Chapter 11: First Battle Double Kill, Terrifyingly Strong
From the sky overlooking the Land, two cavalry forces were like two long dragons, rapidly charging together from south and north.
War horses neighed, Dust flying.
But just as the two sides were about to collide, Li Xiao’s mind went completely blank, as if he had no idea what he was supposed to do.
He could only watch as the Geluolu People in front of him drew closer and closer.
He could already clearly see his ferocious face, even the killing intent and panic in his eyes, which Li Xiao could see crystal clear.
As for Li Xiao himself, he felt his heart beating faster and faster, everything around him became silent, and the only thing he could hear was his own “thump thump” heartbeat.
At this moment, he had to admit that he was nervous.
But things had come to this point, and he had no way out.
“Ah~”
Suddenly, Li Xiao let out a roar of anger, and everything around him seemed to return to normal.
His face was ferocious, his eyes bloodshot, staring deadly at the Geluolu Person who had charged right in front of him.
“Ha~”
At the instant when the Geluolu Person’s spear was about to stab into Li Xiao’s chest, he suddenly exerted force, his body instinctively flipping over on Horseback.
Half of his body hung off the side of the Horseback, and the Cavalry Saber in his hand suddenly chopped down.
And clearly, this Geluolu Person had taken Li Xiao for a novice, seeing that it was Li Xiao’s first time on the Battlefield, he felt contempt and wanted to finish Li Xiao in one strike.
But in the end, he paid a heavy price for his arrogance.
“Pfft~”
The two war horses charging at high speed brushed past each other, and Li Xiao’s Cavalry Saber easily sliced across the Geluolu Person’s neck.
Li Xiao completed his first close-combat kill.
“Thump!”
The Geluolu Person’s Blood instantly spurted out, and the Corpse heavily fell from the horse.
After taking down one Geluolu Cavalry, Li Xiao’s entire state changed.
All feelings of discomfort completely vanished, as if using that Geluolu Person’s Blood to complete a baptism and sublimation for himself.
“Hahahaha~”
Li Xiao laughed loudly, his heart filled with boundless heroic spirit, fearless.
Only after close-combat killing one person did Li Xiao finally transform into a qualified cavalry warrior.
But immediately after, the second Geluolu Cavalry came whistling over.
Facing the joint attack of two Hexi Young and Strong, this Geluolu Cavalry knew he was no match and fled in the direction of Li Xiao.
Just a Youth, in his eyes, he was a soft persimmon.
“Go die.”
The Geluolu Person shouted as he raised his Saber, chopping toward Li Xiao.
This time, Li Xiao became unprecedentedly calm, composed and at ease, without the slightest tension or unease.
Facing the incoming Saber, he too slashed diagonally with his saber.
“Clang~”
Li Xiao’s Cavalry Saber collided with the opponent’s Saber, emitting a piercing metallic sound.
But the next second, this Geluolu Person’s pupils instantly dilated, only feeling a huge Strength transmitted from the saber, shaking his arm numb!
“What?”
The Geluolu Person’s face showed shock and Fear, completely not expecting that the enemy in front of him, who looked like a teenager, would have such terrifying Strength.
His saber was nearly knocked out of his hand, and what terrified him even more was that the spot where it had clashed with Li Xiao’s Cavalry Saber now had a notch chipped out.
“Damn.”
“Monster~”
The Geluolu Cavalry’s heart shook wildly, a Fear of death enveloping him.
Sure enough, the next second Li Xiao’s Cavalry Saber chopped over from another direction.
The Geluolu Cavalry instinctively raised his saber to block.
Instantly, only a “crack” was heard, and the Geluolu Person’s face showed ferocity and an incredulous expression.
It turned out that the Saber in his hand had been cleanly chopped in two by Li Xiao in this strike.
Just two chops!
It broke just like that?
“Ahala~”
The Geluolu Cavalry looked at the broken Saber, instantly stunned, shouting in terror from his mouth.
But Li Xiao’s saber momentum did not diminish at all, ignoring the Geluolu Cavalry’s cries of alarm, it heavily fell, directly slicing across the Geluolu Cavalry’s neck.
“Pfft~”
The Cavalry Saber tore through the Geluolu Person’s muscles and blood vessels, stopping only at the spine.
Blood instantly spurted out, and Li Xiao, facing the Geluolu Person directly, was sprayed full in the face.
Blood dripped down his Cheek, but Li Xiao smiled.
His cold and stern appearance was like a Demon who killed without blinking.
“Ha~”
“The Battlefield is nothing more than this.”
After slaying two people, Li Xiao’s Confidence was fully ignited.
He only felt a heat flow surging through his body, without the slightest fatigue.
The current him was terrifyingly strong.
