In the blink of an eye, the lance that Su Puyan had thrown was already right in front of him, and Gongsun Xu could even feel the bone-piercing killing intent! He did not have the time to consider whether or not he should risk it and get off the horse to save Yan Rou. He hurriedly used both his legs to grip onto the horse's abdomen.

Clang! The pike tip of the pike touched the tip of the pike, causing the pike to shift slightly in the direction of the pike. The pike flew past Gongsun Xu's helmet and took away a long strand of red tassel, revealing an eye-catching scratch on the metal helmet. Gongsun Xu was instantly drenched in sweat. If he was even the slightest bit off, he would have been pierced through the neck by this spear!

Gongsun Xu's reaction was extremely fast, he threw the spear in his hand to the side in the air, and then raised his arms to protect his face, when he landed he rolled to the side to avoid the bodies of the beasts, he turned and grabbed his spear as he rushed towards Su Puyan. He knew that he could not escape, otherwise, he would only end up getting beheaded from behind by Su Puyan! At this moment, his entire body was covered in mud and blood. Countless small wounds were drawn on his face and hands, and more than ten broken arrows were stuck on his body. He looked extremely miserable.

Su Puyan galloped like a mad horse, his right hand holding onto the five foot long arc ring head knife tightly as he stared at Gongsun Xu's neck — He wanted to chop off this fellow's head in one slash, then turn it into a wine bottle and gift it to Qiu Liju as his successor. This way, he would be able to save his own life!

In the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, the ring head knife quickly replaced the sword and became the standard weapon for the Han Army. ring head knife's blade had a ring on its hilt, which allowed it to be tied with a rope or ornament. As a result, the blade became very narrow, had a long blade, and the back of the blade was very straight.

The Xianbei People's cavalry also used ring head knife s, but they were slightly different from the Han army's ring head knife s. Their blades curved slightly, and their blades were also a bit longer than the Han army's, more like a product of the combination of the Huns' scimitar and the Han army's ring head knife s. The blades used by the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry had some differences. The blades used by the former were heavier and longer.

This time, for the sake of speed and concealment, Qiu Liju had brought all the light cavalry.

"Kill!" In the blink of an eye, Su Puyan had already rushed in front of Gongsun Xu.

Su Puyan used a Hundred Refinement Steel Blade. With one slash, he would be able to cut the twenty copper coins stacked together, but the blade itself wouldn't be damaged at all. He had to pay a total of fifty beautiful girls to exchange for this blade from another tribe's king. Gongsun Xu's weapon seemed to have some advantages, but Su Puyan obviously did not think that way. He was not afraid of the pike in Gongsun Xu's hands, and using the impact from the war horse, he was confident that he could cut his opponent and his spear into two!

Gongsun Xu's spear was crafted entirely from fine steel, and it was as thick as his arm, weighing fifty-seven kilograms, and had a steady advantage over Su Puyan's weapon. However, the opponent was using his own strength to slash at him, he did not dare to block directly, and without caring about whether his face looked good, he immediately rolled to the side while doing a lazy roll, successfully dodging Su Puyan's strike.

Su Puyan was shocked, he did not expect Gongsun Xu to move so quickly, so he quickly pulled on the reins, preparing to turn around and kill Gongsun Xu before escaping. The man on the horse stood up, blood flowing out of his mouth. He turned his head and almost threw Su Puyan off his horse, but he managed to stabilize his body and struck Gongsun Xu again.

After Gongsun Xu rolled away, he quickly got up. Facing Su Puyan's second blade, he did not dodge nor step forward, but in the instant where the troops were separated, his body suddenly leaned back, and at the same time glided forward with both of his feet.

Su Puyan's slash actually missed again, causing his heart to instantly turn cold.

At this time, Gongsun Xu held onto the spear shaft with both of his hands. With a cracking sound, the right calf of Su Puyan's war horse was smashed into pieces, and its body fell onto the ground with a loud crash. Su Puyan was caught off guard and also rolled on the ground.

Gongsun Xu did not go forth to kill Su Puyan. Instead, he quickly turned and ran to Yan Rou's side, carried Yan Rou on her left shoulder and ran up the hill.

Wei Dun cheered out loudly, and his heart slightly relaxed.

Su Puyan crawled up, holding his blade, he was ready to catch up.

One of Su Puyan's trusted aides, called Ba Tu, jumped down from the horse and passed the reins to him, saying anxiously: "King Ku, get on the horse!"

Su Puyan got on his horse and shouted: "Bartul, bring a thousand men to stop Wei Dun! Even if they all die, we have to hold them all off! "

"Don't worry, King Ku. Unless we are all dead, Wei Dun won't be able to take a step forward!"

