"Although there are not many defenders of Wuchao City, it is personally commanded by the Golden Melon Heavenly God, and it is not so easy for the Huns to capture Wuchao City."

Although General Lu said that it was okay, his face was worried.

The garrison of Wuchao City was less than 40,000, and among them, it also included all kinds of miscellaneous servants and civilian soldiers, and the real combatants were at best 20,000.

20,000 defenders against hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu elites, the pressure can be imagined.

Just when General Lu was worried, the sky was about to break, and the mighty carriage was already heading towards the Jiudao Turning Barracks in the morning light.

Zhou Sen had been silent, he was thinking, and he also thought of what General Lu was worried about.

Judging from the current situation, the Hun cavalry that went deep into Wuchao City had pinned down at least two barracks, and the only Maple Forest barracks that had not been harassed should not dare to act rashly, for fear of a sneak attack by the Huns.

The mobility of the Hun cavalry is extremely good, and the city of Wuchao is close to the dark forest, the terrain is complex, in order to facilitate transportation, the traffic is extended in all directions, if you want to destroy those cavalry that are broken into pieces in a short time, it is definitely not possible to do it in a short time.

Judging from the current situation, it will take some time for the three barracks to rush to the aid of Wuchao City, ranging from ten days and a half months to several months.

Zhou Sen guessed that after the Hun cavalry who attacked the Jiudaogui barracks wreaked havoc, they should have evacuated long ago, after all, the Jiudaogui barracks is just a barracks, it is not like Wuchao City that can be defended, Moreover, the biggest advantage of the Hun cavalry is mobility, and their number is not enough to occupy the huge barracks of Jiudaogui, in the face of the continuous rush of imperial troops, they will definitely use the speed to leave, and then use the mobility of the cavalry to harass and destroy the territory of Wuchao City, creating a tense atmosphere......

……

No way!

At this time, there is no point in going to the Jiudaogui Barracks.

A hundred people, although they are good, but there are no heavy weapons, no backup, no supplies, no war horses, if they rush to the Jiudaogui area, they will not be able to play a fundamental role, in case of a short encounter with the Hun cavalry who have the determination to fight against the water, it will only be sent to death.

Zhou Sen stopped the convoy, and everyone gathered to discuss.

"It doesn't make any sense for us to rush to Jiudaogui now." Zhou Sen said his thoughts.

"Where are we going, then? Why don't we go directly to Wuchao City to help? Xiao Yat said.

"Yes, we can go directly to Wuchao City to help." Cai Ping immediately agreed, after all, he was a border guard in Wuchao City.

"Well, it's better to rush to the aid of Wuchao City than to rush to the aid of the Nine Dao Crutch Barracks...... But...... I always feel like something is wrong there......" Zhou Sen frowned.

"Zhou Sen, I know why you feel wrong." The mad Taoist touched his beard, looking resourceful.

"Huh?"

"If things are really as you said, then, the Huns will arrange a large number of rangers to guard the main road to Wuchao City, their war horses are extremely fast, galloping, and they are good at riding and shooting, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult for us to avoid those rangers unconsciously to intercept them......

"How many rangers of the Huns are usually in a group?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Usually thirty people, thirty people, at least five longbowmen, they are good at long-range sniping. In addition to the five longbowmen, most of them will also arrange a gongshu, which is responsible for reconnaissance and melee combat to avoid falling into a siege, and as for the rest, they are all proficient in the art of mounted archery, and can use a horned bow to fire arrows. When we patrol outside Wuchao City, we will be equipped with giant shields, leather armor and bows, and a patrol team must have at least two strong men to follow...... "Cai Ping has been stationed at the border for a long time and knows the tactics of the Huns very well.

"Thirty ......"

Zhou Sen smiled bitterly, if the Huns were divided into groups of thirty people, then, on the main road leading to Wuchao City, the rangers in groups of thirty people would have at least more than fifty branches, and it would be impossible for them to rush to Wuchao City without knowing that they were not warhorses.

Now, everyone has arrows, armor, and giant shields, but there are no war horses.

A soldier without a horse is a tiger without teeth.

Although these 100 people are all elites in Wuchao City, if they want to face the fierce Hun cavalry on foot, even if they win, they will have to pay a great price, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It is conceivable that after the thirty-man rangers met them, they first sniped at a distance by longbowmen, and then, after dozens of people approached, there was a burst of horned bows scattered, and the stormy iron hoof charge followed, and the hundred-man squad was estimated to collapse at the touch of a button......

Zhou Sen once went deep into the prairie, although he did not see the Hun war, but he saw with his own eyes that the Huns' arrow art was extremely popular, almost everyone was a master of riding and archery, although their arrow art was not a real arrow art, but its archery skills were also extremely difficult.

Theoretically, Zhou Sen's archery skills can easily shoot thirty people, but that is only a theoretical existence, because those thirty people are rangers, their position will keep moving, they encounter a strong enemy, they will immediately flee away, and will not entangle, Zhou Sen is impossible to pursue thirty Huns on horseback in all directions.

