Chapter 126

  At a distance from the Beast King Town, Tang Yin ordered the troops to stop and then called for Xiao Mucqing and Cheng Jin. He said: "General Xiao, lead 1,000 cavalrymen around the Beast King Town and go to the predetermined ambush point first!"

  "Understood!" Xiao Muqing nodded on horseback, not delaying for a moment. Led by Yue Tian, he led a thousand cavalrymen, but did not dare to approach the Beast King Town. Instead, they made a big circle and headed northwest of the Beast King Town.

  After Xiao Muqing left, Tang Yin said to Cheng Jin: "General Cheng, lead your hidden arrows and sneak into the vicinity of Beast King Town first. Take care of the sentry outside the town. Remember, don't startle the snake in the grass!"

  "Yes! Sir!" Cheng Jin nodded heavily and dismounted his warhorse. He gathered the Dark Arrow members and proceeded on foot to sneak into Beast King Town.

  Xiao Muzheng and Cheng Jin were dispatched, Tang Yin gave an order to the whole army: "Wrap the horse's hooves!" As he spoke, he dismounted first, pulled out a pre-prepared cloth towel, and tightly wrapped the four hooves of his warhorse. This was done to minimize the sound when charging into battle.

  The soldiers of the Wind Corps followed suit one after another, carefully wrapping the hooves of their war horses and also tying up the horses' mouths with cloth strips.

  Everything is ready, only waiting for the east wind. Now Tang Yin only needs to wait for the hidden arrow to clean up the sentry post outside the Beast King's town and then he can rush over directly.

  Tang Yin and Ai Jia climbed up a mound, from which they could see the whole Beast King Town. At this time, the sky was dim, and the whole town was as quiet as death. Upon closer inspection, the city walls surrounding the town were not high, and there were no sentries patrolling on top. It could be seen that the barbarian army's vigilance was very poor, and it could be said that they had no defense at all.

  Tang Yin's gaze fell, searching for the hidden archers who had slipped away unnoticed.

  Before his eyes was a vast expanse of wild grass, with weeds growing thick and tall, almost as high as half a person. The assassins were hiding in the midst, and even Tang Yin's sharp eyes couldn't spot them.

  This time, Cheng Jin didn't bring out all three teams of Dark Arrows, only bringing the strongest one, with not many people but each one being elite.

  They dispersed and searched for the sentry of Beast King Town according to the map drawn by Aika.

  Cheng Jin chose to attack the most dangerous and important target, which was the front gate of the town, where five barbarian soldiers were guarding.

  The five barbarian soldiers had been on guard all night, and now it was just dawn, the time when they were most tired and sleepy. The five of them sat together in a circle, hugging their long spears and dozing off.

  Cheng Jin silently and slowly approached, observing the situation clearly, his mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile.

  He was originally lying in the grass heap, but his body suddenly appeared beside the five guards, and a spirit armor also covered his body. The steel knife in his hand turned into a slender and long spiritual knife.

  Cheng Jin drifted in with a dark shadow and arrived near the five people. Without stopping for a moment, the spiritual knife in his hand directly pierced into the heart of one of the guards.

  A fatal blow.

  The sharp blade pierced the heart of the guard, who didn't even have time to make a sound before his body fell straight down. Since the five of them were sitting together, if one person fell, the other four would also be startled awake. Cheng Jin took advantage of this and propped up the falling guard's body, then looked at the other four, who were still fast asleep, completely unaware. Cheng Jin didn't show any mercy, his hand rose and fell, and he killed the four guards one by one.

  His movements were too fast, killing five guards in the blink of an eye, and there was no sound. He pulled the bodies of the five guards into the haystack, then made a round to see if there were any other barbarian soldiers, before hiding back in the grass.

  The other members of the Dark Arrow squad also acted exceptionally smoothly, cleanly and neatly disposing of all the barbarian sentries outside the town. After confirming that there were no more sentries, Cheng Jin approached the city wall of Beast King Town again, intending to continue eliminating the guards on the city wall.

  The city wall is not high, and it's easy to climb up using Shadow Shift or directly climbing, but there are too many barbarian soldiers on top. Even if they're completely defenseless, it's unrealistic to think of silently taking them all out.

  After observing for a while, Cheng Jin couldn't find an opportunity to make a move, so he led the Dark Arrow members to sneak back and report to Tang Yin.

  It's enough to clear the sentry post outside the town, as for the barbarian soldiers on the city wall, Tang Yin can't take care of that many, he quickly got on his war horse and gave a decisive order: "All brothers, follow me in a charge, do your best, kill all movable barbarians!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he urged his horse forward with a kick of his feet. The warhorse understood and galloped off towards Beast King Town with its four hooves.

  The two thousand cavalrymen also urged their war horses on, closely following Tang Yin's back.

  Two thousand cavalry, speeding swiftly, because the hooves were wrapped up, the war horses galloping did not make much noise, but the shockwave generated by the two thousand cavalry charging was not something that could be eliminated by wrapping with cloth.

  When the cavalry was still over 200 meters away from Beast King City, the barbarian soldiers on the city wall finally sensed something. However, at this time, the sky was dim and the barbarian soldiers on the city wall saw a team of cavalry quickly approaching, but the other side did not raise any flags, and their clothing could not be seen clearly, so they could not judge whether the other side was an enemy or their own people.

  A burly barbarian soldier climbed onto the wall and shouted down: "Who are you? State your name!"

  Tang Yin, who was at the forefront, didn't think twice and directly replied: "One of us!" At this time, his study of the Besa language came in handy. A sentence in Besa language reduced the other's vigilance greatly.

