The north wind howled, and dark clouds filled the sky.

On the land, soldiers of the Great Zhou and the Northern Hu fought a bloody battle. The dark clouds on the horizon not only brought a chill but also the first snow of winter to this land.

After a quick reorganization, the soldiers of the Gule tribe had begun to regain their composure from the chaos. However, Lu Xiao had already led a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantrymen from the White Wolf Camp, along with the Long Gui and Luo Yang tribes, to surround them.

At this moment, Lu Xiao, wielding the Black Dragon Spear, charged haphazardly through the enemy ranks.

With each shot, he could take the lives of two or three Hu soldiers!

On the battlefield, lone wolves howled, weapons clashed, and shouts of battle rose in waves, all used to bolster their own morale.

Xiluoluo led his thousand-plus elite cavalry, circling around the area, attempting to inflict heavy damage on the Zhou army. However, as time passed, their warhorses were pierced with countless bloody holes by the Zhou soldiers' long spears, and many soldiers were pulled off their horses and stabbed to death!

Seeing that if things continued this way, the two thousand elite cavalrymen entrusted to him by the king would be completely annihilated, Xiluoluo gritted his teeth, pointed to the north, and roared angrily:

"withdraw!"

The cavalry dared not delay and retreated northward while fighting.

At this moment, Gulefeng noticed the movement on his side, and the two groups of people just happened to meet. He hurriedly pulled Xiluoluo back:

"What do you mean by this?"

"If we hold on just a little longer, we can break through the encirclement, regroup for a while, and then launch a counterattack!"

"Siloro, if you leave now, won't you be trapping me in a trap?"

At first, Xiluoluo had planned to take Gulefeng with her, but upon hearing that the other side was also going to attack the White Wolf camp, she immediately roared in anger:

"Lord Gulequ, look at the warriors around you!"

"They traveled thousands of miles to this place as your vassals, only to be surrounded and about to lose their lives because of you. How can you face these people?"

"Besides, I'm not a member of your Gule tribe, but the King's man!"

After he finished speaking hastily, ignoring Gulefeng's advice, he sped off northward:

"Get out of the way!"

"Don't drag others down with you if you're courting death! I still need to bring the King's warriors back!"

"Sila-ro-ro!"

Seeing this, Gulefeng shouted loudly, but he couldn't stop Xiluoluo from leaving. He could only watch as the other person's figure ran further and further away.

He remained silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and glared at the soldiers of the Great Zhou, his eyes filled with resentment:

"Even if I die today, I will tear a piece of flesh from your bodies!"

"Warriors, follow me and fight!"

At this moment, Gulefeng was no longer the chieftain under the Hu King, nor the chieftain who came to avenge the three tribes of Heishachuo, but a Sijin who wanted to lead his tribe's warriors to escape to safety!

The situation on the battlefield was extremely chaotic. Many Hu soldiers, unable to find their commanders due to the commotion, ended up fighting each other indiscriminately.

Gradually, they lost all sense of where they were, surrounded by strangers, and finally, filled with deep resentment, they collapsed on the grassland.

Two and a half hours later, with the support of the White Wolf Camp, the Changyang Garrison, the Yuyang County Soldiers, and some troops from the Zhengbei Camp and Pingxi Camp, the encirclement gradually narrowed.

In the chaos, Jiang Ke, seeing the situation was dire, quietly put on the clothes of a Hu soldier and fled with the fleeing soldiers on the periphery, ignoring the shouts of Gu Lefeng not far away.

At that moment, a raging fire surged within him!

Why is it that when I was in the Great Zhou Dynasty, just as my future was beginning to look promising, I was captured by the Hu people, and now that I am about to shine in the Hu army, I am still being utterly defeated by the Zhou people!

As she fled, Jiang Ke would occasionally look back at the battlefield, her eyes brimming with resentment.

"Lu Xiao, White Wolf Camp..."

"If I don't avenge this, I, Jiang Ke, swear I'm not worthy of being called a man!"

"withdraw!"

At the center of the battlefield, Gulefeng saw that the situation was hopeless and that if he continued to fight, he would be annihilated by the Zhou people. He had no choice but to reluctantly give the order to retreat.

However, when the news reached the warriors at the front, it became that the Lord needed them to surrender to the embrace of the Eternal Heaven.

All warriors must fight to the death today!

This was an order that Gulefeng conveyed to his guards, attempting to buy himself time to escape by killing ordinary soldiers.

In the distance, Lu Xiao had just killed several Hu soldiers when he looked up and saw that Gu Lefeng's banner was still in place. However, further away, several Hu soldiers who looked to be of high rank were fleeing north. He immediately raised his Black Dragon Spear and shouted loudly:

"Gulefeng is fleeing! Soldiers, charge with me!"

"Your canal master has abandoned you and fled!"

Among the soldiers of the Great Zhou, there were soldiers who could speak the Hu language. Upon seeing this, they immediately translated Lu Xiao's words and quickly ran through the crowd to tell all the Hu soldiers the news.

Sure enough, when the Hu soldiers heard that their commander had fled, their morale collapsed instantly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Long Gui, Luo Yang, Dong Tiancheng, Zhang Man, and others immediately issued the order to continue the fierce attack.

This time, they must swallow this barbarian army whole!

"drive!"

After Lu Xiao finished speaking, he led dozens of elite cavalry straight towards the fleeing Gu Lefeng, killing anyone who stood in his way!

The snow was falling heavier and heavier.

As he led his soldiers out of the main battlefield and pursued Gulefeng and his personal guards, the white snowflakes quickly spread out on the grass, forming an enormous white carpet.

It was then soaked with the hooves of their horses and the blood of the Hu people.

"Gulefeng, you can't escape!"

After chasing for several miles, Lu Xiao saw that the snowflakes ahead were becoming increasingly dense, and immediately roared:

"Since they dare to invade, they should be prepared to die!"

"Today, I, the Marquis, will avenge those people who died at the hands of you barbarians!"

"Revenge! Revenge!"

Standing on his horse, Gulefeng was extremely anxious, constantly looking back to check his position relative to the pursuers as he ran.

He was utterly astonished to discover that his personal guards, who had covered his retreat, couldn't withstand a single move from Lu Xiao.

Sometimes, when the two sides were far apart, Lu Xiao would simply draw his bow and shoot an arrow, instantly shooting his personal guard off his horse.

Unbeknownst to him, only four or five of his personal guards remained after he escaped!

puff-

While he was in a state of great turmoil, Lu Xiao had already caught up, sweeping his personal guards off their horses and continuing to charge forward without even looking back.

Behind them came the Great Zhou cavalry, who were there to clean up after Lu Xiao.

call out!

Suddenly, an arrow struck dozens of snowflakes, then, carrying a chilling killing intent, pierced directly into Gulefeng's shoulder!

"what……"

Gulefeng screamed and fell off his horse. As soon as he looked up, he saw a long, black spear pressed against his throat.

At that moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his face filled with fear of death.

"I surrender!"

Seemingly remembering something, Gulefeng raised his hands and shouted in Zhou language with a panicked expression:

"I am the chieftain of the Northern Hu tribes; capturing me is more useful than killing me!"

"Lu Xiao, I'm willing to submit to you, please don't kill me!"
