The large number of Wuhuan cavalrymen were thrown into chaos, with countless people crying out in despair and cursing.
After all, having lived in the northern desert for so long, when had they ever seen such terrifying power?
For a moment, I felt like my entire worldview had collapsed!
"Chief, the enemy can actually use the power of heavenly lightning, and the God of Fire is helping them. Should we retreat?"
"Yes, Chief, how can we fight like this? The enemy is no longer human. That Lu Tu is truly like the legends say, a god of war descended to earth!"
The only silver-armored cavalryman currently stationed at the rear is the leader of this thousand-strong cavalry force, and also the youngest son of the chieftain of the Saili tribe, Chaerbu.
As the son of a chieftain, he had studied with scholars who had rebelled against the Great Yu Dynasty since childhood, so he naturally had some understanding of many aspects of the Great Yu Dynasty.
Although he didn't even know that there was a god of fire or a god of thunder in this world, the sheer destructive power he was facing made him waver slightly.
During the time he hesitated, more Wuhuan cavalrymen were trampled, and in a short time, more than half of their troops were lost.
Lu Tu, who had been keeping a close eye on the battlefield, keenly seized this opportunity. With a wave of his hand, he shouted behind him, "Brothers, retreat!"
The Wuhuan cavalry, who had completely lost their will to fight, were so moved by these words that they almost knelt down to thank the heavens for their grace.
They believed it was just a cruel joke played on them by fate, and that the powerful explosion wasn't caused by Lü Tu. This gave them a glimmer of hope that they had to escape.
But they soon realized they were wrong, and very wrong!
Despite receiving the order to retreat from Lü Tu, the Wuchuan cavalry charged towards them like bloodthirsty wolves!
Bathed in the glow of the still-burning flames, the battle cries of this cavalry force shattered the last psychological defense of the Wuhuan people.
"What the hell are we fighting for? They're even chanting the opposite slogans! Brothers, let's run!"
In military campaigns, the most feared thing is the occurrence of human-to-human transmission. Humans are social animals by nature and have a herd mentality.
Once someone starts running away, the momentum of the rout is very difficult to stop.
The Wuhuan cavalry knew, Chabu knew, and of course, Lü Tu knew best. As the former Dragon Kingdom's King of Soldiers, psychology was also a required course for him.
He didn't continue wasting detonators and explosives, since at such close range, it was easy to injure his own men.
Meanwhile, Xiang Ze and his men, who had received the news earlier, led their remaining troops to sneak behind Chaerbu and his men, and quietly drew their bows and aimed.
Lu Tu immediately spotted Chaerbu, who was dressed in a very flashy silver armor.
"Grandpa's here to take your dog's life!" Lu Tu brandished his halberd and charged ahead of the group.
With a flick of his wrist, he instantly killed two fleeing Wuhuan soldiers on the ground. Blood splattered on his face, adding to his chilling aura.
With the tides turning and the enemy gaining ground, Lü Tu's cavalry almost completely suppressed the Wuhuan soldiers. For a time, all that could be heard around them were the shouts of their own troops and the cries of the Wuhuan people.
The situation has reversed!
Seeing this, Chaerbu could only exchange a vicious glance with Lü Tu from afar, spit out a curse, and order his trusted confidants, "Withdraw to the desert!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Chaerbu left without looking back.
Seeing this, Xiang Ze and his men unleashed a volley of mounted archery, hitting many of Chaerbu's confidants, but it did not stop them from escaping.
Seeing this, Lu Tu shouted, "Leave a hundred men to rescue the people and clean up the battlefield. The rest of you, follow me and hunt them down! We'll kill these beasts to the ends of the earth!"
Just as Lu Tu had thought, his concern wasn't that the Wuhuan people would put up a stubborn resistance, but that these bastards would simply escape. That's why he charged in and slaughtered them at the first opportunity.
But Chaerbu was still decisive and made the safest decision in the shortest amount of time.
But Lu Tu wouldn't give him any chance to escape. He seized the opportunity and urged his little black dog to stop, aiming in the most stable state.
As he drew his bow and nocked an arrow beside the towering flames, unleashing his signature five-shot burst once more, the heavy horn bow was drawn to a point where it was rounder than the full moon in the sky.
Not to mention the newly recruited soldiers, even the remaining Wuhuan soldiers who weren't quite dead were stunned.
The Wuhuan people have always admired the strong, but even in the northern desert where strong people abound, there are only a handful of people who can draw a bow to this extent.
As soon as Lu Tu's bowstring twanged, the five arrows seemed to have eyes, shooting straight towards the back of Chaerbu's neck and piercing him with perfect accuracy!
Seeing this, Nie Yun and the others shouted, "We've hit it! Brothers, charge!"
The moment Chaerbu fell off his horse, it slowed down the escape of the other Wuhuan people. If they could not bring Chaerbu back, even if they returned to their tribe and reported the truth, they and their families would be executed.
All the Wuhuan people turned their horses around at the same time, preparing for a desperate battle!
However, the two sides were completely different in terms of momentum, not to mention that they had no numerical advantage. After Nie Yun and Tuoba Yue charged in, they began what could be described as a one-sided massacre!
Lu Tu also put away his horn bow and rushed into the battlefield, his halberd cleanly and decisively reaping heads.
This battle was incredibly exhilarating, showcasing the advantages of technological productivity—it was like a dimensional reduction attack!
It is foreseeable that explosives will become a crucial element in future battles against the Karasuma!
Half an hour later, Lü Tu left Nie Yun to lead the men to clean up the battlefield, while he himself led his men back to Pangjia Village.
At this moment, Xiang Ze was lying on the ground, seriously wounded, and his wounds were being bandaged by the soldiers who had come with him.
Upon seeing Lü Tu, he tried to stand up, but Lü Tu quickly dismounted and pressed him down: "Brother Xiang..."
Lu Tu hesitated, for he saw that Xiang Ze's abdomen was soaked in a large amount of blood.
"I'm late."
Xiang Ze shook his head with a wry smile: "Sir, I think I can still be saved."
Lu Tu flipped his wrist, gripped the dagger in his hand, and cut through Xiang Ze's clothes at the abdomen. Only then did he realize that it was someone else's blood. Although Xiang Ze had wounds at the abdomen, they were not in vital areas.
Lu Tu grinned: "Brother Xiang's martial arts are superb, and he is loyal and courageous. I admire him!"
As they were talking, Lü Tu had already taken the clean gauze from the other soldiers and used a small amount of saline solution he had brought with him to clean Xiang Ze's wound.
Xiang Ze was well aware of Lü Tu's medical skills, and he grabbed Lü Tu's hand: "Sir, please treat the other brothers first. I'm tough and won't die!"
