The imperial court is ceding territory from our northern border? Then we'll rebel!

Xiao Jingchen chose an extremely cunning timing.

This was precisely the moment when the allied forces of the three races were frequently mobilized due to the killing of the envoy, and the defenses of the entire camp were at their most relaxed and the command at its most chaotic.

Moreover, instead of attacking directly towards Shuobei City, he took a large detour and stabbed into the allied camp from the side and rear, like a red-hot dagger.

The darkness and snow provided the best cover for this surprise attack.

Three thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, led by Xiao Jingchen, moved like a black whirlwind of death.

They don't linger in battle or get bogged down in protracted conflicts.

There was only one goal—to build a large supply depot.

Almost all the barbarian soldiers who tried to stop them were scattered and defeated in the blink of an eye.

Most of these barbarian soldiers had just been awakened from their warm tents by the shouts of battle. Still half asleep and not even fully dressed in their armor, they were swept into the torrent of iron hooves.

The scimitars in their hands were as fragile as paper in the face of the powerful lances and sabers of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

"Pfft!"

Lei Lie decapitated a barbarian centurion with a single stroke, scalding blood spraying all over his face, but he didn't care at all, instead letting out an excited roar.

"That felt great! Damn, that felt so good!"

With each swing of the knife, the pent-up anger in his chest was released a little more.

The cavalry behind him were the same.

They remained silent, yet with the most ruthless actions, they reaped all the lives before them.

There was no pity, no hesitation.

Because they knew that if they slowed down, they would be overwhelmed by the endless enemies behind them.

They were a lone force, soldiers ready to die for their cause.

The only way out lies ahead!

"ignition!"

Xiao Jingchen's voice clearly reached the ears of every cavalryman amidst the chaos of the battlefield.

The hundreds of cavalrymen at the forefront took torches that had been prepared beforehand from their saddles and threw them with all their might at the mountains of grain and fodder.

The torch fell onto the oil-soaked hay, and flames shot into the sky with a "boom"!

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire gained strength from the wind.

In the blink of an eye, the entire grain and provisions camp was engulfed in flames.

The orange flames illuminated half the sky, revealing the terrified faces of countless barbarian soldiers.

"Food supplies! Our food supplies!"

"Fire! Fire!"

Countless barbarian soldiers were in chaos; some carried buckets of water to try to put out the fire, while others wailed in despair by the sea of ​​flames.

The provisions for an army of 300,000 were reduced to ashes right before their eyes.

When Ashina Falcon arrived, this was the hellish scene he witnessed.

His eyes instantly became bloodshot, and his whole body trembled.

"Xiao! Jing! Chen!" He spat out these three words through gritted teeth, his voice filled with endless resentment, "I, Ashina Sun, swear that I will not be human until I have torn you to pieces!"

He saw it.

In the firelight, the black-clad cavalry had already broken through the entire supply depot and were breaking out in another direction.

The leading general, wielding a horizontal sword and draped in a black cloak, moved calmly among the thousands of soldiers, causing men and horses to flee in terror wherever he went.

Who else could it be but Xiao Jingchen!

"Tuge! Where are your wolf riders?" Ashina Sun grabbed a general by the collar, looking like a mad tiger.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, they... they rushed too fast, we... we couldn't stop them..." Tug was terrified.

"Useless trash!" Ashina Sun kicked him aside, drew his golden sword, and pointed it at the receding black torrent. "Chase them! Everyone! Chase them! Even if you chase them to the ends of the earth, tear them to pieces!"

The barbarian cavalry finally realized what was happening.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen surrounded Xiao Jingchen's three thousand iron cavalry from all directions.

The shouts of battle were deafening.

However, Xiao Jingchen seemed to have anticipated this.

Instead of turning back, he led his troops in the exact opposite direction and accelerated once more.

"My lord, they've caught up!" Lei Lie wiped the blood from his face and shouted anxiously, "They're everywhere!"

"What's the panic?" Xiao Jingchen's tone remained calm.

He glanced back at the pursuers surging towards him like a tidal wave, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

What he wanted was for them to come after him.

The camp was in chaos, the troops were scattered, and command was broken.

This is what he truly wants.

"Pass down the order: change formation! Change the wedge formation to a goose formation, and attack from both flanks!" Xiao Jingchen's order was quickly relayed.

The three thousand iron cavalry instantly changed formation, like wild geese spreading their wings.

The cavalrymen on both flanks took off their bows and arrows from their backs, and drew their bows and arrows on the swaying backs of their horses with fluid and graceful movements.

"put!"

With a command, thousands of arrows, whistling sharply through the air, rained down like a dark cloud upon the barbarian cavalry that was hottesting them.

Screams immediately filled the air.

The hundreds of barbarian cavalrymen at the forefront were trampled into mincemeat by their comrades.

The momentum of the pursuit came to a halt.

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry didn't stop at all. After firing a volley of arrows, they immediately put away their bows, switched to swords, and continued their advance.

Create some distance and fire another round.

They perfected this mounted archery tactic of fighting and retreating simultaneously.

Although the barbarian cavalry were also skilled in mounted archery, their arrows and bow strength were simply no match for the elite Xuanjia Iron Cavalry of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Moreover, they were pursuing in chaos, their formation was scattered, and they were unable to form an effective volley.

They could only watch helplessly as the enemy ahead gradually weakened their forces, like peeling an onion, layer by layer, but they could never catch up.

"Bastards! These cowards!" Ashina Jun roared in anger.

He had tens of thousands of cavalry, but he was being led by the nose by a mere three thousand men. He couldn't hit them, and he couldn't catch up with them. This feeling made him so frustrated that he almost vomited blood.

The scholar from the Central Plains caught up at this moment, and his expression became increasingly solemn as he looked at the scene before him.

"Your Majesty, we cannot pursue them any further!" he urged urgently. "Xiao Jingchen is a cunning strategist; he's luring us in! Our main force has been drawn out, leaving our camp vulnerable. What if he has a backup plan..."

"A backup plan? What backup plan could he possibly have?" Ashina Sun was blinded by rage. "He only has so many men! Tonight, even if I have to risk all tens of thousands of them, I'll make sure Xiao Jingchen lives!"
