301: Just an axe

"A Rong, come here!"

Lin Yue waved to Xing Daorong, who was behind him.

Xing Daorong and Wang Zhi responded instantly upon hearing him, galloping their horses a few steps to his side.

"This humble general is here. What are your orders, My Lord?" Xing Daorong said with a smile, while Wang Zhi, beside him, also looked puzzled.

"Do you see that man?" Lin Yue pointed to the Xiongnu Military General charging towards him.

Xing Daorong looked and immediately spotted the Xiongnu Military General holding a wolf-tooth club among a group of Soldiers. Such a conspicuous person was naturally easy to identify, so he nodded and replied, "This humble general sees him!"

"Go, bring me his head," Lin Yue said in a deep voice.

Zi Long was not by his side, and although Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yansi were also Third-rate Military Generals, it would likely be somewhat unstable for them to face a Xiongnu people Commander who had been a Third-rate Military General for over ten years.

Because a wolf-tooth club is different from ordinary weapons; it can be said to be one of the most brutal weapons among cold arms!

Any single blow from it would result in blood and gore, and damaged bones.

Even the most common, self-made simplified wolf-tooth clubs, which are just a piece of wood with a few nails, should not be underestimated. Because with this kind of enchanted weapon, if you're even slightly careless and take a hit, it's a one-cut tetanus, two-cuts meet your ancestors kind of outcome!

It can be said that among wolf-tooth clubs, there is no strongest, only stronger!

And the three Yang Family Generals were still young. Lin Yue was afraid that the three of them might make a mistake and take a hit, leaving hidden injuries that would affect their future development.

In this situation, Lin Yue immediately thought of Xing Daorong.

It could be said that among the Military Generals present, only Xing Daorong, as a Second-Rate Military General, could undertake this task, because not only did A Rong have a realm advantage over the opponent, but he was also thick-skinned and tough, so even taking a hit wouldn't matter much to him.

What's more, Lin Yue now wanted a quick victory, to sweep this place clean with overwhelming force!

It could be said that Xing Daorong was the best candidate at this moment!

"Understood!" Xing Daorong replied, his eyes bursting with fierce fighting spirit, and he charged forward with his great axe!

"Be careful!" Lin Yue couldn't help but remind him.

Although the wolf-tooth club in that Military General's hand was well-made and didn't look like an enchanted iron weapon, Lin Yue still couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong silently nodded and galloped forward, continuously adjusting his breathing to get into his optimal state.

As the distance between Xing Daorong and the Xiongnu Military General grew shorter, everyone's hearts involuntarily rose to their throats!

"Take this axe!"

Seeing that the two were less than twenty paces apart, Xing Daorong suddenly let out a furious roar!

At the same time, his warhorse suddenly accelerated, reaching the Xiongnu Military General's front in a flash!

The Xiongnu Military General, hearing Xing Daorong's sudden loud roar, was momentarily caught off guard. He clearly froze, and by the time he recovered, Xing Daorong had already ridden his horse to his front!

"Pfft!"

Xing Daorong brought his mountain-splitting axe down from top to bottom. The warhorse beneath the Xiongnu Military General could not withstand the immense pressure, its four legs directly breaking, with the exposed leg bones piercing into the ground!

The warhorse neighed in pain, then collapsed on the ground, twitching uncontrollably.

The entire field was silent!

Everyone was too shocked by this powerful, heavy blow to speak.

Then Xing Daorong stood tall, chest out, looking at the Xiongnu Military General with an air of looking down on the world.

With just one axe, the Xiongnu Military General was split in two and fell instantly!

This scene stunned everyone present!

"Could it be that A Rong's martial arts have reached such a level?" Lin Yue exclaimed, his mouth agape.

"So cool!" Yang Yansi's eyes were filled with longing.

"Truly a fierce warrior!" Wang Zhi also couldn't help but praise.

"Hmm? Why is he so weak? He couldn't even withstand one of Old Xing's axes. How is such a person worth me personally taking action?" Xing Daorong looked bewildered, staring at the Xiongnu Military General's "two" corpses, lost in thought.

Could it be that My Lord deliberately gave me this military merit?

But how could someone with such strength become a Xiongnu people Commander?

"Ah... ah... ah!"

At this moment, a Xiongnu people Soldier who had witnessed the scene let out a terrified shriek. After all, seeing a person neatly split in two right in front of you is something most people cannot accept.

The immense impact had scared him senseless; his eyes were vacant as he stood rooted to the spot, having forgotten to flee, only capable of screaming loudly!

