The player combat formation to the south was continually pressed forward by the demonic troops, a combined force of Northern Barbarian cavalry and Eastern Yi bandits.
Flying Swallow arranged the Northern Barbarian cavalry in the central position, breaking through with heavy cavalry as the vanguard, while light cavalry coordinated on both flanks. As for those Eastern Yi bandits, they would seize every opening, swarming into the breaches made by the Northern Barbarian cavalry, wielding their Yi swords and slashing wildly through the player formations.
These Eastern Yi bandits were among the more troublesome enemies the players had encountered in the early stages, with their Yi swords being especially sharp. When facing players only equipped with cloth armor and inferior spears, dealing with them was quite difficult; a confrontation often resulted in players being cut down immediately.
Only elite fighters like Zhao Haiping could hold their own against the bandits' elites.
