Chapter 1 The Beginning

After ordering his men to keep a close watch on the Xiongnu, Jiang Chen lay down on the extremely simple bed, looking at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

If things continue to develop as they are, it's only a matter of time before this place is breached. Since the reinforcements from Jiangnan are useless, then…

While Jiang Chen was worrying about these matters, a man in cloth clothes walked across the camp.

The moment he faced the Xiongnu camp, he drew the long sword in his hand.

"Let me wash away the sins on my body."

Looking at this strange fellow, many of the soldiers on night watch felt a little strange. While they were wondering what this guy was going to do, this man quickly ran towards the Xiongnu camp.

Such a strange action naturally attracted the attention of many people, but in the end, no one took it seriously.

Just when everyone was preparing to rest, the Xiongnu camp suddenly became unusually chaotic. The huge commotion even caught the attention of Jiang Chen's observers.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be infighting in the Xiongnu camp. Should we take this opportunity to rush in and stir up the waters even more?"

Taking advantage of the night, watching the firelight flashing back and forth in the Xiongnu camp, Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

"Choose a few brave brothers. Now that there are signs of infighting among them, let's add more fuel to the fire."

Not long after he finished speaking, a small team of dozens of people assembled and quickly sneaked towards the Xiongnu camp.

The moment they rushed into the Xiongnu camp, they were all dumbfounded.

The originally well-organized Xiongnu camp was now completely chaotic. Looking at the heads of several people hanging high on their flagpoles, several members of the team couldn't help but gasp.

Those who could be selected to participate in this kind of raid had a good understanding of the Xiongnu. Now, these Xiongnu who had been killed were actually the leaders of several of their major tribes.

You should know that these people were not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also extremely meticulous in their thinking, in order to become leaders. But now they were easily beheaded, which made them all feel a chill.

Just when they didn't know what to do next, someone patted them on the shoulder.

"Leave as soon as possible. Now they are in chaos. If you don't leave now, there will be no chance."

Seeing this guy in cloth clothes, everyone seemed to guess something.

Understanding what had happened in the Xiongnu camp, they just threw the fire oil they carried with them towards the scattered tents, and then quickly left.

When they returned to the camp, the strange man who had reminded them earlier had already appeared in front of them.

"Who exactly are you?"

Just as he was about to enter the camp, he was stopped by a group of people.

Although he had just killed the most troublesome guys among the Xiongnu, no one dared to let him approach Jiang Chen before his origin was clarified.

"Me? Just a sinful person."

After speaking, he put away the long sword in his hand and sat quietly outside the camp, staring straight at the Xiongnu.

As the commotion on the Xiongnu side finally subsided, the originally very forward Xiongnu camp instantly retreated several miles.

Seeing their highly vigilant appearance, the guy in cloth clothes couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems, it's time for me to leave."

Before everyone could react, this guy disappeared like a ghost.

If General Su could see this scene, he would recognize that this elusive guy was actually his staff member.

After confirming that several of the more famous leaders on the Xiongnu side had all died, Jiang Chen immediately made a decision. Strike while the iron is hot. If he didn't seize such a good opportunity, he would regret it.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Jiang Chen gathered his troops and launched an attack on the Xiongnu.

Looking at the team that rushed over suddenly, these Xiongnu people were immediately thrown into disarray.

Just when many people thought that their surprise attack would definitely be successful, the Xiongnu, who were still retreating, seemed to have suddenly anticipated it and quickly organized their troops to fight back.

For a time, the two sides fought into a团.

The huge shouts of killing even changed the color of the world.

As the command flags were constantly waved, the soldiers charging at the front began to reap the lives of the surrounding Xiongnu according to the original deployment.

However, the resistance of the Xiongnu also created a lot of trouble for them. Although they had a slight advantage, it did not prevent the entire battlefield from becoming a meat grinder.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, everyone couldn't help but silently cheer for their own side. Today is probably the key to determining the victory or defeat of Shimen Pass.

Just when they all thought that this battle would surely end in their victory.

Another group of Xiongnu rushed out of Shimen Pass. The addition of these reinforcements caused the scales of victory, which had already leaned towards Jiang Chen's side, to tilt once again.

The battlefield, where victory had been clear, became chaotic once again.

"Your Majesty, sound the retreat! Those Xiongnu are still constantly sending reinforcements. If we really fight to the death here, then we're really done for."

Listening to such persuasion, Jiang Chen remained unmoved and continued to stare intently at the front.

Now everyone's morale is at its highest point. If he really sounded the retreat now, it would mean that the hard-won advantage would be completely buried.

And the retreating troops would be chased and killed by these Xiongnu in the chaos. The losses would become astronomical.

Now Jiang Chen was betting that the reinforcements behind these Xiongnu were no longer able to support them to continue adding fuel to the fire like this.

Just when Jiang Chen's attempt was about to end in failure.

Suddenly, on the other side of Shimen Pass, a shout of killing suddenly rang out.

"Brothers! The backup that His Majesty prepared for us has already taken effect! Now, let's kill all the enemies in front of us, and we can return in triumph!"

As someone shouted loudly, the morale, which had been somewhat low, instantly became high.

The previously deadlocked situation once again allowed the scales of victory to gradually tilt towards Jiang Chen.

As some Xiongnu discovered that they did not seem to be a match for these people, they also began to flee in all directions.

It's a pity that no one could escape Jiang Chen's clutches.
