Volume 1, Chapter 119: Defeat the Huns
The leader of the Tianji Sect is always paying attention to the battlefield, especially Yang Wudi.
This is the best way to give the three Khans advice.
So, he listened to every word Yang Wudi said.
He was actually deceived by Yang Wudi!
He originally thought that Honghua City had no resistance at all, but suddenly countless boulders rolled down from above, and kerosene was also poured down. After the kerosene was ignited, the entire city wall felt like it was burning.
Countless Huns were crushed to death by falling rocks and burned by flames.
Screams rang out one after another.
Suddenly, the Huns suffered heavy losses.
"Damn it, damn it, Yang Wudi actually played a trick on us!"
The leader of the Tianji Sect clearly understood that Yang Wudi was just pretending.
Yang Wudi even deceived his own 10,000 generals in order to make them believe that Honghua City was short of food and grass.
But who could have thought that Yang Wudi actually prepared this elite force.
The Huns suffered a great loss this time!
They also thought that it would be the same as the last siege, where the enemy would have no ability to fight back, so they basically did not put up any defense.
But after all the people were crowded under the city wall, the rolling stones and kerosene that fell from above caused them huge casualties.
What was even more terrifying was that, suddenly attacked like this, the Huns immediately lost their composure and many people in the front row ran backwards, causing serious congestion and trampling.
In just this sudden attack, the Huns lost thousands of people.
The faces of the three Hun Khans changed drastically. This was completely different from what they expected. They turned around and looked at the head of the Tianji Sect and asked coldly, "What is going on?"
"Didn't you say they had no food?"
"Didn't you say that their soldiers were too hungry to fight?"
They pointed angrily at the fierce and vigorous soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the top of Honghua City and asked, "What are these people?"
The leader of the Tianji Sect was speechless after being asked this question.
How could he not understand that they had fallen into a trap!
I was fooled by Yang Wudi.
Even Yang Wudi was aware of the methods used by these practitioners, so he deliberately acted worried. Damn it!
He wished he could kill Yang Wudi with his own hands.
But things have come to this, and he cannot retreat. If he does not instigate the three Khans to continue attacking Honghua City this time, there will be no such good opportunity in the future.
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty became even more unscrupulous in their pursuit of them, and they had no place to stand in this vast land of China.
This is your only chance!
So the head of the Tianji Sect gritted his teeth and said with confidence: "Yang Wudi has at most 10,000 or 20,000 troops hidden. As long as we step up our offensive, we will definitely be able to capture Honghua City!"
hehe!
The three Khans of the Xiongnu now have lost their trust in the leader of the Tianji Sect.
When I heard that he wanted to continue the attack, the first thing I did was to reject his suggestion.
The Fifth Khan even directly suggested: "Two Khans, why don't we withdraw our troops!"
How can this be possible?
The head of the Tianji Sect was shocked and quickly advised: "If you don't continue to attack the city when you have such a good opportunity, if you retreat this time, you will never have another chance to attack Honghua City next time."
"Can you still unite Beiliang and Xichu?"
"The most important thing is that after the failure of the attack on Honghua City this time, when the Great Zhou recovers next year, it will definitely sweep the grassland."
"If we don't fight now, it would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"
"Next year, maybe they can destroy one of you."
"Next year, the people who will attack you won't just be Yang Wudi. It's possible that Yue Shenqiang and Duke Qin will also come."
The leader of the Tianji Sect certainly knew that retreating now was the best option because they had fallen into a trap.
The reason why Yang Wudi acted for so long was definitely not just to make the Huns withdraw, he must be planning some big move.
However, what does this have to do with him as the leader of the Tianji Sect? Even if the Huns are destroyed this time, he will not lose anything!
But if he took a gamble and the Huns destroyed the Great Zhou, it would be a turning point for him as the leader of the Tianji Sect.
Therefore, it is necessary to trick these three Khans into continuing to attack Honghua City.
Even if the Huns are completely wiped out, it doesn't matter!
