Huangfu Yongxian's loud shout did not startle Vulture Hunting Teeth, but it did make Tie Muer anxious.

If it were purely Ba Tu's sneak attack, Tie Muer wouldn't care; even with Wu Weiyang's ten thousand elite cavalry flanking, it wasn't too concerning.

Because there were too many people behind Tie Muer... just any two tribes could hold Wu Weiyang's men back at least.

But if the vanguard happened to collapse at this moment, then Tie Muer would start sweating all over.

Even Chi Li knew that Vulture Hunting Teeth might not persist to the death, so how could Tie Muer not know? No matter from which angle you look, other tribes wouldn't be loyal enough to be buried for you. The worse the situation gets, the more he can trust only his own Golden Wolf Army.

On both sides of the rear army, nomadic cavalry spread out, facing Ba Tu and Wu Weiyang; meanwhile, the central army moved vigorously, and Tie Muer's Golden Wolf Army finally pressed forward across the entire line.

Vulture Hunting Teeth was considering retreating, but the cries of battle rose behind him, and the overwhelming Golden Wolf Army surged forward.

Vulture Hunting Teeth had to reluctantly suppress his retreating thoughts, but his mind turned even more intensely.

This situation... this Golden Wolf Army had truly largely dismounted to fight the Han army formation hard, something that was previously impossible.

Tie Muer needed to maintain his absolute intimidating rule over all tribes; if the Golden Wolf Army was seriously depleted, even a great victory would bring him trouble—for example, Vulture Hunting Teeth could easily unite with Bo'e in secret to replace him, as Bo'e's sincere cooperation with Tie Muer was limited to this battle only.

Tie Muer could only drive other tribes to fight bloodily and exhaustingly, with his Golden Wolf Army serving only as the decisive climax, but at this moment, the desperate Tie Muer, to stabilize Vulture Hunting Teeth, actually pushed the Golden Wolf Army to the front recklessly.

Military is just the continuation of politics. Now, the hard battle capability of the various tribes on the grassland is indeed not as good as the Han, who are united, even if they have superiority in numbers.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Changhe was eager to launch a northern expedition. He wouldn't let the Longevity Heaven divine fully awaken and unite the entire grassland into a single force. As Vulture Hunting Teeth was contemplating, before he could make a new judgment, the Golden Wolf Army had already merged with his tribe, tangling with Huangfu Yongxian's formation.

Both sides continuously had people falling, while the soldiers from the rear quickly filled the gaps, and arrows rained down from above, turning the sand below soon into a vast red soil.

New vultures circled in the sky, observing the ant-like slaughter below, waiting for the night when the cries of killing would dissipate.

"Huh... what is going on there?" Vulture Hunting Teeth suddenly wondered.

The Ba Tu Tribe, previously decimated with heavy casualties, had spent the entire winter hiding in the desert, lacking food and clothing. Even with support, limited by logistics, their appearance to this day was that of scantily clad people, some with only half-worn leather armor, and horses so thin that their bones were visible, a typical "bunch of beggars." This kind of tribe, even if all mobilized, wouldn't be very formidable in battle, initially thought to be easily encircled and crushed.

However, right now, even Wu Weiyang's excellently equipped Eastern Route army fell into a fierce battle, while the Ba Tu Tribe on the west side instead broke through all the way, obliterating the tribes that Tie Muer had arranged for encirclement without much resistance. They easily pierced through, with severe casualties, making it impossible to contain them at all.

What's happening here? How could this beggar tribe be more elite than the Wu Weiyang army?

Iron Muer's roar came from the sky: "Ying Wu, you, a hero of the Heavenly List, are hiding in the Ba Tu army playing the role of a vice general, don't you have any shame!"

Vulture Hunting Teeth: "..."

Ying Wu's gentle and calm voice spread across the battlefield: "There's nothing I can do... The Great Khan has broken through, the shaman has broken through, King Zhao has broken through, Li Shentong has broken through, even my niece has broken through... But I'm stuck at that hurdle and can't find the door to breakthrough. In the world of gods and demons, even the Third Layer Secret Treasure is just like a pawn. With an expert like Vulture Hunting Teeth leading as the Great Khan's vanguard, isn't it normal for me to serve the King of Monan?"

Vulture Hunting Teeth twitched his lips.

I'm at the Third Layer Secret Treasure, but only just broke through to the early stage, standing right in front of Huangfu Yongxian. Even if Ying Wu hadn't broken through, he's at half-step Imperial Realm, using that against Ba Tu's "beggar army" tribes facing a half-step Imperial Realm person like Ying Wu, what's the point in fighting?

You, a half-step Imperial Realm, bullying ordinary tribal soldiers! This bandit is more shameless than both the Han and the Huns, truly a collapse of propriety and decorum, with no rules.

"Boom!" A golden spear shadow descended from the sky, straight towards the Ba Tu horses and men.

Ying Wu swiftly rose, extended a hand to dissipate the spear shadow in the sky, and without stopping, went back into battle above: "Since the Great Khan has invited the battle, I will risk my life to accompany you, gentlemen."

Even more shameless... Tie Muer might have slightly outmatched San Niang originally, but in the chaotic situation distracting him greatly, having to command and stabilize the ground, he was suppressed by San Niang. If he hadn't been strong enough, he'd have been done for long ago. Now with Ying Wu coming out and supporting San Niang in flanking, do you have the cheek to call it "risking your life to accompany gentlemen," isn't it taking advantage of illness to claim one's life?

Oh, is Yuan Sanniang also part of your Bandit Brotherhood... Is this how you all operate in the Brotherhood?

What's even more disgusting is that the rear formation has already been disrupted by him, and now it seems polite not to participate in the battle, what good does it do? Even if the Ba Tu Tribe were a group of pigs, they couldn't be encircled again. They are warriors who've spent a lifetime on horseback, who doesn't know the other, and once the adversary is in disarray, this group of beggars is enough to turn the entire battle upside down.
