Chapter 1174: Fear before the battle

A roar came from the military camp, and Su Fan heard that Lv Bu was going to lead the cavalry to the grassland again.

Sure enough, an hour later, Su Fan saw a cavalry appear in the military camp, with about two thousand troops, all with one man and three horses.

Every warhorse was a head-tall warhorse from the grassland, extremely majestic.

Su Fan stood in mid-air, followed this cavalry, and also entered the grassland.

The grassland was very large, larger than the entire ten border states; there were dozens of aliens growing here, among which the most powerful forces were the Xiongnu and Xianbei, as well as the Wuhuan.

Among them, the Xianbei were aliens who rose after the Xiongnu were severely damaged by the peerless general of the Liu Han Empire back then; of course, the Xianbei were also a combination of various tribal clans.

Compared to the Xiongnu, the Xianbei were more numerous because the Xianbei were a combination of tribes; they had been oppressed by the Xiongnu for a long time and had to unite to resist together, and thus they became stronger and stronger over time.

They became the largest alien race in the northern grassland, and like the Xiongnu, they often entered the border of the Liu Han Dynasty to harass, burn, kill, and loot.

Toward the Xianbei, the people of the northern lands were even more hateful; countless common people became souls under their swords.

The grassland outside Jiuyuan stretched for thousands of *li*, and there were hundreds of Xianbei tribes, large and small, with large ones having hundreds of thousands or a million, and small ones having tens of thousands.

Almost every year, they would harass the border.

And now they finally waited for their Jiuyuan army to counterattack the grassland; this cavalry of two thousand had very high morale, and the soldiers did not have a trace of fear.

Although the number was small, they all believed in their Colonel; that Colonel was the God of War in their hearts.

Over these years, they had all personally watched how this Colonel rose.

Starting from the bottom, he personally led them to fight countless times, and every time he was the winner, and he won quite cleanly.

In the eyes of these soldiers, their Colonel was like a famous general in a storybook who was invincible.

A God of War who led them to constant victory, what did they have to fear? Not to mention that they were going to deal with enemies who had blood feuds with them this time.

The Snow Wolf reappeared, and this time the Snow Wolf phantom was even more substantial.

The cavalry moved very fast, especially since these warhorses had demon race bloodlines; compared to historical warhorses, they did not know how much stronger they were.

Galloping, the speed was not much worse than cars of later generations, and the endurance was even more extraordinary.

The grassland aliens had never been exterminated by the Central Plains, actually because of these warhorses; after all, if they could not fight, they could still escape.

And when the Central Plains were in a prosperous age, they also could not exterminate the grassland aliens because they could not occupy the grassland to survive like the grassland aliens.

After all, the Central Plains were farming, and the grassland was grazing; the habits were different, and it was very difficult to adapt.

However, every prosperous age could also suppress the grassland aliens; during the Emperor Wu period, they even forced the grassland aliens to flee to the wilderness in the north of the grassland, and they were almost exterminated once.

At that time, the imperial divine generals were truly terrifying to the extreme; the barbarians even dispatched six divine priests, all of whom were beheaded by the former one by one; the strength of that imperial divine general even exceeded that of a Heavenly Immortal.

Later, this imperial divine general suddenly died.

Of course, no one was clear about the specifics.

However, Su Fan heard this news and just smiled; that imperial divine general, he naturally knew, the Champion Marquis, the top-tier fierce general of the world, the flower of the empire, was an invincible existence.

"Suddenly died," that was simply a joke, but it was because he was already standing at the peak of the empire at that time, and in the Jiuzhou, there were no rivals.

The empire had no enemies, and the biggest enemy, the grassland aliens, had been beaten to flee to the wilderness.

So he just faked his death and went to a place outside the Jiuzhou.

However, as one of the strongest of the human Military School, with rich luck, his current cultivation was also not simple, having reached the peak of True Immortal.

At this moment, that person had already gone to the Northern Julu Continent for training.

The cavalry maneuvered quickly, and a day later, the two thousand cavalry had already passed Five Peaks Pass; this was a pass in Jiuyuan, where the Jiuyuan Commandery border army was stationed, with a full eight thousand; in this pass where one man guards the pass and ten thousand cannot open it, eight thousand elite soldiers were sufficient to block an army of one hundred thousand.

Not to mention, the grassland aliens themselves were not good at attacking or defending cities; although they learned the Central Plains' equipment, the equipment they built was still much worse than the Central Plains'.

And this pass was a full thirty-plus *zhang* high, and the thickness of the city wall reached several *zhang*, all built with Golden Rock, which was incomparably hard.

And the pass in this border land, back in the Great Qin era, had undergone countless Rune Dao blessings, making the pass city wall even thicker to the extreme. Although the Great Qin perished, this border Great Wall had never been broken by anyone.

Even a powerhouse at the Spirit Refining realm, using magic techniques to bombard it, could not shake it in the slightest; although the spiritual energy of the Jiuzhou had dissipated a lot today, the Rune Dao rune blessings on the pass had dissipated a lot, but under the blessings of countless years of runes, these city walls had already undergone transformation.

Even if the spiritual energy dissipates in the future, the Rune Dao runes will disappear accordingly, but this city wall will always stand tall.

After leaving Five Peaks Pass, the speed of Lv Bu's cavalry seemed to be a few points faster.

And at the same time, he also ordered several teams of scouts to be sent out.

Su Fan just followed the other party like this, standing in the void and watching them.

For several days in a row, finally, Lv Bu's two thousand cavalry encountered the first tribe on the grassland; that was considered a small tribe, with a population of roughly one or two tens of thousands.

However, the tribe's cattle and sheep were in groups, and looking at them, they were boundless.

Lv Bu's cavalry was discovered at ten *li*, but this distance, in reality, was already too late for the cavalry.

Although the tribe reacted, only a portion of the warriors took up weapons, rode warhorses, and rushed over.

"Not good, it's the Snow Wolf Banner!"

"Snow Wolf Banner!"

Immediately, someone saw the blood-colored wolf-head flag of Lv Bu's banners, and suddenly, the grassland aliens began to wail, and their faces also carried a few points of fearful expression.

Clearly, Lv Bu's reputation on the grassland also already carried a few points of deterrent color.

Just like Lv Bu and Ma Chao in the *Romance*, among the northern aliens, they naturally carried the power of deterrence.

That was all fought out.

In the decades of this world, Lv Bu had also beheaded countless aliens on the grassland; he had fought so many battles, large and small, and beheaded more than ten Spirit Refining realm barbarian priests and more than ten Golden Core grassland fierce generals; as for Grandmasters, there were even more.

It could be said that Lv Bu alone had exterminated a major clan among the Xianbei on the grassland.

One could imagine the damage this Lv Bu had done to the grassland aliens; although the grassland aliens were fierce, they were not afraid of nothing.

Especially the Xianbei clan, facing Lv Bu, that was before they even started, they were already chilled with fear. ===== CHAPTER 1175 =====
