The beauty of the Hu women is wild and alluring!

Ying Changqing is individually strong, but he will be suppressed when facing a military formation and will be unable to change the course of the battle.

Therefore, everyone was ready to open the city gates at any time, rush out of the city, and welcome Ying Changqing.

At this time, outside Yaoguang City.

Inside the Xiongnu chief's tent.

A burly man with a bare upper body sat in the main seat.

Several Xiongnu generals stood below him.

Among the crowd, a young man dressed in black, with a pale face, no beard, and an unusual demeanor stood out.

Judging from his clothes, one can tell that he is not a Xiongnu, but a Liyang person.

"Great Chanyu, where is Ying Changqing? How long must we wait?"

The man with the gloomy demeanor suddenly spoke, asking the burly man sitting at the head of the table.

The burly man smiled and put down his wine glass.

He turned to look at the stunning woman behind him, dressed in a blue and gold gown.

In that one glance.

The Li Yang guards following behind the gloomy man were all stunned.

Her features were perfect, her eyebrows were beautiful, and especially her face, which was different from that of Chinese people, had a very exotic look.

Those heterochromatic eyes were exceptionally striking; the right eye shone like amber, while the left eye was as clear as ice blue. Combined with the red blush at the corners of her eyes, she was incredibly captivating and could be described as a stunning beauty.

The burly man finally spoke.

"Daughter, is that brat Ying Changqing still in the mountains?"

Upon hearing her father's words, Hu Ji immediately closed her two-colored eyes, as if sensing something.

After a while, a loud cry came from the sky; it was the golden eagle that had been following Ying Changqing.

It seemed to sense something and actually flew back from Yaoguang Mountain.

Hearing the call, Hu Ji opened her eyes and gently shook her head.

"The eagle said that Ying Changqing has not left Yaoguang Mountain."

The young man with the gloomy face immediately frowned.

"Now that we know Ying Changqing is at Yaoguang Mountain, why don't we just go there directly?"

The burly man shook his head resolutely: "We grassland people are all warriors on horseback."

"If we rashly enter the mountains, we will not be able to defeat the Qin army. If they set up an ambush, we will surely be defeated."

"However, Liyang City cannot afford any losses."

The young man pressed further, "What if Ying Changqing keeps hiding in Yaoguang Mountain and won't come out?"

"His Majesty's condition is that you help me kill Ying Changqing. If you don't fight Ying Changqing, you won't receive any reward."

The burly man waved his hand dismissively and poured himself another cup of mare's milk wine.

"Don't worry, Yaoguang City is surrounded by us. Ying Changqing's beloved lives in the city."

"I know people like you all too well, valuing your reputation more than your lives. He will definitely leave the city to save his beloved."

Although the young man still had reservations, he could only nod helplessly when he thought about the fact that the other side had tens of thousands of troops.

Liyang has already paid a heavy price to secure the assistance of the Xiongnu, and victory in this battle is imperative.

A strange light suddenly flashed in Hu Ji's eyes.

She immediately leaned close to her father's ear and whispered, "Father, Eagle just delivered a secret report that Ying Changqing has already come out of Yaoguang Mountain."

"With him was a troop of elite cavalrymen dressed in light black armor and riding fine horses."

Upon hearing that the army had appeared, the burly man at the head of the group changed his expression drastically and stared at the young eunuch in terror, questioning him.

"Didn't you in Liyang sign an agreement with Lü Buwei? Why would Shangjun send reinforcements?"

The young eunuch from Liyang frowned and asked anxiously, "Do you know where Ying Changqing's cavalry came from, and how many there are?"

Everyone inside the tent fell silent; the Great Chanyu and all the generals dared not utter a sound.

The Qin army was a fierce and powerful force, and the enemy was already terrified of it, daring not to engage in direct combat.

After closing her eyes to sense the situation, Hu Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only five hundred people."

The young eunuch from Liyang immediately felt relieved.

