Including Qin Liancheng, the four riders did not charge forward recklessly like the earlier two. Instead, after riding up to a certain distance, three of them dismounted, leaving Qin Liancheng alone on horseback, holding his lance.
Among martial artists, mortal combat generally favors fighting on foot over horseback, except for a very few exceptions. Indeed, even in historical records of two nations at war, there are accounts of heavily armored cavalry dismounting to fight on foot after reaching a suitable distance.
Sitting high on horseback, Qin Liancheng looked down at the mysterious figure. Seeing her wearing the Feathered Fishes uniform, he recognized her as a member of the court's secret police, the Jinyiwei. Though unsure if she was sent by the court as a scout, one certainty remained: the Qin family, rulers over their land, had always been regarded as fierce beasts in the eyes of the court.
The three dismounted valiant riders had already begun their attack.
