Chapter 300 Attacking the Huns
They encountered several small groups of Hun cavalry on the way, and were shot to pieces before they could run far away.
The smell of blood attracted wolves.
The corpses of the Hun cavalry were enough for them to have a good meal.
The remaining bones were buried by the yellow sand, everything returned to peace, and no one knew that life had died here.
Xiao Ning led the army and continued northward.
The vast yellow sea of sand stretches endlessly, and it is difficult to tell the direction. People in such an environment feel inexplicably frightened.
But seeing Xiao Ning walking in front, faith overcame fear.
In the hearts of the soldiers, Xiao Ning had long been a figure comparable to gods. Looking at her back, they felt at ease.
They firmly believed that their general would lead them out of this sea of desert.
It turns out that their general is really a god.
She could always find the oasis accurately, so that they would not be lost in the endless desert.
…
After being surrounded by yellow sand for days, the soldiers were still a little stunned when they walked out of the desert.
Vast grasslands, rolling mountains, dense forests...
"Okay, I thought they lived in the desert, but I didn't expect they lived in a place like this!"
"Such a large piece of land, how much food would we need to grow? And you're trying to steal it from us!"
Xiao Ning said: "There is little rainfall here, so it is not suitable for developing agriculture."
"I see..."
“I can’t even grow crops…”
Otherwise, it would be wonderful to harvest the crops and grow crops!
The soldiers looked at the vast land with regret in their eyes.
"What's the point of having such a large piece of land if you can't grow food?"
"You can herd cattle and sheep, run horses, and it's quite beautiful."
"That's true!"
"The Huns are always stealing our women. I don't know what their women look like, right?"
Someone said this.
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ning gave him a cold look.
The man was so frightened that he stopped talking immediately.
Xiao Ning said, "No matter how hateful the Xiongnu are, you are not allowed to have any ideas about women. Violators will be punished by military law!"
The soldiers responded in unison.
The soldier just now did not want to do anything. After all, he was a person who had been influenced by Xiao Ning's new ideas and was controlled by strict military regulations. His thoughts and behaviors had long formed instinctive habits. How could a person easily go against his instinctive habits?
He was just curious about what Xiongnu women looked like, so he asked that question, but he didn't expect to be scolded by the general...
The soldier felt aggrieved and thought the general did not trust his character.
So during the break, he came up to Xiao Ning and explained.
Xiao Ning looked at the aggrieved soldier, was silent for a moment, and then frankly admitted his mistake.
"I was too petty to judge others. I apologize to you. Please forgive me."
As he spoke, he bent down slightly and saluted the other party with his fists clasped.
The soldier was flattered and quickly knelt on one knee, clasping his fists towards Xiao Ning and saying, "General, thank you for your kindness!"
Xiao Ning: “…”
She hurriedly helped the man up.
"I was clearly the one apologizing to you, why did you kneel down in front of me..."
The soldier said, "I don't want you to apologize, I just want to tell you that I am not that kind of dirty person."
"What's dirty or not? General, what are you doing behind my back?"
Xu Chong walked over with a piece of bread in his mouth.
Xiao Ning: “…”
She didn't want to bother with this hot guy.
He turned around, patted the soldier's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Go and eat something quickly, we still have to continue marching later."
The soldier responded and left.
Xu Chong looked at Xiao Ning as if he was looking at someone who had broken his heart. "General, our relationship has faded, right?"
Xiao Ning: "Eat your cake!"
After a short rest, the army continued its march.
The Huns soon discovered the traces of Xiao's army. When the news reached the various tribes, they could hardly believe their ears.
Can that bunch of useless Yong people cross the desert and come to Mobei to kill?
Despite their doubts, the Huns quickly gathered their troops and headed in the direction indicated by the herdsmen.
As for the team that Xiao Ning had annihilated outside of Cangzhou City...
Since no one survived and no news came back, they just assumed that he was delayed on the road or intoxicated by the gentle women of Dayong.
They never imagined that their warriors would be wiped out at the hands of the Yong people, whom they despised the most.
There wasn't even a chance to pass on the message.
They rode their horses, galloping across the grassland, shouting, having no idea what was about to greet them.
…
Xiao Ning actually let those Huns go on purpose.
The purpose is to wait and see.
After all, she didn't know the exact location of the Xiongnu royal court. Instead of wasting time looking for it herself, it would be better to let them come to her.
It’s a good time to take a good rest.
This is the battlefield chosen by Xiao Ning. She had already divided the army into four groups, waiting for the Huns to come, surround and attack them, and give them a fatal blow.
Xiao Ning didn't have to wait long before he saw thousands of horses galloping towards him.
She narrowed her eyes and raised her hand.
As the gesture fell, the soldiers lined up in a row and fired thousands of arrows at once.
The soldiers held the lightweight and powerful crossbow designed by Xiao Ning. The crossbow arrows were fired continuously, as dense as rain. They were faster than ordinary feather arrows and had greater lethality than ordinary feather arrows.
By the time the Hun cavalry realized it, it was too late to retreat and they could only block with their scimitars.
For a while, the sound of clanging and clattering was endless.
The Xiongnu cavalry originally came out to have fun, so there weren't many of them.
They never thought that the cowardly Dayong people would actually dare to gather a large army, cross the desert, and attack Mobei.
After all, in all these years, Dayong only had one General Zhenbei, who died in the internal strife among the Yong people.
As for the posthumous son of the General Zhenbei, I heard that he was quite fond of homosexuality and behaved wildly. He was just a bit brave and was not to be feared.
As for the other Yong people...
They are either useless or civil servants. There are few outstanding military generals, and there is no cavalry as brave as their Great Xiongnu.
Can……
The Xiongnu cavalry looked at the Yong soldiers on the opposite side who were lined up in an orderly manner and shooting arrows at them.
These were not the Yong soldiers they had in mind at all.
This is an even more terrifying existence than the team led by General Zhenbei back then!
"withdraw!"
"Retreat quickly!"
The Hun general shouted.
The Hun cavalry took the order and retreated while fighting against the dense rain of arrows.
However, the Yong soldiers on the opposite side did not stop shooting arrows and chasing them. Instead, they collected their arrows, leaned on their horses, and looked at them with a smile.
Like a cat watching a fleeing mouse.
“That’s not right!”
As soon as they finished speaking, shouts of killing were heard behind them.
The sudden attack broke up the Xiongnu cavalry's formation, and the two sides fought in one place.
Xiao Ning had already rehearsed the current battle situation. How could the Huns, who responded hastily, be their opponents?
Those who were killed were defeated one after another.
But behind them is a team firing crossbows wildly...
"Break out to the left!"
The Hun general gave the order.
So the Hun cavalry rushed to the left again.
The result is predictable.
They ran into the Xiao family army who were waiting for an opportunity, and were beaten back again.
He ran to the right again, but ran into another team.
In the end, this Xiongnu cavalry was surrounded and attacked by four armies and was completely annihilated.
Of course, Xiao Ning also asked about the location of the Xiongnu royal court.
