The Human Emperor (200-400)

C356: Last Operation!

Hong long!

In an instant, the Great Tang cavalrymen who were charging for Iron Cloak Li abruptly scattered in all directions.

Every single one of them chose a different direction, and even Wang Chong was fleeing frantically as well.

This abrupt scene left everyone dumbfounded.

"They are escaping! Don't allow them to escape!"

"Block their path of escape!"

"Great job, chief!"...

The highwaymen shouted excitedly. Their chief was truly strong, as expected of him!

Those cavalrymen had slaughtered many of their brothers, and even Hu Lang had fallen at their hands. Yet, the chief single-handedly destroyed them and sent them fleeing.

He was indeed incredible!

"Brothers, we have to speed up! We have to help chief clear them up!"

The highwaymen immediately felt their bloodthirst flaring.

As highwaymen, they weren't as disciplined as military soldiers. Thus, in the face of trouble, they would find their morale plummeting easily, and they were more prone to giving up as well. But on the other hand, if they perceived themselves to be in the upper hand, their ferocity and fighting prowess would be amplified.

"Kill them!"

Deafening shouts shook the forest as the highwaymen picked up their pace.

"Hmph. It seems like those fellows still have their uses!" Iron Cloak Li gazed at the highwaymen and bandits rushing in from all directions, and his tightly-knitted brow finally soothed slightly.

He turned his gaze to the fleeing cavalrymen and sneered coldly. To only think about escaping now, wasn't it too late for that?

Hu Lang might have gauged the prowess of the enemy inaccurately, resulting in their tragic loss, but there was one thing he did right.

He had sent thirty elites to block Wang Chong's escape road.

Those cavalrymen had nowhere to escape to.

Weng!

Just as Iron Cloak Li was about to join the pursuit himself, an abrupt change occurred. Before everyone's shocked gazes, the escaping cavalrymen suddenly turned around and charged at Iron Cloak Li.

Hong long long!

In an instant, the thirty cavalrymen had reached the peak of their speed.

Not only so, the formation of the thirty cavalrymen also swiftly changed in the midst of their charge. The seemingly chaotic positioning was gradually unfolding into a clear echelon formation.

Taking a closer look, there were eight rows, each with a slightly different number of people.

Even Wang Chong himself had joined the formation so as to compensate for the loss of manpower.

"What is going on?"

"What are they trying to do?"

The highwaymen were stunned. They thought that Wang Chong and the others were fleeing out of fear of their chief, so they had focused their efforts on tightening their encirclement and preventing them from escaping.

But who could have thought that they would actually make a turnaround all of a sudden and charge back in?

"What are you waiting for? They are attempting to kill chief! Hurry up and stop them!" A loud bellow shattered the momentary silence. Chang Dao whipped his steed furiously as he sped forward furiously.
