Chapter 68
Touman: Let me see if I'm really invulnerable!
"Wind! Wind! Strong wind!"
The five hundred men behind Ying Changqing shouted in unison, their momentum as strong as that of the five thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen opposite them.
The warhorses galloped, and the two sides immediately began to fight.
At this moment, Touman, who was behind, saw that Ying Changqing dared to lead five hundred cavalrymen to force his way into his five thousand-strong camp and laughed contemptuously.
"This Third Prince of Qin is too naive. Just because he has a little strength, he thinks he's invincible?"
He knew that martial artists entering military formations would be affected by the bloodthirsty aura, preventing them from fully utilizing their strength.
It is also unable to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and every bit of internal energy consumed is a bit less.
"He's so stupid."
The deputy commander, standing next to Touman, also showed a contemptuous expression upon hearing this.
"I heard that this Third Prince of Qin is only eighteen years old."
"To have such cultivation at such a young age, one must be arrogant and ignorant of one's own limitations."
"But after today, he will understand the might of our Xiongnu warriors."
"The so-called masters are all fake. It's a pity he has no chance to regret it; he's doomed."
"Hahaha……"
Touman and the deputy commander exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
They used 5,000 elite troops to completely surround Ying Changqing's 500-man army.
at the same time.
Ying Changqing completely ignored the attack from Touman and others, wielding the Qiuli Sword and charging wildly, killing dozens of people with each strike.
With Ying Changqing's cultivation level, a full-force attack could annihilate more than half of these five thousand enemy soldiers.
However, his goal in training troops was not to massacre, so he simply swung his swords indiscriminately.
Even so, none of these Xiongnu soldiers could withstand their onslaught.
The military formation suppressed his performance and even blocked his absorption of spiritual energy, but no one could withstand a single move from his sword!
Ying Changqing is the Blood Dragon Knights' sharpest weapon; no one can stop him.
He single-handedly tore apart the entire battle formation.
His imposing presence inspired the Blood Dragon Riders, boosting their morale and making them fight with increasing ferocity, their faces beaming with excitement.
The new recruits weren't nervous even on their first mission.
Because they knew that the Xiongnu's scimitars could only leave shallow marks on light armor, and could not harm them at all.
This boosted their confidence, and they swung their spears even faster.
"What Hun cavalry? They're not that tough at all. They couldn't even break through Grandpa's defenses, haha!"
"His attack power is even weaker than Wang Er's; it's like tickling me! Kill him!"
"Bullshit, Lu Tian, stop slandering your Grandpa Wang Er! Have you forgotten how Grandpa beat you to a pulp at the martial arts arena last time!"
The Blood Dragon Riders were very relaxed at this moment, their eyes full of confidence. They looked down on the Huns and were even arguing about who had killed more enemies.
Ying Changqing nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this scene.
He knew that this battle had forged an unshakable belief in the Blood Dragon Knights.
They will certainly not be afraid when they face the Xiongnu cavalry again in the future.
Confidence is very important for a newly formed team.
The most worrying aspects are low morale and loss of confidence.
Even with immense strength, one cannot fully unleash its potential.
However, everyone must be made aware of the cruelty of the battlefield.
There must be someone in the enemy camp who can break through their defenses.
Contrary to Ying Changqing's satisfaction, Touman and his deputy in the distance could no longer smile.
They simultaneously discovered the anomaly.
"General, are Ying Changqing's five hundred men truly invulnerable to swords and spears?"
"Why didn't our knives cause them any harm at all when we cut them?"
Instead, they knocked him off his horse with a single spear thrust!
The deputy general, who had been laughing just moments before, looked at Touman in panic upon seeing the expressions on Ying Changqing's and the others' faces, and shouted incoherently.
Touman's face was gloomy, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.
He had never seen such a bizarre situation before.
I have heard of people in great countries who have mastered martial arts, and I have also seen tough guys who are invulnerable to swords and spears.
But such people are rare. As long as they gang up on each other, they can be easily killed once their strength is exhausted.
He had never seen an army of more than five hundred men that could be made invulnerable to swords and spears.
This was beyond his comprehension, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
Their numbers outnumbered Ying Changqing's tenfold, and they had laid a trap to surround them.
