Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

While the western front collapsed and the army retreated, the war in the north was raging.

There were still the same densely packed groups of monsters and the same fearless Thousand Rocks Army, except that there were no huge city-defense crossbows but there were tens of thousands of tall horses.

The guards here are cavalrymen, the frontier general Xu Hongyi.

Liyue is mostly mountainous and dangerous, so the Thousand Rocks Army only had 30,000 cavalry out of its old 300,000-strong army. Now, after a decade of expansion and recruitment, the cavalry has increased to 50,000, which is already the maximum.

The reason is simple, there are not so many places to raise horses in Liyue.

Fifty thousand cavalrymen plus one hundred and fifty thousand infantrymen make an army of two hundred thousand. They are mighty and powerful, with their sharp spears pointed to the sky, and their momentum is like a divine rainbow.

At this moment, the cavalry was divided into small groups, each with a thousand men, led by a captain, and they charged forward bravely.

The horses, which were blindfolded for fear of being frightened, had no idea how many enemies were in front of them, or how ferocious they were. They just felt that the soldiers they were carrying seemed to be very nervous that day.

This was unprecedented. For who knows how many years, the Qianyan Army had raised war horses and there had never been a case of them going into battle blindfolded. And among all the extremely brave soldiers, apart from the nervous new recruits, who else would tremble on a war horse?

So, the horse, not understanding what was going on, could only snort continuously, not knowing whether it was scolding or comforting.

Monsters roared and soldiers were covered in blood, but they were still firing their guns until their death, or gathering elemental power to deliver a final blow. In an instant, colorful lights appeared, and then they were swallowed up by the endless stream of monsters.

Among the cavalry, General Xu Hongyi rode his horse with a spear in hand. A flash of fire appeared at the tip of the spear, and in an instant it stabbed out with force as big as a raging flame, burning several rock dragon lizards to ashes in one fell swoop.

Such means are indeed powerful, and such a general is indeed a role model in the army.

"Brothers of the Frontier Army, show your usual vigor in guarding the border. Don't take these monsters too seriously. We are the Thousand Rocks Army, and we are the frontier cavalry of the Thousand Rocks Army. Don't bring shame to your military rank. Kill!"

Xu Hongyi is the holder of the Eye of God, and his skills are beyond doubt, so the shout could sweep across half of the battlefield, emerging from the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground and monsters' roars.

The battle of cold weapons is a test of morale and bravery. After being shouted at by the famous and meritorious general above, he watched helplessly as his comrade-in-arms, who might have lived in the same tent, drank together, and had escaped death with him, died. The blood splattered on his armor and face, and it was extremely hot.

Inspired by such a situation, no matter how cowardly a man is, he will not be able to indulge himself any longer. Once a man's blood is aroused, it can be very terrifying.

"Fuck these bastards!"

"You monsters, you invaded my home and killed my comrades. I will... fight you!"

Such curses and shouts were heard from many cavalrymen, either to make their intentions clear or to boost their courage.

Many shouts echoed throughout the field, and then they died in a tragic, desolate, and heart-wrenching manner. Their blood splattered on the armor of their comrades around them, dripped on the monsters, and finally perhaps flowed to the ground, landing on the land that gave birth to them.

When the cavalrymen shouted loudly, there was one man who kept silent and stared ahead calmly and even indifferently. The moment the spear poked and retracted, a monster died.

There were not many people who fought silently like him without making any roar. It could be said that there were almost none, not even one out of a hundred.

This unknown cavalryman charged, drew his gun, turned his horse, and repeated this cycle over and over again, as if it was pre-planned and so precise that it could be described as a neat pattern. It was a unique sight on the chaotic battlefield filled with blood and fire.

However, war will not change because of the strength of one person, nor will it stop and watch because of a person's extraordinary skills. In fact, if this war was not a battle between humans and monsters, but a battle between humans, I am afraid that the nameless cavalryman would have been listed as a key target by now, and would have died or been seriously injured. In short, he would not have a good ending.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. This is also true when fighting monsters, but monsters are not humans after all, so we cannot completely follow the logic.

It was unknown how much time had passed, or how many monsters had been killed, or how big or small they were, but the knuckles of the cavalryman's hands were cracked and blood was flowing.

His left shoulder was pierced by an arrow and was stuck between the bones. Although he remained calm every time he pulled on it, it was still shocking to see, as if one could feel the endless agony and severe pain of his wound.

In addition, the armor on the cavalryman's abdomen had been dented, squeezing his internal organs and bones, and bleeding continuously. This was caused by a brush with the fist of a hillock helmet man.

If that punch had hit, the cavalryman would have exploded and died.

The battlefield is full of dangers.

The force of the gun coming out was like a sudden thunder, and the force of the gun coming back was like a dancing dragon. In this constant fighting, all the monsters were destroyed, and he also reached his limit. The scene in front of him gradually became blurred and dim.

