Chapter 11: Rescuing Friendly Forces

An old man stood out at this moment, "Our army suffered heavy losses in the battle last night and morale is low; a rash frontal assault will only result in even greater losses."

"In my view, it is better to pacify the troops first, retrieve the missing horses, and then requisition supplies from the rear; that is the superior strategy!"

This person was named Luo De, and he was the father-in-law of the Zuo Xian.

He was also the only important figure present capable of keeping the Zuo Xian in check.

Reminded by his father-in-law, the Zuo Xian finally regained his reason.

Now is indeed not the best time to attack Dingning Pass.

He immediately gave the order to start packing up the camp, retrieve the missing warhorses, and requisition supplies from the rear.

After escaping from the Xiongnu main camp.

Chu Feng and the others found a hidden spot to begin resting.

Once dawn broke, the group woke up from their sleep.

After waking up, Chu Feng could not help but discover a very fatal problem.

"It's over, I only knew how to run last night, I don't even know where I ran to!"

He was not familiar with this place.

Added to the fact that the situation last night was very urgent, he had completely just picked a random direction to flee.

When dawn arrived, he had no idea where Dingning Pass was located.

"Does anyone here know the way back?"

At present, they were not carrying much dry rations on them.

If they did not return to Dingning Pass in time, not to mention whether they would starve to death, just encountering a Xiongnu unit would be enough to cause them serious trouble.

"Centurion, I know the way!"

A soldier stood out at this time.

"Good, you lead the way in front, we are returning to Dingning Pass!"

"Yes!"

Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief at this.

Fortunately, there was a guide by his side, so he did not have to worry about not being able to return to Dingning Pass.

After the group followed the guide for a distance.

They suddenly stopped.

"Centurion, there is dust flying ahead, it looks like there are enemies!"

"What!"

Chu Feng was secretly startled, "Everyone, prepare for battle, and also, gather all the bows and arrows!"

He did not expect that they would encounter the enemy so quickly.

In order to inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible.

Chu Feng had everyone gather all the bows and arrows together.

At present, only his archery was the most formidable, so naturally, he had to maximize the combat effectiveness.

"Looking at this posture, it should be an enemy cavalry unit!"

The density of the dust flying in front was extremely intense; infantry could never achieve this.

Only a cavalry unit could cause a situation of this scale.

At the same time.

Chu Feng immediately opened his information panel.

【Name: Chu Feng】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation Technique: "Qi Refining Technique" (Minor Accomplishment) + "Eighteen Wind-Chasing Sabers" (Minor Accomplishment) +】

【Realm: Martial Artist Initial Stage +】

【Strength: 2,900 jin】

【Talent: Advanced Archer +】

【Killing Points: 140】

"The opponent is cavalry, their speed is extremely fast, I had better upgrade my archery first!"

Having made up his mind.

Chu Feng immediately began to allocate the points in his hand.

【Name: Chu Feng】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation Technique: "Qi Refining Technique" (Minor Accomplishment) "Eighteen Wind-Chasing Sabers" (Minor Accomplishment)】

【Realm: Martial Artist Mid-Stage】

【Strength: 3,500 jin】

【Talent: Elite Archer】

【Killing Points: 0】

After the allocation was completed.

Chu Feng's combat capabilities in all aspects had once again been greatly improved.

Especially his archery skills, which had achieved a leap-forward growth.

"Big Brother, look quickly, it seems like there are our people over there!"

"Oh?"

Chu Feng immediately began to Concentrate Spirit and look over.

He saw that in the dust-filled distance, a group of people dressed as Dingning Pass garrison soldiers had truly appeared.

And behind them was a Xiongnu cavalry unit of about thirty men.

"So they are friendly forces!"

After last night's chaotic battle, Chu Feng had originally thought that only his own unit had been scattered.

He had not expected to encounter another unit that had been separated from the main force.

Chu Feng immediately bent his bow and nocked an arrow; this time, he drew three arrows at once.

He locked firmly onto the three Xiongnu soldiers charging at the very front.

"Hahaha, run, run, run, you Wei bastards!"

"Don't stop, watch your backsides!"

The Xiongnu cavalry were crazily mocking and teasing the Great Wei soldiers sprinting ahead.

Their camp had been raided by Great Wei soldiers last night, and they were just looking for a place to vent their pent-up anger.

After running into this group of scattered Great Wei soldiers, they naturally became their punching bags.

They simply started playing a game of hunting rabbits.

"Damn it, what rotten luck, to actually run into Xiongnu cavalry!"

