Xueying's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but ask, "You just suffered a lot of unnecessary injuries so that I wouldn't get hurt, right?"
"I can't possibly use you as a shield," Zuan waved his hand dismissively. "Besides, I'm the one who brought you to my side. How embarrassing would it be if you got hurt?"
Qiao Xueying bit her lip and didn't say anything.
"By the way, do you have any healing medicine?" Zuan asked. He was already seriously injured and was only able to hold on thanks to the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra. He had just fought with those archers and suffered several more injuries. Now his health was almost depleted.
Although he has dealt with the cavalry and archers, there are still five hundred infantrymen left. He will inevitably be injured in the battle against them, and he may not be able to hold out until the end in his current condition.
"That's all." Qiao Xueying looked apologetic. She had been fighting fiercely all day and had been seriously injured several times. She had just run out of the last bit of medicine.
"Then I can only wish myself good luck!" Zuan took a deep breath, holding the magic flashlight in one hand to clear the way, and the dagger of certain death in the other, he charged into the infantry camp.
Normally, let alone him, even fifth-rank experts like Shi Kun would only face certain death if they charged into the terracotta army formation. However, he had just successfully disrupted the terracotta army formation with his horses, and he could also use his flashlight to distract others and prevent them from being surrounded. Therefore, he did have a chance.
The terracotta infantry were clearly furious. With so many of them against just two people, their cavalry and archers were wiped out. And yet, the enemy still dared to charge at them. Did they want to fly to the heavens?
