Chapter 397: Lord Su Defeats the Enemy with Laughter

The Xianbei envoy came to Su Yao's camp, raised his neck, and said condescendingly:

"You Han people!"

"I'm warning you, this is my Xianbei territory."

"You have intruded without permission, which is extremely disrespectful. You should withdraw your troops immediately and save some dignity."

"If you insist on doing so, my leader will be furious and will send 30,000 cavalrymen to attack you. We will make sure that you are drenched in blood and there will be no return!"

ho-

How many dishes are there to drink like this?
Under Su Yao's tent, Lu Bu, Cheng Lian, Zhang Fei and others were glaring with anger, while Liu Bei, Qian Zhao, Zhao Yun and others also had angry expressions on their faces.

Su Yao himself did not expect that, although he always issued ultimatums to others, he would now receive one himself.

However, although this Xianbei envoy was so arrogant, he was not acting blindly.

The tufa leader sent out this envoy group not only to reprimand and warn Su Yao, but also to understand the enemy situation.

And he had already figured out the general situation along the way.

This team is quite large, with about five to six thousand people.

However, there were less than two thousand soldiers capable of fighting, and the number of well-equipped Han troops among them was even smaller.

How could he not feel contempt for the miserable scene of so many women, children, the elderly and the weak, with their families?
Lord Suli has tens of thousands of elite cavalry under his command, and even their own tribe can easily recruit more than two thousand combat-ready soldiers.

Seeing such a huge gap, the envoy couldn't help but feel arrogant.

And all of this, in Su Yao's eyes, is:
"If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you. I'll see you get beaten!"

"You, what did you say?!"

When the Xianbei envoy heard Su Yao’s words, his eyes widened.

However, before he could speak, Su Yao sneered:

"Pinggangdao has been the territory of our Han Dynasty since ancient times."

"You Xianbei thieves, you invaded my territory, killed my people, and yet you still dare to speak nonsense here. It's really ridiculous!"

"You..." The Xianbei envoy was intimidated by Su Yao's momentum. He was speechless for a moment and his face turned red.

"Our army is heading to Liaodong this time, and we don't want to cause any trouble."

"But if you are so ungrateful and insist on causing trouble, I don't mind taking back our homeland ahead of time and making you pay for your blood debt with blood!"

Upon hearing this, the Xianbei envoy's eyes widened with anger, and he was about to retort, but Su Yao waved his hand, motioning Lu Bu and others beside him to come forward and surround him.

"You, what do you want to do?" The Xianbei envoy was horrified and asked in a timid tone.

"Nothing, I just want to ask the messenger to go back and tell your leader."

Su Yao waved his hand:

"Either get out of the way or prepare to face the wrath of our cavalry."

The messenger returned in a panic, and the bald top laner was furious.

But compared to the arrogant messenger, he was much more cautious.

After all, the Han army instigated the Wuhuan to attack, and it might be a trick to cause both sides to suffer losses.

They didn't care how many Wuhuan people died, but every death of one of his own men was a great loss to him.

Fortunately, he did not expect to withdraw his troops and avoid disaster just by relying on the envoy's words.

After learning that the Han people were migrating with a tribe of thousands of people, he made up his mind not to confront them head-on but to harass them by cavalry.

The bald top laner’s plan is very clear.

With such a large team, it's impossible for you to take care of everything.

Moreover, the Han army had only a very small number of elite cavalry, and the majority were volunteer soldiers of the Wuhuan people.

Those people were old rivals in the past.

If the Wuhuan people had not relied on the valley terrain and the walls of Pinggang City, they would have been no match for his Xianbei warriors.

And now, these people actually took the initiative to leave the valley and come to his territory in this cold winter season which is not suitable for fighting.

The bald top laner thought that he had the advantage of time, place and people, and that he was definitely in the right position! He could use the terrain advantage to constantly harass the enemy's weak points, undermine their morale, disrupt their march, and delay them until help was available.

"Talo, Rama!"

The bald top laner said:
"I order you to lead the elite cavalry of our tribe to harass the Han army and make them have no peace for a moment!"

"As you command, Chief!"

The two Xianbei generals who were named, Talo and Rama, responded in unison, with fighting spirit flashing in their eyes.

They quickly gathered the elite members of the tribe, each with a squad of two to three hundred cavalrymen. They wore light leather armor, held spears and scimitars, and had leather bags full of arrows hanging around their waists. Together with other scouts, they formed a cavalry team and disappeared into the vast snowfield in small pieces.

They took advantage of the familiar terrain and approached the Han army quietly, preparing to launch a surprise attack when night fell or when the Han army showed some slackness.

The target, of course, is the women, children and civilians who have no power to fight back.

However.
"Report - Leader Talo was killed in battle, and the entire team was wiped out."

"Report - Leader Rama was killed in battle, and the whole team was wiped out."

"Report-Report-Report-"

After hearing this series of news, Baldy's bald scalp felt numb and he felt unwell.

As the chief guarding the frontier, Tufa Shangdan believed that his reaction to the Han army's attack was very quick.

After learning that he did not have an absolute advantage in numbers, he actively sought help, organized his troops and prepared for war, and even sent out his two trusted generals, Talo and Rama, to lead a small team to attack and harass the enemy.

However, the news brought back by the defeated soldiers made him drop his jaw and his body tremble uncontrollably.

His team's result was... a complete defeat.

No victory at all!
"How could it be like this?!"

The bald top laner's face turned pale and his fists clenched. He never expected that the newly arrived Han army would be so powerful and kill them without any chance of fighting back.

And they actually wiped out his entire cavalry harassment team?

"How can this be?!"

"Chief, what should we do?" a general asked anxiously.

The bald top laner took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner panic.

He understood that it was now a matter of life and death.
After being completely defeated in the scout battle, the bald top laner was shocked to find that the two sides were not opponents of the same level at all.

That devilish Han general not only brutally killed all his scouts, but also released one person each time to report to him as a demonstration.

The outrageous legends they brought back about the Han people sounded simply unbelievable to him.

What invulnerable red knight?

There were also warriors who were as brave as the Chanyu's guards, holding all kinds of strange weapons such as halberds and long swords.

What's even more outrageous is that they actually preached that not only was the opposing general young, but he was also able to chase more than a dozen of them by himself, and could shoot an arrow through a hundred steps away.

It was hard for the bald top laner to tell how much of this was true and how much was the panic-stricken imagination of the defeated soldiers, but he immediately gave orders and repeatedly reminded these people not to talk nonsense.

However, under the tribe's almost non-existent management, rumors about the Han army's invincibility spread like wildfire.

The morale of the army was in turmoil, and he had to make a decision as soon as possible:

"Pass the order, everyone enter a state of emergency, move women, children, the elderly and the weak northward and hide them. At the same time, all young and strong men must take up arms and prepare for the worst."

"We must hold on until reinforcements arrive, sir!"

"The Han army is small in number. As long as Lord Yuri arrives, they will be doomed."

"Now, let them enjoy themselves in this icy and snowy place for two days."

——"Are you scared now?"

"It's not even a warm-up."

On the way, facing the shameless behavior of the bald top laner who flirted and then ran away, Su Yao curled his lips:

"If you're done, it's my turn."
