Chapter 1 The Start

At the same time as they launched their charge, they were constantly making extremely strange noises. Although everyone only felt a bit off temporarily, the warhorses all seemed extraordinarily panicked, as if some kind of fear ingrained in their bones had been aroused.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! Our warhorses all seem to be frightened."

Seeing that his own mount also appeared quite restless, Jiang Chen's heart sank. Previously, Prince Zhennan's heavy cavalry had almost left them helpless. Now, these newly arrived people, like ghosts, charged straight up, even causing the warhorses to panic. This was enough to show that they probably still had some other tricks up their sleeves.

"Replace all the cavalry! Put the warhorses in the back and isolate them! Do not let the warhorses lose their footing at this moment and charge our own lines!"

Thinking of the limited area remaining, Jiang Chen felt utterly distraught.

These warhorses were not like soldiers who could be calmed with a few words. If the warhorses really rioted, he would have no choice but to slaughter them all. Otherwise, once the warhorses went berserk in this narrow space, probably no one would be able to escape with their lives.

Seeing that Jiang Chen's formation had a flaw, Shao Luo, Prince Zhenbei, let out a howl. Finally, his cavalry, like tigers pouncing on their prey, all rushed up at full speed. Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen had no choice but to direct everyone to resist for the time being.

Just as everyone was preparing to cut these unarmored fellows down from their horses, the animal skins they wore gave Jiang Chen's group an unexpected surprise.

When the blades in their hands slashed down, the tips slid away like they were cutting fish scales. Aside from taking off some severed hairs, they could not do anything to the armor made of animal skins.

And the spear formation that everyone had prepared did not even have time to thrust out before these cavalrymen nimbly changed direction and quickly advanced towards another location, leaving Jiang Chen no opportunity to seize them.

Watching these guys running back and forth in the military formation like this, everyone's eyes were red, but they could not do anything about these troubles.

Even if they used all kinds of means to attack, they could not hurt these guys at all. They were like bandits plundering in the autumn, quickly fleeing after a successful strike.

This undoubtedly greatly dampened the morale of Jiang Chen's subordinates. Just when everyone felt a faint desire to flee, Prince Zhenbei let out another wolf howl. These elite troops, as if hearing a summons, quickly headed back to their original camp. When they gathered again in front of Shimen Pass, the number of people charging the formation had not decreased by a single one.

This situation could not help but darken Jiang Chen's face. In this action just now, his side had lost hundreds of people, but the other side had successfully escaped unscathed.

Perhaps sensing the anger in Jiang Chen's heart at this moment, Prince Zhenbei, who had just been disdainful and provocative, slowly walked out on his tall horse.

"I really didn't expect that I originally thought you were some kind of elite troops that could defeat our dignified Prince Zhennan, but now it seems you are just a rabble."

"I heard that your commander is your current emperor. How about this? Have that emperor come out and kowtow to me a few times, and I will temporarily call a truce. When Prince Zhennan is killed by you, I will send troops again, how about that?"

Such an arrogant and domineering attitude naturally aroused much dissatisfaction among the crowd, but when someone was preparing to volunteer to go out and teach this arrogant opponent a lesson, Jiang Chen reached out and held them back.

After all, Jiang Chen had seen the combat effectiveness of these cavalrymen. The reason they were shouting so loudly now was to disrupt their own military morale, so that they would have the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

After all, the other party seemed to have launched an attack just now, but in reality, they had been retreating after each strike, and had been flanking on the side, never confronting head-on.

"These guys are good at destroying surgical targets. If we go out to meet the enemy now, I'm afraid we will fall into their trap. I already knew that the Xiongnu had many talented people, and now I see that it is indeed the case."

After discovering that these people were just shouting and quickly passing by in front of the formation, Jiang Chen became more and more certain of his judgment.

However, Jiang Chen did not change his previous methods. After confirming the current actions of these people, Jiang Chen still kept an eye out. If the other party was really only good at flanking, they would definitely not continue to shout like this. In other words, these people definitely still had some tricks that he did not know about.

"Notify the brothers to hide the giant horses and spears used to counter cavalry in a concealed manner. If I guessed correctly, after a few more times, he will have these cavalrymen launch an attack on our formation."

As soon as Jiang Chen gave the order, countless people began to act. Watching the personnel mobilization behind Jiang Chen, Prince Zhenbei did not take it seriously at all. Now it can be said that he has occupied almost all the advantages. As his soldiers approached, the soldiers at the front line would take a step back, which had already achieved his goal of deterring Jiang Chen.

"I said, how could a team like this defeat you? Aren't you too useless?"

Hearing Prince Zhenbei's ridicule, Prince Zhennan chuckled. He was the one who truly understood how terrifying Jiang Chen was, and he was unwilling to have any more encounters with Jiang Chen. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but directly lead his subordinates towards Shimen Pass, slowly retreating.

"Since you are so powerful, I will leave this great achievement to you. I will not interfere in these matters. But before that, you better be mentally prepared. This guy's strength may be stronger than you think."

After speaking, Prince Zhennan chose to leave without looking back. No matter how Prince Zhenbei sneered, he was completely unwilling to pay attention. After realizing that something seemed to have gone wrong, Prince Zhenbei helplessly shrugged his shoulders. Although he failed to bring in more cannon fodder, judging from the situation just now, it was only a matter of time before he captured Jiang Chen. Thinking of this, his heart swelled unprecedentedly. Now, once he could completely defeat Jiang Chen here, he would be highly successful next, and he would no longer care about anyone. He could even return to the most prosperous grassland in a legitimate manner.

"Brothers, you have all seen the combat effectiveness of those people on the opposite side. Do you have the confidence to completely defeat them in one fell swoop!"

With a shout, many of the soldiers who were standing aside responded.
