As the sun set in the west, the world was suffused with a red glow. When it shone on one's face, it was very rosy. In this kind of atmosphere, human nature would always subconsciously produce laziness!
In the wilderness, the herdsmen were driving their sheep back to their tribe. Their calls were continuous, just like the way the nomads had worked for thousands of years!
If no one disturbed them, it would be so peaceful and serene. However, they were now stepping on the land of the Great Han Dynasty!
"Woo! The sheep on your side are about to get separated. Be careful!”An old herdsman waved his whip and shouted at a young Xiongnu in the distance!
Their faces were angry, but their eyes were filled with smiles. Their current life was simply heaven to them!
Without the oppression of the Han officials, without so many exorbitant taxes every year, and without his children being transferred to help the Han fight!
His family could finally eat their fill and not starve! All of this was brought to them by Lord Prince Xian of the Left!
Ever since a year ago, Prince Xian of the Left had killed the Han officials and seized the Han cities, the lives of the herdsmen had been getting better and better!
The Han people that they could only envy in the past had now become their slaves, herding horses and sheep for them!
The feeling of being exploited and bullied by the Xiongnu was really great. The old herdsman was sincerely happy!
After being scolded by the old herdsman, the young man named Wujihan revealed a carefree smile. He turned around on his horse and whipped his side!
"Lowly Han, you're too slow!" Go and catch those sheep. If one of them is missing, I'll chop off your feet!”
The whip made of sheepskin was very tough. When it hit a person, it would instantly leave a bloody mark. The two Han people beside him were in tattered clothes!
In this cold early spring, they only wore a single layer of clothing. Their clothes had been snatched away by the Xiongnu, and everything they had was occupied by the Xiongnu!
His eyes were numb and his body was covered in wounds. He was as thin as a stick. He had been whipped, but his expression did not change. He was already used to it!
There was no sign of anger on his face. He ran forward mechanically to chase after the flock of sheep! In order to prevent them from escaping, the Huns did not allow them to ride horses!
They could only run and chase after the sheep!
Perhaps, they did not know why they were still alive!
"Bah! Lowly Han!" Looking at the backs of the two Han slaves, the Xiongnu man named Wujihan snorted, his face full of disdain!
The Han people were cunning and treacherous. They were only fit to be slaves of the Xiongnu!
After the Xiongnu went south, they conquered a large amount of Han territory and plundered a large number of Han people into slaves. The Xiongnu people exploited them to the extreme!
He was even taking pleasure in bullying! Countless Han citizens died every day!
Seeing Wujihan whip the Han, the old herdsman sighed and said nothing. This was too normal!
Moreover, the Xiongnu people had also been exploited and oppressed by the Han people! The life of the Xiongnu people back then was also very miserable!
The only thing to blame was that the Han were too weak!
The Xiongnu people had not lost their wolf form, but the Han people had become sheep!
As the old herdsman sighed, a low rumble suddenly sounded in his ears. He looked up at the sky. There were no clouds for thousands of miles, and it was dyed red!
"I'm old! My ears are starting to feel dizzy!" The old herdsman shook his head with a smile. He thought it was an illusion. He had lived too well this year!
But soon, he felt his body shaking and the ground trembling. The sheep beside him seemed to have sensed something and kept howling!
Thousands of sheep were restless and frightened. They scrambled to escape in all directions. The old herdsman and the others could not control them at all!
However, he did not have the mood to care about the flock of sheep. At this moment, he finally knew that he was not hallucinating. A real situation had occurred!
The Xiongnu people who grew up in the grasslands were all too familiar with this situation. This was a huge herd of horses charging forward!
Wild horses would not appear in Western Liang. They would only appear in the depths of the grasslands. Therefore, it was very likely that a large number of cavalry would appear here at this time!
A huge cavalry army of at least ten thousand cavalry!
The old herdsman's face was filled with shock. He kept comforting the horse under him. His black hands that were like tree bark gripped a bow and arrow tightly like pliers!
His body's instincts told him that danger was coming!
The surrounding Xiongnu people quickly moved closer to the old herdsman. There were only a dozen of them, and they all looked frightened!
"Could it be the 10,000 cavalry directly under Prince Xian of the Left? Only Prince Zuoxioxian's troops could have such power in the Southern Desert!”Wujihan said in a solemn voice!
The current Han people were vulnerable, and the three northern prefectures had become the territory of the Xiongnu. Apart from the Xiongnu Chanyu's headquarters, only the cavalry under Prince Xian of the Left could organize tens of thousands of people!
But the Chanyu's royal court was in Bingzhou! It was very far away from here! Therefore, they guessed that Prince Xian of the Left, Xiu Tu She, had come!
Xiu Tushe led them to resist the Han Dynasty and let them live a better life. They were very supportive of Xiu Tushe!
If this was Xiu Tu She's army, they would definitely bring out all the good things to entertain them!
"It must be Prince Xian of the Left's ten thousand cavalry. Prince Xian of the Left must have made some big move again! I wonder if you can bring our Qulin Division along!”
"Prince Xian of the Left wants to attack the Han Dynasty, right?”
"It's also possible that he's going to fight the Qiang Qu Chanyu. I heard that the lords of the various tribes have long been very dissatisfied with the Qiang Qu Chanyu!”
These Xiongnu herdsmen were guessing. They were so excited that they thought that these were Xiu Tushe's ten thousand cavalry and did not know that danger was coming!
Only the old herdsman remained calm. He looked into the distance with a solemn expression. Feeling the tremors from the ground, he became more and more uneasy!
Years of hunting experience told him that this matter was not that simple!
As the rumbling grew louder and louder, the old herdsman finally saw the shadow of this army!
Under the rays of the setting sun, this army was sprinkled with a layer of sacred light. The old herdsman could only see a group of black shadows!
They were rapidly approaching them, but the formation was not scattered at all!
"This should be Prince Xian of the Left's army! Only Prince Xian of the Left's troops could have such an imposing manner!”Looking at the fast but steady army under the setting sun, Wujihan said in a low voice with some surprise!
Until now, he still believed that the cavalry that came were the direct subordinates of the Left Sage Prince Xiu Tu She! Other than this army, there was no other cavalry in Western Liang that could march so quickly and steadily!
However, facing the charge of over ten thousand cavalrymen, their breathing stopped as they felt a violent aura coming at them! His palms were covered in sweat!
As the distance got closer and closer, they could already see the figures of the cavalrymen at the very front! At this moment, the old herdsman's eyes widened and his body stiffened!
His face was filled with disbelief, and his dry lips finally burst out into a roar,"It's the Han army, the Han army is here!"
