Chapter 1220

Fortunately, it seemed there were not many of these super long-range crossbows of the Qin people.

Otherwise, they would all likely have had to stay here.

The commander looked toward the direction of the Great Wall with some horror.

It would be difficult to explain things upon returning this time.

A group of people gathered around.

The look of fear on their faces had not yet faded.

"General, why can the Qin people's crossbows shoot so far?"

"So many people died in one go; we almost all died."

"These weapons are too terrifying! To think they can shoot so far!"

"To not die after this, we are also lucky!"

"Too terrifying, we completely did not expect it to be like this."

"We are in trouble this time; not only did we not complete the task the Touman Chanyu gave us, but we also lost so many people."

"I don't know how to explain it to the Touman Chanyu when we go back this time."

The cavalry whispered among themselves, looking like they had lost their souls.

Their gazes all looked toward that commander.

If the Touman Chanyu were to blame them, they might only have a dead end.

The most miserable was this commander.

He was the person in charge of this team; if something happened, he had to take responsibility.

Originally, they had two purposes for coming here.

One was thinking of tricking the Qin people into releasing the Xiongnu who had been captured before.

Another task was to come for peace talks.

Of course, this was just pretending to talk peace.

Even if the Qin people really talked peace, they would still have actions later.

If the Qin people could release the people, that would certainly be the best.

But even if the Qin people released the previous captives, they would still launch a war.

They just wanted to see if they could save some people before the war came.

Regardless of whether they could save the people back or not, the peace talks were just a smokescreen.

Even if Great Qin talked peace, they would still attack.

They would just think of ways to make the Qin people relax their vigilance, and then launch a strong attack later.

Who knew the Qin people would not buy this at all.

And they even killed so many of them in one go.

"Let's go back and report first."

"We can only say that we were careless."

The commander had a bitter face.

He was even too lazy to care about the horses around him.

Because he saw Qin cavalry rushing out from the direction of the Great Wall.

If they did not leave now, they would likely be completely wiped out.

He could only report this matter to the Touman Chanyu first and then make further plans.

If he went back, the Touman Chanyu might kill him to vent his anger.

But if he stayed and did not leave, the Qin people would kill him immediately.

The Xiongnu cavalry began to gallop their horses as if they did not want their lives.
