Volume 1 Chapter 21 Yang Wudi's Shock

Just as Bai Qi was riding at full speed towards Honghua City with the Hun captives.

A team of scouts had already left ahead of them.

This was the person Pan Hu specially sent to supervise Bai Qi and his group.

Honghua City.

"Report——"

A sharp military report disturbed Pan Hu's sweet dream. He waved his hand and asked the pretty maid beside him to put on her clothes. Then he waved his hand excitedly, "Come in and report."

The scout walked in, glanced at the maid's beauty, then lowered his head and said, "Sir, something has happened with Bai Qi."

"Were they all killed by the Huns? Don't worry, this is what I arranged."

"Let me guess. The Xiongnu cavalry caught Bai Qi off guard, cut him into pieces, and fed him to the dogs, right?"

Pan Hu laughed loudly and reached out to rub the maid comfortably.

However, he didn't hear any response from the scout for a long time, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Sir, Bai Qi is not dead. He, he killed the Xiongnu cavalry."

The scout said stiffly.

"What!?"

Pan Hu's smile froze on his face, then he grabbed the porcelain bottle on the table and smashed it hard on the scout's face.

bump!

The porcelain vase broke into pieces.

The scout's face was hit and blood was oozing out.

But he didn't dare to hide, because they were the Pan family's retainers, and their lives and deaths were in the hands of the Pan family.

"Two hundred cavalrymen against infantrymen failed to kill Bai Qi? Are the Huns idiots?"

Pan Hu was furious. "Tell me, what's going on?"

The scout then described what he had seen.

The next moment, even the pretty maid next to her covered her mouth and cried out in shock:

"He used his spear to knock down the charging horses and cavalry, and used the horses as hammers."

"What's even more exaggerated is that he jumped two meters high, used his spear as an arrow, and pinned the galloping horse to the ground."

“Is this something a human can do?”

"Are you lying to the young master?"

Pan Hu also had a screwed expression. He drew out his sword and slashed at the scout. "What the hell! How dare you make up such a lie?"

And at this moment, a voice of reporting was heard.

"Report - Sir, something bad has happened, Bai Qi has returned to the city!"

"He also brought Hun prisoners with him."

With a clang.

The sword in Pan Hu's hand fell to the ground.

His eyes were full of horror.

Bai Qi is really not dead, what the scout said is true.

How is this possible?

Is Bai Qi a human or a monster?

........

At this moment, Honghua City was in an uproar.

Bai Qi led the way, with Hun captives tied to the horses behind him, and the grain-carrying team following closely behind. They were all cavalry, and they galloped through the streets of Honghua City.

Majestic.

He roared: "Big victory, big victory!"

"Two hundred Xiongnu cavalrymen launched a surprise attack, and Lord Bai Qi killed 51 of the enemies, captured 43 Xiongnu horses, 51 swords, and captured the Xiongnu cavalry leader alive."

boom--

In an instant, the whole city was boiling.

"Big victory, big victory, big victory!"

In Honghua City, whether it was the common people or the soldiers, they all felt their blood boiling at this moment.

They spontaneously made way and lined the streets to welcome them.

"Wind, wind, wind!"

The old Qin people were even more excited, and each of them looked at Bai Qi with admiration.

The young women on both sides of the road had bright and beautiful eyes, and some of them were so bold that they just threw away the handkerchiefs in their hands.

Erniu laughed and muttered, "So white, so beautiful, so fragrant!"

He even saw the girl winking at him, and he felt as if he had been electrocuted and almost fell off his horse.

The soldiers of the grain-carrying team were even more proud. They belonged to the logistics army and had never enjoyed such treatment before. They felt very proud.

.........

Honghua City, the central army camp.

Yang Wudi had already received the battle report, but the shock on his face had not yet dissipated.

He immediately ordered: "Pass my order, Bai Qi, show our military might, and line up the whole army to welcome the victorious warriors of the Great Zhou!"

The soldiers were all stunned.

Is it really appropriate to treat a sergeant like this?

Yang Tianbao frowned and said, "Father, this is too grand."

“You don’t understand!”

"Bai Qi led 100 old, weak and sick soldiers in the grain transport team and was able to fight against 200 Xiongnu cavalry. This kind of record is rare in the world."

Yang Wudi looked at his son with deep eyes and said, "No general in the Great Zhou can do this."

What? !

Yang Tianbao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he cried out in shock, "Even father, can't you do this?"

"If I lead my trained men, I can!"

Yang Wudi paused and emphasized, "But these grain-carrying teams are not Bai Qi's subordinates. It is difficult for Bai Qi to command them. Bai Qi is only a sergeant!"

"Don't you know how difficult this is?"

At this moment, Yang Tianbao realized that Bai Qi was just a sergeant in charge of only five people.

How difficult it was to lead the grain transport team to fight against the Hun cavalry.

The most important thing is that these people in the grain transportation team are not from Qin.

It is extremely difficult to gain command, let alone to make these people fight to the death.

Yang Tianbao's expression at this moment was full of shock, complexity, and admiration.

Yang Tianbao no longer hesitated and immediately followed Yang Wudi to welcome Bai Qi with the most solemn etiquette.

But Bai Qi didn't care about all this. He rode his horse straight over and just when Yang Wudi's soldiers were about to scold Bai Qi.

A shocking piece of information came out of Bai Qi's mouth.

"Reporting to the commander, I have received news from the prisoners that the five great Hun Khans have united and led a million soldiers to launch a full-scale attack on the Great Zhou!"

One sentence set the entire military camp in an uproar.

All the soldiers' faces changed drastically.

If this is true, it will be a catastrophe.

A million-strong army is enough to flatten Honghua City.

They will all be buried here.

And their wives, children and parents left behind may also suffer the consequences.

At this time, no one cared whether Bai Qi's barracks were galloping wildly or whether it was a challenge to the commander's authority.

Everyone looked at Yang Wudi nervously.

Yang Wudi was also terrified, and immediately ordered those in the army who knew the Xiongnu language to ask the Xiongnu captives, "Tell me quickly, is the information Bai Qi said true?"

I know that the Xiongnu captive pouted his lips with an arrogant look on his face and said, "You are not worthy to ask me!"

As he spoke, he raised his head.

The soldiers who saw this wanted to draw their swords and chop him into meat paste.

At this time, Bai Qi kicked the Xiongnu captive and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense. Tell me everything you know."

The Xiongnu captive immediately bowed to Bai Qi and said, "Yes! Respected warrior."

This scene made the surrounding soldiers look at each other in bewilderment.

Now they finally believed what was said in the battle report, because the Huns respected the strong, and only if they were scared would they be so submissive.

And the next moment, as the Hun cavalry spoke, the soldiers felt their scalps tingling.

Combined with their military reports and the sudden loss of contact with the three border towns.

They have basically confirmed the accuracy of the news.

The Huns are really going to invade with a large army.

Yang Wudi felt cold all over. Now the Great Zhou was still thinking about the marriage alliance and had not made any preparations for war. This war would be a life-and-death struggle!

"Come here, rush eight hundred miles, report the information to the capital, and request support!"

"in addition."

"Bai Qi killed the Xiongnu and brought back important intelligence. He deserves a reward!"

"Please ask the court to give Bai Qi a reward."
