#269 - Court Eagle
Little Yu was sitting on the back of the Divine Eagle, holding a long spear in her hand.
This spear had been sent flying when the cavalrymen were knocked off their horses by the Divine Eagle, and Little Yu on the eagle's back had seized the opportunity to grab it.
Holding the spear, Little Yu's eyes were initially filled with confusion, as if she didn't quite know the purpose of this thing.
But soon, the memories of her ancient ancestors were awakened within her, and she quickly understood the use of the spear.
Thus,
as the Divine Eagle launched another dive,
Little Yu raised the spear high in her hand, aiming it at the cavalry below.
With a flick of her hand, the spear was immediately thrown out.
"Whoosh!"
The spear immediately whistled through the air!
Little Yu's martial force, combined with the Divine Eagle's high-speed flight, and the spear's own weight,
these three forces combined to make the speed of the spear reach a terrifying level.
"Swish! ! !"
A cavalry officer of the seventh rank, who had just drawn his bow, watched in horror as a black shadow shot towards him like lightning.
The next moment,
before the cavalry officer could make an effective defense, the spear had already pierced through his body, even piercing through the horse beneath him.
The man and his horse fell to the ground on the spot, rolling and dying.
Little Yu was only at the ninth rank.
If she were on the ground, even with a spear in hand, she would have no ability to cause any harm to the seventh-rank cavalry officer.
But now, with the Divine Eagle's divine power and the added force of gravity from above, Little Yu was actually able to instantly kill a seventh-rank martial artist!
This kind of combined effect was truly terrifying!
On the Divine Eagle's back, Little Yu also became excited, barking loudly.
So when the Divine Eagle swooped down again, Little Yu took the opportunity to grab three more spears and hold them in her arms.
Next, she wanted to continue playing this game of shooting people and horses from the sky.
At this time, of the nearly five hundred cavalrymen, at least a hundred had fallen from their horses and lost their combat power.
The Divine Eagle also became excited, its hooked beak emitting a high-pitched and loud cry, preparing to dive again.
The faces of the cavalrymen changed.
They were skilled at ground charges, but not at fighting enemies in the sky.
The Divine Eagle was practically carrying out a dimensionality reduction attack on them.
The cavalry general knew that if this continued, they would have no way to fight.
He immediately waved his saber and shouted loudly:
"All of you, turn your horses around and follow me!"
He knew that if they continued to charge towards the bandits of Black Boar Fortress, their formation would be scattered by the Divine Eagle from behind before they could even reach them.
The only plan now was to fight the Divine Eagle head-on.
The cavalry formation immediately began to make a U-turn.
It was difficult for horses running at full speed to turn around quickly, and they often had to run in a large arc first.
"Everyone, gather together!"
"Abandon your bows and arrows, grip your spears tightly, and aim upwards!"
The general continued to shout.
The cavalrymen raised the spears in their hands one after another.
A forest of spears immediately stood up, and if the Divine Eagle swooped down again, it would be met with this dense forest of spears.
Under the leadership of the general, the cavalrymen began to circle around, following the Divine Eagle's flight.
They were unwilling to be attacked by the Divine Eagle from behind again.
Only with a head-on charge could the power of their cavalry be brought to its maximum.
However,
the Divine Eagle was fast and flying in the sky.
"Pay attention to the rear!"
"The giant eagle is coming again!"
The cavalrymen had no choice but to turn around and point their spears to the rear.
But without the impact force of the horses, the power of their spear formation was greatly reduced.
This made the cavalrymen feel a burst of panic, and even their breathing became rapid.
The Divine Eagle had already lowered its flight altitude and was getting closer and closer.
"Whoosh!"
On the Divine Eagle's back, Little Yu had already thrown another spear.
Another cavalryman was pierced through and killed.
"Whoosh!"
Little Yu followed suit, and another spear was thrown.
And the Divine Eagle was about to come into contact with the cavalry formation.
The general roared and suddenly jumped from his horse.
With a slash of his saber, he first knocked away Little Yu's spear.
Then, as he fell, he stomped hard on the horse's back.
The warhorse neighed, its legs weakened by the stomp, and it fell to the ground.
And the general also used the force to fly towards the Divine Eagle.
"Take this! ! !"
The general roared.
He raised his saber, the blade light was like lightning, and its power was fierce.
He actually wanted to use his own strength to withstand the impact of the Divine Eagle!
This general was also a fifth-rank martial artist.
The Divine Eagle was also at the fifth rank.
But even at the same fifth rank, there could be a world of difference in strength.
The Divine Eagle's fifth rank was the fifth rank recognized by the system!
"Whoosh!"
The general's saber light slashed down, fiercely striking towards the Divine Eagle's head.
But the Divine Eagle suddenly spread its wings and flapped them, and the huge air wave caused its speed to drop sharply, dodging the general's slash.
Then, like an eagle catching a chicken, its claws suddenly grabbed towards the general.
The general's body was falling, but the saber in his hand was wielded so tightly that it was airtight, and the saber light formed a barrier around him.
However, the Divine Eagle's claws did not avoid it at all, and directly grabbed down.
"Clang! ! !"
Only a crisp sound was heard.
The speed of the Divine Eagle's claws was surprisingly fast, and it accurately grabbed the hilt of the saber from within the blade light.
