The Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment has a strong sense of execution.
Moreover, they were inherently fierce people. In the Western Frontier, not every soldier could join a heavy cavalry regiment, and those who could were proud of it.
They had been traveling for so many days, and hadn't even managed to shoot a bird, let alone fight a battle, so they were all getting impatient.
Upon hearing the order from General Kaluqi, the heavy cavalry regiment charged out on yaks. Instantly, outside the walls of Jingzhou, a vast, dark mass of troops could be seen advancing madly! The entire earth trembled from the trampling of the numerous yaks!
The Prince of Jin was secretly amazed by this scene, thinking to himself that this heavy cavalry regiment was indeed worthy of its reputation. If they attacked together, who could stop them?
So he secretly planned that after taking down all the Silver Thread Army soldiers, he would have Kadan lead the troops to Southern Qi, conquer all of Southern Qi, kill all the heavy cavalry while they were exhausted, and then force Kadan to hand over Western Xinjiang to eliminate future troubles!
Just as the Prince of Jin was having good thoughts, the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment had already rushed to the center of the open space, and was less than a mile away from the Southern Qi Silver Thread Army. However, the Silver Thread Army stood still and did not move an inch.
Everyone seemed to sense a conspiracy, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was. However, as the heavy cavalry regiment drew closer to the Silver Thread Army, they felt relieved.
The soldiers at the front of the Silver Thread Army, carrying shields, suddenly crouched down and hid behind their shields after the heavy cavalry regiment approached by several dozen meters.
Before the heavy cavalry regiment could react, a series of deafening explosions rang out.
"Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!"
Immediately afterwards, the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment, which had been charging forward with imposing momentum, was blown into the air. In an instant, the area where the heavy cavalry regiment was located became a hell, with limbs of yaks and people flying everywhere and blood splattering everywhere!
The heavy cavalry regiment at the very front of the column suffered heavy losses, with many killed or wounded and rendered incapable of fighting.
"This...this is..."
Kadan was shocked, and then felt heartbroken.
This is his most elite heavy cavalry regiment! And now, before the battle has even started, more than half of them have been killed or wounded. How can they possibly win?
"Is this a thunderclap in broad daylight?"
The Prince of Jin spoke first.
"Yes, it's Thunder in the Day!"
The Prince of Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader were extremely familiar with the Daytime Thunderclap, because Jing Zhe would often suddenly unleash several of them during battles. Even though they were Grandmasters, they dared not be careless, after all, there were traces of the Daytime Thunderclap at the scene of the deaths of the Tongtian Twin Monsters at the foot of Changsheng Mountain!
Both Grandmasters died from the Daytime Thunderclap, which shows its power!
Su Lichen recognized him too. After all, when Qi Junguang first came to Jingzhou to compete with Jing Zhe, Qi Gulong, the number one warrior of Southern Qi, died under the thunder in broad daylight!
"How could there be thunder in broad daylight in Southern Qi? Isn't thunder in broad daylight something only Jing Zhe can do?"
After Su Lichen asked this question, the Prince of Jin's expression grew even more grim: Could it be that Jing Zhe reached some kind of agreement with Southern Qi? So he handed over the formula for the Daytime Thunder to Southern Qi? Otherwise, how can we explain that Southern Qi has the Daytime Thunder?
The King of Jin understood Jing Zhe, and the thunderclap in broad daylight was the most precious thing to him. He certainly wouldn't give it to someone else so easily. The most likely explanation is that Southern Qi agreed to some of his demands, such as joining forces to attack Anguo.
Thinking of this, the King of Jin suddenly realized the truth. At the same time, he cursed Jing Zhe countless times in his heart, naturally cursing him for being a traitor who, despite being a native of Anguo, wanted to cooperate with the Southern Qi to deal with Anguo. This made the King of Jin particularly contemptuous. When he was contemptuous, the King of Jin had long forgotten that he had also cooperated with the Southern Qi. It was just that the Southern Qi had abandoned him.
At this moment, Kadan also realized what was happening.
"Isn't this Jing Zhe's stuff?"
When the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry attacked Liangzhou, Jing Zhe used this "Daytime Thunder" to defeat them. That battle was extremely brutal; the Western Frontier King and all his generals perished, allowing Kadan to ascend to the throne.
Having witnessed the power of the Daytime Thunderclap once again, with the heavy cavalry regiment suffering more than half its casualties, Kadan was undoubtedly in no condition to accept this.
"Prince Jin, what's going on? Why didn't you tell me beforehand that Jing Zhe had connections with Southern Qi?"
Kadan's betrayal of Jing Zhe was also carried out quietly, because he wanted to catch Jing Zhe off guard. Otherwise, if Jing Zhe joined forces with the army and used the Daytime Thunder, who could match him?
The Prince of Jin frowned: "How would I know? If I had known they were allied, I would never have let Jing Zhe leave alive outside Ruzhou City a few days ago!"
Kadan didn't care about any of that and simply spread his hands, saying, "Prince Jin, it's no use talking about this now! Who knows how many daytime thunderbolts are buried in that area? Anyway, my heavy cavalry regiment won't be going up there anymore! You can let your Jinxi army go up and try!"
The Southern Qi Silver Thread Army had previously set up camp outside Jingzhou City, neither advancing nor retreating, likely to deceive others! They used the pretense of setting up camp to lull Su Lichen and his men into a false sense of security, and then buried countless daytime thunderbolts in the ground!
The heavy cavalry regiment was blown away by the daytime thunder when it was still a few hundred meters away from the Silver Thread Army. Heaven knows how many more were ahead!
Then Kadan shouted forward, "Retreat!"
Just as the Prince of Jin frowned in thought, his expression shifting between light and shadow, the remaining half of the heavy cavalry regiment, having escaped the massacre because they were at the rear of the column, dared not advance any further.
They may be brave, but they're not stupid!
Many of these heavy cavalry regiments had experienced the battle to attack Liangzhou and had witnessed the power of the daytime thunder. They had survived the last attack and were now terrified.
They had all heard the saying in Anguo: "Once is enough, twice is enough, but three times is not enough." They had already escaped death twice; if it happened again, they would probably be done for.
Just then, Kadan ordered a retreat, and they hurriedly scrambled back, afraid of being hit by the bomb if they were too slow. In their disheveled state, they had long lost their will to fight. Kadan was furious to see this, but there was nothing he could do.
Meanwhile, the Silver Thread Army on the opposite side retreated another hundred meters or so.
The shield was still standing in the same place, but nearly a hundred people came out from behind the shield, and half of them were carrying the same long iron tubes as before.
The people who had taken the iron tubes stood in three rows, with about a meter between each row. The people in the first row squatted on the ground, while the people in the second row half-squatted on the ground, and were more than a head taller than the people in the first row. The people in the third row stood still.
After they took their positions, they took out the iron cylinders and placed them in front of them, tilting the cylinders forward with their openings facing the direction where Prince Jin and the others were.
