Chapter 196: That's it? How to compete with the prince for the throne?
Claiming to be the savior, he led dozens of loyal guards and hundreds of villagers, intending to ambush and repel the invading Hun army.

Unexpectedly, the current Xiongnu leader is Maodun, not Touman of the past. He has been influenced by various famous scholars since he was young, and is well versed in both civil and military strategies.

How could Maodun not notice the disappearance of hundreds of able-bodied men from these villages? Fusu's act of saving the world fell into the Xiongnu's calculations.

As a result, the entire village, including hundreds of young and middle-aged men including Fusu, were captured and taken to the battlefield.

Fusu and a dozen of his personal guards faced hundreds of cavalrymen head-on and confronted hundreds of archers.

At the command of the bearded Hun chieftain, a cavalry team of a hundred men came galloping forward, waving sabers.

"Don't hurt my young master!" A guard bravely stepped forward to resist.

"Quick, protect the young master and evacuate immediately!"

Several guards risked their lives to resist, and Fusu was surrounded by the remaining guards and ran towards the back mountain.

The Xiongnu leader's eyes flashed: "Sir?"

“It’s actually a big fish?”

Then he laughed and rode his horse to chase after him!
The chief is an expert in martial arts, and the horse he rides is tall and mighty, and as fast as thunder. When faced with a rural earth wall, he can easily jump over it with just one leap!

The speed of four hooves is far greater than that of two legs, not to mention that they are driven by the Huns, who are unrivaled in horsemanship!

Soon, the Hun leader led the cavalry to intercept Fusu. He looked at Fusu carefully for a while, then glanced at the guards beside him, and the bearded leader narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The guards of the Black Ice Terrace?"

Then he asked word by word: "You are Fusu?!!!"

He stared at Fusu, waiting for his response.

At this time, Fusu's guards' faces changed drastically. They stepped forward one after another, standing in front of Fusu, staring at the Huns leader fiercely.

Once the prince's identity is exposed to the Huns, the consequences will be disastrous!
However, at this moment, Fusu's Confucian beliefs prevailed.

As a leader, he cannot hide behind his men in a life-or-death situation.

He pushed aside the guards blocking his way and looked up at the bearded Hun leader: "That's right!"

"I am Prince Fusu!"

"How dare you, the evil Xiongnu, invade the territory of our Great Qin!"

"If the young master dies here today, the Qin cavalry will surely flatten the entire grassland one day!"

"Brothers, there is no need to protect me anymore. Life and death have been decided. Let us fight before death to see who can kill more Huns!"

"Kill with me!"

As soon as Fusu finished speaking, he rushed forward first. The guards around him were extremely anxious and could only follow closely behind him.

"Hahaha!"

The Xiongnu leader laughed wildly and said, "Warriors!"

"We caught a big fish today!"

"Kill all the guards and capture Prince Fusu alive. When we return, the Chanyu will reward us handsomely!"

"kill!"

Whoosh whoosh!
Dozens of sharp arrows flew towards him, and Fusu's guards tried their best to resist. Although they were highly skilled in martial arts, they were outnumbered and could not resist.

In just three breaths, dozens of guards were hit by arrows and covered with wounds. The fate of Fusu and his party seemed to hang by a thread.

When despair loomed, they resolutely put aside life and death, picked up their swords and bravely moved forward, fighting a desperate battle with the Huns.

The Xiongnu leader with flying beard smiled knowingly, brandished his sword, and rode his horse straight towards Fusu, determined to gain the great military achievement of capturing the prince.

The hooves of the horses were beating fast, and they were approaching Fusu in an instant. Clang!

The bearded leader's sword flashed with great force, and Fusu tried his best to raise his sword to block.

The blades collided, and there was a sound of "crack", and the knife was kicked away from the hand.

In an instant, Fusu was left unarmed and helpless.

The bearded leader laughed wildly and pulled out the rope he had prepared in advance, trying to tie up Fusu.

At this critical moment.

Whoosh!
A feather arrow broke through the air, piercing through the bearded leader's chest from back to front, and blood gushed out.

The chief looked down in shock, only to see that the iron arrowhead had pierced deeply into his sternum.

At the end of his life, his thoughts stopped at one question: When was the Qin army equipped with iron arrows?
Bang!
The bearded leader fell heavily from his horse, and his life disappeared in the dust.

"Captain!!!"

The surrounding Hun cavalry witnessed this scene and were so shocked that they lost their voices.

When they looked back, they saw dozens of sharp arrows as fast as lightning, flying straight towards their group of cavalry.

In an instant, an arrow pierced through his chest, and his tail feathers were still trembling.

The cavalryman watched helplessly as more than half of the 500 cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood in the center of the village.
In the distance, a silver tornado-like cavalry team suddenly rushed over. The silver-armored knights only pulled the bowstrings lightly, and the powerful arrows flew out immediately, and a Hun cavalry fell to the ground.

At the last moment of his life, the only thing left in the heart of this Xiongnu cavalryman was shock: When did the Qin Dynasty possess such a powerful cavalry unit?

As for Fusu, he was already prepared to die, but he was stunned.

Just when he was about to fall into the hands of the enemy, the Hun captain was shot dead.

He looked up and around, and found that his comrades, the Huns who were trying to defeat them, were shot dead one by one!

Friendly forces?!
This was Fusu’s first reaction.

Then, he turned his gaze to the center of the village, where hundreds of Hun cavalrymen who had been monitoring thousands of villagers were now lying in a pool of blood.

Following the line of sight, Fusu saw the same scene and confusion as the dead Hun leader who had just died.

Is this the Qin cavalry?

The silver-armored knight in front of him, riding a strong and nimble horse, wearing silver armor, holding a long crossbow, with the string moved, the Huns in front fell down!
this.
Are these the cavalry of my Great Qin?
When did our Great Qin possess such a powerful cavalry force?

With just a hundred silver-armored cavalrymen, they wiped out hundreds of Hun cavalry in a flash, without even giving them a chance to resist!

The strength of the two sides is vastly different!
Fusu was filled with shock and could hardly believe it!
If the northern border troops had such iron cavalry, how could they have allowed the Huns to wreak havoc for so many years?

He adjusted his breathing, led the remaining dozen wounded soldiers, walked towards the general in silver armor, saluted and asked: "My name is Fusu, may I ask which hero rescued us?"

The general responded: "I am Huo Qubing, serving under the Thirteenth Prince!"

When Fusu heard this, his heart was shocked. Huo Qubing, this name was unfamiliar yet familiar.

It was his own younger brother, the Thirteenth Young Master, who actually saved him!
This time, Huo Qubing led his army, which was divided into 17 teams. They went deep into 17 villages and engaged in a fierce battle with the Xiongnu cavalry.

By coincidence, his team came to the village where Fusu was.

However, they encountered 500 Hun cavalry. Fortunately, the Snow Dragon Cavalry was well-equipped. Generally speaking, when facing an enemy force ten times their size, they could instantly destroy it without fighting.

After defeating the Huns, they not only rescued the villagers, but also accidentally discovered Prince Fusu mentioned by the Thirteenth Prince.

Huo Qubing looked at the disheveled Fusu and shook his head secretly.

If he couldn't even resist hundreds of Xiongnu cavalry, how could he compete with the prince for the throne?
