It was already dark, and Arutai's cavalry was too overconfident and did not slow down at all.
Hundreds of the vanguard riders were instantly shot down to the ground.
The following cavalry had no time to react and were immediately tripped by the fallen cavalry in front, resulting in a chaotic scene of men and horses falling over!
The scouts atop the city wall had a stern expression. Without uttering a word, they immediately drew their bows and loaded arrows, their movements as synchronized as if they were one person.
This is the effect that can only be achieved through hundreds of repetitions in the military camp!
We've been training our troops for a thousand days, but now is the time to use them!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Before the Xiongnu could even ponder why the Han people's crossbows could shoot so far, another volley of arrows had already arrived.
Screams and the neighing of warhorses filled the air!
Before the gates of Wuwei City, Mu Zian raised his hand and with a flick of his wrist threw Pei Shaochu, who was already dragged along the ground beyond recognition, inside.
Then they immediately turned their horses around! A murderous intent emerged in the cold night!
Tonight he will devour all one thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen who dared to pursue him!
Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Zi'an trembled as he pulled on the reins!
Red Hare let out a neigh, and then, under the moonlight, it transformed into a streak of red light and charged straight in the opposite direction.
Luo Cheng and Zhao Yun immediately followed, one on the left and one on the right.
Fifty riders behind him spread out like the wings of death!
A dark and stormy night! A night for murder!
Gale! Tough grass! Warhorse! Cold blade!
The last few hundred Xiongnu cavalrymen finally managed to pull the reins back!
Before they could even rejoice that they hadn't been riddled with bullets, a cold glint appeared from the shadows!
In an instant! Blood bloomed in the darkness!
The Grim Reaper's Scythe, composed of Mu Zi'an, Zhao Yun, Luo Cheng, and the elite troops of Wu Shiye, swept directly past the still bewildered Huns!
Zhao Yun swung his spear and easily pierced the throats of these Xiongnu people!
Mu Zi'an wielded a halberd in one hand and a Qinggang sword in the other, drawing his sword with both hands!
Wherever it passed, it was as if it had been swept by an iron plow!
With the strength of ten thousand jin, who can rival him!
The Qinggang Sword sliced through the leather armor on the chests of these Xiongnu people as easily as cutting tofu, and pierced them deeply!
Where the halberd passed, corpses littered the ground! These Xiongnu were chopped in two, men and horses alike!
Blood filled the darkness! Screams echoed endlessly!
Luo Cheng's eyes were deep and cold!
His spear appeared and disappeared like a ghost, each thrust taking a life!
To Luo Cheng, these Xiongnu people were nothing but trash!
Without the advantage of speed, cavalrymen are nothing more than sitting ducks on the battlefield!
On the city wall, Chu Xuesong and the generals of Wuwei City were dumbfounded!
If they hadn't witnessed the brutality of these Huns firsthand, they would probably be wondering if they were seeing things.
These Xiongnu cavalrymen were like headless flies, powerless to resist Mu Zi'an's repeated charges!
In the blink of an eye! A thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen had been wiped out!
Horse hooves trampled over the corpses of the Xiongnu! Blood stained the muddy ground in front of Wuwei City!
Mu Zian's lion-shaped armor was now stained red with blood.
Blood flowed down from the halberd and Qinggang sword in his hands like a stream, forming a sea of blood on the ground in just a few seconds.
"Come down and collect the body."
It wasn't until Mu Zian's voice came that the guards on the city wall seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly opened the city gate.
The soldiers guarding Wuwei City stared at the corpses scattered all over the ground, their eyes wide with rage, almost shining like the full moon on the fifteenth of August!
You should know that the heads of these Xiongnu people were definitely genuine military achievements.
Although the two sides fought back and forth for several hours during the daytime siege.
The Xiongnu also lost thousands of people, but most of their bodies were recovered.
The number of Hun heads that could actually be cut off as military merits was pitifully small.
And there are a full thousand heads in front of us! That's quite a victory.
However, without Mu Zian's authorization, no one dares to make any rash moves.
These military officers and soldiers, who had long served on the frontier, were all men who had risked their lives.
What truly intimidates them is never any so-called noble title or official rank.
Only the most direct violence can make them submit, and Mu Zi'an possesses both.
Just like a wolf pack hunting, even the fiercest wolf in the pack wouldn't dare to divide up the prey without the leader's permission.
Only after Mu Zian nodded in approval did the garrison of Wuwei City dare to step forward and cut off the heads.
Jia Xu and Chu Xuesong also came out from inside the city to greet them.
Just then, the scouts responsible for perimeter security rushed in to report.
"Reporting to the Duke of Zhenguo, a large number of Xiongnu cavalry are approaching from afar."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuesong immediately replied.
"It must be cavalry from the Xiongnu vanguard camp. It seems that the Duke of Zhenguo's raid on the camp has thoroughly angered them."
Chu Xuesong's tone was very relaxed, even with a hint of teasing.
Even with a full complement of 10,000 men, Tie Ge couldn't breach Wuwei City. For him to break through with his remaining few thousand defeated soldiers was simply a pipe dream.
Therefore, in Chu Xuesong's view, these Xiongnu cavalrymen were nothing more than incompetent rage.
However, under the moonlight, Jia Xu's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately stepped forward and said.
"My lord, I have another plan to kill the enemy's commander!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him with curiosity.
Chu Xuesong immediately asked.
"What is your plan, sir? Speak quickly!"
Killing Helian Tiege would be a fatal blow to the Xiongnu vanguard and give Wuwei City a chance to catch its breath!
