Chapter 18: Another Raid on the Xiongnu Transport Team
"Centurion, five miles from our army, we have discovered an enemy logistics transport team, numbering around five hundred!"
"Oh?"
Upon learning this news, Chu Feng subconsciously pinched his chin.
At present, they were not far from Dingning Pass; abandoning this transport team would allow them to reach Dingning Pass unscathed.
Yet, Dingning Pass was currently suffering under the ravages of the Xiongnu army, and there was a risk of the pass being breached before long.
If they could cut off the enemy's grain and fodder supply, it would greatly alleviate the pressure on Dingning Pass.
Likewise, this location was not very far from the Xiongnu main camp.
Once the enemy discovered the situation here, it would not take long for them to dispatch reinforcements.
"Brothers, I intend to annihilate this Xiongnu transport team to alleviate the pressure on Dingning Pass.
But the risk of this mission is immense; a moment of carelessness could lead to being surrounded or even annihilated by the enemy. Are you willing to follow me?"
"Heh, it's not our first time doing this, what's there to fear!"
"That's right, from the moment I joined the army, I decided to fight these Xiongnu bastards to the death!"
"Do it! The worst that can happen is death!"
"We are willing to follow the Centurion to the death!"
All the men unanimously supported Chu Feng's decision.
They all understood the current situation at Dingning Pass.
As long as they weakened the enemy's strength by even a fraction, the pressure on Dingning Pass could be greatly reduced.
"Good, since that is the case, let us make arrangements!"
"First, take advantage of this gap for the wounded to leave with the supplies, and contact the city defense commander to receive us."
"The rest of the men, follow me to set an ambush ahead and annihilate this transport team!"
"Yes!"
The mission was quickly issued.
Chu Feng ordered Niu Yuan to lead the wounded and the captured supplies to leave a step ahead.
The others prepared to ambush the enemy transport team.
Before long.
This transport team appeared within the line of sight of Chu Feng and the others.
However, what Chu Feng found amusing was this.
This transport team was the same as the one they had ambushed before.
The entire journey was leisurely, without any vigilant preparation whatsoever.
This actually reduced the losses they would sustain while ambushing the enemy.
"Sir, there are hills ahead, should we send someone to scout?"
"Is that necessary?"
Wu Peng squinted at the man, "If we deliver the goods to the main camp early, we can finish the job and rest early; there's no need to waste time here!"
"But a transport team was ambushed and suffered heavy losses before, we have to be a bit careful!"
"Hahaha..."
Wu Peng laughed loudly, "Those guys were just unlucky, ambushed by a bunch of rats that snuck to the rear.
We are not far from the main camp now; even if you gave those rats ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to raid us!"
"This..."
Even so, this Centurion felt that something was not quite right.
His right eyelid was twitching violently, and he felt that something bad was going to happen.
"Enough, the journey is what matters; I'm still waiting to go back and get under the covers with my wife!"
Wu Peng urged everyone to set off quickly.
He couldn't wait to go back and discuss things in depth with his wife.
"They're here, everyone get ready!"
Seeing that the transport team had entered their ambush circle.
Chu Feng gave the order.
All the men charged together straight toward Wu Peng's transport team.
"What's going on?"
Wu Peng, who was lying on a transport cart fantasizing about discussing things in depth with his wife, was jolted awake.
He felt the surroundings shaking violently, as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth splitting.
"Bad, enemy attack!"
The Centurion hurriedly issued a warning, but it was a step too late.
Chu Feng, leading the charge, had already reached them.
With a swing of his blade, the Centurion was sent to meet the King of Hell immediately.
"Ah!!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Screams rang out incessantly.
This cavalry unit had appeared too rapidly.
Coupled with their lack of preparation, the entire team collapsed the moment they made contact.
They had completely become fish on the chopping block under Chu Feng and his men.
"Damn Wei people, to think they would dare to ambush our Xiongnu warriors' transport team!"
Wu Peng had never dreamed that his subordinate's words would actually come true.
He had not expected these Wei rats to truly have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard.
To actually dare to launch an ambush against them in a place like this.
They were truly not afraid of the situation at the main camp!
"Swish!"
Chu Feng hacked another Xiongnu soldier to death with his blade, then spurred his horse and charged straight toward Wu Peng.
"You stinking brat who isn't afraid of death, let me come and test you!"
Wu Peng, at the early stage of Martial Master, immediately leaped onto his horse and charged straight at Chu Feng.
A mere little Martial Master actually dared to challenge him.
He really didn't know if this brat had a hole in his brain!
"Die!"
Chu Feng swung his blade with all his might, aiming straight for Wu Peng.
Right now, they had to end the battle as quickly as possible.
Once discovered by the Xiongnu soldiers at the main camp, they would fall into a completely passive situation.
"Ha!"
Wu Peng likewise swung his blade straight at Chu Feng.
But what he did not expect was that after one clash of moves, Wu Peng stood stunned on the spot.
"This... how is this possi..."
Wu Peng's head slid off instantly.
Another enemy at the Martial Master realm had died at the hands of Chu Feng.
After finishing off Wu Peng, Chu Feng immediately joined in the encirclement of the other enemies.
At the same time, he ordered his men to immediately set fire to destroy the Xiongnu army's supplies.
They did not have much time to waste and had to resolve the trouble before them in the shortest time possible.
Xiongnu main camp.
The Xiongnu soldiers responsible for reconnaissance saw the situation occurring over here.
They immediately reported this matter upward.
"What!"
Upon learning the news, the Left Worthy King was so angry he slammed the table and stood up.
"These damned fellows, to actually dare to attack this King's transport team! Send troops to support them immediately, and make sure to bring their heads back to this King!"
"Yes!"
The Xiongnu general who received the mission immediately turned and left.
In a short while.
A thousand-man Xiongnu cavalry unit charged straight toward this location.
The scene shifted.
Chu Feng's side had already achieved very good results.
Although they only had a few dozen men, every single soldier had crawled back from the line of death.
Added to his own strength.
Therefore, wiping out this slightly weaker transport team was not a difficult task.
As the fire burned.
These supplies being transported to the main camp were quickly burned to charcoal.
"Heh, without these supplies, the pressure on Dingning Pass will surely be reduced quite a bit!"
Chu Feng smiled faintly.
The Xiongnu army currently still maintained a crushing posture.
Only by acting in this way could they effectively weaken their strength.
At this time, the scout responsible for reconnaissance discovered dust rising in the direction of the Xiongnu main camp.
After seeing the situation clearly, he immediately reported to Chu Feng.
"Centurion, a Xiongnu cavalry unit is rushing toward us at full speed!"
