Thousand Swords Pass.
General Xiao He knew very well that he could not stay in the city any longer. If he continued to attack from a high position, it would give the Huns a certain opportunity.
They would set up ladders and climb directly onto the city wall. Some people would even use their martial arts skills to climb up based on the swords inserted on the wall. After all, some of them were martial arts masters.
Then in this situation, they must find ways to go out of the city to fight and keep the heavy cavalry outside!
You know, once they put all their strength on the enemies on the city walls, there will be nothing left below.
At that time, the heavy cavalry will directly break through the city gate, and then it will be dangerous.
With the sound of the horn, the war began at this moment.
On the Barbarian side, Du Ruofu took the brunt of the attack and shouted, "Charge!"
He was wearing a suit of armor and looked very powerful.
And Helan Meng behind him was no less powerful. The two of them led the heavy cavalry to directly fight the enemy.
On the opposite side, there were the light cavalry from the Great Zhou. They formed a line and rushed forward in an orderly manner.
The battle began.
As the smoke of war spread, the entire Qianjian Pass seemed like a hell on earth.
However, Xiao He, Shangguan Yan and others seriously underestimated the power of the Huns!
Heavy cavalry is simply invincible. Bows and arrows cannot kill a fully armed heavy cavalryman.
Under the cover of heavy cavalry, more and more soldiers attacked the city, and at the same time, more and more martial arts masters climbed up the city walls.
Facing the attack from so many people, it can be said that it is difficult to split the team's resources.
Xiao He was also very uncomfortable!
He never imagined that he would face such a dilemma one day.
When did the Huns become so powerful? They never used their brains when fighting before, but this time it was completely different.
He also reacted quickly.
The Xiongnu, this time led by the grandmaster Du Ruofu.
He plays a very important role on the battlefield.
As expected, Du Ruofu did not hesitate at all and directly used his Qinggong skills to climb up the city wall.
A great master climbed up the city wall and killed many masters with a wave of his hand.
Xiao He was also a ninth-rank master. As a general, he naturally had some strength, but at this moment he was completely unable to fight back!
A grandmaster is equivalent to an existence beyond humans, otherwise he would not be so rare and would not be worshipped as a god by everyone.
Shangguan Yan was not far away. When she saw this scene, she was also stunned. What was going on?
The old thief Du Ruofu actually came up in person...
He had also heard that the reason Du Ruofu was able to escape was because he possessed the strength of a grandmaster.
Even if a ninth-grade expert were to encounter a grandmaster, the result would be like an egg hitting a rock.
Faced with this situation, Shangguan Yan was also very frightened and didn't know what to do.
After all, he was just a young soldier, or rather, he was just a fledgling general.
Although he was the son of a great general and had fought in wars before, this time he was in real danger.
The last time I followed Eunuch Lu to fight, I had never encountered such a situation, and it was not so dangerous.
Moreover, the grand master last time was subdued by Eunuch Lu, but this time, Du Ruofu appeared here, and as a grand master, he was invincible.
It seems that something is wrong!
General Xiao He took a look, then looked at the soldiers behind him, and he knew... he couldn't delay any longer.
Now, in the entire border area, his strength should be closer to Du Ruofu. He is almost close to the realm of a grandmaster, but he has never made a breakthrough.
He could delay it as long as he could so that he could preserve his military strength. He might not be able to defend Qianjian Pass any longer, but he should be able to defend other cities.
Just hold on and let the palace get the message!
As long as we can send a grand master over!
Everyone knows that there is a great master hidden in the palace. At the critical moment of life and death, is he going to have to hide in there all the time?
"Walk!"
"Everyone, retreat! Go back!"
"retreat!"
"Leave Qianjian Pass!"
"Shangguan Yan, this general orders you to leave Qianjian Pass immediately."
"You are now the commander-in-chief. Lead your Huben army and the remaining troops to flee immediately. Do not hesitate for a moment. Leave quickly."
When Shangguan Yan heard this, she was stunned.
Although he was terrified of the scene before him and was afraid of his own death, he was not a coward or a wimp, and he shouted loudly.
"I won't leave!"
"General Xiao He, why do you want me to leave?"
"I think I can help you by staying here. I don't want to be a deserter, and I think the soldiers under my command don't want to be deserters either.
They all want to fight to the bitter end, and they all want to fight to the death. Isn't that enough for us?"
Xiao He smiled, and then his expression suddenly became very serious, and he spoke in a cold tone.
"roll!"
"This is the order of this general. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain!"
"roll!"
Shangguan Yan took a look, sighed helplessly, and had to turn around and leave, leading the Huben army and the remaining soldiers to quickly escape from the border.
Watching them go away, Xiao He finally let go. He drew out the big knife in his hand and blocked Du Ruofu's way, saying to him.
"Your Xiongnu army is indeed quite formidable. I never thought you would become so powerful after such a long absence from battle."
Du Ruofu smiled calmly, "General Xiao He, you have suffered heavy losses in this battle. Nearly 30% of your troops died at Qianjian Pass."
"You still want to sacrifice yourself and buy a little more time for your people."
"I have to say, I admire your courage very much, but do you really think you can stop me?"
Xiao He stared at the other person with sharp eyes and said, "I think it's okay."
"Then give it a try."
Du Ruofu's expression suddenly became cold and fierce. He picked up the big knife in his hand and chopped it down. A gust of energy appeared and instantly chopped towards Xiao He.
Xiao He wanted to dodge, but found that he was unable to fight back.
He was directly knocked away by the sword energy and a big wound appeared on his body.
There is indeed a world of difference between a grandmaster and a ninth-grade expert. Moreover, as a ninth-grade expert, he has just wasted a lot of his true energy, and his strength is even weaker now.
"You! You can't stop me."
"However, this Prime Minister's goal has been achieved."
"It seems that the person most suitable for fighting and leading troops in your Great Zhou is still that Eunuch Lu. Although I hate this guy, it is undeniable that he is indeed quite powerful."