"Run!" The many Xiongnu Soldiers behind the Xiongnu Military General, who had not yet been scared senseless, all panicked and fled backward upon seeing this!

Their "highest officer" was dead, and in such a chilling manner, which instantly extinguished their last shred of courage!

This is a demon!

The Qin Army Military General before them was a demon!

"Kill!" Xing Daorong suddenly let out a loud roar, and with another axe, he chopped off the head of the "mad" Xiongnu people Soldier!

At this moment, the moon, which had been hidden for a long time, peeked out, casting its moonlight upon the earth, adorning Xing Daorong with a layer of divine light, full of majesty and brilliance! He was, at this moment, an invincible Great Qin God of War!

The Qin Army cavalry, seeing this scene, all felt their blood surge, and they charged again, fearless of death!

And the moon, which had just shown its face, seeing the prairie like a purgatory, seemed displeased and quickly retreated behind the dark clouds.

The earth once again became dim, and within the Xiongnu people Encampment, a massacre was taking place!

Shouts of killing surrounded the Encampment. The Qin Army, divided into several routes, launched an attack along the tents!

Whenever they saw Xiongnu people, the Qin Army cavalry would brandish their spears and sabers, sending them to meet their revered sky gods!

The battle situation was excellent; the Qin Army was unstoppable, sweeping all before them, but Lin Yue felt a subtle unease in his heart for some reason.

He didn't know if it was just a misconception, but he always felt that all of this seemed a little too easy... An incense stick later, the shouts of killing within the Encampment gradually subsided, and the Xiongnu people completely gave up resistance.

"My Lord, the Army has occupied the entire Xiongnu people Encampment," Xing Daorong and Wei Liang came forward, cupping their hands to report.

"What were the gains from this battle?" Lin Yue asked, frowning.

"Still being tallied..." Wei Liang replied, steeling himself.

"Tally them quickly, then inform me," Lin Yue said, the unease in his heart growing stronger.

However, an Encampment with 300,000 troops could not be tallied in a short time.

So, for now, he could only wait for Zhao Yun's situation to make a rough judgment.

"Understood!" Xing Daorong replied, then shouted to the back, "Tian Liang, bring the head over!"

"Head? What head?" Lin Yue was puzzled by the sudden appearance of this person.

He saw Tian Liang carrying a white cloth-wrapped bundle, his eyes tightly shut, unable to look directly, as he walked towards them.

"My Lord, didn't you ask me to bring you the head of the Xiongnu people Commander earlier?" Xing Daorong said with a smile, a triumphant look on his face: "This humble general has brought it to you."

Ever since he had slain the enemy general in battle, every Soldier he met looked at him with awe and admiration, which he found very gratifying. This Xiongnu people Commander's head was the testament to his merits!

"Head?" Lin Yue suddenly realized, but in the next moment, his expression changed drastically, because he thought of the Xiongnu Military General's manner of death. In that situation, what would the head look like?

"Don't come over!" Lin Yue roared. He didn't know what a head split in two looked like, and he never wanted to know!

"Throw it away, don't bring it to me," Lin Yue said hastily.

Seeing this, Tian Liang was in a dilemma and looked to Xing Daorong for a solution.

"My Lord..." Xing Daorong still wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Yue's expression, he sighed: "Tian Liang, take it back and keep it safe for me."

"Ah? Sir, you want to keep this?" Tian Liang looked incredulous.

"Yes," Xing Daorong nodded, leaving no room for doubt.

Having received the order, Tian Liang could only retreat with a mournful face.

Just then, Zhao Yun, whom Lin Yue had been eagerly awaiting, rode up.

"Zi Long, how are things on your side?" Lin Yue asked anxiously upon seeing Zi Long.

Zhao Yun's expression was grim: "My Lord, it doesn't match!"

"Less?" Lin Yue's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

"Yes, This humble general, following your orders, first took over the Xiongnu people's stables and found less than 30,000 warhorses. This humble general then ordered men to search the entire Encampment and found that the entire Encampment had less than 50,000 warhorses in total!" Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

"Less than 50,000?" Lin Yue asked. This Encampment had a full 300,000 cavalry. Even at one horse per person, there should be 300,000 warhorses. Now there were only 50,000 warhorses, so where did the other warhorses go?

At this moment, Zhao Ponu also walked over and reported to Lin Yue in a low voice:

"My Lord, This humble general just interrogated a few Xiongnu people.

They said that an hour ago, the Commander here had already led over 200,000 cavalry out of the Encampment!

Those still in the Encampment now are just remnants, weak generals, or some garrison troops."

"Damn it!"

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Lin Yue's heart!

He finally knew why he had been uneasy!
