The snow in the sky suddenly became violent, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.
The world was a deathly, silvery-white expanse, devoid of any sign of life.
The Xiongnu royal court, stretching for hundreds of miles, was illuminated by flickering candlelight, like stars in the cold night.
In the distance came the low moaning of livestock and the sounds of whipping and cursing.
None of the Xiongnu people noticed that a group of death gods were silently approaching not far from the royal court.
Mu Zian ordered that all four hooves of the warhorses be wrapped in cotton cloth to muffle the sound.
Under the cover of the blizzard, the Hun sentries responsible for guarding the royal court did not notice anything unusual.
Heavy snow is indeed the best protector of the grasslands, but it is also the best grave for them.
Amidst the wind and snow, Mu Zian gripped his halberd tightly.
Just as they were about to approach the Xiongnu royal court, the army quickly split into three.
Mu Zian personally led a thousand Night Defenders and a thousand Beiwei Army soldiers, a total of two thousand men, straight to the core area of the Xiongnu royal court.
The target was the actual Khan's central command tent.
The left wing, led by Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu, consisted of a thousand Beiwei soldiers tasked with attacking the Xiongnu noble area on the left side of the royal court, creating chaos and blocking reinforcements.
The right wing, led by Zhao Yun and Luo Cheng with the remaining thousand-odd cavalry, charged into the area to the right of the royal court, aiming to create widespread panic.
As a sound like thunder echoed from the horizon, the Xiongnu sentries on the outer perimeter stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
In the light reflected from the snow-covered landscape, they witnessed the most terrifying scene of their lives.
Four thousand Han cavalrymen poured down like an avalanche!
A century later! The Han flag flies again amidst the wind and snow!
Mu Zi'an rode his Red Hare warhorse, swooping down from the snow-covered landscape!
All I could hear was a furious roar! And what I saw was a biting wind, sharp as a knife.
Drinking from the vast sea, sealing the wolf's lair!
These are eight words that no man can refuse!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The Xiongnu scouts on the perimeter were about to blow their horns.
However, the next moment, an arrow pierced through the cold night and went straight through his throat!
The gushing blood stained the white snow beneath his feet.
This also signifies the official start of a massacre!
Four thousand Han cavalrymen descended like divine soldiers, directly shattering the outer perimeter of the royal court!
The unsuspecting royal guards were killed before they could even mount their horses!
The warm blood eased Mu Zian's stiff limbs, and the flames that rose illuminated half the sky.
On horseback, Mu Zian held a halberd in his left hand and a Qinggang sword in his right.
He shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, and like a raging flood or a ferocious beast, utterly crushing everyone who stood in his way.
Blood stained his armor, and the cold temperature quickly congealed the blood.
At this very moment! In the firelight, Mu Zian looked like a ferocious beast covered in blood-red fangs.
These Xiongnu people were already terrified by this sudden attack.
Looking at Mu Zian, who was frantically slaughtering people in the crowd, I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet to my head!
At this very moment! These Xiongnu people had no intention of resisting whatsoever, and their defeat was imminent.
Meanwhile, inside the Xiongnu king's tent, Jieli was still immersed in the dream of soon seizing absolute power.
Suddenly, a guard rushed in from outside the tent in a panic.
"Great Khan! Something terrible has happened! The Han Chinese are attacking!"
When Jeli Khan, who was drinking, heard this news, he was stunned.
Suton, who had been beaming with joy, immediately stepped forward and kicked the guard to the ground.
"Nonsense! How could that be! How could the Han people have invaded?"
The guard lying on the ground looked panicked and said, his body trembling.
"It's true! There are so many Han Chinese cavalry outside! They rushed in during the blizzard, and our scouts didn't even have time to react."
"Moreover, these Han cavalrymen are all extremely brave, and we simply cannot resist them! Great Khan, run away quickly! If we don't run now, it will be too late!"
At the same time, the deafening shouts of battle could be heard outside the royal tent.
A gust of cold wind blew through the royal tent, and the smiles on the faces of all the Xiongnu nobles present froze.
Sitting in the main seat, Jeli Khan felt as if the blood in his entire body had been frozen.
Have the Han Chinese really come to attack? At this moment, Jieli's brain completely shut down.
Just then, Suton shouted.
"Great Khan, don't just stand there, let's go! The Golden Wolf Camp can still attract the attention of those Han people for a while."
"If these Han people realize what's happening, it will be difficult for us to escape!"
Upon hearing this, Jeli immediately came to his senses.
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go! Let's go!"
At this moment, the Xiongnu nobles inside the tent also panicked, and everyone rushed out of the tent.
The already small entrance to the tent was suddenly blocked! Everyone was desperately trying to run out.
Suger grabbed Jelly's hand and ran away.
Upon seeing this, Agri immediately stepped in front of the two and said...
"You are the Khan of the grasslands, our king! You cannot escape! If you escape, we are all doomed!"
"There must not be many Han Chinese cavalrymen in the royal court right now. As long as you stay here, the troops from the surrounding tribes who come to the aid of the king will arrive immediately."
Upon hearing this, Jeli instantly flew into a rage, drew his jewel-encrusted sword from his waist, and spoke to Agri.
"Get out of my way! All of you get out of my way!"
At this moment, fear completely filled Jieli's heart; only one word occupied his mind: "escape."