In addition, the other students could not reach Zhou Sen's speed, if Zhou Sen chased the Hun rangers, then, it was bound to be separated from the students, and the students would be exposed to the sharp arrows of the rangers, after all, there was not only one ranger......

After thinking about it, everyone couldn't come up with a complete solution.

It would be nice to get some Hun horses......

Hun horses!

Hun horses!

Suddenly, a crazy idea could not be restrained in Zhou Sen's brain, like a vine after the rain.

Fight in enemy rear!

"Since the Huns can cross the dark forest and enter the hinterland of Wuchao City, then we can also cross the dark forest and enter the prairie." Zhou Sen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said word by word. At this moment, Zhou Sen thought of Hou Huo, the champion of the ancient earth, who was the god of war who shook the past and the present.

There was a moment of silence.

Suffocating silence.

The faces of the elite students were endlessly fanatical, and everyone was excited by Zhou Sen's crazy thoughts.

"We don't have a war horse...... Cai Ping was the first to calm down.

"We can rob the good horses of the steppe, as many as the stars in the sky!" The mad Taoist priest was excited because of his red face, and his eyes shot a heart palpitating light.

"We don't have food, we ...... supplies," Cai Ping hesitated.

"We can grab it!" This time, it was Xiao Yat who spoke.

"But ......"

"Yes, we have no horses, no food, no supplies, and even no backup, but what are we worried about? There are no war horses, and there are many good horses among the herdsmen, and their horses are born war horses. We don't have food, and in the steppe, will we be short of food? Herds of cattle and sheep are at our disposal! As for reinforcements, well, that's a problem, but, is it really a problem? We don't have a goal, we burn and loot on the steppe, we don't need reinforcements at all, it's better without reinforcements, we don't have to worry about the future......"

"Yes! We have no worries, and we have nothing to worry about, it's a big deal to stain the yellow sand with blood and a horse leather shroud! Cai Ping clenched his teeth and said viciously.

"No, we don't need a Horse Leather Shroud!"

"......" Everyone was stunned.

"The military song should sing the big sword ring, swearing to destroy the Huns out of the border pass. Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned! Zhou Sen climbed onto the roof of the canopy, summoned out a thick-backed long knife, and sang loudly.

"Yes, why do you need to return the Horse Leather Shroud!"

"Why do you need to return the Horse Leather Shroud!"

"Why do you need to return the Horse Leather Shroud!"

……

Everyone sang loudly, blood was boiling in the veins, and morale was high.

Zhou Sen stood on the roof of the car, holding a thick-backed long knife in his hand, looking up at the white of the fish belly in the sky, his long hair flying in the morning breeze, and the standard black armor of the Han Empire shimmering with a palpitating metallic luster in the morning light.

The caravan was abandoned.

The food weapon was stuffed into Zhou Sen's two Qiankun rings until it couldn't be stuffed.

The cadets took off their thick armor and replaced it with light armor.

Under the morning light, a hundred elite students of Wuchao City marched towards the dense forest, except for the sound of footsteps and the impact of armor, no one made a sound, and everyone's face was extremely fanatical.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Sen became the spiritual leader of everyone.

In fact, it is natural for Zhou Sen to be the leader, because he has already passed the test of the big three-star combat value, and if General Lu's promise is fulfilled, Zhou Sen should actually get the big four-star combat value badge.

No one questioned Zhou Sen's ability, because everyone here had seen Zhou Sen's destruction of the Shanggu Iron Tablet and the Ten Elephant Iron Tablet with their own eyes, and the thrilling battle intent was also terrifying when they thought about it now.

Looking for shortcuts along the way, I saw countless villages and towns that had been burned and looted, many houses were still burning, or billowing smoke, and everywhere the people of the Han Empire dragged their children and daughters to avoid the Hun rangers, which was unbearable.

Along the way, they also encountered countless soldiers of the Han Empire who were scattered by the rangers, most of them lost their armor and were disheveled, and in their eyes, they were frightened and frightened, and they had no intention of fighting.

By the time dawn came, everyone had reached the edge of the Dark Forest, which was already inhabited.

"Brothers, this battle is extraordinary, and perhaps we can write history, so each of us must do it, think of discipline when we are in danger, be silent when we need to be quiet, and be loud when we need to cheer! We must keep in mind that individual negligence can lead to the danger of the whole army, and individual efforts also contribute to the success of all. ”

Hundreds of people were neatly arranged, without the slightest sound, and on every face, there was firmness and courage.

"We are students of Whampoa, and we can't disgrace Whampoa. Similarly, we are the elite of Wuchao City, and we can't afford to disgrace Wuchao City. We are also strong, invincible and invincible, and we cannot disgrace the strong......"

When he was about to enter the dark forest, Zhou Sen gathered everyone and made the final mobilization, and at the same time, reminded everyone to pay attention to some safety matters.

The crowd had eaten and drunk enough and began to march towards the Dark Forest with all their might.

From the dark forest in the hinterland of Wuchao City to the prairie, even if it is the nearest shortcut, the distance is at least more than three hundred miles, plus the lofty mountains, the road is dangerous, and there are fierce demon beasts peeping, even if it is a day and night march, it will take at least three days.

Three days!

It was an extremely difficult three days for the trainees.