For this reason, when the head of the Tianji Sect spoke, a divine light flashed in his eyes.
An invisible spiritual force penetrated into the minds of the three Hun Khans.
Directly use divine thoughts to influence their judgment.
The three Khans were already hesitant, because as the leader of the Tianji Sect said, once this opportunity was lost, they might never come back again.
And after Da Zhou has recovered, Yang Wudi will definitely avenge this arrow.
Then their lives on the grassland will be difficult next year.
Just as several people were thinking, their minds were disturbed by divine thoughts again, as if a voice was shouting in their minds:
"Fuck him, what are you afraid of?"
"If we win, we will be the masters of this land of China!"
“Kill, kill, kill!”
"We will definitely win!"
The sense of crisis in their minds was immediately eliminated, replaced by passion and madness.
The three khans looked at each other, and their eyes burst into unprecedented fighting spirit. The fifth khan shouted loudly: "Fight if you want, what are you afraid of?"
"We have 380,000 men. Even if Yang Wudi has hidden 10,000 or 20,000 elite troops, they will be exhausted to death after a day of siege!"
The other two khans also agreed and immediately ordered the herald: "Continue to attack the city. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
The leader of the Tianji Sect nodded and thought, that’s what he wanted to do!
He looked at the battlefield ahead with great expectation.
Following the orders from the three khans, the law enforcement team went forward and chopped off the heads of dozens of fleeing Huns, driving the people in front to continue attacking the city.
The war became even more brutal.
The Huns stood at the foot of the city and shot arrows at the top. Many people continued to bang on the city gates, while the people on the top of the city confronted those below and began to throw stones and pour kerosene frantically.
The death toll on both sides is increasing rapidly.
However, Yang Wudi's side obviously had a great advantage. After all, they shot arrows from top to bottom, and they were wearing armor and were protected by the city walls.
The casualties on both sides were as high as 1:20.
The war continued madly, from morning to noon, for more than three hours.
The ground outside Honghua City was littered with corpses, and the soldiers were already exhausted.
At this moment, Bai Qi finally moved.
"All troops, listen up and prepare for battle!"
He waved his hand and ordered, "Release the prisoners! Drive them to the front battlefield."
What's the point of releasing the prisoners? If it were me, I would have killed them long ago! .....Chuluo Khan complained in his heart.
The more than 1,000 captured Xiongnu women were immediately released. There was no need for Choro Khan and his men to drive them away. These women ran madly towards the battlefield of Honghua City.
Because there are their tribes, their Khans, their men, and hope of survival.
These Xiongnu women ran and shouted: "Khan, help us, there are enemies behind us!"
There was a war going on in Honghua City, when suddenly a large group of women came running from the rear. The army's morale was already in chaos, and now it was shaken even more.
In particular, when the Hun cavalry heard these women still shouting that there were pursuers behind them, the army became chaotic.
Some cavalrymen in the rear immediately went forward to support them. After all, these women were from their tribe, and they even knew some of them.
Moreover, these women were definitely the most beautiful among the Huns. After all, the Huns would not snatch away ugly Hun women.
After the Hun cavalry picked up these women, they learned from them what had happened in the past few days.
"What did you say? All our food supplies were robbed!"
"We're out of food?"
"Then what's the point of fighting?"
The Hun cavalry were completely stunned. They knew the horror of being without food. Both the Huns and the people of the Great Zhou understood such pain best.
The Huns were more cruel than the people in the Central Plains.
In years when food was scarce, the Huns simply let the elderly starve to death in order to leave more food and allow the young and strong to survive, thus making the entire tribe stronger.
They value food and women the most.
When the Hun cavalry heard that there was no food, they panicked. The news spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred, and soon spread throughout the Hun army.
They had run out of food, and now all the food in the rear had been robbed. All the Hun cavalry were filled with fear and worry.
The army was in unrest.
Many people no longer followed the order to attack the city, but instead thought about how to retreat back to the grassland.
