On the public road leading to Guangyang, about 10,000 soldiers were moving forward. Unlike the other armies of this era, this army did not carry any flag. But the clothes and equipment they wore showed that they were soldiers of Suzhou County.

Cheng Yuanzhi took over Guangyang in one fell swoop, then immediately sent troops to attack and search for fishing yang. Taiyang Shou sent people to help him several times, asking Zou Jing for help. Zou Jing was extremely anxious, he repeatedly urged Yang Lin, and regardless of the fact that Yang Lin's soldiers were not trained, he immediately ordered Yang Lin to attack Guangyang.

These pawns were the recruits that Commandant of Youzhou Zou Jing had requested from the Chi County taiwai, Wei You. They were there to assist Yang Lin in calming down Guang Yang. Wei You had finally managed to recruit over thirty thousand soldiers, but Zou Jing had asked for half of them. Without going through any training, he was caught up by Zou Jing on the battlefield.

With over ten thousand soldiers, Zou Jing asked Yang Lin for a few generals leading soldiers. Zou Jing who had experienced a long battle understood that for these soldiers who had neither trained nor participated in battles, if they did not have a capable general, they could collapse the moment they fought.

Yang Lin was unwilling to part with his brother. In this chaotic world, generals and advisers were the most important wealth. Regardless if Zou Jing had the intention to steal from him, Yang Lin had no choice but to be on guard. Liu Bei's lesson caused Yang Lin to not dare to trust anyone.

That Liu Bei used the opportunity to help Yang Lin to recruit craftsmen, to stop the two generals, Gao Li and Wang Zhi. With these two, Liu Bei quickly formed a team and brought his teacher, Lu Zhi, to his side. It made Yang Lin's heart ache.

After thinking about it, he sent Yang Lei, He Xiong and Cang Jie over. These three people, no matter what methods you use, don't even think of snatching them away from yourself. Regarding Yang Lin's arrangements, Zou Jing was also speechless. Not only were these three experts skilled in martial arts, but they also had experience in leading soldiers. These were rare military generals.

"Brother Yang Lei, Commander Yang has more than twenty thousand cavalrymen, defeating Cheng Yuanzhi is no problem at all. Why did you let us bring these infantry to be the vanguard?"

Yang Lei, He Xiong and Cang Jie were walking in the front of the group, chatting as they walked. He Xiong could not understand, with their fighting strength on the prairie, defeating Cheng Yuanzhi was still a piece of cake, but he actually didn't use any strong riders, he just asked them to lead the charge with these infantry, this was really unheard-of.

"I don't know why either, but I think that Yang Lin must have other plans. He wants us to attack Cheng Yuanzhi, but look, we don't even have a ladder to attack the city. It looks like he doesn't want us to really attack the city."

"I think, he should let us attack Cheng Yuanzhi to attract Cheng Yuanzhi's attention, and then let us suddenly attack Guangyang."

"You think you can figure it out? Even if you want to sneak attack us, the infantry should be able to sneak attack Guangyang, how can the cavalry do that?" Furthermore, there are no cavalrymen on Guang Yang and Yellow-scarf. All of our cavalrymen are tall, fresh, and inferior horses, and even if they wanted to deceive them, they would not be able to do so. "

"I know what's going on."

The one who spoke was Cang Jie, seeing the two of them looking at him, he could not help but reveal a pleased expression, but quickly became stern. He looked at the rising sun in the distance. The vigorous morning sun had just jumped out of the East Sea, and its red rays illuminated half of the sky. He was quickly advancing forward with unstoppable speed. He shook his head and let out a long, worried sigh.

"Sigh …" "The Guang Yang yellow scarf is finished, and the new sun is rising. I'm afraid no one can stop him from rising."

"Hurry up and tell us what happened. Don't be so emotional here."

He Xiong glanced at Cang Jie. When did you become so sentimental? However, Cang Jie did not care about the look in He Xiong's eyes. His mood was indeed very good, the father and son pair were currently following Yang Lin, rising to prominence together with this new star, so how could he not be happy?

"We're just bait. When Cheng Yuanzhi saw that there was only one ten thousand people attacking Guangyang, he knew that they would definitely attack and leave the city to meet him. As long as Cheng Yuanzhi appears in Guangyang, Yang Lin's ten thousand cavalrymen will rush over like a tide and eliminate all of Cheng Yuanzhi's xanthopanax outside the Guangyang City. "

"Ah …" This Yang Lin is too ruthless. The fierce fresh inferior is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of him. Those xanthopanax that have left the city are not like a group of chickens waiting to be slaughtered, how can they even have the strength to retaliate? "

The three of them did not speak for a while, before their eyes, it was as if they saw Yang Lin leading thousands of troops and wielding his spear and saber, like a group of fierce tigers charging into a sheep pen, wantonly slaughtering without resistance or retaliation.