In particular, the Divine Eagle's claws seemed to be metal claws, and when they collided with the hilt of the saber, they could even make a metallic collision sound.
The instant the general's saber hilt was seized, he felt an immense force, as if he were about to be swept into the sky.
He hurriedly gripped the hilt with one hand and reached for the short sword at his waist with the other.
But the next moment.
"Thud!!!"
A deafening sound came from above.
The general's head buzzed.
It turned out to be the giant eagle's hooked beak, which had fiercely pecked down at the general's crown.
Fortunately, the general was wearing a thick helmet. Although the giant eagle's beak easily pierced the helmet, it lost the chance to pierce the general's skull.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
The moment the loud noise erupted, the general sensed something was amiss and abruptly retracted his head, abandoning his helmet.
"Damn it!"
The general couldn't help but curse inwardly.
If he hadn't been wearing a helmet, his skull would have been cracked open by the divine eagle just now.
The general had spent his entire life practicing the art of killing.
All his martial arts were aimed at human martial artists.
But the divine eagle, being a beast, had a completely different fighting style from that of human martial artists.
This made the general feel particularly strained.
It was said that only some hunter martial artists were skilled at fighting large beasts.
Those hunter martial artists were not only familiar with the fighting styles of large beasts but also very adept at exploiting their weaknesses.
Unfortunately, the general did not possess this skill.
"Whoosh!"
Just as the general was lamenting, the divine eagle's wings swept over.
The general drew his short sword and was about to stab at the divine eagle's wings.
But the strong wind generated by the divine eagle's flapping wings caused the general to squint slightly.
In that moment of distraction.
The giant eagle's other claw also came whistling over.
The sharp claws were as fast as lightning, silent and unpredictable, and grabbed the general's head.
The four toes on the claw suddenly contracted, directly piercing into the general's flesh and bones, easily crushing the general's head!
All this happened too quickly!
Only after the general was killed by the divine eagle did his body fall from mid-air to the ground.
"Lord!!!"
The surrounding cavalrymen were shocked at the sight.
They raised their spears and wanted to come to support.
But the divine eagle merely flapped its wings and quickly ascended into the sky.
It glided and circled in the air, and when it had accumulated enough speed, it once again charged fiercely towards the cavalrymen.
These cavalrymen were knocked over and thrown into disarray.
Xiaoyu also continuously grabbed those spears and feather arrows, launching attacks on the cavalrymen from the divine eagle's back.
Even if some attacks occasionally landed on the divine eagle's body, they were ineffective.
The defensive power of bird feathers is extremely strong.
In Liang Jin's previous life, someone discovered that pheasant feathers could provide excellent bulletproof effects, and used pheasant feathers to research bulletproof vests.
Especially with the death of the fifth-rank general, the remaining cavalrymen had completely lost their power to resist the divine eagle.
The only one who might be injured was Xiaoyu.
But fortunately, Xiaoyu rode on the divine eagle's back, and it was basically difficult to attack her from below the divine eagle.
Moreover, there were no experts with good enough lightness skills to fly up and attack her.
In addition, Xiaoyu was also very clever and never rashly jumped off the divine eagle to participate in the battle, but only launched ranged attacks.
In this way.
The divine eagle and Xiaoyu continued to charge, and soon scattered the cavalrymen.
"Good!!!"
The people of Black Boar Fort couldn't help but cheer when they saw this scene.
Although they were not sure who the divine eagle and Xiaoyu were.
But since they were slaughtering government soldiers, they were helping their side.
And now, an uneasy mood began to permeate the governor's team.
Their reinforcements were actually defeated by one person and one bird.
After losing their reinforcements, the remaining people would find it difficult to launch an effective counterattack against Black Boar Fort.
If this continued, defeat would probably be inevitable.
And the Six Doors expert who had been suppressing Xingniang was also seriously injured and fled back to the team under the joint attack of Dong Xiong and Li Rong.
Now, the experts who appeared in the governor's team had all been defeated.
Liang Jin's gaze turned to the sedan chair:
"Now, shouldn't you make a move?"
If this expert didn't make a move, he wouldn't be able to turn the tide.
As if to confirm Liang Jin's thoughts.
The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted.
A man in the black uniform of the Six Doors slowly walked out of the sedan chair.
His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, full of heroic spirit, and a pair of deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. His nose was straight, his lip line was clear, and he was extremely serious.
His figure was slender and well-proportioned, with broad shoulders and a wide back, showing the strong physique honed by long-term practice of internal skills and martial arts. He wore a Six Doors-specific uniform, mainly black, with a golden flying eagle pattern embroidered on the lapel.
This eagle is the eagle of the imperial court.
The Six Doors are the eagle, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard are the dogs.
As the eyes and claws of the Great Qian Dynasty, the two jointly defended the rule of Great Qian.
As soon as the man appeared, the internal force throughout his body began to surge wildly.
His powerful aura deliberately emanated, sweeping the audience.
At this moment, the experts on the battlefield all felt something and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the man.
"He is... Li Muyun!"
"The commander of the Six Doors of Changzhou!"
The people of Black Boar Fort immediately recognized the identity of this Six Doors member.
Many people were even so shocked that they couldn't help but slowly retreat, as if they were extremely afraid of this person.
