"How could this be?"
"Why?"
"Why would the Guanlong Army come to the grasslands? Could they have been prepared? How could the massacre in Taiyuan City have ended so quickly? "
Chanyu Hudu sat weakly on the altar. His face was stiff and filled with indescribable despair.
His original plan was that the Guanlong Army would not be able to react in time.
After all, he had only sent out thirty thousand cavalrymen at the fastest speed and the slightest movement. According to his previous inquiries, there seemed to be something going on in the Guanlong Army.
The Guanlong Army could not have reacted so quickly.
They would have had to wait until the next morning for the Guanlong Army to receive the news. Then, they would have led their men to Taiyuan City to save the city that had become a ghost town.
By then, the massacre would have ended and the grassland cavalrymen would have returned to the grasslands from the Datong Road on the side of Taiyuan City according to their original plan.
However, Chanyu Hudu did not expect that none of this would happen.
The thirty thousand elite grassland cavalrymen had been wiped out by the rapid march of the Guanlong Army. Although Taiyuan City looked like it was littered with corpses, it was not damaged at all.
It would recover soon.
This was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that the Guanlong Army had already reached the grasslands and was approaching the Golden Tent of the Imperial Court.
This was too unbelievable.
"The Guanlong Army is here?"
"How is this possible?"
"How did they know about our plan on the grasslands?"
Chanyu Hudu's reaction was similar to that of the tribal leaders on the grasslands. They were also shocked, terrified, and even in despair. They were all panicking and did not know what to do.
They had thought that the grasslands would give the Guanlong Army, Taiyuan City, and the Great Zhou Dynasty a feast of blood and slaughter. They had not expected that things would suddenly change.
The three thousand elite cavalrymen who had been sent to massacre the grasslands had all disappeared in an instant. Then, while the people on the grasslands were lowering their guard, the Guanlong Army's main force of more than a hundred thousand soldiers had charged into the grasslands.
They were even approaching the Golden Tent of the Imperial Court.
This was a dream-like scene.
It was also extremely terrifying.
"Chanyu, please give the order to retreat quickly!"
"Chanyu, retreat quickly!"
After a brief moment of silence, the tribal chiefs below the altar began to beg loudly. The fighting strength of the Guanlong Army was not that weak.
Over the years, the grassland cavalry and the Guanlong army had fought many times. They had gradually felt the pressure that the Guanlong cavalry brought to them. In this situation, the Guanlong cavalry came aggressively, but the grassland cavalry was not ready.
Moreover, the grassland was still holding a grand event.
As a result, a portion of the cavalrymen were enjoying the feast and were not in battle mode at all.
Like this, the disparity in strength between the two sides was even more obvious. Under such circumstances, the grassland cavalry was unable to stop the surging Guan Long cavalry.
If the grassland cavalrymen were to fight recklessly, they would definitely end up in a sorry state.
Therefore, he had to run for his life.
It didn't matter if they lost these cavalries or the people here. As long as they could keep the bloodline of the Golden Tent of the Royal Court, these grassland tribes, and their leaders, that would be enough.
Only in this way could the grasslands continue to exist.
Therefore, Hudu Chanyu and the other leaders of the grassland had to retreat.
Retreat as fast as possible.
"Yes, we have to retreat!"
After hearing the reminder from the people below, Chanyu, who was still in a trance, finally recovered from his panic and paralysis. His eyes widened abruptly as he stood up from the altar.
Then, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Men, quickly pack up all the useful things in the Golden Tent of the Royal Court and retreat."
"In addition, pass down the order to gather all the soldiers around the Golden Tent of the Royal Court and stop the Guanlong Army as fast as possible."
"Stop the Guanlong Army at all costs."
"Buy us time to escape!"
Hudu Chanyu knew what this meant at this moment. He also knew that if they did not escape, they would bring a terrible disaster to themselves. Therefore, he gave the order.