Cheng Yuanzhi had just occupied Guangyang and mugged it for a few days, making him extremely happy. The rich and powerful nobles and rich families of the Guangyang County all came to the Guangyang City. Once the Guangyang City was ruined, they all became Cheng Yuanzhi's spoils of war. However, before he could rejoice for even a few days, a scout came to report that over ten thousand soldiers from Zhuo County had rushed over to kill Guang Yang.

"Gather all of you, go meet the enemy."

"Dang, dang, dang, dang …"

The sound of a gong quickly sounded from the Guangyang City, it was an order to summon the soldiers of the xanthopanax. Many of the soldiers were still looting, trying to find out what was going on in the homes of the commoners who had already been looted a few times. Hearing the order to assemble urgently, they had no choice but to withdraw their plans for the robbery and immediately ran towards the sports field.

"Lord General, we should defend ourselves from the city. When the Zhuoxian soldiers comes from afar, we cannot fight for too long. Once they are exhausted, we can attack later. "

When Zhang Ji heard that Cheng Yuanzhi was going to attack the entire city, he immediately went forward to advise against it. He had finally managed to take over Guangyang, how could he easily leave the city and put himself at a disadvantage? Moreover, half of the xanthopanax s had already gone to attack the fishing yang, so these five ten thousand people s were probably not the opponent of the officials. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuanzhi had his own ideas, and unhappily looked at him, and snorted coldly.

"If Zhuoxian soldiers comes from afar, he will definitely be exhausted. Our troops will go out of the city to meet the enemy, and we will destroy them in one stroke. If you choose to defend the city on your own, you can allow him to catch his breath under the city, and it will be difficult to break through. "

The Youzhou had assassinated Shi Guo Xun's soldiers, and Guang Yang's taiwai, Liu Wei's soldiers had been defeated by him while he was still defending in the city, why would he care about these Zhuoxian soldiers that came from over ten thousand miles away? Without even thinking about it, he gathered all of the Five ten thousand people's horses and galloped out of the Guangyang City, leaving about five thousand people behind to defend the Guangyang City.

"Form the formation, prepare to meet the enemy."

About five kilometers away from Guangyang City, Cheng Yuanzhi finally welcomed the ten thousand odd county soldiers from Shu County. Cheng Yuanzhi who was slightly more knowledgeable in military affairs knew that he had the advantage in terrain, and in this flat plain, only the Wujiapo had some altitude. He immediately ordered a formation to be set up on the Wujiapo, in preparation for a war with the Zhuoxian soldiers.

"Howl …"

The Zhuoxian soldiers's Bullhorn blew, and immediately after, Cheng Yuanzhi's xanthopanax's Bullhorn also blew, its voice was low and long, but everyone's heart was trembling, even the flowers on the Wujiapo could feel it, and they all lowered their heads, as though they could not bear to watch the upcoming massacre. Even the sun that was going to the west had finally found a cloud and hid their faces inside it, whether it was the Zhuoxian soldiers or the soldiers of the xanthopanax, they all felt a chill in their hearts.

The Bullhorn kept on ringing, and everyone could feel the vibrations in the air, as though they had heard the mournful wail of a funeral. The fear of death shook everyone's heart, regardless of whether they were soldiers or military officers, in the forest of archery rain, there were no differences between high and low. No matter if it was the Zhuoxian soldiers or the yellow-scarfed soldier, everyone knew that they had to fight to the death, otherwise, no one could escape from death.

The sun gradually went west, as if avoiding the impending massacre, and stayed behind the clouds, refusing to show his face again. The sky gradually darkened, the sky was overcast, and thick clouds pressed down heavily on everyone's hearts.

"Howl …"

The Bullhorn from both sides continued to ring endlessly, echoing in the desolate plains for a long time, as though they were crying. The aura of death was spreading. The soldiers on both sides were trembling. Fear was tightly holding onto everyone's heart, and everyone held their breath.

The Yellow Scarves was also quite imposing. The horses of the Five ten thousand people s were lined up in a line that could travel ten miles. Everyone had their hair draped over their heads with a yellow handkerchief. Seeing that there was only one ten thousand people on the other side, the confidence in his heart increased. He shouted in unison, startling countless birds in the grass.

Yang Lei sneered. Looking around, there were more than fifty thousand xanthopanax, and less than two thousand with horses. His clothes were in disarray, he had swords and spears, a lot of people holding wooden sticks, kitchen knives, hoes and the like. This was an army, a bunch of refugees. He could not help but shake his head.

