Clearly, Suthers's soldiers had not anticipated the side assault by a cavalry unit from Northern Ridge.
Similarly, they had not recognized these cavalrymen as belonging to Northern Ridge—Tang Mo's cavalry uniform was also uniquely styled and colored a dim green-gray, just like his infantry.
Of course, no one had seen such attire before, so the Suthers infantrymen sitting on the ground to rest first regarded these sudden strangers with curious stares.
However, it wasn't long before in their eyes, these strangers began charging towards them, showing no sign of slowing down.
Tang Mo knew that retreating to destroy those cannons might have been safer, but that would cause him to miss the fleeting opportunity of battle.
To launch an attack amidst the chaos and disrupt the entire battlefield as much as possible was the only way to achieve a greater victory—of course, it could also lead to the annihilation of his forces.
