In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Liu Wei transmigrated to become a prince of the Eastern Han, initially framed by Empress Dowager He and granted the barren and dangero...
Immediately afterwards, Xue Rengui didn't even glance at the Xiutu. His halberd flashed, and the oncoming Xiongnu cavalrymen fell from their horses one after another.
Xiutu's thousand cavalrymen were ripped in half alive.
The two armies clashed, and in an instant, most of them fell.
hiss!
How come the Han army's cavalry is so powerful?
Jiankun, who was slightly behind, did not encounter Xue Rengui.
His thousand-man unit intended to cut off Xue Rengui's thousand-man cavalry in half.
Unfortunately, he lacked the strength. Although he knocked down many Han Chinese cavalrymen on the side, he was unable to cut them off.
In that very instant, Xue Rengui led a thousand cavalrymen to cut through Xiutu's thousand-man unit while simultaneously escaping Jiankun's waist-cutting attack.
Jiankun then discovered that his good brother Xiutu was missing.
Could it be that he was defeated by this young general in white robes in just one round of charging into battle?
This young man, judging from his appearance, is a fair-skinned young man.
The more this is the case, the more we must not let our guard down!
Jiankun was cautious and deliberately slowed down, not rushing to the front, but letting the other Xiongnu cavalry go to their deaths first!
Over there, Xue Rengui maintained his formation, circled around briefly, then turned and charged towards Jian Kun!
Xue Rengui would never charge into the Xiongnu cavalry in the rear.
There were at least five or six thousand cavalrymen behind them.
Xue Rengui came to lure the enemy, not to get himself into danger.
Although a thousand cavalrymen could easily overwhelm the Xiongnu cavalry in one-on-one combat, they still had to be careful when facing an enemy force several times their size.
After all, the fighting power of the Xiongnu cavalry should not be underestimated.
boom!
The two cavalry units clashed again!
Warhorses neighed in agony, and men and horses fell to the ground.
Although the weapons, armor, and warhorses of these thousand cavalrymen were only basic military equipment from the system shop, they were better equipped than the elite troops of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
Moreover, they are the model of the White Robe Army, and they also have Xue Rengui's 10% combat power bonus.
In a one-on-one situation, dealing with the current Xiongnu cavalry would be a piece of cake.
These Xiongnu cavalrymen rode good horses, and they traversed the terrain as if it were flat ground.
However, they lacked iron tools, and their weapons were obtained by robbing Han people or by purchasing weapons that had been phased out by the Eastern Han court using large quantities of cattle, sheep, and horses.
As for armor, it's just leather armor!
The thousand suits of armor that the Eastern Han court promised to give Qiangqu were old and worn-out suits that had been stored in the warehouse of the Bingzhou governor's office for many years.
Therefore, Xue Rengui easily routed Jian Kun's thousand-man team.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiankun turned his horse around and tried to escape while his cavalrymen were rushing forward to their deaths.
By this time he had already seen that Hugh was dead.
His head and face were trampled beyond recognition by the warhorse.
If it weren't for his uniform as a commander of a thousand cavalry, Jiankun wouldn't have recognized him at all!
I will soon follow in Xiu Tu's footsteps!
Jian Kun felt a chill run down his spine. He spurred his horse and galloped far away!
"Trying to leave? No way!"
Although Xue Rengui was constantly killing enemies, he was always keeping an eye on the overall situation.
He saw other Xiongnu cavalrymen fighting, but one man was retreating.
Needless to say, this person must be a military officer.
Only those officers who are afraid of death would send their men to their deaths while they themselves flee to survive!
After sweeping away five Xiongnu cavalrymen with his halberd, Xue Rengui put down the halberd and took out the Zhentian Bow!
Whoosh!
An arrow pierced through the ranks of the Xiongnu cavalry and embedded itself in Jiankun's back.
Jiankun screamed and fell off his horse, going to join his good brother Xiutu.
With two commanders of a thousand cavalry killed so quickly, the cavalry under his command lost the will to fight and hastily retreated.
Xue Rengui led his cavalry in pursuit.
Of the two thousand-man squads of Xiongnu cavalry, only six or seven hundred men remained and ran back to the Sun Chaser King's camp!
The battlefield was littered with the corpses of numerous Xiongnu cavalrymen and stray warhorses.
The Sun King, who was watching from the rear, was dumbfounded!
How come our cavalry are seen by others as nothing more than paper or mud, so easily defeated!
Xiutu and Jiankun were his two trusted subordinates, how could they have died so quickly!
After the enemy repelled the King of Chasing the Sun's two thousand cavalry, they deliberately came within two hundred paces of the King of Chasing the Sun's troops and brazenly cut off the heads of the Xiongnu cavalrymen on the ground.
If you encounter one that isn't quite dead, just finish it off with a shot.
"Ugh, I'm so angry! I still have eight thousand cavalrymen here! How dare they be so arrogant?"
Upon seeing this, King Zhu Ri was so angry that he vomited blood.
The other party completely disregarded him!
"Kill! Kill them all! All troops, attack!"
The King of the Sun finally couldn't hold back any longer!
Instantly, eight thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen charged forward like locusts!
"It's time to retreat!"
Xue Rengui looked at the Xiongnu cavalry that were coming like a tide.
With a cold laugh, he waved his hand, ordering the thousand cavalry to go first while he covered the rear, and slowly retreated into the valley.
As they retreated, they kept turning back to shoot arrows.
The Xiongnu cavalry at the forefront fell one after another, struck by arrow after arrow.
This further fueled the Sun Chaser King's rage. He gritted his teeth and vowed to catch up with the Han cavalry and tear them to pieces.
Thus, Xue Rengui retreated, while the King of Chasing the Sun pursued.
Xue Rengui also ordered his cavalry to leave behind weapons, armor, flags, and even warhorses along the way, making it appear as if they were fleeing in disarray.
They ran for four or five miles, one after the other, and had already entered the depths of the valley.
The originally bulky and massive Xiongnu pursuers transformed into a long snake in the valley.
Looking at the steep mountains on both sides, King Zhu Ri felt an ominous premonition arise in his heart.
"Stop! Send a thousand men to scout the situation first!" he ordered immediately.
The widest part of the valley could accommodate thirty riders abreast, and these eight thousand cavalrymen ran for at least a mile or two.
