[Ding! The Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu has gained 9999 rage points.]

[Ding! Princess Hanxiang of the Xiongnu has increased her anger level by 2223.]

[Ding! The rage value from the Xiongnu Left Guli King has increased by 2142]

[Ding! From the Xiongnu commander...]

System notification sounds rang out one after another.

Jiang Tian opened the system.

[Ding, Grand Secretary Pang Hao's anger level increased by 5212]

[Ding, Madam Pang's rage value +1213]

[Ding, Madam Pang's anger level increased by 2112]

【bite……】

This anger not only stemmed from the Xiongnu Chanyu, but also from the Pang family.

The Pang family must be furious.

These days, Jiang Tian has been receiving angry messages from Pang Hao's family from time to time.

Pang Hao's family alone contributed over 100,000 anger points to him.

However, this Xiongnu Chanyu contributed over nine thousand rage points to himself in one go, making him a true experience booster.

Wait a minute... The Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu is not dead yet, so who is this Princess Hanxiang?

Where did they go?

The main force entered the city.

Li Guang had already led his men to pile up heads at the entrance of the royal palace in the Xiongnu royal court.

Qin Hongyu jumped off the carriage and looked at everything with surprise: "Big Brother, how did you come up with such a powerful method?"

"Even if we leave the Xiongnu royal court, the Xiongnu people will be terrified and at a loss when they see the mountains of heads."

"What's the big deal?" Jiang Tian looked at the Xiongnu royal court, which had been burned beyond recognition, and felt a little sorry.

…………

The sacred site where the Xiongnu worshipped Heaven is surrounded by towering mountains that reach into the clouds, with mist swirling around the peaks.

Eagles and vultures circled in the air.

Every now and then, a falcon would swoop down from the sky, snatch up a fat sheep, and spread its wings to fly into the air.

The howls of wolves could be heard from a distance every now and then.

In the distance, herds of antelopes and gazelles grazed with their heads down. When they heard the howling of wolves, they all raised their heads. If they realized something was wrong, they took off running.

“General,” a centurion rode up to Huo Qubing’s side. Our guide said that ahead was the sacred site of the Xiongnu’s sacrificial ceremony to Heaven.

Huo Qubing saw the wild grass trampled by his warhorses and quickly dismounted, saying, "A large army has passed through here in the past few days."

These hoof prints are clearly visible, and there are also many wheel ruts mixed in with the hoof prints.

“General, the Xiongnu who escaped from the capital city are very likely to have gone to the sacred site for worshipping Heaven,” the commander said, pointing to the distant mountains.

Huo Qubing mounted his horse and said, "Bring that guide to me. I have something to ask him."

"promise,"

Soon, a guide with a somewhat sleazy appearance was brought over.

Huo Qubing took out a gold ingot from his pocket; this gold ingot weighed a full twenty taels.

Huo Qubing tossed the gold to the guide: "How many people went to the sacred site for the sacrificial ceremony?"

"Tens of thousands of people, most of whom were skilled and brave Xiongnu warriors."

"How do I get there?"

“General,” the guide shook his head, “it is absolutely impossible for the General to attack the sacred site of the Heavenly Sacrifice.”

"Why?" Huo Qubing asked.

"Only the Xiongnu Chanyu and members of the royal family could go to the sacred site of the Xiongnu's sacrificial ceremony. There, the cliffs rise high into the clouds, and there is only a narrow path leading to the top of the mountain."

One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.

The mountain path was riddled with traps and obstacles; even without them, the team would have had a difficult time climbing the mountain.

"A stone thrown down from the mountain can easily kill a climber."

Upon hearing this, Huo Qubing immediately ordered his men to speed up the march.

He wanted to see if this sacred site for the Xiongnu's heaven-worshiping ceremony was as the guide had described.

"Soldiers, quicken your pace!"

"The Xiongnu Chanyu was not far away, so we killed him."

Huo Qubing's men were all burning with rage; they all wanted to kill the Xiongnu Chanyu.

On the night of the attack on the Xiongnu royal court, if Jiang Tian hadn't descended from the sky, they would most likely have died inside the royal city.

"General, rest assured, this time we will definitely cut off the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu."

"Charge forward and wipe them out."

Half an hour later, the group rushed to the front of the sacred sacrificial site.

Suddenly, countless arrows and huge stones fell from the sky.

Because the Xiongnu shot arrows from high altitudes, those arrows traveled very far and were extremely fast.

Those huge rocks fell, and anyone who hit them, even if they were wearing sturdy armor, would be injured or killed.

Huo Qubing was greatly surprised when he saw it.

"Everyone, retreat 200 steps!" Huo Qubing gritted his teeth in anger as he watched the stones and rain arrows falling from the sky.

Just as the guide had said, there was only one narrow path leading to the summit.

This narrow path was completely impassable for the large army.

As for cavalry, needless to say.

They wore bright armor and carried horse-slaying swords.

But if the other side just throws stones and logs down from the mountain, they can be smashed into mincemeat.

Huo Qubing waved to the guide.

"Aside from this narrow path, are there any other roads?"

The guide shook his head: "There is a saying among us Xiongnu people: there has only ever been one road to the sacred site of the Heaven Worship Ceremony."

This is also why this place was chosen as a sacred site for offering sacrifices to Heaven.

"Then how did they manage to get tens of thousands of troops up the mountain?"

“General, those cavalrymen who followed the Xiongnu Chanyu have traveled back and forth to the sacred site of the Heaven-worshiping ceremony countless times. They know the way very well.”

"Then can we surround this place? There are tens of thousands of people on the mountain. Even if they starve, we can starve them to death."

The guide shook his head again: "General, you may not know this, but behind the sacred site of the Heaven-worship ceremony is a vast mountain range where herds of cattle and sheep graze."

There are also clear springs on the mountain.

They were neither hungry nor thirsty at the sacred site of the sacrificial ceremony.

Upon hearing this, Huo Qubing flew into a rage.

"Then there's no other way to the top of the mountain? Since there are cattle and sheep on this mountain, did they all go up this path?" Huo Qubing pointed his Silver Dragon Reverse Scale Spear at the guide's chest.

“General, if you don’t believe me, you can send someone to investigate.” The Xiongnu guide was not afraid at all. He straightened his chest and said, “If you want to find other routes, there are other options.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Qubing put away his Silver Dragon Reverse Scale Spear.

"However, the general needs to lead his men on a long detour, and it will probably take at least half a year to get around."

The hope that had ignited in Huo Qubing's heart was instantly extinguished.

He rode his warhorse and looked around. The cliffs here were sheer and towering, and as far as the eye could see, there were only precipices.

Even if we could find the way, we wouldn't know how far we'd have to go.

"Am I destined to return empty-handed this time?" Huo Qubing was unwilling to accept this.

"General, is it permissible to set the mountain on fire?" Zhu Pingshan asked from the side. "General, when our Lord Jiang attacked Wild Wolf Valley, he set fire to the valley, and the fire spread rapidly along the valley."