"Heavens, this is the xanthopanax that defeated Zou Jing? How big a deal could this motley crowd accomplish? "Can you withstand a single charge from our cavalry?"

He Xiong was also slightly disdainful, with just these noisy farmers, they did not need to rely on their cavalry, just these footmen, they were enough to defeat them. It was hard to imagine how Lord Zou Jing's Youzhou Army and that Guangyang's taiwai, Liu Wei's, County Guard could actually be defeated by these people.

"No wonder Yang Lin is so at ease. With this kind of xanthopanax, he probably can't even beat us foot soldiers."

"xanthopanax wants everyone, no matter what, we can't compare to Yang Lin's cavalry. He is very selective in recruiting cavalry, he doesn't even want to be a little shorter, how could those xanthopanax s be his match."

"Hehe, hehe, looks like there's going to be a good show today. These xanthopanax are really sad."

He Xiong laughed bitterly, but in his heart, he was rejoicing for himself. If he had not met Yang Lin and followed him to the Youzhou, he might have brought the brothers of the eagle peak to another path. From the looks of it now, it was truly a dead end for him.

"Pass down the order, all xanthopanax will be captured alive. Unless absolutely necessary, do not kill him. "

"Understood."

herald ran far away and quickly transmitted Yang Lei's orders to every single soldier's ears. However, He Xiong and Cang Jie couldn't help but shake their heads. Ten thousand against fifty thousand, you still want to capture them all alive?

"Yang Lin is such a merciful person, to actually want us to capture him alive and kill him as little as possible. How could he be so confident that these xanthopanax would obediently let us capture them alive! "

"I'm sure he won't leave us here. There must be other arrangements."

With regards to this, He Xiong was very confident. In order to save the brothers that were captured by the fresh inferior, Yang Lin dared to challenge a fresh and low tribe with tens of thousands of people.

"Raise the flag, get ready to fight!"

"Understood."

The flag was the flag that commanded the battle. If the flag was erected in the middle of the army, all the soldiers would be ready to fight. The direction that the flag was pointing towards was the direction that the army was about to attack.

It was a pity that these Zhuoxian soldiers were all newly recruited soldiers, and most of them did not manage to understand what the flags meant. Only under the urging of the generals of all sizes did the timid soldiers hastily set up the formation, their legs already trembling.

"Look …"

It was unknown which soldier with the keenest ears could feel the faint sound of thunder coming from the ground, or which warrior with the sharpest eyes could see the black shadow emerging from the horizon. Several people let out a terrified scream at the same time. Following the direction of their finger, someone drew a long black line in the direction where the sun had set.

Everyone, whether it was the xanthopanax or the Zhuoxian soldiers, opened their eyes wide as they stared at the black line nervously. Gradually, the black streak became thicker and thicker, as if it were a black embroidered edge of the vast earth. It seemed more like a rolling black ocean wave, sweeping towards their direction.

The Bullhorn on both sides stopped, no one ordered them to do so. The soldiers of both sides could not understand where the black storm was coming from. It was unknown whether it was a heavenly soldier from the heavens or a ghost from hell.

The ground was trembling, the trees were trembling, the clouds were trembling, the sky was trembling, even the air was trembling.

"Oh my god …" It's the cavalry! "

Almost at the same time, the soldiers on both sides blurted out. At this time, everyone could feel the ground trembling. They could see the magnificent sight of ten thousand horses galloping. Everyone began to tremble, xanthopanax was so afraid that he started to tremble, while Zhuoxian officers and soldiers was so excited that he started to tremble.

"Our cavalry is coming."

Yang Lei laughed with his mouth wide open. He laughed so happily. It was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. All this while, he had always regarded Yang Lin as his own son and was proud of him. It was as if he was immersed in it, and even his own blood began to boil with it.

"Yes, our cavalry is coming."

He Xiong and Cang Jie also laughed, it was a kind of smile that came from the bottom of their hearts. They knew that Yang Lin would definitely come, and that he would definitely come while stepping on a myriad of huge waves. He came with awe-inspiring might, and with his overwhelming lightning might, he caused any enemy to tremble in fear, making everyone submit beneath his feet.

"Oh my god, where did all these cavalrymen come from?"

Cheng Yuanzhi was also intimidated by the gigantic cavalry army and mumbled to himself. It was not a thousand or two thousand, nor was it ten thousand or twenty thousand. Instead, it was a sea of cavalry that blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Behind them, the dust raised by the warhorse covered the sun.

The sabers pointed at the sky, and even the clouds in the sky changed color. In an instant, the sky turned even darker, and a shadow loomed over everyone's hearts. Their breathing started to quicken, and their pupils started to become confused, as their hearts began to contract.

"Retreat, hurry and retreat."

