Dream of the Red Chamber: From a Border Ruffian to a Capital Tyrant

"Let's give it our all!"

Thinking of this, Jia Lang gripped his weapon tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, a look of determination and madness flashing in his eyes, as he launched a desperate charge toward the last obstacle in front of him.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!!"

Jia Lang roared, his voice like thunder, instantly drowning out all the noise on the battlefield.

The thousand iron cavalry behind him roared in unison, their voices converging to form a tangible sound wave that seemed to tear a hole in the dark night sky!

As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, and Jia Lang took the "speed" strategy to the extreme.

Before the Xiongnu's encirclement was completely closed, this black arrow had already plunged deep into the heart of the granary!

"set fire!!"

"Burn as much as you can!"

"Show no mercy!"

Jia Lang raised his heavy hammer high, pointed at the grains and livestock in front of him, and roared with all his might.

"put!"

"put!"

"put!"

The orders were relayed rapidly, like waves.

More than a thousand soldiers moved at the order and threw the torches and tinder they had prepared with all their might at the livestock and tents!

"Whoosh—Boom!"

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

"Moo~ Moo~"

"Meow~ Meow~"

The moment the torches, soaked in kerosene, touched the livestock, the entire pen erupted in panicked screams of the cattle and sheep.

The burning livestock scattered and fled, and the fire spread to the tents and grain.

In an instant, the Xiongnu's temporary supply point was ablaze with fire.

As luck would have it, a strong wind was blowing across the grassland, which fueled the fire and made it even more powerful!

In just a few breaths, those piles of hay, grain sacks, and tents burst into flames several meters high with a loud bang!

Countless sparks burst forth from the tip of the flame, shooting straight into the sky with the gale.

The cattle and sheep, fueled by the flames, ran rampant throughout the stronghold. The red flames flickered and leaped wildly in the black night sky, like a midsummer night filled with countless stars, breathtakingly beautiful yet carrying an aura of death that could destroy everything.

The raging fire instantly illuminated the entire camp, revealing the desperate and panicked expressions on the faces of the Xiongnu people.

"retreat!!"

"Mission accomplished!"

"Don't linger in the fight!"

"Get out of here!!"

Seeing that the fire was beyond extinguishing and that the Xiongnu people were surging in like a tide, Jia Lang made a decisive decision and sounded the retreat horn without hesitation.

The mournful, drawn-out bugle call echoed in the firelight, piercing through the clamor of the battlefield and reaching the ears of every soldier.

.....

At that moment, flames soared into the sky in the center of the Xiongnu camp.

The Xiongnu commander in charge of the outpost was extremely anxious. He rode at breakneck speed, his horse's hooves almost sparking, but he was still a step too late.

When he rushed to the granary, the sight before him made his eyes widen in horror, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

The cattle and sheep that had been piled up like mountains, enough to feed the army for half a year, were now turned into a sea of ​​sparks and were fleeing in all directions.

Flames raged, and billowing black smoke shot straight into the sky, even obscuring the moon.

He had begged and pleaded with Touman Chanyu, even signing a military pledge, to secure this mission of transporting provisions! It was a great achievement and an opportunity for him to establish his authority within the tribe!

Now it's all over! Almost everything was burned to ashes. What can he use to face the Great Chanyu?

What can we use to face the tribe's warriors?

"Damn it!!"

"Damn two-legged sheep! How dare they ruin such an important matter!"

"I'm going to kill you all! I'll kill your whole family!!"

The Hunnic giant gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging like earthworms; he was about to explode with rage.

"Stop them! Everyone, stop them!"

"Whoever let one escape, I'll chop off their head!"

"This household will surely tear these two-legged sheep to pieces, skin them alive!!!"

The Hunnic giant raised his head and roared with all his might. His voice was filled with endless resentment and killing intent, and it was extremely penetrating, echoing in the night sky for a long time.

At this moment, Jia Lang and the others were not far from the head of the household, and naturally they also heard the roar that sounded like a wild beast.

Jia Lang turned his head on horseback and saw, in the firelight, the Xiongnu man was as strong as a bear, holding a huge crescent-shaped blade that gleamed coldly, and exuding a suffocatingly fierce aura, staring intently at him.

Seeing this, Jia Lang raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself:

"No wonder the defenses are so tight; it turns out this stupid bear is personally escorting it."

Although he was not close to this Xiongnu man, Jia Lang, he recognized him as the son of the leader of the Xiongnu noble Lan clan and a fierce general highly regarded by Touman Chanyu.

"It's a small world, but I don't have time for you! Let's go!"

"Get out of there quickly!!"

Looking at the densely packed Xiongnu cavalry surging in from all sides like a tide, Jia Lang gripped his heavy iron hammer tightly and roared once more, his voice echoing across the land.

"kill!!"

"kill!"

The soldiers responded in unison, their shouts filled with a frenzied madness for survival in a desperate situation.

Jia Lang abruptly turned his horse around, once again taking the lead and charging ahead, like an awl piercing the enemy's weak points to clear a path for his troops.

At this moment, Jia Lang had only one thought in his mind, crystal clear:

We must break through the Xiongnu's impenetrable encirclement!

Once trapped in this sea of ​​fire, even a celestial being couldn't save them; ten lives wouldn't be enough to compensate!

Thinking of this, Jia Lang suddenly squeezed his legs tightly around the warhorse beneath him, and even stabbed the horse's belly hard with the spurs.

The warhorse, in pain, let out a long, mournful neigh, its four hooves off the ground, and its running speed increased several times over again, like an arrow released from a bow, or a shooting star chasing the moon, charging forward madly.

"Get lost!!"

With the terrifying momentum of his warhorse's charge and his own incredible strength, Jia Lang swung his heavy iron hammer like a black cannonball at the Xiongnu soldiers blocking his path.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the Xiongnu soldier and his horse were sent flying backward, their bodies tracing a bloody arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, no longer recognizable as human.

However, after only a few dozen breaths, Jia Lang's heart sank.

He discovered that the number of enemies did not decrease due to the general's bravery; on the contrary, they seemed to be endless, growing in number and density!

Countless Xiongnu soldiers, their eyes bloodshot, surged in from all directions, layer upon layer, like countless ants, instantly surrounding the thousand men completely, leaving no way out!
