Chapter 212: Cavalry and Infantry
The cavalry units of both sides violently collided.
That instantaneous impact was enough to make one’s heart stop.
The clash of weapons and the splash of blood dyed the dawn with a chilling, murderous intent!
“Kill!!!”
With a furious roar, Luo Yong, wielding his double-bladed battle axe, had a hint of bloodlust in his eyes.
After wildly swinging his double-bladed battle axe and successively cutting down two grasslanders, he immediately spurred his horse and charged towards Burigude!
Sensing Luo Yong’s threat, Burigude controlled his warhorse for a fierce charge.
He then decisively seized the initiative, quickly thrusting his bone spear towards Luo Yong.
Their weapons instantly clashed.
Burigude’s timing was precise, and he managed to strike just as the double-bladed battle axe was halfway through its swing.
He used his bone spear to press directly on that point.
At the same time, he began continuously applying force, completely in a stance as if he wanted to overwhelm his opponent in one go using this opportunity!
However, the opponent didn’t budge!
Luo Yong, swinging his double-bladed battle axe with one arm, revealed a sneer on his face.
How long had it been since anyone dared to compete with him in strength?
“What? Is that all you’ve got?”
Listening to these provocative words, Burigude’s expression turned grim.
His force continued to increase.
On his tightly gripping arms, bulging muscles continuously unleashed his strength.
“Die!”
“You should only say such nonsense when you’re dreaming!”
The accumulated anger of two months, mixed with tyrannical killing intent, completely erupted at this moment.
At this time, Luo Yong was just like a roaring ancient ferocious beast, unreservedly baring his savage fangs at his prey.
“Die!!”
Using their weapons as a medium, two forces violently collided.
After a brief stalemate, Luo Yong easily gained the upper hand with an overwhelming advantage.
This completely unexpected situation caused a poorly concealed look of shock to appear on Burigude’s face.
“No, this is impossible!!”
On his forehead, veins violently bulged.
He was still trying to struggle, but the terrifying force continuously pressing down was slowly crushing his confidence!
Glancing at the battle situation, Bai Ze, who was currently leading a team of cavalry repeatedly charging through the enemy lines, showed a hint of complexity in his eyes.
Burigude himself was very strong, but he had chosen the wrong opponent, or rather, the wrong fighting style.
Perhaps any other fierce general using a heavy weapon would have self-destructed under his precise strike, unable to withstand the force from their own weapon combined with the continuous pressure from the opponent.
But Luo Yong was an exception.
This guy wasn’t simply strong, he was excessively strong.
To put it bluntly, he was a monster.
If you, a single person, were to compete in strength or arm-wrestle with a monster, wouldn’t that be seeking death?
At this moment, Burigude clearly felt death continuously closing in on him.
In this instant of life or death, he unhesitatingly admitted his defeat.
In a strength contest, he could not possibly be the opponent of this humanoid monster before him.
He decisively withdrew his move.
The warhorse beneath him was a good companion he had raised since childhood.
The two could be said to have perfect tacit understanding.
As he withdrew his move, his good companion simultaneously made a retreating motion, directly evading Luo Yong’s terrifying blow that carried immense force!
Luo Yong, whose axe swung through empty air, showed a trace of displeasure in his eyes.
“Trying to run already?!”
Burigude’s facial muscles twitched at these words, but he couldn’t deny it.
In that round of strength comparison, he had indeed been utterly defeated!
However, strength, in the end, was only a part of one’s overall ability!
If battles were simply won by whoever was stronger, wouldn’t they just arm-wrestle directly?
“Again!”
With a roar, Burigude, having adjusted his state, spurred his horse and charged again.
This time, his fighting style clearly changed.
He directly avoided a head-on clash of strength with Luo Yong.
His bone spear continuously thrust out, and those tricky attacks made Luo Yong feel extremely uncomfortable.
At the same time, the difference in horsemanship was immediately apparent.
Burigude didn’t seem to control his horse much, the warhorse acted as if it had a telepathic connection with him, always moving to the right position, allowing Burigude to thrust his bone spear without restraint.
In contrast, Luo Yong’s situation was clearly inadequate.
He usually rode his horse quite competently, but at such a crucial moment, only he truly knew how uncooperative the warhorse beneath him was.
If he hadn’t still retained his rationality, he might have suspected that his warhorse was a spy sent by the enemy, constantly going against him!
After ten rounds, Burigude had clearly seen through Luo Yong’s weakness.
The bone spear in his hand thrust faster and faster, while the struggling Luo Yong clenched his teeth, parrying each move.
However, the wounds on his body kept increasing.
It must be said that Luo Yong’s strength indeed improved rapidly.
Several months ago, facing this kind of continuous attack that relentlessly targeted his weakness, he would have fallen into a disadvantage within ten rounds.
But now, facing this fighting style he hated the most, he could still hold his own.
Although he had several more wounds on his body, they were all minor injuries, nothing to worry about.
This clearly showed his significant progress.
However, it was still slightly lacking.
Even if his inherent strength had gradually caught up, the difference in horsemanship could not be compensated for in a short time.
This is because horsemanship not only requires long-term training but also requires prolonged time spent with one’s warhorse to cultivate tacit understanding.
In these two aspects, Luo Yong was still a bit lacking.
In other words, in this state, unless Burigude sought his own destruction, Luo Yong’s chances of winning were probably less than 30%!
However, things are unpredictable.
Just as Bai Ze was thinking this, Luo Yong, who was locked in a stalemate with Burigude in the distance, suddenly made an astonishing move.
He leaped up, not being knocked off his horse by the opponent, but instead, he himself voluntarily jumped off the horse’s back!
“Huh?!”
At this moment, let alone Burigude, who was an enemy, even Bai Ze, his ally, was stunned.
This momentary stupor almost caused him to be stabbed by an enemy’s bone spear nearby, startling him back to reality.
He quickly used his spear to unhorse the enemy who tried to ambush him.
At the same time, it was also at this moment that the battle between Luo Yong and Burigude took a new turn.
Luo Yong’s action of voluntarily jumping off his horse clearly caught Burigude by surprise.
This unexpected turn of events was so intense that it made him forget to pursue.
By the time he recovered his senses, he had already missed the best opportunity to strike.
Luo Yong had already found his footing.
At the same time, he reached behind him and immediately took out the round leather shield from his back.
He wasn’t an idiot.
He certainly knew about the height advantage of being on horseback.
But the problem was that his horsemanship was inferior to his opponent’s.
Riding a horse, he would most likely not be a match for Burigude.
So, it was better to simply get off the horse and fight this guy on solid ground!
After all, he wasn’t a cavalryman, and he was an infantryman!!
