Ancient Drought: The Official Sacrificed Beauties, I Took Them All In

Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...

Chapter 159 What are these Huns up to?

"Don't worry, sir. Even if we don't eat or drink tonight, we sisters will try our best to make 500 parachutes before dawn tomorrow."

"My lord, I think those men can also get moving."

"We girls will do the sewing and mending, but the cutting and braiding can be done by the men."

"This way, the speed will be even faster."

“If you are only sewing these simple things, all of us thousands of women can do it. We just need to assign the work.”

These ladies from prominent families truly live up to their name.

They are not only literate, but also capable of making overall plans and arrangements.

"Qin Hongyu, these girls are in your care. We've taken so much cloth from the Xiongnu tribes, we're giving it all to them."

Qin Hongyu nodded repeatedly.

Princess Xue'er stepped down from the carriage and walked towards Jiang Tian with a smile.

Princess Xue'er truly lives up to her reputation as someone who has received royal etiquette training.

This little girl never smiles and never walks in a crowd.

"Xue'er, what brings you here?" Jiang Tian greeted her.

"Let me see if I can help. Since the girls are all here to help, I can't fall behind."

The girls had already unloaded all the fabric from the carriage.

They drew lines, and they cut things out.

“These are all rough and clumsy jobs. As a person of noble birth, you don’t need to do these things. Besides, one more person won’t make a difference.”

Princess Xue'er shook her head: "Young master, I've been in the carriage long enough. I want to stay with my sisters."

"Alright..." Seeing that Princess Xue'er was so insistent, Jiang Tian no longer objected.

…………

A dark and windy night.

King Youguli organized 20,000 troops within the royal city.

“My brave warriors of the Xiongnu, the Xia people have already reached our doorstep, we must not let them go.”

"promise……"

"Tonight we'll storm their camp. This time, I'll make them all die."

"promise……"

"The Great Chanyu is watching us, warriors, follow me out of the city and wipe them all out."

With a command given.

The city gate slowly opened.

King Youguli swung his scimitar forward sharply: "Follow me out of the city quietly, and be quick."

Soon, more than 20,000 people filed out of the city.

After leaving the city, they sped off into the distance.

More than 20,000 cavalrymen charged out from all four city gates.

At this moment, Huo Qubing, who was lying in ambush not far away, was overjoyed when he saw it.

"Soldiers, follow me stealthily. If we get into the city tonight, things will be much easier." Huo Qubing wasn't concerned about eliminating the Xiongnu cavalry that had come out of the city.

Huo Qubing was always thinking about how to sneak into the city.

With a command from Huo Qubing.

These cavalrymen quickly and stealthily headed straight for the main city.

Meanwhile, the soldiers guarding the city wall were completely unaware of what was happening.

Huo Qubing took the lead, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Spear, charging at the very front of the column.

While King Youxian was on the city tower, he suddenly heard a series of barks coming from the city gate.

"Your Majesty, the Right Guli King led his troops away, why have they returned?" These Xiongnu people are brave and fierce; they are all born warriors.

Although Huo Qubing's actions were extremely secretive, thousands of warhorses galloped forward across the grasslands.

The momentum cannot be eliminated at all.

"Oh no!" Upon hearing the sounds from afar, the Right Wise King of the Xiongnu immediately realized that someone must be heading towards their capital.

"Those people are not under the command of King Youguli."

"They are very likely cavalrymen from the Great Xia Dynasty."

"We went to raid the Xia people's camp, but the Xia people then raided our capital city."

"Quickly launch rockets to light up that area ahead."

"Close the city gates; do not let any Xia people in."

With a command from the Right Wise King.

The archers on the city wall quickly fired arrows into the distance.

After the arrows fell, they all stuck into the ground.

These arrows are all fire arrows.

The area three or four hundred meters from the royal city was illuminated by rockets.

No cavalry could be seen in the area illuminated by the rockets.

This means that Huo Qubing's cavalry were more than three or four hundred meters away from the capital.

When Huo Qubing saw the rockets being fired down from the city wall, he immediately realized that his whereabouts had been exposed.

Huo Qubing now faces only two paths.

Either launch an attack quickly, or give up halfway.

Huo Qubing was definitely not the kind of person who would give up halfway.

"Soldiers, victory is within reach! Charge forward in one fell swoop!" Huo Qubing swung his Silver Dragon Reverse Scale Spear with a whooshing sound.

The army followed Huo Qubing and galloped forward at high speed.

In an instant, Huo Qubing and his men had rushed to the front of the burning rockets.

The Xiongnu saw Huo Qubing's cavalry amidst the flames, and the Right Wise King roared angrily: "Close the city gates now! What are you dawdling about?"

Must we wait until the enemy storms into the city?

“Right Valley King, take your men to the city gate and block the Xia people.”

"The archers fired arrows at these cavalrymen with all their might."

With each command given...

The heavy sound of the city gates closing rang out.

On the city wall, rockets rained down like raindrops.

The rockets flying through the air were like brilliant shooting stars.

The arrows struck Huo Qubing and his men with clanging sounds and sparks.
