"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
As soon as Lu Li's 50,000 cavalrymen stepped into the southern part of the Hetao region, several hundred Xiongnu scouts immediately sensed something was wrong.
The Xiongnu were a nomadic people of the steppes, and they were very sensitive to danger, especially when they thought they were safe.
"Retreat! Retreat now!"
"Withdraw! Withdraw!"
The Xiongnu were in a panic and desperately tried to escape Lu Li's encirclement.
"Kill!" Lu Li said coldly, his eyes narrowing into slits.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Arrows rained down, and hundreds of Xiongnu fell in pools of blood.
"Shoot down every single Xiongnu soldier!"
"Kill them!!"
"Kill all those treacherous Hun dogs!"
The Qin cavalry roared and charged forward with fury. Their combat skills had been honed over many years and were already highly refined.
"Pfft!"
Sharp blades pierced the bodies of the Xiongnu soldiers. Blood splattered onto the ground, staining the yellow earth red. The screams of the Xiongnu echoed across the battlefield, filling it with the stench of blood.
The Xiongnu people cried out incessantly, but they could not stop the Qin cavalry from slaughtering them.
Lu Li rode on horseback, watching the Xiongnu people die one after another, without the slightest sympathy on his face.
He knew perfectly well what these Xiongnu people were. Since they dared to offend the Qin Dynasty, they should be prepared to pay the price.
After killing all the scouts, Lu Li led 50,000 Qin troops to attack the cities in the southern part of the Hetao region.
"The Qin army is here!"
The shouts of the Xiongnu garrison on the city wall reached all the Xiongnu soldiers in the southern part of the Ordos region, who rushed out in haste, only to be met head-on by the murderous Qin army. They didn't even have time to close the city gates.
"Kill them!"
"Charge in and slaughter all the Xiongnu!"
The Qin cavalry roared as they charged into the city gate, cutting down the Xiongnu guards in front of them.
The Xiongnu defenders hastily resisted, charging towards the Qin cavalry. A fierce battle quickly erupted, blood splattering everywhere. The Xiongnu corpses lay in pools of blood, their eyes glaring in resentment.
Lu Li sat on his horse, coldly watching the battle ahead.
The Xiongnu were caught completely off guard and could not withstand the Qin army's iron hooves. In just two hours, the entire city fell to the Qin cavalry.
In this battle, 10,000 were beheaded, and the remaining Xiongnu soldiers had no will to resist and fled north.
"Sir, the Xiongnu are fleeing north. Should we pursue them?"
Lu Li nodded. "Continue the pursuit and make sure to drive all the Xiongnu people to the northern region!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Li led an army of 50,000 in pursuit of the fleeing Xiongnu, only slowing down when they reached the border between the southern and northern parts of the Hetao region.
"stop!"
Lu Li shouted, stopping everyone.
He raised his head and gazed at the vast sky, a cold glint in his eyes. He sneered, "Send an order to Meng Tian, tell him that the Xiongnu are cornered! Tell him to open a gap and let the Xiongnu flee north!"
"yes!"
The men from the Black Ice Platform bowed respectfully and quickly left. A ruthless glint appeared in Lu Li's eyes. He ordered the Xiongnu to flee back, insisting that they be followed to find the Xiongnu's lair!
Lu Li led 50,000 elite cavalry in relentless pursuit, and the Xiongnu were no match for them.
In just two days, the Xiongnu suffered heavy casualties.
Meanwhile, Meng Tian's 250,000-strong army blocked the Xiongnu's path, preventing them from advancing north at will. The Xiongnu could no longer bear their fear and began to collapse.
Upon seeing this, Meng Tian's lips curled into a smile.
"Haha, brothers, follow me and kill them all! Slaughter all those Xiongnu traitors!"
The Qin cavalry roared with excitement, brandishing their weapons and charging towards the Xiongnu, determined to annihilate them completely!
The Xiongnu were driven to the brink of despair and had no regard for anything else but to escape!
At this moment, Meng Tian also received Lu Li's message and immediately understood Lu Li's meaning.
So he deliberately left an opening, giving the Xiongnu people hope of breaking out.
Sure enough, after discovering the gap, the Xiongnu people couldn't wait to break out.
The Black Ice Guard secretly followed them to the grasslands.
In the end, Meng Tian and Lu Li conquered the entire Hetao region! The two armies joined forces.
Meng Tian's face was beaming with excitement; this battle was incredibly satisfying.
"Sir, in this battle our army annihilated 60,000 enemy soldiers and captured 30,000. Only 10,000 Xiongnu soldiers escaped back to the grasslands!"
"Moreover, I also captured the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu! Aguru!"
Meng Tian brought the prisoner Agul to Lu Li with a face full of joy.
Lu Li glanced at Agul and asked, "Are you the Left Wise King?"
“Yes!” Agul said, bowing his head.
Lu Li stared coldly at Agul, slowly drawing the Tianwen Sword from his waist with his right hand.
"Tell me, where is the homeland of your Xiongnu people?"
Lu Li stared at Agul, his whole body radiating a chilling killing intent.
"You won't find out!"
Agul gritted his teeth and said, "I will never betray my Xiongnu. Kill me, and we Xiongnu will rise again sooner or later."
"hehe!"
Lu Li shook his head. "Killing you would be too lenient."
"Do you think I wouldn't know just because you didn't tell me?"
Agul suddenly raised her head, looked at Lu Li in disbelief, and then said sarcastically, "You're just trying to trick me into saying anything. I won't tell you anything!"
