As for Jiang Ning, he looked at the setting sun and couldn't help but lower his head in disappointment.
Could it be that he really could not complete the system's mission this time? Could it be that he really had to brush past the Gongshu family?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning's face was filled with unwillingness.
However, even if he was unwilling, Jiang Ning could only let out a long sigh." Sigh, it's not mine. It's not mine after all. This is all fate!"”
However, just as the sun was about to set and the sky was about to turn dark, Jiang Ning heard a special sound.
Hearing this sound, Jiang Ning's expression froze.
He could not help but calm his mind and listen carefully to the sound in the distance.
After a moment, Jiang Ning's expression changed." There are people fighting!”
Hearing Jiang Ning's words, the hundred or so soldiers who had followed Jiang Ning were all shocked.
One of the soldiers, who was obviously a high-ranking officer, said,""General, there are sounds of fighting. If there is fighting nearby, it must be an internal conflict between the Xiongnu or the Xiongnu robbing caravans. If that is the case, there must be a lot of people. Why don't we return to the border city first and mobilize the army before coming to resist the enemy?”
After hearing the officer's words, Jiang Ning's mind spun rapidly.
After a long time, Jiang Ning's gaze finally settled on the setting sun.
Shaking his head heavily, Jiang Ning said,""This matter cannot be delayed. I will lead dozens of my subordinates to investigate. Return to the border city quickly and ask General Meng Tian to lead the army to support us!”
"General!"
The officer wanted to say something more, but when he saw Jiang Ning's cold gaze, he could only keep his mouth shut.
"Yes, this subordinate will go now."
As he spoke, the officer did not waste any more time and directly rode his horse away to the border town.
Jiang Ning only looked away after the officer had left.
Jiang Ning glanced at the remaining hundred Qin soldiers and shouted,""This general is about to lead you to resist the enemy. Unknown enemies, unknown numbers, everything is unknown.”
"I'm not afraid!"
Great Qin's Cavalrymen shouted in unison, their voices deafening.
Jiang Ning nodded heavily and said,"Then the entire army will follow me!"”
Following this, Great Qin's 100 or so Cavalrymen followed their General towards that unknown region.
At the same time, in a desolate open space.
There were two teams fighting fiercely.
Rather than calling it a fierce confrontation, it was more like a one-sided massacre.
A group of about a thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen surrounded a caravan, mercilessly slaughtering the people in the caravan.
Most of the people in the caravan were weak old men, women, and children.
Most of the young men who had the strength to resist had already died under the Xiongnu's saber, becoming souls of the dead.
At this moment, an old man attracted the attention of most of the Xiongnu.
What attracted the attention of these Xiongnu was not the old man's ferocious appearance or his stooped figure.
Instead, it was the old man's arm. It was actually a mechanical hand. Looking at the degree of flexibility, it was actually not inferior to a normal person's hand.
Seeing this, the Xiongnu became interested and surrounded the old man.
Among them, the leader of the Xiongnu, a burly man, reined in his horse and sized up the old man.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's actually a mechanical arm. Not bad.”
As he spoke, the burly man looked at the old man fiercely and said,
"Old man, judging from the weapons you're using, it should be some kind of mechanism art. In that case, I'll give you two options.”
"First, your entire clan will die, and then I will take your gold, silver, and treasures and run away. Second, if you are willing to help me make these mechanisms for you to use, I can spare you and your clansmen.”
The one-armed old man's expression flickered when he heard the burly man's words.
He had originally led his clansmen to take a risk and escape from the vast prairie and Chu Country. He was prepared to enter the Qin Country, which was at odds with Chu Country, and then plan to develop elsewhere.
But who knew that they would actually encounter this group of Xiongnu cavalry in the vast grasslands.
Now that his clansmen had already suffered heavy casualties, if they continued fighting, there would probably be a crisis of extermination.
'This…'
The one-armed old man fell into deep thought.
The Xiongnu leader was not in a hurry to urge the one-armed old man. Not only that, but he also signaled his subordinates who were still surrounding and killing the one-armed old man's clansmen not to act rashly for the time being.
The Xiongnu leader was filled with pride. If he had the help of these traps, he would have nothing to fear in the vast grasslands in the future.
"Haha…"
As he thought about it, the Xiongnu couldn't help but laugh proudly.
"This…"
The one-armed old man revealed a hint of ruthlessness as he looked at the proud Xiongnu leader.
"I…" The one-armed old man gritted his teeth.
The leader of the Xiongnu also listened to the one-armed old man's next words with a serious expression.
However, at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled.
The leader of the Xiongnu and the one-armed old man in front of him were shocked and quickly looked in the direction of the voice.
Not far away, a group of black cavalry was charging over.
One of the cavalrymen raised a black dragon flag.
Great Qin's Iron Cavalry!
When they saw the Black Dragon Cavalry, the Xiongnu cavalry couldn't remain calm.
Even though the Xiongnu people did not think much of Great Qin's soldiers, after the largest Xiongnu tribe in the border area was destroyed by the Qin army, the Xiongnu people became much more peaceful.
In addition, the sudden rise of General Jiang Ning in Nancheng had wiped out the scattered Xiongnu tribes, making the Xiongnu even more anxious.
"Qin army?"
The one-armed old man also saw the black cavalrymen charging over at high speed. When he heard the words of the Xiongnu leader beside him, the old man's face was filled with doubt.
"Eh, something's wrong!"
At this moment, the leader of the Xiongnu seemed to have sensed something. The nervousness on his face disappeared and turned into a smug expression.
