No matter how many people there are, once they lose their spirit and courage, they will become a mob destined to be harvested!
At this time, Yan Liqiang felt that he was not chasing people, but chasing a group of rabbits.
The ruthless Black Wind Bandits who killed people like crazy in the northwestern states became a group of weaklings in front of Yan Liqiang.
He rode on the Rhino Horse like he was hunting. Every time he drew his bow and the arrow flew off the string, he would shoot a Black Wind Bandit in front of him off the horse, and he would fall heavily to the ground. And every time a Black Wind Bandit was shot off the horse, the other Black Wind Bandits became more terrified, like dogs that had lost their homes. In front of Yan Liqiang, they didn't even have the courage to look back.
Every scream from behind, every sharp sound of breaking through the air, and every trembling of the bowstring made their bodies tremble uncontrollably and became their lingering nightmare.
These Black Wind Bandits had seen people at the third level of Archery before. In fact, their leader who was killed by Yan Liqiang with the first arrow was a person at the third level of Archery. It was precisely because of this that that person was entrusted with the important task of bringing two hundred Black Wind Bandits here to plug the loophole they had set up in the Langya Valley.
However, although their leader had reached the third level of archery, he could not use such a strong bow. The bow he used was only two stones. He could still compete with Yan Liqiang in accuracy at close range, but when the distance was far away, that person became Yan Liqiang's first sacrifice of the day before he could even touch a hair of Yan Liqiang.
With a strong bow and 100% accuracy, such a person can become the nightmare of all soldiers on the battlefield.
What frightened the Black Wind Bandits even more was that they would wake up from a normal nightmare, but the nightmare they encountered today had no intention of waking them up from the beginning. This nightmare had become their deepest nightmare. Because Yan Liqiang had been using a strong bow that could kill people from a thousand meters away since the beginning of the battle, and he could draw the bow tirelessly and shoot arrows continuously, shooting one pot of arrows after another, as if using such a strong bow did not consume any effort. Such a person was beyond the understanding and knowledge of the Black Wind Bandits, and they had never even heard of him. Under normal circumstances, a person who used a strong bow of more than five stones could draw the bow ten times in a short period of time, which was already amazing. A person who could draw a bow and shoot more than one pot of arrows was already a superhuman existence. From the beginning to now, more than three pots of arrows had been shot from Yan Liqiang's hand. Almost half of their two hundred companions died at the hands of the same person. Such a person was no longer a human, but a devil, a devil that specialized in devouring their lives and flesh on the battlefield.
"Sagotan..."
The terrified Black Wind Bandits, as they were running for their lives, finally someone couldn't help but let out a scream.
"Ugh..." The first Black Wind Bandit who screamed had just let out a scream when a sharp arrow pierced his throat and he fell backwards. Although the Black Wind Bandit's body had fallen to the ground, one of his feet was still hanging on the stirrup and he was dragged wildly on the ground by the Rhino Horse. In the blink of an eye, half of his body was rubbed on the ground and covered in blood, leaving a dark red mark on the ground.
This made the remaining Black Wind Bandits even more terrified, and their collective escape finally turned into a complete rout. One by one, the Black Wind Bandits began to gallop on their horses towards every place they could escape, no longer having the courage to look back.
What these Black Wind Bandits didn't know was that their final rout actually left them a way to survive.
Yan Liqiang originally planned to chase after these Black Wind Bandits and kill them all, but what Yan Liqiang did not expect was that the Black Wind Bandits would scatter at this time, which made it impossible for him to stop all of them. Although the bow in his hand was powerful, he did not have the ability to clone himself, so he could only focus on the largest group of Black Wind Bandits and chase after them.
…
Just ten minutes later, when Yan Liqiang's bowstring trembled again, a ball of blood finally burst out on the back of the last black figure on the hillside two hundred meters in front of him. The figure fell to the ground at once, and Yan Liqiang's vision finally cleared up.
"Xilulu..." Wuyun Gaixue neighed, and his body suddenly stood up from charging forward, then with a bang he slammed his front hooves heavily on the ground and stopped.
