Chapter 8 A Lone Charge



"Enough talk, follow orders! I'll be able to catch up with you soon!"

"..promise!"

"Yes, young master, Third Sister is waiting for you at the pass!"

If you don't come back, I'll go with you.

Hu Sanniang naturally didn't have time to say the second half of the sentence.

Because, after Li Tingzhi responded, Zhao Hao had already drawn his two swords and charged into the ranks of the Xiongnu guards!

"Hahaha! Good, these elite soldiers are more interesting!"

"Hey, where's your Chanyu? Come out and let me slaughter him to my heart's content!"

The power of the two Longquan swords was not enough to make Zhao Hao so confident.

What allowed him to dare to charge into the enemy lines alone was a complete set of platinum-grade horse tack, a platinum-grade warhorse, and a full set of platinum-grade inner and outer armor.

From the outside, Zhao Hao was already riding two horses alone, so this was not unusual in the eyes of the Xiongnu.

After Old Ma died of exhaustion, Zhao Hao naturally rode the warhorse produced by the system and used his twin swords to continuously reap the lives of the Xiongnu people.

"Han people, do you recognize me, Huyan Tuge!"

"Fierce general, take this strike from Qi Wu Baiyao!"

As Zhao Hao charged forward, two middle-aged men who looked like Hun generals attacked him with swords and spears.

According to the system's observation, both of them have a combat strength of 86, which is not difficult for Zhao Hao to deal with now.

"Hehe, the Huyan and Qiwu clans from the powerful Xiongnu tribes?"

"Hmph, at least you have some sense! Han Chinese, surrender now and you'll be spared!"

"Heh heh, Huyan Tuge, the Chanyu has no intention of leaving any survivors!"

Zhao Hao couldn't be bothered with these two self-righteous individuals, who actually thought they could escape from his clutches alive.

"Hey, hey, hey, did Liang Jingru give you the courage?"

Zhao Hao's nonsensical words clearly left these two brilliant minds completely bewildered.

"Heh, Han Chinese! You're doomed today, yet you dare to speak recklessly in front of two Xiongnu nobles. Do you truly have no regard for your life?"

Zhao Hao was speechless; he'd had enough of wasting time talking to these two clowns.

I still need to go back and discuss how to swallow up all these Xiongnu troops!

"Now, I'll spare your lives!"

Zhao Hao roared, as if hot blood was surging from his chest.

The warhorse seemed to sense Zhao Hao's overwhelming fighting spirit, neighing loudly as it leaped high into the air, further amplifying Zhao Hao's momentum.

Zhao Hao laughed heartily and spontaneously composed a poem.

"A surge of righteous spirit fills my heart, a boundless exhilaration sweeps across the land! You villains, accept the judgment of my twin swords!"

The swords flashed like dragons, their movements both graceful and fierce. In an instant, the Xiongnu guards who stood between the two generals and Zhao Hao were all silenced, allowing Zhao Hao to successfully stage his own spectacle.

Even if they are elite troops, even if they are well-armored, even if they are armed with sharp weapons.

These Xiongnu guards had never seen such a bloodthirsty brute as Zhao Hao. Amidst an army of tens of thousands, and within a force of several thousand elite soldiers, he moved with unparalleled ease...

Taking the enemy general's head is as easy as taking something out of a bag!

"How...is this possible!"

"Such a fast... sword!"

Seeing that Zhao Hao was unstoppable, the two personal guard commanders actually had a slight thought of retreating.

However, Zhao Hao was clearly coming for them, so how could he let them leave?

If they dare to turn around, they probably won't even be able to close their eyes in peace before they die!

But if we grit our teeth and go for it, will we be able to avoid death?

When they face Zhao Hao, what are the possible outcomes...?

Or they die in a horrific way.

Either beheaded quickly!

Clearly, these two brilliant minds lived up to their nicknames and chose the more straightforward latter option!

"Hahaha, the traitorous general is dead, what can you do now!"

Zhao Haojian pointed to his tens of thousands of troops, but not a single one dared to step forward and challenge him.

"Hmph, as long as we never see your Lord Xubugudu, otherwise... you will all die today!"

After uttering those harsh words, Zhao Hao rode away without looking back.

Although I spent my luck points to obtain a complete set of platinum-level equipment, this equipment is not omnipotent.

If he continues to push himself, he will exhaust himself, and the equipment will become unusable.

"Tell your Chanyu that I, Zhao Hao, am waiting for him inside Yanmen Pass!"

All that the tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops could get in the end was Zhao Hao's lone figure riding away in the dust, and his majestic and expansive declaration.

"Hahaha...a bunch of cowards. If these people don't leave tonight, then they're all staying here!"

In his frantic run, Zhao Hao had already approached the walls of Yanmen Pass.

Beneath the wall, Hu Sanniang, with hundreds of cavalrymen, eagerly awaited their arrival.

"Young Master!"

"General!"

Zhao Hao didn't exchange pleasantries with them; instead, he gave orders.

"What are you all doing standing outside? I told you to go back inside! You'll be punished when you get back!"

...

After taking stock, Hu Sanniang, accompanied by Li Tingzhi, went to Zhao Hao's side to report on the casualties.

"Young master, after Tingzhi and I took stock, only 1,000 of the 3,000 light cavalry remain in combat. More than 1,200 have died in battle, and about 800 are wounded, including more than 500 seriously wounded and about 300 lightly wounded."

Zhao Hao nodded and beckoned for the two to sit down.

"Come on, let's eat this roasted mutton that we managed to smuggle from the Xiongnu camp."

"this.."

Unable to disobey Zhao Hao, the two could only sit by the campfire and cut off small pieces of mutton to eat.

Zhao Hao smiled helplessly. These two guys probably wanted to keep them all for himself.

"I order you all to finish these two legs of lamb, or you will be punished according to military law!"

Don't look at me. I naturally prepared some for Jinglue. I definitely have enough for myself, so I'm letting you all have some too.
