Chapter 25: Shooting the Great Eagle with a Bent Bow (3)

  "Puppy, do you think you're worthy?" Zabul sneered, riding his horse and raising his sword to block the large blade that was swung at him. He coldly laughed and said: "Where's that old dog Wumeng? Why doesn't he dare come and fight me? Won't he really become so old that he can't even hold a knife?"

  The two horses crossed each other and turned back, each circling around. Zabul took the opportunity to exercise his slightly numb arms, mocking in his mouth, but secretly surprised by Ekto's strength.

  He is now also over fifty years old, and his physical strength is no longer what it used to be. Although he is known for his bravery in battle, when facing the vigorous and robust Ertai, who is in the prime of his life, he dares not underestimate him in the slightest, and instead uses words alone to try to unsettle his mind.

  Ekko ignored his words and gritted his teeth, raising his massive axe once more as he charged forward with renewed vigor.

  Zhabul's eyes were cold and stern, and he shouted angrily as he spurred his horse forward. Just as the two horses were about to meet, a sudden cry of alarm rang out beside Zhabul's ear.

  He was startled in his heart, and in the midst of his busy schedule, he raised his head and narrowly dodged Aketo's large axe. He immediately looked around and saw that his face had changed greatly, and his heart was racing with anxiety.

  At this moment, the white-robed young general had already killed all of He Lian's personal guards and was now chasing after him with his spear, riding his horse.

  He Huan's large banner was also abandoned, his hat fell off, and the shaved top of his head glistened in the moonlight. Seeing that the last bodyguard had fallen to the ground clutching his throat, he let out a loud cry of surprise and galloped away on horseback.

  "General Zhao, stop him! That's the leader!" someone in the crowd excitedly shouted. It was none other than Batur, who had been beaten by Zhao Yun and left powerless to fight back.

  He was defeated that night, but he recovered after resting for a night. The grassland men have always worshipped heroes, and towards Zhao Yun who defeated him, Bao Duo had nothing but admiration in his heart, without any resentment.

  Later on, I also heard that Liu Zhang had taken action to save himself that night, and I couldn't help but feel shocked and ashamed.

  Later, Anqi'er ended up with Liu Zhang after all. Although he was disappointed, he wasn't a narrow-minded person. Apart from secretly blessing Anqi'er, he also gave up on that thought.

  This time, Wū Méng was finally persuaded by Liu Zhāng, and his tribe surrendered. He decided to fight against Zabur after that. Liu Zhāng sent scouts to gather information about the enemy while personally inspecting the terrain and devising a strategy. This led to a series of confusing and luring tactics, including storing water to flood the enemy army.

  The troops who were sent to the upstream to break the dam and then kill the remaining enemies, Liu Zhang let E Kuo Tuo and Zhao Yun lead together, Ba Dou admired Zhao Yun's martial arts and followed him closely.

  After the big water, the soldiers of the Wumeng Department saw that they were all in high spirits, and they took advantage of their victory to kill them. Zhao Yun only hoped to kill many people, and coincidentally, his target was locked on He Lian. However, E Kuo's horse ran slowly, and when he caught up, he happened to meet Zha Bu who came back to save He Lian.

  As soon as he saw that big flag, he naturally knew that whoever could use such a thing as a symbol must be the lord of a large clan.

  The grassland battlefield, being able to behead the enemy general would be the greatest honor. Since Batu had discovered Hejian's great banner, how could he let him go? He looked over here all along and that was why there were shouts saying Zhao Yun should not let Hejian escape.

  Zhoa Yun had also discovered that Hejian was not an ordinary person, just from the guards surrounding him, he knew that he was firm and brave in battle, and not afraid of death. At this moment, hearing Batur's shout, his heart was also joyful. He urged on the Jade Lion, and immediately chased after him from behind.

  The two groups of people who had been fighting to the death suddenly discovered this scene, and amidst their uniform cries of surprise, Zhao Yun chased after He Qian, with Zha Bao chasing after Zhao Yun. Further back, E Kotou was chasing after Zha Bao.

  Four people formed a string, and even the horses that were tied together were fine. They also had an advantage in starting early. Even Zhao Yun's Jade Lion divine steed found it difficult to shorten the distance between them in a short period of time.

  Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao were about to rush into the forest ahead, while Zhao Yun was being chased by Zabul from behind, losing his patience.

  In the midst of galloping non-stop, he placed the yellow bamboo spear horizontally in front of the saddle, reached out to take down the large bow, and with his right hand scooped into the quiver. When he drew back his hand, an arrow was already nocked on the string. His eyes focused, both arms exerted force. In a flash, the bow was full moon-like, the arrow like a shooting star. Under the moonlight, a cold glint flashed, and far away, He Lian let out a loud cry, fell off his horse.

  After Tan Shi Huai unified the entire Xianbei with his unparalleled power, the Khan of the Xianbei was almost on par with the Emperor of the Great Han. However, within two years after Tan Shi Huai's death, his son He Lian, the second-generation king of the Xianbei who was likened to a grassland eagle, fell in this northern corner.

  At this time, neither Zhao Yun nor Liu Zhang, nor anyone in the world would have expected that this arrow shot down not only a Hanlian, but the entire Xianbei tribe that had just been unified.

  After the death of Hedian, his son Qianman was still young, and his brother's son Kuitou took advantage of the situation to take power. When Qianman grew up a bit, he fought with Kuitou to regain the khanate, causing the Xianbei to split apart. In order to survive, various tribes outside the pass sought to attach themselves to others, eventually drawing foreign tribes into the great war in the Central Plains. The chaotic world was taking unstoppable steps, getting closer and closer...
