"This year, the Wuhuan have yet to invade our borders. What do you think?”Chen Zhan glanced at the few of them and spoke again.
There was a hint of a test in his words.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Liao spoke first,"This year's weather is much colder than the previous years. The days on the grasslands will definitely not be easy. In my opinion, the Wuhuan people will definitely make a big move in the near future.”
"What Wenyuan said makes sense." Guan Yu continued," This year, there's a lot of heavy snow. Food is scarce on the grasslands. If they don't want to starve to death, they can only come to the border to plunder.”
"Hahaha, it's good that those damned Wuhuan people are here. Let's just kill them all.”
Zhang Fei's loud voice rang out," If you ask me, why don't we take the initiative to attack instead of having to guard against thieves all day?"”
Among Chen Zhan's subordinates, he was the most belligerent. He wished he could start fighting now.
"Report…"
As they were conversing, an armored soldier suddenly ran over.
"General, there's an urgent report from the roaming cavalry. They've discovered a large number of Wuhuan cavalry heading towards Pinggang and Baitan.”
As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere on the high platform instantly became somber.
Only by being at the border could one understand how cruel the Wuhuan people were. They simply did not treat the Han people as humans.
Every raid was a bloody massacre.
Zhang Liao and the others looked at Chen Zhan in unison, their bodies surrounded by battle intent and killing intent, waiting for his orders.
"Just in time!"
Chen Zhan's eyes narrowed as he stood up abruptly." Generals, listen up…"
……
Baitan County.
On the tall city wall, a group of soldiers were standing on guard, chatting with each other.
Suddenly, the ground shook and a loud rumble came from afar.
On the horizon, a large cloud of dust flew up as a group of black cavalry charged towards Baitan County like a tide.
The vast momentum made people unable to help but feel fear.
"Not good, it's the Wuhuan Cavalry!"
"Gather, gather. Everyone, get ready for battle.”
"Quickly send someone to Lulong Fortress and request for General Chen Zhan's support.”
"Little brat, why are you in a daze? Hurry up and get your weapons ready for battle.”
The pupils of the soldiers guarding the city constricted. The veterans were ready for battle at the first moment, and the recruits also reacted to the shouts of the veterans.
For a moment, a tense and solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire county.
On the flat plains, the horses galloped at a speed far beyond imagination. In a few moments, the Wuhuan cavalry had approached Baitan County.
There were over seven thousand Wuhuan cavalry attacking Baitan County, and their leader was King Qiao.
Looking at the city wall that was within sight, the Qiao King of the Wuhuan raised his spear and shouted,"
"Warriors of the Wuhuan, there are women, wine, and food in the city ahead. The first to enter the city will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, five beautiful women, and ten jars of wine.”
" Roar, roar, roar! Kill, kill, kill!"
Instantly, the sound of battle shook the sky, and all the Wuhuan cavalrymen revealed sinister smiles.
Compared to the bitter cold of the grasslands, the beauties and fine wine of the Central Plains made them yearn for them.
Having achieved his goal, King Qiao of the Wuhuan curled his lips and shouted again,
"Everyone, prepare to fire!"
"Release!"
The Wuhuan people were a nomadic race. They grew up on horseback and were skilled in archery and riding, especially in archery.
Following King Qiao's order, the sky full of arrows rained down on the city walls of Baitan County.
It was so dense that it made one's heart shatter.
"Be careful of the arrows!"
On the city wall, the pupils of the Han army's city guard captain constricted. His face was a little pale, but he still appeared calm.
Some of the veterans had fought with the Wuhuan people before and knew their methods. They immediately raised their shields and hid in a corner.
After a wave of arrows, the ones who died were basically all new recruits.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Before the city guards could heave a sigh of relief, the second wave of arrows descended.
The sharp arrows hit the city walls and ground, making a clanging sound. When they landed on people, it was a different sound.
On the city wall, screams could be heard from time to time, but they quickly stopped.
The smell of blood slowly filled the air.
Looking at their comrades who were constantly falling beside them, the recruits were so scared that their faces turned pale. They shrank into the corner and trembled.
His frightened eyes revealed endless hatred.
After two volleys of arrows, the Wuhuan cavalry finally reached the city.
"Children, break through this city!”
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Under the command of King Qiao, thousands of Wuhuan cavalrymen charged at the city walls and gates like hungry wolves.
"Defend the city walls. Think of your families behind you.”
On the high wall, the Han lieutenant roared angrily. He held a longbow in his hand and shot down the Wuhuan cavalrymen who approached the city gate.
"Kill for your family!"
"Kill, kill, kill! Damned Wuhuan people, pay with your lives for my father and mother!”
"F * ck, the Wuhuan people have only one head. What are they afraid of?”
Less than 800 of the 1,000 soldiers guarding the city were left, but they were all motivated to fight the Wuhuan people without fear of death.
Most of these soldiers were born in the border areas, and their families had a blood feud with the Wuhuan and other foreign races.
Thinking of the evil deeds of the Wuhuan people after they broke through the city walls, the eyes of the soldiers began to glow red as they fought desperately against the Wuhuan cavalrymen who climbed up the walls.
The city walls of Baitan County were fifteen meters tall. The Han army had the advantage of defending the city, causing a lot of damage to the Wuhuan people.
"Hmph, as long as we kill this Han general, we can quickly break through the city.”
King Qiao of the Wuhuan clan stared coldly at the Han army lieutenant on the city wall.
Taking advantage of the other party's distraction, he sneakily shot an arrow.
Whoosh!
With an ear-piercing sound, the sharp arrow pierced through the Han army lieutenant's chest.
" Sneak attack! Shameless Wuhuan people…"
With a muffled groan, the Han lieutenant staggered. After forcefully killing several Wuhuan cavalrymen, he could not help but cough up blood and fall.
Feeling his life slipping away, his eyes were filled with unwillingness and hatred.
Unfortunately, he could no longer protect the border of Great Han and the people in the city…
"The Han general is dead. Kill him with me!"
Seeing this, the Qiao King of the Wuhuan raised his spear and led the rest of the Wuhuan cavalrymen to charge towards the city gate.
"General!"
"Damn Wuhuan people, let's fight them to the death.”
"Kill one to make it worth it, kill two to make it worth it. Today, I will kill to my heart's content.”
"Hahahaha, Father, Mother, Elder Sister, I've killed three Wuhuan bastards. I've finally avenged you.”
Although the death of the Han lieutenant caused a temporary disturbance, it also made the remaining Han soldiers even more valiant.
Everyone knew that the Wuhuan people had never left anyone alive when they broke into a city. They killed everyone regardless of age, leaving only the young women behind.
It was better to drag an enemy along with him before he died.
Bang!
All of a sudden, a loud bang rang out, and the entire city wall shook.
"Not good, the city gate has been broken open.”
"Aaah, kill! We can't let these bastards enter the city!”
The expressions of the Han soldiers in the midst of battle changed drastically, and they began to fight even more desperately.
If his weapon fell, he would use his hands. If his hands were crippled, he would use his teeth. He would bite the enemy and not let go even if he died.
Because behind them were the citizens of the city.
