Seeing the Anning Garrison being chased by Xiongnu Cavalry, Sheng Huai'an didn't even think about it.

"Let's go, we'll support them!"

"Give me all the arrowheads you have!" At the same time, Sheng Huai'an took the arrowheads from several soldiers.

There were over thirty arrowheads in total.

Sheng Huai'an led the soldiers and charged towards the friendly forces.

At the same time, he directly spent points to upgrade his archer.

Name: Sheng Huai'an

Race: Human

Realm: Martial Practitioner (Early Stage) (+)

Cultivation Techniques: [Ferocious Ox Strength (Minor Accomplishment)] (+) [Blood Fiend Saber Technique (Minor Accomplishment)] (+)

Strength: 2900 jin

Talent: Bronze Archer (+)

Slaughter Value: 185

Last night's battle yielded 150 points of Slaughter Value, meaning he had killed at least a hundred Xiongnu enemies.

With 185 points of Slaughter Value, there were plus signs for his cultivation, cultivation techniques, and saber technique.

This meant he could become stronger again, but Sheng Huai'an wasn't in a hurry to upgrade.

Facing the Xiongnu Cavalry now, the best offensive method was archery.

That's why he chose to spend points to upgrade his archer level.

Upgrading his archer level cost twenty points of Slaughter Value, raising his archer level to Silver Archer.

After his archer was upgraded to Silver, he felt his current archery skill was terrifyingly strong.

While running, Sheng Huai'an directly took out three arrowheads, nocked them, and drew his bow.

With a single shot, three arrowheads instantly killed three Xiongnu Cavalrymen.

Tang Yunshan, Hai Dahe, and the others were stunned.

This was too amazing, five hundred meters away, one shot fired three arrowheads, and each one killed a Xiongnu Cavalryman?!

Was he cheating?

Those were Xiongnu Cavalrymen, not infantry. Cavalry moved fast, and it was difficult for most people to hit them.

"Captain, your archery is simply too awesome," Hai Dahe couldn't help but praise.

Tang Yunshan glanced at Hai Dahe, surprised that this seemingly honest fellow had learned to flatter and curry favor.

The moment three Xiongnu Cavalrymen were killed, the Xiongnu forces also noticed Sheng Huai'an and his group.

"Friendly forces, there are friendly forces, that's great, we're saved," a soldier being chased shouted happily.

"What are you shouting about? Hurry up and run! These are Xiongnu Cavalry, and we're infantry. Facing cavalry, aren't we just waiting to die if we don't run?" another soldier said.

There were over thirty Xiongnu Cavalrymen, seemingly a small squad.

"Damn it, how dare you shoot my Xiongnu Wolf Cavalry," the Xiongnu Cavalry squad leader was furious.

"Another group of Wei soldiers, they must be the ones who attacked the camp last night. Cut off their heads and claim the reward," the Xiongnu Cavalry squad leader shouted.

The next moment, the Xiongnu Cavalry turned and charged towards Sheng Huai'an and his group.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!"

Three more arrowheads were shot out, still hitting their mark perfectly, directly killing three Xiongnu Cavalrymen.

Seeing the Xiongnu Cavalry turn and charge towards them, Sheng Huai'an had no intention of dodging.

He might as well use this squad of Xiongnu Cavalry to practice his archery.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!"

Three arrows shot out simultaneously, and three charging Xiongnu Cavalrymen fell from their horses.

In just a short while, this squad of Xiongnu Cavalry had lost a third of its men.

"Awesome, Captain, awesome!" Tang Yunshan couldn't help but shout.

Unfortunately, he lacked the vocabulary, so "awesome" covered everything.

When he saw the Xiongnu Cavalry turn towards them, he had wanted to tell Sheng Huai'an to quickly lead the team to escape.

Now it seemed that was completely unnecessary.

The other soldiers looked at Sheng Huai'an with eyes full of admiration and respect.

Who knew their Captain was also a divine archer.

"Charge, kill them for me!"

The Xiongnu Cavalry squad leader roared. In a short while, Sheng Huai'an had shot down nine cavalrymen. He couldn't face his fallen warriors if he didn't take Sheng Huai'an's head.

These were all friends and family from their tribe, his family.

