When the steppe people once again surged up fearlessly, they were met by the Qin army’s resistance that went to their deaths with vigour.
Of course to die but not looking for death.
All the Qin army used all their own means, just to kill one more enemy, so that their comrades can be one less enemy.
“Die!”
The general sidestepped and dodged a steppe man’s bone blade slash, then extremely dryly stabbed the Qin sword in his hand into the opponent’s chest.
Just as he was about to pull it out, the steppe man hissed like a wild beast, then grabbed the sword in a death grip.
He had already fought for many hours and was a bit tired, and he actually couldn’t pull it out for a while.
But at this moment, there was already a prairie man’s weapon hacking over on the other side!
Instead of panicking, the general twisted his body once again and used the thickest part of his armour to harden against the other side’s attack.
The sword in his hand also finally built up the strength to pull it out, and backhandedly stabbed the man to death again.
His own guards were long gone to where they were more needed.
Whether or not there were any personal guards now, it no longer mattered to him.
After panting for a while, the general once again gripped the already chipped Qin Sword in his hand and prepared to kill towards the enemy army that could not be seen to the end!
Right at this moment.
A breaking sound suddenly rang out from behind him.
The general looked back with some surprise, only to see that their rear had been filled with grasslanders at some unknown time.
At this moment, countless grasslanders were bending their bows to shoot!
Buzzing!
The arrows fell like a sudden rain.
“Kill the enemy!”
The general roared angrily!
But almost instantly, his entire body was covered in arrows, and his armour, as strong as it was, could not protect his entire body.
The general slowly fell backwards, just long arrows, supported on the ground full of corpses.
Yet, it made him stand steadily.
The battle continued, but the pass had fallen.
It was not until evening that Bolden stepped into the bloodstained pass and looked at the masonry and wooden buildings before him.
Finally, revealing a smile that
From now on, these things, too, were his.
Just not waiting for him to feel much emotion, the leaders of the Yue Clan and the Qiang people, already with extremely ugly faces, came before him.
Bolden took the initiative to reveal a smile at this time and said.
“It’s been hard on the two of you.”
In this attack on the Pass, his own Hun cavalry barely suffered any losses.
Hearing this, the chiefs of the Yuezhi and the Qiang did not look the least bit better, but returned sullenly with
“Shan Yu, our two tribes have suffered heavy losses and are no longer capable of marching, we just want to hold this place for you and grab some more women, supplies that is.”
They themselves didn’t expect that this siege, the losses would actually be so heavy.
The losses that these thousands of Qin troops had inflicted on them were far too great than what they had suffered before in the frontal battlefield.
If it was before was, one cavalry could replace close to two Qin troops.
Then now it was, two… No, it was more than three cavalrymen to exchange one Qin army.
That’s a huge difference!
Thinking about this Qin territory, there are countless other cities, if every city is like this.
It would be impossible for them to occupy Qin even if all their people died.
Now that their lair has been destroyed by the Qin, all they want to do is loot some women and supplies and go back to the grasslands to rebuild their tribe.
When Bolden heard the words of the two men, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, these people would only retreat when they encountered difficulties, it was difficult to achieve great things.
But this is good, now the pass is in his hands, let these people guard here is good.
Of course, it is also necessary to send someone to give watch.
Quickly said.
“Well, if that’s the case, then listen to the two chiefs.”
“I’ll leave this place to you, and a few of my sons will assist you from the sidelines.”
Hearing this, the two of them also knew that the other party did not feel comfortable with them, but they could not refuse, and could only say back, and
“Many thanks Shan Yu.”
Only then did Boldon nod his head and said.
“By the way, send over the prisoners from the army, this Shan Yu wants to ask them something.”
The two chieftains hesitated for a moment, and quickly said.
“Shan Yu, there are no prisoners.”
Bolden froze directly and quickly frowned, saying that
“Not a single one?”
The two men shook their heads in unison and returned that
“Not a single one!”
Hearing these words, Bolden’s face instantly became a little more grave as he realised that this battle might not be as easy as he thought.
At this moment, within the Great Wall, within a hidden Qin army camp around Mount Baideng, countless messengers were travelling to and from it.
Inside the biggest tent, Zhao Lang was looking at the news from all over the world with a serious look on his face.
“Has Han Xin arrived at the set position?”
“Arrived, ready to engage the Huns at any time.”
“Where is General Meng now?”
“The party has been informed that it is already in the rear and ready to counterattack.”
“Have the counties been notified?”
“All have been notified, it’s just that the countryside is vast and it’s impossible to organise for everyone to enter the city.”
“…”
The tent had been extremely fast and tense, and it was only when the sky was almost dark that the tension eased a little.
“Master, rest for a while first.”
Nu poured a cup of water at this time and said with a few hoarseness.
He was also extremely tired from following the handling of things.
Zhao Lang nodded and took a sip of water, then said.
“You also go take a break.”
Nu revealed a smile and said back that
“Thank you master, slave is not tired.”
Zhao Lang said blandly that
“If you’re a human being, you’ll be tired, after this time, you’ll also go and claim a position, otherwise the people below won’t have a title for you.”
Hearing this, Nu couldn’t help but show a hint of excitement in his complexion, but on his lips, he still said.
“Nu only wants to serve by master’s side, none of this matters.”
Zhao Lang looked at the other party without a good look and said back.
“Alright, if you really want to think that way, I’ll let Uncle Zhao help you, and you’ll be able to go to the harem in the future.”
Nu was instantly stunned and said dryly.
“Master, Nu doesn’t have a harem yet.”
Zhao Lang waved his hand and said.
“Roll.”
Only then did the slave smile and prepare to go out, just then, a valet walked in with a serious look and reported.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, the frontline has reported that the Huns have breached the pass.”
“And… The son of the guardian of the pass has arrived at the tent, saying that he has a letter to give to you, do you want to see it?”
Hearing this news, Zhao Lang wasn’t surprised, only his complexion couldn’t help but dim for a moment.
This one pass was the one he had deliberately left broken, and it was also the one he had ordered the guardian to defend to the death.
It could be said that he was the one who single-handedly sent these people away.
Nu looked at Zhao Lang and quickly said.
“Master, it’s also late now, why don’t we let them go first…”
Zhao Lang raised his hand to stop the other party and said indifferently that
“Let him come in.”
There were some things that he did and had to face.
There had to be an explanation.
The Guardian had carried out his orders, and he couldn’t run away from them in front of the other man’s son.
