"How could this happen!" Sun Yan rolled off his horse in disbelief, looking at the scene before him where fifteen hundred Iron Cavalry could be thrown into such disarray by an accident, causing the vanguard to collapse and be forced into an infantry skirmish.
"Spread out!" Li Hu roared, knowing the formidable impact force of the Xiliang Soldiers made the act of reining in their horses utterly useless within the short distance of less than ten zhang, and the troops behind had no time to react before crashing into the chaotic ranks in front of them.
At that moment, the second row Vanguard Death Soldiers who had acted first discarded their Small Round Shields, grasped their Great Swords with both hands, stepped onto the horse carcasses, and, using the corpses as platforms, burst forth with their strength, leaping high into the air and slashing fiercely at the opposing Xiliang Iron Cavalry like tigers pouncing on their prey.
