Chapter 378 Northern Hun Guards
Either live a brilliant but short life, or die a long but gloomy death. The Huns naturally chose the former.
After all, if they lose the glory of the Xiongnu Empire just like the Southern Xiongnu, they will live longer.
"Not good!" Xiahou Dun's face changed drastically. He had a premonition that the Hu people underground might use some big move.
"Changshui Camp, attack with all your might!" Xiahou Dun gave the order hastily. The constantly moving black shadows in the darkness gave him a very bad premonition.
The next moment, Changshuiying raised the longbow in his hand, and shot out the cloud arrows without caring about his life. Hundreds of explosions sounded at the foot of the pass.
The flames of the explosion illuminated the battlefield, allowing Xiahou Dun to see the elite Northern Huns led by Huyan Lin.
"Northern Huns!"
An idea suddenly flashed through Xiahou Dun's mind, and the unreasonable things suddenly became clear. He said, how could the Hu people be so good at fighting? It turned out that the Northern Huns were involved, so everything became reasonable.
Xiahou Dun was very sure that these soldiers underground were definitely not ordinary soldiers. The number of casualties from Changshui's continuous bombing was very small.
He clearly saw the Northern Hun Guards perform evasive movements with unimaginable agility, and while dodging they approached the city wall at high speed, and even had the energy to throw attacks at the wall.
"Super elite, they should be the Royal Guards!" The soldiers of Zhonglei Camp said loudly after controlling the airflow to block the attack.
They were all trained by Huangfu Song. At that time, in order to test the limit of blocking attacks, they were beaten many times. They judged the attack strength of the Northern Huns Guards after just blocking once.
The attacks launched by the Northern Hun guards while dodging were extremely powerful, and even reminded them of the full-scale sniping attacks by the Shesheng Battalion.
"Superb evasive ability, superb reaction ability, and even predictive ability. The movements are extremely flexible, and it seems that it also has special defensive skills."
Xiahou Dun stared at the opposite side without blinking. The more he looked, the more disappointed he felt. The strength displayed by the Northern Huns' Royal Guards was definitely not inferior to any military spirit he had ever seen. If a real fight broke out, the casualties on both sides would definitely not exceed one to two.
Xiahou Dun felt extremely chilled when he saw the Northern Xiongnu Royal Guards who were unscathed after being hit by several explosive arrows. He had seen this kind of elite before. Aren't they the Yulin Guards who were selected during the selection of the Eight Schools of Xiyuan?
In his field of vision, facing the continuous shooting from the Changshui Camp, not a single Northern Xiongnu guard fell. Only the Xianbei Hu people who were affected fell.
No matter whether they relied on blocking, predicting and dodging, or simply resisting, not a single Northern Hun guard was shot and killed by Changshui.
"Use physical arrows! Fire and sniper kill!"
Xiahou Dun no longer hesitated and directly asked Changshui to take out the most valuable thing in the box, which was also one of the trump cards he took away from Qingzhou - the engraved arrow.
Because the Changshui Camp could use cloud arrows, he simply asked each Changshui to abandon ordinary arrows and set off with two bags of engraved arrows.
Now it seems like it was really karma. My momentary greed at that time has now come in handy.
Xiahou Dun had a deeper understanding of his spiritual talents. It seemed that he could artificially decide his own crisis through bad luck or taking advantage.
"What an amazing discovery!" Xiahou Dun's mouth twitched. He took a lot of things with him when he left Qingzhou. Now he's in trouble.
Hundreds of arrows shot from Chang Shui's hands, exploding in the open ground and illuminating the entire battlefield.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of arrows with an obscure aura shot out, and the Northern Hun guards finally began to suffer casualties.
Dozens of Northern Hun guards were unable to dodge and were about to fight back as they had done before, but the arrows pierced through their protective gear and exploded violently.
In just a few breaths, Changshui shot all the engraved arrows into the air. Nearly a hundred Northern Hun guards were killed directly, and many others were injured.
"God Kunlun, our army will win!" Huyan Lin roared with great heartache, and then he developed the talent of the legion to the limit. All the Northern Huns guards behind him also roared, and began to rush towards the city wall with an indomitable momentum.
"Damn it!" Xiahou Dun was a little furious. He played such a big trump card, but in the end, less than one-tenth of the Northern Huns' guards died.
"I should have asked for more soldiers from the Shesheng Battalion. It would be too difficult for Changshui to deal with such elite troops!" Xiahou Dun regretted it deeply. If he had replaced them with 500 soldiers from the Shesheng Battalion, the casualties of the Northern Xiongnu guards would have at least doubled.
As a result, nearly a thousand Hu people who were affected by the marked arrows had died, and the Northern Hun guards managed to minimize the losses.
"Follow me!" Xiahou Dun called out, and brought Xiahou Yuan and the soldiers of the Huben Camp to an area where Huyan Lin was approaching.
At this time, they can only fight head-on and do their best to delay time. He doesn't believe that Changping will watch these Hu people escape . As long as they hold on until reinforcements arrive, the balance of victory will instantly tip towards them.
Huyan Lin jumped onto the city wall with a cruel smile, and was about to pounce on Xiahou Yuan.
"This road is blocked!" Xiahou Dun snorted coldly and thrust his spear directly at Huyan Lin's throat.
