242: The dust has settled

Just then, a white steed leaped high, crossing over the heavily surrounded Xiongnu Cavalry, landing before them like a divine Soldier descending from the heavens!

“Lin Yue!” Bru instantly lost his temper, his rage soaring, and despite having just rested after a major battle, he immediately rode his horse toward Lin Yue!

Bru would not miss this chance to face Lin Yue alone!

“Die!” Bru roared, his eyes filled with murderous intent, as if they could spew out raging flames.

But he noticed that Lin Yue showed no expression of fear. Instead, the corner of his mouth curved upward, as if he was mocking him?

He did not know where Lin Yue got his courage, and his anger grew even stronger. He hated that kind of smile the most, especially when it appeared on Lin Yue’s face!

Bru gripped his long halberd tightly with both hands, glaring at Lin Yue, his warhorse galloping faster and faster. Bru intended to cleave him in two with a single halberd strike!

But the next moment, Lin Yue suddenly slowed down, a playful smile on his face. Bru raised his long halberd and swung it at Lin Yue!

Just then, a white-robed, white-horsed Military General darted out from behind Lin Yue!

The person who came was Zhao Zilong!

His heart was startled, but the long halberd had already been swung. It was too late to run now!

Zhao Yun, holding his Dragon-Gall Silver Spear, charged out alone to face Bru!

Though he was alone, he had the momentum of a thousand armies!

“Bang! Bang!”

With just two spear thrusts, the long halberd in Bru’s hand flew out and backward!

Bru was greatly alarmed. He disregarded his status as the Xiongnu people commander and the safety of the Xiongnu people Army, hastily spurring his horse to flee!

When danger truly arrived, everyone was self-serving.

Even as King Baiyang, he was no different. Zhao Zilong, a Legendary General, was an existence he would always have to look up to, an existence he could never surpass.

Fleeing at this moment was the only difficult choice he had to make!

“Bru, are you really going to run? If you run today, and you run tomorrow, can you run for a lifetime?

Why don’t you surrender, and I’ll send you to reunite with your family. Living out the rest of your days like that, wouldn’t it be joyful?”

Lin Yue’s mocking voice came. Bru thought that if they truly reached Xianyang, even if they miraculously survived, living like a cripple would be worse than death.

His hands were meant to hold swords like a warrior for a lifetime, not to hold various tools and be wrapped in thin blankets, eventually leaving this world alone amidst hunger and cold!

But Bru was now too preoccupied to retort; he could only flee frantically.

Only by escaping could he avoid that tragic fate!

Lin Yue sighed, and after realizing that mockery had no effect on Bru, he chased after him, with Zhao Yun following close behind!

At this moment, Xing Daorong and the others also broke free from the entanglement of the Xiongnu Military General and followed Lin Yue in pursuit!

They knew that King Baiyang Bru’s value was immense!

Bru looked back, seeing several people chasing him, and frantically bent over his horse’s back as he fled.

But when he turned his head back, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, hidden beneath the moonlight... “Do not pursue a cornered foe! Do not pursue a cornered foe!

Lin Yue, you damn well get back here!” She Jian shouted, but there was no response from the communication token for a long time!

At this moment, Lin Yue was galloping wildly on his warhorse, hotly pursuing Bru, with no time to notice the vibrations from the communication token.

She Jian was now burning with anxiety, but Xiongnu Soldiers were obstructing him, preventing him from catching up, which greatly angered him.

He rode his warhorse and casually grabbed a Xiongnu Cavalry. The Xiongnu Cavalry looked at him with terror. He twisted with both hands, and the Xiongnu Cavalry’s neck snapped, sending him to his death.

“King Baiyang has fled! Brothers, charge with me!” She Jian, at this moment, no longer cared whether the surrendered Xiongnu Soldiers behind him could understand, and he charged forward first!

But this cry was far from his alone; Aruhan in the distance had already dealt with the nearby Xiongnu Cavalry and was shouting loudly in Xiongnu people!

Countless surrendered Xiongnu Soldiers shouted, and Xiongnu Soldiers looked back one after another, only to see that the banner representing King Baiyang had disappeared!

Because the elite Soldiers guarding King Baiyang Bru had all gone to pursue Lin Yue and his party to rescue Bru!

But this also created a misconception for them: that King Baiyang had fled, and they had become a defeated Army! They had become a defeated Army fighting alone, abandoned by their king!

This caused their morale to instantly plummet. They did not understand why, despite fighting fiercely and not retreating, and engaging the Qin Army with several times their numbers, they still lost?

But they could not find the answer in such a short time, because their time was running out.

“Lay down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed!”

“Lay down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed!”

The surrendered Xiongnu Soldiers were now shouting in Xiongnu people. They had already won. As fellow Xiongnu people, they did not want to shed the blood of their own people.

Several shouts of persuasion to surrender spread throughout the battlefield. The Xiongnu Cavalry looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Eventually, some Xiongnu Soldiers threw down their weapons and sparsely dismounted their warhorses, preparing to surrender.

Another group of Xiongnu Soldiers turned their horses around and fled backward. Although they had failed, the foundations of some Xiongnu people tribes had not suffered much damage. Led by their tribal chiefs, they scattered in all directions.

The tribal chiefs were accustomed to a life of luxury. Now, to be made prisoners would be more unbearable than death.

So, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would not surrender. Because each of them still had tens of thousands of Soldiers under their command, no matter where they fled, they could occupy a territory and continue their previous lives!

They led their tribal cavalry in a frantic escape, preparing to get away from this troubled place.

Pan Feng and Wu Chen wanted to pursue, but She Jian stopped them.

Because the remaining ones were just small fry, not worth chasing.

King Baiyang’s final counterattack had come to nothing. From then on, there would be no more easily defeated enemies in the Ordos Loop. Now, preserving this great victory was the most important thing!

If they pursued rashly, and once they capsized in a ditch and were counter-killed, the current achievements would be damaged and turn into smoke!

It would not be worth the loss!

...Lin Yue and the others were getting closer and closer to Bru, the distance between them now less than a hundred meters!

But Bru’s eyes grew brighter and brighter in the night.

Finally, after crossing a dirt slope, Bru stopped, turning his horse around.

“Heeheehee!”

Bru laughed up at the sky, his face full of mockery!

Lin Yue’s heart trembled. He reined in Big Yellow, stopping his advance, and stared at Bru, halting his steps.

“Hahaha!

Lin Yue, your time has come!” Bru laughed loudly, all the pent-up frustration in his heart for these past days swept away!
