Boom! Boom!
A deafening sound, the sound of horses' hooves, came from the distant horizon.
Tie Ge, clad in armor, led out all the remaining cavalry from the entire camp.
After suffering losses during this period, the original force of 10,000 cavalrymen was reduced to just over 4,000.
Even so, the sheer force of the Xiongnu cavalry was still awe-inspiring.
The outline of Wuwei City reappeared in front of Tie Ge in the distance.
Looking at the city that had repeatedly humiliated him, Tie Ge's anger had reached its peak!
Despite his anger, Tie Ge did not choose to underestimate his enemy or advance rashly.
"Where is Arutai? Why haven't we seen him yet?"
Iron Spear, atop his horse, surveyed his surroundings. Under the silent night sky, only the whistling wind could be heard; there was no sound of fighting or the clatter of hooves.
It was as if Arutai's thousand cavalrymen had vanished.
This eerie atmosphere gave Tie Ge a sense of unease.
Just then, a scout hurriedly rode up to Tie Ge.
"Reporting to the General! Ahead... ahead..."
The scout's voice trembled slightly, and his face appeared extremely pale in the firelight.
Seeing this, Tie Ge was furious and raised his hand to strike him with his whip.
"You are a warrior of our grasslands! Do not show your weakness and incompetence before me!"
The scout, bleeding profusely from the whip, immediately lowered his head.
Upon seeing this, Tie Ge snorted coldly.
"Take me there! I don't believe what could possibly frighten you, a mighty warrior of the grasslands!"
The cavalryman nodded quickly and immediately led the way!
A moment later, Tie Ge followed the scouts to a place not far from Wuwei City.
Suddenly a strong wind blew around us!
The dark clouds that had been obscuring the moon then drifted away.
The bright moonlight shone down on the earth, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime!
Snap! Snap! Snap!
A dull sound rang out!
Tie Ge looked in the direction of the sound! But the scene before him the next moment made his eyes widen in disbelief!
Countless headless corpses were hanging from a withered tree!
Driven by the strong wind, the corpses moved with the wind, colliding with each other and making a strange sound.
Simoge and the other centurions who had come along were equally shocked by what they saw.
However, when Simuge saw the appearance of the corpse clearly, he instantly felt his throat go dry.
At the very top of that withered tree hung a headless corpse riddled with countless arrows.
Although they were far away, Simuge recognized the owner of the corpse at a glance!
"A...Arutai!"
Smug couldn't believe it! Less than an hour had passed!
The once lively and energetic Arutai is now a mutilated corpse on a withered tree.
Moreover, the dead trees were littered with the severed corpses of Huns lying haphazardly on both sides.
They were piled up in layers, resembling a giant grave mound under the moonlight.
Shock! Horror! Even the murderous Simugo felt a chill run down his spine at the sight before him!
At this moment, the veins on Tie Ge's face were bulging!
"These despicable Han dogs! I'm going to kill them all!"
Tie Ge roared incessantly, seemingly trying to vent his inner rage.
With the death of Arutai's thousand cavalry, Tiege's vanguard has suffered more than half its casualties!
Tiege could already imagine the punishment he would face once this news got back!
Tie Ge took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He can no longer afford any more losses.
The scene before them was a great shock to the remaining Xiongnu cavalry.
If there are any more major casualties, the vanguard will completely collapse.
With this thought in mind, Tie Ge suppressed his anger and gave the order.
"Reclaim the bodies of our warriors!"
Now all we have to do is wait for the Left Wise King's main force to arrive and join us.
With his merit in capturing Fuling City, he is certain that he can retain his position as a commander of ten thousand households.
As for Wuwei City, Tie Ge has made up his mind that once he joins forces with the Left Wise King to break through the city, he will slaughter every single Han person in the entire city, leaving no one alive!
Just as Tie Ge was calming himself down, a scout rode up again.
"Reporting to the general, it seems that those Han people wrote something on the tree trunk."
Upon hearing this, Tie Ge was taken aback. Driven by curiosity, he followed the scouts and rode his horse to the base of the withered tree.
The smell of blood in the air seemed to be mixed with the aroma of alcohol.
Tie Ge suppressed his anger, dismounted, and came to the withered tree.
Tie Ge frowned and looked toward the tree trunk. Sure enough, he saw a piece of bark that had been completely peeled off.
Several Hunnic characters were crookedly written on the bare tree trunk.
At this moment, the words on the tree trunk were obscured by several shadows and were so blurry that they could not be seen at all.
"Ironclad gave the order."
"Bring me a torch."
The next moment, Simuge brought a torch and handed it to Tiege.
Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding centurions, Tiege picked up a torch and looked toward the tree trunk.
Meanwhile, on the city walls of Wuwei, a distant point of fire shone like a lighthouse on the sea.
Mu Zi'an raised the Heaven-Shaking Bow and slowly drew the bowstring!
As the power increased, the entire Heaven-Shaking Bow was drawn into the shape of a full moon!
An arrow, gleaming with a cold light, flashed in the moonlight!
Beside Mu Zian, a thousand divine crossbows had already aimed their tips at the withered tree.
