"This man is cunning and treacherous, his crimes are heinous, and everyone has the right to kill him. He only knows how to resort to despicable tricks like sneak attacks!"

"Its actual strength, however, isn't that great!"

Gulefeng gritted his teeth, finished speaking, and then cracked his whip, increasing his speed:

"Konomi, if the two armies clash head-on, we can surely defeat them in one fell swoop!"

As Gulefeng gave the order, the eight thousand Hu soldiers who were marching toward the White Wolf camp started running wildly, leaving the slaves and cattle far behind!

He wasn't worried about these supplies being targeted or stolen by others, after all, this was on the grassland.

Anyone who dares to make a move is an enemy of the Hu King!

……

"Report!"

Inside the White Wolf Mountain camp, Fang Dahu, who was leading a patrol outside, ran straight to Lu Xiao, speaking urgently:

"We have detected that the Northern Hu army is heading towards our camp. We estimate there are eight thousand of them, and they will arrive outside the camp in about two hours!"

"My lord, it seems the Northern Hu are truly enraged this time!"

Liu Fulou, who was standing nearby, was also reporting what he had seen:

"Following behind the Hu army are slaves, artisans, and supplies such as cattle and sheep. It seems they intend to launch a fierce attack on my White Wolf camp and take this place!"

Upon hearing this, a knowing smile appeared on Lu Xiao's face:

"Perfect timing!"

"I was so afraid they wouldn't come, which made me suffer from poor food and drink for the past few months. Now they've finally arrived!"

After saying that, he immediately gave the order:

"Order the entire army to prepare for battle!"

"Light the signal fire and order the Changyang County, Ji County, and the Zhenbei and Pingxi border defense battalions to take note!"

woo woo woo...

Amidst the buzzing of bull horns, the White Wolf camp began to move rapidly. Regardless of what they were doing, the four thousand soldiers in the camp headed directly to the north gate to assemble, and the cavalry were also ready to leave the camp to meet the enemy!

As the Gule tribe entered the White Wolf camp's line of sight, Lu Xiao's side had already made full preparations, waiting only for the enemy to attack.

"Lu Xiao, you scoundrel, come out and face your death!"

Just a hundred paces outside the main camp, Gu Lefeng reined in his horse and stopped, angrily shouting:

"You have repeatedly provoked my Gule tribe, incurring the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men and gods alike!"

"Today, I, Gulefeng, have come by the decree of the Eternal Heaven to execute you, this heinous scoundrel, on the spot!"

"Aren't you going to stretch out your neck and let me cut it off?"

On the city wall, Lu Xiao heard the other party shouting loudly, but couldn't understand a single word. He turned his head in confusion and asked:

"What was he mumbling about?"

"Let's talk tough."

Zhou Daxing shook his head, not understanding what Gu Lefeng's foreign language meant.

Although he could speak some foreign language, it was all vocabulary related to daily life. He had never learned vulgar language like "Gulefeng".

After cursing for a while, Gu Lefeng, seeing that the Zhou people were unmoved, turned to look at Gu Mi:

"The Zhou people are arrogant and disrespectful to us. I will kill them!"

"Konemi, why don't we send troops to attack immediately and wipe them out completely!"

"I want to meet Lu Xiao."

Gu Mi rode his horse into the distance, his gaze fixed on the man in the red cloak on the city wall, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

Along the way, he had heard too many things about Lu Xiao. As a confidant of the Hu King, he was not convinced by the fact that his people had praised Lu Xiao as so powerful, as if he were the reincarnation of a holy wolf from the grasslands!

After all, their king's main force uses the holy wolf as its totem, and all soldiers are wolf riders!

After a moment's thought, Gu Mi said in a deep voice:

"Please, Lord Gulequ, send a few soldiers who understand Zhou language to call out to Lu Xiao, ordering him to come out and fight me!"

Upon hearing this, Gulefeng nodded, summoned a few warriors, conveyed these intentions, and then began to eagerly await the outcome.

On the city wall, Lu Xiao and his companions saw the troop movements and knew that this was the Hu people's first pre-battle announcement, so they waited patiently.

Sure enough, he soon understood what the other party meant.

"You scoundrel Lu Xiao, my master Gu Lefeng has come for the Black Sand Chuo Trilogy!"

"You are ruthless and cruel, annihilating my sons of the grasslands without cause and deliberately provoking war between the Northern Hu and the Great Zhou. You are the sinners of the world!"

"Today, I, King Hu's beloved general Gu Mi, issue a challenge to you, Lu Xiao!"

"Lu Xiao, do you dare to come and fight?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao immediately laughed, thinking to himself that these people really knew how to distort the truth.

Fan Changxin, standing to the side, hurriedly introduced:

"My lord, Gulefeng is the Sijin of the Gule tribe of the Northern Hu. He has 10,000 skilled soldiers under his command and is the Hu tribe closest to my Yuyang County."

"This man was highly skilled and trusted by the Hu king, who once praised him as the number one canal chief of the Northern Hu."

"As for Gu Mi, he is one of the most outstanding young talents among the Northern Barbarians. He has led troops to harass our Yuyang border several times, plundering a great deal of grain and civilians!"

His presence here serves two purposes: first, to oversee the logistics of the civilian laborers; and second, to keep abreast of the situation on the battlefield so that the resources that have been consumed in large quantities can be mobilized from Bai County or Changyang County.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao immediately shouted:

"Gulefeng, you Northern Hu people really know how to distort the truth."

"It was clearly the Black Sand Tribe that provoked us first; our Great Zhou soldiers were merely reacting passively. How come you claim we were the ones who provoked us first?"

"And then there's the Moda tribe and the Qingwu tribe. They joined forces with the remnants of the Heishachuo tribe, gathering three thousand troops to attack, only to be utterly routed by my White Wolf camp. I truly don't know what face you have to call yourselves warriors!"

"You and I both know right from wrong, so let's not talk nonsense here!"

"Bring it on if you dare! Let's settle this with a battle!"

Gu Lefeng and Gu Mi exchanged a glance and both saw the anger in each other's eyes.

They didn't expect that Lu Xiao was not only cunning but also sharp-tongued, and with just a few words, he pinned the blame for starting the war on them.

After a moment's thought, Gulefeng decided to challenge them personally, with his warriors translating. Unexpectedly, the other side kept coming up with witty remarks, even cursing his ancestors for eighteen generations.

For a moment, he was so angry that his beard almost stood on end, and he didn't know how to attack!

"Kill them!"

Once they calmed down, Gulefeng and Gumi disregarded any challenge and directly ordered their troops to attack!

As the horns and war drums of the Hu people sounded, Lu Xiao's side dared not be careless and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to prepare all the defensive tools such as rolling logs and oil, ready to throw them down as soon as the enemy attacked.

Prior to this, he had ordered the archers to fire three volleys.

However, the bows and arrows did not stop the Hu people from advancing south, and they eventually got close to the city.

"put!"

Seeing that the Hu people had placed ladders on the city wall and that siege engines were following closely behind, Lu Xiao waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to put down the rolling logs, caltrops and oil.

"what……"

In an instant, the Hu soldiers screamed in agony.

To their despair, Lu Xiao even sent people to pour boiling hot gold juice on them!

In a short time, the first wave of attacking Hu soldiers, wounded by arrows, crushed, and burned, fell off the city wall one after another, their cries of agony filling the air.
