Chapter 326 It seems that of the prince's sons, at least one is presentable.
It is located twenty miles from Tengwang Pass of the State of Wei.
A man riding a snow-white horse, dressed in silver-white armor, led the way at the head of the five thousand iron cavalry.
Behind the man, five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Riders stood fiercely, the moonlight falling on them, making them look like silver war gods and heavenly soldiers.
However, these battle-hardened warriors saw a hint of disdain and displeasure in their eyes.
One of the lieutenants following the man, in particular, looked at the prince's second son and unconsciously tightened his grip on the reins.
After pondering for a long time, he said again, "General, what we should do is defend Moonlight City and keep an eye on the Wei Kingdom's reinforcements. Is it inappropriate for us to go to the heart of Wei Kingdom now?"
"General Li is overthinking it."
Xiao Yishe, the second young master of the Xiao family, spoke with a smile.
"Now that the situation in Wei is settled, and my father has already led 100,000 Snow-Treading Dragon Riders into Wei, Wei is barely able to protect itself, so why would they come over? In comparison, in the final battle in Wei's capital, the enemy will definitely fight to the death. Our going to help King Yan is for the sake of the greater good!"
"."
The deputy general named Li Jing twitched his brow.
Xiao Yishe said nice things, saying he was thinking about the big picture.
In reality, Li Jing knew perfectly well that Xiao Yishe actually wanted to steal a share of the credit for the destruction of the Yan Kingdom!
This made Li Jing extremely disdainful.
After all, the Snow Dragon Riders have always fought tough battles. When have they ever wanted to steal someone else's credit or share someone else's spoils?
But Li Jing couldn't say anything more.
The prince entrusted his five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Riders to this second young master, ordering them to obey his commands.
The prince originally intended for him to be stationed in Moonlight City. This was a very simple task; to avoid making mistakes would be considered a merit. However, this second young master was ambitious and eager for glory, which was truly shameful!
However, Li Jing felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings) in his heart.
Think of how brave and wise the Prince and the former Prince of Zhenbei were, how come the Xiao Prince's Mansion has become like this in this generation.
It can only be said that every family has its own destiny.
Just as Xiao Yishe led five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Riders to the foot of Tengwang Pass.
Li Jing looked up and saw a masked man standing upright in front of the city gate, holding a long spear.
Behind the man, five hundred iron cavalrymen stood in formation, each soldier and horse motionless, like statues!
Xiao Yishe looked at the enemy's uniforms and flags and instantly recognized that this was Qin Huo's troops, and that these five hundred iron cavalry were Qin Huo's personal guard.
"I am Xiao Yishe, the second young master of the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion. I have led five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Riders to support the Prince!"
Xiao Yishe shouted at the man wearing the Shura mask.
Xiao Mo took off his mask.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Mo's handsome face caused many Snow Dragon Riders to pause slightly, as his good looks contrasted sharply with his murderous aura.
However, most people were somewhat prepared.
Not to mention the whole world, even within the territory of Wei, who doesn't know that there is a general in Qin who is "like a god of war when wearing a mask, and like a gentleman when the mask is removed"?
Xiao Mo looked at Xiao Yishe and said coldly, "The capital of Wei Kingdom has no need for your assistance. You should return to Moonlight City and keep an eye on Wei Kingdom. There is no need for you to take another step forward."
Xiao Yishe frowned: "What if I insist on going forward?"
Xiao Yishe's voice echoed below the city. Xiao Mo did not answer; he simply put on his mask slowly.
The instant Xiao Mo's mask was put on, all five hundred iron cavalrymen raised their spears, pointing them directly at their opponent! Their movements were perfectly synchronized, with each spear tip maintaining the same horizontal line.
"Xiao Mo! You're just a mere illegitimate son! How dare you stop me?!"
Xiao Yishe was furious.
He naturally knew that the masked general depicted in the "Frosty Red Battle Song" that had been circulating during this time was his third brother, a son he had never taken seriously.
That's why Xiao Yishe was even more furious!
It's one thing that my elder brother is more favored by our father, but why is a son born out of wedlock more famous and has made more contributions than me?!
How am I supposed to face this when I get back?
"This is a military order."
Xiao Mo said coldly, without a trace of personal emotion.
"I'll say it one last time, please return!"
Xiao Mo discovered that his so-called second brother didn't seem very smart, and even seemed to be spoiled.
"Snow-Treading Dragon Riders, charge!" Xiao Yi shouted as his defenses crumbled.
But when he finished shouting, the Snowdrift Dragon Rider didn't move at all, as if he hadn't heard his command at all.
Li Jing sighed inwardly and stepped forward, saying, "General, according to the laws of the Qin army, soldiers are not allowed to fight each other. If there is any dissatisfaction, the commanders can resolve it among themselves."
"Fine! I'll kill this illegitimate son and cleanse the family!" Xiao Yishe squeezed his legs together, rode his warhorse forward, and slashed at Xiao Mo with his long sword.
Xiao Mo naturally accepted the challenge.
Although they were at the same level, Xiao Yishe was no match for Xiao Mo.
In less than twenty rounds, Xiao Mo swung his spear and knocked his opponent off his horse.
Just as Xiao Yishe was about to stand up, Xiao Mo's iron boots stepped on his chest, and his spear was already pointed at his throat.
If Xiao Mo had moved even an inch further, blood would have splattered everywhere.
"Xiao Mo, if you have the guts, kill me!" Xiao Yishe roared in anger and embarrassment.
"You think I wouldn't dare?" Xiao Mo's eyes, hidden behind his mask, stared coldly at him.
Xiao Yishe felt a chill run down his spine and dared not utter another word.
He sensed that if he said another word, Xiao Mo would really kill him.
"Get away from me. If you dare to take another step near Tengwang Pass, I will kill you."
Xiao Mo kicked out, and the sound of several bones breaking was heard. Then, he crashed into the formation of the Snow Dragon Riders like a cannonball.
But not a single soldier looked down at Xiao Yishe.
In the end, Li Jing waved his hand, instructing his subordinates to carry the unconscious Xiao Yishe onto the horse's back.
Li Jing glanced at Xiao Mo and the five hundred iron cavalrymen not far away, and asked, "If I were to force my way through Tengwang Pass, does General Xiao think these five hundred iron cavalrymen could stop my five thousand?"
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "If General Li were to lead the troops personally, it would be hard to say, but if it's that incompetent Xiao Yishe, five people would be too many."
"Hahaha!"
Li Jing laughed loudly, then waved his hand.
"Withdraw the troops and return to Moonlight City!"
"yes!"
The five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Riders shouted in unison, turned around and returned, obeying orders without the slightest unnecessary movement.
"No wonder everyone is so eager to ride the Snow-Treading Dragon Rider; there's a reason for it."
Xiao Mo reined in his horse and led his army back.
Li Jing glanced at Xiao Yishe, who had fainted on horseback, then looked back at the upright Xiao Mo, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
It seems that of the prince's sons, at least one is presentable.
