Tu Yuchun's face was somber, his mind racing.
The opportunity is right in front of us; whether to fight or not is a difficult decision.
I still have more than 15,000 troops, while the other side only has 3,000 to 4,000 remnants left.
Although Tu Yuchun had realized from the previous battles that Qin Ze's troops were extremely powerful, they had been fighting with their own troops for a long time, and anyone would feel tired!
After a fierce battle, the accumulated fatigue in the body will immediately surface, and without proper rest, it will be absolutely difficult to fight the next battle.
With his own 15,000 troops now rested and ready, they might just be able to take them down!
Thinking of this, Tu Yuchun gritted his teeth, filled with remorse.
If we hadn't underestimated the enemy from the start and had taken all our troops to Hurong Pass, we might not have lost this battle.
He regretted that Zhao Yuan had confidently asserted that Qin Ze had no army of ten thousand men, and that the two years of Da Gan's campaign had not seen a large number of troops stationed on the border, and that the troops were weak. These factors combined led him to become complacent.
But now that he has a complete understanding of Qin Ze's troops, how can he be careless?
After much deliberation, Tu Yuchun walked out of the tent with a stern face, gazing into the distance.
On the vast grassland, countless horses graze peacefully, while on the other side stands the towering city wall of Hurong Pass.
Looking at Hurong Pass, Tu Yuchun's eyes gradually turned cold. Of his 80,000 troops, only 15,000 remained. If he were to retreat back to his tribe now, how could he face anyone?
After suffering a crushing defeat and returning in disgrace, how will other tribes view them? With their prestige gone, will they still be able to rally their people to fight in the future?
If he were to fight to the death, swallow up those few thousand remaining soldiers, and kill the powerful Zhenbei King, his reputation would surely spread throughout the entire grassland!
In this way, even if he only has a few soldiers left to return, he can still gather his people, regroup, and have a chance to make a comeback in the future!
Could a mere few thousand remnants really possibly swallow up my 15,000 men?
That's absolutely impossible!
I will personally lead the troops and wipe out those remaining soldiers, cut off Qin Ze's head, and hang it high in front of Hu Rong Pass!
Having thought this through, Tu Yuchun had already made up his mind.
"Summon the entire army and heed my command! Charge towards Hurong Pass!"
"Slay the Prince of Zhenbei! To honor the spirits of my brave warriors!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Tu Yuchun shouted loudly and ordered his generals to gather the entire army, which marched in a mighty force toward Hurong Pass!
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled across the vast grassland, and the Hu cavalry galloped towards Hurong Pass with great momentum. An hour passed in this manner.
The sun had completely set, but a sliver of light still lingered, yet the grassland remained incredibly dark.
Tu Yuchun rushed towards the previous battlefield, and the closer he got, the more alarmed he became.
Corpses were beginning to appear on the ground, and wounded horses were neighing everywhere. The autumn wind carried the strong stench of blood into their nostrils.
The dim grassland was filled with a desolate and bleak atmosphere.
This sight made Tu Yuchun feel uneasy, and even his eyelids twitched.
But soon, he became angry at himself for having such feelings of fear. As a warrior of the Northern Hu, how could he feel fear on this grassland!
What is there to fear from a group of remnants on the other side?
Tu Yuchun's face darkened, and he roared:
"All troops, listen to my command! Charge at full speed! Don't give them time to rest, cut them off quickly!"
"rush!"
Encouraged, the Northern Hu soldiers spurred their horses and galloped forward.
After another incense stick's time, Tu Yuchun finally arrived at the battlefield. In addition to the corpses scattered all over the ground, there were also thousands of black-armored soldiers standing ready for battle!
Tu Yuchun's gaze swept across the battlefield, his face as cold as frost.
On the other side of the battlefield.
Seeing the Hu cavalry army rushing towards him with great momentum, Qin Ze sat up from the corpse of a Hu cavalry soldier.
A gentle breeze ruffled his hair; the blood on his face had congealed, but his eyes kept flickering.
Those were excited eyes.
He had originally planned to rest and then lead his army to attack the Northern Hu army camp under cover of night.
Unexpectedly, these Northern Hu soldiers chose to come on their own initiative, which saved him the trouble of chasing them at night.
Although more than 3,000 of his own men have not yet had a full rest, he still has 4,000 newly created Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
Before an incense stick had burned, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, who had been scouting the Northern Hu army camp, brought back news that the Hu cavalry were heading this way, so Qin Ze was already on high alert.
As dusk deepened, scattered starlight illuminated the vast, dark grassland.
Qin Ze looked to the left and right sides of the grassland, his eyes slightly narrowed...
Just then, a loud shout rang out:
"Qin Ze! What audacity! He killed so many of my men, yet instead of fleeing back to Hu Rong Pass, he's resting here!"
"Could it be that you think I have no one to rely on and dare not kill you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ze slightly raised his chin and looked ahead.
A hundred meters away, Tu Yuchun, his hair standing on end in fury, was holding a long blade and roaring loudly.
Qin Ze's expression was cold. He pulled out the Fire Wind Breaking Formation Halberd stuck in the ground, and then with a clean and neat slash, he severed the head of the corpse on the ground. Then, with a flick of the halberd blade, he threw the head still stuck in the ground towards Tu Yuchun.
A head flew off, and blood splattered from the severed neck, creating a gruesome scene.
The head flew several meters away and landed on the grass with a "thud".