In fact, in the past three days, they haven't even seen a decent demon beast, and their hardships come from mosquito bites and dense layers of thorns.

It is also easy to lose your sense of direction when a large tree that shades the sky and the sun.

Fortunately, in this group of elite soldiers, there are many people who are good at field warfare, and they have rich experience in survival in the wild.

During these three days, Zhou Sen went from being the default leader of the soldiers to becoming the real leader.

When every elite student looked at Zhou Sen, there was incomparably fanaticism in their eyes.

Zhou Sen's strong body conquered everyone.

Since the first day, Zhou Sen has been at the forefront, he is like a machine that doesn't know tiredness, the heavy thick-backed long knife has cut through thorns and thorns all the way, opening a small path for everyone.

During the short break, Zhou Sen took on his guard duties.

It wasn't until the third day when they encountered a high-level demon beast that people understood why they hadn't encountered the legendary fierce demon beast of the Dark Forest along the way.

It was a three-eyed armored bear.

In the dark forest, the three-eyed armored bear is definitely a terrifying existence, even if it is a huge and savage monster like the red bull, it must be avoided when encountering the three-eyed armored bear, it is said that it can tear the red bull weighing several tons, and it is covered with a thick layer of resin, which can resist the frontal charge of the red bull, and its strength and resistance to blows are breathtaking.

The sun shines into the trees, casting dappled light and shadow.

When people walked out of the thick grass to an open space, they immediately saw the three-eyed armored bear that was several feet tall.

When Zhou Sen and the others broke into the territory of the Three-Eyed Armored Bear, it was still sleeping under a huge tree, and its huge body was like a mountain, which made people feel an inexplicable sense of fear.

The moment the people's bodies froze, the sleeping three-eyed armored bear also opened its three red and hideous eyes, and it was obvious that it felt the invasion of outsiders.

The three-eyed armored bear looked very unhappy that others had harassed its sleepiness, and after opening its eyes, it suddenly slammed its palm on the giant tree beside it, and there was a muffled sound of "Peng", and the giant tree was actually hit by it with a palm through a hole, and the broken wood shot like locusts, and the leaves in the sky fell one after another, and the momentum was terrifying.

Looking at the behemoth, the soldiers felt a chill down their backs, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

This guy was so big that he stood up to two people tall, and his huge body and thick limbs made it clear at a glance that it contained extremely terrifying power. The most terrifying thing was that the three-eyed armored bear was covered with a thick layer of resin, like a hard armor, and the sword and bow could not hurt it at all.

Even if it is a superpower person as powerful as Hao Yunyao, in the face of such a fierce demon beast, he must retreat.

What is strange is that the three-eyed armored bear, which is known for its ferocity, does not take the initiative to attack them, but dances with its hands, and its three hideous eyes stared at everyone viciously, and the meaning of intimidation is even more obvious.

"Let's take a detour!" Brother Fu cautiously proposed.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Sen.

"No, there are more powerful demon beasts in this dark forest than the three-eyed armored bear, if we encounter demon beasts and avoid them, then I don't know when and what month we will be able to enter the prairie. Wait, I'll get rid of it. ”

Zhou Sen motioned for everyone to step back, holding the long knife in his hand, and strode towards the three-eyed armored bear under the worried gaze of everyone.

What makes people feel strange is that after seeing Zhou Sen approaching, the three-eyed armored bear actually leaned its huge body against the trunk of the tree a little nervously, as if he wanted to find something to rely on to gain a sense of security.

"I have something to do today, I don't have time to entangle with you, if you can understand me, get out immediately, as far as you can, otherwise, Lao Tzu will cut off your bear head and feed it to the dogs, peel off your bear skin to make a hat, take your bear bile as medicine, and eat your bear meat to satisfy your hunger!"

Zhou Sen walked to the place where the three-eyed armored bear was less than three feet, pointed at the three-eyed armored bear and said loudly, causing a group of soldiers to be stunned for a moment.

If this can scare away a three-eyed bear, then the three-eyed bear is not the notorious three-eyed bear.

"Roaring ......"

I don't know if the three-eyed armored bear understood Zhou Sen's words, but Zhou Sen, who was approaching, was enraged, and suddenly stood up straight and let out an earth-shattering roar.

"Grandma's, it turned out to be a stupid bear who couldn't understand people's words, okay, I'll delay a little time today and kill you to drink for your brothers!"

Zhou Sen suddenly let out a long howl, and the howl went straight through the sky.

The violent battle intent was rolling and surging in the forest, and the thick-backed long knife of the main killer exuded an incomparable ferocious aura under the urging of Zhou Sen's battle intent, and the soldiers who stood dozens of feet behind Zhou Sen retreated again and again, frightened.

Compared with when he destroyed the Ten Elephant Iron Monument, Zhou Sen seemed to have gone one step further, and the surging battle intent was surging and boiling like a flood, pervasive.

An incredible scene occurred.

Among the three hideous eyes of the three-eyed armored bear, there was a look of fear, and the huge body actually moved behind little by little by grazing the trunk of the tree.

"Get out!"

Zhou Sen suddenly shouted, and the long knife shook, as if a hurricane swept by.

