He stared blankly at the golden eagle falling not far away, then turned to look at Chu Zhiyuan.
He never expected that there would be such a miraculous skill in the world, that a hidden weapon could be shot so far, and still have such power at this distance.
The golden eagle was no ordinary eagle; its speed was extremely fast, and arrows could not penetrate its golden feathers.
Yet now, it couldn't withstand a hidden weapon from such a distance.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it impossible.
Inconceivable.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at the golden eagle: "This time, their target is probably you, General Li!"
Zou Fang stepped forward, retrieved the Day Saber, carefully wiped it clean, and returned it to Chu Zhiyuan.
Li Haoyuan sighed: "My hatred with the Great Meng is as deep as the sea; how could they let me go!"
Did you expect them to intercept us on the way?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
Li Haoyuan shook his head: "I originally thought they would kill me in prison after I was convicted, without anyone knowing."
"They can kill people in our Yujing prison?"
"People die in Yujing's prison every day."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "The Great Meng's reach in our Yujing is this long?"
Li Haoyuan said: "Your Highness, the Great Meng's tentacles in our Yujing are longer than you think; you must be careful."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Besides the prison, what else is there?"
Li Haoyuan said in a deep voice: "There must be secret agents of the Great Meng in the prison, and there are probably secret agents in various departments as well."
Chu Zhiyuan was dubious.
Li Haoyuan said: "As far as I know, the Great Meng values information gathering the most, and secret agents the most.
They often plan for the long term, twenty or thirty years, rather than seeking quick results, so it's impossible to guard against."
Chu Zhiyuan fell silent.
If that was the case, then it was indeed very troublesome.
Twenty or thirty years, even entering as a child, growing up step by step, there would be almost no flaws.
If someone came to a small mountain village from a young age, and then came out after growing up, entering the city or joining some sects, it would be almost impossible to figure out whether he was a Great Meng person or not.
What's more, there were still some protectors who existed, making it even more impossible to guard against.
Thinking of this, his mood became inexplicably heavy.
Li Haoyuan was quite surprised when he saw that he no longer spoke.
Chu Zhiyuan didn't continue to ask, but instead said: "Does the Surveillance Department know about this?"
"Of course, they know."
Li Haoyuan said: "But what can they do even if they know?
They can't do anything about it."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "We can only use their methods against them."
Li Haoyuan sighed: "Our Great Jing officials are eager to get promoted, seeking quick success and instant benefits, and don't want to do this kind of thing."
The predecessors plant the trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade, doing wedding clothes for others.
This kind of thing is difficult to do in Great Jing; no one would be so stupid, considering themselves more than the court and others.
"Most of the Great Meng officials are hereditary."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Isn't that the root of the problem?"
Li Haoyuan clapped his hands and laughed: "Your Highness has good insight!"
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand: "This difference only leads to different styles of doing things.
Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
Their hereditary and lifelong official positions have the advantage of long-term actions, and major events can be slowly promoted, but the disadvantage is that they are prone to decay."
He didn't think it was any insight.
In his previous life, it was just basic common sense,
Li Haoyuan was stunned.
As soon as Chu Zhiyuan gave the order, the experts of the Prince's Mansion naturally obeyed without any violation, and the two eunuchs didn't say anything, and immediately busied themselves.
Li Haoyuan looked at Chu Zhiyuan in confusion.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "General Li, guess what we are going to do."
Li Haoyuan frowned: "Now that the golden eagle has been shot down, the Great Meng cavalry who came to intercept us should not be able to find us, so why not speed up and leave?"
He then said: "They may not be able to catch up with us, but we stopped… … … …"
He was thoughtful.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at him with a smile.
After a while, Li Haoyuan slowly said: "Your Highness, this can't be a plan, right?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Which plan?"
"Could it be that Your Highness is using us as bait?"
"As expected of Commander Li!" Chu Zhiyuan clapped his hands in admiration.
Li Haoyuan was able to react so quickly.
It seemed that Li Haoyuan's position as commander was not obtained by luck, but was indeed the real deal.
It was no fluke to be able to stand in the Northern Border for decades.
