"Heroes of the Xiongnu, heed my command! You must annihilate this Xianbei cavalry!" the Xiongnu Chanyu roared.
The north wind howled, and gusts of wind swept through the area.
The snow fell heavily, thick and heavy.
The Xianbei cavalrymen were blinded by the swirling snow.
They watched the royal city draw ever closer, their faces filled with excitement.
"The gates of the Great General's capital are tightly closed. It seems we have no choice but to attack the city."
"In any case, we captured the royal city within two hours. When we left, we saw clearly that Susanoo left behind only a few old, weak, sick, and disabled people."
These old, weak, sick, and disabled people have no fighting ability whatsoever.
Murong Canglong's troops stopped less than a mile from the city.
"Murong Jianghe, go and make them surrender. Open the city gates and surrender, and you will spare their lives. Otherwise, the day the city falls will be the day they are slaughtered."
Murong Jianghe spurred his horse forward quickly: "Listen up, garrison troops on the city wall! You are surrounded! Open the city gates and surrender immediately!"
With a whoosh.
A heavy crossbow bolt flew over and struck Murong Jianghe squarely in the chest.
This powerful crossbow bolt sent Murong Jianghe flying backward for more than ten meters before crashing heavily into the ground.
Murong Canglong, who was behind him, saw this and flew into a rage:
"A bunch of damned bastards. Since they're so similar, let's grant their wish and kill them all."
Murong Canglong pointed his spear forward: "All soldiers, listen to my command, attack the city and kill them all."
More than 10,000 Xianbei cavalry charged forward recklessly.
They surged forward like waves of tide.
At that moment, all the heavy crossbow bolts from the catapults on the city wall were fired.
The sound of whooshing filled the air.
These heavy crossbow bolts easily pierced the opponent's body.
Even if these people managed to reach the city walls, the Xiongnu cavalry unleashed a hail of arrows from the city towers, felling them in droves.
These Xiongnu cavalrymen were unparalleled archers.
Even with the archery skills of the Xianbei cavalry, they were no match for the Xiongnu cavalry.
More than 80% of the Xiongnu cavalry were eagle archers, and their ability to shoot down eagles flying in the sky was a mark of their cavalry on the vast grasslands.
Even eagles soaring in the sky, they can still hit them.
They could shoot at the surging Xianbei cavalry with even less effort.
The Xianbei cavalrymen fell to the ground in droves.
Murong Hai, mounted on his warhorse, was riddled with hundreds of arrows; he had been turned into a pincushion.
Murong Dadi's forehead and chest were covered in thorns.
Murong Canglong was in no better shape; he also had several arrows stuck in his body.
Although none of the injuries are fatal, the consequences of such injuries in this icy and snowy environment would be unimaginable.
"The arrows shot down from the city wall by the general are too fierce; we simply cannot withstand them."
"General, the people guarding the city are not ordinary Japanese, nor are they old, weak, sick, or disabled."
"If we don't retreat quickly, our entire army will be wiped out."
Murong Canglong had already figured it out.
The people on the city wall were not Japanese at all, but Hunnic cavalrymen with superb archery skills.
"How did these damned Huns manage to occupy the capital?"
"They outnumber us and are skilled archers. We are no match for them. Retreat!"
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly! If we don't retreat now, we're all going to die."
Murong Canglong hadn't expected that this guy, who was originally planning to wreak havoc in the royal city, would also plan to spend the night in the palace.
As a result, these Xiongnu cavalrymen dealt him a heavy blow.
Murong Canglong and his men quickly turned their horses around and retreated to the side.
Just then, the city gates opened.
Princess Hanxiang led tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry out from inside.
“My Xiongnu warriors, do not let them go, kill them all.”
"Those who offend my lord, though far away, shall be punished."
"Kill them, kill them without mercy."
Princess Hanxiang's more than 10,000 cavalry surged toward the enemy like a tidal wave.
The Xianbei cavalry were already exhausted.
They rushed here, originally intending to rest inside the imperial city.
However, they were met with a crushing defeat.
These Xianbei cavalrymen fled in disarray.
No matter how hard they tried, their warhorses couldn't run fast.
Princess Hanxiang led more than 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry out and quickly caught up with them.
"Shoot them."
“Kill them all, leave no one alive.”
Princess Hanxiang took the lead and rushed to the very front of the group.
The sound of bows and arrows rang out.
More than ten thousand arrows rained down on the Xianbei cavalrymen.
These Xianbei cavalrymen galloped on their horses, and many of them were hit by arrows and fell from their horses.
After several rounds of firing, very few Xianbei soldiers survived.
Murong Canglong's warhorse had also been hit by several arrows, and the man fell off the horse.
However, Murong Canglong continued to run forward regardless of everything.
"That son of a bitch, he thinks he can run away?" The Left Wise King charged forward first.
Just then, there was a loud whoosh.
A long spear flew through the air, making a whistling sound.
Murong Canglong was running wildly when, before he could even see what was flying towards him, the spear pierced through his chest.
The immense force of the spear sent Murong Canglong flying dozens of meters backward before he crashed heavily into the ground.
