Chapter 209 Light the fire and burn the mountain!
At this moment, despite the difficult situation, the First Emperor still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, not on himself, but on Xiao Shisan.

The Divine Archery Battalion and the Golden Spear Soldiers led by Xiao Shisan may be planning an unusual strategy.

Thanks to Xiao Shisan's careful consideration, perhaps the war has not yet begun, and everything has already been calculated by him.

Afterwards, the First Emperor led the Snow Dragon Cavalry to break through twice.

For the last time, the enemy had reached the rear of the dragon riders. In the brief and fierce battle, hundreds of elite Xiongnu cavalrymen were killed, and the Great Snow Dragon Riders also suffered thirteen minor injuries.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of arrows rained down, and the Snow Dragon Riders were forced into a narrow gap between high mountains on both sides.

Once you step into this place, you will be stuck in traffic and unable to escape pursuit.

However, the First Emperor had not yet realized that the narrow strip of sky was surrounded by mountains on all sides, leaving nowhere to escape. It was actually a small canyon with a radius of less than ten miles!
Once entering this valley, the Great Snow Dragon Riders will be trapped to death!

Maodun Chanyu chased after them, with a sneer on his face: "No matter how brave your Qin cavalry commanders are, they still fall into my killing zone!!"

"Brave men, drive them in. At all costs, we must destroy this Qin army!"

"This is the most powerful cavalry unit in the Qin Dynasty. Without them, the entire Qin Dynasty will belong to our grassland!"

"kill!!!"

On the brink of despair, Huo Qubing and Fusu stared at the First Emperor, waiting for him to make a life-and-death decision.

This order will determine whether the Great Snow Dragon Riders will turn back and fight a desperate battle with the Huns, or rush into this desperate gap without hesitation.

At this moment, the First Emperor's eyes suddenly caught something.

Inspiration suddenly came to him, and he did not rush towards the narrow gap in the sky, but instead rushed towards the high ridge on the south side of the mountain.

Oh, Xiao Shisan, don’t let me down.

The mountains on the south side were layered with peaks and ridges. Lu Bu cleverly used a reflective stone to instantly dazzle the First Emperor's eyes.

"Father! That forest is a dead end. We can't climb it!"

"Father, instead of going over there, why not try your luck by breaking into this narrow canyon!"

The First Emperor's decision silenced everyone, except Fusu, who was extremely anxious, but received a slap in the face.

"Shut up, coward!"

"I am the commander-in-chief. I lead the troops. All you have to do is follow and listen!"

Oh, if Fusu could have half the courage and insight of Xiao Shisan, I would feel at ease!
Fusu: Forbearance.

Heart: Ups and downs.jpg
Facing the dangerous situation of the Thin Line of Sky, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, under the order of the general, unexpectedly turned to the mountains and ridges in the south and galloped away.

Maodun was surprised at first, but then he burst into laughter: "Hahahahahaha!"

"Who exactly is the leader of the Great Snow Dragon Riders? Are you a wise man or a fool?!"

"I actually saw through the desperate situation of the narrow gap and dared not advance rashly!"

"But do you think you can escape by going to the mountains and forests to the south?"

"It's so steep that even a majestic horse can't climb it, right?!"

"This dense forest is more dangerous than the enclosed valley of the narrow gap in the sky. It can only delay you for a moment!"

"Once we go deep into the jungle and cannot reach the top, wouldn't that be courting death?!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Warriors, surround the southern forest!"

"We're going to trap them here and kill them!"

Maodun Chanyu waved his arms, and nearly 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry swarmed in and surrounded the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

Just as Maodun said, the Great Snow Dragon Riders were now in a desperate situation.

The sunset was like blood, dyeing the sky red. Maodun's 60,000 cavalrymen attacked and fought fiercely with the Snow Dragon Cavalry. From the initial loss of nearly 30,000, to the desperate pursuit of the remaining troops and horses, after dozens of miles of twists and turns, they finally forced the Snow Dragon Cavalry into a dead end.

Before my eyes were two lush green mountains, with a narrow valley between them that was only wide enough for three horses to ride side by side.

At this moment, three thousand snow dragon riders were galloping wildly in front.

Behind him, 30,000 Hun cavalry surrounded him from both sides and chased him from behind.

Their goal is to force the Great Snow Dragon Riders into the Death Valley and annihilate them in one fell swoop!
In the setting sun, beneath the silver armor of the Great Snow Dragon Rider, his cracked lips spoke of exhaustion.

They had been running all day and still had some strength left, but they were extremely thirsty.

Admittedly, apart from the initial head-on attack, they did not experience much fighting and fled all the way.

Ironically, although this was to protect them, for the Great Snow Dragon Riders, such escape was somewhat frustrating.

When have they ever been forced into a desperate situation in this land?
However, the new General Zhao Zheng was appointed by the Thirteenth Prince himself, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry must execute his orders.

Now, they were heading towards the mountains in the south, which was obviously a dead end and there was no way to retreat.

At this moment, it might be wiser to turn back and fight against the 30,000 Huns!
Although their armor is thin, it is unmatched by any Hun cavalry in this world!
The Great Snow Dragon Riders firmly believed that even when faced with a desperate situation, they could fight one against ten and kill more than 80% of the enemy's Hun warriors.

This is their pride and belief.

However, for the First Emperor, he had deep feelings for this Great Snow Dragon Cavalry Unit, and he did not want to witness their annihilation unless it was a matter of life and death!

Fortunately, while speeding towards the Line of Sky, the First Emperor was dazzled by a ray of reflected light from the mountains on the south side.

As a grandmaster, he immediately noticed the unusual movement over there.

Have they arrived yet?

Is it the three thousand divine arrow battalion, or the ten thousand golden spear soldiers?

No matter who the visitor is, the First Emperor decided to go and find out.

If there is really nothing else to do, it will not be too late to turn back and fight the Huns to the death.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining, and the silver-armored dragon of the Great Snow Dragon Riders plunged into the depths of the dense forest in the southern mountains.

Just as Maodun expected, the mountain was extremely steep. Perhaps some sections at the foot of the mountain were flat, allowing the cavalry to gallop for a short time, but when they entered the mountainside, the jungle was dense, the soil was soft, and the slope increased sharply, making it impossible for the cavalry to continue climbing.

Therefore, the Great Snow Dragon Riders could only hide in the dense forest halfway up the mountain and rely on the cover of the trees for defense.

"but……"

"Aren't you worried about causing wildfires?"

Upon seeing this, Maodun Chanyu grinned grimly and immediately issued an order.

"Everyone, surround them, get to the foot of the mountain, and light a fire!"

"Burn the mountain!"

"As ordered!"

Su Fu looked confused. He really wanted to ask his father what to do if the enemy came to set fire.

However, two slaps on the cheek warned him that it was best to remain silent at this moment.

On the top of the mountain, the First Emperor issued an order: "Everyone, load up the Zhuge Crossbows, rest on the spot, and wait for the order to attack!"

Everyone was even more puzzled. Shouldn't they use all their remaining strength to shoot and kill the Huns who were trying to set fire?

But they could only obey the general's orders.

Maodun encouraged the soldiers again: "Warriors, they have been running all day and are no longer able to draw the second bow. Don't be afraid, charge up and burn the mountain!"

"Once the wildfires start, we win the war!"
