Chapter 369: The Valley Battle

But at this moment, the Xiongnu soldiers could not possibly still pay attention to Yufuluo and his men.

They all individually fled the attacks in panic, paying no heed to what the few had said.

"Don't panic! Anyone who dares to disturb the army's morale will be killed without mercy!"

Seeing the army still in chaos, Yufuluo immediately beheaded two disobedient soldiers, after which the army gradually steadied.

"Huchuquan, you lead a portion of the army to break out through the front."

"The Grand Chanyu and Mu Shun will lead a portion of the army to break out through the rear."

"Remember, we will rendezvous at Jiling City in Yunzhong Commandery."

While fending off attacks, Yufuluo quickly said to Huchuquan and Mu Shun.

"Understood!"

Huchuquan and Mu Shun immediately replied to Yufuluo.

Then Mu Shun hurried toward Yufuluo.

Huchuquan, however, shouted across the field:

"Half of you, follow me, the commander, and break out through the front!"

As Huchuquan finished speaking, his subordinates instantly gathered around him.

Seeing Huchuquan breaking out through the front, Mu Shun immediately shouted to the remaining troops:

"Everyone, follow me, protect the Grand Chanyu, and break out through the rear."

Soon, under Yufuluo's orders, the Xiongnu army surged toward both exits.

At this moment, Zhang Liao had already led his army to the Valley exit behind, waiting for Yufuluo and his men.

"Hahaha, Yufuluo, I, the commander, have been waiting for you for a long time!"

The instant he saw Yufuluo, Zhang Liao stepped forward, laughing loudly at him.

"Who are you?"

Arriving at the exit, Yufuluo looked at Zhang Liao and asked loudly.

"Hahaha, easy to say!"

"I, Commander of Bing Province Army, Zhang Liao!"

Facing Yufuluo's question, Zhang Liao laughed heartily.

"What!"

"You are Zhang Liao?"

"So you are the Grand Chanyu who set the ambush?"

Seeing that the person before him was Zhang Liao who had ambushed him, Yufuluo stared fiercely at Zhang Liao and roared ferociously.

Looking at Yufuluo's demeanor, Zhang Liao felt a surge of exhilaration.

He was the Grand Chanyu of Southern Xiongnu, a presence that had roamed Bing Province for over a decade.

Even the Imperial Court and Ding Yuan and others found him a headache.

He never expected that one day he would be defeated by his own hand.

"It is I, the commander!"

Zhang Liao shouted at Yufuluo with a face full of authority.

"Zhang Liao, the Grand Chanyu did not expect the Han Dynasty to produce talent like you."

"To have captured the entire Dingxiang Commandery in such a short time."

"Moreover, most importantly, you still had time to set an ambush for the Grand Chanyu; the younger generation is fearsome!"

Hearing Yufuluo's praise, Zhang Liao gave him a faint smile.

"To receive such appraisal from the Grand Chanyu, I am both honored and surprised!"

"Zhang Liao, it seems we must now prove ourselves on the battlefield!"

Knowing Zhang Liao would not let him go, Yufuluo said no more.

He immediately said to Zhang Liao.

"Hahaha, the Grand Chanyu sees clearly after all."

"I, the commander, have been waiting here for you; then stay!"

"Capturing the Xiongnu Grand Chanyu is a great achievement!"

Facing the chance to capture the Xiongnu Grand Chanyu, Zhang Liao was somewhat excited.

"With you alone, you can't even hold the Grand Chanyu."

Hearing Zhang Liao intend to take him down, Yufuluo sneered.

"Whether it's possible, we'll only know after fighting!"

Zhang Liao also replied, unwilling to appear weak.

"Fine, worthy of being Commander of Bing Province Army, such bravery!"

"My Xiongnu lads, if you want to live, follow the Grand Chanyu and kill!"

Yufuluo praised Zhang Liao with a shout, then bellowed to the Xiongnu army behind him.

Seeing Yufuluo launch the attack, Zhang Liao shouted to the Bing Province Army soldiers:

"Soldiers, make your name today!"

"Follow me, kill!"

"Kill..."

Soon, Zhang Liao led his army to clash with the Xiongnu army.

However, these ordinary Xiongnu soldiers could not match the Bing Province Army soldiers.

The moment the two sides first made contact, the Xiongnu army was cut down by countless blows.

Originally, the 50,000-strong Xiongnu army had already lost about Ten Thousand men in a previous ambush.

Yufuluo's army numbered only over Ten Thousand, and Zhang Liao had Two Hundred Thousand men.

Moreover, they were all Warriors who had cultivated Martial Dao techniques, so the outcome for both sides was already predetermined.

Seeing the soldiers around them falling one after another, the Xiongnu troops grew terrified; they looked at the Bing Province Army Soldiers in fear and shouted in panic:

"Demons, they're so terrifying!"

"I don't want to die, they're too terrifying!"

"They are unbeatable, we're doomed!"

These Xiongnu soldiers were killed by the Bing Province Army Soldiers under Zhang Liao.

They were terrified, shivered, and felt hopeless!

An army so powerful is simply not one they can defeat.

Seeing his own troops mercilessly slaughtered, Yufuluo's eyes reddened with anger.

He roared: "Don't be afraid, they are also human, all counterattack for me!"

"Grand Chanyu, the Han Army are not human, they are demons, we cannot defeat them!"

At this point, the Xiongnu soldiers could no longer heed Yufuluo's words and all spoke in fear.

Hearing the soldiers' words, Yufuluo's anger flared, his liver seemed to ache, and he shouted:

"Audacious ones who dare to disturb morale, be killed without mercy!"

Having said that, he slashed all of them down, and the Xiongnu soldiers who saw Yufuluo's demeanor grew even more terrified.

Seeing this scene, Yufuluo realized that if it continued, the whole army would be annihilated.

Immediately, he shouted at Mu Shun: "Mu Shun, go and slay Zhang Liao first; as long as Zhang Liao dies, the Han Army will fall into chaos."

"This is our only chance to turn the tide!"

At that moment, Mu Shun also saw the situation clearly and understood that what Yufuluo said was the most correct choice right now.

He immediately replied to Yufuluo: "Grand Chanyu, rest assured, I, the junior officer, will go and slay him!"

"Zhang Liao, wait for this officer to cut you!"

After speaking to Yufuluo, Mu Shun turned toward Zhang Liao and shouted.

"Hahaha, come at me!"

Seeing Mu Shun charging at him, Zhang Liao shouted.

He immediately turned and faced Mu Shun head‑on.

"Zhang Liao, meet your death!"

Seeing Zhang Liao charging at him, Mu Shun shouted, swinging his Great Blade ferociously toward Zhang Liao.

"Hmph, a petty trick!"

Watching the Great Blade swing at him, Zhang Liao remained calm, channeling internal energy from his dantian into his Long Blade.

He deflected the Great Blade that Mu Shun swung.

"Ding—!"

When their weapons clashed, a single "Ding—" rang out, and Mu Shun's Great Blade was flung away by the powerful force.

"What! This cannot be!"

After the strike, Mu Shun, full of disbelief, shouted at Zhang Liao.