A shocking scene reappeared.

The huge three-eyed armored bear actually hugged his head and ran away, only to hear a sound of the tree trunk breaking "crackling", and in the blink of an eye, the fierce three-eyed armored bear had disappeared without a trace, only the faint sound of running wildly and breaking the tree trunk was heard in the distance......

……

People looked at Zhou Sen with a dull expression, as if they were looking at a monster.

It is unheard of that a three-eyed armored bear can be repelled by intimidation alone. The only explanation is that the three-eyed armored bear knew that he was invincible to Zhou Sen, so he fled.

At this time, people suddenly realized.

It's no wonder that he didn't encounter demon beasts along the way, all because he was scared away by Zhou Sen's fierce and invincible battle intent......

……

"Ahem...... I have dealt with them a lot, and I know that they are afraid of being weak...... Hehe......" Seeing everyone staring at him dumbfounded, Zhou Sen was a little embarrassed.

"Boss, I obey you, from now on, I will follow you!" The mad Taoist priest looked at Zhou Sen with a fanatical expression.

“…… I don't like men. ”

"Bah, I don't like men either." The mad Taoist priest looked disdainful.

"Haha......"

"Hahaha......"

……

People burst into laughter, and the tension was swept away.

At this time, people seemed to see the dawn of victory.

Zhou Sen did not waste time, and after a short rest, he immediately marched in a hurry. Now, time is of the essence, and we must rush to the rear of the Xiongnu before the fall of Wuchao City.

At this time, the Huns, the masters poured out of the nest, and they were the weakest time!

During the march, a secret passage was discovered.

It is said that it is a secret road because this road is extremely hidden and deliberately camouflaged, if it is not for Cai Ping to find out that there is horse manure, at most he just thinks that this is just a road for wild beasts to walk.

After careful observation, it was determined that this secret passage was the passage for the Hun cavalry to pass through the dark forest.

Everyone followed the secret path towards the grassland, along the way, saw countless stinky horse bones and heavy human bones, discarded armor and weapons are countless, from the scars of those skeletons can be seen, are caused by the attack and death of demon beasts, it is obvious that the Huns in forcing through the dark forest to pay the price is also extremely heavy.

Judging by the time when the skeletons stinked, as early as a month ago, the Huns had already begun to penetrate deep into the Dark Forest Dynasty.

In less than twenty kilometers, at least a hundred human skeletons have been found.

Judging by this distance, the death toll of the Huns in order to cross the dark forest is estimated to be more than 2,000.

A group of Han Empires were surprised and secretly frightened.

If it weren't for Zhou Sen, it would have been impossible to pass through this terrifying dark forest unscathed.

On the evening of the third day, the people finally reached a sparse pine forest, which was littered with abandoned garbage and cooking utensils, apparently once the camp of the Hun cavalry, where they gathered and then entered the dark forest in groups.

The soldiers moved cautiously, and every movement was like walking on thin ice.

In case a large number of Huns are entrenched here, and their identities are revealed, then they will lose all their efforts.

After careful reconnaissance, it was determined that there were no more enemies stationed in the woods.

Cai Ping identified a direction, and after deciding it, taking advantage of the night, everyone advanced towards the prairie.

Cai Ping was extremely familiar with the environment of the desert, and he knew that not far away, there was a small tribe.

The first thing they have to do now is to snatch the horses.

"Someone!"

When the people were trudging through the grass, suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them, and everyone hurriedly lay down and lurked in the grass, their bows and crossbows wound, ready to fight.

At this time, the position of the crowd is in the middle of the hill, and you can get a bird's-eye view of the back with a slight look up.

One.

Two.

Three.

……

Sixteen men in all, twenty-five horses.

Who are they?

Zhou Sen watched the sixteen horsemen get closer and closer, scouting with "Jing", he was a little puzzled about the identity of these people, because, among these people, there were actually three women and two teenage children.

"Prepare for battle, stay at the front."

"Yes!"

"There were women and children in there." Zhou Sen lowered his voice and reminded.

"I'll explain to you later." Cai Ping's face was full of murder.

Zhou Sen didn't say anything more, although he was the leader of this team, but it was because of his excellent personal combat effectiveness, which did not mean that he had excellent command ability. There is no doubt that in terms of leading troops to fight, both Cai Ping and Xiao Yi are more experienced than him.

Under the cover of darkness, people spread out in the grass, and according to the trajectory of each other's runs, a huge encirclement was arranged.

A hundred powerful crossbows shimmered in the grass with a dark metallic sheen, cold and bone-piercing.

The goal is getting closer.

People held their breath.

"Shoot!"

Cai Ping shouted violently, and the sharp arrows like locusts flew out, densely packed.

There was no resistance, just a round of shooting, and fifteen of the sixteen were shot like hedgehogs, and fell straight from their horses, and the only one left seemed to be stunned, and actually sat on the horse at a loss.

Zhou Sen was the first to move.

Zhou Sen's movements were like lightning, and like a ghost in the dark, silent, when the fifteen targets fell, Zhou Sen had already swept up out of thin air, like an eagle and swooped down on the person who was at a loss on the horse, and then rolled down to the grass together.