The Xiongnu Khan was so anxious that cold sweats ran down his face. He shouted loudly:
"Don't trust them, we still have food!"
"As long as we conquer Honghua City, we will have endless food!"
The Xiongnu Khan roared again and again, trying to suppress those who spread the news in the army, but it was too late now.
Even if they killed one or two people, they could not stop the spread of the news.
"No more fighting, no more fighting,"
"We're going home!"
"We don't want to die here, and we don't want to starve to death!"
The Huns could not endure such torture, and such emotions exploded directly in the Hun camp, and the formation began to disintegrate.
The number of people disobeying orders is increasing rapidly.
Some people even began to fight against the Hun cavalry who were enforcing the law. When they saw them coming, they directly picked up their scimitars and pointed them at them.
The riots began to escalate...
The face of the head of the Tianji Sect changed drastically. At the beginning, he could still use his mental power to influence some people, but as the number of people who participated in the riot increased, he felt a sharp pain in his head.
Even if all the mental power is released, it is impossible to affect an army of 380,000!
It's over, everything is over!
What a terrible plan!
The head of the Tianji Sect had bloodshot eyes and could only watch the situation continue to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
In the distance, Choro Khan was stunned.
"Fuck! So this is how you use prisoners. Is this the art of war?"
He really broadened his horizons.
Sure enough, these Hun women played a very important role.
Right now.
Bai Qi raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji and shouted angrily, "All troops, listen to my order! Charge!"
A dull horn sounded.
Yang Paifeng, Dazhuang, and Choluo Khan all drew their weapons and shouted at their men: "Charge, charge!"
Boom boom boom!
25,000 cavalrymen came out in full force and attacked directly from the rear.
The ground rumbled as the horses trampled on it.
The shouts and cries of killing reached the sky.
They were like a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely into the waist of the Xiongnu Khan's coalition forces from behind.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The cavalrymen of the three Hun Khans screamed wildly. How could a cavalry appear in the rear?
Moreover, this cavalry is full of fighting spirit and it is obvious that they are not easy to deal with.
At this moment, Yang Wudi on the wall of Honghua City also beat the war drum, waved his hand, and roared: "Open the city gate, and attack with all your troops!"
With his order, the gate of Honghua City was opened directly.
As soon as the door opened, rows of crossbowmen appeared behind it.
Crossbow arrows were shooting wildly like rain, and the Huns who were still banging on the city gates fell down one after another like wheat being cut.
Although these soldiers of the Great Zhou were starving, the crossbow could be used as long as a few people worked together to string it.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty equipped all the soldiers who were unable to go out of the city to fight with crossbows and arrows, and they loaded the bowstrings in advance, just for this purpose.
After everyone has shot an arrow, they immediately make way to allow the people behind to continue shooting.
Soon a large area of Huns in front were cleared out.
At this time, the archers retreated to the rear and an elite cavalry appeared.
Although their number was small, only 10,000, they were all wearing armor and holding the most elite weapons in their hands, and they rushed towards the Huns to kill them.
The Huns did not expect that the other side would dare to come out of the city to fight.
In addition, Bai Qi and others also came from the rear to attack, and the Huns' formation was immediately in chaos under the pincer attack.
When the three Khans saw this situation, they immediately felt uneasy, but they also knew that the most important thing now was to stabilize the morale of the army and advance steadily.
Even if the other side has 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry, they have 380,000.
If they were to fight in a melee, they would definitely have the advantage.
The third Khan shouted, "Don't panic, don't get confused, split the army into two groups and go to meet the enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qi rushed over, his target was the Third Khan.
“Protect me!”
The Third Khan instinctively shouted to the people around him, and his guards immediately surrounded him.
But Bai Qi's speed was too fast. With a casual swing of his Fang Tian Hua Ji, all the people and horses in front of him were cut in half.
Since the upgrade of Fang Tian Hua Ji, Bai Qilai has become even more powerful.
