The enemy troops, who were driving their cattle and sheep at full speed, soon came into view of Tuolü and his men.
What was that sound?
The enemy commander, who was on the march, heard the commotion behind him and turned around with a puzzled look.
Upon seeing Tuolü and his men rushing towards them, the commander's expression immediately changed.
"Enemy attack!!"
The young commander's shouts echoed all around, and the Xianbei soldiers hurriedly stopped advancing, turned their horses around, and prepared to meet the enemy.
When they realized that the number of the attacking force was about the same as their own, the junior commander and his soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
They were all elite guards under the leader, and dealing with an equal number of enemies was no problem for them.
The junior commander immediately ordered his subordinates, "Go, let those idiots hold the line in front of us!"
His plan was simple: to have the herders hold off the enemy's offensive while he counterattacked from the rear.
"yes!!"
The subordinates accepted the order and then rode their horses toward the young and strong herders who were wearing red ribbons.

"Follow me and kill!!"
With a roar, Tuolü gripped his spear tightly, spurred his horse forward, and charged ahead at full speed. The soldiers behind him also began to draw their bows and nock their arrows.
"Charge!"
The enemy commander roared and ordered his entire army to charge at the enemy.
The able-bodied herders at the front immediately spurred their horses and charged forward.
Just as the able-bodied men rushed into the firing range of Tuolü and his men, one of them suddenly shouted:
"Brothers, retreat!!"
Upon hearing this, the able-bodied herders immediately pulled on their reins and scattered to both sides, exposing the enemy troops behind them to Tuolü and his men.
The junior commander and the enemy soldiers were stunned for a moment upon seeing this, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.
"Release the arrows!!"
Just as they were stunned, hundreds of arrows whistled through the air, and the twenty-odd soldiers at the front cried out in agony as they were struck by several arrows and fell from their horses.
