<h4>Chapter 193</h4>


    In an instant, hundreds of the densely packed soldiers were hit, causing significant death and injury. No one dared to step forward right away.


    Seeing this, Ge Qing quickly spoke to a few women nearby,


    "You all protect me while we go down, I will open the city gates!"


    The Xiongnu soldiers defending at the base of the city tower saw a few women, without even any armor, daring to execute such a dangerous task of opening the city gates. Contempt was evident on their faces.


    Looking at their slender arms and legs, that were not even as thick as their own, one could notprehend, why were they on the battlefield when they should be well taken care of at home?


    It was not like they looked down upon women; their alliance included many strong women deserving of respect. But those strong women had waistlines as big as their men.


    The Xiongnu, unlike those from the Central ins, revered wild beauty. The stronger the men or women, the greater the respect they earned.


    In contrast, these slender Central ins people, looking as if they''d fall with a gust of wind, were looked down upon from the bottom of their hearts.


    "Ugh, these fragile women dared to step onto the battlefield?"


    "Has the Central ins run out of people?"


    "Look at that small waist, not as thick as my arm, ugh!"


    "Should we report this to the general and ask him to be on guard?"


    "Report? There is nothing to guard against these few little women. They''re just bluffing. I alone could deal with them."


    "Do you think the Central ins has realized they''re useless, so they''ve decided to use the beauty trap? Hahaha!" The Xiongnu soldiers guarding did not take these weak women seriously. They even ridiculed them.


    However—


    Within the next second, they regretted. Regretted so much that they cried out in despair!


    These women, as soon as they came, pulled out daggers and started a closebat warfare with the Xiongnu soldiers, triggering a wave ofughter among them.


    Hey, wrestling is our strength!


    But who would have expected, these Central ins women were slippery like eels, their moves were swift, ruthless, precise, and entirely unconventional.


    Before the soldiers could even exert strength, they saw the women grab, pull, twist, release, and they were on the ground.


    "Pfft—" A noise much like that rang.


    It was over just like that!


    There was even something more horrifying, a slim woman grabbed a man who weighed more than two hundred pounds and threw him over her shoulder.


    At this sight, every Xiongnu''s eyes widened in shock. They already hadrge eyes but at this moment, they looked like giant copper bells, jaws dropping in disbelief.


    That man weighed twice as much as the woman!


    How did she manage to wrestle him to the ground that way?!


    Oh, my god!!!


    Were all these women tremendously strong?


    When did the Central ins start pledging allegiance to force?


    Aren''t the people of Central ins supposed to be weak and literate ???


    Before they could even wrap their heads around it, their throats were shed due to their negligence, and the city gates were opened by the women.


    "Kill!"


    "Retake the city for this general!"


    The imperial forces rushed in immediately after.


    This time, the course of the battle changed.


    The ones running for lives were no longer the weak Central ins people.


    The Xiongnu people, who were executioners until yesterday, at this moment, were transformed into fish on a chopping board being ughtered.


    The Xiongnu stared at the pce soldiers who rushed in suddenly, baffled, "What, what''s happening? Why was there no horn for the iing enemy?"


    "How did these central ins people charge in here?"


    "Where are the soldiers guarding the walls?"


    "Ahah!"


    "Boom, boom, boom-"


    "The enemy is here! Quick! Quick!"


    The city echoed with war cries, asionally interrupted by the booming sts of gunpowder, indiscriminately killing clusters of enemies.


    In less than an hour, the Xiongnu once again abandoned the invaded town and fled to their homnd.


    They gave up on theirst city as well!


    This time, they were terrified!


    The central ins had that-esque booming sound, mighty female warriors who frightened them, so what else are they fighting for?!


    Whose flesh could withstand those gunpowder explosions.


    Not to mention those muscr women, who looked as fragile as sprouts, but when they fought, they were nimble and incredibly strong.


    They were even more formidable than the mightiest soldiers on the grasnds!


    They orderly fled back to the grasnds, as long as they could scatter around, they would disappear from sight of the imperial troops.


    Then they could remain free on the grasnds like before,, ambushing imperial soldiers when they lowered their guard, pose a threat and steal some food from the border towns.


    However, once again, their calctions were off!


    No, more urately, ever since they stepped into the central ins, ughtered civilians, even brutally hung people''s bodies on city gates, they had incited the wrath of the central ins.


    This time, they had to leave their corpses on the central ins, using their blood and regrets at thest moment to atone for those innocently murdered civilians!


    When the Xiongnu rushed to Aopingkou mountain range at night, the special forces who had been ambushing them for a day started pushing down stones when they saw the shadows of the enemy flee towards them.


    "Boom, boom, boom-"


    "We were ambushed!"


    "Damn these central-ins people!"


    "This cannot be! How can there be anyone here, what is that thing they''ve smeared on their faces?! Quick, retreat!"


    "Quickly retreat!"


    Suddenly, the rolling stones came thundering down, killing many of the Xiongnu soldiers.


    Zhou Qichen and the special forces chased them over the hills, pushing them towards another path alreadyid with ambush.


    Just cross this bridge, and ahead was the border between the Central ins and the Grasnds.


    They were safe!


    All Xiongnu soldiers felt a surge of ecstasy, as if they could see the furious, helpless look in the eyes of the central ins soldiers.


    However, the few cries of terror ahead shattered all hopes of the soldiers.


    "Another ambush? ! ! !"


    "Why the hell again?!"


    "What did the Central ins create that’s so terrifying?"


    They''ve gone mad!


    The central ins have gone mad!


    Retreat!


    But when they retreated, they found that the soldiers from behind caught up.


    They were surrounded at this point, and besides the two roads forward and backward, there was no third ce for them to escape.


    There were cliffs on both sides!


    Thest few grenades finally came in handy.


    "Boom, boom, boom!"


    "Ah-"


    "Ah-ah!"


    A dozen hand grenades were mercilessly thrown over, and the remaining Xiongnu soldiers were nearly all killed.


    The remaining few thousand soldiers were exterminated right here by Zhou Qichen, who united with another general.


    Further away, in the town, General Guan had previously split the Xiongnu''s vast army into two. The initial half was ambushed and killed by Zhou Qichen and his allies. Thetter half of the soldiers were retained and offered as bloody sacrifices to the deceased civilians.


    This war resulted in an unprecedented victory.


    The Xiongnu army suffered heavy losses. At the very least, they wouldn''t dare to invade the Central ins for the next couple of years.
