My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 424 My life is over
Rumble!
The commotion caused by ten thousand horses galloping is awe-inspiring.

Countless elite cavalrymen, clad in iron armor, charged towards the crowd on horseback.

In the blink of an eye, they had already reached the crowd.

obviously.

Previously, everyone was engrossed in 'picking up money' on the ground. Faced with the sudden charge of the cavalry, most of them froze in place, unable to react.

Only a few reacted quickly and turned around to find the horse.

The thunderous sound of hooves and the overwhelming shouts of battle had already startled the horses, and they all began to run wildly in all directions.

This was not a difficult task for the skilled horsemen of the grasslands and the soldiers and civilians of the Six Garrisons; they wanted to catch up and force themselves onto the horse's back.

But just as he lifted his leg to run away...

They then realized that the heavy 'money and valuables' in their arms made it impossible for them to run, and they could only watch helplessly as their beloved horses ran further and further away.

Some of the more ruthless ones simply threw back the valuables they had painstakingly stolen from others, allowing themselves to regain their mobility. They took three steps at a time, quickly caught up, grabbed the saddle and reins, jumped back onto the horse, and galloped away like madmen.

But many more people are reluctant to part with it and are caught in a dilemma.

But Erzhu Rong's elite Qihu cavalry wouldn't give them much time to think.

"Kill!"

"The Prime Minister has decreed that whoever captures He Liuhun alive will be richly rewarded!"

"Where is He Liuhun?!"

"Kill, kill, kill!!"

The fierce and menacing Qihu elite cavalry, wielding curved swords, used the immense momentum of their Western Region warhorses charging at high speed to kill as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, as if they were in an empty field.

Because no one resisted at all, or rather, those who were only concerned with the money and valuables in their arms were simply unable to resist.

puff!

The dull thuds of blades slicing through skin echoed repeatedly.

puff!
Even worse, some would simply decapitate someone with a single blow, sending heads flying high before crashing to the ground, leaving only headless corpses standing there, continuously gushing blood.

The air was soon filled with a strong smell of blood, which further fueled the savagery in these people's hearts.

Excited laughter and screams mingled together.

On the hillside not far away.

Erzhu Rong watched the one-sided massacre with an expressionless face, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger. Despite the fact that his plan had succeeded and he was now slaughtering Gao Huan's elite troops, he showed no sign of happiness.

"Hahaha, Prime Minister! Even if He Liuhun isn't captured alive, he'll be severely weakened!"

His confidant, Wang Xiang, laughed and flattered him, saying, "Prime Minister, your strategies are superb. How could a mere He Liuhun be a match for you?"

Erzhu Rong shook his head, "He Liuhun overlooked the biggest weakness of his elite troops."

Even if Erzhu Rong had feigned defeat to allow Gao Huan to lead his troops deep into enemy territory, it wouldn't necessarily have resulted in a major victory.

He is very clear.

Gao Huan knew how brave the soldiers and civilians of the six towns under his command were, and he was also very clear that these people harbored immense hatred towards him. These people were a tough nut to crack, and forcibly trying to crack them would only make things difficult for himself.

Erzhu Rong would never do that, nor did he want to suffer too much loss.

Then, they specifically used this 'gold-leaving scheme'.

He had these money and goods specially transported from Ye City in recent days.

Gao Huan's soldiers were indeed elite, and the soldiers and civilians of the Six Garrisons were indeed fearless, but Gao Huan's control over this army was very limited.

In particular, Gao Huan personally led these people to burn, kill, and plunder in Xiu Rongchuan.

Dogs that have eaten human flesh must be killed.

Once something starts, it's too late to control it.

This army has already tasted the sweetness of burning, killing, and looting. How could Gao Huan possibly keep them in check for the past six months, preventing them from causing trouble?
If this army were to be controlled by Gao Yu, Erzhu Rong felt that this tactic might not be effective.

After all, Gao Yu had enough prestige to make his soldiers temporarily overcome their greed and obey his orders.

Gao Huan couldn't do it. His way of quickly taking control of the soldiers and civilians of the six towns was to constantly amplify the 'evil' in their hearts. How could he possibly get these soldiers, who had 'eaten meat' (meaning they had tasted meat), to overcome their greed?
"Prime Minister! Look... Adou and his men have also led their troops to attack!"

Wang Xiangyao pointed into the distance, in the direction that was planned to be where the Heba brothers and others were supposed to appear.

A large number of cavalry also appeared on the other side.

An attack from three directions simultaneously.

"The outcome of this battle... is already decided!"

Erzhu Rong stroked his beard and made his judgment.

However, he was still not very happy. He knew very well that even if he defeated Gao Huan, it would only mean that he and Gao Yu would be evenly matched.

He turned his gaze to the northeast, the direction where Yingzhou was located.

"He Liuhun is nothing to worry about. With me here, he can't cause any trouble!"

"Only Moheduo is the real threat..."

Erzhu Rong murmured, "Moheduo should have been my greatest help. If it weren't for that damned Yuan Ziyou... I wouldn't have such a headache today."

………………

"He Liuhun, what are you standing there for? Run!!"

Hou Jing reacted quickly and was also very loyal. Instead of running away on his own, he loudly reminded Gao Huan, who was standing there in a daze.

"He Liuhun! Run!"

The guard, Bilugu, also reacted, forcefully pulling on Gao Huan's reins to turn the horse around. He then lashed out with the whip, and the horse, in pain, finally galloped away!
They were not like those soldiers who only cared about looting.

They also had warhorses beneath them.

"run!"

At this moment, Gao Huan couldn't care less about anything else; his survival instinct kicked in.

He kept cracking his whip, wishing his horse could grow wings and fly away!
Whoosh whoosh.

The sound of arrows piercing the air rang out.

He looked up and saw a hail of arrows raining down on them.

He turned his head to look again.

Suddenly, a large number of cavalry appeared out of nowhere on both sides and charged towards them!
He could even faintly hear familiar voices.

"Where is He Liuhun! Come here and face your death!"

"Hou Gu, weren't you looking for my brother and me? Well, right here we are!!"

Hebasheng charged ahead, relying on his bravery and having no worries or fears.

Gao Huan's goal was very obvious.

Hebasheng had his eye on him long ago!
He grabbed the bow beside him, nocked an arrow, and aimed it at the horse under Gao Huan's horse. The arrow struck the horse squarely in the belly!
Although he failed to kill the horse, as Gao Huan's horse bled too much, its strength gradually gave out, its speed slowed down, and finally its front hooves buckled, causing it to fall to the ground.

But Gao Huan, on horseback, was in a much worse state.

He was thrown off balance and sent flying.

It rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

His internal organs felt as if they were being churned up, but... Gao Huan couldn't care less about the pain and quickly got up to run away.

But all that could be seen was Hebasheng excitedly urging his horse on and shouting.

"Hahaha! He Liuhun, you can't escape now!!"

Bilugu and the others tried to rescue him, but were stopped by others.

this moment.

Gao Huan was utterly despondent, and even began to reminisce about his life in his mind before closing his eyes in despair.

"My life is over!"
