At Wuyan's command, Arudun immediately ordered the camp gates of the training ground to be closed.
A loud bang! It seemed particularly abrupt in the empty training ground.
The surrendered generals, who were scrambling for gold and silver, immediately sensed something was wrong and stopped what they were doing.
From the surrounding darkness, countless Xiongnu soldiers clad in armor and wielding scimitars swarmed forward.
Without uttering a word, he raised his sword and slashed at them.
The surrendered generals were completely bewildered by this sudden turn of events!
Before they could even react to what was happening, the Huns' scimitars had already severed their necks.
Warm, fresh blood gushed out like a fountain.
Some people held onto the gold and silver they had just stolen until their very death, unwilling to let go.
"Damn it! We've been ambushed! These Huns are going to kill us!"
At this moment, the surrendered generals also realized what was happening.
The so-called reward is nothing but a trap.
These Xiongnu people's real goal was to kill them.
Although they realized what was happening, they were completely powerless to fight back.
He had no weapons, and even his armor for self-defense had just been removed.
At this moment, all they had at their disposal were chests of blood-stained gold and silver.
The once-powerful generals and officers are now lambs to the slaughter under the scimitars of the Xiongnu.
For a moment, curses and pleas for mercy were all mixed together.
However, no matter how much these Han Chinese generals pleaded, they were met only with the merciless blades of the Xiongnu.
Wu Yan coldly observed everything before him and calmly spoke.
"My money isn't so easy to take."
Meanwhile, Arrudon, who was guarding the goal, also drew his sword and joined the killing.
Not long ago, these surrendered generals were still thinking about how to sell out these Xiongnu people.
But who could have imagined that in the end, it was these seemingly reckless Huns who struck first.
The slaughter lasted very short. With overwhelming numbers and strength, they were all chopped into pieces in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Arudun walked through the corpses scattered everywhere and spoke to the Hun beside him.
"Check everything carefully! Don't miss a single one!"
With a look of disgust, Wu Yan stepped forward and met Aru Dun.
"These Han Chinese generals who surrendered are utterly useless."
Arrudon didn't hesitate to mock.
Wuyan's expression was not as relaxed as Arrudun's.
The news of these surrendered generals being killed could not be kept secret.
Once this is fully exposed, the three thousand surrendered soldiers in the city will inevitably riot.
However, Wu Yan is not worried at the moment, as long as he can get through these two days regarding the killing of the general.
Once the Left Wise King's reinforcements arrived, these surrendered Han soldiers were like grasshoppers under his feet, unable to cause any trouble.
The air inside the training ground was thick with the stench of blood.
The Huns, wielding curved swords, kept checking to make sure there were no survivors.
Little did they know that just as Wuyan and Arudun were implementing this preemptive strike strategy...
A gaze from the darkness witnessed everything that was happening here.
As night fell, a figure raced through Gongzhou City at breakneck speed before crashing headfirst into Liu Zhong's residence.
This man was one of Liu Zhong's trusted confidants who had been sent out to secretly follow these surrendered generals.
At this moment, the trusted confidant inside the mansion was pale-faced and shouted sharply.
"Where is my master? I have something very important to tell him!"
Upon seeing this, the servants in the mansion immediately led him to Liu Zhong's room in the back hall.
Upon meeting, the confidant immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Just as Master predicted! The rewards from those Xiongnu were a ruse; their real purpose was to lure all the generals in the city into the training ground and kill them all!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhong collapsed onto the bed, his once rosy cheeks instantly turning pale.
Although he had some expectations, speculation and reality are ultimately two different things.
When the bloody truth was laid bare before him, even though Liu Zhong was prepared, he still felt a chill run down his spine.
If I hadn't been so careful, I would be the one dead right now!
In an instant! Fear turned into anger!
Liu Zhong kicked the table in the room over and roared.
"These Hun dogs have gone too far in bullying me!"
The confidant kneeling on the ground immediately asked.
"What should we do now, Master? If the Xiongnu examine the corpse and head later, they will surely find that you were not present! They will definitely raise an army to kill you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhong spat to the side and forward.
"Damn it! Since these Huns dare to do this, then don't blame me for doing it the next big time!"
"Give me the word! All troops, don your armor immediately! And then send someone to contact the vanguard army outside the city!"
"Tonight I will seize the city gates! I will welcome the royal army into the city!"
"clear!"
In an instant, Liu Zhong's entire mansion erupted in excitement.
After a brief moment of shock, Liu Zhong immediately demonstrated his abilities.
Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, two hundred armored soldiers appeared neatly before Liu Zhong.
Regiments and soldiers are two different concepts.
The retainers were essentially the master's private army.
They have better equipment and food, so their overall combat effectiveness is stronger.
In an era when 95% of the population was starving, the fighting capacity of ordinary soldiers was very weak.
Therefore, we often read in history about a single person chasing and killing hundreds or thousands of people.
And often, the real deciding factor in the outcome of a battle is this small group of top-tier fighters.
