Chapter 325 Awe-inspiring in the Northwest, Overpowering the Qiang Cavalry
"Aww!"
When it comes to charging, Da Hu is even faster.
Before Yuwen Chenglong had even run halfway, Da Hu nimbly weaved through the rain of arrows and rushed to Lü Xiao's location in the blink of an eye.
With a sudden pounce, the tiger leaped up, its front paws outstretched, and knocked a guard soldier to the ground.
With its gaping maw aimed at the opponent's head, it swallowed the entire thing whole without hesitation.
With a crack, the sound of bones breaking was clearly audible, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Hidden!"
The soldiers guarding the city saw the tiger bite off their comrade's head.
They were all so shocked that their mouths were agape, their eyes almost popping out, as they slowly backed away.
Several of the more timid ones collapsed to the ground, their crotches soaked.
"Aww!"
Big Tiger spat out the head from his mouth, scattering blood and bits of flesh all over the ground, and attacked another enemy.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the enemy soldier's head exploded.
Red and white substances were splattered all over the ground, and the surrounding soldiers were so frightened that they scrambled backward as if they wished they had two more legs.
In terms of fear, Lü Xiao is second, while Da Hu is first.
After all, in the common people's perception, ferocious beasts are the most ferocious and the most frightening.
No matter how powerful Lü Xiao is, he is still human. Humans have weaknesses and can be defeated.
But tigers are different; they possess an innate sense of power and are at the top of the food chain.
Herod!
Just then, the Red Hare arrived in the city and let out a long neigh, which made the surrounding warhorses tremble and dare not move.
Lu Xiao grabbed the saddle, mustered his strength, and with a somersault, landed steadily on the horse's back.
The movements were crisp and clean, without the slightest hesitation.
With the halberd Wutian in hand, its blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
One man and one tiger roamed the entire city as if it were their own territory.
All that could be seen was a single halberd and a single claw; none could stop him, and none dared to.
The halberd fell, leaving behind a corpse.
When the tiger's claws lashed out, a chorus of howls erupted.
Some of the soldiers guarding the city were knocked away by Lü Xiao, while others were pounced on by Da Hu.
Some knelt down and begged for mercy, while others ran away with their heads in their hands; it was complete chaos.
"So this is the prince when he goes mad."
Yuwen Chenglong led his men into the city, but they were a beat too late. What they saw was a field of corpses.
Scattered haphazardly, blood flowed like a river.
He shook his head and sighed. This battle had nothing to do with him anymore.
"Now this is what war is all about."
The Sui generals here, like those in Jiangdu, were fully aware of Lü Xiao's formidable strength.
They finally understood what it meant to stand back and watch, and then enjoy a great victory.
They didn't even lift a finger; at most, they just stood around and gave the prince some encouragement.
As a result, the enemy was either scared away or knelt down and begged for mercy, without even putting up any decent resistance.
This battle is too easy to win, isn't it?
"Your Highness, Li Gui's reinforcements are outside the city."
Despite his injuries and limping gait, Pei Yuanqing continued to act as a messenger.
"understood."
Upon hearing this, Lü Xiao turned his horse around and led Da Hu out of the city to attack.
The city was left to Yuwen Chenglong. With his intimidating power to charge left and right, the enemy's morale had already collapsed, and all that remained was to clean up the mess.
If Yuwen Chenglong can't even handle this, then he's no different from the good-for-nothing he himself described.
Let's stop calling him Little White Dragon in the Waves and start calling him Little White Worm in the Waves.
The moment they rushed out of the city, they saw a cavalry force appear in front of them, a dark mass of at least ten thousand men.
These people did not appear to be soldiers from the Central Plains, and their hair was styled in various ways.
Wearing leather armor, a felt hat, and a scimitar at his waist, he looked more like a foreigner, a barbarian.
"An enemy?"
The generals who came to support Xiping saw Lü Xiao standing alone in the wilderness, a man, a horse, and a tiger, and couldn't help but become suspicious.
He looked at the roads on both sides; they were empty, not a soul in sight.
There seemed to be nowhere to hide an ambush; there was no possibility of an ambush.
It's all just bluffing, definitely bluffing.
How dare one person block his soldiers? Isn't that courting death?
"Charge! Kill!"
Immediately, he gave orders to those around him, drew his scimitar, pointed it at Lü Xiao, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
In an instant, the cavalry charged forward.
While charging, they did not forget to draw their bows and nock their arrows, raining down arrows in an attempt to kill Lü Xiao.
Hundreds of arrows rained down from the sky, blotting out the sun, and carrying a sharp whistling sound as they pierced the air.
"drive!"
Lu Xiao lightly spurred his horse's flanks, and the Red Hare neighed as it charged toward the enemy at an astonishing speed.
The halberd was wielded with incredible skill, its blade drawing arcs in the air and deflecting incoming arrows.
The clanging sound was like the sound of blacksmithing.
Even if an arrow hits the armor, it will at most bounce off, leaving no mark at all.
A red brocade robe adorned with a hundred flowers, impervious to water and fire.
Beast-faced, chainmail armor, impervious to swords and spears.
At this moment, the armor's properties were being fully utilized, making Lü Xiao virtually invincible.
Even the neighing Red Hare was armed up to its eyes, with iron armor covering its face.
The eyes are covered by a fine mesh, which easily blocks enemy arrows, preventing them from hitting the eyes.
Bang bang bang!
Charging into the enemy ranks, the swift Red Hare unleashed its full power.
Whether it was enemy warhorses or men, they were all sent flying by its impact.
The sounds of bones shattering echoed throughout the room, accompanied by incessant screams.
"What a fine Sui general!"
One of the cavalry generals was shocked by Lü Xiao's extraordinary bravery and broke out in a cold sweat.
If they don't kill Lü Xiao, this one man alone can break through their army's formation, and then their army will collapse like a house of cards, and no one can stop them.
He immediately grabbed his broadsword, spurred his horse forward, and charged at Lü Xiao with all his might.
With a loud crack, the broadsword struck Lü Xiao squarely in the back.
However, the general's eyes widened.
Although his blade struck, Lü Xiao was not injured in the slightest.
There wasn't a single mark on his armor, and he didn't even sway; he remained firmly seated on his horse.
"Um?"
Lu Xiao felt something touch his back. Who tickled him?
He turned his head and glanced at the general with a blank expression.
"kill!"
The general was still unconvinced and swung his sword again, using all his strength.
However, before the blade could fall, the Wufang Tianji had already struck first, swift as lightning, arriving before the enemy.
puff!
The halberd fell indiscriminately, shattering both men and horses.
The halberd blade cleaved through the general's head, cutting him and his horse in two.
Blood and internal organs gushed out all over the ground, a horrifying sight.
"The vanguard... is dead!"
The remaining cavalrymen were already afraid of Lü Xiao's bravery, and they were terrified when he single-handedly broke through their formation.
With this single halberd strike, they killed their vanguard general, splitting him and his horse in two—something no human could possibly do.
