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...
"yes!"
The messenger agreed and rode away.
Soon, the 10,000 cavalry on the left wing of the Xiongnu also moved, charging towards the right flank of Zhang Xiu's army.
Facing the Xiongnu cavalry, Zhang Xiu chose to ignore them and continued to lead his cavalry diagonally towards the rear of the central battlefield.
Seeing this, the Xiongnu cavalry also steered their horses toward Zhang Xiu's army, and then drew their bows and nocked arrows.
Just as the two sides were about to pass each other, a hundred paces apart, the Xiongnu soldier loosened the bowstring.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!"
With a series of whooshing sounds, a dense barrage of arrows shot towards Zhang Xiu's army.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu quickly twirled his White Dragon Spear, deflecting the whistling arrows to the side. A few stray arrows struck his armor but were deflected, causing no harm to Zhang Xiu whatsoever.
Although Zhang Xiu escaped injury thanks to his martial arts skills and armor, the Western Region cavalry behind him were not so lucky. In this single wave of attack, more than 300 Western Region cavalrymen were shot down and captured.
Hearing the cries of agony from behind, Zhang Xiu suppressed his urge to charge and, choosing to ignore them, continued leading his army toward the central battlefield.
Soon, Zhang Xiu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou were the first to charge into the left flank of the rear ranks of the Xiongnu army.
Every time Zhang Xiu thrust out his White Dragon Spear, a spray of blood would appear.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were also unstoppable, their spears unmatched.
With the charge of the Western Region cavalry, the stalemate between the two sides was broken, and the previously stable rear formation of the Xiongnu army also became somewhat chaotic.
Exhausted and panting heavily, Xu Chu and the others roared again and began to charge forward with all their might.
After a brief battle, the last rank of the Xiongnu army was finally defeated.
"Order the reserves to advance!!"
Seeing that the three military formations had been defeated one after another, Xie Zhiyu also sent 20,000 reserve troops forward.
Faced with the sudden surge of fresh troops, the exhausted Western Regions allied forces were forced to retreat in droves, and even Zhang Xiu and his men were forced to stop.
"Sound the retreat!!"
Seeing the situation, Yuan Shao immediately ordered the retreat to begin.
"Ding ding ding~!"
As a crisp golden sound rang out, Xu Chu, Zhang Xiu, and the others turned around without hesitation, leaving the entangled allied soldiers behind.