An old man with a wrinkled face.

A panicked old man.

The old man was dressed as a herdsman, trembling all over, not at all like a wolf-like Hun soldier.

In the darkness of the night, Zhou Sen saw that the fifteen people who were shot into hedgehogs, old and young, were all dressed in herdsmen's clothes. Obviously, this was a family, and the people who were shot were all members of the family, and among them were two teenage children with several sharp arrows in their faces, their eyes wide open, and a look of fear that they were on the verge of death.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Zhou Sen's heart tingled.

"Say!" Cai Ping and several soldiers also rushed over, tied up the old man, and began to torture him.

"They're just herders." Zhou Sen let out a long sigh.

"Will herders run around the prairie in the middle of the night? Will herdsmen take dozens of healthy horses to hang out in the middle of the night? Cai Ping glanced at Zhou Sen and said lightly.

"They cooperated with the actions of the Hun cavalry?" Zhou Sen's body shook.

"Yes, you will know soon, Zhou Sen, you have only been in the army for a short time, in order to carry out military tasks, it is inevitable that there will be a woman's kindness, you can avoid it for a while, and you will know it later."

"Hmm."

Zhou Sen glanced at the healthy horses that were full of supplies, and already understood what was going on, and walked up the hillside alone.

The mountain breeze blows.

Zhou Sen stared at the deep darkness on the grassland, and there was a burst of screams and struggles from the bottom of the hillside.

Why are you always soft-hearted?

Why is the wisdom of which I am proud to be blinded at this time?

These people appeared in the areas where the cavalry operated, obviously to provide them with logistical support, and they were only moved by mercy because the other party had women and children, and it seemed that they were really not suitable to be soldiers.

Soldiers, for the sake of victory, should be unscrupulous.

And Zhou Sen, although he is also a little unscrupulous, but it is only for the strong, he never thought that one day he would raise a butcher's knife against defenseless women and children.

……

In a moment of thought, the screaming from below the hillside stopped, and after a while, a near-death scream was heard, and it was clear that the old man had also been executed.

"How?" Zhou Sen looked at Cai Ping with a hideous face.

"They have three secret passages, and not long ago, they sent the last cavalry deep into the Dark Forest, numbering five thousand. The old man was a large family, and they were loyal to Shan Yu, providing cover and logistics for this cavalry, because there were so many people, the old man gathered all the members of the family together to transport supplies for those cavalry. ”

"How many people did they go in total?" Zhou Sen asked.

"The old man is only a peripheral person, I don't know the specific number, but judging by his oral statement, the total number of cavalry who entered the hinterland of Wuchao City through the secret passage of the dark forest should have reached 30,000, and there were a large number of masters accompanying him, according to the old man, among them, eight of the top ten warriors of the Huns went, and there were four great masters, and there were countless skills."

"It seems that this time Shan Yu has made a heavy bet on Wuchao City, and it is bound to win."

"Yes, we must disturb their rear, we must act quickly, without delay."

"Hmm."

"By the way, Zhou Sen, war is cruel, in our eyes, there should be no women and children, only enemies and friends. If you see a teenager shooting our comrades in the back with a crossbow, there will be no mercy. Cai Ping stared at Zhou Sen.

"Understood."

"Zhou Sen, since we have arrived here, then, life and death are no longer important, everything is based on the overall situation."

"Yes, understood!" Zhou Sen nodded heavily, he naturally understood that Cai Ping was afraid that he would be cowardly. Cai Ping didn't know that Zhou Sen was originally the first bandit in the five star fields who killed people like hemp, and he had an unknown dual personality.

At this time, the people had already collected the spoils of war and obtained more than thirty Hun horses and some yogurt and other food.

Under the cover of night, the crowd followed the established route.

Because there are more than 30 horses, the soldiers are much bolder, after all, with horses, even if they encounter cavalry, they have the strength to fight, and they don't have to sit still.

After walking for another two hours, we arrived at a market.

The bazaar is made up of countless tents that stretch for miles.

After a brief discussion, the men on horseback set fire, and the others waited for the rabbits to shoot the fleeing ones.

During the discussion, Zhou Sen remained silent from beginning to end, and Cai Ping seemed to be aware that Zhou Sen might have a psychological disorder and did not ask for his opinion.

After arranging their respective positions, Cai Ping lit the torch, held a knife in one hand, signaled, and began to set fire along the narrow streets of the market town, and soon, the monstrous flames tore through the heavy black curtain, under the bloody firelight, the disheveled herdsmen cried and fled for their lives, and the crossbowmen lurking around began to carry out a merciless slaughter, constantly shooting deadly arrows.

In less than half an hour, the market town was razed to the ground, all the supplies were burned, some cattle, horses and livestock were slaughtered on the spot, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

As for the number of deaths, it is impossible to estimate, because many were burned in their sleep, more than 200 people were shot, and very few escaped.

The slaughter began.

Under the leadership of Cai Ping, one hundred elite students rushed all the way along the oasis, and in just one night, they razed more than a dozen or seven market towns and more than twenty family tribes, and wherever they passed, there were no prisoners and no booty, only burning and killing.

