Xia He roared and instantly entered a state of blood violence. The effects of the five Hunyuan internal organs were stimulated to the extreme, his blood and energy soared, and his momentum was astonishing.
The spear in his hand suddenly thrust out, it was the unique skill of the Xuanwu Overlord Spear - Shenglong Tianqiang!
"boom!"
The spear was as powerful as a dragon, with unrivaled force, and it smashed the horse under A Gugan's crotch into pieces.
Although he was stabbed several times, he was protected by the double protection of Vajra Body and Tiangang Body Technique.
Only a white mark was left, and all the swords and guns were shaken away!
A Gugan fell off his horse, looking very miserable.
However, the barbarians in front ignored them and simply fled, with no one turning back to rescue them.
In the end, the Northern Barbarian Army barely withdrew from the canyon at the cost of 3,000 casualties.
"The proficiency has increased quite well!"
Xia He was delighted. Just from this bloody battle, his proficiency in the already perfected "Xuanwu Overlord Spear" increased by several hundred points?
"Hiss... If I keep going like this, there's still a chance for my marksmanship to improve. Maybe I can even create a marksmanship of my own?"
Creating martial arts is usually exclusive to martial saints!
Tie Zhan, Liu Rushuang, Zhu Wei and others rushed over and were overjoyed to see that Xia He had captured "A Gugan" alive.
"Junior brother, you are awesome!"
"They actually managed to capture the Barbarian Army's commander alive!"
The other two were even more frightened.
"Xia He, I, Tie Zhan, am completely convinced by you!"
Liu Rushuang's eyes were also full of brilliance.
Women all admire strong men.
I saw Xia He just broke into the enemy's camp and took the enemy general's head from the midst of thousands of soldiers.
Anyone who sees this will be overwhelmed with emotion!
However, as if she thought of the noise she heard that night, Liu Rushuang's expression became a little unnatural again.
"You don't sleep at night, and you're still so fierce during the day..."
However, Xia He turned his head, his face clearly showing a hint of disappointment, and shook his head.
"This person is not Ah Gu Gan!"
"Who are you? Where is A Gugan? Why are you wearing the coach's golden armor?" Zhu Yi frowned.
"I know this man. His name is Wumuhan, the leader of the Iron Hoof Tribe. A Gugan was cunning and used him as a scapegoat. However, we didn't lose in this battle."
Liu Rushuang walked to Xia He's side and asked in a low voice:
"What should we do next? Although the Barbarian Army suffered heavy losses, we failed to stop their main force."
Logically speaking, their 8,000 people could stop the 50,000-strong barbarian army.
At the cost of less than two thousand casualties, more than four thousand enemies were killed, including two thousand cavalry!
It’s definitely a great victory!
From a strategic point of view, although the main force of the barbarian army lost 3,000 people in this battle, it was not seriously injured.
If we let them go south, the consequences will be disastrous.
It can be expected that the remaining 20,000 main forces of the imperial court would face tens of thousands of cavalry from the northern barbarians.
I'm afraid it will be eaten clean.
Xia He knew this very well and immediately called everyone together to discuss the next countermeasures.
Inside the tent, Xia He spread out the map and scanned every mark on it with a serious look.
Tie Zhan stood aside, frowning and proposed a seemingly feasible idea:
"Xia He, if the Zhaos really get support from Mingzhou, they might be able to fight the barbarian army."
"After all, Mingzhou has 70,000 troops and elite cavalry. If they arrive in time, we may have a chance of winning."
Xia He shook his head, his tone calm and firm:
"Minzhou won't respond so quickly."
"You have overlooked one problem - half a month ago, there was an insect plague in Mingzhou. The food was almost eaten up. There was not much grass left on the ground."
"Although Mingzhou has cavalry, the horses are hungry and cannot run. How can they provide support quickly? Zhao Tiangang and his gang may seem smart, but they are actually extremely stupid."
Tie Zhan's face changed when he heard this, and he murmured in a low voice:
"I see……"
Xia He nodded and continued:
"Next, we must hurry and clean up the battlefield."
"The remaining armor, weapons, and surviving horses of the barbarians have all been dealt with."
"We can't rely on Mingzhou anymore. We have to find a way out ourselves!"
…
On the other side, the remnant troops led by Zhao Tiangang were in a state of disgrace after crossing Youzhou.
The rebels in Youzhou did not let them go and kept following them like a pack of wolves.
He neither pursued them with all his strength nor let them go easily. It was obvious that he was waiting for them to exhaust their strength.
The tens of thousands of troops were nearly caught up several times and finally found a dilapidated county town.
They barely managed to squeeze in and relied on the remaining defensive fortifications in the county town to put up a temporary resistance.
Inside the county government office, Zhao Tiangang's face was gloomy as he listened to his subordinates' report:
"Marshal, the troops from Mingzhou cannot respond quickly. Their horses are running short of fodder and are moving slowly. It will take at least ten days for them to arrive."
Zhao Tiangang was furious when he heard this and punched the table:
"Useless! All useless! Can't Mingzhou even gather this little bit of food and grass?"
"Do they really want to see us die before they are happy?"
The people below looked at each other in horror.
A general whispered:
"Marshal, now is not the time to get angry. The scouts just reported that the sound of horse hooves was deafening hundreds of miles away. I'm afraid the barbarian army has already broken through the canyon and is chasing us!"
Zhao Tiangang's face turned pale and he cursed:
"waste!"
"That guy surnamed Xia is really unreliable! How long have they been holding him back?"
The others were also terrified and said,
"They must have been wiped out! If we hadn't run fast, I'm afraid they would have died in Youzhou!"