I can’t see clearly…

The cavalryman remained calm, feeling his vitality draining away and the unknown object coming through the wind and about to hit his head, so he fired the last shot of his life.

The gun came out and stabbed the monster to death. Then with a bang, he was smashed to pieces by the huge axe, and he and the horse under his crotch turned into a pile of rotten meat and bones, and stayed on this battlefield forever.

Not only him, but also thousands of unknown but registered Thousand Rock soldiers died here, building a high wall for the residents and their families in Liyue Harbor.

……

To the east of Liyue Harbor is the vast ocean, with naval ships standing in rows and iron chains linked together. Since there are fewer sea monsters on the continent of Teyvat, this place is relatively calm and can be stopped by simply firing a few continuous cannon shots from the ships.

Therefore, the old general who was defending this place could only sigh and say that the commander had assigned him to this remote place, which was a waste of his talent. He had a lot of complaints, but he had no place to express them.

The big sister Beidou, who also has command authority, is not in the cabin, but is at the bow, enjoying the sea breeze.

Amid the roar of cannons, there was an inconspicuous ship with a team of inconspicuous sailors and Qianyan Army on board. They lit the fuse behind the ship's cannons. Due to the weakness of the enemy, they no longer had the previous tension and chatted casually.

"Xiao Su, is your wife really as gentle and considerate as you say?"

"Of course not! She is the most gentle and virtuous woman in Liyue!"

The person asking the question was a rough man, and the person answering was a handsome young man.

"Brothers, we'll go to your house to have a drink after this battle. Will it be fun?"

"Don't let someone twist your ear and sell out all of us, and end up being a nobody."

"Don't worry, she won't. Besides... at worst we can just go outside and have a drink. It's a different experience to drink under the cool breeze and bright moon."

This remark caused everyone to laugh. They said that they had originally thought that this boy was a tough man who was not afraid of his wife, but who would have thought that he was just a tough guy in words but slid to his knees faster than a weakling.

Of course, no one suspected that this kid was joking. Who among the teenagers from Liyue Harbor was still single? How unpopular would that person be?

The boy's surname is Su, a surname that indicates a prominent figure.

The three Su brothers in the early years and the commander-in-chief Su Ping in recent years all have the surname Su.

Since this boy's name is Su Bin, he will definitely become a big shot in the future. Everyone in the team joked like this.

Some people also speculated whether this person was related to Commander Su, but in the end the young man denied it. He bluntly said that Commander Su was as noble as a fairy in the clouds, and he, Su Bin, was just a peasant, so how could he be related to him? Only then did everyone stop speculating.

Fortunately, not many of these people read books, and they didn’t know that in a book written by Commander Su in his early years, the protagonist was called Su Bin, and he was called Su Bin, and he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, similar to Su Yunqing, the son of the Commander’s family...

Su Bin is actually Su Yunqing. He responded to his father's request and joined the front line, but he had no intention of revealing his true identity, so he used a pseudonym.

As for proof of identity, it would be very easy for a warlord and a spy chief in their family to get such proof.

Therefore, Su Yunqing easily entered the military camp under the name of Su Bin and was sent to the East China Sea Navy fleet to perform defense work.

Anyway, not many people have seen him. In addition, he changed his eyebrows and raised the corners of his eyes. The originally handsome boy became ordinary in an instant. He was inconspicuous in a crowd. Who could recognize him?

Su Yunqing was joking around with everyone in the team, and from time to time he would look back, gazing at a place in the distance that was actually invisible but seemed to be right in front of him.

……

Halfway up the Tianheng Mountain, there was a platform with seven people sitting on it. They were the seven most powerful stars among the Liyue people.

The way big shots think is different from that of ordinary people. They build a stage and sit there, isn't it that they share life and death with the military and civilians?

In fact, it is true, because once the front line is broken, unless you fly into the clouds, you will die wherever you go. Qixing does this to stabilize the morale of the army.

As for asking them to go into battle and kill the enemy... I'm sorry, more than half of the Seven Stars are clerks, and the strongest one is now useless. What else can they do except sit here and show their loyalty?

Tianshuxing drank the tea that had been changed several times, and said angrily: "Su kid, it's fine for everyone to sit here, after all, this is a result of everyone's vote, but you still arranged for the Qianyan Army to stand here and didn't let us carry knives and swords. What are you afraid of?"

Su Ping said calmly: "I was afraid that you would witness too many casualties among the soldiers, so I couldn't help but take a knife and kill the enemy myself, leaving me alone here bored, so please bear with me."

Yuhengxing Keqing smiled bitterly and said, "You said you were defending against everyone, but actually you were mainly defending against me, right?"

Su Ping remained silent.

Someone knows that this is the case, and that person is Ningguang, the white-haired Tianquan Star. She stares at the man with whom she will grow old together with her peach blossom eyes. I wonder what she is thinking...