Sheng Huai'an watched the Xiongnu cavalry squad leader nock an arrow and draw his bow, firing.

The squad leader, who was leading the charge, widened his pupils as an arrow shot towards him like lightning.

"Chii!!"

Blood splattered, and his body flew backward heavily. He felt the world spin, and then the sky lost its color.

Sheng Huai'an shot and killed the Xiongnu cavalry squad leader, then continued to nock and draw his bow, firing three arrows at once, killing three more Xiongnu cavalrymen.

They were infantry, and they couldn't let the cavalry get close to charge. Otherwise, ordinary soldiers wouldn't be able to deal with the Xiongnu cavalry at all.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!"

Three more arrows shot out, and three more charging Xiongnu cavalrymen fell.

In a short time, Sheng Huai'an had shot and killed half of the thirty-man Xiongnu cavalry squad.

"The opponent is a divine archer, run!" a Xiongnu cavalryman cried out in terror, his courage broken.

One arrow per enemy, before they could even reach the opponent, they would probably all be shot dead.

On the other side, those twenty-odd Anning Garrison soldiers saw Sheng Huai'an displaying his might, shooting Xiongnu cavalrymen like he was shooting plump doves, one arrow after another. They stopped fleeing and stared with wide eyes, watching Sheng Huai'an's display of power.

The Xiongnu cavalry squad was terrified and turned to flee.

Sheng Huai'an's bow and arrows moved even faster. If he saw them, they were his prey. Did they think they could escape without his permission?

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Three more fleeing Xiongnu cavalrymen fell.

Seeing his prey trying to escape, Sheng Huai'an exerted all his strength and sprinted, while circulating his Martial True Essence, continuing to nock and draw his bow, firing three arrows at once.

The three slower Xiongnu cavalrymen were pierced through by the arrows and fell from their horses, looking back at the retreating figures of their companions with unwillingness.

They were forever buried in this grassland.

Watching the nine cavalrymen escape, Sheng Huai'an felt helpless. Damn it, they ran too fast.

Were they born from rabbits? They ran so fast.

"Long live the Captain, the Captain is mighty!" Hai Dahe shouted loudly, cheering for Sheng Hu'an.

In their eyes, Sheng Huai'an was too formidable, a single man with a bow, forcing a squad of Xiongnu cavalry to flee.

They had never witnessed such a feat before.

"Long live the Captain!!"

The other soldiers also cheered. Soldiers in the army admired the strong.

From the night battle at dawn to repelling the Xiongnu cavalry alone with a bow, Sheng Huai'an had conquered them.

If they had obeyed Sheng Huai'an before due to military orders, now they were genuinely convinced.

"Alright, quickly go and scavenge food and water from the Xiongnu cavalry, and bring back the horses," Sheng Huai'an quickly instructed.

When their masters died, the trained warhorses did not panic and run wildly but stopped not far away.

On this grassland, horses were important means of transportation, and they had to be brought back quickly.

Following Sheng Huai'an's words, Tang Yunshan and the others quickly went to scavenge water and food from the Xiongnu cavalry.

They didn't let go of the sabers, bows, and arrows either.

All twenty-one warhorses were also intact and were brought back.

"These Xiongnu warhorses are truly magnificent and sturdy," Tang Yunshan said with a smile.

"We've got some food and water, and quite a few bows and arrows," Hai Dahe said, bringing over the scavenged food, water, and weapons with his men.

"Brother Huai'an, it's really you!" a burly man rushed over.

Sheng Huai'an heard the voice and looked over, seeing Wang Wu running towards them, covered in dirt.

"Old Brother Wang Wu?!" Sheng Huai'an was surprised, not expecting to meet someone from his old squad here.

"Brother Huai'an, it's great to see you. You almost didn't get to see your brother," Wang Wu ran over and hugged Sheng Huai'an.

"You're going to crush me. Two grown men hugging and embracing, what kind of behavior is that?" Sheng Huai'an quickly pushed Wang Wu away. He wasn't into that.

"Brother Wang, why are you here? Where are Uncle and the others?" Sheng Huai'an asked.

"Alas, it's a long story!" Wang Wu sighed helplessly.

Sheng Huai'an rolled his eyes: "Then make it a short story!"
