When two armies clash in close combat, any tactics or methods become meaningless.

Tan Yun led two hundred cavalrymen and swiftly charged into the enemy ranks, quickly disrupting the barbarian's battle lines.

However, the current problem is that they are short-handed.

Two thousand men charged into the ranks of seven thousand and were quickly divided and surrounded.

Not to mention that many of Chu Xuan's soldiers had just seen blood for the first time.

Chu Xuan stood calmly on the mountain, watching figures fall one after another in the blurry darkness, listening to the clanging of metal and the wails of soldiers.

As the smell of blood grew stronger, so did the disappointment in Chu Xuan's eyes.

Although he couldn't see the specific armor clearly, he could see that the fighting movements were gradually decreasing.

If there's anything particularly eye-catching or remarkable about this battle, it's the cavalry that Chu Xuan dispatched.

Despite being stretched thin, they struggled to penetrate deeper into the enemy territory.

Especially the one in the lead, whose horse never stopped for a moment.

Even though he couldn't see the riders on horseback clearly, Chu Xuan could guess that the leader was Tan Yun.

Tan Yun was born with superhuman strength, and during this time, Li Chu even had a long sword tailored to suit him.

It could be said that his entry into the encirclement was like a lone wolf entering a pride of lions; until the very last moment, no one could predict the final outcome.

"Pity!"

After hearing Chu Xuan's sigh, A Leng hesitated and said, "How about I take the rest of the men and go rescue Tan Yun?"

This was a battle that had been planned for a long time but was also very rushed, so the dozens of gunmen did not participate in the battle.

After firing all their bullets, they quietly retreated to Chu Xuan's side.

Chu Xuan shook his head and said calmly, "There's no need to keep going and getting killed!"

Even with Tan Yun's bravery, he was still unable to lead two thousand men to break through the barbarian army's seven thousand-strong line.

Even if A Leng leads the last few dozen people down the mountain, it will probably be of no use.

However, just as Chu Xuan sighed, A Leng suddenly turned to him and asked, "Did you hear that sound?"

Chu Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What was that sound?"

"The sound of horses' hooves!"

Chu Xuan shook his head with a wry smile and pointed to the battlefield below: "There was already the sound of horses' hooves here!"

However, Ah Leng stubbornly shook her head: "It's not here, it's coming from afar!"

Chu Xuan didn't take it seriously. Although they arrived at this place a day earlier than the barbarian army, they still had a lot to do, such as cutting down trees, setting up barricades, digging pits, and planting landmines.

Before today arrived, there were even concerns about whether the landmines they had laid would work, whether they could hold out for four hours, and whether reinforcements would arrive. The pressure was immense.

Under such pressure, it's normal to experience some hallucinations.

But at that moment, Ah Leng suddenly raised her hand and said, "Look there!"

Chu Xuan looked in the direction Ah Leng was pointing, but it was still pitch black.

However, the next moment, an orange flame flashed and appeared in front of them.

Is this... reinforcements?

Reinforcements have arrived!

Chu Xuan let out a long breath and plopped down on the ground.

The thunderous sound of hooves echoed, and a furious roar reached everyone's ears from afar: "Vanguard General Gao Chong is here! Who dares to be so insolent!"

Seeing that only a few dozen cavalrymen remained in the Great Xia army, He Liuhunlu closed his eyes in anguish.

Just a few dozen more people needed!

He was just one breath away from death!

Once they leave Linyang Pass, the vast land and sky are still at their disposal for the cavalry.

Even if Gao Chong came with his men to rescue us, it wouldn't make a difference!

However, at this point, no amount of thinking will help, and regret will be of any use!

He Liuhun resolutely drew his sword and faced Gao Chong and the others who were rushing towards him.

The sounds of weapons clashing continued until midnight, and by the time the battle ended, all the barbarian soldiers had perished!

Covered in blood, Gao Chong walked up the hillside and saw Chu Xuan sitting alone. He silently went over and stood beside Chu Xuan.

A Leng followed along and whispered, "Tan Yun is still breathing, but he has more than seventy wounds. We've already sent someone to Lucheng!"

Zheng Kewen had a past relationship with Chu Xuan, having exchanged meat before. Seeing Chu Xuan's silent demeanor, he put a hand on Chu Xuan's shoulder and whispered, "It's not that we didn't want to come!"

Chu Xuan shoved Zheng Kewen's hand away, stood up, and yelled, "You didn't do this on purpose?"

"Even if 30,000 pigs were to besiege 10,000 people, they could wipe them out and get here in eight hours, right?"

"None of my two thousand soldiers survived!"

"My best bodyguard has more than seventy wounds and his life hangs in the balance!"

Gao Chong was Zhao Jianhuan's favorite general, and even Meng Cheng wouldn't dare to point his finger at him and scold him like that: "We know the contributions you have made to the Great Xia, but you don't need to give me this attitude. If you're angry, take it out on the soldiers of the aristocratic families!"

Chu Xuan stood up indifferently: "You promised to arrive in four hours, but it took you eight hours to barely get here, and you still have the nerve to shift the blame?"

"Elite?"

"I bother!"

A Leng followed Chu Xuan indifferently, waiting for Chu Xuan to give the order to make a move.

Gao Chong's fists were already clenched, but Zheng Kewen stopped him: "Forget it, brother, this is support that the general personally wrote a letter to request. You don't need to bother with them!"

Gao Chong said with dissatisfaction, "What kind of person is this? General Zhao is such a wise and brave man, how could he ask such a petty person for help!"

Being on the battlefield and witnessing the deaths of soldiers every day, they naturally didn't think that the casualties of two thousand people were a terrible thing.

Seeing Chu Xuan descend the mountain and leave, the two of them also went down the mountain to clean up the battlefield.

But just then, a soldier walked over, looking very troubled: "General..."

Gao Chong said impatiently, "You are the Marshal's personal guards, don't you even know how to handle a corpse? Do I need to teach you?"

The soldier didn't know how to describe the shock he felt, so he could only say, "You should go and see for yourself!"

Although Gao Chong was cursing under his breath, he still followed the soldiers.

Despite having anticipated it, Chu Xuan's soldiers and the barbarian soldiers engaged in a fierce battle.

But when they saw the corpses before them, Zheng Kewen and Gao Chong still couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

Zheng Kewen muttered absentmindedly to himself, "What kind of army is this?"