He wanted the grassland cavalrymen, who were originally guarding the Golden Tent of the Royal Court, to buy a way out for themselves.
"Yes!"
When the generals below heard Hudu Chanyu's order, their faces turned grave. They knew what this order meant. They were not afraid, nor were they terrified. They were determined to fight with their lives on the line.
When they first became guards of the Golden Tent of the Royal Court, they already knew that their lives no longer belonged to them. If the Golden Tent of the Royal Court encountered a life-and-death crisis one day, they would have to use their lives to buy time for the people in the Golden Tent of the Royal Court to escape.
This was their mission.
Therefore, when they heard this order, they immediately knew the outcome.
Their generals stood up one by one, their faces filled with determination. Then, they quickly retreated.
At the same time, the remaining attendants and guards began to frantically pack up all the things in the Golden Tent of the Royal Court. They knew that they had to escape with Hudu Chanyu.
They had to escape to the depths of the grassland, where there were grassland tribes and people who had submitted to the Golden Tent of the Royal Court of the Grassland. Although those places were barren, they would not starve to death as long as they escaped.
However, in the process of escaping, they would need a lot of food and the leaders. Hudu Chanyu also needed a lot of people to serve him, as well as some tokens that symbolized the Golden Tent of the Royal Court.
These were the most fundamental things of the grassland. They had to be taken away.
Crash!
Very quickly, these guards had already rushed into the Golden Tent of the Royal Court.
The women who were originally in charge of serving Hudu Chanyu, the maids, and the slaves they had captured did not know what was going on. They were all terrified.
These guards began to quickly search for the most important tokens.
Hudu Chanyu and the other leaders of the grassland quickly gathered together. Then, under the leadership and accompaniment of other generals, they began to prepare to escape from the Golden Tent of the Royal Court.
All of this happened so suddenly.
They fled in such panic and fear that they had almost completely become stray dogs.
Their clothes were disheveled, their faces pale, their eyes glazed over, and they were all panicking.
They had even given up on their wives and children. Now, they only wanted to escape and save their own lives.
Because they all knew.
The Guanlong Army's temperament.
Now, even if Taiyuan City had not suffered a real blow, after the massacre that day, it was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Since the Guanlong Army had come, it was impossible for them to be benevolent and righteous.
They would charge over, just like how the grassland cavalry treated the people of Taiyuan City. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a blood for blood.
They wanted to slaughter the entire grassland.
Therefore, they had to do their best to escape and not give the Guanlong Cavalry any chance to catch them.
Neigh!
Neigh! Neigh! Neigh! The tribal leaders of the grassland, their Chanyu Hudu, Morton, and the others were already galloping away under the escort of about a hundred grassland cavalrymen.
They were in such a sorry state that they looked like stray dogs.
As they left, the celebratory scene near the Golden Tent of the Royal Court completely disappeared and turned into complete chaos.
Almost everyone began to flee in all directions without caring about anything else.
The entire Golden Tent of the Royal Court instantly turned into a mess.
…
At this moment, about two to three kilometers away from the Golden Tent of the Royal Court, the Guanlong Army's cavalry had already appeared on this dark land.
They had already arrived near the Golden Tent of the Royal Court and no longer needed to hide themselves. They all raised their torches and the flames burned. Not only did they illuminate the path ahead, but they also brought a terrifying and ferocious sense of oppression to the grassland.
It was like a towering dragon, rolling and roaring as it came.
It tore the world apart.
Then, it looked like it was about to tear the grassland apart.
At the forefront of this fire dragon was a Guanlong Army cavalry general. He was about forty years old, and his face was filled with intense anger, ferocity, and even hatred.
His eyes had already turned scarlet.
Because his relatives, friends, and even his entire family were in Taiyuan City.
When he was about to set off, he heard the news from the guards at home. Although his home was guarded by guards, it was also affected by the grassland cavalry's massacre.
