Chapter 134

"That eared thief is too bad! He actually treats the Hu Ren as a place to hunt for horses and girls!"

"Guo Jia's eyes lit up when he heard he could learn foreign languages; these two are truly a perfect match!"

"Eared thief, give me back Zou Shi!"

"That eared thief is getting cocky; with so few troops, he's actually splitting them up!"

Xiongnu royal court, Meiji County, Xihe Commandery,

Huchuquan was furious.

"That eared thief is truly bold! He killed my brother before, and now he dares to attack my royal court with only ten thousand troops!"

Left Worthy Prince Liu Bao cupped his hands—he was the son of Yufuluo, and later the father of Liu Yuan, who destroyed the Western Jin.

"Chanyu, Liu Bei is facing enemies on all sides and has committed the taboo of splitting his troops. This is a great opportunity for us to eliminate Liu Bei!"

Huchuquan nodded.

"Good, Left Worthy Prince, I appoint you as the vanguard. Lead your thirty thousand troops to attack Liu Bei first, and I will follow shortly!"

Liu Bao cursed in his heart; this was purely to exhaust his troops, but on the surface, he could only cup his hands.

"Yes, Chanyu, your subordinate will certainly cut off Liu Bei's head to use as a wine cup."

Liu Bao thought to himself, if he could defeat Liu Bei, this world-renowned hero, it would be too easy for him to seize the position of Chanyu later!

Five days later,

Liu Bao looked into the distance at the Liu army opposite.

"A mere ten thousand men, including four thousand infantry, and he dares to meet us head-on? Is Liu Bei in such a hurry to die?"

"Huyan, Cuodun, lead your troops to charge!"

"Understood!"

On the wilderness, the low sound of horns blared, and the war drums sounded.

Boom!

"Kill!"

"Kill all the Han soldiers!"

Two ten-thousand-man Xiongnu squads shouted and charged toward Liu Bei's side.

The earth shook, horse hooves splashed, and countless dust rose!

They had no tight formation, no armor; they relied on their numerical advantage and archery!

Liu Bei looked at the Xiongnu cavalry opposite and turned to look at Jia Kui.

"Liangdao, what do you think of the Xiongnu cavalry?"

Jia Kui cupped his hands.

"My lord, the Xiongnu cavalry looks fierce, but in reality, they are just a swarm. Our army should mainly hold the formation steadily and shoot them with heavy crossbows; they will collapse without being attacked."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Good, Liangdao truly has a sharp eye."

"My lord, you flatter me."

The barrage in the live broadcast room also increased.

"That eared thief is so calm; he's starting to look like a great lord!"

"This Jia Kui also looks good."

"There are thirty thousand men opposite; Liu Bei, don't capsize in the gutter!"

"It's a pity I can't go to the late Han Dynasty; otherwise, taking over Zou Shi, Lady Gan, and Cai Yan would be absolutely great!"

Gao Shun stared at the Xiongnu cavalry charging toward them, and when they reached the range of the crossbow arrows, he waved his command flag.

"Shoot!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two thousand crossbowmen divided into three batches and fired crossbow arrows forward!

Their movements were skilled, and their speed was fast.

For a time, arrows fell like rain, like flying locusts.

The open ground between the two sides seemed to be occupied by arrows.

"Bang!"

A Xiongnu cavalryman was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse!

The second,

The third...

Soon, large swaths of Xiongnu cavalry fell to the ground, trampled to death by the other cavalry behind them!

On the battlefield, besides the whistling sound of crossbow arrows, there was more of the neighing of warhorses and the screams of the Xiongnu.

"Quick, they can't shoot many rounds of arrows! If we get close, they're finished!"

The ten-thousand-man commander roared!

The Xiongnu paid the price of four thousand men and finally got close to Liu Bei's side.

Liu Bei still did not send out Xu Huang's cavalry battalion.

Gao Shun waved his command flag.

"Shields!"

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

A row of thick and tall shields was erected!

The Xiongnu cavalry crashed into the shields and fell to the ground; people and horses blocked the way, tripping the cavalry behind them!

"Spears!"

Sharp long spears thrust out from the gaps, beginning to kill the Xiongnu!

"Shoot upward!"

The crossbowmen began to shoot upward.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The arrows fell in a parabola into the Xiongnu cavalry formation, causing massive casualties!

The Xiongnu also bent their bows and set arrows to counterattack.

Unfortunately, they lacked ironware, and their arrowheads could hardly pierce the armor of the soldiers of the Trap Camp.

Only the Xiongnu with excellent archery skills could cause casualties!

The gap in weapons and armor between the two sides was too large!

It could be said that the battlefield was one-sided; the Xiongnu were being frantically harvested!

Half an hour later,

The Xiongnu's twenty-thousand-man cavalry squad had lost nearly ten thousand, and their morale had fallen to the extreme.

They were desperate; the four thousand infantry opposite were like mountains that could not be shaken!

Liu Bei waved his hand.

The cavalry battalion led by Xu Huang and Wang Ling flanked from both sides.

Almost instantly, the Xiongnu collapsed, frantically whipping their horses to run toward the back!

The wilderness was full of fleeing Xiongnu soldiers.

Liu Bao was stunned; he hadn't expected his twenty thousand men to be so unable to fight!

"Go back! All of you, go back!"

Liu Bao ordered his soldiers to try to drive these routed troops back to fight, but it had no effect at all; instead, his own pitiful formation was also thrown into chaos!
