Gao He Shu led the Rouran Brothers, providing cover from behind. Due to the new recruits forming a human wall, their crossbows could not be utilized effectively, forcing them to break through alongside Xu Zhen to the left and right.
He was slightly shorter than Zhou Cang, but he was equally heavy, causing his horse to struggle under the weight and fall behind a bit. Spotting the Iron Thorn and Iron Thorn Bud left by Tu Han, Gao He Shu was overjoyed, as he had been worried about not having a suitable weapon. As he rode past, he managed to grab the Iron Thorn Bud.
Murong Xiao observed that Xu Zhen's soldiers were well-armored and crouched low on their horses, employing a concealed tactics strategy. As they approached from both sides, Feathered Arrow could no longer be effective, prompting him to command the cavalry to launch a decisive attack!
The main force of two hundred Brothers from Xu Zhen had rarely suffered casualties. At this moment, they were joined by over two hundred Brave Warriors Camp Brothers led by Xue Dayi. The iron hooves surged like a tide from the left side of the human wall, with new recruits crying out in desperation. In the face of life and death, who had time to feel ashamed of their failures?
Murong Xiao and Xu Zhen were sworn enemies; how could he allow them to escape and leave future troubles? He immediately raised his arm and shouted. The soldiers of Tu Han Division lost their leader and became disoriented in the chaos. Seeing Murong Xiao take control of the situation, countless followers rallied around him. The troops surged forward like a flood, swords and spears raised, charging towards Xu Zhen for a slaughter!
"Boom!"
The two sides collided like mountains made of muscle crashing together. At the point of impact, horses and men were thrown into disarray, blood sprayed into the air, and the sound of metal clashing was sharp and piercing. Blades and spears plunged into flesh with a cacophony of sounds as horses fell with broken legs and severed heads.
The melee began anew, with Xu Zhen at the forefront. Having already charged far ahead, upon seeing her rear guard cut off, she immediately sheathed her sword and drew her Carved Bow. She shot several arrows rapidly to suppress the enemy's momentum before leading her Brothers back into battle!
Qin Guang led the remaining four hundred Brave Warriors Camp Brothers through the right side of the human wall. Every enemy they encountered fell headless without exception!
Just as they were about to break through, an old general clad in Mingguang Armor from the Tuguhun emerged forcefully, splitting the Riding Team in two—it was Murong Geerhe!
Murong Hanzhu controlled the direction of the battle, continuously issuing commands to his flag bearers. The remnants of Tu Han Division obeyed without question; in order to survive, they followed Murong Geerhe and his son as they slaughtered fiercely like wolves!
Xu Zhen finished shooting a flask of Feathered Arrows; her Carved Bow slung across her back, she swung her long knife to rescue many Brothers. The hooves were frantic, soldiers screamed and roared; their vision slowly turned red-black as every drop of strength seemed drained from their bodies. Yet they could only continue pushing forward—any moment of relaxation could mean death; no one dared to be careless!
Fortunately for her main force, they had scavenged quite a bit of sturdy armor and sharp weapons along their way. Spears and sabers were long weapons that provided them with a significant advantage.
The Brothers of the Brave Warrior Camp were merely equipped with standard sabers, while Qin Guang was accustomed to using his dual swords. Xue Dayi and a few other captains wielded their own knives, and amidst the clash, they surprisingly lost quite a number of men!
The Xu Zhen originally intended to break through, but with Murong Ge'erhe and his son leading the charge, the Riding Team's momentum slowed as if they were stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult to escape. The Brothers were continuously knocked off their horses, causing her heart to bleed with urgency!
"Consolidate our forces! Consolidate our forces!" Zhang Jiunian was an advisor rather than a military strategist like Murong Hanzhu. At this critical moment, seasoned warriors Zhou Cang and Gao He Shu stepped forward, carrying the corner flags and rushing to help unite the two flanks. If this chaotic battle continued, they would surely be dragged down!
The Brothers gradually gathered around the corner flags, but Murong Hanzhu seized the opportunity to rally the surrounding infantry, wielding large shields and long spears, forming a siege formation!
