Murong Hu's pupils constricted, and his breathing became rapid.

He never imagined that his ten outstanding warriors would be gone just like that!

Ten warriors, not ten pigs.

Murong Hu was deeply shocked at this moment.

Thinking of the high hopes that Tuoba Gao had for him, he held his bronze cudgel horizontally, gritted his teeth, and spurred his horse to charge towards Xue Rengui.

Without exchanging a word, the two immediately began fighting.

One was a seasoned general of the Xianbei, the other an unparalleled war god!

With halberds and clubs clashing, the two fought faster and faster.

The surrounding cavalrymen forgot their fighting and stopped to watch this rare sight.

Before long, the two figures could no longer be seen.

Sand and stones flew, and dust billowed everywhere.

Although Murong Hu was the strongest warrior among the Xianbei people, he encountered Xue Rengui.

After only ten moves, Murong Hu's breathing became heavy.

Xue Rengui's strength was extraordinary. His 72-pound halberd slammed down again and again, and Murong Hu was shaken as if struck by a heavy drum, his mind reeling and his soul leaving his body.

The area between my thumb and forefinger was cracked, my arm was sore and numb, and I felt an indescribable sense of frustration.

Relying on his youthful vigor, Xue Rengui didn't bother with any tricks and fiercely attacked with his halberd.

boom!

After another all-out strike, Murong Hu was drenched in sweat, and his lips were trembling uncontrollably.

"This little brat is bullying me because I'm older."

Murong Hu thought bitterly, not daring to be careless, and raised his stick to block the attack.

Hurry!

Although Murong Hu managed to block the attack, his warhorse couldn't withstand the force of the impact, its hooves buckled, and it knelt down.

Murong Hu then fell off his horse.

He quickly and awkwardly did a lazy roll.

"middle!"

Before Murong Hu could even get out of there, Xue Rengui swung his halberd at Murong Hu's throat with a thunderous strike!

Blood splattered instantly as the crescent-shaped halberd severed Murong Hu's head.

Glug glug!

Murong Hu's head rolled far away, his eyes wide open, his white beard stained with specks of blood.

He seemed unwilling to die.

"Lord Sheep...Lord Sheep is dead!"

Among the Xianbei cavalry, someone cried out in alarm.

The surrounding Xianbei cavalrymen also cried out in panic one after another, and fear spread like a plague.

The morale of the Xianbei cavalry plummeted!

Wherever Xue Rengui went, all the Xianbei cavalrymen retreated in fear.

Even Murong Hu, the strongest warrior, died at his hands. Who else would dare to challenge his might?

"This...how is this possible? Are Han Chinese generals really that strong?"

The news of Murong Hu and the Ten Tiger Warriors' deaths reached Tuoba Gao's ears immediately. He muttered to himself, unable to believe it was true.

In his eyes, Murong Hu was an invincible being!

"Khan, I must go to war and avenge my father!"

Upon hearing that his father, who was as fierce as a tiger, had died in battle, Murong Que, the deputy commander of the Tiger-Striped Cavalry, was filled with rage and his eyes turned bloodshot.

He roared loudly.

Another deputy commander, Tuoba Xiong, also volunteered for the battle.

Murong Hu was also his master!

"The Khan is also heartbroken by the death of Lord Yangzhen in battle!"

Tuoba Gao resisted the urge to send his Tiger-Striped Cavalry into battle.

Because at this moment, ten thousand Han cavalrymen had charged into his ten thousand-strong central army and even killed Murong Hu in battle!

But they were in high spirits at that moment.

Tuoba Gao was waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

"It is precisely at times like these that we must remain clear-headed!"

"I promise, I will make sure you and your Tiger-Striped Cavalry trample them into mincemeat!"

After Murong Hu died in battle, Tuoba Gao's eyes turned red, and he vowed to wipe out all 10,000 men!

However, once he became Khan, his temperament naturally differed from that of ordinary people, and he was not swayed by emotions in his decisions.

On the battlefield, people die every second.

If we're all going to grieve, then what's the point of fighting a war?

Just then, Yuwen Lie and Qu Bei's 20,000 men had already reached the foot of Yunzhong City and were shooting arrows at the city walls.

There's no need to waste so many troops here.

In addition, the army of Qubei also had a batch of siege equipment.

According to intelligence gathered by spies, in addition to the 10,000 cavalry, there are only a small number of infantry in Cloud City.

If all 10,000 cavalrymen have now left the city for open battle, then there won't be many soldiers left in the city who can fight.

Tuoba Gao did not allow them to participate in field battles, but instead sent them to attack cities.

A two-pronged approach!

After Xue Rengui killed Murong Hu, the offensive of the 10,000 cavalrymen slowed down slightly.

Although Xue Rengui was strong, there were too many Xianbei cavalrymen, and they seemed endless in number.

After all, they were surrounded by 30,000 Xianbei cavalry.

It was surrounded by layers upon layers, completely impenetrable.

"General Xue, we only tied down the Xianbei's central army. The two flanks did not participate in the siege but instead went to attack the city!"

What should we do?

Liu Du, leading the three guards of Duoyan, was fighting on the left flank when he discovered that the Xianbei troops on the left flank had not come to attack. So he quickly rode his horse to Xue Rengui's side to ask for instructions.

"They still want to attack the city. Although our lord only has ten thousand laborers in the city, these ten thousand laborers are not to be trifled with!"

"It doesn't matter if they don't come! We'll break through their central army first and strike straight at their heart!"

After sweeping away four or five Xianbei cavalrymen, Xue Rengui stopped, sneered, and replied to Liu Du.

"In a moment, you will protect the military flag and keep moving forward. Lead the light cavalry of the three battalions and fight your way through!"

Xue Rengui pointed to the large flag in the cavalry camp and said, "I will personally lead the Xuanjia Cavalry!"

"I have a feeling that the Xianbei Tiger-Striped Cavalry will be mobilized soon."
