Empire

The official road in the canyon was narrow. More than 8,000 Black Cavalry cavalrymen stepped on gravel and weeds and galloped southward.

A vigilant Black Cavalry general subconsciously raised his head and looked at the steep mountains on both sides.

He was shocked when he saw several figures holding sharp blades. His pupils shrank and his face changed.

"There are bandits on the mountain!"

The commander of the Black Cavalry suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, giving a loud warning.

Under a sturdy tree on the mountain, Deputy Commander Chen Ru stared coldly at the Black Cavalry cavalrymen marching along the canyon road, with a fierce look on his face.

"Blow the horn! Attack!"

"promise!"

"Ang——Woo——"

The sound of horns echoed in the canyon, and teams of Qinghe soldiers holding sharp blades emerged from their hiding places.

When Zhang Chen, the left general of the Black Cavalry, heard the horn sound, he looked up and saw that there were crowds of people in the surrounding mountains and forests. He didn't know how many people were ambushed. His brain suddenly buzzed and went blank.

""Shh!"

The black cavalrymen in the canyon also reined in their horses. Seeing the Qinghe soldiers emerging like bamboo shoots, they also looked panicked.

"General Zuo, retreat quickly, there is an ambush!"

Seeing the pale-faced General Zuo Zhang Chen, a general hurriedly shouted

""Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Zhang Chen finally came to his senses and turned around to rush out of the canyon.

In the narrow canyon, 8,000 light cavalry were crowded together. It was not easy to turn around in a short time. Suddenly, there was chaos.

Although these light cavalry of the Black Cavalry were elite, they were in danger at the moment and wanted to escape. They didn't care about military discipline.

""Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm the battalion commander!"

A battalion commander from a prominent family saw the crowded official road and shouted loudly, trying to escape first.

But at this time, even a battalion commander from a prominent family was useless, and no one paid attention.

"Boom—Boom——"

As the Black Cavalry and the Light Cavalry were in a mess and scrambled to turn around and retreat, they heard a deafening roar.

On the steep cliffs of the mountains on both sides, huge rocks weighing dozens or hundreds of pounds and some rolling logs were rolling down with a breath of destruction.

"Run away, run away!"

Seeing these rolling thunderstones and logs, the black cavalry's faces turned pale, and many of them drew their swords, trying to cut a bloody path to escape.

""Bang!"

A huge rock rolled down and hit a cavalryman on a warhorse, causing him and his horse to spit blood and fly away.

Amid the screams and the smoke, the black cavalrymen were thrown off their horses by the thunder and rolling logs, and screamed in agony, exacerbating the chaos in the canyon.

Many cavalrymen were directly smashed by the rocks, and their horses were running around in a neighing manner. The canyon was filled with screams.

""Swish, swish, swish!"

While the thunder and rolling logs caused heavy losses to the Black Cavalry and the light cavalry in the canyon, the second wave of attacks had already arrived. Amidst the whistling sound of breaking through the air, a large black rain of arrows enveloped the Black Cavalry and the light cavalry in the canyon.

"Puff puff puff!"

"Well!"

""Ah!"

The sharp wolf-tooth arrows pierced through the bodies of the Black Cavalry directly, nailing them to the ground.

Some wolf-tooth arrows pierced through their heads directly, and countless red and white things splashed around.

Amidst the wailing and screaming, many Black Cavalry light cavalry who were unable to dodge were pierced by sharp arrows, like hedgehogs.

Left General Zhang Chen rolled and crawled behind a big rock. Seeing that people around him were constantly pierced by wolf-tooth arrows, he was so scared that his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

Although he was the Left General of the Black Cavalry, he had never personally fought in the battlefield. This title of Left General was also bought for him by his family for 500,000 gold coins.

He thought that by clinging to the prince's thigh, as long as he made enough military achievements this time, he would be able to rise to prominence when he returned. But who would have thought that the Qinghe uprising army, which was thought to be a group of rabble, was so cunning and vicious.

Not only was the left general Zhang Chen frightened and hid behind a rock, many generals who were also of noble origin were also scared and fled for their lives, and had no time to care about the army.

The eight thousand black cavalry and light cavalry lost the command of their commander, and they scrambled to flee northward. Because someone blocked their way, they swung their swords and chopped at their own people, causing chaos.

After several rounds of arrow rain from the Qinghe Army, the canyon was already full of dead and wounded, and there was wailing.

"Kill!"

As soon as the rain of arrows ended, there were thunderous shouts of killing from the dense forests on both sides of the canyon.

The Qinghe Army soldiers, as fierce as wolves and tigers, rushed towards the defeated Black Cavalry with sharp blades in hand.

Facing these Qinghe Army soldiers with fierce faces, the Black Cavalry, who had suffered heavy casualties, no longer had any will to fight. All the survivors fled to the north of the valley.

It is said that the defeat was like a landslide. Without the command of officers and suffering heavy casualties, the elite Black Cavalry became lambs to be slaughtered.

"Phew!"

""Ah!"

The nimble Qinghe soldiers ran as fast as they could, and chopped down the Black Cavalry when they caught up with them.

Many of the Black Cavalry's light cavalry had their horses crushed to death and had to flee on foot. Facing the ferocious-looking Qinghe soldiers behind them, they ran out of breath, but were still caught up and stabbed to the ground.

Many of the Black Cavalry's light cavalry abandoned their horses and fled all over the mountains and plains, but there were Qinghe soldiers everywhere, and they found that there was no way up and no way down. More than a thousand Black Cavalry's light cavalry were at the back of the marching column, so they turned around and ran very fast, and soon rushed out of the canyon.

When they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly found that countless Qinghe Army cavalrymen were waiting for them in formation with a fierce look in their eyes.

The cavalry battalion under the command of Qinghe Army Lieutenant General Liu Yidao was responsible for cutting off the retreat of the Black Cavalry, which consisted of 5,000 elite cavalrymen. When these 5,000 elite cavalrymen saw the Black Cavalrymen fleeing the canyon in panic, they bared their sharp white teeth, and their bloodthirsty eyes were full of excitement.

Lieutenant General Liu Yidao's ferocious face was full of murderous light, and he slowly drew out his sword.

And behind him, with a clanging sound, a bright knife light flashed.

"Kill!"

Five thousand Qinghe cavalrymen roared to the sky, urging their horses to charge at the panicked Black Cavalrymen like a flood.

Soon, more than a thousand Black Cavalrymen who escaped from the canyon were drowned by Liu Yidao and his cavalrymen. Amidst the dull screams and clanging sounds of weapons, the Black Cavalrymen were cut off their horses one after another.

In just a moment, more than a thousand Black Cavalrymen were turned into corpses lying on the ground at the entrance of the canyon, and their blood dyed the grass red and soaked into the soil.

The elite Black Cavalrymen led by General Zhang Chen did not even have the opportunity to show their strength before they were completely wiped out in this canyon.
