Volume 1 Chapter 16 The Hun Cavalry Attacks

the next day.

When the cock crowed three times, the whole army got up.

Bai Qi opened his eyes and felt refreshed.

"Practicing meditation can actually replace sleeping. The inner strength is simply amazing."

Just as he was feeling the changes in his body, suddenly, he heard faint sounds of conversation.

From the military tent next door.

"That idiot Bai Qi actually dared to offend Lord Pan. This time, Lord Pan bribed some ruthless people to kill Bai Qi."

"Everyone be smart!"

"Got it, Centurion!"

Bai Qi frowned. This seemed to be the team of a hundred men that was escorting the grain this time. The voice of the centurion sounded familiar.

He bumped the two bulls and five men with his arms.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Bai Qi?"

Erniu, Da Zhuang and five other people were all sleepy.

"Did you hear any sound?" Bai Qi asked.

"No!"

The five people shook their heads in confusion, then listened carefully again, but still nothing.

Bai Qi was shocked. Could it be that he was the only one who could hear it?

He listened attentively, and indeed heard the centurion continuing to instruct:

"Except for Bai Qi's squad of soldiers, the other 96 members of our team are all from the surrounding areas of the capital. Everyone knows whether they should listen to Lord Pan or stand on Bai Qi's side."

Bai Qi was now certain that he could indeed hear it.

Then he quickly understood the reason.

This is because his cultivation has reached the second level of internal strength, and his hearing has been improved, clearly surpassing that of ordinary people.

"Everyone put on their armor and take up their shields this time."

Bai Qi ordered.

Armor is the strongest defense in ancient wars. Wearing armor can block more than 90% of fatal attacks.

Therefore, in ancient times there was a regulation that privately possessing armor was tantamount to treason.

Because the armor is too powerful.

When they heard that they had to wear armor, Erniu, Dazhuang and others all turned bitter, because the armor was too heavy.

Especially when escorting food and fodder, it is a long journey and they have to push the carts.

Wearing more than 20 kilograms of armor is like a death sentence!

However, they dared not disobey Bai Qi's words, so they put on the soldiers' armor one by one while complaining.

When Bai Qi brought Erniu and others to gather with the team escorting the grain and fodder, everyone in the team had a sarcastic look on their faces.

"How afraid are you of death to wear armor?"

"Put on your armor and escort the food supplies. I'm not afraid of tiring you to death!"

The centurion sneered in his mind: Putting on armor, they can't even run away when they meet the enemy. They are really a bunch of idiots.

Of course, he had no obligation to remind Bai Qi that the more miserable Bai Qi's death was, the richer the reward Pan Hu would give him in the future.

When the personnel were assembled, he immediately mounted his warhorse, waved his spear, and said, "Let's go!"

Twenty large carts loaded with grain, pulled by horses, were heading towards the distant border outpost.

In the distance, Pan Hu, lying on the couch, was enjoying the massage from his maid while sneering, "Bai Qi, I will make sure you never come back! Just wait to be hacked to pieces!"

.......

Two days later.

Bai Qi and his group came to a narrow official road.

Bai Qi suddenly said, "Stop! Be alert."

Erniu, Heiwa, Dazhuang and others immediately picked up their shields and formed a defensive formation.

The centurion sneered, "What are you on guard for? Are you planning to ambush me?"

The other soldiers who were guarding the grain also looked disdainful.

"I heard the breathing of no less than two hundred people in the woods ahead, and it seemed that there were horses with their mouths stuffed, making snorting sounds." Bai Qi said seriously.

The centurion laughed as if he was looking at a fool. He knew very well in his heart that there would be no ambush here because Pan Hu had already told him.

Three days later, the bandits hired by Pan Hu would take action at the designated location.

"You are just being mysterious. You can even hear the breathing of people in the woods ahead. Do you have super hearing?"

The centurion waved his hand and commanded everyone, "The army continues to advance, let this coward see that the soldiers of the Great Zhou are fearless!"

"Yes!"

The other soldiers had already informed the centurion and knew Pan Hu's plan.

Of course I don't believe that there is an ambush here.

They continued to work hard and thriftily, and did not forget to turn around and taunt Bai Qi with contemptuous eyes, "What are you talking about being brave and unparalleled? Bullshit!"

But when they just stepped into the dense forest.

Sudden,

A torrential rain of arrows shot out from the dense forest.

“Puff! Puff! Puff!”

The sound of a sharp arrow piercing into flesh and blood is so devastating.

There were also beautiful blood flowers splattering.

"ah!--"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, there is an ambush!"

"My legs, help me!"

Screams of pain echoed throughout the valley, and the soldiers' faces were filled with fear.

They must be regretting it so much that they should have listened to Bai Qi's advice.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. In one round of shooting, more than 20 soldiers were shot dead on the spot.

The other soldiers ran back frantically, their eyes full of fear.

At this moment, they saw Bai Qi and his group, all of whom were wearing armor. With the shields blocking arrows of this level, it was almost impossible for them to get hurt.

"Brother Bai Qi, you are awesome."

"I feel so safe in my armor."

"Yes, these idiots, without armor, were shot into hedgehogs immediately."

Erniu and Heiwa were alone, holding shields and using carts as cover. They were very leisurely. For the first time in the bloody and cruel battlefield, they felt the warmth of home.

When watching a group of grain-carrying soldiers being shot to death one by one in front of them, Erniu Wuren admired Bai Qi even more in his heart.

After several rounds of arrow rain, the grain-carrying team finally managed to hide in a safe place after losing more than 40 people.

At this moment, a war horse neighed in the woods.

Then, the sound of horses trampling the ground caused the earth to tremble slightly.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!”

Suddenly, 200 cavalrymen rushed out of the dense forest. They were wearing animal skins, holding scimitars in their hands, and making strange noises. They launched a group charge against the grain-carrying team.

"Xiongnu, it's Xiongnu cavalry!"

The soldiers in the grain-guarding team all looked as pale as death.

When cavalry faces infantry, it's absolutely a crushing defeat!

Their legs were fighting and some of them even peed their pants.

"Centurion, I'll fuck your ancestors! Is this what you call safety?"

"Are you kidding? Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"

The soldiers were mentally broken.

They cursed the centurion with the most vicious words.

The centurion was also stunned at this moment, "How is it possible? How could there be Huns?"

"Lord Pan clearly said that they were just bandits and only wanted to kill Bai Qi."

At this moment, his face changed drastically, and he obviously realized that he had underestimated Pan Hu's shamelessness, and he was not prepared to let him go.

“Run, run!”

The centurion shouted, turned his horse around and fled.

“Damn it!”

The soldiers were furious, but they didn't have horses and couldn't escape!

At this moment, Bai Qi, who was standing at the end of the team, blocked the centurion's way and said with cold eyes: "Deserting in the face of battle is a capital crime!"

"Go back and fight! Otherwise, I will kill you all!"
