Chen Sansi spurred his horse to take the lead.

    The rest followed closely behind.

    "Sir!" Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire

    Xia Cong said worriedly, "Could there be too many pursuers? Can General Fang and the others hold them back?"

    "No need for idle talk!"

    "Giddyap!"

    Chen Sansi sped up.

    On one hand, he had a clear understanding of the situation, and on the other, he trusted Fang Qingyun.

    Moreover,

    A commander,

    If he does not know how to use his men and insists on doing everything himself, can he still be called a commander? That would make him a vanguard, a mere man!

    "Buzz!"

    Chen Sansi, hearing the sound of hooves behind him, turned and fired an arrow. The willow-leaf arrow, powered by True Dragon Strength, tore through the rain curtain. Its accuracy and strength were seemingly unaffected by the heavy rain, thanks to the assistance of the powerful force.

    One li!

    His effective range did not require a breakthrough to be improved, it was just that the regular improvements were insubstantial; after a breakthrough, the increase would surge. Now, with the improvement in his proficiency, it had officially gone from three hundred steps to over four hundred meters, up to one li!

    At such a distance, coupled with the pouring rain, it was impossible to see clearly, let alone hear the sound of a bowstring being drawn and released.

    Only when the arrow was twenty steps away did Fan Jiuxiao, riding at the front, suddenly realize the danger and hurriedly infused his strength into the Mystic Iron Shield to block it in front of him.

    "Buzz—"

    Even so,

    The immense impact still caused Fan Jiuxiao to reel backward, but he was, at least, unharmed. He rejoiced in his heart, "It really works! Brothers, hold your shields tight! Without his arrows, Chen Sansi is useless!"

    "Kill—"

    "Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

    Chen Sansi shot several arrows in succession, each time the feedback was the sound of metal collisions, obviously all were blocked.

    In fact,

    Even with shields, ordinary cavalry would find them useless.

    The sheer impact of the pure force could blow them away.

    The problem was...

    The number of Ghost Vein Arrows was too few.

    He only had ten left in his hand, and he really didn''t want to use them all up.

    It seems necessary to sort out the black bear after getting back, to obtain another robust piece of Ghost Vein Wood. If Seeking Immortal Tower could provide some more metal, it would make the use of Ghost Vein Arrows unrestricted.

    However...

    If he couldn''t shoot people to death, couldn''t he shoot horses?

    Chen Sansi, through the waterfall-like rain curtain and using his Qi Observation Skill, locked onto his targets. He slightly lowered his aim and within a single breath, three arrows shot forth.

    "Hiss!!"

    The cries of the warhorses rose.

    Several cavalrymen fell to the ground, and the cavalry charging from behind had no time to stop. Either they trampled their fallen comrades to death, or both rider and horse were tripped, suffering the stampede of those coming after...

    Essentially, each fall brought down a good number of others, and one could not get up even if they weren''t killed outright.

    In the pitch-black rain curtain, a voice louder than thunder boomed.

    "Nan Xu rebels!"

    "Dare you pursue us further? You have already been surrounded by my thirty thousand-strong army. Dismount and surrender quickly, or you will all die here at Silver Pine Cliff today!"

    "Bullshit!"

    Fan Jiuxiao cursed, "You couldn''t have more than three thousand men at most inside Hulaoguan, stop bluffing!" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Don''t believe it? Then keep chasing!"

    Chen Sansi''s White Swan Horse was fast enough.

    But the rest of his subordinates clearly weren''t enough.

    As a result, he had no choice but to continuously fire arrows while falling back.

    Even so, the distance between them kept getting closer.

    Until two giant mountain peaks appeared ahead, and more than twenty cavalry took advantage of the rain curtain to slip into the canyon, suddenly disappearing from view.

    "Boom——"

    "Huh——"

    Fan Jiuxiao reined in his horse, stopping, and the thousands of cavalry behind him along with thousands of infantry all did the same.

    "General!"

    "This area is narrow, there must be an ambush!"

    "Scared of what, charge in for me!"

    Fan Jiuxiao roared as he swung his long sword, fearless as a descending tiger, leading the charge into the canyon with cavalry swiftly following.

    "Kill——"

    It was at that same moment.

    "Swish, swish, swish!"

    "Boom——"

    Above the canyon, countless arrows fell like a waterfall in the rain, accompanied by endless rolling stones and falling wood.

    "Ambush!"

    "There''s an ambush!"

    "..."

    "Look at the top of the canyon, everyone!"

    "Crack——"

    Thunder sounded.

    Above the canyon, it teemed with people, densely packed.

    At the highest point, a wheelchair quietly appeared, and with the help of the lightning, everyone could barely make out a scholar in a Confucian robe. With such an imposing manner, other than the widely known Mr. Feng Chu, Fang Qingyun, who else could it be?

    Standing beside the wheelchair, Wang Zhi shouted from his high vantage point, "General Fang Qingyun of the Azure Dragon Camp commands here. You have fallen into our encirclement. Surrender quickly to avoid death!"

    Fang Qingyun!

    It seemed.

    Everyone had been so focused on White Horse Chen Sansi that they had forgotten about Mr. Feng Chu, Fang Qingyun.

    "Ah!"

    In the midst of the canyon.

    The ambushed cavalry were dying one after another, with casualties surpassing a hundred in an instant.

    But at that moment.

    Fan Jiuxiao suddenly looked up and burst out laughing: "Hahaha——"

    From atop the canyon, Wang Zhi rebuked sharply, "Hey! You brat, what''s so funny when death is upon you?"

    "I laugh—"

    Fan Jiuxiao shouted loudly, "I laugh at that White Robe who lacks clever plans, and Phoenix who is short on wisdom!"

    "Do you really think I''m a fool!

    "Knowing there are ambush troops inside the canyon, would I still enter, increasing my own casualties?!"

    "I merely used myself as bait to lure you big fish!"

    "Fang Qingyun!

    "Look at both sides of the canyon, you''re surrounded——"

    "Boom——"

    On both sides of the Silver Pine Canyon,

    three thousand elite soldiers were raiding from each side. Carrying the flag of Da Xu, they attacked silently, assaulting from the flanks toward the top of the canyon.
