Chapter 156: The Cavalry Chief
The extremely sharpened spearhead exuded a chilling killing intent, aimed directly at Luo Yong’s vital throat, forming a life threatening strike.
In the nick of time, Liu Zheng arrived, his battle-axe cutting through the air.
The two stone weapons instantly collided, emitting a muffled thud.
In terms of strength, while Liu Zheng was not as powerful as Luo Yong, who possessed innate divine strength, he was by no means weak.
At this moment, the force transmitted back through the spear shaft made the cavalry chief clearly realize one thing, in a contest of pure strength, he was absolutely no match for this man.
He decisively pulled his stone spear back, and then, with a flick of his single arm, launched a triple thrust directly towards Liu Zheng’s face!
It must be said that the cavalry chief’s technique was truly formidable, almost impossible to predict!
Fortunately, the one receiving the attack was Liu Zheng.
If it had been Luo Yong, who was somewhat irrational due to his rage, he would have undoubtedly been struck, perhaps even fatally!
Taking two steps back, Liu Zheng subtly turned defense into offense, showcasing his veteran experience.
As he neutralized the triple thrust, Liu Zheng loudly exclaimed.
“Luo Yong, calm down!”
“This guy is not easy to deal with!”
Hearing this, Luo Yong gritted his teeth.
He had clearly felt this during their previous exchange.
This uncomfortable feeling was vaguely familiar, yet he couldn’t quite remember who it reminded him of.
At this moment, Luo Yong didn’t act on impulse.
After adjusting his state, he decisively joined forces with Liu Zheng to launch a pincer attack!
Unexpectedly, the cavalry chief’s strength was surprisingly formidable.
His fighting style was the complete opposite of Luo Yong’s wide, sweeping attacks.
With a stone spear in hand, he could perform incredibly tricky maneuvers.
His attacks were fast, fierce, and incredibly tricky.
No one could tell what kind of attack this guy would launch next, making him an incredibly difficult opponent to guard against!
Fighting two opponents, they exchanged blows for a full ten rounds, yet still failed to suppress the cavalry chief on horseback.
It was undeniable that this opponent was truly strong, precisely targeting their weaknesses.
After all, the height advantage was there, from that perspective, any minor flaw could be magnified several times over.
Every strike from the stone spear in his hand made both men feel incredibly uncomfortable.
During this period, Luo Yong had the hardest time.
After all, Guo Zhen had mentioned before that he relied too much on his strength, and technique was his weak point.
Wide, sweeping attacks were unstoppable on a charging battlefield, but once he encountered a skilled opponent of equal, or even superior, strength, it became incredibly difficult.
After another five rounds, seizing an opening, the cavalry chief’s offensive suddenly exploded.
The seemingly ordinary stone spear in his hand seemed to transform into a rampaging, roaring beast.
In the blink of an eye, it directly pierced Luo Yong’s shoulder!
This strike came incredibly fast.
Wielding his heavy double-bladed battle-axe, Luo Yong was powerless to parry.
But it wasn’t over yet.
The cavalry chief continued his movement, suddenly exerting force with both arms.
A two-stage burst directly caused a crimson flower of blood to blossom on Luo Yong’s shoulder!
“Luo Yong!”
Seeing this, Liu Zheng’s face on the other side suddenly changed. He unleashed a sweeping powerful strike directly at the cavalry chief on horseback.
After over a dozen rounds of combat, the cavalry chief had long clearly felt that Liu Zheng, who used a battle-axe, was much harder to deal with than Luo Yong.
How could he not be on guard against such a move?
With a quick glance, the moment he saw the battle-axe’s attack, he quickly squeezed his legs against the horse’s belly, then performed an exaggerated backward lean, causing Liu Zheng’s attack to miss.
Rising instantly, the cavalry chief smoothly pulled the stone spear out of Luo Yong’s shoulder.
At the same time, he shook both arms, striking Liu Zheng’s battle-axe with his spear, forcing his weapon open.
Then, seizing a momentary gap, he pulled on his rein.
Accompanied by a long whine from the horse, he escaped on the spot!
“Luo Yong, how are you?”
Looking at Luo Yong’s shoulder, completely soaked in blood, Liu Zheng’s pupils constricted.
The cavalry chief’s strike was far more powerful than he had imagined.
Even with the leather armor’s defense, Luo Yong was injured to such an extent.
At the same time, Luo Ji, standing on the high ground, saw the cavalry trying to escape and quickly ordered the archer unit to unleash two more volleys.
However, he also felt a bit helpless.
The enemy cavalry was indeed not mature enough, in his eyes, they were even primitive.
But their advantage of lightning fast mobility had already begun to show.
With no time to deal with them, after symbolically firing two volleys, Luo Ji quickly ordered everyone to carry the wounded into the Iron Wall Tribe. He also shouted.
“Where is the medical department?!”
“Quickly prepare the herbs for treating wounds!”
“Zhou Tao, clear out a few tents for the wounded!”
Luo Ji’s mood was somewhat sour, all thanks to the sudden appearance of that cavalry unit.
He had seen Zhang Yisheng escape with his remaining battered forces, but at that moment, his entire army was under threat from the cavalry charge and was powerless to stop them.
“Where’s Zhao Pan?”
Hearing Luo Ji’s summons, Zhao Pan, who was assisting in transporting the wounded, quickly ran over, then spoke with a look of shame.
“Your subordinate is incompetent. Please punish me, Chief!”
“We’ll discuss this later. Go count our casualties and report them to me. Also, tell the construction team to speed up the repairs on the city gate!”
“Yes, sir!”
With that, Luo Ji quickly walked towards the Iron Wall Tribe’s medical department.
Considering the Iron Wall Tribe’s special location, he had intentionally dispatched several extra medical department members to be permanently stationed there when arranging personnel.
However, such widespread casualties still left the entire medical department swamped.
“Chief (Leader)!”
Seeing Luo Ji approach, Luo Yong and Guo Zhen, who were sitting and having their wounds bandaged, simultaneously stood up.
Luo Ji raised a hand, then turned to the medical department members who were treating their wounds.
After confirming the severity of their injuries, he finally let out a sigh of relief, then said to the two.
“For the next month, until your wounds fully heal, stay here and rest properly.”
“You don’t need to worry about anything else.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yong, who had been sitting obediently just moments before, suddenly became anxious.
He was still hoping to avenge himself against that cavalry chief.
“No, no, Chief! It’s just a minor injury. It’ll heal in a few days. It doesn’t need that long…”
“Minor injury?”
Luo Ji glanced at the wound on Luo Yong’s shoulder.
That spear thrust had practically opened a hole in his shoulder, and the wound looked truly horrifying.
Could this still be called a minor injury?
“You’ll rest quietly!”
“I’ll have Zhao Pan watch over you!”
Luo Ji’s tone carried an undeniable authority, making Luo Yong’s face instantly soured.
And the person tasked with watching him was actually Zhao Pan!
Zhao Pan was someone who, once given a command by the Chief, would absolutely not show him any leniency.
It was already predictable how closely he would be monitored for the next month.
This life was simply unbearable…
