After a fierce battle, Qin's elite soldiers had killed all the Northern Hu soldiers at the front of the battlefield. Qin Ze led them and, following the original strategy, successfully formed an alliance with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
Next, we will have to fight a final battle with the Hu cavalry in the rear!
Half an hour had passed since the battle began.
The intense fighting was extremely taxing on the soldiers' stamina, as a single misstep could result in a fatal attack. Everyone was highly focused, their minds on the line.
This, in turn, exacerbates the burden on the body.
Qin Ze's more than 10,000 troops had a good night's rest and were all in high spirits. In addition, these five-star troops were already physically strong and had received a combat power boost, so they were fighting more and more fiercely at this moment!
The Northern Hu soldiers were constantly harassed by Huo Qubing last night, which meant they could only sleep intermittently and barely got any rest.
At the start of the battle, the Northern Hu soldiers were able to muster their spirits and fight bravely, but as time went by, their physical fatigue began to show.
Moreover, they were not facing ordinary soldiers, but these extremely powerful special troops, so the Northern Barbarian soldiers were becoming more and more demoralized as the battle progressed.
Frontline of the battlefield.
"puff!"
Qin Ze plunged his halberd into the neck of a Northern Hu soldier. The blood spurting from the soldier's throat splattered onto Qin Ze's chest armor. Qin Ze, panting heavily, reached up to wipe the blood from the corner of his eye.
Looking up, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were already completely overwhelming the Northern Hu cavalry.
The Northern Hu soldiers fought and retreated, and their original numerical advantage had vanished!
But soon, Qin Ze noticed something was wrong.
Behind the Northern Hu, the armored general was leading his troops to gradually retreat!
Qin Ze immediately looked around and was surprised to find that these Northern Hu soldiers seemed to have begun to prepare for retreat. They stretched out their battle lines, their purpose being to withdraw their troops!
This greatly surprised Qin Ze! He knew that the Northern Hu, a foreign tribe, were warlike by nature, and once on the battlefield, they would fight to the death and would never retreat easily.
After all, they all call themselves "Northern Hu Warriors".
Now that they have superior forces, they actually want to withdraw from the battlefield.
"Could it be that we beat them too badly, which made them afraid?"
"This grassland is so vast, it would be a real problem if they got away!"
Qin Ze was starting to feel anxious. After all, his plan was to annihilate every single Northern Hu soldier who went to battle today.
This way, I can gain more points. If they escape, it will be too much trouble to kill them on the grassland later.
Thinking of this, Qin Ze roared:
"The Northern Hu are trying to escape! Full speed ahead, don't let them get away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry immediately mounted their horses and began to charge forward!
From the rear of the battlefield, Tu Biyan was greatly alarmed to see the soldiers advancing so fiercely!
In fact, by this point in the battle, he could tell that he was likely to be defeated today, which is why he had the idea of retreating.
The enemy's forces were simply too strong. Of his 60,000 troops, only 30,000 to 40,000 remained after just half an hour.
Tu Biyan was horrified. He knew that if the other side had an equal number of troops, his army would probably be wiped out in half an hour!
For a warrior of the Northern Hu, retreating was an extremely humiliating thing.
But the current situation forces him to retreat.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. But what will happen if all the troops under your command are wiped out?
That's why he decided to retreat. As long as he returned to the military camp, avoided the enemy's attacks, and rested and regrouped, he could come back to Hurong Pass later.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
"Don't linger in the fight!"
Tu Biyan shouted loudly.
As soon as the words were spoken, the Northern Hu cavalry retreated like a tide. On this grassland, the fastest way to move was on horseback.
Although Qin Ruishi and Hubaoqi were extremely powerful, they were only riding ordinary horses. Faced with the sudden retreat of the Northern Hu, although they had killed the cavalry that had fallen behind, they could not catch up with the Northern Hu soldiers in the rear no matter what.
Qin Ze watched them retreat, his heart filled with rage!
He understood that if he let them escape today, it would be very difficult to fight them again in the future.
After all, these Hu horses are nomadic people, and the Beiku Grassland is vast and boundless. We can't possibly chase them down on this grassland every day in the future; that would be too much trouble!
Even if they retreat quickly now, they must still annihilate as many of these Hu horses as possible!
Thinking of this, Qin Ze shouted:
"Pursue them with full force! Kill!"
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry took the lead, charging ahead and entangled with the Northern Hu's rear guard!
On the other side, watching the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry relentlessly pursue him like a pack of wolves, Tu Biyan was furious. Although the enemy's fighting force was formidable, they had also suffered heavy losses in this round of fighting.
They still dare to keep pursuing us; it's simply outrageous.
Tu Biyan turned his head to look behind him and saw Qin Ze chasing after them on horseback. He immediately cursed:
"Qin Ze, you little brat, I'll let you get away with this today! But there's plenty of time in the future. My Northern Hu still has countless soldiers and troops, and I'll make you pay for this in the future!"
"When I return to Hurong Pass, I will surely terrify you!"
Just as he was saying this, Tu Biyan suddenly remembered the matter of sending troops to Shifeng City.
Originally, the plan was to disrupt Qin Ze's mind by revealing the plan to send troops to attack Shifeng City at the start of the battle today. However, the battle resulted in a heavy loss for the Chinese side, and they had no chance to say it afterward.
