In the distance, a sound of galloping horses gradually approached, growing louder and higher.

  Even those unfamiliar with military matters could tell that a cavalry unit was rapidly approaching them.

  Jin Guanghua listened carefully for half a moment, his face changed greatly, and said: "This is not good. This troop is absolutely not an ordinary horse thief, but a well-trained elite soldier."

  Su Chunwei and Liu Junshu both showed a look of surprise, looked at each other, Su Chunwei said: "General Jin has been in the northern border for many years, in your opinion, which group of horse thieves is this?"

  Jin Guanghua thought about the information of several notorious horse thieves in his mind, and his face looked even more unsightly: "The northern border is vast, bandits are rampant, but there are only three stocks of horse thieves with such strength, it's just unknown which one they are."

  "How does the strength of these horse bandits compare with that of the Red Ocean Army?" Liu Junshu asked.

  "It's probably about the same level. Jin Guanghua's face turned red, and he immediately explained: "However, two of the three groups of horse bandits were originally disguised as Xiongnu officials and soldiers, which is why they were so powerful."

  Liu Junshu was greatly surprised and asked: "Why did the Xiongnu people pretend to be horse thieves?"

  "Every autumn, they disguise themselves as horse thieves and enter the Great Han border to burn, kill and loot. They call it 'hitting the autumn wind'. We protest, but they just push it away. However, when our army conducts a siege, they obstruct us in every way."

  As they were speaking, the cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the flags and uniforms could already be seen.

  Jin Guanghua's face turned pale, and he suddenly drew out his treasured sword, saying: "You two gentlemen, quickly lead the Imperial Guards away. I will stay behind with General Xu to cover your retreat. Once you return to the capital, be sure to report to the Emperor that the Xiongnu are harboring evil intentions, and every word General Xu spoke is true."

  Su Chunwei grabbed his arm and asked: "How did you know?"

  Jin Guanghua pointed to the horse thieves in front of him and said, "This group of horse thieves is called the Wild Wolves, but they are actually regular troops from the Xiongnu Flying Horse Army. This time, they have brought more than 5,000 people at once."

  He paused, his face turned pale, and said: "To deal with more than 3,000 infantrymen, we actually need to mobilize more than 5,000 regular flying horse soldiers. That's to wipe us out and cut the grass to eliminate the roots."

  Su Chunwei and others were shocked and lost their color. Jin Guanghua had been fighting with the Xiongnu for many years, so he would not speak alarmingly.

  "So that's how it is, no wonder they suddenly gave us so many things, truly sinister intentions." Su Chunwei said harshly, but by now it was too late to regret, if only he had realized earlier, he would have rather abandoned these burdens and hurried back to the Great Han.

  Jin Guanghua stopped talking and was about to ride forward with his horse when two soldiers holding long spears suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way. One of them shouted loudly: "The general has ordered that everyone dismounts, covers their ears with their hands, and remains silent. Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with according to military regulations."

  A few soldiers quickly ran to the front of those several large vehicles and led away the horses pulling the carts.

  Jin Guanghua was about to force his way in, when he suddenly heard Xu Haifeng's firm voice coming from the front: "General Jin, please calm down and follow orders."

  His voice contained an unyielding dignity, Jin Guanghua had been in the northern border for many years and was accustomed to following orders, after hesitating for a moment, although he felt resentful, he could only reluctantly retreat.

  At this time, Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming were standing in front of the horse team, watching the group of horse bandits getting closer and closer.

  Xu Haifeng furrowed his brow and asked, "Military Adviser, have you miscalculated? Does Hami think that with just these 5,000 cavalrymen, he can annihilate my Black Flag Army?"

  In Jin Guanghua's eyes, these five thousand iron cavalry were fatal stars, but in Xu Haifeng's eyes, these five thousand people were somewhat not enough to look at. Could they be stronger than the heavy cavalry of the Caesars?

  Jiang Kongming said somewhat awkwardly, "The students shouldn't have miscalculated, it's just that there was a small problem somewhere, causing the number of enemies to be slightly different from what we expected. This is also good, our equipment will be used less, and we can keep a few more trump cards."

  He glanced at him sideways, and Xu Haifeng found that Jiang Kongming's old face was rarely red once. He thought he had planned everything, but today's situation was extremely rare.

  Xu Haifeng sneered: "There's a slight difference, isn't the military advisor supposed to have at least 30,000 to 50,000 people? So it turns out that five thousand and fifty thousand are just slightly different."

  Jiang Kung-ming coughed hastily and said, "The enemy army will arrive soon, I'll make arrangements for the students. I'll come to pay my respects later." He then hurriedly left.

  Xu Haifeng watched him leave with a wretched back, smiling but not speaking. He didn't even glance at the 5,000 approaching Xiongnu iron cavalry with his right eye. He believed in his own troops, and the Black Flag Army had not shown its sharp teeth for a long time, it was time to warm up slightly.

  Under Jiang Kung-ming's command, a large cart was pushed out and placed before the cavalry, laid flat.

