Previously, the imperial court forbade them from killing the Xiongnu people, fearing it would cause unrest on the border!

Now that the Xiongnu have dared to attack them, it would be against all reason if they continued to back down.

Lü Bu immediately took the lead, drew his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the Left Grand Commandant of the Xiongnu.

ah!

A scream!

The Left Grand Commandant originally thought they would strike first and catch the other side off guard.

However, the other side saw through their intentions and made the first move.

In that moment of shock, he was shot off his horse by an arrow from Lü Bu, and his fate was unknown!

The Xiongnu generals around the Left Grand Commandant immediately erupted in chaos, shouting and yelling.

Upon hearing the sound, the Xiongnu cavalry moved and pressed close towards the thousand Han soldiers.

Lu Bu struck with his arrow, brandished his halberd, and charged into the midst of the Xiongnu cavalry!

Wherever he went, corpses littered the ground; no one could stand against him, and the Xiongnu cavalry fell like dumplings.

Ding Yuan commanded his soldiers to follow closely.

The soldiers carried tens of thousands of kilograms of salt, iron, and armor, each carrying less than ten kilograms.

It's fine for traveling, but it makes movement a bit inconvenient when fighting.

Overall, it's alright!

"We must not let these supplies fall into enemy hands!"

Ding Yuan made up his mind: "The whole army should charge south. Once we enter the valley, we will have no fear of the Xiongnu cavalry!"

The valley is narrow, so as long as someone covers the rear, they can cover everyone's retreat.

Just as Lü Bu led everyone south, the ground trembled, and countless warhorses appeared.

One team charged towards them, while the other headed straight for the southern valley, seemingly intending to block Ding Yuan and his group's retreat.

"Sir, what should we do?"

With his retreat cut off, there was no way back to Pianguan. To the north and west were Xiongnu cavalry. Zhang Yang was extremely anxious.

"Head east, to Yanmen Pass!"

Ding Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up!