Burn all the supplies and kill all the livestock.

Because there were too many animals to kill, in the end, thousands of animals were simply expelled to the grasslands and left to fend for themselves.

Cai Ping did not deliberately kill the herdsmen, but in the midst of the burning, resistance was inevitable, and in the face of the wolf-like imperial elite, the herdsmen had no room for resistance.

These 100 people are the elite selected from hundreds of thousands of people.

In the past, the herdsmen were not so vulnerable, but today, they can only be slaughtered, because the young and strong men of the tribe and some masters of martial arts have gone to the front, leaving behind the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Of course, there are still a few masters who will occasionally stay in the tribe, but in the face of this elite army of the empire deep into the hinterland, they are like moths to a fire, and they are killing themselves.

……

At noon the next day, everyone arrived in a deserted place before they had a chance to breathe.

The soldiers were tired, but they were very excited, and their faces were filled with violent killing intent.

In the midst of this day and night of killing, there were many people who had actually advanced to the level of the strong, and their strength had greatly improved.

The most incredible thing is that after counting the number of people, a hundred people are still a hundred, and there is not a single loss, although there are a few wounded, they are all slightly injured, and they have no effect on the battle and the march, and a slight bandage is enough.

Zhou Sen didn't have much joy, in his heart, it was as if there was a heavy stone pressing him, which made him breathless.

Zhou Sen sat alone on a boulder, keeping a distance from everyone, looking out of place.

"Zhou Sen." Cai Ping walked over and handed the skin water bladder in his hand to Zhou Sen.

"Thank you." Zhou Sen took a big sip of water, and the cold water was injected into his body, which made Zhou Sen sober up a lot.

"One autumn three years ago, when I was a recruit, I remember for the rest of my life that it was a sweltering autumn and the prairie was like a furnace. I was patrolling the grassland with a group of comrades, because I was chasing a gang of horse thieves, my comrades and I were separated from the patrol, my comrades and I were tired and thirsty on the grassland, and finally, I met a herdsman, and the men in the herdsman's family went out, just a woman, and a little girl about thirteen years old......"

Cai Ping paused, his eyes full of grief and indignation.

"The woman was very welcoming, and took her daughter to entertain us with sumptuous food, because it was two women, and they were kind and kind, we relaxed our vigilance, and just as we were drinking, suddenly, two women took advantage of our spare arrows to shoot us, and the thirteen-year-old girl was extremely skilled in archery, and the sharp arrow pierced the back of my comrade's neck...... I will always remember that scene...... The comrades-in-arms still have food in their hands...... He looked at me incredulously, and the bloody arrows pierced through his Adam's apple......"

“…… That woman was very poor at archery, probably because she had been working on housework for a long time and didn't have time to practice archery, and her arrow lost its accuracy and landed on my shoulder......"

Cai Ping unbuttoned his armor, revealing a scar on his shoulder, which was extremely terrifying, like a disgusting worm lying on his shoulder.

"I killed the two women, burned the herdsman's house on fire, and returned to Wuchao City with a cold corpse. After that, even if I die of thirst and starvation, I will not beg for food and drink in the Hun herdsmen's houses......"

"Zhou Sen, the Xiongnu is a specific nation, a three-in-one form of armed force, there are only soldiers in the land of the Xiongnu, and there are no people, and the land of the Xiongnu belongs to all the soldiers. In the beginning, we did not offend the Xiongnu herdsmen Qiu, and because of this, the Han Empire suffered many casualties, and there are countless examples like mine in the steppe. Later, as long as it was determined that the herdsmen were a threat to our army, they would immediately kill the whole door, and under this kind of deterrence, fewer and fewer herdsmen dared to assassinate and ambush the border guards......"

"I see."

Suddenly, Zhou Sen felt a sense of relief.

Zhou Sen does not kill innocents indiscriminately, but he is never merciful to his enemies.

"Hehe, it's good to understand, in fact, I was the same as you at first, but after seeing my comrade-in-arms lying in a pool of blood, I completely put away my compassion. The Xiongnu nation is a terrible nation, they are more martial than the people of the Han Empire, many children's toys are bows and crossbows, swords, for such a people, the only way is to make them afraid. As long as they make mistakes, they will be severely punished and made to pay the price of blood, only in this way will they remember for a long time and dare not act rashly! ”

"I have said before that the negligence of the individual can cause danger to the whole army, and the efforts of the individual contribute to the success of the whole! Don't worry, I'm not going to hold you back. Zhou Sen smiled faintly.

"I believe in you!"

Looking at Cai Ping's indifferent smile, Cai Ping felt an extremely wonderful feeling. This young man, who is much younger than himself, in addition to having an indescribable majesty in his gestures, also has a calm and unhurried bearing.

"I estimate that the Hun army outside Wuchao City has received the news, they may send a team of men and horses to chase and kill us, we have to speed up and lead them by the nose." Zhou Sen glanced at the blue sky and white clouds.

"Yes, we now have hundreds of good horses, we can do it all the way in the grassland non-stop, the soldiers sent by the Hun army, because they are preparing for war, are all heavily armoured, and they are not as fast as us, and they can't have a few horses per person, so we have an absolute mobility advantage."