  Remove the shading canvas, and it turned out to be a large bronze bell. However, unlike the bronze bells in general temples, the top of this bronze bell was opened by someone with a big mouth.

  Several soldiers placed this bronze bell flat on the carriage, with the bottom facing south, aiming at those Xiongnu cavalrymen who were waving their sabers and shouting wildly.

  A towering and intimidating figure appeared on the other side of the bronze bell, it was Qin Yong, the human-shaped violent dragon who was conferred by Emperor Han Xian as the number one brave warrior under heaven, leaving the two great sect masters at a loss for what to do.

  At the sight of this scene, Su Chunwei and Liu Junshu both thought of something at the same time. Their faces changed greatly, without needing to be urged, they immediately jumped off their horses and covered their ears tightly with both hands.

  Liu Junshu loudly commanded: "Imperial Guards... all Imperial Guards dismount and cover your ears, quickly."

  Those with a bit of brains had already guessed what was about to happen and, on receiving the order, immediately carried it out, while the stupid ones did so only after being pulled along by their comrades.

  Only a few dozen people from the Red Ocean Legion of the Northern Territory, such as Jin Guanghua, looked at Tong Ze's busy figure with confusion and ignorance, and their eyes even showed disdain.

  These border troops originally looked down on the Imperial Guards from the capital, thinking they were just some inexperienced rookies who had never been through war. Now that they see the enemy's strength is great, they're actually scared and have become turtles with their heads withdrawn.

  Liu Junshu and Jin Guanghua were on good terms, so he walked up to him and hinted that he should do the same, but unexpectedly Jin Guanghua just shook his head and waved his hand, refusing to compromise. Having no choice, he had to give up and thought to himself, "I have done my best to persuade you, it's your own fault for not listening, I'm not to blame."

  Inside the two large vehicles, all the women except Xia Ya Jun had already put on Jiang Kongming's specially made wooden earplugs.

  And this woman with extraordinary martial arts skills sat cross-legged in the carriage, her face calm and serene, as if she had already entered a meditative state.

  The Huns were gradually approaching, and their incessant yelling could already be heard from their mouths.

  Xu Haifeng suddenly appeared behind Jiang Kongming and asked: "What are these guys yelling about?"

  Jiang Kongming shrugged and said: "They are offering a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to those who capture Xia Yajun alive."

  "It's so expensive." Xu Haifeng sighed: "The price of a beauty is never cheap."

  Jiang Kung-ming blew a loud whistle and said: "The price of the lord's life is not low either, your head is also worth 10,000 taels."

  Xu Haifeng seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing in the world, and he burst out laughing, saying: "My head? I'm afraid they don't have that kind of luck to take it."

  In his last sentence, his tone turned heavy, and it was actually filled with murderous intent.

  "Qin Yong, it's all right." Jiang Kongming called out faintly and then quickly put on his earplugs.

  Qin Yongzheng gazed through the two large holes of the bronze bell, watching with great interest as the horse bandits charged forward. Upon hearing Jiang Kongming's words, he chuckled and stood up, beginning to inhale.

  With this mouthful, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the smaller round hole on the copper bell, letting out a loud roar.

  "Ah..."

  It was as if the grand scene of returning to the capital had returned, and the earth-shaking giant throat once again visited the world. Like a giant dragon's roar, the powerful sound waves spread far and wide through the amplification of the bronze bell, creating an effect even more perfect than expected.

  The Xiongnu bandits had already rushed to within twenty meters of the convoy, and until now, they still hadn't seen the Han soldiers take out their bows and arrows.

  All that was placed in front of them was a huge bronze bell, were these Han people scared silly? Could this broken toy withstand the iron cavalry of Xiongnu that shook the sky?

  More than a dozen cavalrymen who were charging in the front were extremely excited. Whether it was killing Xu Haifeng or capturing Xia Yajun alive, they could get a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, which was enough to make them lose their normal sanity.

  They have already fantasized in their minds about how to show off their military exploits and bravery to their tribesmen after they return. As for dealing with these disheartened Han troops, it's as easy as catching them off guard.

  Suddenly, an indescribable wave of air came from the front, and they could no longer hear any sound in their ears, because the extremely powerful sound waves had completely damaged their auditory system.

  Their bodies seemed to have lost their souls, heavily falling down, even the horses under them were foaming at the mouth, front legs bent, and fell to the ground.

  They were miserable, but at the same time they were also lucky, because before they fell down, their minds had already become a complete blank. The sound waves destroyed not only their hearing, but also caused irreparable damage to their brains, and even if they survived this war by luck, they could only become idiots who knew nothing.

  Qin Yong's roar had not stopped, and the continuous waves of sound surged towards the horse bandits like a tide, one wave higher than the other.

  The neat formation of the Xiongnu finally became chaotic.

  At this time, the Black Flag Army's troops began to close in like a long snake, like a big net, about to wrap up many Xiongnu people.
