However, they have now been ravaged by the fire and turned into human torches.
"Grand Commandant, let's quickly escape to Tongguo City, leave this place, and then gather our soldiers!"
The beards of the two cavalry captains, A and B, were mostly burned off, and their cloaks were riddled with holes from the fire.
"Walk!"
The Left Grand Commandant roared angrily.
The thousand men fled like stray dogs to the city walls, where they could see the Xiongnu's wolf-head banner atop the walls.
"Open the door quickly! We are the soldiers of the Left Grand Commandant!"
The Xiongnu soldiers roared and demanded that the gate be opened.
Squeak!
The city gates were wide open.
The Left Grand Commandant and his thousand men surged forward.
After the last Xiongnu cavalryman entered the city, the city gates suddenly closed!
"Amitabha!"
A Buddhist chant was uttered, and a monk dressed in black appeared on the city wall.
A cold, murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and his bald head gleamed in the firelight.
Immediately afterwards, thousands of Han soldiers in black armor appeared.
"Bald monk, was it you who ambushed us?"
The thousand-armored rider roared, "I'll split your head open with one strike!"
"Your anger is too strong, so let this humble monk properly perform a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife!"
Dao Yan, instead of being angry, laughed and waved his hand lightly, causing countless arrows to shoot out from behind him.
Arrows rained down.
The soldiers who had just escaped from the fire had long since lost all their weapons and were in disarray.
After the hail of arrows, they fell one after another.
Before a meal was even finished, only the Left Grand Commandant and a mere hundred or so armored cavalrymen remained.
Dao Yan led Li Su down from the city wall and walked towards the Left Grand Commandant and the others.
"Surrender obediently, and this humble monk will spare your corpse!"
The thousand armored riders were enraged and drew their swords, charging forward.
Dozens of Xiongnu soldiers followed closely behind.
Before they had even reached halfway, another volley of arrows flew in, instantly turning the thousand armored cavalrymen and the dozens of Xiongnu soldiers into pincushions.
"May Buddha have mercy, may the phoenix rise from the ashes, I will recite another rebirth mantra for them later!"
The Left Grand Commandant's face turned deathly pale: "I surrender, I surrender!"
"Amitabha Buddha, it's too late!"
Dao Yan wore a mocking expression, then turned to Li Su beside him and said indifferently, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
These Huns before him seemed like mere dust and weeds.
Li Su was terrified.
This is no ordinary monk who practices vegetarianism and chants Buddhist prayers; he's a ruthless killer.
He gritted his teeth and gave the order to the soldiers behind him:
"Let's do it!"
Soldiers swarmed forward and mercilessly hacked at the unarmed Left Grand Commandant and his men, causing a river of blood to flow.
"After killing all the Xiongnu outside the city, cross the river and head to Meiji!"
Dao Yan said lightly.
