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...
Passing through a sea of soldiers, no innocent souls lie beneath the halberds.
Lu Bu's bravery greatly boosted the morale of Yufuluo and his soldiers.
With Yufuluo's shout, countless Southern Xiongnu soldiers gathered towards where Lü Bu was.
Lu Bu, on the other hand, transformed into the head of a sharp blade, leading Yu Fuluo and others straight into the enemy's heart.
For a time, the Southern Xiongnu forces, who were originally at a complete disadvantage, had a glimmer of hope for a comeback.
The presence of a super-powerful general has introduced a degree of uncertainty into this battle.
Under the eagle flag, Xie Zhiyu watched Lu Bu approaching and momentarily considered running away, but quickly banished the ridiculous thought from his mind.
He knew that Yufulo and his men were already at their limit, and that he only needed to hold out for a little while longer to achieve a great victory.
Then, with a "clang," Xie Zhi drew his curved sword, the tip pointing directly at Lü Bu, who was charging into battle.
"Warriors, you are all descendants of the Sirius God. This banner is the glory of our Great Xiongnu. I will never retreat, even at the cost of my life. In just a moment, we will be victorious!"
Xie Zhiyu's roar was loud and firm, and the soldiers around him who were originally afraid of Lü Bu's power were greatly encouraged.
"Protect the King...!"
"Protect my honor...!"
In an instant, countless Northern Xiongnu soldiers quickly gathered around Xie Zhiyu and charged towards Lü Bu fearlessly.
Many people launched suicidal attacks on Lü Bu, directly using their bodies to crash into the halberd in his hand, while others attacked the warhorse beneath him, attempting to pull him off his horse.
Faced with the endless stream of Xiongnu soldiers charging forward, Lü Bu finally stopped advancing.
At this moment, the right wing of the Northern Xiongnu also joined the battle, completely surrounding all the Southern Xiongnu soldiers.
Lu Bu stared intently at Xie Zhiyu in the distance with his bloodshot eyes, and charged several times to try to kill him, but more and more Northern Xiongnu soldiers surrounded him.
Faced with seemingly endless enemies, Lü Bu not only failed to advance an inch, but also suffered many wounds, and even his warhorse was covered in cuts.
The pain in his body and the shouts of battle around him brought Lu Bu back to his senses. Yu Fuluo and the others who had followed behind him had also suffered heavy casualties. The last glimmer of hope for victory had completely vanished.
"withdraw!!"
Seeing this, Lü Bu roared and turned his horse around to charge towards the outer edge of the battlefield, with Yu Fuluo and the others following closely behind.
Seeing Lü Bu turn around, both Xie Zhiyu and the surrounding Northern Xiongnu soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, having no intention of pursuing him.
Soon, under Lü Bu's leadership, Yufuluo and the remaining Southern Xiongnu soldiers successfully broke through the encirclement and fled south.
The Northern Xiongnu soldiers cheered and charged toward the Jie prisoners and their valuables.
"Ah~, it's Lord Zuo Xian Wang!"
The Jie priest's eyes lit up when he saw Xie Zhiyu riding towards them. A smile of relief spread across his face as he quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Thank you so much, Lord Zuo Xian Wang, for your bravery in saving us. We are extremely grateful!"
"No... I didn't come to save you!"
Looking at the Jie priest in front of him, Xie Zhiyu shook his head slightly, a cruel smile appearing on his face.
"No...you're not here to rescue us? Then Your Majesty, who are you...?"
The Jie priest was taken aback; Xie Zhiyu's smile made him feel uneasy.
"Of course...we'll send you to meet your God!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Zhi swiftly swung his curved blade, aiming for the priest's neck.
The blade flashed, and blood spurted from the Jie priest's throat. He then fell straight backward, his wide eyes filled with fear and confusion.
After killing the Jie priest, Xie Zhiyu coldly looked at the group of trembling Jie prisoners, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
"Kill all these beasts! Leave no one alive!!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!!"
At Xie Zhiyu's command, the soldiers, their hearts filled with rage, began to slaughter the Jie people.
In an instant, cries of agony echoed in all directions.
Looking at the corpses of the Jie people scattered all over the ground, Xie Zhiyu revealed a hint of pleasure on his face.
"Your Majesty, according to scouts, Tan Shihuai is stationed fifty miles north of our army. Should we attack?"
"Alright, take these cattle, sheep, valuables, and armor with you, and let's retreat!"
Xie Zhi glanced northward, then shook his head.
"Waaaaah!"
As the retreat horns sounded, the Northern Xiongnu soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.
Before long, Xie Zhiyu led his army away from the place, leaving behind only the corpses of the Jie people scattered all over the ground.
On the other side, Yufuluo and his men, who had been fleeing for a long time, saw that Xie Zhiyu's army had not pursued them, so they ordered a temporary rest.
At this time, the noble leaders who had followed Yufuluo in the Southern Xiongnu army had been almost all killed or wounded. Apart from the soldiers who had fled in battle, there were only about four thousand men left.
The 20,000-strong army arrived excitedly, only to find nothing and nearly be wiped out. They even lost all the armor provided by the Han army, suffering heavy losses.
Upon seeing the battle casualty statistics, Huvro could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood. His vision went black, and he fainted.
On the other side, Lü Bu squatted silently on the ground, staring at his beloved horse with bloodshot eyes.
