Chapter 1175: Defend to the death

The warriors who were originally rushing toward Lv Bu were now also a bit weak in the legs, and the arm strength to pull the bow also instantly dissipated a few points.

It was not that these warriors were not "brave," but Lv Bu's reputation, especially his reputation among the Xianbei, was simply too loud and too scary.

There were simply too many people who died in the hands of this person; "Human Butcher," for the grassland aliens, Lv Bu was a Human Butcher, and the ones he slaughtered were precisely the warriors of the grassland.

Fear before the battle; when two armies are arrayed against each other, morale is extremely important.

Boom!

One kilometer passed in the blink of an eye.

Lv Bu took the lead, and the Painted Halberd in his hand just slashed into the air; a blood-colored blade aura in the void broke through the air, carrying the power of a rainbow, and blasted into the Xianbei tribal army.

This blood-colored blade aura beheaded more than thirty armored warriors in one go.

"Ah!"

Just this one slash made those "Xianbei warriors" chilled with fear; one must know that among those thirty-plus warriors wearing iron armor, many were powerhouses in the tribe, at least Grandmasters or Great Grandmasters.

As a result, they could not even take a single slash.

Rumble!

Lv Bu's two thousand cavalry were almost all armored, and even the warhorses they rode were armored; both man and horse were armored, and these warhorses were all top-tier, whether it was load-bearing, speed, or impact, they were extraordinary.

Under Lv Bu's leadership, they were like tanks, running rampant, and wherever they went, there were broken limbs flying everywhere.

And Lv Bu was even more courageous, acting as the arrow of the military front, indestructible; no matter what stood in front of him, they could not block his strike.

In just half a cup of tea's time, Lv Bu's cavalry scattered the five thousand "warriors" gathered by this tribe.

The tribe itself was not big, and being able to gather five thousand "warriors" so quickly was already very formidable, but facing Lv Bu, it was not enough to look at.

Without a formed military array, it was very difficult to block Lv Bu's military front.

Afterward, there was no afterward; this tribe quickly turned into lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and many "warriors" were all turned into corpses under the slaughter of these cavalry.

And the old, weak, sick, and disabled of the tribe, especially the young children and the elderly, these soldiers did not let them go either, slaughtering them all.

Only the women and a portion of the young and strong were spared from death.

However, the days that those young and strong would face in the future would not be good; these would all be taken back by the soldiers and then sold as slaves.

These grassland barbarians were all physically strong; being sold to the Central Plains would also fetch a good price; after all, many merchants in the Central Plains who opened mines liked such big men very much.

After all, opening mines would kill people; even in later generations, opening mines would often kill people, let alone in this era of backward productivity.

Of course, if those people had super martial strength, it would be different, but would such people go to be miners?

Even if they paid more money, these Central Plains martial artists would not be willing.

But those captured grassland aliens were different; as long as there were powerhouses to suppress them on the side, they had to act as miners.

So the border army of the northern lands, in the great war, would sell the captured young and strong to the Central Plains.

This was also a wealth, not worse than those cattle and sheep.

In one hour, this Xianbei tribe of over ten thousand people was left with only red flames and the shrill crying sounds coming from the empty space.

However, these crying sounds could not arouse any pity from those cavalry; after all, the heinous crimes committed by these grassland aliens after entering the pass against those inside the pass were even more terrifying than these.

Their counterattack now was just a part of it.

The cavalry following Lv Bu were now all full of excitement; this ten-thousand-person tribe had no less than three hundred thousand cattle and sheep; one must know that the beef and mutton of these cattle and sheep cost about thirty to fifty *qian* per *jin*; placed in the Central Plains, the beef and mutton of the grassland were even more expensive.

One cow was about three thousand to five thousand *jin*, and one sheep was three hundred to five hundred *jin*.

If calculated by meat, this cow was about one hundred thousand *qian*, and one sheep was ten thousand *qian*.

Of course, cattle could also be used as plow cattle, so the value would be even higher.

This harvest, these soldiers, as long as each could get two sheep and one cow, some bottom-level military officers would get more.

This did not count those slaves; the women of the grassland aliens also had no small value.

Do not look at how these elite soldiers were not short of money and naturally not short of wives, but in the border areas, there were many poor men who could not afford to marry Han wives, so these alien wives became the target of these poor men.

Although they sold for less than those young and strong slaves, a mosquito, no matter how small, was still meat.

This time they came out, the first battle, the loss was only a few dozen people, among which the truly dead were less than twenty.

The rest, except for the seriously injured, would also recover quickly.

So the soldiers were not sad; dead people were already accustomed to them.

Especially the hundred-battle veterans who were used to life and death, naturally they would not care; it was not that they were indifferent.

Their companions died, and in the future, they would take care of those families as much as possible; as for the rest, it was just like that.

"General, are we going back now?"

Lv Hao, as the commander of Lv Bu's personal soldiers, was also a member of the Lv clan; as one of Lv Bu's closest people, he had always guarded the half-step in front of Lv Bu.

Of course, with Lv Bu's strength, personal guards were actually not needed at all, but these people still did not retreat even half a step.

"Go back."

"Lv Hao, take people and go back immediately."

Lv Bu looked up at the distance, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and then said: "Don't worry about those cattle and sheep, drop them immediately."

"General, what happened?"

Lv Hao also felt that the aura of his own general had changed, and asked quickly.

"Some small fry, don't worry."

Lv Bu said indifferently.

Just at this moment, suddenly in the sky in the distance, several black shadows appeared.

Lv Hao also discovered it at this time; as the commander of Lv Bu's personal soldiers, Lv Hao's strength was also not bad, at the peak of Great Grandmaster.

Placed in the army, he could also serve as a Colonel of an army.

Do not look at how Lv Bu was only a Colonel at the Spirit Refining realm; in reality, this was because the army of Jiuyuan Commandery was too small; after all, the generals above were only those two, one of whom was Lv Bu's father.

One could not let Lv Bu's father abdicate.

And in other places, a Great Grandmaster was sufficient to serve as a Colonel.

Lv Hao discovered those few figures, their aura was extraordinarily terrifying; one look and they were coming aggressively, clearly for them, no, it should be for his own general.

"General, we are willing to stay and be with the General."

Lv Hao naturally was unwilling to leave; at the moment, those few people were likely all at the Spirit Refining realm, barbarian priests with the same cultivation as his own general.

How could they abandon the general and run away alone?

"General, we are willing to live and die with the General, and defend the General to the death."

Two thousand soldiers also responded with high morale. ===== CHAPTER 1176 =====
