The people sent by the Northern Barbarians this time were all from Huruchi's own tribe.

Huruchi's tribe wasn't the largest in the Northern Barbarians, but every single one of them was extremely skilled in combat.

The reason for sending 3,000 people this time is to demonstrate our determination to cooperate with the Heaven and Earth Society.

Although this time, right under Huruchi's nose, Liu Feng tricked him badly.

It's reasonable for Huruchi to get angry and send out a large army, but the only thing he shouldn't have done was get angry at this time.

Although it was an army of three thousand, Huruchi had his own plans. His troops also had to guard against internal strife on the grasslands and prevent anyone from threatening his throne as Khan.

So although the people they sent out were capable fighters, each of them was a criminal.

Of course, it wouldn't work if they were all criminals with criminal records, so five hundred of his own elite cavalrymen were added to the group.

Almost all those who are dying now are these criminals, so their deaths cause Sora almost no ripples.

The goal is simple: to take this city as quickly as possible.

The cavalry's first wave of attacks went poorly; each time they charged, they were killed by a hail of arrows.

By the time they withdrew, they had suffered numerous casualties.

But what good did that do? In Isola's mind, there were more reasons to send these infantrymen to their deaths.

Their deaths weren't entirely pointless; piling their bodies in the trench would quickly fill a passage.

"Quick, move the body."

"Are you blind? Can't you see that corpse? Push it down."

Sola ordered the infantry to carry the bodies up, but they did so under a hail of arrows. Some died along with their bodies, while others were shot dead the moment they turned around at the edge of the trench.

And when they died, their bodies immediately became the soil used to fill the trenches.

At this moment, in Asola's eyes, it wouldn't matter if all these infantrymen were killed.

As long as our cavalry is there, as long as the last five hundred elite cavalry are there, we will be able to break in smoothly.

Once their cavalry charged in, the entire Zhengde County would be nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs in the face of their powerful cavalry.

"These northern barbarians are really too ruthless."

"They actually used their own people to die to fill in the trench."

Chen Buyi stood beside Linghu Chongshan, his brows furrowed. This was no war; it was blatant disregard for human life.

“The defense line to the north is different here. There aren’t as many trees and soil here, and they lack the materials to fill the trenches in a short time.”

"Even if they were to wade across, it would be difficult for them to do so while they are being suppressed by our archers."

"No matter what they do, they are struggling on the edge of death, merely delaying their demise. If they don't do this, our archers will consume too much of their manpower."

"Although this method seems cruel and inhumane, it is the best approach in the face of war and the current situation."

"This Ansola is no ordinary person. He can make such a decision quickly. He is decisive and ruthless. He is a remarkable individual."

"By doing this, they can not only fill in the trenches, but also kill far fewer people than those who wade across and fight their way up."

"They also bought themselves a lot of time to attack the city."

Linghu Chongshan nodded in approval, and inwardly admired the Northern Barbarian General An Suola.

After all, there's a saying that goes, "A kind heart cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot manage finances."

"Pass down the order: prepare at the riverbank..."

"Set up the battle formation, but do not linger in battle; fight and retreat simultaneously."

"Archers on the left and right flanks, prepare to retreat."

The three thousand Tiger Roar Army soldiers were deployed in different locations, and Wang Dingliu's spies were responsible for relaying orders.

As for Liu Lang's wolf cavalry, they were left behind alone and did not participate in the defense, because their combat strength was strong enough to be used as a rearguard in the final moments.

Currently, Linghuchong's forces on the mountain are limited, putting them at a significant disadvantage compared to Ansola's.

Once the enemy fills in the trenches, it will be a large-scale close-quarters battle, which will inevitably result in a large number of casualties.

This trench, as the first line of defense, was originally intended to wear down the enemy, and we weren't planning to fight to the death here.

All residents of Zhengde County have now been evacuated.

There's absolutely no need to go all out here.

"good……."

"I will pass on the order immediately."

Upon receiving the order, Chen Buyi immediately began relaying it.

As for the other side of the river, the formation quickly took shape and unfolded along the only gap on the riverbank.

Then, it slowly extended along the trench, and just as the enemy's corpses filled the trench, the formation blocked the more than ten-meter-long trench filled with corpses.

A large number of Northern Barbarian soldiers surged out instantly, brandishing their sabers and charging towards them.

The Northern Barbarians' infantry were no less formidable. Although they were convicts, they were all foot soldiers. They weren't fast, but their individual combat abilities were very strong.

On the Tiger Roar Army's side, under the onslaught of these infantrymen, some soldiers soon began to be injured, and the archers were the first to be affected.

Because the Tiger Roar Army's archers were at their weakest point of defense at this time.

"retreat……."

With a command given, everyone began a full-scale retreat.

At this moment, the northern barbarians thought they had won, and they continued to charge forward, brandishing their sabers. They were a dark mass, pressing forward fearlessly.

Little did they know that in the darkness of night, countless cavalrymen suddenly appeared, who were actually Liu Lang's cavalrymen.

Under the cover of night, the enemy had no way of knowing how many people had actually attacked.

With the addition of the wolf riders, the infantrymen who had just charged forward were utterly crushed by the cavalry, like falling leaves.

"Don't linger in the fight..."

Although, given Liu Lang and his wolf cavalry's fighting strength, killing all of these people would be enough.

After all, Liu Lang and his wolf cavalry are now armed to the teeth. With their heavy cavalry configuration, they can no longer be said to be able to take on a hundred men each.

But killing thirty to fifty people is no problem for one person, and if it really comes down to a fight, killing a hundred people is not an issue for one person either.

But what's the point of killing them all now? It's completely unnecessary.

Under the onslaught of the heavy cavalry, the northern barbarian army was terrified and immediately began to retreat.

Ansola was extremely anxious, but he had no better solution.

Although he had completely filled the trench with corpses, the cavalry still couldn't walk on this road. What if they got stuck?

Are we really going to let our cavalrymen suffer defeat after defeat?

With so many heavy cavalry pressing in, the best course of action is to send the Northern Barbarian cavalry to engage them in close combat, since the heavy cavalry are less mobile than his light cavalry.

Once the light cavalry has completely contained them, the infantry can then find an opportunity to take down all the heavy cavalry.