After Zhang He was separated from his unit last night, he had followed his memory to return to Dingning Pass.

Along the way, he had encountered quite a few other scattered soldiers.

Everyone gathered together and set off toward Dingning Pass.

Never did they think that on the way back, they would encounter a cavalry unit deployed by the Xiongnu.

With no other choice, they could only sprint toward the rear.

"Haha, you Wei dogs, go to hell!"

Several Xiongnu soldiers immediately bent their bows and nocked arrows, preparing to shoot the fleeing Wei soldiers ahead.

At the most critical moment.

Suddenly, an arrow appeared before their eyes.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Three screams rang out.

Three Xiongnu soldiers instantly tumbled from their horses and lost their lives.

"Hm? There are other enemies!"

The sudden scene took everyone by surprise.

Who could have imagined that there would be other enemies here?

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Following that, several more arrows flew over, and a few more Xiongnu soldiers fell from their horses and died.

"Big Brother, it's divine, he took out three more!"

"My god, you couldn't find a handful of people in the entire Dingning Pass with this kind of archery."

"The Centurion is mighty!"

Last night, Chu Feng had led them to break out of the Xiongnu army's encirclement, and now he was displaying god-like archery skills.

The crowd's worship of Chu Feng reached its peak at this moment.

"Over there, take them out first!"

A highly skilled master archer had appeared among the enemies.

Naturally, this was also an important target that the Xiongnu soldiers wanted to hunt down.

Right now, they held the advantage in mobility, so they naturally would not fear this group of infantry walking on the ground.

"Come on!"

Chu Feng once again drew his bowstring to the limit.

His elite-level archery skills had already allowed him to master the art of the bow.

In his eyes, these extremely fast Xiongnu cavalry were nothing more than a group of moving targets.

Every time the bowstring rang, a Xiongnu soldier would inevitably fall from their horse and die.

And the Xiongnu cavalry captain, who had previously thought he could kill Chu Feng, instantly felt that something was wrong.

The opponent's level of archery was truly too formidable.

Shooting them from a distance of over a hundred paces was like child's play to him.

Of the thirty-plus cavalrymen, more than half had already been lost.

Before they could even charge to the front, they had already been shot dead by him.

"All troops, retreat!"

The cavalry leader saw that the situation was not right.

He decisively ordered everyone to retreat.

The opponent's strength was too great for them to handle; they could only find the main force to come and provide support.

Seeing that the Xiongnu cavalry were about to flee, Chu Feng instantly grew anxious.

"Damn it, if you've got guts, don't run!"

These were all living experience points!

Right now, my Killing Points have hit rock bottom again, so I must replenish them quickly.

Yet despite this, two Xiongnu soldiers still managed to escape.

And on the other side.

The rescued Great Wei soldiers had already arrived before them.

What Chu Feng did not expect was that he would actually run into an acquaintance.

"Yo, Brother Chu!"

"Oh my, Zhang, you're not dead yet!"

"You..."

Zhang He was so choked up by Chu Feng's words that he didn't know what to say, "Can't you wish me something good for once!"

"Hehe, of course I have to hope you're alive, don't I!"

Chu Feng gave Zhang He a big bear hug, "You still owe me a round of drinks at the flower house!"

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten!"

After the two exchanged brief pleasantries, Chu Feng asked, "Zhang, how did you end up running all the way here?"

"Sigh, don't even mention it!"

Zhang He sighed, "After getting separated from the main force, I originally intended to return to Dingning Pass, and on the way, I ran into these brothers!"

Zhang He pointed to the soldiers who were just as disheveled as he was, "We were originally traveling back together, who knew we would run into patrolling Xiongnu cavalry on the way back."

"They blocked the road back to Dingning Pass and have been searching everywhere for us, the ones who raided their camp last night."

"Unfortunately, we were discovered by them."

"We originally had about fifty brothers, but they slaughtered us until only these thirty or so are left!"

Speaking of this.

Zhang He helplessly lowered his head.

He did not expect that he would owe Chu Feng another life.

If he hadn't happened to run into him here, he would have long since been shot dead like a rabbit by the Xiongnu soldiers.

"You mean the road back for us has been blocked by Xiongnu soldiers?"

"That's right!"

Zhang He nodded, "The road back is no longer passable; if we try to flee back, the Xiongnu cavalry will definitely bring the main force to hunt us down!"

A dark cloud once again loomed over everyone's hearts.

Having just escaped the encirclement of the Xiongnu main camp, they did not expect to encounter the encirclement of Xiongnu cavalry again.

"In that case, we only have one path left to take!"

"Oh? What path?"
