335: Maodun hits a wall

“Retreat!”

Looking at the three massive crossbow bolts flying towards him, Modu didn’t hesitate for a moment and ran backward against the flow!

The crossbow bolts ultimately missed him by two inches, but the Xiongnu Military General beside him wasn't so lucky; he was directly pierced through the chest, unable to even utter a word.

“Saha Han!” Modu shouted. Saha Han was a Second-Rate Military General under his command and had been his playmate since childhood, like a brother to him. He slowed his pace, ready to go back and save his life!

But when he saw the bowl-sized hole in Saha Han’s chest, he ran backward without looking back!

Such a bowl-sized wound would be difficult to heal, even for a legendary deity!

Although he had lost a great general, he felt no lingering regret, because at this moment, even a slight hesitation would mean his own demise!

“Retreat!

Retreat!” Modu roared incessantly. He led the charge outward, and then the Army sequentially turned their horses and retreated!

But a large ship is difficult to turn, and turning such a massive Army was even more challenging. Their vanguard elite cavalry, after turning their horses, had completely become living targets. Blood splattered everywhere, and their lives were taken in an instant!

Modu had now blended into the Army, but the next moment, an ominous premonition suddenly arose within him. He subconsciously looked back and felt relieved when he saw countless Cavalry Soldiers following closely behind, then continued his escape!

But in the blink of an eye, the Cavalry Soldiers behind him lunged at him, and a crossbow bolt appeared in his chest, its sharp, gleaming tip heading straight for him!

“Bang!”

The crossbow bolt penetrated the “Profound Qi” barrier. He keenly sensed the “Profound Qi” barrier shattering, but before he could react, the crossbow bolt plunged into his back!

“Ugh…”

Modu grunted, his vision blurring. Fortunately, the row of Cavalry Soldiers behind him had lessened the impact, and the “Profound Qi” barrier had absorbed the final blow; otherwise, he would have been directly pierced through!

…“Good!”

Lin Yue, seeing this scene, excitedly waved his fist!

If Modu could be killed at this moment, Great Qin would have one less major threat in the future. After all, Modu was the Xiongnu Chanyu who historically besieged Liu Bang on Mount Baideng. In Lin Yue’s eyes, his threat was even greater than Touman’s!

But before he could celebrate, he was doused with a bucket of cold water.

“Don’t get too happy too soon. Although the crossbow bolt hit his back, the crossbow bolt, having passed through dozens of people, had already lost its power and could not kill him.

Looking at Modu’s current state, although he is injured, an ordinary First-rate Military General still cannot defeat him,” She Jian said in a deep voice.

Wang Da Tou also sighed. If Modu had fallen back by two positions, with two fewer Xiongnu Cavalry Soldiers to cushion the impact for him, it’s very likely Modu would be a corpse right now!

He gazed at Wang Yuan behind the “Breaking Army” crossbow carriage and sighed in his heart. If the first arrow from “Breaking Army” had been personally shot by the Deputy Commander, Modu would have already died here, and it wouldn't have turned out like this.

He was well aware of the power of the “Breaking Army” crossbow carriage! This was the only crossbow carriage built by his family, gathering countless skilled craftsmen, spending countless treasures, and taking several years to create!

It could be said that every single part of “Breaking Army” was inscribed with “formations” or “talismans,” bringing each component to its peak, and finally assembling this world's only “Breaking Army”!

Because even a family as wealthy as the Wang family, with its two Martial Marquises, no longer had the ambition to build a second one!

The crossbow bolts shot by “Breaking Army” were unmatched in speed, power, and range. It could even be called the Wang family’s “clan-protecting divine artifact”!

From the day “Breaking Army” was born, its mission was to slay enemy generals!

This was its first appearance before the world, but it failed to kill Modu, which left him somewhat disappointed.

However, as a member of the Wang family, Wang Da Tou couldn’t question anything, because Wang Yuan was indeed the best candidate. As the Deputy Commander’s eldest son, if he could rely on “Breaking Army” to kill Modu, the Xiongnu Crown Prince, then the “Breaking Army,” for which the Wang family had spent all its wealth, would be meaningful and worthwhile.

Because the emergence of “Breaking Army,” if it could allow Wang Yuan, the leader of the Wang family’s fourth generation, to make a name for himself, and with the Deputy Commander’s support in the Army, in due time, there would be another Martial Marquis in the family. And the Deputy Commander’s second son, Wang Wei, could inherit the Deputy Commander’s title. Adding in the family head Wang Ben’s title, the Wang family would then have three Martial Marquises!

The Wang family could then continue to prosper!

Therefore, as a member of the Wang family, though he had regrets about this outcome, he certainly had no complaints.

“He’s heading for the right side of the formation!” Lin Yue suddenly said.

She Jian, seeing this, curled his lips into a cold smile.

Modu was seen forcefully pulling out the large crossbow bolt. Most of the crossbow bolt’s tip was already stained with blood. He gripped the large crossbow bolt tightly and hurled it with force into the Qin Army formation!

“Whoosh!”

The crossbow bolt whistled through the air, ultimately decapitating a Qin Soldiers who was engaged in combat in the middle of the formation!

He then pulled out several pills from his spatial treasure and swallowed them all at once!

Modu’s expression was solemn. After feeling his injuries temporarily stabilize, he led his 400,000 cavalry toward the right side of the Qin Army’s grand formation!

With the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army in the center and Wang Li’s Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army on the right, there certainly wouldn’t be any more Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army on the right!

Even if there were, there wouldn’t be the kind of large crossbow bolts from just now, which couldn’t stop him!

“Follow me!” Modu roared!

He bypassed the Left Wise King’s Army in the center, ignoring them. The battle in the center was currently in full swing, and although more than a third of their forces had been lost, even if he were to go to their aid now, he wouldn’t be able to rush to the very front and change the stalemate.

Furthermore, the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army’s offensive was already weakening. With the Left Wise King’s million-strong Army, breaking through the enemy formation was only a matter of time!

Thinking this, Modu tore off a piece of his tattered robe, wrapped it around his body to bind his wound, and charged straight towards the left side of the Qin Army’s grand formation!

At this moment, the Xiongnu cavalry that had previously attacked had already reached the front of the Qin Army formation!

“Kill with me!” Modu roared!

He led the 400,000 cavalry forward!

“Kill!”

Modu followed closely behind the second wave of Xiongnu cavalry. The second wave of Xiongnu cavalry, seeing reinforcements arrive, immediately had their morale greatly boosted and charged forward with bloodshot eyes!

“Kill!”

The Army on the right was commanded by Su Jiao, a general under Zhao Ben. His face was ashen at this moment as he shouted to the Military General beside him:

“Crossbowmen, fire arrows, quickly!”

“General, arrows are running low at the front. The Brothers say there aren’t many arrows left!” the Qin Army Military General said anxiously.

“Go to the rear for supplies, quickly!” Su Jiao roared!

Among the Qin Army crossbowmen, most carried only about fifty arrows each. Only some skilled archers, who were master marksmen, would carry over a hundred arrows. This was because not every Army was as lavish as the Hundred-Battle Armor-Piercing Army!

They were just ordinary crossbowmen, and in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they had already used up most of their arrows. Currently, there weren't many arrows left!

“Heavy armored infantry, advance twenty paces, and meet the enemy with me!” Su Jiao roared. Since the Golden Fire Cavalry had been transferred under Zhao Ben’s command, he hadn’t personally taken action for nearly half a year. Today, it was finally his turn!

“Kill!”