"It's still early, let's hurry up and rest, the brothers are tired and need to replenish a little strength."

……

After several days and nights of rapid marching, and continuous high-intensity attacks on the steppe, a hundred elite soldiers immediately rested on the spot after they had eaten and drunk, and their swords and crossbows were placed beside them.

The sun shone on the dark faces.

Zhou Sen did not rest, he sat cross-legged on the boulder, guarding the soldiers.

In the sky, there is an eagle circling.

Zhou Sen didn't notice the eagle, and the first thing he noticed about the eagle was the mad Taoist priest lying on the ground. The mad Taoist is a strange person, although his body is not as strong as Zhou Sen, his endurance is extremely terrifying, in these days and nights of marching and fighting, he will immediately become energetic after a little rest.

Now, the mad Taoist priest was still in extreme excitement, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, but he found the eagle in the sky.

"Not good, there are enemies!"

The mad Taoist suddenly turned over and shouted, and immediately, all the people were awakened and jumped up one after another, but they found that there was no enemy around.

"Mad Daoist, where is the enemy?" Zhou Sen used the Quiet Realm to monitor a radius of several miles, but there was not the slightest disturbance.

"Look in the sky, the eagle raised by the Huns, the way it hovers now is to tell the eagle's owner our specific location."

"So powerful?" Zhou Sen was a little skeptical.

"The mad priest is right. It seems that we are being targeted. ”

Cai Ping looked at the sky with a solemn expression. If they are targeted by this eagle, no matter where they flee, they will not be able to escape the enemy's surveillance, because no matter how fast they are, they cannot be faster than the steppe eagle flying in the air.

"You can shoot it down with an arrow." Zhou Sen said disapprovingly.

"Shoot down!" Almost all of them looked at Zhou Sen with a look of surprise.

"Zhou Sen, this eagle is at an altitude of thousands of meters, and its gliding speed is extremely fast, not to mention that the arrow can't shoot so high, even if it shoots to that height, the eagle has long been gone." Cai Ping smiled bitterly.

"I'll shoot and see."

Zhou Sen Qiankun is full of horned bows, and he borrowed a longbow from someone at random.

Everyone glanced at each other and looked at Zhou Sen with blank eyes.

In fact, no one believed that Zhou Sen could shoot an eagle thousands of meters in the air, after all, it was out of the realm of human thinking, and in addition, the shooting distance of the longbow could not reach that far.

Among ordinary people, a hundred steps through Yang is already very powerful.

The art of arrows is to turn decay into magic.

After Zhou Sen and Fan'er cultivated together, the art of Yi Arrow has reached a higher realm, and Zhou Sen's use of the seal of skill has become more and more proficient, and the art of Yi Arrow has gone further.

Longbow in hand.

Zhou Sen's deep eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

There are not many longbowmen in Wuchao City, because, unlike the horned bow, the user must have a strong physique, superb technique and coordination in all aspects, for which the soldiers must go through years of hard training and practice.

However, because the strong have the characteristics of a strong physique, even the most junior strong man is an extremely good longbowman. Of course, the strong rarely use the longbow as a weapon, because the longbowman must attack the enemy from a distance in the formation, while the strong man is better at charging into battle, in a practical sense, the longbow is a chicken rib for the strong.

Cavalry is a nightmare for longbowmen.

Once the cavalry charged into the position of the longbowmen, it turned into a one-sided massacre, so the longbowmen were in the rear, providing cover for the cavalry and infantry, which in turn provided protection for the longbowmen.

Theoretically, the fall of the longbowmen's position was tantamount to a defeat in the war. Of course, that is only theoretical, after all, war is changing rapidly, and there are all kinds of unexpected possibilities.

In fact, the strong are equipped with longbows, mainly to shoot some important generals of the enemy from a distance, rather than to use them in large-scale battles, after all, there is no country that will put an elite master like the strong man in the back to shoot arrows, which is undoubtedly a huge waste of resources.

These hundred elite soldiers have reached the level of a junior powerhouse at the very least, like Cai Ping, who is infinitely close to an intermediate powerhouse.

There is no doubt that these hundred people are excellent longbowmen.

However, because everyone is an excellent longbowman, everyone knows how difficult it is to shoot an eagle in the sky.

A hundred steps through Yang, only dozens of zhang.

This eagle is hundreds of feet above the sky.

People who are slightly familiar with birds know that like the eagle of the steppe, the wingspan is about one zhang, and likes to stay at a height of 100 zhang, and the average archer cannot shoot the arrow so high, and the feathers of the steppe eagle in order to reduce the air resistance of gliding, in the evolution of thousands of years, become shiny and smooth, if the bow and arrow are not shot vertically into the body of the eagle, the arrow will slip on its feathers, and it is difficult to stab or kill them completely.

On the prairie, the person who can shoot the eagle, except for some old antiques of the Fan'er family, is Master Yerong, the king of martial arts.

It is said that for hundreds of years, there was also a master of condor archery in the Shan Yu family......

……

A feathered arrow was in Zhou Sen's hand.

The atmosphere became tense.

