Agugan repeated the name "Xiahe" and saw the fear in Wumuhan's eyes, feeling surprised and disdainful.
He sneered:
"How powerful can a mere Qin man be? Are we, the Northern Barbarians, with 50,000 troops, still afraid of him?"
He immediately called in the scouts and asked about the casualties.
The scouts reported that the number of Qin troops ambushed in the canyon was definitely no more than 10,000.
In other words, the ambush just now was just taking advantage of their unpreparedness.
Upon hearing this, A Gugan immediately felt confident.
He sneered and said to everyone:
"I, Ah Gugan, have made up my mind to capture this Qin man named Xia He and sacrifice him to the Qin people! Let the Qin people know how powerful our Northern Barbarian warriors are!"
However, Wumuhan still looked pale and reminded in a low voice:
"Your Highness, Xia He should not be underestimated. When he was in Liang Province, he defeated the enemy with a small force and used his military skills like a god. If we underestimate the enemy, I'm afraid..."
Ah Gugan waved his hand to interrupt him and said coldly:
"Wumuhan, if you are afraid, just stay behind and watch. It's just a barbarian general hiding in the dark and attacking!"
"Oh, I don't take it to heart."
After that, he jumped on his horse, raised his long sword high, and ordered the whole army: "All soldiers, listen up and set up camp!"
…
On Xia He's side, after successfully blocking the barbarian army's vanguard of thousands of people, he decisively ordered a retreat to the depths of the canyon.
The soldiers cheered and their morale was high.
A young soldier excitedly said to his companion beside him:
"We won a great victory this time! Not a single casualty, the barbarians are nothing special!"
"Yes, with General Xia here, why should we be afraid of the barbarians? If they set up a few more ambushes, they will be completely wiped out!"
So, it is really possible for their 8,000 people to defend against 50,000 barbarians?
However, Liu Rushuang and Zhu Yi were not carried away by this short-lived victory.
Liu Rushuang walked to Xia He's side and whispered:
"Xia He, the Barbarian Army has 50,000 soldiers. We succeeded by luck this time. I'm afraid it won't be so easy next time."
Zhu Yi also nodded in agreement:
"That's right. The barbarians have already suffered a loss, so they will definitely be more cautious. We have to think of a way and can't just sit there and wait for death."
Xia He smiled slightly, his eyes deep:
"You are right. The barbarians will not give us a second chance. So, I plan to take the initiative."
"Take the initiative?"
Zhu Yi raised her eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in her tone.
"You don't want to lead a few of us to charge directly into the barbarian army camp, do you? There are 50,000 people there, this is no joke."
"Senior Sister Zhu, are you the worm in my stomach?"
Zhu Yi was just joking, but Xia He was stunned by her answer.
"Are you really going to do this?"
"Let's go and give them a 'big gift' now."
"Do you dare?"
Several people looked at each other, but almost immediately said,
"Why not?"
"But I have to say, Junior Brother, you are really brave..."
As night fell, Xia He, Liu Rushuang, Tie Zhan and Zhu Wei quietly sneaked out of the canyon and headed straight for the barbarian army camp.
Several people rode their horses towards the barbarian army camp and looked at the densely packed tents and patrolling barbarian soldiers in front of them.
My mood couldn't help but become heavy.
Xia He had a calm expression, and looked sharply at the general's flag fluttering in the wind in the center of the barbarian army camp.
He reached out to Zhu Yi to borrow her bow: "Senior sister, lend me your bow."
Zhu Yi was stunned for a moment, then handed over his large bow weighing nearly 100 dan:
"You are really good at choosing. This is my treasure."
"Can you pull it open?"
"It's only a hundred stones, I can pull it open!"
Xia He took the bow, took a deep breath, and exerted force with his arms, and the bowstring was instantly pulled to its full length.
He whispered, "Watch it."
“Whoosh!”
An arrow flew through the air and headed straight for the barbarian army's flag.
The arrow streaked across the night sky like a meteor and accurately shot off the flagpole of the general's flag.
The barbarian army camp was in turmoil in an instant, and countless barbarian soldiers rushed out of the tents, looking around in panic.
A Gugan was sitting in the big tent discussing countermeasures with the generals when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside.
Startled, he rushed out of the tent.
They saw that the commander's flag had been shot off, and in the distance a young man holding a huge bow was looking at them coldly.
Before A Gugan could react, Xia He had drawn the bow again, and the second arrow was flying straight at him!
"Protect the Third Prince!"
A barbarian general roared and swung his sword to chop at the arrows.
However, the force of the arrow was far beyond his imagination.
The moment the blade collided with the arrow, he felt a shock in his palm and almost couldn't hold the knife.
A Gugan picked up the arrow, his eyes full of surprise and doubt.
He turned to look at Wumuhan and asked coldly, "Who is that person?"
Wumuhan's face turned pale and his voice trembled:
"He is Xia He... the commander-in-chief of the Liangzhou battle."
Upon hearing this, A Gugan was both shocked and angry.
He looked up at Xia He in the distance, only to see him laughing and shouting:
"Wumuhan! I let you escape that day, but I didn't expect you to dare to come and die! Today I will grant your wish!"
Upon hearing this, the barbarian soldiers became furious and shouted that they would rush forward and tear Xia He into pieces.
As the third prince of the Northern Barbarians, A Gugan could not tolerate this humiliation, so he immediately jumped on his horse and picked up his sword.
"This Qin Chong came to my tent and challenged me like this! How can I tolerate this?"
"Hamuya (bastard)! You're looking for death!"
He rushed out with murderous intent. Seeing this, the generals around him hurriedly followed him, fearing that he might make a mistake.
