Chapter 499: The Anger of the Sun-Chasing King
"Humph, you are lucky!"
Ju Yi snorted coldly and did not continue to hide his incompetence. With this Northern Hun guard around, his plan to massacre the camp today was just a fantasy.
He could have sent this Northern Hun guard away directly, but he would not be able to escape afterwards.
After a burst of destruction in an instant, the Northern Huns' Royal Guards were so weak that even the Military Soul Legion could not use such a powerful move continuously.
In the end, he was caught up by the Northern Hun cavalry and hacked to death in the snow and ice. This was his best ending.
"Halberdiers, retreat!"
"Ready the cloud arrows!"
Ju Yi gave the order with a grim look. He couldn't accomplish any great feat, but he didn't want to just slip away. He still had to teach the lesson he deserved.
As the halberd soldiers retreated, the Northern Huns' soldiers naturally began to move towards the direction of the vanguard, and the range of movement of the vanguard's main formation was compressed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Maximum power! Triple shot! Release!"
Ju Yi took a deep breath and yelled, he knew he couldn't wait any longer. The main target, the Northern Huns' Guards, had not taken the bait yet, and there was not much point in continuing to expose flaws. It would be better for him to just burst out and run away.
The Northern Hun Guards were very aware of the danger and did not surround them together, but instead moved in a roundabout way from a distance.
Only a small number of Northern Hun guards were sent to mix in with the elite Hun soldiers, slowly and continuously putting pressure on the vanguard.
Following Ju Yi's order, the vanguard soldiers condensed the cloud arrows on the heavy crossbows. The sharp sound of breaking through the air was so obvious in the air, but the elite Hun soldiers in front of them had no room to dodge at all.
These elite Huns learned skills from the Northern Huns' royal guards and were aware of the attacks by the vanguard, but the dense military formation made it impossible for them to dodge.
Even if the soldiers had space to dodge, they had no way to avoid the three consecutive shots from the vanguard.
The shooting of the vanguard was different from that of other archer legions. Even the speed of the white horses could not avoid the saturated wall cloud rain of arrows of the vanguard, let alone these elite Hun soldiers.
The three blood-red walls ruthlessly crushed all enemies who dared to block them. Even the Northern Hun guards died on the spot. No matter how skillfully they dodged, they could not avoid the attack of the rain of arrows that was like a wall.
What's more, the arrows that came first were not only more numerous, but also faster and more powerful.
The corpses crushed by the blood-red wall made King Zhui Ri feel extremely cold in his heart. If it weren't for the Northern Huns' guards who instinctively roamed far away, he would have died in this wave.
With his amazing eyesight, he could see the corpses of these soldiers who were beaten to pieces. They were almost a pool of rotten meat. It was hard to associate these with a group of brave elite Hun soldiers from the meat and bones on the ground.
"The entire camp is on alert. No pursuit is allowed. Send out a messenger eagle to inform other tribes of this!"
King Zhuiri was convinced. He gave up the idea of continuing the pursuit and began to reorganize the camp.
He was a little worried that this legion was just a bait and there were more Han troops lying in ambush in the distance, and he didn't want to take any risks.
He would rather find a way to deal with the Han army during the day with the help of the war eagle.
"All soldiers, be on alert, light all the lights, and hold out until dawn!"
This time, Ju Yi only launched a night attack. King Zhui Ri knew without counting that the losses were definitely not great. It could even be said that the biggest losses might have come from the chaos.
There is no telling how many losses there were just from the trampling, and as for the rain of arrows that attacked the first group, only a few hundred were killed.
Although every member of the Northern Huns is valuable, King Zhui Ri is a king after all, and he does not care about the loss of hundreds or thousands of people.
…
"Didn't chase them out? You're really cautious."
Ju Yi lay in ambush for a long time, but found that the Northern Huns had no intention of chasing him, so he had no choice but to give up the ambush and start retreating.
Relying on the deterrent power of the vanguard, he might be able to make the Northern Huns hesitate, but it was impossible to expect that the Northern Huns, who had that kind of imperial guards, would be scared by him.
But Ju Yi didn't care. One night was enough for him to slip away.
When the time comes, we can just lean on Great Britain and divert the trouble to others. It should be okay to ask them to pass through as an ally.
Even if there were problems, there was no way Great Britain would allow the Hun army to hunt him down in his own country, so the escape plan was perfect.
…
"King, hundreds of tents were lost, thousands of people were injured, and more than a thousand people were killed!"
The Xiongnu general who was in charge of counting the losses had a look of helplessness on his face. For the entire royal tribe, such losses were really nothing, and could even be said to be negligible.
However, the impact on the entire tribe was enormous, and the discussion about King Zhui Ri was also quietly increasing. This was the first royal tribe to be attacked in so many years.
The sense of security that the royal tribes used to have is disappearing invisibly, and many Northern Huns have some uneasy feelings. Although they have been appeased, this emotion will never disappear.
He will always lurk in the hearts of these tribal residents, and may even prompt them to leave the Sun-Chasing King Tribe and settle in other tribes.
"Did you receive a reply?"
King Zhui Ri's face was gloomy. He was very clear about what had happened in the tribe. It was completely inevitable, especially his action of letting the enemy leave.
Although it is safe, the seeds of doubt have been planted in the hearts of many tribesmen.
"King, we have received reply letters from several nearby tribes. They will bring their royal guards to join our army today!" King Zhui Ri was in a much better mood after hearing the good news from his subordinates.
If there were enough supporting guards, they could gather a powerful cavalry team to hunt down that damn infantry army.
"Where is Helian Tie?" King Zhui Ri suddenly asked.
"General Helian Tie has returned to the embrace of Kunlun God!" the subordinate said cautiously.
"Send a message to the remaining generals to take their troops to sweep the vicinity. Leave no small tribes alive. No hidden dangers should be left near the tribes!" King Zhui Ri gave the order.
After being suddenly attacked, the surrounding small forces must be cleared out in order to maintain one's own prestige. Only a real victory can restore the hearts of the people in the tribe.
Although the small forces and tribes around have done nothing wrong, living near them is already the biggest mistake.
If you fall behind, you will definitely be beaten. The reason you didn’t get beaten today is simply because I didn’t want to beat you today.
In fact, it is very strange that small tribes also have their own persistence and will not blindly rely on others. This is more realistic among nomadic peoples.
Just like everyone knows which are the most powerful countries in the world.
But after all, only a few people are willing to abandon their own country and join these powerful countries.
