Chapter 96

However, at this moment, the Xiongnu soldiers could no longer care about Yufuluo and the others.

They were all panicking and dodging the attacks, not taking the words of those few to heart at all.

"Do not panic! Anyone who dares to disrupt the morale of the army again will be executed without mercy!"

Seeing that the army was still in chaos, Yufuluo immediately beheaded two soldiers who refused to follow orders, and only then did the army slowly stabilize.

"Huchuquan, you lead a portion of the army and break out from the front."

"This Chanyu and Mu Shun will lead a portion of the army and break out from the rear."

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

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

"Understood!"

Huchuquan and Mu Shun both responded to Yufuluo immediately.

Afterward, Mu Shun walked quickly toward Yufuluo.

And Huchuquan shouted to the field:

"Half of you, follow this Commander and break out from the front!"

As Huchuquan's voice fell, the subordinates following Huchuquan all gathered toward him.

Watching Huchuquan break out from the front, Mu Shun immediately shouted to the remaining people:

"Everyone, follow this General, protect the Grand Chanyu, and break out from the rear."

Soon, the Xiongnu army, under Yufuluo's arrangements, broke out rapidly toward the exits on both sides.

And at this moment, Zhang Liao had already led his army to wait for Yufuluo and the others at the rear exit of the valley.

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

The moment he saw Yufuluo, Zhang Liao stepped forward immediately and said to Yufuluo with a loud laugh.

"Who are you?"

Yufuluo, having arrived at the exit, looked at Zhang Liao before him and asked loudly.

"Hahaha, easy to say!"

"I am Zhang Liao, Commander of the Bingzhou Army!"

Faced with Yufuluo's inquiry, Zhang Liao laughed loudly.

"What!"

"You are Zhang Liao?"

"You are the one who set an ambush for this Chanyu?"

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

Looking at Yufuluo's appearance, Zhang Liao felt a sense of satisfaction.

This was, after all, the Grand Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, a figure who had roamed Bingzhou for over ten years.

A figure who had even given the Imperial Court and Ding Yuan and others headaches.

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

"It is indeed I!"

Zhang Liao shouted toward the Yufuluo before him, his face full of majesty.

"Zhang Liao, this Chanyu did not expect that the Great Han would produce a talent like you."

"To be able to conquer the entire Dingxiang Commandery in such a short time."

"And most importantly, to still have time to set an ambush for this Chanyu—the younger generation is truly formidable!"

Upon hearing Yufuluo's praise, Zhang Liao smiled faintly at him.

"To receive such an evaluation from the Grand Chanyu, I am flattered!"

"Zhang Liao, it seems we can only settle this with our blades!"

Knowing that Zhang Liao would not let him go, Yufuluo did not say anything more.

Immediately, he spoke to Zhang Liao.

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

"I have gone to great lengths to wait for you here, so you might as well all stay behind!"

"To be able to capture the Xiongnu Grand Chanyu—this is a great achievement indeed!"

Faced with the prospect of capturing the Xiongnu Grand Chanyu alive—a heaven-shaking achievement—Zhang Liao was also somewhat excited.

"Just by yourself? You cannot keep this Chanyu here."

Hearing that Zhang Liao intended to take him down, Yufuluo immediately said with disdain.

"Whether I can or not, we shall see after we fight!"

Zhang Liao also refused to show weakness.

"Good, worthy of being the Commander of the Bingzhou Army, good courage!"

"My Xiongnu sons, if you want to live, follow this Chanyu and charge!"

After praising Zhang Liao, Yufuluo shouted to the Xiongnu army behind him.

Seeing that Yufuluo had launched an attack, Zhang Liao also shouted to the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army:

"Soldiers, the time to build your careers is today."

"Follow me, attack!"

"Attack..."

Soon, Zhang Liao led his army and collided with the Xiongnu army.

However, these ordinary Xiongnu soldiers were no match for the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army.

The moment the two sides made contact, countless Xiongnu soldiers were slaughtered.

Originally, the fifty-thousand-strong Xiongnu army had already lost about ten thousand men in the previous wave of ambushes.

And the army led by Yufuluo only had about ten thousand men left, plus Zhang Liao had twenty thousand men.

Moreover, they were all warriors who had cultivated martial arts techniques; the outcome for both sides had long been determined.

Watching the soldiers falling continuously beside them, the Xiongnu soldiers were chilled to the bone; they looked at the Bingzhou soldiers in terror and shouted in panic:

"Devils, they are too terrifying!"

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

"They are invincible, we are finished!"

These Xiongnu soldiers were terrified by the Bingzhou soldiers led by Zhang Liao.

They were fearful, chilled, and even felt despair!

Such a powerful army was simply not something they could defeat.

Watching his own army being ruthlessly slaughtered by the other side, Yufuluo's eyes turned red with fury.

He roared: "Do not be afraid, they are human too, everyone counterattack for me!"

"Grand Chanyu, the Han army are not human, they are devils, we cannot defeat them!"

At this point, the Xiongnu soldiers could no longer listen to Yufuluo's words, all saying in terror.

Hearing the soldiers' words, Yufuluo was so angry his liver ached, and he shouted:

"Presumptuous! Anyone who dares to disrupt the morale of the army will be executed without mercy!"

After speaking, he beheaded all those people, and the Xiongnu soldiers who saw Yufuluo in such a state became even more terrified.

Seeing this scene, Yufuluo knew that if things continued like this, the entire army would be wiped out.

He immediately shouted to Mu Shun: "Mu Shun, you go and kill Zhang Liao first. As long as Zhang Liao dies, the Han army will surely fall into chaos."

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

At this moment, Mu Shun also saw the situation on the field clearly and understood that what Yufuluo said was the most correct choice at the moment.

He immediately responded to Yufuluo: "Grand Chanyu, please rest assured, watch this subordinate go and kill him!"

"Zhang Liao, wait for me to kill you!"

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

"Hahaha, well come!"

Watching Mu Shun charging toward him, Zhang Liao shouted.

Immediately, he turned and met Mu Shun head-on.

"Zhang Liao, go to your death!"

Watching Zhang Liao charging toward him, Mu Shun shouted, and the great blade in his hand slashed fiercely toward Zhang Liao.

"Hmph, petty tricks!"

Watching the great blade slashing toward him, Zhang Liao remained calm, mobilizing the internal energy in his dantian and imbuing it into the long blade in his hand.

He blocked the blade that Mu Shun had slashed down.

"Clang!"

The moment their weapons made contact, a "clang" sound rang out, and the great blade in Mu Shun's hand was sent flying away by this powerful force.

"What! This is impossible!"

After the strike, Mu Shun said to Zhang Liao in disbelief, his voice cracking.
