This current story features Xiongnu cavalry who have just left Sheyanze and are heading to the Straight Road to search for traces of the Han army.

They were like cheetahs, searching for their prey across the undulating Loess Plateau.

They didn't know where their target was, so they could only rely on their intuition and experience to search step by step along the straight path.

The Xiongnu centurion who led the troops was named Helian Ji, a common surname among the Xiongnu tribes.

Helian Bobo, the Southern Xiongnu's number one warrior who was killed by Liu Wei with a single blow, was the chieftain of this centurion.

His two brothers died in Shanwu, his wife and daughter were taken away by Yao Guangxiao in Meiji, and his elderly parents were driven into the vast plateau to fend for themselves.

Helian Ji and the Han army in the Hetao region were sworn enemies!

When Shi Tugu was selecting men to ambush the prince from the Hetao region, Helian Ji was the first to step forward.

He was a burly man, clad in heavy wolf-skin armor, wielding a spear and a scimitar, exuding a chilling aura of killing intent.

The three hundred cavalrymen he led were all carefully selected warriors, skilled in archery and horsemanship, and brave and fearless.

Most importantly, each of them harbored deep hatred for the Han army in the Hetao region.

As the sun sets and night falls, the wind on the plateau becomes even more biting.

Helian Ji pointed to the hill ahead and said to his subordinates, "After we get past that hill, we'll find a sheltered place there to camp and rest tonight."

"Alright, let's pass on the order and hurry on our way."

The subordinate replied immediately.

The three hundred cavalrymen immediately quickened their pace and surged towards the hill ahead.

Suddenly a whistle rang out, and eighteen dark figures appeared, lined up in a row, blocking the middle of the road.

"Who goes there? How dare you block our way? Don't you want to live?"

Helian Ji was furious. "Charge over there and crush them into mincemeat!"