Unfortunately, he still suffered a crushing defeat and lost Fuyuan Town.
This further showed the power of the Great Meng.
Li Haoyuan looked in the direction of Gaoling Town, but didn't see any soldiers and horses coming.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Not in that direction."
Li Haoyuan was stunned and turned to look south: "Ambush in front?"
"Otherwise, how could we hide it from the Cloud-Treading Iron Cavalry?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Li Haoyuan sighed: "This is Prince Ying's method, right?"
"I guess so."
Chu Zhiyuan said.
This was actually his suggestion last night before parting.
Chu Mingrui readily agreed and fully cooperated, sending more than two hundred personal soldiers to ambush fifteen miles south under the cover of night.
Once Chu Zhiyuan sent a signal, these personal guards would rush out.
These personal guards had all undergone Chu Zhiyuan's training, and the Thunder Spear Formation had already been practiced, and in the future, they only needed to continue to familiarize themselves with it.
As the familiarity deepened, its power would become stronger and stronger.
The stronger the power, the more carefully they would practice, and the more carefully they practiced, the stronger the power would be, forming a positive cycle.
He could imagine that the Thunder Spear Formation would soon become famous, and the prestige of the Thunder Spear Iron Cavalry would soon resound throughout the world.
With this relationship, although Chu Zhiyuan was not the commander and didn't have a tiger tally, he could still command these people, thus forming a tacit cooperation.
Everyone set up camp, and even built a large camp.
Chu Zhiyuan then asked the guards of the Prince's Mansion to practice the Four Symbols Soul-Slaying Formation on the cleared space.
Liang Guanjie and the other five quickly returned and entered the formation.
Chu Zhiyuan quickly spat out sentences, pointing them out one by one.
These guards of the Prince's Mansion were all intelligent people, otherwise they would not have had the opportunity to enter the Prince's Mansion to be guards.
Under Chu Zhiyuan's guidance, they had already entered the door last night.
Li Haoyuan was stunned again.
He didn't expect Chu Zhiyuan to be so proficient in formations, to have such brilliant eyesight, and such amazing predictions.
Often correcting them in advance before they made mistakes, thus avoiding mistakes and allowing the formation to quickly take shape.
Normally speaking, it would take several years for a new formation to take its initial shape, but under his guidance, it only took half an hour.
Chu Zhiyuan suddenly turned his head to look northeast and said lightly: "Here they come!"
He looked south again and nodded with satisfaction.
Li Haoyuan had already seen a group of small black dots appearing in the south, which were the Wind-Chasing Iron Cavalry.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his voice and said: "Cheer up, set up the formation, and prepare to meet the enemy!"
A rare opportunity to make merit is right in front of you, let's see if you can seize it!"
Everyone was a little panicked, like students who were about to take an exam before they had finished reviewing.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "What's the panic?
Set up the formation and follow me to charge!"
The Cloud-Treading Iron Cavalry is nothing more than this!"
He sighed secretly: Martial arts experts are indeed a rabble.
Even the disciplined guards of the Prince's Mansion were far inferior to the performance of Chu Mingrui's personal soldiers.
The ground vibrated slightly.
The Cloud-Treading Iron Cavalry, a thousand meters away, began to slowly accelerate, but not too much, showing full experience.
Chu Zhiyuan directed the guards to help them set up the formation.
He didn't let Li Haoyuan's personal soldiers participate.
These personal soldiers coldly drew their swords, protected Li Haoyuan inside, formed a formation, pointed at the approaching Cloud-Treading Iron Cavalry, and looked calm.
"Charge, follow me to charge!" Chu Zhiyuan shouted: "No matter what time it is, you must maintain the formation.
The power of the formation will protect you, and you don't have to pay attention to these people charging!"
His voice was gentle and calm, soothing their excited and nervous emotions, quickly calming them down, and starting to focus on their own positions.
Chu Zhiyuan rode his horse slowly in front, while accelerating and directing the guards one by one, always pointing out where a guard was wrong and where he needed to pay attention.
As the formation operated, power began to descend in the void.
As seen by his extrasensory perception, a surging force descended in the void, and Chu Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction.
