Chapter 17: Annihilating the Xiongnu Cavalry

"Centurion, there is a unit of Xiongnu cavalry twenty miles from our army, rushing straight toward us at full speed!"

"What!"

Everyone was astonished to hear this news.

They had not expected the enemy to catch up to them so quickly.

"How many men do they have?"

"One hundred elite cavalry!"

Upon learning the number of enemies, Chu Feng could not help but begin to ponder.

The enemy held a numerical advantage and consisted of Xiongnu soldiers with exceptional horsemanship.

Excluding the wounded, they only had about sixty soldiers left who were still capable of fighting.

"Brothers, there is a unit of about one hundred Xiongnu cavalry behind us now. What do you all think we should do?"

"What should we do? We fight them!"

"That's right, fight them. We were all born of fathers and mothers, and we all have two shoulders supporting one head; why should we fear them?"

"Centurion, we are willing to fight the Xiongnu cavalry to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

For the past few days, they had been raiding all over Xiongnu territory, but they had not yet truly clashed with Xiongnu soldiers.

Now that they had encountered them, it was the perfect time to settle the score.

"Good, you are worthy of being my, Chu Feng's, brothers!"

Chu Feng drew his blade, "The wounded will look after the horses and supplies; the rest of you, follow my arrangements to fight the Xiongnu cavalry to the death!"

"Yes!"

All the soldiers immediately began to act according to Chu Feng's instructions.

The Xiongnu cavalry was still some distance away, giving them just enough time to prepare.

They set up multiple tripwires and then hid in place.

Afterward, they dug pits of various sizes in the ground, intended to make the Xiongnu cavalry's warhorses stumble.

Once everything was ready.

Everyone was fully prepared, waiting only for the Xiongnu cavalry to appear.

"My lord, look!"

Wulipu looked in the direction his subordinate was pointing and was instantly overjoyed.

"Heh, damn it, we finally caught up to them!"

Wulipu sneered and immediately drew the long blade at his waist, "Brothers, the thieves who killed our kin are right before our eyes; follow me and charge!"

"My lord, wait!"

Wulipu's deputy immediately called for a halt, "The enemy's numbers are far inferior to ours; they are not fleeing but staying here instead. Could there be an ambush?"

"Hmph, an ambush? Based on them?"

Wulipu let out a cold snort, not taking the Wei Army seriously at all, "Everyone, follow me in the charge! Anyone who retreats will be executed!"

Days of continuous pursuit had already left Wulipu furious.

The fact that the enemy had killed his younger brother and wiped out his tribe made him wish he could tear them apart with his bare hands.

Now that he had finally encountered this enemy unit, how could Wulipu possibly remain calm?

With a single order.

The hundred-plus elite Xiongnu cavalry launched an attack on Chu Feng's unit.

"Kill!"

"You Wei dog bastards, pay with your lives!"

The Xiongnu cavalry shouted a bunch of words Chu Feng could not understand as they rushed straight toward them.

The speed and the skill they displayed were enough to demonstrate the Xiongnu's incredibly refined horsemanship.

"The Xiongnu cavalry is here, everyone get ready!"

Seeing that the Xiongnu cavalry had arrived nearby, the Wei Army soldiers lying in ambush were also prepared.

"Pull!"

The Wei Army soldiers in ambush immediately pulled the tripwires in their hands.

The Xiongnu cavalry charging in the front could not react in time and fell off their horses one after another.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Many Xiongnu cavalrymen fell from their horses, and the cavalry charging up from behind could not stop their momentum.

The horses' hooves trampled directly onto the bodies of the Xiongnu soldiers in front.

In an instant.

Many Xiongnu cavalrymen lost their lives on the spot.

"Damn it, you bunch of Wei dog bastards!"

Wulipu was, after all, a powerhouse at the Martial Master realm.

Not only was his own strength formidable, but his warhorse was also extraordinary.

