Before Red Hare could land again, Mu Zi'an had already bent down and taken an arrow from Alert's quiver.
He drew the bow, nocked the arrow, and pulled the string in one fluid motion!
As soon as Red Hare's four hooves touched the ground, Mu Zi'an released the bowstring.
A loud clang!
The arrow shot through the air, first piercing Alert's head while he was still flying in mid-air.
Then, under Mu Zian's frenzied power, he carried Alette's head and pierced the sky, shooting towards Yelü Junba's location at high speed!
The armored guards surrounding Yelü Junba immediately raised their shields and stepped forward to protect him tightly.
However, Mu Zian's arrow, shot through the gap, was not aimed at Yelü Junba.
With a bang! Three hundred paces away, the arrow pierced directly through the Xiongnu banner of the Azure Wolf Army behind Yelü Junba.
The military flag fell with the wind, but the arrow with Alert's head stuck firmly to the flagpole!
The blood flowed down, completely staining the flagpole red.
Alert's eyes still held the same look of shock as before.
Yelü Junba's face turned ashen.
His own 100,000 iron cavalry were now being slaughtered by a single man who had led the charge to the front lines and killed one of his elite generals in front of everyone.
Not only that, they also shot down the military flag that symbolized the honor of the grasslands.
This isn't just a slap in the face; it's like rubbing Yelü Junba's face against a cement floor.
Even though he was usually very composed, Yelü Junba couldn't hold back any longer at this moment.
Meanwhile, Mu Zian, carrying the halberd on his shoulder, slowly raised his middle finger towards Yelü Junba, making a gesture resembling an internationally recognized symbol of friendship.
He then burst into laughter and immediately reined in his horse to return.
Provocation! This is blatant provocation!
Yelü Junba's face changed from blue to red, and then from red to white!
For a time, it was comparable to the Sichuan opera face-changing performance.
Watching Mu Zian's departing figure, Yelü Junba was furious!
"Charge! Charge forward, all of you!"
Driven by intense anger, Yelü Junba immediately ordered a general offensive!
He vowed to crush this person who dared to provoke him to death!
Waaaaaah~~~ Waaaaah~~~
With the sounding of a bugle, the entire army of 70,000 was mobilized.
However, at this moment, the Azure Wolf Army flag behind Yelü Junba fell to the ground.
The Xiongnu army in front of Fuling City was immediately thrown into a state of panic.
In this era of cold weapons, where "transportation relied mainly on walking and communication relied mainly on shouting".
The military flag represents much more than just a symbol.
On the battlefield at this moment, the wolf-shaped banner behind Yelü Junba represents the commander-in-chief.
A military flag fluttering in the wind signifies that the commander-in-chief is still alive; once the flag disappears, it likely means that the commander-in-chief has died in battle.
And if the commander dies, the soldiers under his command will immediately collapse.
This is why Mu Zi'an shot down Yelü Jun's military flag!
Zhao Yun, Luo Cheng, and others, who were engaged in fierce fighting, saw the Xiongnu army's flag fall to the ground.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ended the entanglement and headed to meet up with Mu Zian.
However, how could Alert's 10,000 cavalry let this 1,000-night escape? They immediately gave chase.
Behind Mu Zian was a mighty army of 70,000 iron cavalry pursuing him.
Both sides lured their respective Xiongnu cavalrymen toward the center.
Yelü Junba, who had calmed down on the distant hillside, immediately sensed something was wrong!
Because if things continue at the current speed and direction, the 10,000 cavalrymen of Alert behind Yebushou and the 70,000 cavalrymen chasing Mu'an will collide.
Upon realizing what was happening, Yelü Junba immediately gave the order.
"Sound the retreat! Sound the retreat!"
As the signal for the retreat of the Xiongnu army camp sounded.
The 70,000 cavalry pursuing Mu Zi'an slowed down first. They were somewhat confused as to why they had suddenly ordered a retreat after just ordering an attack.
However, they understood the next second!
Because the 10,000 cavalrymen who were chasing the Night Scout from afar had already rushed over, and the distance between the two sides was now less than 300 paces!
Mu Zian and Zhao Yun exchanged a smile, and then immediately turned to the left and right respectively!
The number of night spies is very small, so information is transmitted very easily, and turning around is even easier.
However, the number of Xiongnu cavalry rushing towards them at breakneck speed was too great, and the orders could not be relayed in time.
The Xiongnu cavalry at the forefront saw friendly forces suddenly appear on the opposite side and immediately tried to rein in their horses.
However, the cavalrymen following closely behind were completely unaware of this.
In this way, the two cavalry forces collided head-on like two opposing waves!
In an instant, countless warhorses neighed and screamed in agony.
Looking at his masterpiece, Mu Zian led the remaining Night Scouts under his command to flank from both sides and then drove away.
At this moment, the battlefield in front of Fuling City was in complete chaos.
Yelü Junba's originally handsome face now appeared somewhat distorted.
The infantrymen in front of Fuling City who were not on horseback were already in a panic because the military flag had fallen, and they were unable to stop Mu Zi'an at all.
On the city wall, Han Shizhong continuously directed the firing of arrows to provide cover.
Yelü Junba could only watch helplessly as Mu Zian swaggered back into Fuling City.
This battle was the most humiliating of all for Yelü Junba.
Not only did he lose a squad of Ironclad Cavalry, but his own commander of ten thousand men was also killed in the most humiliating way, right in front of him.
Finally, their own armies were involved in a tragic collision.
Yelü Junba felt as if his head was being pricked by needles.
He had expected Fuling City to be troublesome, but he didn't expect that Mu Zian would teach him a harsh lesson on the very first day.
