Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 95 Military Power (Part )

The gravel in the valley was kicked up by the horses' hooves and mixed with the smell of blood, condensing into a red mist.

Lu Shang was in the red fog, his eyes sweeping over these Fuli cavalrymen.

"kill!"

After a moment of silence, the Fuli cavalrymen opened their eyes wide and roared like wild beasts. Immediately, dozens of them rushed towards Lu Shang frantically.

"You're in good time,"

Lu Shang laughed loudly, stretched out his arms like an ape, and dug his five fingers like hooks into the cracks in the opponent's armor. The knotted muscles and tendons rolled like a python under the skin.

"open!"

The sharp sound of the breastplate tearing pierced the surrounding valley walls. Lu Shang's fingertips dug into the flesh and pulled off the large piece of breastplate.

Then, he stretched out his arms, like a fierce dragon parting the sea, and with each hand he seized the helmet of a Fuli cavalryman. The next moment, the sound of metal clashing erupted as two heads wearing bronze helmets collided with a loud bang.

clang!
The bronze helmet was dented, and Lu Shang held the two corpses with his five fingers turned upside down and swung them, causing armor and flesh to splatter and the remains to fly everywhere.

"Mang Gusi,"

"He is Manggusi,"

Lu Shang's cruelty and brutality frightened these affiliated cavalrymen.

Although under the influence of the vampires, they are all fearless and unafraid of death.

But no matter how fearless he was, he still couldn't help feeling terrified when he saw his companion being smashed into a pulp.

However, although these Fuli cavalrymen were frightened, none of them retreated.

It was not until the last Fuli cavalryman had his spine shattered by Lu Shang's heavy blow and his twisted body fell to the ground that the entire valley became quiet.

"General, shall we continue to chase?"

Wei Cheng looked at the scattered bodies and broken armor at his feet and asked softly.

"The opportunity has been lost, there is no need to chase it anymore,"

Looking at the end of the valley, Lu Shang sighed. This group of Fuli cavalry fought to the death and bought Datou too much time.

Don't think that just because Lu Shang killed these Fu Li people quickly and efficiently, this group of people are no different from ordinary Turkic cavalry.

Each of these people has a strong body and great strength, and ordinary Turkic cavalry are not enough for them to kill.

Even if Wei Cheng and others fought against them, it would not be difficult to defeat them, but it would take a lot of effort to kill them.

Boluhun asked, "Then, shall we withdraw our troops?"

Lu Shang hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's no need to withdraw. We failed to kill Datou this time, and this bandit will never give us another chance to attack his camp."

"Come with me and go to the old camp at Jinshan. The 300,000-man army is now in disarray. The people of the Ten Arrows Tribe, the Western Regions, and the Tiele tribes are unstable. We should strike back and surprise them."

"Yes,"

Wei Cheng and others responded in unison.

"Walk,"

Lu Shang turned his horse around, whistled, and rode away.

Boluhun held the wolf banner high in the back, and Wei Cheng and other cavalry followed closely behind.

The late spring rain, carrying the fishy smell of the grassland, fell on the armor. Lu Shang raised his hand and gently wiped away the sticky blood between his brows.

This was the liquid that splashed on his forehead when he tore apart the group of cavalrymen just now.

He looked at the old camp of Jinshan in the distance, where trumpets were blowing continuously, gathering the scattered troops.

The 5,000 heavily armored cavalry of the White Huns were ultimately outnumbered and fled in defeat. The dust raised by their horses' hooves gradually dissipated in the rain, leaving only the old camp in chaos.

The Turks outside the old camp were still catching their breath from Lu Shang's previous raid and the defection of their vassal White Huns when they suddenly heard a tremor in the ground.

The tremors came from far away and in the blink of an eye, like a surging wave, sweeping in. The Turkish sentry stared wide-eyed, looking towards the source of the sound.

"Enemy attack," the sentry shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the noisy rain and hurried footsteps.

------

Downstream of the Yide River,
Tou Luo, the leader of the White Huns who had just broken out of the old camp at Jinshan, stood by the river with a sinister look on his face.

"Chief, what should we do next?"

A general stood behind Toula and asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do? Since we have already decided to rebel, what other choice do we have besides relying on the photo?"

Toula clenched his fists and said, "Pass on my order. Arrange the troops and march towards Shetu's camp immediately. Now I just hope Shetu won't go back on his word."

"Yes,"

The general received the order and was about to retreat.

Toula called out to him again, saying, "Wait, send people along the way to spread the news that the White Xiongnu leader rebelled against Datou because the Great Khan Shetu had an agreement with him to reward the White Xiongnu with the Jishishuifeng."

The general was surprised and asked, "Chief, what are you doing?"

Tou Luo snorted coldly and said, "Fool, if you don't spread the news, what will we do if Shetu breaks his promise and gets rich?"

"Shetu's strength is not as good as Datou's to begin with. Now he relies on the support of the Sui people to barely compete with Datou."

"Many Turkic tribes do not obey Shetu. Once they know that Shetu has broken his promise, they will be even less likely to obey him."

"How can a dignified Turkic Khan, who is a man of his word but does not keep his word, convince others?"

The general understood and immediately took the order and left.

Just when Toura was thinking about how to use the power of Shetu to get the Jishiki water that the tribe members were longing for.

"Chief, Chief,"

A scout, soaked all over, came running from a distance, jumped off his horse, stumbled to Tou Luo, and knelt on one knee.

"Captain, the old camp at Jinshan is in chaos. Shaboluo Khan's army has raided the old camp again. The old camp was caught off guard and is in disarray."

Toula's eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked, "How many troops did Shetu send to Jinshan?"

The scout hesitated for a moment and replied, "It seems that it is still the same few thousand cavalrymen."

"A few thousand cavalry? With just a few thousand cavalry, they dared to attack the Jinshan Old Camp with 300,000 troops twice. If they had tens of thousands of cavalry, wouldn't they have the courage to attack Yudujin Mountain?"

Toula exclaimed in amazement: "Incredible, truly incredible, Shetu actually has such a powerful general under his command!"

With only a few thousand cavalrymen, they dared to charge back and forth in the old camp of hundreds of thousands of garrisons. Such courage made Tou Luo amazed.

These are hundreds of thousands of garrisons, not hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep. They will allow themselves to be driven away without resistance.

The general beside him couldn't contain his excitement and stepped forward and said, "Chief, this is a good opportunity. Why don't we take advantage of the chaos and fight back?"

Tou Luo frowned and didn't answer immediately. When he rushed out from the old camp at Jinshan, his 5,000 heavily armored cavalry had already suffered many casualties.

According to the current situation of the White Huns, the heavy cavalry will be reduced with each death, and they really cannot afford the loss.

"Don't act rashly,"

Tou Luo said calmly, "We just escaped from the old camp at Jinshan, and we've suffered heavy casualties. If we fight our way back, what's the difference between that and trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire?"

"leader!"

Another scout came on horseback, and when he was almost next to Tou Luo, he pulled the reins hard, and the horse neighed loudly and fell off.

"The cavalry that raided the Jinshan old camp are now marching in this direction after leaving the old camp."

Tou Luo was stunned and asked, "What? They broke out of the old camp so quickly, and are coming towards us?"

"Yes, they are marching very fast. They will be here in half an hour at most."
