"I'm not done with you!"
The moment Zhou Yafu fell to the ground, Military Kill Ripper let out his strongest curse.
What about Ouyang Shuo? He turned a deaf ear to it.
He picked up Zhou Yafu's general soul and a book before turning around and preparing to leave the battlefield. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Military Kill Ripper would really eat him.
There was another reason why Ouyang Shuo was in a hurry to leave. The [Bloodthirst Seal] only had half an hour of effect. If he didn't leave early, he would be at the mercy of others!
Zhou Yafu's death caused a commotion among the surrounding troops.
The Divine Martial Guards had an imposing manner.
With the personal guards as the vanguard, they brazenly broke through the enemy's defensive line and left.
Military Kill Ripper was flustered and exasperated as he personally led his troops to chase.
However, even the elite Mongolian warhorses were inferior to the green-beetle horses. After chasing for more than ten li, Military Kill Ripper saw the Divine Martial Guards disappear into the distance. He bit his lips in anger and blood flowed out.
Ouyang Shuo was indeed the nemesis of Military Kill Ripper.
Military Kill Ripper had single-handedly set up a trap for himself in the end. The cavalry of Asura City that had just started to improve was probably going to die midway after losing General Zhou Yafu.
The rise of Asura City had come to an end.
Military Kill Ripper was unlucky but Ouyang Shuo didn't feel good either.
Not long after charging out of the encirclement, the side effect of the [Bloodthirst Seal] started to take effect. Ouyang Shuo felt powerless and couldn't even hold the reins. If it wasn't for the green lightning, he would have fallen off the horse.
Military Kill Ripper's pursuit made Ouyang Shuo's heart jump.
Blessings never come in pairs and misfortunes never come alone.
The Divine Martial Guards had just gotten rid of Military Kill Ripper and Ouyang Shuo was about to let out a sigh of relief when a group of Xiong Nu cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them. When they saw the Divine Martial Guards, they didn't say anything and charged over aggressively.
The Xiong Nu cavalry were like wolves that had seen sheep, letting out fearless howls.
"Wu ~ ~ ~ Ao ~ ~ Huala ~ ~ ~"
Even from far away, they could feel the ferocity and cruelty of the Xiong Nu.
Their curved blades glinted coldly.
Upon closer inspection, some of the blades had traces of blood and flesh.
This was a pack of real wolves.
Ouyang Shuo once again had a clear understanding of his [Fortune Source] attribute.
When a person was unlucky, even a mouthful of cold water would get stuck between the teeth.
Although the Divine Martial Guards had performed valiantly in the previous breakout, they were outnumbered and suffered heavy losses. More than six hundred Divine Martial Guards were completely buried on the battlefield.
Facing the thousands of Xiongnu cavalry again, he would really have to fight with his life on the line.
The problem was that they had no choice but to fight this battle.
Firstly, the horses of the Xiongnu were of the best quality and they were all skilled in horsemanship. It would be difficult for the Divine Martial Guard to get rid of the Xiongnu cavalry like how they got rid of the military.
Secondly, the Great Steppe was the territory of the Xiongnu.
Even if the Divine Martial Guards could temporarily escape, they wouldn't be able to escape their pursuit.
In the end, there had to be a battle.
Moreover, it might even attract more Xiongnu cavalry.
Therefore, the only way was to face the difficulties head-on and resolutely fight.
It was just that Ouyang Shuo was completely powerless and could not personally command the army.
In the following battle, Wang Feng was in charge of leading the charge.
Strategist Zhao Kuo would replace Ouyang Shuo and command the army.
His personal guards wouldn't participate in this battle. Their mission was to ensure Ouyang Shuo's safety.
Ouyang Shuo, who had performed valiantly just now, had become a burden to the army.
Thinking about it, there was nothing he could do.
Two thousand Divine Martial Guards under Wang Feng's command clashed with four thousand Xiongnu cavalry.
The Xiongnu thought that they had encountered sheep, but they didn't know that they were a pack of tigers.
This was a battle between a wolf and a tiger.
Neither side could back down from the battle.
The Xiong Nu cavalry was mainly made up of light cavalry. This was especially so for a scattered division like this, which was even more so for light cavalry.
They were nimble in battle and skilled in horsemanship.
In the battle against the Han army, they had often relied on their nimble tactics to make the Han army suffer.
This time, they had encountered a tough opponent.
The cavalry tactics of the Divine Martial Guard might not be unparalleled, but it was rare.
Generals like Luo Shixin and Shi Wansui, who were experts in cavalry tactics, had been invited to be instructors of the Divine Martial Guard. How could such a luxurious team of instructors be child's play?
Even Wang Feng had been influenced by them and was well-versed in cavalry tactics.
Zhao Kuo, the military advisor, was no stranger to cavalry tactics.
In history, the State of Zhao was known for its elite cavalry, who were known for their Hu clothing and archery. As a general of the State of Zhao, how could Zhao Kuo not know cavalry tactics?!
Wang Feng and Zhao Kuo were a perfect combination.
One charged at the front, while the other was at the back, complementing each other.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Huo Qubing's cavalry couldn't be compared to the Divine Martial Guard in terms of cavalry tactics. After all, Huo Qubing's cavalry tactics were far from mature.
