These Huns were all exhausted.
"These Great Xia people are too cunning. If I have the chance, I will kill them all."
"I never imagined I would feel so humiliated."
“These wretched people of Great Xia kept me awake all night last night because of their noise.”
"This scared us half to death again this early in the morning."
"I'm so sleepy, I need to go to sleep right away."
"Now, I can fall asleep standing up."
Soon, these exhausted Huns were all fast asleep.
...
Down the mountain, Huo Qubing arrived in a horse-drawn carriage with his men.
"Soldiers, prepare firewood. We're going to make the Xiongnu wish they were dead!" Huo Qubing quickly got off the cart.
"General, we have already prepared the firewood. We are just waiting for your order."
Huo Qubing pointed lightly at the entrance to the narrow path beneath his Silver Dragon Reverse Scale Spear: "Pile the firewood at the entrance of that narrow path."
Everyone quickly did as Huo Qubing asked.
They piled up thousands of kilograms of firewood there.
Huo Qubing carried a bag in each hand.
A bag of ghost pepper powder, a bag of Sichuan peppercorns.
Soon, a raging fire broke out.
"Pour water onto the fire."
Ladles of water were poured onto the fire, and soon black smoke rose up.
Huo Qubing poured both bags of chili powder and Sichuan peppercorn powder onto the fire.
Achoo... Achoo...
Everyone immediately started sneezing.
The sneezes just kept coming, one after another, and I couldn't stop.
Everyone quickly retreated.
Their eyes were watering and red from the smoke.
Huo Qubing was closest to the flames, and his eyes were almost completely blinded by the smoke.
"Quick, get me some water." This ghost pepper powder is no ordinary dried chili powder.
This ghost pepper powder is fifty times spicier than regular dried chili powder.
You can imagine how spicy it is.
A cavalryman brought over a basin of water, and Huo Qubing plunged into it.
He rinsed his eyes with clean water more than a dozen times before they slowly started to recover.
...
The Xiongnu's sacred site for worshipping Heaven was where the Xiongnu people had just fallen asleep when they were quickly awakened.
Achoo... Achoo...
"What's going on? What is this thing? Why does it smell so pungent?"
"Where did this smoke come from? This stuff is awful!"
"My eyes, my eyes hurt so much."
"I...Achoo, I...Achoo...I can't see anything."
These Huns were crying and their eyes were so snotty that they couldn't see anything.
The thick smoke produced by the ghost pepper powder and Sichuan peppercorns was something they couldn't stand.
These Xiongnu people had never seen chili peppers before, and being exposed to such a fumes made their lives worse than death.
Many people find that rubbing their eyes repeatedly is ineffective.
No matter how much they blew their noses, the snot just wouldn't stop.
The Xiongnu Chanyu's eyes were bloodshot from the smoke: "These damned Xia people, this smoke is poisonous, I can't see anything."
I'm going blind.
Princess Hanxiang was also crying with snot and tears streaming down her face: "I knew these damned Xia people would never let this go, and I've been poisoned too."
"All the warriors of the Great Khan say that they can't see anything."
"Grand Preceptor, where are you? Grand Preceptor, please come quickly to help everyone! Everyone has gone blind, what should we do?" King Zuo Guli's tears fell uncontrollably.
At this point, even the Xiongnu Grand Master was helpless. Even though he was seventy or eighty years old, he had never seen devil pepper powder or Sichuan pepper powder.
"What can I do to make everyone close their eyes and cover their mouths and noses with wet cloths?"
"This might alleviate the pain."
Many people did just that.
However, the pain did not lessen at all.
However, the Xiongnu people soon understood.
Even if the smoke is intense, their eyes won't go blind.
Even if the toxic fumes are strong, they won't die.
However, the amount of rage points contributed by everyone was extraordinary, with most people contributing more than double the amount.
The thick smoke billowed for more than half an hour before slowly dissipating.
The Xiongnu people at the sacred site of the Heaven-worshiping ceremony suffered greatly.
Their eyes were in excruciating pain, and their throats were even more painful.
The pain lasted for more than an hour before it gradually subsided.
Many of the Xiongnu people cursed loudly.
“Great Chanyu,” many Xiongnu cavalrymen ran up to the wolf totem, “we are descendants of steppe wolves, when have we ever suffered such humiliation.”
"Great Chanyu, let's charge down the mountain. Even if we die, let's die a quick and painless death."
"Yes, even if we die, we can't complain about this cowardice here."
Many of the Xiongnu people gripped their scimitars tightly, their teeth clenched with rage, all wanting to rush down the mountain.
"Touch your necks, are your heads still there?"
“The other side’s smoke can’t kill. Cough cough cough… cough cough cough… Achoo… Achoo…” Before the Xiongnu Chanyu could finish speaking, he was again coughing and sneezing, with snot and tears streaming down his face.
This immediately woke everyone up.
They kept cursing.
Princess Hanxiang was covered in black soot, and her eyes were as red as carrots.
[Ding! The Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu has gained 9999 rage points.]
[Ding! Princess Hanxiang of the Xiongnu has gained 6666 rage points.]
