Chapter 1440

Dense arrows flew toward the Xiongnu camp on the Northern Desert.

Like a swarm of locusts.

Stirring up sand that filled the sky.

"Boom!"

When the arrows struck the great tent.

The entire Northern Desert army was thrown to the ground.

And the leading man's eyes bulged with rage.

He had not expected that there were still experts within the Han.

But when he looked up.

He saw a figure walking slowly forward.

It was none other than the Han's Ninth Imperial Uncle.

Everyone knew that he and Yuchi Gong had once attacked the Xiongnu Wang Ting together.

But no one expected that this Han King would personally come to the Northern Desert camp.

And at this moment, Yuchi Gong recognized the newcomer.

However, immediately after, he became surprised.

Because this was Xia Yu.

There was no expression on the other's face.

But that relentless momentum made Yuchi Gong know.

The youth before him was definitely a fierce man.

Although he did not believe that in this life Xia Yu would truly become a generation-defining warlord, now, a sliver of hope arose within him.

Because if someone came to rescue.

Perhaps the Han still had a chance.

And at this moment, Xia Yu paid no attention to the crowd.

Looking at that Northern Desert Han general, he shouted.

"Yuchi Gong, this is your family matter; I should not interfere.

Today, my Han only wants the lives of these Xiongnu!"

After his voice fell.

He darted toward the distance.

He did not wish to involve himself in such matters; after all, it was Yuchi Gong's private affair.

But these Xiongnu had indeed touched Xia Yu's bottom line.

He did not care who the other was; if they dared to harm his subjects, they must pay the price.

And at this moment, Yuchi Gong felt somewhat aggrieved.

He wanted to explain, but he could not bring himself to save face.

However, at this moment, he could not worry about such things.

He roared angrily at his subordinates.

"Follow me, the Marshal, and charge in!"

Then, he directly charged into the great tent.

And the Northern Desert commander had not expected that the Han's fierce general would switch sides to his faction at this moment.

A feeling of joy rose in his heart.

However, more than that, he felt angry and ashamed.

"Get out!"

He directly swung his sword to strike.

Blazing sword light exploded the space around them.

"Bang!"

Yuchi Gong's great blade blocked horizontally.

He actually clashed head-on with this Xiongnu Han leader.

The two figures separated in an instant.

Shock appeared in Yuchi Gong's eyes.

Because the martial valor of this Han exceeded his expectations.

On the other side, Xia Yu also noticed the situation here.

Solemnity appeared in his eyes, and he spoke slowly to those behind him.

"Stop them for this King!"

The barbarian cavalry on the Northern Desert were far stronger than ordinary armies.

Therefore, naturally, they could not be allowed to continue rampaging.

After hearing the voice, within the army behind.

A unit of troops leaped out.

Charging toward the battlefield.

Every figure was extremely burly.

They wore armor and held curved blades.

Upon approaching, they swung without hesitation.

"Ding!"

The bowstring vibrated.

That burly man, unable to dodge in time, was struck instantly.

His entire chest was pierced through in an instant.

"Puchi!"

Crimson blood sprayed across the entire heaven and earth.

Causing everyone's pupils to involuntarily contract.

They simply could not comprehend why these burly men possessed such terrifying crossbow carts.

One must know, this thing only existed near Nanyang City.

Yet now, it had actually appeared in Northern Liang.

How could this not astonish them?

Not only them.

Even on Yuchi Gong's face, a hint of doubt flashed.

Afterwards, Xia Yu spoke out again, shouting.

"Everyone, charge out! On the way, anyone you meet who is a Xiongnu, kill without mercy!"

Xia Yu's voice was filled with a violent aura.

As soon as his words ended, a crossbow cart beside him sounded a whining noise once more.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

This rain of arrows was even more ferocious.

In the blink of an eye, it enveloped hundreds of Xiongnu soldiers.

And these were the Han's most elite Iron-Blood Guards.

Their strength was a notch higher than ordinary soldiers, and their coordination was perfect.

Especially that crossbow bed, its power was even more ruthless.

"Ahhh~~~"

Screams rang out instantly; the Xiongnu were shot dead by the crossbow bolts in large numbers.

Even Yuchi Gong nearly fell victim.

All of this, seen in the eyes of that Xiongnu Grand General, made him wish to eat Xia Yu alive.

However, he also knew that if he did not stop them.

Yuchi Gong would likely not hold out for long.

And just as he prepared to issue an order to dispatch cavalry to intercept and kill.
