My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 29 Kill! kill! kill!

The one who comes is not kind.

Gao Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at the group of people in front of him, which numbered about thirty or forty riders.

No, buddy?

Are these people out of their minds?
Gao Yu led his men out hunting and training, all of them fully armored and carrying bows. How dare they rob them?

"Can't you understand me? Put down your valuables and I'll spare your lives."

The leader urged them again.

They spoke Mandarin, but the accent was different from that of the local Han Chinese in Huai Shuo, so they were obviously from elsewhere.

Upon closer inspection, Gao Yu noticed that although they were all wearing armor, their clothes and armor were spotless, with no obvious scratches on the armor plates and not even a speck of mud on their clothes. Where would ordinary bandits get such clean clothes and armor?

Even more outrageous is that more than half of the people didn't even wind their bows.

So you're robbing banks by not using magazines on your guns, just gesturing to scare people, right?

Gao Yu can make that conclusion.

The group of people blocking the road, pretending to be bandits, had escaped from the Northern Expeditionary Army camp. Only a group of people from the prosperous land of Luoyang could be dressed in such fine armor.

As for why soldiers would become robbers? Isn't that obvious?

Looting is the norm; not looting is a rare occurrence in historical records.

Before Gao Yu could speak, the caravan leader revealed his identity.

"This is the Lou family caravan. I advise you all not to be presumptuous and to leave immediately, as if this never happened."

"Hahaha."

The opposing cavalrymen sneered, and their leader was extremely contemptuous, "What kind of bullshit Lou family? Never heard of them. Even if the Zheng, Li, or Cui families came, they would have to leave their valuables behind today!"

"What if we don't stay?"

Hou Jing quietly approached Gao Yu's side, diverting his attention with words before whispering a reminder, "Mo Hedu, there are only thirty or forty riders on the other side, yet they dare to block our way. Could it be a trap?"

Gao Yu had also been wondering about this.

The other party drew his broadsword directly from his waist and threatened in a stern voice, "Want to taste the sharpness of my blade?"

The sky, which had been clear, was suddenly obscured by a cloud that drifted in from nowhere.

The atmosphere of confrontation between the two sides has become extremely tense!
Gao Yu and Hou Jing exchanged a glance and drew their bows and shot arrows at lightning speed!

shhhhh!

Two arrows flew out and struck the leader and the man beside him in the neck.
At such close range, the arrow pierced the other man's neck. Both men stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a sound, and fell from their horses!
"A lieutenant!"

The people opposite stared in horror and astonishment at the fallen Yamen lieutenant general, who was covered in blood!
Gao Yu almost laughed when he saw this.

As the soldiers of the central army guarding the capital, they should be the most elite armed force of the Great Wei, but they reacted like this when something happened.
Instead of retaliating immediately, they focused all their attention on the dead bodies?
They'd be nothing but a bunch of suicides on the battlefield.

Has the military preparedness in Luoyang fallen into such a state of disrepair?
shhhhhh!
Gao Yu fired three more arrows in quick succession, each one hitting the neck precisely, taking down three more people!

Mulan, Liu Yi, and others reacted extremely quickly, drawing their bows and shooting arrows as well – this is the kind of reaction soldiers should have!
Gao Yu made his move ahead of time because he had seen a group of people rapidly approaching him. He didn't know their numbers, but they were all infantry!

No wonder this group of thirty or forty riders dared to block the road directly, but didn't attack directly.

So they're just playing a delaying tactic?

"Kill! These bandits are impersonating central army soldiers to plunder!"

After firing another arrow, Gao Yu drew his ring-pommel sword from his waist, let out a loud shout, and led the charge!
"kill!!"

Those who accompanied Gao Yu on this hunting and training trip were all elite soldiers from his unit, each with a voice as loud as thunder. They all roared fiercely, drew their ring-pommel swords, and charged forward!

Just now, a round of archery had already taken down many of the enemy's men. Even so, the group of soldiers blocking the way were still in shock, standing there dumbfounded, clearly having completely lost their ability to think and were terrified!
They were used to being arrogant in Luoyang and had not experienced war for a long time. They had never seen such a scene before.

They are so different from the border town soldiers who live on the edge of death every day, begging for a living!

Gao Yu charged forward on his horse, reaching his opponent in the blink of an eye. Wielding his sword with both hands, he unleashed a devastating blow, the immense force of the impact combined with his incredible strength, and with a single stroke, he beheaded the man on horseback!

Pfft!

A head fell to the ground, and a column of blood shot skyward from the headless corpse!
Gao Yu was instantly sprayed with blood, but after three years of continuous raiding, he was no longer the novice who would be so scared that he couldn't hold a knife and would vomit when he saw a dead person!
The smell of blood filled his nostrils, which only further stimulated his most primal instincts!
"kill!!"

The remaining survivors of the central army, seeing Gao Yu with his face covered in blood but an excited expression, were terrified as if they had seen a ghost or god. Their fear spread rapidly.

What a divine power.

He beheaded the man with a single stroke!
Two of the more timid ones were so frightened that they fell off their horses, their crotches soaked, and they scrambled and ran away crying!

"Ahhhh!!!"

They came with caravans to plunder and freeload, not to die!
Gao Yu wouldn't let them get away with it. He swung his ring-pommel sword left and right, killing two more people!
Hou Jing was not to be outdone; he swung his blade repeatedly toward the heads!

It was just a single, fleeting attack!

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of the thirty or forty riders blocking the road fell from their horses, all with arrows in their faces and necks, bleeding profusely, clearly not going to live. Several others were even thrown off by their frightened horses and couldn't get up for a while. The remaining dozen or so riders reacted, their faces filled with terror, and quickly spurred their horses and fled.

Gao Yu didn't bother with the fleeing cavalry; if they really wanted to escape, his small force wouldn't be able to stop them.

"Wan Jing, Mu Lan, follow me and continue charging at the distant infantry! Do not linger in battle!"

Everything here happened so suddenly!!

The approaching infantrymen were also completely bewildered.

This isn't what I imagined.

They were supposed to easily take over the caravan and then kill everyone to cover their tracks after their ambush.

The leading lieutenant and his men were just killed like that?

Gao Yu was followed by only seven or eight riders, but none of these fifty or sixty infantrymen dared to resist.

Seeing Gao Yu and his men charging towards them on horseback.

They were so frightened that they turned and ran away!

Gao Yu killed another person with a single strike.

Now that we've already started!

Even if you don't resist, you'll still die.

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

Every time Mulan and the others swung their swords, they shouted along with Gao Yu, their voices like thunder, terrifying the infantrymen so much that they dropped their weapons and turned to run away, fearing that if they were too slow, they would become victims of Gao Yu's blade.

The group was like wolves among sheep, engaging in a near-one-sided massacre!
A single charge was enough to turn them into a rout.

The Lou family caravan was completely dumbfounded.

The team leader stood there stunned, watching Gao Yu continuously slaughtering infantrymen in the distance, and murmured to himself.

"How...how valiant! Even if a god or spirit descended to earth, they would not be more than this."
