Under the cover of night.
On the Beiku Grassland, a group of Northern Hu cavalrymen were pursuing a group of Qin elite soldiers.
"Hahaha! Run away, run away! Let's see where you can run to!"
"On this grassland, you won't escape our grasp!"
The cavalry leader grinned and laughed loudly at the fleeing Qin soldiers.
They had been ordered to pursue the enemy to the north for some time, and had already covered seven or eight miles across the grassland. However, the enemy was exceptionally cunning; they only cared about escaping and refused to engage them, which greatly angered the cavalry leader.
Tonight, he is determined to cut down these harassing enemies!
At that moment, seeing the hundred or so riders ahead make a wide turn and disappear behind a small hill, the cavalry leader shouted:
"Quickly! Slaughter them all here!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than dozens of arrows suddenly shot out from the side!
Under the cover of night, the arrows came swiftly and fiercely. The Northern Hu soldiers were completely unprepared, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers were hit by the arrows and fell off their horses!
The leader was alarmed and hurriedly shouted, "Ambush on the left! Watch out for arrows!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, dozens of arrows shot from the right side. The arrows, coming from the exact opposite direction, caught the Hu cavalry off guard, and several more were hit by the arrows!
And on the right was none other than Huo Qubing's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
When he came to Jubeichuan, he brought only a small amount of dry rations with his five hundred cavalrymen. Instead, each of them carried a bow on their backs. Their purpose was to wage guerrilla warfare against this group of barbarian horses!
At this moment, Huo Qubing's gaze was cold. As he changed positions on his horse, he drew his bow and shot arrows. With each arrow, a Northern Hu cavalryman fell!
But he doesn't have many arrows, so he needs to make good use of every single one!
The Northern Hu soldiers then realized what was happening and began rushing towards Huo Qubing.
"Kill them!"
The Northern Hu cavalrymen shouted that although they had lost one or two hundred men to arrows, they had a total of a thousand cavalrymen, while the enemy, as it appeared, numbered only one or two hundred!
This gave the Northern Hu cavalry a strong sense of confidence. They dodged arrows as they quickly chased after the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
Huo Qubing pulled on the reins and stopped moving. His starry eyes stared unblinkingly at the leader of the Hu horses. The next moment, he held the bow in one hand and drew the bowstring to its full extent.
His cold, piercing gaze, like that of a hawk spotting its prey, was fixed firmly on the head of the Northern Hu cavalry leader.
The next moment.
With a "whoosh," the arrow shot out through the air!
The arrow, crafted from fine iron, gleamed faintly in the moonlight, like a streak of cold star, and shot towards the leader's face in an instant!
The leader was yelling as he charged toward Huo Qubing when the arrow came so fast and fiercely that Huo Qubing's eyes narrowed as the arrow pierced his throat.
Blood spurted out, and the leader fell headfirst, crashing heavily off his horse!
Not only that, after the arrow pierced his throat, although the force weakened, it immediately shot into the throat of a Hu horse soldier behind the leader!
Huo Qubing's arrow killed two people!
His eyes were cold, and facing the charging Hu cavalry, he calmly shouted:
"Go! Annihilate them all here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry rushed out from all directions and charged towards the group of barbarian cavalry!
Besides the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the south side still being pursued, two other Tiger and Leopard Cavalry squads have circled around, bringing the total to over three hundred men!
Facing the remaining eight hundred-plus Hu cavalry, Huo Qubing was not afraid at all and led his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to instantly charge into the Hu cavalry!
On horseback, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were incredibly powerful. They were the most skilled cavalrymen, and with the added strength of Huo Qubing's five-star generalship, each of them could take on several Hu cavalrymen at once!
In the crowd, Huo Qubing held a plum blossom spear, the red tassel on the spearhead fluttering in the wind. With each thrust, a Hu cavalryman would surely die by his spear!
In the darkness of night, a fierce battle unfolded on the grassland!
A Tiger and Leopard Cavalryman thrust his spear into the chest of a Hu cavalryman. Faced with this fierce attack, the Hu cavalryman had no time to dodge. With a "thud," the spear pierced through his abdomen.
Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen narrowed their eyes, gritted their teeth, and with a burst of strength, lifted him off his horse and flung him into the body of a Hu soldier standing nearby!
Hu Mabing never imagined that he would have such strength, able to lift a 100-200 jin adult off a horse!
He was just an ordinary cavalryman, not even a general. No, it should be said that each of these enemies had combat power comparable to that of a Northern Hu general!
The Northern Hu soldier fell off his horse and was scrambling to his feet when a long spear thrust at him!
The spear pierced his neck, and blood gushed out instantly, soaking the tiger-and-leopard rider!
The armor was cold, but the warm blood poured onto it emitted faint white steam in the already chilly autumn night.
Just then, a Hu soldier behind the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry suddenly launched an attack, thrusting his spear into his back.
Hearing the sound of a spear thrusting from behind, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry hurriedly turned to dodge, but even so, they were still accidentally stabbed in the arm!
The spear tip pierced his forearm, and a sharp pain shot through him, but the Tiger and Leopard Cavalryman did not let out a scream. He gripped the spear shaft with his right hand and, to the horrified gaze of the Northern Barbarian soldier, yanked the spear apart!
The Northern Barbarian soldier had never seen such a soldier before. He could not even change his expression after being pierced through the arm by a spear, and he could even launch a counterattack. This was beyond his imagination!
