The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"I will retire at the end."

Li Jing saluted again, then stepped back to make arrangements for defense.

At this time, the Hun vanguard had arrived.

These Hun cavalrymen all held maces or scimitars, with ferocious faces, and were obviously elite.

However, they did not get too close, but stopped and watched a hundred meters away, probably waiting for the arrival of the army.

This Xiongnu cavalry came from the Huyan tribe of the Western Xiongnu.

The Huyan tribe was one of the larger tribes in the Western Xiongnu, with 100,000 people and 40,000 warriors.

Huyan Quan, the leader of the Huyan tribe, was an ambitious man who was determined to lead all the tribes in the northwest grasslands and become the overlord of the northwest.

And the reason he sent troops today was naturally for Ning Quan.

Huyan Quan didn't know that Ning Quan had been exiled to Beiting, nor did he know that Ning Quan would pass by here. He didn't even know who Ning Quan was.

But just because he didn't know didn't mean no one told him.

As early as three months ago when Ning Quan left the capital, the third prince sent someone to inform Hu Yanquan of the news.

Hu Yanquan and the Third Prince were certainly not in the same party, and it was even less likely that he would obey the Third Prince, but he coveted the large amount of supplies that Ning Quan brought with him.

Therefore, his appearance today is not surprising.

.........

"Boom~"

Ten miles away, 20,000 Hun cavalry were coming like a rolling torrent.

Hu Yanquan was at the front of the team. He was wearing iron armor, with dark clouds under his crotch stepping on the snow, looking very majestic.

Next to him was his son Huyan Bolie, also wearing armor and exuding a powerful aura.

"Give the order and speed up."

"Within half a day, we must completely wipe out the enemy."

Hu Yanquan's eyes flashed coldly and he shouted coldly.

"promise!"

With Huyan Bolie's order, the Xiongnu army immediately accelerated and rushed towards Ningquan.

the other side.

Li Jing and others were busy arranging their formations and preparing for battle.

Ning Quan was also thinking about how to defeat the enemy.

There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides in this battle. Ning Quan had less than 2,500 people, while the Huns had 20,000.

But Ning Quan couldn't retreat, otherwise what would happen to the supplies he had worked so hard to prepare?

"General Zhang, gather all the prisoners. I want to give them a lecture."

Ning Quan took a deep breath and gave instructions to Zhang Liao.

The only way to win this battle is to let the prisoners of war help fight.

As long as they are given the opportunity to gain freedom, I believe these prisoners of war will be willing to fight.

"I will obey my orders."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao immediately took the order and left.

A moment later, more than 1,300 prisoners of war were brought up.

"Are you afraid of death?"

Ning Quan stood on a high place and asked condescendingly.

"We Persian warriors certainly don't fear death!"

A Persian prisoner shouted.

"Very good, it seems that Persia also has warriors!"

"In that case... I will give you a chance, a chance to prove yourselves."

"Do you see the Xiongnu cavalry in front of us? If you can follow me and fight together, we can repel them."

"Then you will have a chance to regain your freedom!"

"How about it, do you dare to give it a try?"

Ning Quan said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

"Are you serious?"

"If you deceive us, then wouldn't we have wasted our lives?"

Upon hearing this, the prisoners shouted.

Although they long to regain their freedom, they will never joke with their lives.

"Of course!"

"I am the Ninth Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, so my words are my bond."

Ning Quan said seriously.

"Are you the ninth prince of the Daqian Dynasty?"

The prisoners of war were all stunned. They didn't expect that Ning Quan was actually the prince of Daqian.

"Since you are the Ninth Prince of Daqian, of course we trust you."

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, we believe in you, but please keep your promise!"

"..."

Everyone hesitated for a moment and then shouted.

Although they were captured, they never gave up the idea of returning home.

As long as we defeat the Hun cavalry, we can gain freedom. How can we miss such an opportunity?

"very good!"

"In this case, I hope you will fulfill your mission."

"Zhang Liao, distribute weapons to them immediately." Ning Quan ordered loudly.

"Here!"

Zhang Liao responded and immediately ordered the soldiers to distribute weapons to the prisoners of war.

They were then organized into thirteen centuries and placed on the defensive line.

Including these prisoners of war, Ning Quan has more than 4,000 available soldiers, and the next battle will be much easier.

At the same time, Hu Yanquan had already arrived with a large army.

"Hahaha, Ninth Prince of the Daqian Dynasty, I've finally waited for you.

"If you know what's good for you, hand over the convoy and dismount and surrender. Perhaps I can spare your life."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hu Yanquan rode out of the army, pointed at Ning Quan with his whip and said.

"Who are you? Which tribe are you from? How dare you rob my king?"

Ning Quan narrowed his eyes and stared at Hu Yanquan.

"Hmph, this Khan is the Chanyu of the Huyan tribe of the Western Xiongnu, Huyan Quan."

Hu Yanquan said arrogantly.

"Oh, it turns out to be the Chanyu of the Huyan tribe. I've heard so much about you!"

Ning Quan said in a calm tone.

Huyan Quan frowned slightly. He felt that Ning Quan did not seem to be panicked at all, but instead seemed to be teasing him.

But he didn't think too deeply about it. He was just a little prince and there was nothing to worry about.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Surrender now!"

"Otherwise, you will be killed without a burial place."

Hu Yanquan was too lazy to talk to him and spoke directly.

"Haha, do you think you can defeat me with just 20,000 troops? That's simply foolish!"

Hearing this, Ning Quan suddenly laughed out loud.

"what?"

"It's just looking for death!"

Seeing this, Huyan Quan became extremely furious.

He had been roaming the prairie for many years, and no one had ever dared to mock him like this.

"Boys, kill them!"

Hu Yanquan roared.

In an instant, three thousand Hun cavalry rushed towards Ning Quan.

"Archer, shoot!"

Seeing the enemy troops entering the range, Li Jing drew his sword and roared.

shhhhh!

In an instant, countless arrows flew out and shot into the enemy group.

"Clang clang clang!"

"what……"

Puff, puff!

In the blink of an eye, countless Hun cavalry were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, screaming continuously.

In just one round of shooting, hundreds of Hun cavalry were lost.

"Whizzing!"

Immediately afterwards, the second and third rounds of arrows came, taking away hundreds of lives again.

But the remaining Hun cavalry did not retreat. They braved three rounds of arrow rain and rushed forward.

Afterwards, the Hun cavalry dismounted and prepared to charge into the camp.

"Crossbowman shooting."

At this moment, Li Jing suddenly shouted coldly.

Upon receiving the order, the two hundred crossbowmen who had been prepared immediately pulled the trigger.

shhhhhh!

Suddenly, countless crossbow arrows whizzed out and shot towards the Hun cavalry like dense locusts.

The power of a crossbow is much stronger than that of an arrow, not to mention a continuous shot of ten.

In a flash, blood splattered and broken limbs were scattered all over the ground.

In less than a minute, most of the 3,000 cavalrymen were killed or wounded.

The remaining cavalry were terrified and turned around and ran away.
