My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Chapter 167 Return to Central Plains

After the Huo family was defeated, only the Dian family's light cavalry were left on the battlefield to fight stubbornly.

The Dian family's light cavalry has always been famous for its strong mobility. They shuttled back and forth on the battlefield like a gust of wind, trying to disrupt the Yang family's army with flexible movements and rapid attacks and rescue the other three families.

However, after the previous series of fierce battles, the Dian family light cavalry was also showing signs of fatigue, but it still should not be underestimated.

Mu Zheng was well aware of the strength of the Dian family's light cavalry, and he also understood that if he could not quickly subdue them, once they recovered and organized an effective attack again, even if the Yang family army had gained an advantage in the front, it would most likely be dragged into a tough battle again.

"Although the Dian family cavalry is fast, they must be at the end of their strength at this moment. As long as we limit their mobility, we can defeat them. It should be feasible to take advantage of the advantages of our Yang family army's archers to blockade and attack them." Mu Zheng made a quick judgment in his mind and began to give orders without hesitation.

Mu Zheng quickly commanded the archers of the Yang family army to assemble and divided them into five columns, with about two hundred archers in each column. They were arranged in echelons on one side of the battlefield, occupying advantageous terrain.

This position has a wide field of view, can clearly observe the movements of the electric light cavalry, and has sufficient range coverage.

He shouted to the archers, "Brothers, whether we can achieve complete victory today depends on you! Follow my command, take turns shooting, and don't let the Dian cavalry take advantage!"

The archers all wore serious expressions, drawing their bows and arrows, ready for battle. Mu Zheng looked at the neat formation of the archers and prayed silently in his heart, "I hope this rain of arrows will work. The Dian family cavalry is not easy to deal with. It depends on whether this trick can trap them."

The Dian family's light cavalry had been holding back their energy when they saw the other three families being defeated one after another. Now, when they saw the Yang family's archers gathering, they thought of rushing over with their own speed, breaking through the archers' defense line and disrupting the Yang family's army's deployment.

Led by a general, they shouted and rushed towards the direction of the Yang family army archers.

However, how could Mu Zheng let them succeed so easily?

When the Dian family light cavalry entered the range of the Yang family army archers, Mu Zheng gave the order: "First row, shoot!"

The two hundred archers in the first row released their bowstrings at the same time, and the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" suddenly rang out. Dense arrows shot towards the Dian family light cavalry like a dark cloud.

Seeing this, the Dian family light cavalry hurriedly waved their weapons, trying to deflect the incoming arrows.

However, the rain of arrows from the Yang family army's archers was too dense. Although they tried their best to resist, many people were shot and fell off their horses. For a moment, the momentum of the charge was forcibly curbed.

Before the Dian family light cavalry could recover from the shock, Mu Zheng shouted, "Second row, shoot!" The archers in the second row shot another wave of arrows without hesitation, which caused the Dian family light cavalry to fall into another round of arrow rain attack.

They rushed left and right, trying to avoid the sharp arrows, but the archers of the Yang family army took turns shooting arrows, giving them no chance to breathe.

Mu Zheng watched the Dian family light cavalry struggling in the rain of arrows, and the tension in his heart relaxed a little. He thought, "Okay, that's it. Continue to suppress them and never let them break out."

The speed advantage of the Dian family's light cavalry could not be fully utilized under the continuous rain of arrows. Instead, people and horses were constantly injured, and the team began to become chaotic.

Some horses went mad after being hit by arrows, carrying their riders around, further exacerbating the chaos within the Dian family light cavalry.

As round after round of arrows rained down, the Dian family's light cavalry was trapped within the range of the Yang family's archers and suffered heavy losses.

At this time, Mu Zheng saw that the time had come and shouted: "The entire army will attack, fight them in close combat, and end this battle!" When the other soldiers of the Yang family army heard the order, they shouted and rushed towards the trapped Dian family light cavalry.

The Dian family light cavalry had long since lost their initial fighting spirit, and under the two-pronged attack of the Yang family army, they were quickly defeated. The surviving Dian family soldiers saw that the situation was hopeless and abandoned their armor and weapons, fleeing in all directions.

The soldiers of the Yang family army cheered. Looking at the corpses of the enemy soldiers lying all over the battlefield, their hearts were filled with joy of victory. At the same time, they admired Mu Zheng's wisdom and courage.

Afterwards, Mu Zheng was warmly welcomed into the Yang family army’s tent.

A sumptuous banquet was set up in the army. The soldiers sat together, drinking wine from large bowls and eating large pieces of meat. The atmosphere was very lively. Everyone toasted Mu Zheng and praised his heroic deeds.

Mu Zheng also had a pleasant chat with the soldiers, telling them about his experiences in the martial arts world, and bursts of laughter could be heard from the tent from time to time.

After three rounds of drinks, a man stood up and walked towards Mu Zheng.

This man was none other than the Yang family patriarch, Yang Diela's father. He solemnly addressed Mu Zheng, "Brother Mu Zheng, your kindness today will be forever unforgettable to us, the Yang family army. If you encounter any problems in the future, just send someone to let us know, and we, the Yang family army, will go through fire and water to help you, without hesitation!"

Mu Zheng's heart warmed, and he quickly said, "General Yang, you are too kind. I have fought alongside you all today, and I have long considered you all my brothers. However, I, Mu Zheng, will remember your kindness."

After staying in the Yang family army's camp for a few days, Mu Zheng and Li Cheng and others left the frontier.

"Brother, take care on your journey. I hope we can have a drink together again someday." Yang Jing patted Mu Zheng's shoulder and said.

Mu Zheng nodded, looking into the distance with a determined gaze, and said, "That day will come, General Yang. See you later!"

After saying that, he took a few of his companions, mounted their horses, and galloped towards the Central Plains.

"Han Zi, where are you planning to go?" Mu Zheng asked.

"Luoyang, Brother Mu, if you have nowhere to go, come with me. I also have brothers to introduce to you." Han Zi said.

"Luoyang?" Mu Zheng replied, "Okay, I'll go to Luoyang with you."

Along the way, they talked and laughed. Mu Zheng also asked a lot about Yunniang. When he learned that she was living well in Chang'an, he felt relieved.

Half a month later, several people appeared on the streets of Luoyang.

Although Mu Zheng had been mentally prepared beforehand, he was still surprised when he saw the chaotic Luoyang.

The world is in chaos.

The Green Forest Army has already captured the area south of the Yangtze River, and the northern region is also in constant conflict.

Mu Zheng subconsciously looked at Li Cheng, only to see that his face was gloomy: "I have to go back."

she says.

Mu Zheng nodded. She knew that when Li Cheng said "going back", he was not referring to Yecheng, but the imperial court.

"Mu Zheng, do you want to come with me?" Li Cheng sincerely hoped that Mu Zheng could go back with him to serve Wang Mang.

Mu Zheng shook his head: "I still have to go find my wife."

Li Cheng hummed, "I'm very happy to meet you. I hope we can meet again and drink and chat happily again when we meet again."

"Okay!" Mu Zheng responded readily. If possible, he didn't want to fight with Li Cheng.