Given Xiahou Yuan's injured state, he might be able to fight against small soldiers, but if he really faced Huyan Lin, he might really be defeated at Juyong Pass.
"Then I'll kill you first!" Huyan Lin frowned, and after realizing that Xiahou Dun was also not to be underestimated, he shifted his attention to Xiahou Dun.
"The internal energy has left the body to perfection, which is very good, but it is not enough!" Huyan Lin said in a clumsy Han official language.
Then he swung his sword towards Xiahou Dun with great force. The spear and sword collided, and Xiahou Dun retreated several steps. His hands felt numb at the base of his palms and he almost dropped the weapon in his hands. Huyan Lin's powerful attack caught him off guard.
"Born with supernatural powers?" Xiahou Dun frowned. The guy opposite him was definitely not an ordinary person with internal energy leaving his body. It might be that he had the same ultimate internal energy leaving his body as Xu Chu and Zhang Fei, and his combat power was even enough to fight against Pojie.
"Brother, let me help you!" Xiahou Yuan knew that Huyan Lin was a big trouble as soon as he saw Xiahou Dun's performance.
But the next moment, before Xiahou Yuan could get close, several Northern Hun guards killed their opponents and launched an attack on Xiahou Yuan. Several spears formed an insurmountable gap, separating Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun.
"Puchi!" Xiahou Yuan blocked and chopped left and right, but was still stabbed by a spear. Then several spears were handed over and continued to attack him.
Xiahou Yuan always wanted to kill the enemy, but he lacked the strength. He had not yet recovered from the previous outburst and could only humiliatingly resist the attacks of the Northern Huns' guards.
The soldiers of the Huben Camp were no match for the Northern Xiongnu Guards. The Huben Camp was good at dissipating force and blocking, but the Northern Xiongnu Guards were even better at it than the Huben Camp.
The soldiers of the Huben Camp raised their shields to block the fatal blow from the Northern Xiongnu guards, but the Northern Xiongnu guards easily smashed their spears on their shields to disrupt the Huben Camp's center of gravity, and then easily stabbed their spears into their throats.
"They are the Northern Huns! Kill them!" Xiahou Dun's mind was racing, and finally he just shouted loudly.
"How dare you be distracted while fighting with me!" Huyan Lin snorted coldly, and then continued to attack Xiahou Dun. Now that they have been recognized, they, the Northern Huns, are not afraid to admit it.
"Puff~" Xiahou Dun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Compared to dealing with the Hu people, it would be better to let all the soldiers understand that they were dealing with the Northern Huns so that they could exert their strength.
The battlefield seemed to be silent for a moment, and all the Han soldiers suddenly became violent. They all understood why they subconsciously hated these powerful Hu people before them. It turned out that they were the Northern Huns!
"How could the Northern Huns be so rampant!" The eyes of the soldiers of the Huben Camp were bloodshot after seeing several of their comrades being easily killed by the Northern Huns' guards.
Hundreds of years of blood feud between the Han Dynasty and the Northern Huns was deeply rooted in the blood of all Han people.
To put it bluntly, if you count back a few generations, every ancestor in every family died at the hands of the Huns. The Han Dynasty and the Northern Huns not only had national hatred, but also countless family grudges.
Afterwards, several soldiers from the Huben Camp threw their weapons directly, and after the Northern Xiongnu guards easily pushed them away, they hugged the Northern Xiongnu guards tightly and restrained their opponents' movements.
"Kill him!" Even though he was being stabbed with a knife by the Northern Hun guards, he still shouted out these decisive words in a hoarse voice.
The soldiers of the Huben Camp in the rear raised their swords and killed the bound Northern Xiongnu guards.
As the Huben Camp began to trade lives for injuries, the rate of casualties among the Northern Xiongnu and Huben Camp soldiers began to rise rapidly.
Many soldiers of the Huben Camp ignored the consequences and jumped off the city wall holding the Northern Xiongnu guards, preferring to die rather than drag the Northern Xiongnu guards with them and get injured.
Yes, being injured and falling from the city wall was not enough to kill the Northern Hun guards who mastered the ultimate force-unloading technique, but being injured was inevitable. Under the suppression of the clouds, people were still just people after all.
"hatred……"
The Huben soldier whose chest was pierced by a spear stared at the Northern Huns in front of him, using the last bit of his strength to hold the spear tightly with both hands.
The Northern Hun guards twitched a few times and gave up in vain, then drew their swords to face the next group of Tiger Guards who appeared.
"Die!"
The Northern Hun guard sneered and stabbed his spear at a Huben soldier who failed to dodge in time, but the sudden airflow interfered with his attack, so that the attack was blocked and only the Huben soldier was repelled.
"Thanks, brother!" The Huben soldier took a deep breath, thanked the soldiers of Zhonglei Camp not far away, and then rushed towards the Northern Xiongnu guards.
The soldiers of Zhonglei Camp looked at the Xianbei Hu people climbing up, and could only watch as the Huben soldiers dragged the Northern Xiongnu guards to death together, while he had to control the air flow to fight with the approaching Xianbei Hu people.
The close combat ability of their Zhonglei Camp was even worse than that of the Huben Camp. They could only take over the positions of the Huben Camp soldiers and struggled to resist the Xianbei Hu people who kept climbing up on the city walls. They had no hands to help their comrades.
