The Xiongnu originally thought that with the appearance of their archers, they would surely be able to subdue Lin Tian's army.
After all, their archers were not only skilled but also particularly effective against cavalry.
Who would have thought that Lin Tian's army seemed to understand them so well? When their archers attacked, Lin Tian's cavalry actually raised their shields.
Those small shields directly blocked the deadly attacks of the Xiongnu archers, leaving them with no recourse.
Not only that, but the Qin cavalry, charging with their small shields, was clearly even more ferocious than before.
The powerful charge was too much for the Xiongnu cavalry at the forefront to withstand.
More importantly, through this charge, the Qin cavalry had closed in on the Xiongnu archers.
This posed a fatal threat to the Xiongnu archers.
The sound of retreat echoed in many ears.
"Retreat, quickly order the archers to retreat!"
"Archers, leave here first! Those Qin cavalry are too fierce, we must not let them get close!"
"Go, leave now, we'll find another opportunity to shoot down these Qin cavalry later!"
Clearly, the Xiongnu greatly valued their archers. Seeing that the Qin cavalry had threatened their archers' safety, they immediately ordered their archers to retreat.
The decisiveness of their action surprised even the Qin cavalry.
However, since Wang Wu and the others had already gotten close to the archers, how could they allow them to retreat?
A series of fierce attacks caught the archers completely off guard.
By the time the archers realized what was happening and tried to escape, it was already too late.
"No, save me, save me quickly!!"
"Damn it, how can these Qin cavalry be so fast!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet!"
Relatively speaking, these archers were more timid. Although their killing power was great, many of them lacked the courage of ordinary cavalry.
All sorts of cries for help erupted at this moment.
However, it was too late for them to call for help now.
All that awaited them was the cold swords of the Qin cavalry.
In the next moment, a large number of Xiongnu archers were killed.
This turn of events greatly changed the expressions of the Xiongnu soldiers.
Many of them looked extremely grim.
Especially seeing Wang Wu and the others charging even faster, the Xiongnu soldiers were at a loss for what to do for a while.
"These Qin cavalry are too fierce, our men can't hold them back for now!"
"If this continues, we might suffer a heavy loss!"
"These Qin cavalry are not weak overall. If this trend continues, it will be difficult for us to break through the defense of these Qin armies and cut through them!"
The Xiongnu had never expected that the Qin cavalry, whom they regarded as prey, would be so powerful.
This kind of power left them helpless for a time.
They had no idea how to deal with the Qin cavalry.
This was supposed to be a frontal engagement, yet they held no advantage whatsoever.
This was undoubtedly a terrifying prospect for the Xiongnu.
"No, we can't keep fighting them like this. We must find a breakthrough elsewhere!"
Clearly, they could no longer find a breakthrough through the Qin cavalry.
Therefore, their gaze quickly fell back to Lin Tian.
Around Lin Tian, a large number of Xiongnu cavalry still surrounded him, and Lin Tian continued to slaughter them ferociously.
His killing ability was terrifying; at least several thousand Xiongnu cavalry had fallen beneath his warhorse.
Yet, even so, the Xiongnu commander still felt that the Qin cavalry posed a greater threat.
Human strength had its limits, and Lin Tian was only one person; no matter how powerful he was, he would eventually tire.
The Xiongnu commander firmly believed that Lin Tian alone could not wipe out their entire Xiongnu army.
But the Qin cavalry was different. They were numerous, their killing was fierce, and the destructive power they caused was far beyond what an individual could achieve.
Even if one Qin cavalry soldier killed two Xiongnu cavalry soldiers, their Xiongnu army would be defeated.
But Lin Tian was different. Even if he personally killed tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, it would not have a significant impact on their Xiongnu army.
With this thought, the Xiongnu commander looked at Lin Tian and said through gritted teeth:
"Mobilize more soldiers to surround and kill the Qin army's commander. He is almost exhausted. If we kill him, this Qin army will amount to nothing!"
"Then, we will surely be able to overwhelm the Qin army and break through Yanmen Pass!"
Upon hearing this, many Xiongnu soldiers hesitated.
After all, Lin Tian's combat effectiveness was indeed impressive, with thousands already dead at his hands.
If more soldiers were to reach Lin Tian, their fate would likely be the same as those Xiongnu cavalry who died by his hand.
But looking at the still ferocious Qin cavalry, they felt that capturing Lin Tian was indeed a quicker method.
Lin Tian had killed so many people; he must be exhausted.
Therefore, many Xiongnu generals agreed with the order.
After Lin Tian had slain a large number of Xiongnu cavalry, he found that the number of Xiongnu cavalry around him had not decreased but instead had increased.
This situation made Lin Tian smile.
"It seems that Wang Wu and the others have put immense pressure on these Xiongnu cavalry, so they can't deal with our Qin cavalry and are instead trying to deal with me!"
"However, this idea is far too naive!"
Having said that, Lin Tian's gaze shifted to the rear of the Xiongnu army.
He could clearly see that in the far rear of the Xiongnu army, several Xiongnu generals were commanding the troops.
Among them, the Xiongnu commander's face was grim as he surveyed the battlefield, appearing to be deep in thought.
Seeing him, Lin Tian's target became clear.
"Since the Xiongnu army can no longer suppress our cavalry, it is time to end this battle!"
Lin Tian had stayed here before, waiting for the Xiongnu army to surround him, precisely because he wanted to tie down the Xiongnu cavalry's forces and relieve the pressure on Wang Wu and the others.
Now that Wang Wu and the others had stabilized the situation and gained the advantage, it was time to completely dominate this battle and end it.
With this in mind, Lin Tian no longer stood his ground, waiting for more Xiongnu cavalry to surround him.
Instead, he held his sword and charged directly into the depths of the Xiongnu army.
The Xiongnu might not have been entirely clear about Lin Tian's objective.
However, as soon as Lin Tian charged, Wang Wu and the others understood.
Lin Tian's objective was very clear: he intended to attack the Xiongnu commander and end the war.
This also ignited the fighting spirit of Wang Wu and the others.
"Charge! Follow the Great General's lead, cut through them!!"