Therefore, the Xiongnu cavalry felt restricted the moment they clashed with the Divine Martial Guard. The tactics that they were proud of were like child's play before the Divine Martial Guard.
In terms of horsemanship, the Divine Martial Guard wasn't inferior.
In terms of archery, although they weren't as good as the Xiongnu, the Divine Crossbow that the Divine Martial Guard was equipped with was a powerful weapon that was superior to the bows and arrows of the Xiongnu.
In terms of equipment, they couldn't be compared.
The Radiant Armor that the Divine Martial Guard was equipped with was designed by the Great Tang Empire to deal with the Turkic cavalry in the north. Even the valiant Turks were defeated by the Radiant Armor.
Not to mention the Xiongnu.
Their bows and arrows were far inferior to the bows of the Turkic. Facing the Radiant Armor that was designed to defend against bows and arrows, the Xiongnu were so frustrated that they wanted to vomit blood.
Even so, this battle was still very intense.
The Xiongnu were still the Xiongnu.
No matter what their opponents were, their savagery and bloodthirstiness would never fade. Furthermore, they had the advantage in numbers. The ferocious Xiongnu caused great damage to the Divine Martial Guard.
Both sides fought to the death, and even the sky changed color.
As time passed, the balance of the battle finally tilted towards the Divine Martial Guard.
The arrogant Xiongnu cavalry tasted the bitter fruit of underestimating their enemy.
If they knew that they were facing such an opponent, they wouldn't have attacked recklessly.
The origin of this Xiongnu cavalry wasn't glorious at all.
It wasn't a coincidence that they passed by this place. They were the remnants of the troops that had retreated from the battlefield.
The one who defeated them was the genius general that streaked across the sky like a comet — Huo Qubing.
Four days ago, Huo Qubing led his troops and led the captured Xiongnu as the vanguard to open a path for the Han army. They crossed the vast desert, crossed the river, and captured Chanyu Minister Zhang Qu alive. They killed King Beiche and attacked the Left General Shuang, capturing the enemy's flag and war drum.
This battle was earth-shattering and shocking.
The Xiongnu people were beaten until they were dizzy and disoriented, and they were in a constant state of anxiety.
Huo Qubing's name spread throughout the plains. This young general was like a huge shadow that loomed over the Xiongnu. The ferocious Xiongnu felt suffocated.
There were even rumors that Huo Qubing was sent by the gods to punish the Xiongnu.
A few days ago, Huo Qubing led his troops on another journey.
These Xiongnu cavalry were the subordinates of King Beiche who was defeated by Huo Qubing. They took the opportunity to escape from the battlefield.
They didn't expect to encounter the Divine Martial Guards.
The Xiongnu had suffered under Huo Qubing's hands. How could they let the Han army go when they encountered them again?
They thought that the demon Huo Qubing had already left. The Han army following behind them must be the reserve troops. There was no need to worry about them. It was a good opportunity to get rid of them to vent their anger.
How could they have known that Huo Jinyao would be a tough nut to crack compared to the Psychiatry Department?
The commander of the Xiongnu cavalry was on the verge of tears.
"Since when did the Han Army's cavalry become so powerful?"
First, there was the God of Slaughter, Huo Qubing. Not to mention that, why were the rear troops so ferocious as well?
The commander of the Xiongnu cavalry was a little depressed.
He couldn't help but feel worried for the future of his tribe.
The Han army, which was once at their mercy, had truly grown stronger! The days when the Xiongnu lived a free and unfettered life, wantonly plundering the Han people were gone forever.
Before sunset, the four thousand Xiongnu cavalry were completely defeated.
In this battle, they killed more than three thousand people. The rest of the Xiongnu cavalry chose to surrender.
The bravery of the Divine Martial Guards made the commander of the Xiongnu cavalry lose the courage to resist. To him, this was fate. It wasn't something that could be changed.
Of course, the Xiongnu also made the Divine Martial Guards pay a heavy price.
Eight hundred Divine Martial Guards were buried in the grassland.
After three battles, more than half of the three thousand Divine Martial Guards were gone.
War was so cruel.
Fortunately, this was a battle map.
After a soldier died in battle, the lord could use the contribution points to revive the fallen soldier.
Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo would have a hard time dealing with the heavy casualties of the Divine Martial Guards.
The problem was that he had to wait until the battle was over to revive the soldiers.
Thus, Ouyang Shuo could only rely on less than 1,500 Divine Martial Guards for the upcoming battle.
He thought about the dangers along the way.
For the first time, Ouyang Shuo felt a little lost.
With such an intensive test, Gaia was trying to drive them, the Overlords, to a dead end.
Ouyang Shuo was sure that it wasn't a coincidence that they encountered the Xiongnu cavalry.
He just didn't know how the other two troops of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas were doing.
The situation was urgent when they broke out.
Ouyang Shuo didn't have time to observe carefully to see if they had successfully broken out.
Did they encounter similar Xiongnu cavalry after breaking out?
Given the current situation, they could only fight for themselves.
When night fell, Ouyang Shuo gave the order to set up camp. He could also use the night to interrogate the surrendered Xiongnu cavalry.
Apart from worrying about the future, Ouyang Shuo was most concerned about where Huo Yuhao was.