The moment the Wei Army pulled the tripwires, his warhorse had already reacted.

It carried him directly over the tripwires.

After leaving the range of the tripwires, Wulipu continued to lead his unit in the charge.

Who would have thought that after charging for only a short distance, problems would arise again.

Behind them, the mournful cries of multiple warhorses rang out one after another.

It turned out these warhorses had stepped into the uneven, potholed road on the ground.

One after another, they stumbled and sprained their hooves.

"Damn it, you bunch of despicable Wei people!"

Wulipu began to spout trash talk wildly from his mouth.

He never expected that the Wei people could come up with so many tricks while fighting a war.

If you have the guts, then have a head-on collision with the Xiongnu cavalry!

After losing dozens of cavalrymen, Wulipu finally led his team to the vicinity of Chu Feng and the others.

"Brothers, charge!"

Chu Feng drew his saber and was the first to spur his horse toward the Xiongnu cavalry.

"Charge!"

The remaining soldiers also drew their long sabers one after another.

They followed Chu Feng and collided with the Xiongnu cavalry.

"You stinking brat, return my brother's life..."

"This is so long-winded!"

Chu Feng and Wulipu were the first to collide.

The two exchanged only one round, and Chu Feng killed Wulipu with a single saber strike.

Currently, he was at the Martial Artist Late Stage of cultivation, and he had practiced the Eighteen Wind-Chasing Sabers to the Great Perfection realm.

His strength was already enough to go toe-to-toe with opponents at the Martial Master Mid-stage or even the Late Stage.

Wulipu was merely an opponent at the Martial Master Early-stage.

In Chu Feng's hands, he couldn't even last a single round.

"What!"

The crowd of Xiongnu soldiers widened their eyes one by one upon seeing their leader beheaded.

Their leader was a powerhouse at the Martial Master realm!

Yet he was killed by someone in just a single round!

"Everyone, charge!"

Chu Feng ended Wulipu's life with one strike, causing the morale of his own side to soar instantly.

Everyone held their war sabers and frantically reaped the lives of the Xiongnu soldiers before them.

Chu Feng himself was even more of a leader in the charge.

The long saber in his hand was wielded with incredible skill; during this time, who knows how many Xiongnu soldiers died under Chu Feng's blade.

After a round of charging, the Xiongnu soldiers had lost half their numbers.

Their side had also lost over a dozen brothers.

Subsequently, the charge continued once more.

Chu Feng attacked from both sides, causing multiple Xiongnu soldiers to fall from their horses one after another.

In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the battle ended.

The hundred-plus elite Xiongnu cavalry were completely wiped out.

Chu Feng and his side also lost quite a few soldiers.

Even those who survived were mostly carrying injuries.

"Brothers, you are all excellent!"

Chu Feng looked back at his soldiers.

These soldiers were a group of brave warriors who dared to fight and struggle, and they were also the most outstanding soldiers.

They would also be the excellent backbone for Chu Feng as he walked toward the peak in the future.

After dealing with this bunch of Xiongnu cavalry, Chu Feng immediately ordered people to tend to the wounded and collect the spoils of war.

These were all elite Xiongnu cavalry, and their warhorses were all very good.

And all the dry rations, weapons, and armor on their bodies were also taken away by Chu Feng's soldiers.

As for those injured warhorses, they were killed directly for their meat; the main idea was not to waste anything.

After everything was ready.

Chu Feng and the others did not dare to continue lingering here.

If there happened to be another unit behind them, it would be very disadvantageous for them.

To avoid encountering the Xiongnu army on the way back.

They took a detour along another path to return to Dingning Pass.

After a long trek.

Dingning Pass finally appeared before their eyes.

"Great, we've finally arrived!"

Seeing Dingning Pass, everyone felt very excited.

They could finally go back and have a good rest.

Just as Chu Feng ordered everyone to head straight for Dingning Pass.

A soldier came at high speed to report the situation to Chu Feng at this moment.
