At the city gate of the Bawutu tribe.
The bloody battle was still going on!
When the Wuhuan general who was in charge of guarding the city gate saw Ji Hu's signal, he immediately shouted,"
Immediately, his expression changed drastically. If it was just these people at the city gate, it did not matter even if he could not get rid of them in a short period of time. He could still kill them all in some time.
Even if they couldn't kill them all, it wouldn't be a problem to chase them out of the city gates.
However, when the smoke rose, it was obvious that there was still a Han army behind them. As for the army in front of them, it was only a small force.
If the army behind them arrived, the Bawutu tribe would most likely fall today. Thus, cold sweat broke out on the latter's forehead as he commanded the Wuhuan people around him to charge forward and say,
"Attack! Hold on!"
"Children, kill them all.”
"Kill all these Han soldiers, quickly."
Under his command, the Wuhuan people continued to charge towards Ji Hu and the others, wanting to chase them out.
However, he had to admit,
Ji Hu, who had finally occupied the city gate, was not willing to back out.
They also brandished the spears in their hands as they continued to charge forward. The heads of the foreign races rolled onto the ground one after another. Under the desperate protection of the front row, the archers at the back also continued to attack. This battle became more and more intense.
"Defend it at all costs. The general and the others were about to arrive. They definitely could not let them take back the city gate.”
At this moment, Ji Hu was also filled with fighting spirit.
He had no intention of retreating in the face of the Wuhuan Tribe's frenzied assault.
After all,
Only by guarding the city gate could the Tiger Troop rush in. This way, they would reduce their losses by a lot.
Otherwise, even if they managed to take down the city, they would still suffer heavy losses. Therefore, they had to defend. No matter what, they could not let the Wuhuan take the city gate.
Even if they fought to the last soldier, they couldn't stop.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate. The city gate was like a meat grinder, devouring the lives of the Wuhuan people. Of course, the 800 Tiger Troop soldiers also suffered heavy losses.
After all, the difference in numbers between the two sides was too great. They had already lost nearly half of their forces.
More and more Wuhuan people gathered.
The Bawutu tribe had 120,000 Wuhuan tribesmen who were good at fighting. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the city gate changed hands.
Even so, Ji Hu was still unwilling to give up.
He had made a military pledge in front of Qin Mu that if he couldn't complete the mission, he would have to bring his head to meet him.
So,
Either die or defend.
Not only Ji Hu, but even General Bawutu, who was standing at the city gate, was shocked.
He had personally witnessed the entire battle. The Great Han Army only had a few hundred people. Normally, they would not even value such an army.
However, the combat strength that he displayed today was shockingly powerful.
After a rough estimation,
At least two to three thousand Wuhuan soldiers had fallen in front of the city gate. Even so, the Han army still held fast. No one retreated. The casualties were several times greater than before. The general guarding the city was shocked. When had their warriors become so vulnerable?
At this moment, he had not realized it.
The Tiger Cavalry in front of him was different from the Great Han army in the past!
……
And as they fought at the city gate,
All of a sudden,
The sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar. It was as if the entire world had begun to shake. Based on his many years of nomadic experience, it was clear that such a sound would only appear when a large number of cavalry were mobilized.
"Not good, the army of the Great Han Dynasty is charging over.”
The Wuhuan general's expression turned ugly. He instantly guessed the origin of this army.
Currently,
The Wuhuan Royal Court had not sent any troops to them. Even if they had, they would not have arrived so quickly. In addition to the signal just now, the only possibility was that this army was the Great Han army that had recently appeared on the grasslands.
"Damn it, attack! Hurry up, all of you, attack! Kill them and take back control of the city gate! As long as you kill them, you will be promoted three ranks and rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!”
The Wuhuan general was already somewhat anxious. The city gates could not be breached, or else how could they defend against the Great Han cavalry?
However, Ji Hu, who was in the midst of fighting, also heard the sound of hooves behind him.
His eyes revealed a maniacal smile as he shouted,"Brothers, hold on for me. The general is about to attack. Our reinforcements are about to arrive.”
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Tiger Troop, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, also became filled with fighting spirit after hearing the voice of their commander.
With every swing of his blade, he had killed several Wuhuan clansmen. The already exaggerated casualty ratio was even more exaggerated now.
At this moment, the Tiger Troop was like a man-eating beast, devouring the lives of the Wuhuan clansmen. Every time their blades fell, a life would be taken.
Such terrifying battle prowess made the Wuhuan people feel somewhat terrified.
Finally, after the Tiger Troop had less than 300 people.
From the distant horizon, several black figures appeared. They were the 18 riders of Yanyun led by Li Cunxiao. After this army joined the battle at the city gate, the losses of the Wuhuan people reached a terrifying number.
The spears in the hands of the Eighteen Cavalry of Yan Yun kept stabbing and retracting.
It was a simple action, but the Wuhuan people were unable to block it. There were only eighteen of them, but they were like an army of thousands, causing the Wuhuan people to tremble in fear.
As these nineteen people appeared,
On the distant horizon, there were finally dense black shadows flashing. There was a fluttering Han flag in the middle of the array, and the word Qin was written on it in Qin script.
Not only that, the sky turned gloomy as they appeared. However, as the sky became darker, the Wuhuan people could clearly see that these were arrows. Clearly, they were the work of the large Han army behind them.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
Puchi!
……
The arrow streaked across the sky and finally landed inside the earthen wall.
In an instant, many Wuhuan people fell to the ground, but the rain of arrows was far from stopping. The burly men led by Qin Mu continued to shoot arrows until their backpacks were empty.
After a few waves of arrow rain,
Nearly ten thousand of the Wuhuan Army soldiers had fallen, and the dense mass of corpses was enough to make one collapse.
One had to know,
The two armies hadn't even officially engaged in battle, yet they had already lost ten percent of their forces. How could they fight?
"Kill them!"
After the rain of arrows, Qin Mu didn't hesitate. He raised the Nine Luminaries Sun-Breaking Spear in his hand and took the lead to charge forward. As for the Tiger Troop behind him, they followed closely behind.
At this moment, the city gate had been taken over by Li Cunxiao and the others. As for the Wuhuan people, they had lost all interest in fighting against such a terrifying army.
When the war began,
On a hill not far away from the grassland stood a person.
