The next morning, Budugen's 5,000 troops arrived outside the pass.

He looked at the wall at the pass from a distance and asked Muyetti, "Why did you let the enemy build the wall?"

Muyetti Khan was furious. He had just discovered it in the morning. He originally wanted to send people to destroy it, but since it had already been rebuilt, he decided to just wait for the adults to come.

"This... We fought all day yesterday, and the warriors are all tired. Plus, I was sure the bandits wouldn't escape, so I didn't send anyone to monitor the pass."

This excuse was barely acceptable, so Budugen asked, "How was the battle yesterday? How many people were killed? Are the horse thieves' divine bows and weapons really as powerful as they say?"

Muyeti's eyes rolled as he said, "Of course not. The divine bow can penetrate two layers of armor. The horse thieves also have a kind of large sword that can cut a horse in half with one blow. We fought fiercely yesterday, sacrificing a thousand warriors and only killing four or five hundred of them. Now there are only three or four hundred left. If you rush in with so many people, you can trample them to death."

Hearing this, Gai Loufang twitched his lips and chose to remain silent.

No matter whether he is Budugen or Holka, as long as he can kill those horse thieves, it doesn't matter if he dies. Anyway, his tribe is finished. It is better to die in a group than alone. As long as he can get revenge, it's fine.

Budugen, however, was not so easily fooled. He pressed on, "Since there are only three or four hundred left, why not wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

Muyetti said calmly, "I heard from Gailoufang that you are leading the troops here. I don't want to eat alone. Please, sir, for the great efforts of my troops yesterday, reward me with something when the time comes so that I can report back."

Budugen turned around and asked Gailoufang, "Is what he said true?"

Gai Loufang nodded hurriedly. He dared not say that the bandits were cruel, otherwise the adults would not dare to charge in.

"In that case, let's get rid of these thieves today and go back to winter shelter." Budugen made the decision.

There are only three or four hundred of them. Even if they have magical bows and sharp weapons, they can only be crushed into meat paste under the iron hooves of his warriors.

Gailoufang was overjoyed and flattered him immediately, "Sir, you are wise and brave. With you here, we will surely capture the city easily."

To break in, they had to knock down the wall first. Budugen let the knights rest for a while, fed the horses, and sent people to cut wood.

After a while, the soldiers brought two huge trees as thick as waists.

Dozens of people carried one stick, and shield soldiers guarded the left and right sides. The team of 400 people, ready to hit the wall, shouted and came towards the pass.

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps...

The wall appeared more and more clearly in front of everyone's eyes. It was different from ordinary walls. There were black, red, and white colors on it, and the colors were complicated. When they got closer, the people walking in front of the team turned pale with fright.

One of the soldiers pointed at the wall and trembled, "That's made of corpses..."

The leading general, holding a shield, rode forward and took a look. He was so scared that he almost fell off his horse.

He hurriedly turned his horse around, stopped the team, and hurried back to report to Budugen.

"What? The horse thieves actually built a wall with our warriors? I will kill these damn horse thieves! Kill them!" The first one to get angry was Muyetti.

Budugen's face also turned pale. These were all his people. The bandits insulted them, which was an insult to him, Budugen.

After a few token curses, the man building the building asked, "What should we do now? Should we push down the wall?"

This piece of wood is going to hit one of your own people in the face.

Budugen said coldly, "Push! Go in and kill all those bandits. Use their bodies to sacrifice to my dead people."

Muyeti was also aroused by hatred at this moment. With the support of Budugen's 5,000 men, he became a little bolder and shouted, "Yes, I will also make their heads into wine vessels and their skins into lampshades."

Several leaders agreed to push the wall, and the general went back to the team to convey the military order. Although the soldiers were a little scared, they had no choice but to move forward. However, their footsteps were obviously not as neat and loud as before.

The longbowmen on the city wall continued their work as they did yesterday. After several rounds of shooting, hundreds more corpses were found outside the pass.

Seeing this, Budugen turned and looked at Muyetti suspiciously, "With this divine bow, could you really have killed four or five hundred of them yesterday?"

Muyati said, "There was nothing blocking the pass yesterday, so we rushed in immediately. Even if their bows were powerful, they couldn't shoot many people!"

That seems to be the truth.

Although he felt sorry for the casualties among his men, he had already made a promise that he would fight his way in no matter what. Budugen did not give the order to stop, so the reinforcements had to keep coming up.

Half an hour later, there was a loud bang, and the wall of flesh that had not yet completely frozen solid was pushed down.

"Infantry retreat, knights advance, kill!"

The angry Xianbei cavalry began to gallop. The grassland warriors were good riders. Their horses stepped over the corpses of their own people and then over the ice corpses at the pass. They jumped over various obstacles along the way and entered the pass in a graceful and flowing manner.

"hiss--"

"Squeaky--"

The neighing of war horses and the sound of their hooves sliding across the ice were like a broken symphony. As soon as the sound of "Squeak" was heard, the neighing followed closely.

The first Hu man who rushed in followed his fallen horse and slid down from the pass like a slide. Due to inertia, his body suddenly pierced into the wooden stake, and his entire body was pierced. The top of the stake came out of his back, bringing out a piece of broken liver.

"Ah-ah-ah-"

The screams of the Hu warriors joined the orchestra. As soon as they stopped on one side, they started again on the other side. It was very lively. In a short while, the wooden stakes in the front row were filled with skewers of human and horse meat.

The long spears distributed along the ice road were constantly extended and retracted, and the Hu people who rushed in from behind and had no chance to be skewers were stabbed to death one by one. Another person nearby was responsible for dragging the corpses out of the ice road.

"Stop! Come back now!"

Realizing he had fallen into a trap, Budugen shouted loudly and the horn was soon blown.

Here they had to review the riding skills of the Hu people and give an order. Everyone reined in their horses and there was a deafening neighing sound. Despite such momentum, not a single horse hit the knight in front.

The road outside the pass was lined with bushes and trees on both sides, so the knights could only turn their horses around on the spot, with the rear team becoming the front team and retreating. As they left, a number of their lives were lost to the longbowmen.

More than 500 people were killed, but not a single hair of the horse thieves was caught. Budugen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Damn it! He actually built an ice road behind the wall, damn thief! Damn it!" Budugen gritted his teeth in anger.

Building House followed suit, "They deserved it, sir. You must avenge those who died today!"

Muyetti curled his lips and looked at the building with disdain.

"Of course I have to take revenge. If I can't take down just a few hundred horse bandits, how can I be worthy of being called a lord?" Budugen said angrily.

"But... the weather is very cold now, and the ice road may not melt. The knights' hooves will slip as soon as they enter. What should we do?" Mu Ye asked.

Gai Loufang thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, the only way to deal with him now is to launch a night attack. Your Excellency can send people to climb in from the far wall at night and kill him by surprise."

Muyeti's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea! The thief killed so many of us effortlessly today. With the ice path blocking the way, he'll definitely let down his guard. His archers won't be effective at night, so the chances of success are very high."

"A night raid alone won't be enough..."

Budugen paced back and forth with a frown on his face. After a moment, he said, "Let the soldiers bring some hay and dead leaves to pave the ice path. Then the knights can ride in and trample those people to death."