"If you don't die, I'll give you five thousand men when we get back!" Su Puyan made a promise, waved his hand and shouted: "Charge over! Cut Gongsun kid into minced meat! "

Since he was unable to kill Gongsun Xu with just two slashes, Su Puyan had lost some of his confidence. Furthermore, time was of the essence, as long as he could kill Gongsun Xu, he would not care about giving face to the tribe's Xiao Wang!

Liu He was shocked when he saw Su Puyan splitting up the troops to stop Wei Dun. He immediately ordered Wang Wei to bring some people to help.

Yang Hong's Ten Thousand Square Formation also slowly turned around, pressing towards the south.

The slope of the small hill was small, running from the bottom to the top in less than a hundred steps. Under normal circumstances, Gongsun Xu would be able to reach the top in a few breaths. It was just that after going through a round of slaughter, he was carrying another person, and was still holding onto a long spear that weighed fifty-seven kilograms, and his footsteps were truly too slow. Just as he ran for fifty to sixty steps, Su Puyan and a group of cavalry of Xianbei s caught up, blade lights flickering, dozens of blades slashed towards Gongsun Xu at the same time!

The long spear in his hand danced continuously, killing over a dozen people in a row, barely blocking the majority of the fatal attacks. However, the thick and heavy armor on his body had a few cuts on it, the wounds couldn't stop bleeding, and the heaviest cut on the back was caused by Su Puyan. In the blink of an eye, Gongsun Xu was surrounded by no less than a hundred people. It seemed like he already had no way of escaping.

Wei Dun had already seen that Gongsun Xu was on the brink of death and was so anxious that his eyes turned red. Wei Dun crazily beheaded the enemy in front of him, he wanted to grow his wings and save Gongsun Xu but Bartul and the others ordered him to do so. They suffered heavy casualties, but did not retreat even half a step.

Su Puyan turned around and saw that Batur had already brought people to stop Wei Dun, giving him enough time to kill him. He shouted, "Those who kill Gongsun Xu will be rewarded 50 Han girls and 200 Ox-Horses each!"

His subordinates cheered as they fought to be the first to attack Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Xu's fists could not fight against a hundred hands, new wounds were constantly being added to his body. At this moment, he was feeling extremely regretful, he should not have made such a risky plan just for the sake of being greedy! If he died here today, he would die with grievance!

Liu He who was watching the fight from a distance muttered with a pale face, "It's over! Gongsun Xu was dead for sure! If I knew that this would happen, I wouldn't have agreed to his plan! "

If not for the fact that Su Puyan was so angry that he lost all sense of reason and wanted to cut off Gongsun Xu's head so that he could bring him back, he only needed to let his subordinates trample on his head. With a few thousand horses, he could easily trample both Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou into meat paste!

Su Puyan took the chance and took the opportunity while Gongsun Xu was staggering to launch a sneak attack from the back of his head.

Gongsun Xu heard the sound of wind coming from behind him, but he was unable to dodge it.

Su Puyan's slash still did not behead Gongsun Xu, but it left another long wound on his shoulder.

"Go to hell!" Su Puyan galloped his horse forward and waved his blade at Gongsun Xu for the fifth time!

After Gongsun Xu fell to the ground, he barely managed to roll over. Right now his entire body was as heavy as a thousand kilograms, and he was too lazy to even move his fingers, he could only watch helplessly as the blade slashed down.

"Don't you dare hurt my lord!" Right at this moment of crisis, a loud shout came from the top of the hill, following that, a four feet five inch long huge feather arrow flew over at lightning speed, aimed straight for Su Puyan's head!

This arrow was not only fast, but it also emitted a low buzzing sound when it flew. From this, one could tell just how amazing the power of this arrow was! Even though he was wearing three layers of heavy armor, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

If Su Puyan insisted on killing Gongsun Xu, his head would definitely be pierced through by this arrow! He didn't want to perish together with Gongsun Xu, so he hurriedly retracted his blade and somersaulted down.

Leader was precisely Zhao Yun who had forced Su Puyan to dismount from his horse. While running, he also released arrows, and after sprinting seven to eight steps, he had already shot down all of the enemies surrounding Gongsun Xu. The rest of the people behind Zhao Yun also released their arrows, preventing the nearby enemies from approaching Gongsun Xu.

Zhao Yun rushed into the crowd like a gust of wind, his hands never made a single move against the enemy, only seeing silver gun flashing, blood arrows shooting out, and the Wu Huan Cavalry soldiers screaming in pain one after another.

Gongsun Jia was the second one to rush down. He jumped down from his horse and rushed in front of Gongsun Xu, and when he saw Gongsun Xu's body covered in wounds and blood, his eyes immediately turned scarlet red. Young master! How are your injuries? "

Gongsun Xu exhaled lightly. He wanted to say something, but he felt that his lips were extremely heavy.