Yan Liqiang looked back and saw that Sun Bingchen and his group had been left behind by him. In the surrounding wilderness, there were still a few black spots running for their lives, but those black spots were already quite far away from him.
"Li Qiang..." Liang Yijie, who was also covered in blood, rode over on his horse and looked at Yan Liqiang with a complicated look that Yan Liqiang had never seen before. He especially lingered on the horn python bow in Yan Liqiang's hand for a moment, "My Lord is still behind us, let's go back first..."
"Okay!" Yan Li emphasized and turned his horse's head, rushing towards where Sun Bingchen was with Liang Yiji.
Just now, I saw Yan Liqiang chasing those Black Wind Bandits alone, and Liang Yiji also followed him. However, what really frightened those Black Wind Bandits along the way was the horn python bow in Yan Liqiang's hand. Although Liang Yiji was a martial arts master, he was far away from those Black Wind Bandits, so his martial arts skills were useless.
Liang Yiji did not ask about Yan Liqiang's archery skills, and Yan Liqiang did not say anything either. So the two of them rode on their rhinoceros horses, one after the other, and ran back quickly.
It was only when he saw the body of a Black Wind Bandit that Yan Liqiang called out to Liang Yiji, "Brother Liang, wait a moment..."
Liang Yiji also stopped his horse. Yan Liqiang rode on his horse and used his horn python bow to lift the veil covering the face of the Black Wind Bandit on the ground. Under the veil, the face of a Shatu man, which was already pale and distorted, suddenly came into Yan Liqiang's eyes.
"Shatu people..." Liang Yiji also exclaimed slightly.
From the time the two sides started fighting until now, all of these Black Wind Bandits had their faces covered and remained silent. Although Liang Yiji had killed more than one Black Wind Bandit in the battle just now, he did not expect that these Black Wind Bandits were actually Shatu people.
“It is just as I expected…” Yan Liqiang exhaled. Just now, when he heard these Black Wind Bandits shouting “Sagodan…”, he felt strange, because “Sagodan…” means devil in the language of Shatu people. He didn’t expect that these Black Wind Bandits were actually Shatu people.
The main reason why the Black Wind Bandits are so feared in the northwestern states is that any caravan or traveler who encounters them will basically not survive. The Black Wind Bandits always act in groups, and they almost never leave anyone alive, nor do they leave their own bodies behind. Every time they go out, they wear black scarves and black clothes, completely covering their bodies. Almost no one has ever seen their true faces, and those who have been lucky enough to see their faces have almost all turned into dry bones.
On the way back, Liang Yiji saw the bodies of Black Wind Bandits on the road and checked them. The results of his inspection were exactly the same as Yan Liqiang's first discovery - these Black Wind Bandits, almost without exception, were all Shatu people.
When Yan Liqiang returned to Sun Bingchen, he clearly felt that everyone, including Sun Bingchen, looked at him differently, especially the guards around Sun Bingchen. It could be said that the same way those guards looked at Liang Yiji before, the same way they looked at Yan Liqiang at this time, even with a little more respect and amazement.
The corpses of the Black Wind Bandits were everywhere, and the ownerless Rhinoceros Horses were wandering in the wilderness. The wilderness where the bloodbath had taken place was filled with a bloody smell. This bloody smell, along with the night wind blowing across the land, drifted everywhere and attracted the wild wolves in the nearby wilderness. One by one, the wild wolves began to wander around the edge of the battlefield, slowly trying to get closer...
In the battle just now, more than thirty of Sun Bingchen's guards were injured, and more than twenty were killed. Many of their faces that were lively before turned pale and lost the warmth of life in the blink of an eye.
A thick atmosphere of sadness hangs over the place.
The veils of the Black Wind Bandits were all pulled down. All of them, without exception, were Shatu people.
Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth, got off his horse, and together with other guards, tied up the bodies of the guards who had just died in the battle on the rhino dragon horses. Then everyone took all the rhino dragon horses they could without stopping, and continued to rush towards the target town.
…
Just a few dozen minutes after Yan Liqiang and his men left here, a large group of Black Wind Bandits' cavalry also arrived here amid the sound of rumbling iron hooves.
