Chapter 843: Charging Alone into Enemy Lines
This time, a large-scale enemy flanking harassment mission was triggered, granting double rewards for any kills near the enemy camp that day. But to Kai Xin’s surprise, it attracted tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry at once.
As expected!
With such a great opportunity came proportionally greater danger. To earn double combat merits among tens of thousands of soldiers, one had to face a far more perilous situation than usual.
The 1,200 cavalry were no longer a reliable force—they couldn’t turn the tide! In fact, their inability to conceal their presence might even lead to their own deaths.
At such a moment, Kai Xin naturally wouldn’t hold back at all. The 1,200 cavalry could be sacrificed, but the more than 20,000 troops behind them must not suffer heavy losses; otherwise, they would have nowhere to go on the grasslands.
After charging into enemy lines, Kai Xin’s first move wasn’t to charge headlong but to unleash the brilliance of his Feilong Sword at the fastest speed…
The sword’s sharp light swept across the ground like a full moon! The agile warhorses had their legs severed instantly, and cries of pain echoed as groups of horses collapsed. Dozens or even hundreds of Mongol cavalry fell, both men and horses.
The suffering horses on the ground quickly became obstacles, blocking the path for the advancing Mongol cavalry! Only a few cavalry managed to break through the gaps, drawing bows to shoot, while those who fell from their horses drew deadly axes…
Faced with attacks coming from all directions, Kai Xin remained calm. While dodging, he stuffed Xiao Huan Dan into his mouth to activate Dou Zuan Xing Yi.
Puh! Puh!!!
Arrows and axes chased after Kai Xin’s figure but soon converged and flew together toward the Mongol cavalry.
Instead of harvesting combat merits, Kai Xin continued to attack more horses, turning more Mongol cavalry into infantry.
Boom! Boom!!!
The Mongol cavalry didn’t stop completely due to Kai Xin’s disruption; many of them still targeted the over 1,000 Central Plains cavalry on the hillside, bypassing the chaotic front lines and charging toward the hill with thundering hooves.
At that moment…
More than 20,000 skilled warriors from the Central Plains appeared outside the battlefield, surging behind Kai Xin like a tide to attack the Mongol cavalry with astonishing momentum!
This sight shocked the Mongol cavalry slightly. The troops behind them circled around from the other side, preparing to launch another charge!
Meanwhile, the number of cavalry charging up the hill decreased slightly. With over a thousand on one side and enemies everywhere else, any sensible commander of the Mongol cavalry would know where to focus their attacks.
Seeing this, Yin Hu didn’t hesitate any longer:
“Charge!!!!”
At the command, thousands of regular cavalry set off.
The sound of hooves thundered, and dust billowed into the air!
Amidst the fierce momentum, the thousands of cavalry seemed on the verge of being split into two battlefields—one where Silver Fox and Crane Eleven led their forces in a charge, and another where over twenty thousand martial artists from the Central Plains fought against nearly ten thousand Mongol cavalry!
Kai Xin believed that with Silver Fox’s leadership and skills, it wouldn’t be hard to gain the upper hand. Yet, once those nearly ten thousand Mongol cavalry deployed fully, even twenty thousand martial experts would struggle to hold their ground.
Keep charging!
Gritting his teeth, Kai Xin ignored the hundreds of Mongol warriors chasing him, breaking through their encirclement without hesitation and charging headlong at the Mongol cavalry advancing on the right flank.
At that moment, if a group of soldiers tried to intercept them, they would surely suffer the most brutal attacks from the Mongol cavalry…
But there was nothing to be done.
Kai Xin had no weapons or horse—just himself mixed among the enemy forces. His vulnerabilities were completely exposed as he was surrounded by Mongol warriors.
In group combat, they were fierce and invincible!
But when facing a small target, it was like using a cannon to shoot mosquitoes—useless.
They just couldn’t hit him.
Despite the Mongol cavalry’s excellent coordination and quick reactions, Kai Xin would slip through gaps swiftly. When surrounded by a few warriors, he’d dart beneath their horses, even cutting off their legs as he left.
If cornered, he would simply charge through their attacks—no few Mongol warriors could stop him.
Through such maneuvers, Kai Xin never allowed the Mongol cavalry to encircle him directly. He kept advancing, dodging, and causing chaos among them, moving so nimbly that it gave others chills. Almost none of the enemy horses remained intact where he passed.
The Mongol cavalry dismounted were even worse—chasing after him with furious roars in groups, but their slow speed meant they couldn’t catch up.
In frustration, some Mongol warriors threw axes, but most of them hit their own men, further fueling the chaos.
…
Boom!!
In the distance! The ground trembled!
The two armies were about to collide!
But on the Mongol cavalry side, Kai Xin’s problems remained unresolved, and the chaos continued to spread.
The subsequent reinforcements of the Mongol cavalry were forcibly cut off by Kai Xin alone, accounting for nearly half of them, forcing the remaining Mongol cavalry to take detours, thus stretching out their line. While this delayed the opportunity for battle, a force of no more than five hundred cavalry members stood out excessively, with very few troops following behind, seemingly on the verge of breaking off entirely. Seeing this, Lei Zhan, who was leading the army, did not dare delay and shouted orders from atop his horse to launch a fierce attack! “Attack with all your might!” “Show us what you’ve got!” Without hesitation, the wave of martial artists behind him drew their bows and shot arrows. Although few of the arrows managed to kill the Mongol cavalry, they did briefly disrupt their advance. The distance between the two sides shrank rapidly… Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!! In groups, the martial artists dismounted from their horses and rushed toward the disorganized Mongol cavalry like the wind. “Kill!!!” A deafening roar erupted from the crowd. At the forefront were the finest fighters from the four major factions: Lei Zhan, Xiao Bei, Mo Mo, Bao Long, Dao Zi, Feng Zhi, Gu Feng, Lei Zi, Tiao Zi, Feng Wu Cai Yi, Yu Cha Zhe, Xu Pang Da Shen, Bu Shua Liu Mang, Yi Tong, along with many other skilled fighters from the Mu family, whose strength was no less than theirs. Mo Feng, Hong Chen, and Lin Xiao from the Xie Yi Men led a group of its elite fighters. Then there were Ye Yu Su Feng and a group of gang leaders from the Feng Yu Meng, along with elite fighters like Mei Ying from Xi Feng Lou and Wu Kuo. Such a lineup could already be considered an ultra-luxurious team in the Central Plains martial world. Faced with the Mongol cavalry’s axes and arrows, they didn’t even try to dodge them, instead slicing through them with decisive strokes as they charged recklessly into the ranks of the Mongol cavalry. Boom!!! “Kill!” With a fierce roar, several Mongol cavalrymen, along with their horses, were split in two by Bao Long, who led the charge, his silver sword flashing with dazzling light. “Amazing!” Hong Chen’s eyes lit up as he cheered in praise, rushing into the enemy ranks without hesitation. His sword-stick, about ten feet long, pierced countless bloody holes through the bodies of over a dozen Mongol cavalrymen and horses ahead of him…