The Xiongnu Chanyu laughed contemptuously, his face full of disdain.

"I thought it was reinforcements from Shangjun, but it turned out to be a false alarm."

"Five hundred rabble are not worth mentioning; our army has ten thousand brave warriors."

"They wear light armor, making them easy targets."

The Great Chanyu waved his hand and pointed at Touman.

"I'll give you five thousand iron cavalry. Cut off Ying Changqing's head!"

Touman laughed wildly and replied, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"These five hundred men are nothing but lambs to the slaughter; leave no one alive!"

……

Yaoguang Pass.

Ying Changqing led five hundred Blood Dragon Riders straight to Yaoguang City.

The Blood Dragon Cavalry numbered only five hundred, while the Xiongnu had ten thousand elite soldiers.

But they were full of vigor and forged ahead.

A scout rode up from the front.

"Report!"

"Your Highness, the Xiongnu have discovered our army and have split into two groups."

"One force continues to besiege Yaoguang City, while another force of about five thousand men is charging towards us."

Mei San Niang looked at Ying Changqing in surprise.

"Your Highness, your calculations are accurate."

"But I'm curious, how are you so sure the Xiongnu will discover us and divide their forces?"

Ying Changqing looked up at the golden eagle in the sky but did not answer.

He turned to the Blood Dragon Riders and shouted, "Very good, the enemy has fallen into the trap. They underestimated us and scattered their forces."

"The entire army is advancing at full speed according to plan!"

"In this battle, we are not seeking a breakout; we must annihilate these five thousand enemy soldiers and give them no chance to regroup!"

"Let the Xiongnu witness the might of my Great Qin Empire!"

Ying Changqing looked around.

The more than 500 new recruits of the Blood Dragon Cavalry were all very nervous, and some were even afraid.

They had never been on a battlefield, only killed mountain bandits, which was completely different from real battlefield combat.

Ying Changqing spoke again.

"Brothers, today is the day to make our mark! Charge with me!"

"The person who kills the most enemies today will be rewarded with ten acres of fertile land, a hundred gold coins, and promoted to deputy commander."

"The others will also receive generous rewards; I keep my word!"

Ying Changqing had never been on the battlefield or led troops, but he knew that to get soldiers to fight for their lives, simply inciting hatred and giving them pep talks wouldn't work.

What soldiers really care about are tangible benefits.

Only tangible, immediate benefits can motivate them to work incredibly hard.

Ying Changqing's judgment was correct.

The Blood Dragon Cavalry were already fired up by the speech, filled with rage and eager to vent their anger on the Xiongnu, just waiting to go to the battlefield to take revenge.

Now, upon hearing Ying Changqing's promise of a hundred taels of gold and ten acres of land, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with greed.

They were eager to rush to the Xiongnu and have a great battle.

With ten acres of land and a hundred taels of gold, the family would no longer have to suffer from hunger and poverty.

Even a taxi driver who's too poor to afford a wife can use this money to get married.

Who wouldn't be excited about such a benefit?

"Let me tell you, I want all of this—a hundred gold pieces and ten acres of fertile land. Anyone who dares to take it, I'll slaughter every single Xiongnu!"

"Pah! I'm not married. I like Li Ya from the neighboring village, but she thinks my family is too poor and refuses to marry me."

"Once I become the deputy commander and get the bounty and land, let's see if that old bastard dares to stop me then!"

Everyone was talking about life after getting rich, and no one was afraid of war anymore.

They felt that fighting was not a death sentence, but a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Boom!

Boom!

Suddenly, the deafening sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

On the horizon, a dark mass of Xiongnu cavalry surged forward like a tide.

They underestimated Ying Changqing, thinking that they could overwhelm him and the five hundred Blood Dragon Riders with their sheer numbers.

So they rushed loosely toward Ying Changqing.

Ying Changqing immediately drew his Qiuli sword, pointed it to the sky, and shouted to the men behind him, "Brothers, today is the day to make our mark! Follow me and kill!"