Finally, Cheng Yuanzhi came to his senses. Such a powerful cavalry army, no matter what he did, he could not resist them. In this open field, as long as there were a thousand cavalrymen spread out, they would be able to scatter the tens of thousands of troops.

In fact, before he gave the order, many of the xanthopanax soldiers had already started to escape, they had already mentally collapsed. The xanthopanax s that had not run yet, upon hearing the order to retreat, immediately started to flee. He had lost his spear, his broadsword, and even his shoes. He only wished that his parents were still alive and running without a care in the world.

"Kill …"

Yang Lei also woke up from the shock, wasn't this the perfect time to wait? Seeing that the xanthopanax was defeated without even fighting, how could he let go of such an opportunity? Pointing the spear in his hands forward, he suddenly grabbed the horse belly and rushed forward first.

In fact, even the Zhuoxian soldiers were stunned. Although they knew that Yang Lin had more than 20,000 cavalry, the number in front of him was only 100,000! Could this be the Heavenly Soldier that Yang Lin borrowed? When they saw Yang Lei rushing out, they shouted loudly as they followed him.

"Kill …"

The battle became a race, and not a single person in xanthopanax resisted. The mounted General of the Yellow Scarf Army s had long since disappeared, and those who were running slowly were undoubtedly captured, while those who ran fast were like startled rabbits, not daring to turn their heads back.

However, no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't outrun the horse. "Da Da Da" sounds of the horses kept following them from behind, as if they could step onto them at any time, causing them to not even have the chance to breathe. One of the xanthopanax soldier could not even run anymore and could not help but to turn his head to look.

"Ghost …"

They were all ghosts, devils from hell. They all had fierce faces, bared fangs, and brandished claws; they were not riding on horses, but riding on a bamboo pole, and were all floating in the air.

"Ghost …"

Not only was the xanthopanax shocked, even the Zhuoxian officers and soldiers were shocked. They were chasing after the xanthopanax and were extremely happy to see their Cavalry coming over, so they wanted to turn around and greet him.

That was not a big deal, all the xanthopanax s who turned around almost fainted because of fright, and became as good as carrying slaves. When the faster xanthopanax saw these Ghost Cavalry from afar, they were already scared out of their wits. They didn't even dare to breathe, and kept running forward.

As the saying goes, defeat is like a landslide. There was nothing wrong with that. The five thousand xanthopanax s who were left behind by Cheng Yuanzhi to defend the city saw the Ghost Cavalry s that were spread all over the mountains and plains from afar, and were completely terrified. They were scared out of their wits, and didn't dare to defend the city anymore. Others were so frightened that they kneeled on the ground and kowtowed while mumbling.

Originally, Cheng Yuanzhi had even wanted to escape to the Guangyang City, but who knew that before he could even run to the Guangyang City, those Ghost Cavalry s would already be there for him before him. As for the five thousand xanthopanax s who remained to defend the city, they had long abandoned the city and fled.

"Lord General, let's just run. Guangyang has already been lost, we can go to fishing yang to gather our men, and then we can rise again."

Cheng Yuanzhi's few generals had already ran over. Although the large group of people had already escaped, the few generals and their personal guards were still together with them, adding up to a few thousand people. Seeing that Cheng Yuanzhi was still hesitating, Deng Mao immediately went forward to persuade him. He really did not want to see those Ghost Cavalry s again.

"Send my order, gather at fishing yang."

Yang Lei, He Xiong and Cang Jie were extremely busy, their only mission was to catch the captives, like catching chickens, they chased after the veterans of xanthopanax. Suddenly, they saw a few Ghost Cavalry galloping over, scaring the Zhuoxian officers and soldiers beside them to the point that they were trembling in fear.

"The Lord Commander has an order to order Yang Lei to bring over five thousand soldiers to the city to collect the looted property, in order to maintain security in the Guangyang City. Others are stationed outside the city to take in the prisoners, and are not allowed to disturb the people. "

After sending the orders to the Ghost Cavalry s, they once again rode their horses and left. From beginning to end, Yang Lei and the others did not say a word. They also knew that this was Yang Lin's cavalry army, but they didn't know why they had become like this. A soldier that was beside them asked Yang Lei as he looked at the distant Ghost Cavalry in fear.

"Large... Master, are they ghosts or humans? "

"What nonsense are you talking about, those are Divine Soldiers and Divine Generals."

Even Cheng Yuanzhi didn't expect that the Ghost Cavalry s would stop after merely chasing after the Guangyang City. They just held their swords high up in the air, riding on their horses and screaming at ghosts, running back and forth outside the Guangyang City, circling the Guangyang City three times. Under the lead of a long spear, those Ghost Cavalry were just like how they came here, gradually getting further and further away, finally disappearing from the horizon.
