Qingcheng Mountain.
Liu Sandao has gathered the elite of the mountain bandits, preparing to take down Li Chang'an in one fell swoop.
He licked his lips excitedly, his eyes revealing a cruel and bloodthirsty glint!
They mustered 1,500 cavalry and 1,500 infantry.
According to their intelligence, the enemy consisted of a thousand green recruits.
How could we lose this battle?
The advantage is mine!
Liu Sandao was filled with righteous indignation as he faced the three thousand bandits before him!
"Brothers, today we shall march into Yinping County with me!"
"As long as you can wipe out the Tang King's troops, you can plunder the county town at will!"
"Money and women, whoever grabs them, keeps them!"
Upon hearing these words, the three thousand bandits were immediately filled with righteous indignation!
They had rarely encountered such rampant killing and looting!
Needless to say, this operation must have been approved by the gods of Qingyang Palace!
Then, Liu Sandao ordered, "The cavalry will go first and slaughter Li Chang'an's personal guards!"
"Infantrymen, if you run too slowly, you won't get any benefits!"
The 1,500 cavalrymen were just low-ranking military officers or strong men on horseback; they had never received any cavalry training.
But inspired by the bandit leader, their enthusiasm soared!
The deafening roar almost overturned the mountain!
"Robbery!"
"Grab the grain!"
"Stealing women!"
Immediately afterwards, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves filled the air!
Fifteen hundred mounted bandits galloped down from the mountains and forests!
Fifteen hundred infantrymen raced each other frantically, as if afraid they wouldn't even get a sip of soup!
An hour later, the bright moon hung high in the night sky.
Dust billowed at the foot of the mountain as 1,500 horses galloped at breakneck speed!
The horses galloped down the mountain, leaving the 1,500 infantrymen far behind.
Among the trees on both sides, soldiers in blue armor stood ready for battle.
He forcefully pressed down the crossbow in his hand.
The prince has ordered that the White Feather Soldiers only snipe and kill infantry!
Liu Sandao led his cavalry down Qingcheng Mountain and waded across the river at the shallows of Yanziji.
Familiar roads, familiar smells, and soon, a familiar victory!
However, the situation was different after crossing Yanziji this time.
A large group of figures could be faintly seen on the road ahead!
The moonlight was dim, and Liu Sandao almost thought he was seeing things!
Moonlight bathed the ground, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the night wind!
The blades of the long swords gleamed coldly in the moonlight!
Upon seeing the enemy's formation, Liu Sandao burst into laughter!
"I laugh at Li Chang'an; he truly knows nothing about military affairs!"
"Since they are prepared, why not attack them halfway across the river at Yanziji!"
"There are only a mere thousand men, and they're using infantry to block the cavalry!"
"That's practically courting death!"
Upon hearing Liu Sandao's roar, a thunderous roar erupted from the Mo Dao team!
"Under the long-handled sword!"
"Both men and horses were annihilated!"
"The Tang Emperor's Mo Dao Army is here!"
"Not a single bandit may pass!"
The roar was so powerful it shook the heavens and reverberated for miles around!
Chapter 184 The Duke and Marquis of Qingcheng Mountain Dismount? What does that have to do with me! (33)
Yongzhou, on the banks of the Chuanjiang River, Yanziji.
The towering giant Liu Sandao suddenly felt inexplicably panicked.
That commotion on the other side, no new recruit could possibly make that!
However, the bandits behind Liu Sandao were all eager to fight.
Under the influence of numerous temptations, their murderous intent had reached its peak!
The soldiers on the Mo Dao side were equally anxious and impatient!
The well-trained Mo Dao soldiers were all holding their breath with great determination!
Under Gu Dazu, Zhang Kulong, the deputy general of the Mo Dao soldiers, was sweating profusely with anxiety!
"What's wrong with these bandits?"
"Why aren't you charging yet?!"
"My longsword is itching for a fight!"
Liu Sandao has already propelled the bandits' morale to its peak; now they must press on!
"Brothers, follow me!"
With Liu Sandao's shout, more than 1,500 horses charged forward in an instant!
"Come on!"
"Rob money! Rob food! Rob women!"
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves echoed as the bandits surged forward like a tidal wave!
In the eyes of the bandits, a cavalry charge against infantry would surely crush the enemy into a bloody pulp!
"Soldiers wielding Mo Dao, form ranks!"
At Zhang Kulong's command, a thousand Mo Dao swords simultaneously thrust upwards at an angle!
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The bandit leader, Liu Sandao, who was charging at the forefront, was like an iron tower!
He gradually realized that there was another burly man standing at the very front opposite him!
The black armor emitted a cold, sharp luster!
"Suffer to death!"
The strong and muscular Liu Sandao raised his Xuanhua axe high!
Zhang Kulong, clad in black armor, remained as immovable as a mountain!
Liu Sandao took the lead, rushing to within ten feet of Zhang Kulong, and then cleaved down with his giant axe!
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "bang" was heard!
Liu Sandao felt a sharp pain in his palm, and the space between his thumb and forefinger split open!
The twenty-pound Xuanhua axe was struck by Zhang Kulong's thirty-pound light Mo Dao and flew out of his hand!
"How can it be!"
Liu Sandao was shocked and terrified!
This dark-skinned kid actually managed to hold off the horse with his own strength!
But this is not the end!
With a gleaming light blade in his hand, Zhang Kulong sliced off the horse's head!
Then, with a swift turn of the blade, it pierced directly into Liu Sandao's lower left abdomen!
