Chapter 350
Some still thought it wasn't them!
But... looking at their appearance, it felt extremely similar!
Indeed!
Everyone wore black clothes and black trousers, with black gauze wrapped around their heads!
They even covered their faces with black cloth, leaving only their eyes exposed!
Moreover, their numbers were few, totaling only eighteen people!
Furthermore, every one of them rode tall horses, carried long bows on their backs, and wore crescent-bladed knives at their waists!
They were exactly the same as the eighteen people seen during the great battle against Li Yuanba in the swamp back then!
"The Eighteen Riders of Yan and Yun!"
"It really is the Eighteen Riders of Yan and Yun!"
Once their identities were confirmed, horror filled the faces of everyone!
Everyone's heads buzzed with noise!
However, just as all of them were somewhat confused and at a loss, suddenly, extremely urgent hoofbeats and shouts came from behind!
"Han Xin's army!"
"Han Xin's army is almost here!"
"They are less than twenty li away from this place!"
"What?"
"What?"
The moment those words were spoken, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and Fan Zeng were utterly stunned!
When they had just arrived at the snow mountain earlier, wasn't it said they were still about eighty li away?
Why are they now only twenty li away?
They were terrified and trembling with fear!
However, this was not yet over!
Just as that person finished reporting, suddenly, a black lightning bolt charged straight at everyone!
With just one hammer strike, Boom—, a tremendous crash, the messenger who came to report was smashed into minced meat, person and horse together!
"Li... Li Yuanba!"
"Run!"
"Run!"
In that moment, everyone was terrified, everyone screamed!
They began to flee like madmen, all of them rushing quickly toward the peak of the snow mountain!
But... how could it be that easy!
The Eighteen Riders of Yan and Yun on the mountain at this very moment had only one task: to roll snowballs down the mountain!
And stones and such!
In that instant, countless stones, dense as a swarm, crashed down upon the crowd below!
Originally, climbing the snow mountain was already difficult, extremely arduous!
Now, with such snowballs and stones rolling down, how could they possibly climb!
But... they had no choice but to climb, for behind them was Li Yuanba, like a mad demon!
He was like a living meat grinder, swinging his great hammer and smashing fiercely!
In just this short while, over a hundred people had already died beneath his hammer!
Moreover, he was still slaughtering!
Boom, boom, boom!
The great hammer smashed fiercely; every swing of the hammer took a life!
And under such a slaughter, almost everyone had lost all hope.
Fortunately, Fan Zeng issued orders at the critical moment!
"Scatter!"
"Do not cluster together!"
"Everyone, disperse and flee!"
"Some go pursue the Eighteen Riders of Yan and Yun on the mountain; others stay to block Li Yuanba!"
"The rest, follow me, follow me to the peak from that side!"
Fan Zeng shouted loudly, taking command!
But his voice was ultimately too faint.
In the end, it was Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu who commanded the messengers to convey the royal order!
Leave one hundred thousand troops to block Li Yuanba!
Leave ten thousand to climb the mountain and eliminate the Eighteen Riders of Yan and Yun!
All the rest, follow Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and Fan Zeng, climbing toward the other side!
They must reach the head of the Eighteen Riders of Yan and Yun at the very first opportunity!
Everyone was in motion!
And under such command, the crowd finally ceased to be chaotic!
Everyone climbed toward the peak in orderly fashion!
And those ten thousand went to find a way to kill the Eighteen Riders of Yan and Yun!
But... how to put it?
Difficult!
Originally, the Wu Gong of these eighteen people was ridiculously high, far beyond comparison with ordinary people!
Moreover, this was even with the advantage of terrain!
Snowballs, and stone blocks, were raining down as if they cost nothing!
There were even bows and arrows!
Every shot hit its mark!
With every arrow loosed, it was aimed straight for people's heads and throats!
Ten thousand people climbed upward for a long time, yet made not an inch of progress!
But fortunately, they had bows and arrows, and the grassland people were skilled in mounted archery!
Under the suppression of the arrows, the situation was temporarily stalled!
But this stalemate merely slowed the rate at which the ten thousand people died!
To climb up and kill these eighteen people was still an overwhelmingly difficult task!
The situation on this side was at a stalemate!
But over with Li Yuanba, it was purely a massacre!
In fact, the moment Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu issued such a military order!
They all knew their fate!
It was death!
But... facing Li Yuanba at that moment, no one retreated, no one feared battle!
Everyone charged recklessly toward Li Yuanba, disregarding their own lives!
Everything was done to buy time for Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and the millions of Xiongnu people to escape!
Li Yuanba understood all this, but... he could not stop it in that instant.
One hundred thousand people blocked his path in a vast, surging mass; what could he do?
Kill them all!
What else could he do?
At that moment, the heavy wolf-tooth weapon smashed down fiercely!
With every hammer strike, people were crushed into meat paste!
Under such relentless, frenzied smashing, in just over two hours, all one hundred thousand people before him were smashed to death!
On the ground, there was nothing but flesh and blood!
But even so, it was not over!
