Chapter 1334: Gao Yang arrives, this matter seems not small

~4 min read 745 words

In an instant, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle again.

Wang Xiao's eyes were also red with blood, and he fought with all his might.

In this battle, both sides were red-eyed, unfolding a fierce struggle toward one direction.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Wang Xiao had several wounds on his body, dripping with blood.

But around him, there were also many Xiongnu corpses.

"Your Highness, it's not working; the Da Qian troops are too fierce, our army cannot hold them back."

Batuer was also not having a good time, with several wounds on his body.

Hearing this, his expression was shocked.

"What?"

"How long has it been, and we can't hold them back? Isn't our army three times that of Da Qian?"

This personal guard said urgently, "Da Qian's combat power, armor, and those blades are not something our army can compare to; even the former 'own people' inside are not showing any mercy when they strike us!"

"Hold on for another quarter of an hour!"

Batuer gritted his teeth; he knew that the Da Qian Living Yama was almost finished.

Just one quarter of an hour!

This personal guard was anxious, "Your Highness, let's retreat; don't talk about a quarter of an hour, we can't even hold for half a quarter!"

"Once there is no one to cover the rear, our army's retreat will be a living target."

Batuer looked unwilling.

"Your Highness!"

Although Batuer was unwilling, he could only order, "Cover the rear, retreat!"

For a time, the Xiongnu retreated one after another.

This was also the Xiongnu's usual tactic: if you can't beat them, run; some retreat in place, others scatter and flee.

The core of the tactic is—your horses aren't as fast as mine, and your riding skills aren't as good as mine.

But this time, they were wrong!

As the battle situation was decided,

the main forces of both sides also made their moves.

Gao Yang was almost at the first instant.

He suddenly drew his blade and shouted loudly.

"Your mother's slave!"

"These dog-day Xiongnu actually beat Captain Wang so hard, he almost lost his life."

"Captain Wang can endure it, but I, Gao Yang, absolutely cannot; follow me and kill!"

Gao Yang took the lead on his horse and charged out.

For a time, the cavalry trampled across the grasslands like the wind, charging out.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The cavalry's momentum was astonishing, moving at the first moment to get a share of the spoils—no, to support Wang Xiao.

The Xiongnu Right Worthy Prince also ordered at the first moment.

"Support His Highness, cover!"

The Xiongnu cavalry also hurriedly charged out, and both sides headed toward the central area.

The Xiongnu drew their bows and arrows, preparing to fire and cover Batuer as he retreated.

Because of the existence of the Wu River, it was like a natural moat.

Range was almost a consensus, which was a distance of about a hundred paces.

Or even closer.

The Da Qian soldiers drew their bows and arrows one after another; the Xiongnu looked on with contempt and disdain.

At this distance, at least a hundred paces away, are the Da Qian people crazy?

But the next instant.

The arrows on the 'Polu' bows shot out like arrows leaving the string, exploding toward the Xiongnu.

A hundred paces away!

Swish, swish, swish!

Dense arrows, like locusts, shrouded the supporting Xiongnu cavalry.

The arrows easily pierced the Xiongnu's chests, taking lives; just like a sickle cutting wheat, a large row of Xiongnu fell.

"This, how is this possible?"

Batuer was shocked in his heart, unable to believe it.

Although Wang Xin was enfeoffed as a Marquis in Da Qian, how could he be allowed to know about things like the Polu bow?

The real Polu bows were all in the hands of the direct-line troops, along with horseshoes and stirrups.

These were things the Xiongnu found puzzling; they only knew that the Da Qian soldiers' cavalry seemed to have steadier riding skills...

Additionally.

There was another batch of Xiongnu scattering and fleeing; this was the disadvantage of fighting on the grasslands and deserts.

When the Xiongnu could not fight head-on, they would retreat, then rely on their superior riding skills and the advantage of their warhorses to drag out the Da Qian pursuers and cause casualties.

This trick, they had used many times with success.

But today... it failed! ===== CHAPTER 1336 =====
