Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
On the other side, the Xiongnu Left Wise King and others were also keeping a close eye on the situation of the Juyan people in the tribe.
"Report!! Your Majesty, they are all waiting for the meal and have all dismounted!!"
Upon hearing the scout's report, the Left Wise King couldn't help but show a look of delight.
Immediately, the Left Wise King shouted, "Good!! Pass on my order: advance at full speed and wipe them out completely!"
"promise!!"
The soldiers responded in unison, then spurred their warhorses and charged toward the tribe where the Juyan people were stationed.
Meanwhile, Tuomao led his men to escape without alerting anyone. As a result, the Juyan people continued to sit around the campfires, laughing and chatting, completely unaware that danger had befallen them.
Looking at the golden-brown roasted lamb above the campfire and smelling the aroma of meat in the air, everyone couldn't help but salivate.
"Alright, we can eat now!"
As the roast lamb was taken off the rack, the crowd cheered and rushed forward to grab it.
A soldier from the guard, carrying a stolen leg of lamb, ran excitedly toward the large tent where Tuo Mao was located.
"Captain, I've brought you the fattest leg of lamb, please try it...! Huh? Where did he go?"
The guards, carrying a leg of lamb, rushed into the tent with great excitement, only to find it completely empty, and were momentarily stunned.
"Boom!!!"
Just as the guards were stunned, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the tent.
"not good!!"
Upon hearing the sound of hooves, the soldier's expression changed, and he dropped the lamb leg in his hand and ran outside.
"This is...! The Huns?"
The soldiers who had just run out of the tent saw that the Xiongnu cavalry had already rushed close, and their faces turned pale instantly.
At this moment, the Juyan people in the tribe, who were preparing to eat, were thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of the Xiongnu. Everyone frantically searched for their weapons and horses.
"Hmph, what a rabble! The flanks are responsible for flanking and encircling them, while the central force charges straight in. Don't let a single Juyan man escape!!"
Looking at the chaotic scene in the tribe, the Left Wise King on horseback couldn't help but snort coldly. He really couldn't understand where such a bunch of good-for-nothings got the courage to provoke the Xiongnu people.
Just as the Juyan people were running around like headless flies, the Left Wise King shouted, and the Xiongnu soldiers in the central army spurred their horses and charged straight into the tribe.
Meanwhile, the Xiongnu cavalry responsible for encircling the tribe on both flanks circled around to the sides of the tribe, forming a crescent shape, and charged in from the left and right.
The Xiongnu soldiers, filled with hatred, swung their scimitars with bloodshot eyes, slaughtering the panicked Juyan people who had fled in disarray.
In an instant, the roars of the Xiongnu, the shouts of battle, and the screams of the Juyan people filled the entire tribe.
Faced with the sudden attack of the Xiongnu cavalry, the newly recruited and surviving young men of Juyan were utterly powerless to resist.
Moreover, having received no training, they had long since forgotten where they had thrown their weapons before mealtime. Now, running around empty-handed, facing the fierce Hun cavalry on horseback, all that awaited them was slaughter.
On the other side, although the regular cavalry of Juyan and the guards under the Juyan nobles reacted quickly, it was to no avail.
Although their fighting strength was higher than that of the newly recruited Juyan people, it was far inferior to that of the Xiongnu cavalry. Moreover, many of them did not have time to mount their warhorses when faced with the sudden attack of the Xiongnu cavalry.
Furthermore, with Tuo Mao's sudden escape, the Juyan cavalry, now without command, and the guards under those officials and nobles, were not much better than the recruited Juyan youths.
Although there were a few scattered resistance fighters, their resistance was like a small flame in the ocean, extinguished instantly by the overwhelming Xiongnu cavalry.
At this time, the entire tribe was engaged in a one-sided massacre. In the eyes of the Xiongnu, killing those Juyan people who were running around everywhere was easier than stepping on ants.
In a short while, the Xiongnu cavalry in the center of the army had already reached the center of the tribe, and the Xiongnu cavalry on both flanks responsible for encircling the tribe had also wiped out all the Juyan people on the outer perimeter.
From the air, the Xiongnu cavalry had now formed a circle, and inside the circle were the Juyan people waiting for their deaths.
"Where's your captain? Where did Tuo Mao go?"
In the chaos, the captain of the guards under Juyan Left Prime Minister Ta Xing found the soldier of Juyan King's Guard and loudly inquired about the whereabouts of the spear.
The soldier shook his head. "I don't know! When I got there, our captain was already gone!"
"That bastard!! He must have run away secretly!"
The captain of Ta Xing's guards couldn't help but curse, seeing that they were surrounded by densely packed Xiongnu cavalry, like an iron barrel.
"It's over! This time it's completely over!!"
Hearing the screams of those around him, the captain of Ta Xing's guards stood there with a look of despair on his face.
Just then, a Xiongnu cavalryman rushed forward. Hearing the commotion, the guard captain turned his head and saw a flash of light before his eyes. He then felt a pain in his throat and collapsed to the ground.
In the end, all five thousand Juyan soldiers in the tribe were slaughtered, while the Xiongnu cavalry suffered only about three hundred casualties.
As the battle ended, the Xiongnu Left Wise King closed his eyes and savored the bloody smell in the air.
Then the Left Wise King opened his eyes and looked at the corpses of the Juyan people all around him. A ruthless look appeared on his face.