At this time, Zhou Sen was standing on the boulder, his long hair was flying, and his deep eyes were staring closely at the eagle in the sky, like a lifeless sculpture.

The seal of the skill lurking in the dragon armor was urged by Zhou Sen to lock the hovering eagle in the sky.

Suddenly, a tremendous force poured into Zhou Sen's body.

The Seal of Skill!

Zhou Sen's body shook, and he felt a surging force suddenly surging into his body, and he was sure that it was not his own strength.

This is the power of the ancient gods!

Although Zhou Sen was shocked in his heart, he was quietly bending his bow and arrows.

At the moment when he bent his bow and arrows, the majestic and surging power followed his arm and poured into the lifeless bow and arrow, and even the bowstring was infused with incomparable power......

……

Baste!

A slight sound,

The long arrow feathers came out of the string, and lightning flew into the sky, in the air, the arrow feathers actually formed a high-speed spiral energy, and the steel arrows actually had a violent friction with the air, producing a dazzling firelight, which was thrilling.

Disheveled!

Just as people were holding their breath, suddenly, the arrow feathers burst into flames, forming a tail flame.

The sharp arrow rubbed a dazzling arc of light, and dragged a long tail flame behind it towards the eagle, which seemed to sense the threat of life, let out a chirp, circled, and was about to flee......

……

Say it's too late, then it's too fast.

At the moment when the feathers on the tail of the sharp arrow were burning, the sharp arrow that glittered with fire had already inserted into the eagle's body, and at this time, the eagle had just chirped and tried to escape.

"Let's go!"

Zhou Sen didn't say anything, jumped on the back of the horse from the boulder, and galloped wildly.

Seeing Zhou Sen riding his horse and galloping away, a group of stunned soldiers suddenly came to their senses, and hurriedly followed Zhou Sen and galloped away, behind them, followed by hundreds of Hun horses......

……

In less than two hours, an iron cavalry of nearly 1,000 people appeared in Zhou Sen's resting place, led by the warrior Hu Yansheng, and beside him, there was a short middle-aged man, although the middle-aged man was short, he was extremely strong, and the whole looked like a terrifying and fierce atmosphere.

He is Chen Hu, who ranks second on the list of the top ten warriors of the Huns.

In Chen Hu's hands, it was the eagle that was shot to death by Zhou Sen, and the eagle's corpse still had the arrow feathers that had been completely burned.

The art of arrows.

The Seal of Skill.

Who is it?

Who can use both the Arrow and the Seal of Skill?

Chen Hu's face was solemn.

Chen Hu knew that in the prairie, the most powerful archery technique was the art of Yi Arrow, but that was a woman's patent, and only women could learn the essence of Yi Arrow Technique. And the seal of skill is the patent of men.

On the prairie, only the king of martial arts, Master Yerong, a woman, can cultivate the seal of martial arts, except for her, even if she is as powerful as the Fan'er family, she can only practice the art of arrows, and cannot unlock the shackles of the seal of martial arts on women......

……

"We must inform Master Yerong!" Chen Hu looked at the vast prairie, his eyes were extremely solemn.

"Discovery?" Hu Yansheng felt Chen Hu's heavy heart.

"Judging from this arrow feather, this person has stepped into the hall of the seal of merit, and has a connection with the power of the ancient gods, and this connection is fundamentally different from our seal of merit, you see...... There are signs that this arrow feather has been burned, which means that the man is not able to control the seal of skill at all......"

"Isn't it bad to be unmanageable?" Hu Yansheng was stunned for a moment, puzzled.

"It's not good if we can't control it, but even if you control it, can you burn this steel arrow?" Chen Hu snorted coldly and glanced at Hu Yansheng.

“…… No. Hu Yansheng's face turned red.

"Yes, you can't, actually, I can't either! If none of us can't, why can? It can only be said that that person has obtained the approval of the ancient gods, just like Master Yerong, the king of martial arts. ”

"Another King of Martial Arts!" Hu Yansheng suddenly changed color.

"Yes, in time, another king of martial arts will be born. If it is the king of martial arts of our Xiongnu clan, the problem is that that person is obviously the enemy of our steppe. Chen Hu said meaningfully.

"The King of Martial Arts...... The enemy of our steppes...... Don't...... Don't...... Our God has forsaken us...... No...... No way...... No! Hu Yansheng's eyes were filled with endless fear.

"I can't say that, after all, we still have Master Yerong, as long as Master Yerong exists, the gods will always protect our Huns."

"Yes, we still have Master Yerong." Hu Yansheng's expression eased a lot.

"Although we have Master Yerong, however, Master Yerong no longer asks about the world, so we will never allow a second king of martial arts to appear to replace Master Yerong, we must strangle that person in the cradle before he is fledgling, otherwise, when he becomes the darling of the gods, we will regret it too late......" Chen Hu's eyes were full of fierce light.

"Only we, the Huns, are the darlings of the gods!" Hu Yansheng gritted his teeth.

"Yes, one day, our Hun Iron Cavalry will set foot all over the Continent of Gods and Demons!"

The two stared at the remnant sun in the distance, their faces fanatical......