But why do I feel cold all over, with goosebumps on my back, as if I am the one who is trapped?
The Xiongnu cavalry noticed something amiss while fighting around Ying Changqing.
The Blood Dragon Knights' black armor was now stained with blood, truly living up to their name.
But all this blood belongs to the enemy; not a single drop is his own.
This was an unacceptable humiliation for the Xiongnu people.
Their momentum quickly waned. After Ying Changqing and his men appeared, the Xiongnu soldiers immediately went limp and lost their strength to wield their swords, greatly reducing their threat to the Blood Dragon Cavalry.
Touman was an experienced general, and he clearly saw this.
Touman knew that his five thousand men would collapse out of fear.
This is something he cannot accept.
He drew his scimitar, forced himself to calm down, and stared intently at Ying Changqing.
"Let's see if you're truly invulnerable!"
"drive!"
As soon as Touman finished speaking, he spurred his warhorse and charged towards Ying Changqing like an arrow.
The Blood Dragon Riders were still chatting idly, discussing how to show off after the battle, completely unaware that Touman had already rushed in front of them.
Touman's fighting ability far exceeded that of ordinary Xiongnu soldiers.
Caught completely off guard, the Blood Dragon Riders slashed a soldier's arm with their blade.
The soldier neither dodged nor flinched, a contemptuous sneer on his face.
The next second, he let out a painful scream.
Touman's knife pierced his arm, shattering the illusion of invulnerability.
The knife wound was so deep that bone was visible, and fresh blood gushed out.
This scene made the new recruits realize that they too could get hurt.
The taxi driver who was slashed was stunned; he had never been injured before.
His eyes were bloodshot as he frantically stabbed Touman with the gun.
The attack was fierce, and Touman did not fight back directly, but immediately turned his horse and retreated.
He raised his blood-stained scimitar high and roared, "They are human too! They can be wounded! Slay them, Hun warriors!"
The morale of the Xiongnu soldiers was greatly boosted when they saw this.
"kill!"
"kill."
They charged at Ying Changqing and his group again, shouting and attacking them relentlessly.
Ying Changqing stared at the wounded Blood Dragon Cavalryman, his eyes cold and unchanging.
Ying Changqing had already noticed Touman's appearance and knew that he was powerful and could indeed cause harm.
But Ying Changqing did not intervene, and even stopped Mei San Niang from helping.
Ying Changqing was well aware of the principle that "a kind heart cannot lead an army."
These soldiers were all going to the battlefield for the first time, and when they found that the Xiongnu soldiers posed little threat, they naturally became confident.
But arrogance and pride will also arise.
Touman's blow shattered their illusions, making them realize that they too could be injured.
This will make the soldiers more careful in the future.
The benefits of this experience far outweigh the temporary pain, and Ying Changqing shouldn't have stopped it.
After that strike, the five hundred Blood Dragon Knights no longer underestimated their enemies and became serious and focused.
The injury to their comrade made them more united, and their marksmanship became even more ruthless and accurate.
Faced with the attacks of the Xiongnu cavalry, they no longer confronted them head-on, but instead dodged flexibly to protect their vitals.
After this forging process, the Blood Dragon Knight's combat power has significantly improved.
Seeing this, Mei San Niang no longer doubted Ying Changqing's decision, and her eyes revealed her admiration for him.
"Your Highness is indeed farsighted, knowing that this sword will not frighten them, but will instead inspire great progress in the Blood Dragon Cavalry."
"Yes, the battlefield is the best training ground. Now that I'm here, I can still control the situation."
"But one day, when they fight alone, if they still think they are invincible and look down on all their opponents, then someone will show them that there are always stronger opponents."
"By the time we understand this principle, it may be the time of total annihilation."
"So now it's time to make them understand that they are human beings just like ordinary soldiers, and that everyone must be respected and not arrogant."
After Ying Changqing finished speaking, he stared at Touman, who was charging at him again.
This time, Ying Changqing no longer allowed Touman to fight against ordinary soldiers.
He immediately turned his horse around and charged straight at Touman.
"Don't be so arrogant, you mere ants!"