"My Lord! If we don't break through soon, we will die!" Zhou Cang shouted anxiously after knocking down an enemy rider with his blade. The Xu Zhen was entangled with an enemy soldier; distracted for just a moment, she received a cut on her thigh. In anger, she swung her long knife horizontally, severing the enemy's entire jaw!
Wiping the blood from her face, the Xu Zhen shouted hoarsely, "Charge with me!"
Her Azure Wind Antelope reared up and charged forward like the wind with the Xu Zhen atop it. Zhou Cang and Gao He Shu followed closely behind, while Qin Guang and Xue Dayi took positions on either side. Behind them, the Brothers had dwindled to less than six hundred!
If it weren't for Murong Ge'erhe and his son suddenly breaking through and cutting off Tu Han's head at Xu Zhenbu's hands, they would have surely gained fame among the Tang army. However, at this moment, their lives hung by a thread, and it was frustrating and heartbreaking to see their efforts about to go to waste!
The Xu Zhen rode fiercely into the enemy ranks, trampling shield-bearing foes under her horse's hooves. However, an enemy spear pierced the neck of her Azure Wind Antelope!
With a swift swing of her long knife, she cleanly severed the enemy's spear shaft. Yet ultimately, the Azure Wind Antelope fell to the ground. The Xu Zhen rolled off and took a few steps forward before steadying herself. With her long knife flashing coldly, she decapitated an Achai in one swift motion!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Brothers' warhorses broke through the enemy lines like sharp bows cutting through waves, creating a triangular gap. However, the enemies quickly surrounded them again, and the fallen Brothers found themselves in a bloody battle!
Xu Zhen's thigh bled profusely, but she had no time to tend to it. Gritting her teeth against the pain, she hurried a few steps before breaking into a run. With a swift strike, she severed the spearhead, stepped onto the enemy's shield, and leaped into the midst of the enemy ranks. Her long knife spun like a windmill, sweeping through two or three legs, while a spear pierced her ribs and shoulder!
Seeing Xu Zhen so fearless inspired and shocked many of her brothers. Their eyes turned blood-red as they roared and charged into the enemy lines. The Salar Tribe's Brothers, witnessing Son of Ahura's injuries yet fierce as wolves and tigers, felt as if they were blessed by the gods—invincible and immortal. Flames ignited in their hearts as they swung their sabers, cleaving heads and severing legs, leaving rivers of blood in their wake. They resembled demons from hell!
The Tuguhun Achai were equally reckless, yet after experiencing Xu Zhenbu's sudden attack, their spirits had been severely shaken, leaving an indelible shadow in their hearts. Now, seeing Xu Zhenbu’s forces fighting desperately, they felt a momentary fear. Fortunately, relying on their numbers, they only surrounded from a distance, preventing the enemy from escaping while slowly using spears and other long weapons to wear down Xu Zhenbu’s Tang army.
The two hundred new recruits acting as a human wall took advantage of the chaos; they cut their ropes with fallen swords and knives. In an instant, they scattered like birds and beasts, with no one daring to turn back to help Xu Zhen and her Comrades escape!
"This bunch of worthless dogs!" Duan Zan exclaimed as he shook his Spear, droplets of thick congealed blood splattering from the blade. His armor was already torn, with a long gash across his left chest that was shocking to behold. However, seeing Xu Zhen in worse condition filled him with deep respect. With no distractions left in his heart, he brandished his Spear and charged forward again!
Hou Polu and Zhang Shenzhi attempted several times to escape amidst the chaos alongside the new recruits but seeing Duan Zan fighting to the death, they could only grit their teeth and follow closely behind.
Just as Xu Zhen got back on her feet, a long spear lunged at her from the side. She used her long knife to hook onto the spear shaft and swept it upward, leaving her opponent with only half a fist!
The enemy was blinded by rage; unable to grip the spear tightly with half a fist, he simply abandoned it and lunged into Xu Zhen's embrace. They rolled on the ground for several steps as he opened his mouth to bite at her neck!
In true cold weapon warfare, it was not as cinematic as portrayed; both sides were as cruel and bloody as primitive beasts, numbing human hearts and extinguishing humanity—only the primal instinct for survival remained!
