Chapter 430 Serial Assassinations
“boom”

The doors of the houses on both sides were broken, and countless black-clothed and masked warriors holding steel swords and small shields rushed towards the cavalry.

Their target was the envoy from Xiliang inside the carriage.

This was a premeditated assassination, and the mastermind behind it was extremely powerful. After all, he was able to arrange hundreds of elite warriors to carry out the assassination even when Qingzhou City was under martial law.

“kill.”

Shi Xiao shouted loudly. Under the ferocious mask was a cold face. This little scene could not scare him.

He was one of the first people to come out of Shi Village and follow Xiao Han. Over the years, he fought in many battles, killed countless enemies, fell into danger countless times, and crawled out of piles of the dead countless times.

He had never been afraid of thousands of troops, so how could he be frightened by hundreds of assassins?

The cavalry was lined up in an orderly manner, and the outermost ones did not move, but waited for the assassins to approach.

“Fire arrows.”

At the centurion’s command, crossbow arrows flew densely. Although the black-clad warriors had small shields in their hands, the cavalry were not stupid either. The crossbow arrows were all aimed at their limbs.

Although the accuracy was a bit poor, they could not withstand the large number of crossbow arrows fired in a volley. In an instant, dozens of black-clad warriors fell down one after another. Most of them did not die, but they directly lost their combat effectiveness.

In this situation, losing combat effectiveness and mobility is far more terrifying than dying directly.

The black-clad warriors at the back carried the people in front and rushed across the city to the front of the cavalry.

“Pfft.”

However, what greeted them were heavy shields and cold spears.

“Enter.”

The centurion gave the order, his eyes cold under the mask, as if these black-clad assassins were already corpses.

“Rumble”

“Rumble”

The dull footsteps were very rhythmic, and the distance of each step was almost the same. The sword and shield man pushed the big shield forward continuously, like a moving city wall.

In the gap between the two large shields, a long spear kept stabbing, then retracting, and then continuing.

The small shields of the black-clad warriors could not block the stabbing of the spears, and the steel knives in their hands could not break through the shield wall of the cavalry. They were stabbed to death by the spears before they even had a chance to touch the shield wall.

After just a brief fight, these black-clad killers were defeated step by step and were unable to break through the defense of the Cavalry Army.

Everyone in the world knows that the Western Liang Cavalry is invincible. In a head-on confrontation, even the Jizhou Cavalry and the Northern Wei’s heavy cavalry are no match for the Western Liang Cavalry.

However, few people know that the Xiliang Cavalry was also unrivaled in infantry combat, and they could charge into battle on horseback and repel the enemy on foot.

The Cavalry Corps is Xiao Han’s personal guard, and is the elite among the elite. When mounted, they are heavily armored cavalry, and when dismounted, they are heavy infantry, and are specialized in countering cavalry charges.

How can a few hundred stragglers break through the cavalry’s defense line?

In just a cup of tea, most of the assassins on the long street were strangled, and the ground was littered with corpses.

There were still dozens of black-clad warriors left, forced into a corner of the long street.

In the distance, dense crowds of people could be vaguely seen. They were the defenders of Qingzhou City, and they were a little slow in arriving.

“boom.”

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the street behind the carriage, soared into the air, and slashed with the long sword in his hand. The surging sword energy broke through the air and headed towards the carriage.

More than a dozen elite soldiers jumped up with large shields and rushed towards the sword energy.

“Boom” the sword light was extremely domineering. The large wooden shield wrapped in two layers of iron sheets was shattered into pieces the moment it came into contact with the sword energy.

More than a dozen soldiers were blown away by the aftermath of the sword energy before they could even react. Fortunately, they had large shields and iron armor to weaken the power of the sword energy, otherwise this sword would have easily killed them.

“So brave.”

Shi Xiao shouted loudly and patted the horse’s back. His burly body rose into the air and he activated his cultivation. It was actually Vajra Realm Kung Fu. His internal force was injected into the saber, and the long and narrow saber made a humming sound.

He stood up with his sword in hand, and in a flash he flew more than ten feet away, appeared on the carriage, swung his saber, and slashed at the killer.

“boom”

The two swords collided, the domineering sword light roared, and a strong wind was raised, and sand and rocks flew. The swordsmanship of the person coming was extremely domineering.

But Shi Xiao’s swordsmanship was equally domineering. After all, he was trained by Xiao Han, and he often charged into battle with murderous intent.

The two men fought with their swords, and were evenly matched. The black-clad swordsman was knocked back, and Shi Xiao was also knocked several feet away, falling to the ground. He took several steps back, breaking the blue bricks under his feet, and only then did he manage to steady himself.

“So domineering.”

Shi Xiao was secretly surprised. His skills were not weak in the Xiliang Army, although he was not as good as the veteran generals such as Hu Chi, Lu Ju, Liao Huan, Zhuge Shou and Qin Yuanba.

But among the new generation, he is considered to be first-rate, and he is not inferior even to the well-known masters of Zhixuan in the world.

Unexpectedly, he was knocked back by just one sword. Under the mask, he looked at the black-clad swordsman who was on the roof in the distance. His eyes were cold and full of murderous intent.

Similarly, the eyes of the black-clad swordsman under the mask were also extremely solemn. Although they only fought one move, he had a general understanding of the strength of both sides.

“boom”

The black-clad swordsman shuddered all over, and swung his long sword horizontally in front of him, holding the hilt with one hand and the other on the back of the sword.

“Bah.”

Immediately after that, he activated his internal force, and the house under his feet was shaken into ruins. He flew out like a roc spreading its wings.

The long sword chopped down, the wind roared, the sharp sword energy roared, and the sounds of dragon roars and tiger roars echoed faintly.

Shi Xiao was not willing to be outdone. He also summoned his internal strength, vibrated the saber in his hand, took a step forward, and pounced on the black-clad swordsman again.

At the end of the long street, the defenders of Qingzhou City were about to arrive. Suddenly, heavy snow came. Countless points of light appeared in the snow, covering the sky and the earth, and submerging half of the long street.

The light spots were dense and silent, and wherever they went, heavy armor shattered and blood spurted out. Countless Qingzhou soldiers were directly pierced through. The powerful force even tore through the armor and flesh, leaving dense holes on the surrounding walls.

Each spot of light was an extremely ferocious hidden weapon. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground, and their miserable screams echoed over the long street.

For a moment, the defenders of Qingzhou City were blocked outside the long street and no one dared to step forward.

Such advanced hidden weapon techniques are rarely seen in the world.

Above the long street, Shi Xiao and the black-clad swordsman were fighting each other. The domineering sword energy collided, and the figures intertwined, making it difficult to separate.

“call out”

Another figure fell from the sky. Before he landed on the ground, the sad long sword was unsheathed. He controlled the sword energy and stepped on the void, like a flying swallow across the sky. The sword energy spanned more than ten feet and went towards the shield formation of the cavalry blocking the carriage.

“Defend the enemy.”

The centurion shouted loudly and moved forward with a shield formation, trying to block the killer, but he did not expect the opponent’s sword energy to be too strong.

Before the figure arrived, the sharp sword energy directly tore through the large shields of the Cavalry. The man and the sword became one, extremely fierce and invincible. They cut a bloody path through the battle formation of the Cavalry, and the air was filled with blood-colored mist.
