Chen Ping's Sword

Chapter 363: Chapter 177: Military Array Stage 4, Capture the King to Catch the Thief 4

He shouted in a deep voice, "Breaking Edge Cavalry, follow me into battle... Senior Sister, you lead the rest of the troops to observe at all times. If you see the Baimei Army’s formation falling into chaos, charge immediately."

The Breaking Edge Cavalry totaled two hundred men, including forty-eight experts handpicked by Chen Ping from the Primordial Sect.

The strongest among them were Sun Yun and Yuk Zhixian, nearly reaching Golden Body Perfection, while the weakest was Xiaoyangtao, who had just barely broken through to the Silver Body Realm.

Under Chen Ping’s unique combination of Dao Seed and Star Essence Power, everyone’s cultivation had made significant progress.

Besides these forty-eight, there were also disciples from various martial halls conquered by the Xingqing Prefecture, including the innate expert Cheng Wuduan and another forty-nine experts at the Opening the Extraordinary Meridians level, and one hundred and two skilled practitioners at the Twelve Main Meridians Perfection.

This time, apart from Han Wushang and Sima Rou who were stationed at Xingqing Prefecture, and Shang Yinzhang who maintained internal security without any rash moves,

it could be said that Chen Ping had brought along all the top experts under his command.

This battle was not only about securing victory, but also about allowing these experts to experience the battlefield and gain training.

So in the future, when they command troops, they wouldn’t be flustered.

A thousand troops are easy to find, but a single general is hard to come by.

It could be said that Chen Ping leading these two hundred men into the city was with the hope of forging a group of fierce generals.

"Master, why don’t you go with Senior Sister Han?"

Chen Ping turned to Sun Yun and tentatively asked.

"Han’er can take care of herself well enough. It’s not very dangerous on her side. I better go into the city and face the Baimei General. There’s no Grandmaster in this world who hasn’t gone through battles, and I plan to lead troops for another fifty years."

After becoming the Primordial Sect’s Preaching Elder, Sun Yun, for some unknown reason, had a surge of indomitable fighting spirit in his old age.

Every day he seemed invigorated, competing and dueling with various people.

This time, he intended to lead troops.

’Perhaps he was confined to the Sect Leader position for too long, and we indeed misjudged him. This man was never suited for handling overly complicated matters, and what he truly loved was direct, bloody combat. This is good.’

Chen Ping chuckled freely, "Then let’s enter the city and face the Baimei Army."

The two hundred cavalrymen, united as one, swept like a gust of wind, circled the city, and headed briskly towards the Qingjiang River bank on the north. Over twenty people were already waiting there.

At the forefront stood Weichi, a disciple from Primordial Martial Arts Hall.

At this moment, this young man in his twenties with a darkened face showed signs of fatigue between his brows, but his eyes were filled with killing intent. Clearly, he hadn’t had an easy time in Yuanxi City and was filled with repressed grievances.

Upon seeing Chen Ping, he hurriedly bowed, and the twenty-some people behind him also hastily knelt down.

"Subordinate Weichi, reporting to Lord."

"No need for formalities. Time is of the essence. Junior Weik, you and the others lead the way, take the North City Gate with your master and others."

"Yes, my Lord."

Weichi took a deep breath, paid respects to Sun Yun and the others, and then thirty-some people moved closer to the city wall. With steel knives and long swords, they plunged into the water, passed through the water gate, and directly entered the city.

Chen Ping arranged for Sun Yun to lead over ten top experts to seize the city and open the gates for the cavalry to enter, avoiding engaging with the Baimei Army’s formations, capitalizing on their own strengths to attack the enemy’s weaknesses.

Not long after the city was breached, Baimei General Mei Yu couldn’t immediately set up a large array inside the city; he simply couldn’t deploy the formation.

Once the cavalry spreads out, it would be the moment for Chen Ping to strike.

At this moment, the South City Gate suddenly burst open, and the Baimei Army cavalry charged in like the wind. The city erupted with a loud shout, the sound of hooves thundered, and cries and wails resonated everywhere.

Soon after, flames rose rapidly across, thick smoke billowed skyward, and in the midst of the clamor, everything seemed like hell.