  A distance of two hundred meters, in the blink of an eye, when Tang Yin rushed to the city gate on horseback, the barbarian soldiers on the city wall suddenly discovered that the person who came was wearing Feng Guo armor.

  "It's the enemy..." The burly barbarian warrior's face changed greatly, and he involuntarily let out a cry of surprise, but his voice had just barely escaped his lips when it was abruptly cut off by an arrow that precisely pierced his throat.

  Thud! The barbarian soldier's body fell straight to the ground, and before the surrounding barbarians could react, arrows rained down from the sky. The arrow-shooting momentum of the 2,000 cavalrymen was also exceptionally frightening. In an instant, a large number of barbarian soldiers on the city wall fell down.

  "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking! Close the city gate! Close the city gate quickly!" The barbarian soldier on the city wall woke up with a start and shouted loudly.

  But at this time, it's too late to close the city gate again.

  Tang Yin swiftly descended like a shadow, with the fastest speed, and was the first to charge into the city gate tunnel. As he approached, the sickle in his hand swung out to the left and right, "Ka Cha", "Ka Cha"! Along with two flashes of cold light, the barbarian soldiers who attempted to close the city gate fell down in a row.

  The other barbarian soldiers were shocked and frightened, and they raised their knives and rushed towards Tang Yin.

  Tang Yin snorted, swung his scythe horizontally, and a wave of spiritual energy shot out, sweeping away the several barbarian soldiers who were charging towards him. The screams echoed through the air as several barbarian soldiers were cut in half at the waist, their fresh blood splashing all over the ground.

  His cultivation has reached the Ling Yuan realm, and the spiritual waves he emits are even more powerful and sharp, unstoppable. Even if the barbarian soldiers' armor is thick and heavy, the spiritual waves can still kill them like cutting vegetables.

  As several barbarian soldiers fell, the enemy's troops did not decrease but instead rapidly increased, more and more barbarians came out from the city wall and town, gathering towards the city gate.

  If it goes on like this, all our men will be blocked outside the city gate. If time drags on, we'll lose the effect of a surprise attack. Once the barbarian soldiers react and turn into a defensive battle, it will be difficult to take down Beast King Town.

  Thinking of this, Tang Yin suddenly became anxious and let out a loud shout. The scythe in his hand ignited with dark flames, and then he used all his strength to charge forward, crazily slashing and killing.

  The city gate was narrow, and the barbarian soldiers were densely packed. When Tang Yin's scimitar struck, the barbarians had no room to dodge. The blade tore through their armor, and dark flames engulfed their bodies. Tang Yin's warhorse advanced only one meter forward, but the barbarians who turned into mist numbered over a hundred, revealing the intensity of the battle.

  "Get out of the way!"

  At this time, Tang Yin heard the shouting of Shangguan brothers behind him.

  Although he didn't know what was going on, Tang Yin still reined in his horse and left through the city gate.

  Just as he was about to leave, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao simultaneously swung their spiritual guns, unleashing the ultimate technique of the Ten Cross Slash. The Ten Cross Slash is a large-scale attack skill that, when performed by two cultivators who have reached the Spiritual Origin realm, has enormous power. Two ten-cross-shaped spiritual waves swept across, and the barbarian soldiers gathered at the city gate immediately fell to the ground, with more than half of them defeated. The remaining barbarian soldiers were shocked and retreated in disarray.

  Opportunity is rare, Tang Yin can't miss it. While urging his horse to rush in, he turned his head and shouted loudly: "Kill them!"

  Wow!

  Tang Yin led the cavalry, with a loud shout, charging into the Beast King Town.

  Infantry resisting cavalry, the most important thing is the number, only when the number is enough can they withstand the opponent's impact. Once the number is insufficient, the cavalry doesn't need to take action, and the war horse's collision and trampling can kill the opponent.

  At this moment, the situation is such that the two brothers of Shangguan expend a large amount of spiritual energy to execute the Ten-Character Cross Slash, instantly killing nearly half of the barbarian soldiers in the city gate tunnel. The remaining people didn't even have the chance to escape before being knocked down by the charging cavalry, and before they could get up, the following cavalry also fell. The iron hooves of the war horses ruthlessly trampled over their bodies, and in an instant, the people were trampled into pieces, turning into minced meat.

  As they entered the town, the cavalry charge had room to unfold. Two thousand cavalrymen, seeing people and chopping them down, encountering people and killing them, directly killed those scattered barbarian soldiers until they cried out for their fathers and mothers.

  Tang Yin disregarded others, exerting all his strength to charge towards the center of the town. The idea of 'hitting the snake at seven inches and capturing the king first' had become his guiding principle in battle. As long as he killed the enemy's leader, the remaining barbarian soldiers would fall into chaos without a fight.

  The barbarian soldiers were indeed unprepared, and upon hearing the battle cry, many of them rushed out of their barracks, still half asleep, without even wearing armor or holding weapons. By the time they reached the streets, before they could even figure out what was happening, they were met with a fierce charge from the Wind Country's cavalry, and the barbarian soldiers didn't even understand how this group of Wind Country cavalry had arrived until their dying breaths.

  Soon, Tang Yin rushed to the central area of the town, where a large number of barbarian soldiers were gathered. Some wore armor, while others only wore shorts, and their weapons were varied, including swords, spears, clubs, and iron hooks. Most of the barbarian soldiers looked bewildered, looking around in all directions, searching for signs of the enemy.
