A thousand light cavalry crossbowmen aimed at the sky. Countless arrows whistled as they shot out, seemingly about to break through the heavens, then quickly descended under the billowing black clouds, striking the heavy shields of the Nanrong soldiers with such force that it nearly knocked down the shield-bearers.

The light cavalry crossbowmen did not need precision but rather speed, and the ability to fire thousands of arrows to force the enemy to retreat and hesitate from advancing.
Bai Qingyan and Dong Changlan were both clear on their mission: they were here to rescue, not to fight. As long as they could bring Princess Mingcheng of Yan back to Dengzhou City, that would suffice. Hence, they only brought elite light cavalry for a quick snatch and escape.