The guards around the Third Khan drew their weapons and wanted to hack Bai Qi to death with their swords, but Bai Qi swept across and chopped all the scimitars in their hands into pieces, cutting their throats as well.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing an ordinary enemy, experience value +10]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a general, experience value +1000]
.....
Bai Qi wielded the Fang Tian Hua Ji and was invincible along the way.
The surrounding soldiers were so frightened that they retreated one after another, and no one dared to confront Bai Qi head-on.
The Huns were not as fearless as the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When they saw someone like Bai Qi, they would stay as far away from him as possible.
The Third Khan was the only one left in the empty space ahead.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He turned around and looked at the head of the Tianji Sect and said, "Hurry up and save me, hurry up and save me!"
The leader of the Tianji Sect sighed. If he attacked Bai Qi now, he might be killed by the immortals or gods.
The most important thing was that he also felt that there was a momentum floating above the battlefield that was no weaker than his.
That must be an offering from the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Damn it, these haunting eunuchs!"
The leader of the Tianji Sect cursed inwardly, then turned and ran. Only a fool would protect the Xiongnu Khan. His own affairs were more important!
When the Third Khan saw this situation, he was disheartened as his greatest supporter was gone.
Just as he was about to draw out his scimitar to resist, Bai Qi stabbed him with his Fang Fang Tian Hua Ji, piercing his chest and lifting him high up.
The third Khan's terrified expression froze in an instant. Half a day ago, he was still full of energy and wanted to break into the city and destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But in just half a day, he was picked up and thrown onto a horse.
He waved his limbs wildly like a drowning wild dog, but soon he was out of breath.
The third Khan of the Xiongnu, died!
[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing the third Hun Khan, experience value +30000]
Bai Qi laughed out loud.
It’s so cool.
He carried the body of the Third Khan and shouted, "The Xiongnu Khan is dead, why don't you surrender?"
When the soldiers under the Third Khan saw this situation, they were so frightened that they had no intention of continuing to fight.
Moreover, they were already exhausted. They had been fighting for a whole morning and were dizzy and hungry. Their Khan was already dead. What was there to fight for?
In an instant, all the people under the Third Khan chose to flee collectively.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Seeing this, the soldiers of the Great Zhou cheered excitedly.
The soldiers who had no strength to fight shouted at the top of their lungs,
For a time, the morale of the Great Zhou was at its peak.
The morale of the Huns dropped to freezing point.
Especially the cavalry under the third Khan, they took the lead in fleeing and broke up the formations of the other two Khans.
In order to escape, they even began to massacre their own people, and would kill anyone who dared to block their way.
Just to get away from the battlefield as quickly as possible.
When the Fourth Khan and the Fifth Khan saw this, they cursed inwardly, fearing that Bai Qi would cause trouble for them, and immediately turned their horses around and fled into the depths of the grassland.
The 380,000-strong army instantly became a lost cause.
"Chase, keep killing!"
"Don't let them get away."
"Kill one enemy and you'll be rewarded with one ounce of silver!"
"Kill ten enemies, and you will be rewarded with one acre of good farmland and promoted to the first-level military rank!"
Bai Qi threw the third Khan's body on the ground, made a promise to the soldiers of the Great Zhou, inspired their determination to kill the enemy, and led his men in a mad pursuit.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
When the Great Zhou cavalry heard this, their eyes turned red.
This reward is so rich.
They may not be able to buy an acre of good farm after serving in the army for a year. General Bai Qi is really generous.
They immediately chased forward desperately. Seeing these Hun cavalry was like seeing silver that was full of energy and could make them run away.
“We win, we win!”
Tens of thousands of generals on the city wall waved their fists excitedly. Although they were too hungry to ride their horses or lift their swords, they cheered heartily when they saw that the Huns were doomed to be defeated.
"kill!"
Bai Qi immediately took over the command of the cavalry coming out of Honghua City, led 35,000 cavalry, and began to frantically chase and kill the 380,000 Hun cavalry from behind.