When he wanted to continue looking for the next enemy, he discovered that all the Geluolu People were dead.
With only fewer than ten Geluolu People, Li Xiao himself had taken out two, and the rest weren’t even enough for the others to share.
And at this moment in the distance, Kun Ji, after being rescued, was standing on the High Slope, watching the Battle here.
Seeing Li Xiao slay two Geluolu People in a short moment, without a single hair out of place on himself.
Such a brave and skilled in combat appearance made the Woman involuntarily exclaim in surprise: “Which Village’s Youth is this? So ferocious!”
“This~”
The ten Khitan Warriors who had originally been by the Woman’s side now only had two left, and both were seriously injured.
The two exchanged a glance, neither able to say anything coherent.
The Khitan People’s main gathering places in the Western Liao Dynasty were in the Seven Rivers Basin and the Royal Court.
These people were also coming to Jin Prefecture for the first time, so how would they know the situation of the Villages here.
“Forget it, asking you is pointless.”
The Woman had no intention of getting an answer from them, instead continuing to focus on the Battle situation in the distance.
In her heart, she secretly planned that once back in the Eastern Capital, she would properly reward this Youth, and best of all, have Elder Brother conscript him to serve as her Guard.
Thinking this, the Woman took out an Arrow.
It still had remnants of the Geluolu Person’s Blood and brain matter, but she, raised on Horseback since childhood, didn’t care about any of it.
Instead, she gently rubbed the “Dragon” character on the arrow shaft with her finger.
“They’ve won.” The Woman suddenly said.
Facing the fierce encirclement and killing by Li Xiao and the others, the Geluolu People were no match, slaughtered one by one.
But the two Khitan Warriors showed no joy at all, instead persuading saying:
“Kun Ji, let’s go quickly. There are still many Geluolu People behind; they won’t hold them off.”
“Yes, Kun Ji, we should head back to the Eastern Capital first, request the Great King to assemble an Army, and then come eliminate the Geluolu People.”
“We can’t waste the Sacrifice of Bahas and the others.”
Facing the persuasion of the two Khitan Warriors, the Woman, for some reason, felt a faint anticipation in her heart and gently shook her head: “Wait a bit more.”
……
These nine Geluolu People died miserably; compared to those previously killed instantly by Bow and Arrow, the last ones were more like being hacked to pieces.
Facing the encirclement and killing by the people of Hexi Fort, they didn’t even have much chance to swing their blades before their bodies were chopped and their throats slit.
On the other hand, the side of Hexi Fort had almost no losses, with only one person getting a cut on the arm.
“This Battle was fought so refreshingly!” A villager from Hexi Fort laughed and said. He had personally severed a Geluolu Person’s neck just now, avenging his Relative who died on North Mountain.
The others nodded too, laughing heartily.
In the past, they couldn’t have imagined that one day a Battle could achieve a kill-to-loss ratio of forty to zero.
But the fact was just that: their eighteen people had slain over forty Geluolu People, without a single casualty on their side.
Simply a miracle.
Of course, the deaths of those Khitan People before didn’t count; the Hexi Young and Strong didn’t consider them as their own.
And to achieve such a record, the greatest Merit naturally went to Li Xiao.
Everyone’s gazes turned to the Youth standing horseback with saber drawn in front, all feeling genuine admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Xiao was not only superb in Shooting Skill, astonishing in martial prowess, brave and skilled in combat, but also an excellent Commander.
To lead Soldiers to victory while minimizing their own losses—this was what convinced everyone.
However, after the crowd had just said a few words and before they could start cleaning the Battlefield, Li Xiao suddenly looked into the distance, his expression becoming slightly grave.
He immediately shouted to everyone: “Don’t clean up. Take your Weapons; throw away everything else.”
“Return to the Village immediately!”
The Geluolu People’s follow-up Cavalry, after dealing with the Khitan People by Dragon Bone River, had already caught up.
Nearly fifty Geluolu Cavalry were now less than two li away from Li Xiao and the others.
Li Xiao and the others had just gone through a Battle, with some Consume of physical strength, and quite a few Arrows lost, no time to pick them up, and their numbers far fewer than the Geluolu People.
In this situation, they had to avoid Battle at all costs.
Thus, the people of Hexi Fort didn’t dare delay; they hastily picked up some Arrows and Weapons from the ground, mounted their horses, and headed toward Hexi Fort.
Midway through the gallop, Er Qiang suddenly remembered and said: “There seem to be a few Khitan People still alive over there.”
“What do we care about them.” Li Xiao shook his head and said.
Saving themselves was the priority.
Let those Khitan People die!
Anyway, from the start, they weren’t fighting to save the Khitan People, but simply to kill Geluolu People.
