Chapter 408 No prisoners taken!
Wang Li suddenly threw off the camouflage cloth covering his body, drew the sword from his waist, and pointed the blade directly at the long, scattered Xiongnu dragon in the wind and snow.
"The elite warriors of Qin!"
Wang Li roared, "Let these barbarians of the grasslands see what the might of Heaven is! All troops, attack and cut them in half!"
"kill!"
The snowfield instantly erupted in excitement!
Fifty thousand elite Qin troops suddenly sprang up from the snow and charged towards the Xiongnu army.
In knee-deep snow, an infantryman's charge is often only a fraction of the speed of a snail.
but!
With snowboards, you can walk swiftly across the snowfield, as fast as a wolf!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The Xiongnu scout suddenly roared!
The Hun archers, who were trudging along with great difficulty, turned around in horror and saw countless black figures hurtling toward their waists at an incredible speed amidst the swirling snow!
"Qin army! It's the Qin army!"
"How did they get here?!"
The Xiongnu were completely dumbfounded.
"Draw your swords! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!" the Xiongnu generals roared hoarsely.
Since we can't shoot arrows, let's use the close-quarters combat that the grassland people are most proud of!
Southern infantry were no match for steppe warriors in close combat.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sound of swords being drawn rang out in the wind and snow as the Xiongnu, wielding their sharp scimitars, charged towards the Qin army.
However, what awaited them was not the traditional bronze halberds of the Qin army.
Wang Lichong was at the forefront. He didn't use his sword, but instead drew his Mitsubishi military dagger with his backhand!
"Strong wind!"
Wang Li shouted and bumped head-on into a burly Xiongnu centurion.
The centurion grinned and swung his scimitar, attempting to cleave Wang Li's head in two.
But Wang Li was faster!
With the absolute advantage of "an inch longer, an inch stronger", Wang Li's extended Mitsubishi military dagger instantly pierced through the wind and snow and plunged into the centurion's chest.
"Pfft!"
A dull thud as flesh was struck.
The centurion's scimitar froze in mid-air; his eyes widened as he looked down.
This strange weapon has no blade, only three deep blood grooves.
As Wang Li expressionlessly pulled out the thorn, a spurt of blood gushed out from the three blood grooves, instantly staining the white snow in front of him red!
The centurion didn't even have time to let out a scream before collapsing in convulsions.
Blood was flowing profusely; even a miracle couldn't save him!
This scene unfolded simultaneously along a battlefront stretching for miles.
Fifty thousand Qin vanguard soldiers, five thousand Mitsubishi bayonets!
These cold weapons, designed specifically for killing, displayed a terrifying power that sent chills down one's spine.
No complicated chopping or unnecessary movements are required.
prick!
"Devil! They are devils!"
"Their weapons suck blood! My God!"
The Xiongnu archers were completely devastated.
How could they have ever seen such a bizarre and deadly weapon?
Watching their companions fall one by one into pools of blood and convulse, seeing the wounds that could not be covered no matter how hard they tried, the Xiongnu's psychological defenses were completely shattered.
The long, serpentine formation of 50,000 men was completely cut in half by the Qin army's surprise attack, leaving them unable to support each other.
Those in front had no idea what was happening behind them, while those behind only saw limbs and broken bodies scattered all over the ground.
Extreme terror spread among the Xiongnu people. They dropped their scimitars and turned to scramble and crawl across the snow, trying to escape for their lives.
But it was undoubtedly in vain!
"Kill! Leave no one alive!"
Wang Li was like a god of death, his entire body splattered with blood.
"Don't kill me! I surrender!" A young Hun soldier knelt in the snow, raising his hands and wailing in despair.
"His Majesty has ordered that no prisoners be taken!"
A veteran of the Qin Dynasty, with a cold gaze, pierced the man's throat without hesitation with his Mitsubishi bayonet.
The wind and snow continued to howl, but the white snowfield had been completely dyed a dazzling scarlet.
The sweet, pungent smell of blood permeated the air, even overpowering the chill of the wind and snow.
Corpses lay strewn across the fields, and blood flowed like rivers.
……
The Xiongnu royal court, the Chanyu's main tent.
Touman Chanyu, who was drinking heartily and fantasizing about the Qin army freezing to death, suddenly heard deafening battle cries and the neighing of warhorses coming from outside the tent.
Immediately afterwards, through the gap in the felt curtain, he saw the towering flames outside that illuminated the night as if it were daytime!
"Clang!"
The wine bowl in the Chanyu's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
"What's going on? Where did the fire come from?" the Chanyu roared in shock and anger.
Xiang Liang and Ji Dan's expressions changed drastically, and they stood up abruptly.
"Report!!!"
A centurion stumbled into the tent, his voice shrill and shrill.
"Great Chanyu! It's over! It's all over!"
"Qin army! The Qin army is overwhelming! Our right flank camp is on fire! Livestock are scattering everywhere!"
"The 50,000 archers who went to ambush at Baidao... were intercepted and annihilated by the main force of the Qin army! The Qin army can fly on snow, and their weapons are extremely vicious. 50,000 elite troops... were completely wiped out!"
"Thump!"
Touman Chanyu's massive body swayed violently, and he collapsed onto the fireside, his eyes fixed on the centurion who had brought the news, his mind blank.
"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"
The Chanyu muttered to himself, as if in a daze, "The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, how could they possibly fly over? How could they possibly get behind us?"
Xiang Liang, standing to the side, was also filled with disbelief, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.
How could an army of 300,000 men cross the Yinshan Pass without anyone noticing?
Such a marching speed and stealth tactics are simply unheard of!
Wearing a bronze mask, Ji Dan's legs were weak at this moment, and his face beneath the mask was as pale as paper.
"It's Zhang Fan...it must be him! That monster, what kind of sorcery did he use?!"
Just as extreme panic descended upon the main tent.
A horn suddenly rang out in front of the Xiongnu royal court!
That was the clarion call for the Qin army's general offensive!
One hundred thousand Qin cavalry, personally led by Commander Meng Tian, rode on snowboards and charged straight towards Touman Chanyu's royal tent!
"Take no prisoners! Raze the royal tent to the ground!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The shouts of battle, like a death knell, resounded all around!
"This is what you call 'water-cold metal-chilling'?! This is your Qimen Dunjia?!"
Touman Chanyu's eyes turned red. He turned around, drew the curved sword from his waist, and strode towards Ji Dan, who was wearing a mask.
His chest heaved as the blade pressed against Ji Dan's throat, drawing a bloody gash.
"You sorcerer! Not only did you force me to withdraw my ambush troops from the White Road, but you also allowed the Qin army to reach the royal tent! I, the Chanyu, will now cleave you in two as a sacrifice to my banner!"
Feeling the stinging and cold sensation in her neck, Ji Dan froze, unable to speak, her legs trembling.
Just as the Chanyu swung his sword, Xiang Liang rushed forward and grabbed the Chanyu's arm holding the sword.
"The Great Chanyu cannot!"
Xiang Liang shouted to stop him, "To kill a celestial master in battle is a grave taboo in the army!"
The Qin army has now mastered the method of traversing the snow, and is moving at an extremely fast speed, making them a force to be reckoned with.
This was by no means a mistake in the celestial master's calculations, but rather a premeditated plan by the Qin army!