Out of the three children, two were killed. The remaining one had an arm chopped off in the process of organizing the resistance. As for the veterans in the family, most of them were either dead or injured.
When he heard the news, the cavalry general was already burning with anger.
He even went crazy.
His home could be considered to have been destroyed.
His children were also destroyed.
His veterans and fellow soldiers who had fought with him for life and death were all killed.
How great was this blood feud?
This was a monstrous anger.
He couldn't control himself at all. He immediately applied to be the first batch of cavalry to come to the grassland. He wanted to be the first person to brandish a butcher's knife to the grassland people.
He wanted to avenge his home, his family, his children, and his fellow veterans!
Rumble!
While the cavalry general was roaring madly in his heart, a violent sound of horse hooves came from the front. The sound of horse hooves was somewhat chaotic, but it was also quite shocking.
It was the Imperial Court's military counselors on the grassland.
They were the cavalry in charge of protecting the Imperial Court's Golden Tent. There were ten thousand of them.
They were the elites of the elites.
They had split into two groups and were rushing over at lightning speed. Moreover, their speed was increasing rapidly.
They wanted to stop the cavalry's momentum.
"You want to stop us?"
"Dream on!"
"Pass my order to the brothers behind us. Split up in the middle and don't clash with the Imperial Court's military counselors. Let them pass through us and clash with the heavy cavalry behind us!"
"Let's go straight to the Imperial Court's Golden Tent and have a bloody feast before their people run too far!"
"Turn the Imperial Court's Golden Tent upside down!"
The cavalry general's gaze swept across the vast expanse in front of him and roared loudly.
The purpose of his rapid march was to slaughter. He wanted to kill the tribal leaders and important figures in the Imperial Court's Golden Tent, not to deal with the Imperial Court's military counselors.
Therefore, he wanted to avoid the brunt of the attack!
He wanted to go straight to the core and attack the root of the problem.
Anyway, he didn't need to worry. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of Guanlong Middle Army behind. No, these people would be able to crush the Imperial Court's military counselors into minced meat without any effort.
This wasn't his business.
Today's mission was to slaughter!
"Yes!"
When the numerous cavalrymen heard the commander's words, a dense and ferocious expression appeared on their faces. They widened their eyes in a frenzy.
Then, they pulled out the long sabers at their waists and clamped down hard on their warhorses.
Neigh!
Almost at the same time, all the warhorses let out a violent and violent neigh, then quickly split to the sides.
Whoosh!
Just like that, this group of towering and vast Fire Dragons was forcefully split into two halves from the middle, and then a huge tunnel was formed in the middle.
This passage was right for the Imperial Court's military counselors who were roaring from the Imperial Court's Golden Tent. They were like a sharpened saber, trying to split the fire dragon apart.
However, the fire dragon split on its own.
They didn't encounter any obstacles at all.
"Damn it!"
"These bastards!"
"Noff!"
"They want to kill the people of the grasslands directly!"
"Ah …"
When the Imperial Court's military counselors saw this scene, a sinister and ferocious expression appeared on their faces, especially the generals of the Imperial Court's military counselors.
Each and every one of them roared angrily.
They were about to go crazy.
In this way, they were completely useless. It was as if they were leading a troop of cavalry around the grasslands and did nothing.
And the Imperial Court's Golden Tent that they wanted to protect, as well as the people, still fell into the hands of the Guanlong Cavalry. They fell under the butcher's knife!
However, even though they knew this, they couldn't stop or change their direction.
This was because the troop of cavalry was too long.
Moreover, they belonged to different generals.
It was too late for them to coordinate with each other.
If they forcefully changed their direction, it would definitely cause more chaos. They would be in chaos even before the battle with the Guanlong Cavalry.
Therefore, they could only watch as the enemy killed their way into the Imperial Court's Golden Tent.
"Ah …"
"Damn it …"
Their roars were mixed with endless sorrow and hatred.
