In the Great Qin Dynasty, I, the Unruly Commander, begin by dual-cultivating with Yan Ling Ji.

On the grassland, the rapid sound of horses' hooves rang out, raising clouds of dust.

The Right Wise King's eldest son, Guqi, led 10,000 personal guard cavalrymen in a hasty return to the Xiongnu's rear base camp, where the elderly, women, and children resided.

The Xiongnu Royal Court was a city built of stone, where the families of over 100,000 Xiongnu soldiers lived, including several thousand Han slaves.

On the four-meter-high city wall

The general defending the city, Huyan Lie, stared intently at the army rushing in from afar.

His solemn expression only relaxed when he saw Gu Qi, the eldest son of the Right Wise King.

However, he did not immediately order his men to open the city gates, but instead asked in a deep voice:

"Prince Guqi, why did you suddenly lead ten thousand cavalry back to the royal court? Why haven't the Chanyu and the Left and Right Wise Kings returned?"

Huyan Lie was Touman's trusted general, and he was personally ordered to lead 5,000 soldiers to guard the royal court.

Gu Qi rode up to the stone wall, coughed, and said casually:

"My father fears that the royal court will be attacked by the Qin people, so he has ordered me to bring 10,000 troops back to garrison it."

As the son of the Right Wise King, he would never reveal that he and the ten thousand cavalrymen behind him were deserters on the battlefield.

Huyan Lie looked suspicious. "The royal court is in the heart of the grasslands. How could the Qin people possibly attack us?"

Gu Qi said coldly:

"Huyan Lie, you don't know this, but a few days ago, the 50,000 vanguard troops sent out by the Chanyu were somehow discovered by the Qin army and were ambushed and wiped out here."

The Qin people are cunning, so I, the prince, have been specially ordered to return to defend them. Open the gates immediately!

Huyan Lie paused for a moment, then ordered his men to open the city gates.

Gu Qi walked up the city wall, smiled, and came to Hu Yanlie's side. She raised her horsewhip and lashed it across Hu Yanlie's face.

Hu Yanlie's face was covered in blood from the whip, but he just kept silent and lowered his head.

All the other soldiers guarding the city were also taken into custody by Gu Qi's men.

"Guards, take our General Huyan Lie away and lock him in the dungeon to calm him down."

As he spoke, Gu Qi beckoned, and two soldiers with curved swords escorted Hu Yanlie down the city wall, one on each side.

At this time,

The sound of horses' hooves echoed again in the distance. The people on the city wall looked into the distance and saw black banners bearing the mark of the Bad People fluttering in the air.

Two thousand unruly men, wielding swords, rode their warhorses to the court of the Xiongnu.

At the very front, Ying Ziqing pointed his sword at the heavy wooden gate of the city wall.

The only decree was issued:

"Kill them all!"

On the city wall, Huyan Lie watched the charging cavalry and was greatly alarmed. Gu Qi had indeed been right; the Qin people would indeed launch a surprise attack on the royal court.

Gu Qi looked bewildered. His previous words were just an excuse he made up to appease Hu Yanlie. Why was he taking it seriously?

He looked closely and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the enemy only numbered two thousand and did not carry siege equipment, so they would not be able to break through the heavy gate.

Faced with the charge of two thousand elite members of the Bad Guys, he simply instructed his men to guard the city gate.

However, to his surprise, just as the two thousand rogues were about to crash into the city wall, they stood up and leaped onto the city wall.

He leaped high into the air like a feather and easily scaled the four-meter-high stone wall.

Caught off guard, Gu Qi on the city wall was killed by a rogue who had scaled the wall.

The soldiers on the rest of the city wall were the same; in front of the elite members of the Bad People, who were all trained by others, they were like chickens and dogs being slaughtered.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Huyan Lie kicked the soldier who was holding him away, which blocked the incoming sword for him.

He didn't bother going down the steps, but instead jumped down directly. Despite his strong physique, he only staggered slightly before running towards the palace. He was going to organize the palace guards and defend the palace to launch a counterattack.

The elite Bad Guys who scaled the city walls numbered about five hundred. They quickly captured the city gate, and as the gate opened, fifteen hundred Bad Guys riding tall warhorses poured into the city.

They charged towards the Xiongnu soldiers and civilians in the streets.

The 10,000 cavalrymen that Gu Qi had brought back were originally going to the city gate to launch a counterattack, but they were on a narrow street.

They were stopped by a human and a beast.

Ying Ziqing slowly drew the Dragon Sky Sword from her waist and patted the Xie Zhi's head with her other hand.

"Here, you can kill to your heart's content."

The Xie Zhi's eyes flashed with a fierce light. It had no goodwill towards these alien races either. With a deafening roar, its massive body charged into the cavalry.

The terrifying pressure emanating from it made the surrounding warhorses go limp, unable to move like lambs to the slaughter.

In an instant, blood gushed out, and severed limbs flew everywhere.

Upon seeing this, Ying Ziqing's pitch-black eyes behind the mask shone with an eerie red light.

His figure flashed by, and with a powerful push of his right foot, he leaped high into the air, his Dragon Sky Sword pointing at the cavalry behind him.

It fell heavily, like a meteorite.

The surrounding houses collapsed and crumbled, the ground cracked, and rubble and dust flew everywhere.

With Ying Ziqing's attack, hundreds of cavalrymen and their horses were pulverized by the sword energy.

Ten thousand Hunnic cavalrymen, who were as swift as the wind and caused headaches for various countries, were now powerless to resist the slaughter by a man and a beast.

With the arrival of the elite members of the Bad Guys, this street has been transformed into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, resembling a living hell.

At this moment, a captain of the Bad People stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"General, we have taken control of the city gates and all exits. In addition, more than 4,000 Han Chinese have been rescued."

Ying Ziqing sheathed his sword and nodded slightly.

He said calmly, "If that's the case, then withdraw from the city and leave the rest to me."

"Yes, Commander."

The group of rogues acted swiftly, leading more than four thousand Han people to quickly evacuate the royal court.

Ying Ziqing glanced at the Xie Zhi beside her and said irritably:

"You leave too. I don't want to eat roasted xiezhi today."

Upon hearing this, the Xie Zhi shrank its head and left.

After everyone left, Ying Ziqing's cloak moved on its own, fluttering loudly even though there was no wind.

His figure slowly rose into the air, with wisps of terrifying electric arcs crackling on his dark gold armor.

Ying Ziqing closed her eyes slightly and murmured:

"After today, the Xiongnu barbarians will forever become mud in the long river of time."

As his voice fell,

Countless bolts of blazing golden lightning surged from his body, rushing towards the royal court below.

Bolts of lightning, like falling meteors, crashed down upon the city, silently annihilating the lives of the Xiongnu people.

This strike is called Thunderfall.