Xu Zhen pressed her knee against his body while her long knife was pinned beneath her back. As she saw him about to bite her neck, she reached for her waist and pulled out a throwing knife, stabbing it directly upward into his jaw!
"Thud!"
Blood sprayed all over Xu Zhen, while the enemy continued gnashing his teeth with eyes filled with unwillingness and hatred. This scene deeply imprinted itself on Xu Zhen's soul; perhaps it would become an indelible nightmare that accompanied her every night into sleep.
If it were the inexperienced Murong Xiao from the beginning, he would have focused all his efforts on killing Xu Zhen. However, his character has grown, and he now possesses the demeanor of a great general. Under the guidance of Murong Hanzhu, once he entered Zhangye Domain, he consistently achieved great victories. Yet now, he disregarded Xu Zhen and was solely intent on slaughtering Xu Zhenbu's soldiers. As long as he could eliminate Xu Zhen's subordinates, how could the mere Xu Zhen hope to escape?
However, at this moment, Xu Zhen was like a strong crossbow nearing its end, being firmly suppressed by the fallen Soldier. Murong Xiao seized the opportunity and rushed forward, grabbing a spear along the way and throwing it with all his might. It seemed destined to pierce a large hole in the back of Xu Zhen's head!
Xu Zhen had just turned her head when her heart sank!
"Clang!"
At a critical moment, a spear flew in from afar, deflecting Murong Xiao's thrown spear. The spear spun away, but its tip still left a bloody mark on Xu Zhen's face!
Xue Dayi threw his spear to save his lord. With no weapon left in hand, an enemy with a curved blade swung down at him. Xue Dayi roared and dodged the blade, crashing into the enemy's arms and knocking him to the ground. He ripped off the enemy's helmet and smashed it down onto the enemy's head and face repeatedly until it was utterly ruined!
Having narrowly escaped death, Xu Zhen hurriedly got up, but her thigh wound tore open again, forcing her to half-kneel. Murong Xiao had already reached her side, sweeping his curved blade and forcing Xu Zhen back two or three steps until she stumbled and fell.
"Fury!"
Murong Xiao roared to the heavens, rallying his soldiers' spirits as Xu Zhenbu faced utter defeat!
Looking around at the surroundings, Xu Zhenxin felt desolate. Fighting so desperately for what? In the end, it was destined to be A Dream of Yellow Millet—achieving nothing at all. It would be better to live as a minor Wuhou in Chang'an, eating and waiting for death in peace.
Yet seeing so many brothers fighting for their lives, how could he easily give up? He pushed himself up with his long knife, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he charged directly at Murong Xiao!
Murong Xiao coldly laughed to himself; even with Xue Dayi added to her side, Xu Zhen was no match for him now. Taking Xu Zhen's head would be as easy as reaching into his pocket!
As he raised the curved knife in his hand, Murong Hanzhu signaled to retreat!
Murong Hanzhu was also helpless; his focus was not on the battlefield of Xu Zhen but on the movements of Zhangye City!
There were not many reinforcements in Zhangye City. Even if Rugged Camp experienced a riot, the people in the city would likely suspect a trap and would not dare to rush to aid. However, Murong Hanzhu remained uneasy.
In fact, his caution proved to be very correct. Just as they were about to annihilate Xu Zhenbu here, Zhangye City indeed mobilized its troops!
In this battle, Murong Geerhe and his son turned the tide. Although they suffered significant losses in the Tu Han Division, it could still be considered a small victory. If they did not withdraw while ahead, their achievements would be ruined by Qibi Helix!
Murong Xiao initially intended to kill Xu Zhen before retreating, but unexpectedly, Xu Zhen was incredibly tenacious. Despite being heavily wounded in several places, she stood firm, and with Xue Dayi guarding her, it was difficult to take her life at that moment!
In desperation, Murong Xiao had no choice but to give up the excellent opportunity to kill Xu Zhen. He seized a warhorse and led the remnants of Tu Han's troops westward!
They had already taken control of the military power of Tu Han. For Tu Han, it might be the greatest defeat, but for Murong Xiao, it was a significant victory!
With this achievement in battle, he could head north to Ganzhou and secure a place under Ashina King's command!
