“Father, those are people from the Great Xia Dynasty,” Princess Hanxiang said, looking at Li Guang and his men, who were all incredibly brave and had so easily wiped out the Left Wise King’s army.
"Didn't the Great Xia Dynasty send a princess here for a marriage alliance? How dare they attack us?" the Great Chanyu roared.
“Father, the enemy is hostile. The Left Wise King’s tribal army is definitely top-notch in our Xiongnu fighting force, yet they are so easily defeated.”
The Great Chanyu looked at Jiang Tian's troops in the distance and said, "They're trying to stay put."
"Grand Preceptor..." the Great Chanyu said to the Grand Preceptor on the city wall, "Are these the calamities you speak of?"
The Grand Preceptor nodded: "Great Chanyu, we cannot be careless, otherwise, we may face annihilation."
The Right Wise King and the Left and Right Guli Kings standing next to the Great Chanyu listened with disdain.
"It's not like we haven't fought the Great Xia Dynasty before; they're just a bunch of sheep." King Youguli looked at Li Guang's troops in the distance. "They're just a bunch of showy but useless bastards."
"Great Chanyu, today I personally led my men into their camp and utterly defeated them."
"Great Chanyu, the Left Wise King's cavalry was not strong to begin with, and after fighting us for a long time, they suffered this defeat."
"The Imperial Advisor is mistaken. We should not boost the morale of others while diminishing our own prestige."
“These troops from the Great Xia Dynasty have come from afar. They lack supplies and food, so they cannot stay long. We only need to harass them at night to defeat them.”
“These Daxia people are just a flock of sheep. Let them be delivered to our mouths. If we don’t eat them, it would be disrespectful to them.”
“These Xia people are audacious and reckless; they actually dared to invade our Xiongnu.”
It has always been us Xiongnu who bully them. Anyone who dares to provoke us is courting death.
“Great Chanyu,” said the Right Guli King, “tonight I will lead 20,000 troops out of the capital and wipe them all out.”
Upon hearing this, the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu nodded: "Right Guli King, tonight you will personally lead the troops out of the city."
These cunning Daxia people, how dare they deceive me!
After we destroy them, I will personally lead the troops straight to the capital of Great Xia.
I want to ask their dog emperor what he's really thinking.
“Yes…” King Youguli quickly replied.
…………
That afternoon.
The 1,000 cavalrymen left behind by Li Guang escorted Princess Xue'er, Qin Hongyu, and the thousands of captured Xia people.
The army marched into the camp in a grand procession.
"Li Guang, they are very likely to raid our camp tonight. These Xiongnu people want to test our capabilities." Jiang Tian had already seen the Xiongnu people making their move.
"My lord, I request permission to lead the troops out of the camp after dark, so that when these Xiongnu invade, we can attack them from both inside and outside, and utterly defeat them." Huo Qubing was already impatient.
Huo Qubing was far from satisfied with the battle in which he killed the Left Wise King.
Within the capital of the Xiongnu, there was an army of 100,000.
If they all come out, it will save us trouble.
"Can."
However, Jiang Tian's interest lay elsewhere; he headed straight for the carriage.
"Hongyu, gather all the women together." Jiang Tian went directly to Qin Hongyu.
"Big Brother, what are you doing with those women?" It was clear that Qin Hongyu had misunderstood.
“Those women should all know how to do needlework,” Jiang Tian said, pointing to the mountains not far away.
“I want them to sew me a parachute. I will lead tens of thousands of cavalrymen, leap down from the high mountains, and float directly into the Xiongnu capital.”
Qin Hongyu was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Brother, are you out of your mind?" Qin Hongyu looked at the high mountain not far away. "This mountain is over a thousand feet high. If you jump off this mountain, won't you be smashed to pieces?"
Jiang Tian put his arm around Qin Hongyu's slender waist and gently kissed her cherry-like lips: "Have you forgotten what I told you? I am a celestial being. Even if I jumped from a mountain thousands of feet high, it wouldn't hurt me in the slightest."
Jiang Tian discovered that the high mountain behind the Xiongnu capital was extremely vertical and steep.
This meant that the Xiongnu capital city did not need to be defended from behind.
However, these Xiongnu people never expected that Jiang Tian would use a parachute to jump from a great height.
"Brother, it's better not to do anything about some things," Qin Hongyu continued to advise.
"Using my method will yield the best results."
Qin Hongyu knew that no matter how much she tried to persuade Jiang Tian, once he had made up his mind about something, she simply couldn't change it.
"Brother, I'll get someone to come to you right now." All Qin Hongyu could do now was silently pray that Jiang Tian would not have any problems.
Soon, Qin Hongyu found more than 1,000 women skilled in needlework.
Jiang Tian stood on a large vehicle and shouted, "Everyone, what I need you to do now is sew 500 parachutes for me tonight."
I'll tell you how to sew it shortly.
Tonight, the campfire will be lit for you. With these parachutes, we'll be able to storm the Xiongnu capital.
Girls, the time for revenge has come.
"We will storm the capital, destroy the Great Chanyu, and avenge our fallen loved ones."
Jiang Tian's words struck a chord with these girls.
Before these girls were captured by the Xiongnu, these cruel Xiongnu killed all their families right in front of them, leaving no one alive.
Some of the Xiongnu even raped these girls in front of their families.
These damned Huns have long since incurred the wrath of the people.
Every single girl wanted to kill them all.
"Sir, as long as you give the order, we will not hesitate to go into battle to kill the enemy, let alone just mend clothes."
"My lord, even if we sisters go without sleep or food for ten days and ten nights, we will definitely complete your requirements."
Seeing the anger blazing in the eyes of these girls, Jiang Tian nodded in satisfaction.
He jumped off the large vehicle: "Girls who can read and understand diagrams, come closer. I've already given you a simple diagram of a parachute."
The girls Qin Hongyu selected were all skilled in needlework, and many of them were from well-to-do families.
These ladies from prominent families were literate.
Understanding Jiang Tian's thumbnail is naturally not a problem.
More than 100 girls came forward.
Jiang Tian took out the drawing he had already completed from his pocket.
The parachutes I drew these past two days aren't round; they're long, narrow sport parachutes.
This type of umbrella is more maneuverable.
Jiang Tian was worried that the cloth was unsafe, so he designed the parachute to be relatively large.
To his surprise, the girls immediately understood what to do when they saw the parachute diagram.
