With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

The tent suddenly exploded in chaos, and the barbarian warriors roared in anger.

Waving the scimitar in his hand, he wished he could rush out and fight Lu Yan to the death.

"That son of a bitch Lu Yan! Does he really think we barbarians are easy to bully?"

"Let's fight them! Even if I die, I will chop off Lu Yan's dog head!"

"Chief, give the order! Let's kill all these bastards from Shannan County!"

The barbarians who once dominated the world are now like a group of wild beasts forced into a corner.

Full of anger and resentment.

The former glory seemed so vulnerable in front of Lu Yan's musket.

An old barbarian wise man stood up and said tremblingly:

"Clan leader, Lu Yan is currently on the rise, not to mention that we were severely injured recently. A head-on fight might...probably not be appropriate!"

"Yes, Chief," another warrior echoed.

"How about...how about we evacuate this place first, conserve our strength, and then make plans later?"

"Retreat?" Ariba stood up suddenly and kicked over the low table in front of him.

"We barbarians have lived here for generations. The graves of our ancestors are all here. Where can we retreat to?"

"Are we going to wander around like a lost dog?"

"But Chief, as long as there is life, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood!"

The wise man advised earnestly, "If we fight Lu Yan now, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg!"

"Then what do you say we should do? Surrender?" Ariba roared.

The wise man trembled with fear and knelt down on the ground

"Calm down, Chief! That's not what I meant! I just... I just think we should be more cautious..."

Another spy rushed into the tent and knelt on the ground

"Chief! Good news! The people we sent to the main vein for help have sent back news that reinforcements from the main vein will arrive soon!"

"Really?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Ariba's eyes.

"When will the reinforcements arrive?"

"At most...at most three months!" said the spy excitedly.

"Three months..." Ariba pondered for a moment.

"Three months, can we hold on until then?"

The wise man said quickly:

"Chief, as long as we can pretend to surrender, paralyze Lu Yan, and delay time,"

"Once the main force arrives, we will cooperate with the outside forces and will surely annihilate Lu Yan in one fell swoop!"

Ariba nodded:

"Alright! Let's do it! First, send people to Shannan County and pretend to surrender to buy time!"

Before he finished speaking, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside the tent:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack—"

The sharp cry broke the silence of the night sky.

What followed was the deafening sound of horse hooves and gunfire.

Ariba's face changed drastically. He grabbed the scimitar and rushed out of the tent.

I saw flames rising into the sky and shouts of killing shaking the earth.

The army of Shannan County poured into the barbarian camp like a tide.

"What's going on? How come they got here so quickly?"

Ariba's eyes widened in disbelief.

Rockets rained down from the sky like fire, turning the barbarian camp into a sea of ​​fire.

The air was filled with a strong smell of burning, and screams and shouts were heard everywhere.

Those barbarian warriors, their bodies on fire, rolled on the ground like fireballs.

Trying in vain to put out the flames on his body.

But it only sent the sparks flying further, setting more tents on fire.

"Damn Lu Yan! How dare he!"

Ariba roared, brandished his scimitar, and tried to organize a counterattack.

He never expected that Lu Yan would choose to launch an attack in this way at this time.

He originally thought that Lu Yan would wait until dawn to attack.

Or at least they would send someone to negotiate first, giving themselves a chance to surrender.

But he was wrong. Lu Yan had no intention of giving him any chance at all.

"Chief, let's retreat quickly! If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

The wise man cried out in horror, his voice trembling and almost inaudible.

He grabbed Ariba's arm and tried to pull him away.

Ariba shook off the wise man's arm and roared:

"Retreat? Where to retreat? Our home is right here!"

"As long as there are green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood, Chief!"

The wise man advised earnestly.

"If we fight Lu Yan head-on now, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg!"

"Retreat to Beixiang Kingdom first, and wait for the main force to arrive, then we will fight back!"

Ariba hesitated for a moment, he knew the wise man was right.

The current situation is completely out of control, and staying here will only lead to death.

He looked around at his tribesmen struggling in the sea of ​​fire, his heart filled with grief and unwillingness.

"Okay! Let's retreat!"

Ariba finally made a difficult decision.

Several close confidants around him ran all the way under the leadership of Ariba.

The firelight behind them made their faces red, and also made their unwilling eyes red.

They used to be the masters of this land, but now they are fleeing everywhere like stray dogs.

……

In the light of the fire, the soldiers from Shannan County poured into the barbarian camp like a flood.

The barbarian warriors, though brave and valiant, were as weak as paper before the muskets.

They roared and waved their swords.

But he could only watch his companions fall one by one.

The blood dyed the ground beneath their feet red and formed small streams.

Lu Fei held a musket in each hand and fired left and right, with flames spitting out of the muzzle.

The heads of the two barbarian warriors exploded instantly, and red and white blood splattered all over the ground.

"Great!" Lu Fei screamed excitedly.

He threw the smoking rifle in his hand to the ground.

He snatched two new ones from the soldiers beside him.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill people to my heart's content today!"

Zhang Xun took the lead and led the cavalry like a sharp knife.

It pierced the center of the barbarian camp fiercely.

Horse hooves flew and dust rose up.

The barbarians' hastily formed formation was instantly shattered.

Han Sheng led the infantry battalion to cut in from the flank.

Like an iron clamp, it divided and surrounded the scattered barbarian soldiers.

The barbarians, men, women, young and old, cried and fled in all directions.

They were trying to escape from this hell on earth.

But I found that no matter where I ran.

They could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry, nor could they avoid the precise strikes of the bullets.

Zhang Xun killed his way to the tent of the barbarian chief like cutting melons and vegetables.

But he found that the place was already empty.

"Damn it, that old guy Ariba ran away!"

Zhang Xun spat.

With one blow, he cut off the supporting pillars of the big tent, and the gorgeous tent collapsed with a loud bang.

"Your clan leader has run away, are you still going to struggle to the death?"

Zhang Xun roared at the remaining barbarian soldiers.

The barbarian soldiers' already low morale completely collapsed after hearing these words.

They threw away their weapons, fell to their knees, and trembled.

Those barbarians, men, women and children who were still fleeing.

They were also driven together by the soldiers of Shannan County like cattle and sheep.

They knew that the barbarians were finished, completely finished.

Lu Fei wiped the blood off his face, his eyes red with excitement.
