Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 354 - 352
Chapter 354: Chapter 352
Therefore, for safety, he chose a relatively safe position.
Not only that, the Silver Armor he wore could also effectively mitigate the damage from the opponent’s arrows.
If the enemy were to sneak attack him with an arrow during this gap, the Silver Armor would at least assure that he wouldn’t have to worry about his life.
At this moment, just as the two sides confronted each other.
The third beat of the war drum finally sounded.
The meaning represented by this war drum goes without saying,
That is, the curtain of the entire trial has been drawn.
And with the sound of this war drum, those nomads swung their scimitars, howling and ready to charge forward.
The horses seemed to feel the aura emanating from the soldiers.
To the extent that the horses were pacing restlessly in place, just waiting for the command from the two leaders in front to charge into the battlefield with the soldiers, and hunt down the lambs ready for slaughter.
Those lambs ready for slaughter surprisingly didn’t even have horses prepared, do they really think they can resist their cavalry by infantry?
Haha, that truly is a fool’s dream.
Since it had come to this extent, despite any doubts, they had no choice but to steel themselves and charge. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Moreover, at this moment, Agusi had also come to his senses, in his view, no matter how cunning the opponent was, it couldn’t compare to the scimitar in their hands.
As long as their warriors were brave enough, there would be no room for resistance.
Thus, following the sound of this war drum, he instantly drew the scimitar from his waist and lifted it over his head.
Facing forward, he swung it down forcefully, and immediately shouted loudly:
"Warriors of the Grassland! It’s time to show what you’ve got, let’s charge and show these people our strength!"
With this loud shout, and with the heavy fall of the scimitar, 1000 cavalry charged out behind him.
The 1000 cavalry, fast as lightning, directly slammed into You Country’s positions.
In their hands, scimitars also raised over their heads, one hand continuously waving, and even on these swiftly moving horses, these men were able to ride without touching the horse reins with both hands.
Such horse riding skills, looking throughout You Country, there are definitely very few people who could do this.
If anything, only those top generals might have such ability.
But it was not so with the soldiers below.
To be able to sit steadily on such a fast-moving horse was already quite a feat.
Let alone having both hands off the reins?
Considering that modern horses don’t have horseshoes and stirrups, they rely solely on bodily coordination and tightly clamping the horse’s belly with their legs to remain steady on horseback.
And the reason the opponent could do this is entirely because they grew up on horsebacks since young.
This was why these Grassland cavalry possessed strong combat capabilities.
It is no exaggeration to say, even if two cavalry forces were pitted against each other, Grassland cavalry could definitely take on two or even three opponents.
The trial today was also taken lightly by them, thus they didn’t plan to use arrows.
Otherwise, at this distance, if the opponent could let go of the reins, under such circumstances, just draw the bow and deliver a volley of arrows to Lin Yi’s side, then even if Lin Yi’s side used Firearms, there would definitely be significant casualties.
But the strange thing was that they weren’t prepared for this, and they underestimated Lin Yi’s side too much.
Especially seeing that the opponent didn’t even prepare not to mention bows, even cavalry horses, this made those nomads even more lax.
Even though Sun Heng noticed something was off, the others didn’t take it seriously.
Though it spoke at a later time, it was fast in action, the two units were not far apart, and in the blink of an eye, these nomads had already advanced more than a hundred steps.
Seeing those nomads getting closer, Lin Yi’s side had everyone’s nerves tightly wound.
It had been said before, whether it was Lin Yi or these refugees, facing such a scene was truly a first in history.
Especially for Lin Yi, a person from later eras, in the peaceful times of the future, it would be impossible to encounter such a situation.
But having lived in this ancient society for a while, he deeply understood that one must be ruthless in this era.
Without a ferocious heart, the next moment might see one’s demise.
Especially at this moment, his shoulders bore not just one person; he was shouldering the entire empire of the young Emperor.
If he fell, if he were killed by the opponent today, then it can be imagined that the young Emperor would certainly not have good days ahead.
Even his imperial position might be overturned, or rather, the whole You Country could be trampled by those barbarians from the Grassland.
Once this happened, the consequences were something he absolutely could not allow to happen, especially since besides the young Emperor, behind him were Ying Yi, Empress, and other beloved women like Xiao Xiao.
Even for them, he would stand up unyieldingly to resist everything in front.
Watching the nomadic cavalry that had already charged to about 500 steps away, Lin Yi also raised the red Order Flag in his hand high.
And this red Order Flag represented the first squad to open fire.
With his Order Flag raised, soldiers of the Nanshan Guards also nervously placed their fingers on the triggers.
steps, 400 steps, 300 steps.
Due to the opponent’s fast-moving horses, in just a blink of an eye, they had already come within 300 steps.
The effective range of their Firearms was actually not very far, beyond a hundred steps, they almost had no lethality.
After all, the opponent was wearing Armor, and with their high-speed movement, the probability of hitting was also not high.
Therefore, if it exceeded a hundred steps, this round of shooting might not cause much damage to the opponent.
As the sound of the nomads’ cavalry hooves hammered on the ground, the young Emperor standing on the city wall also had his heart lifted to his throat.
While no one noticed the Emperor’s expression, the young Emperor spoke to Ying Yi next to him:
"Whatever it takes, ensure his safety."
As the young Emperor’s words fell, Ying Yi’s feet lightly touched the ground, and then his entire figure silently drifted downwards.
However, just as the opponent came within about 250 steps, Lin Yi directly swung the Order Flag in his hand down fiercely.
