Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

Flames roared into the night sky, sweeping up dust and shooting straight to the heavens.

Inside the main camp of the Black Sand Chariots, countless Hu men and women left behind ran in panic, but they were killed by the arriving Great Zhou soldiers after only a few steps, their blood staining the grassland!

"Sijin is dead!"

At this moment, several Hu (non-Han) slaves, their necks and limbs shackled, ran around the camp, shouting in alarm:

"Lord Sijin, accompanied by several centurions, attacked the White Wolf outpost, but was surrounded by a large army and perished at sunset!"

"Fellow clansmen, if we continue to resist, we may end up like Sijin..."

People from the same clan are obviously more trustworthy than outsiders.

Some timid men, women, and children from the Black Sand Village were terrified upon hearing these words and gradually gave up resisting.

However, the reserve force, who were not yet qualified to go to war with the main army, risked their lives to seize a batch of warhorses and then patrolled around the camp, trying to make their people understand that this was all a deception:

"They're lying!"

"Lord Sijin is invincible; how could he possibly have seen the Eternal Heaven?"

"That spineless sheep of the Great Zhou is trying to intimidate us!"

"..."

As these words spread, some of the Hu people, young and old, who had originally intended to give up resistance, began to pick up their scimitars again.

This time, they not only targeted Lu Xiao and his group, but also turned their blades against their own kind!

In their view, anyone who dared to betray Shuji Sijin was unforgivable and did not even deserve to enter the Eternal Heaven.

For a time, the main camp of the Black Sand Clan was in complete chaos.

Lu Xiao charged around on horseback, and seeing that his comrades who had come this time were mostly unharmed, he immediately gathered everyone together and shouted loudly:

"These barbarian barbarians steal our grain, eat our flesh, drink our blood, and regard our mighty Zhou soldiers as mere ants!"

"Tonight, with this heaven-sent opportunity, are you all willing to join me in slaying the barbarians and avenging our brothers and fellow countrymen?"

"Kill the prisoners!"

Gao Hong was the first to respond, his rapid breathing revealing his barely suppressed excitement.

Several squad leaders and veterans hesitated as they looked at the Hu people, young and old, who were screaming or crying.

It wasn't that they didn't hate the Hu people; it's just that the ideas they received from childhood taught them not to indiscriminately kill unarmed people.

Moreover, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Hu people have always been regarded as barbarians.

If we raise our swords tonight, how are we any different from these barbarians?

Lu Xiao keenly noticed the gazes of these people and continued shouting:

"Brothers, why did you and I join the army?"

"Defending the country is a distant ambition, but protecting our home is the immediate issue we must consider!"

"Think of your parents, siblings, relatives, and neighbors behind you. Without their tireless work day and night, how could you and I fight with peace of mind on the front lines?"

"These barbarian children and old are also their relatives. If they don't die tonight, they will surely return tomorrow, turning our mercy into a sharp blade that will pierce our hearts!"

"..."

After his words, the soldiers were in high spirits, and any burden in their hearts vanished without a trace.

Lu Xiao continued to shout:

"Please follow your hearts; as for whether they live or die, that's up to fate!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Subsequently, the group began to disregard both combat and non-combat personnel in the Black Sand Chuo headquarters camp, killing almost anyone they encountered.

In just half an hour, the soldiers' swords were almost dulled, but they showed no sign of stopping.

Outside the main camp, the youngest son of Shuji, Qishu, was left to guard the area. Watching his people fall one by one in front of the enemy, he was filled with boundless hatred!

He could no longer contain himself, and raised his curved sword, roaring angrily:

"To avenge Sijin!"

"revenge!"

Lu Xiao and his men had already set the fires quite far when they realized the intentions of these remaining troops to attack. Without saying a word, they engaged them in close combat.

However, many Hu soldiers, upon seeing the unseeing eyes of their deceased loved ones, were thrown into disarray and lost all will to fight, quickly retreating in defeat.

Seeing this, Qishu had no choice but to reluctantly order everyone to retreat and wait for another day!

"Go, take all the valuables from their camp, and leave the rest here!"

After this battle, Lu Xiao became the backbone of this group. Huang Shan and the others did as he was told without even thinking.

In just a quarter of an hour, the group swept away most of the valuables in the camp like a whirlwind, leaving nothing that they simply couldn't carry.

Zhou Daxing, who arrived unexpectedly, felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this.

"Lu Xiao, are we just going to leave the rest to the barbarians?"

"Someone will come and clean it up."

Lu Xiao glanced at the pale dawn in the east; unknowingly, they had been fighting all night.

Following his gaze, everyone was surprised to find that two armies of the Great Zhou were slowly converging.

Only then were they relieved, and they took the gold and silver and left with Zhao Xiaoqi, who was guarding the warhorses on the outermost side.

Several miles away from the main camp, Zhou Daxing looked at his spoils and laughed heartily:

"Damn it, that black grime has been weighing on our heads for years, keeping the brothers up at night. Today, we've finally avenged them and let them taste the bitterness of being separated from their wives and children!"

"Lu Xiao, now that you're back at the outpost, how do you think the centurion will reward you?"

"Whatever reward may be given, Lord Centurion will certainly not deny everyone's contributions!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

……

"Shuji, is that all you've got?"

On the northern watchtower of the White Wolf outpost, Luo Yang watched the retreating army and shouted contemptuously:

"For a whole day and night, you came with great force, yet you couldn't even peel a layer of skin off my White Wolf Outpost. How dare you boast of flattening this place?"

"You really have gotten old!"

After he finished speaking, he and his two bodyguards burst into laughter.

A hundred paces away, Shuji stared in this direction, gritting his teeth, his face so black it was almost as if a layer of ash could be scraped off.

He looked at his eldest son and the others beside him with a mixture of disappointment and anger, and snorted coldly and shouted:

"retreat!"

After the Black Sand Chuo tribe's army arrived at the White Wolf outpost, they launched several attacks in succession. The largest attack even sent three hundred men, but they still failed and left behind dozens of warriors' corpses.

By now, Shuji had realized that no matter how many soldiers were in the White Wolf outpost, they couldn't take down this tough nut to crack.

There was no choice but to retreat.

Luo Yang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing their retreat, but his gaze lingered on the north.

"Hopefully... those guys from Daxing will be safe."

"Commander, didn't you send messages to the left and right outposts, instructing them to send troops to provide support?"

One of the guards seemed slightly puzzled.

Luo Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Even if reinforcements arrive, what then?"

"They only have thirty men, while the main camp of the Black Sand Clan has several thousand men left behind."

"Although most of them are not capable of fighting, they will still cause them a great deal of trouble!"

Having said that, he turned and glanced at his exhausted soldiers, then immediately gave the order:

"Take inventory of the wounded and disabled, gather up the equipment, and report the numbers as soon as possible!"
