Volume 1, Chapter 37 Killing the Huns is like killing chickens
On the Honghua city wall, Pan Hu, who had already run to the south gate, saw Bai Qi letting the Xiongnu cavalry enter the city. He jumped up and cursed:
"This is even more of a traitor than me!"
"I don't even dare to do that!"
"I have to have some shame, too."
"How much money did you receive from the Xiongnu?"
Pan Hu's confidants nodded repeatedly. Letting the enemy into the city would be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
At this moment, Bai Qi leisurely climbed up the city wall with 5,000 soldiers, and ignored the large-scale Hun cavalry entering the city.
The people in the city had already hidden themselves, and he was too lazy to give them any more orders. After all, they were all border residents and everyone was used to it.
At this moment, the Xiongnu cavalry did not want to conflict with the defenders of Honghua City. They needed to enter the city as soon as possible and then assemble a large army inside the city.
After all, Honghua City has at least 70,000 to 80,000 defenders.
But as long as their hundreds of thousands of troops enter the city, killing these people will be easy.
Why hundreds of thousands?
Because they had lost nearly 30,000 cavalrymen while chasing them all the way from the grassland.
"Bai Qi, are you really going to watch them enter the city?"
Yang Paifeng was so anxious that he wanted to lead the team himself to stop the Hun cavalry.
"Wait a little longer. When they get 30,000 cavalrymen in, we'll catch them in the trap!"
Bai Qi tapped the top of the city wall with his fingers, counting the number of Xiongnu cavalry.
"Are you kidding me? Do you still want to catch a turtle in a jar? I think you are just throwing meat buns at a dog!"
At this moment, Wanrenjiang had wrapped the wound with clothes to prevent further bleeding.
He leaned weakly against the city wall, just wanting to see how Bai Qi would shoot himself in the foot.
A quarter of an hour later, the Xiongnu general and his guards entered Honghua City.
The general of ten thousand snorted, "Now there are 30,000 Huns coming in. Please start your show. I want to see how you can trap them in the city."
Bai Qi smiled and ordered, "Soldiers, listen up. Pour all the kerosene at the city gate and on the drawbridge."
"Yes!"
Now that the prefect Pan Hu has fled, the general of Ten Thousand Army will be deposed by Bai Qi, and Yang Paifeng will not issue any orders, the ferocious and powerful Bai Qi has obviously become the real commander of Honghua City.
All the soldiers dared not disobey the order.
This is a very cruel person who will even kill his own people when he gets ruthless.
The soldiers guarding the city immediately poured barrels of kerosene down from the top of the city gate tower.
"This is...."
Yang Paifeng suddenly widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Bai Qi with disbelief. She seemed to understand.
And the heart of that general was beating wildly.
As they looked on in horror, Bai Qi picked up the torch and threw it down.
"boom--"
The kerosene burned, black smoke billowed, and the city gate instantly became a sea of fire.
Several Hun cavalrymen were directly ignited by kerosene and let out heart-wrenching screams. After a while, they were roasted into suckling pigs.
The cavalry behind immediately pulled the reins of their horses and dared not continue to enter the city.
"No, no!"
The first Khan of the Xiongnu felt as if his head was exploding.
The city gate is now like the Asura Hell, with kerosene burning and the city walls changing color. If people go there, they will be cremated on the spot.
The poor suspension bridge was quickly burned off by the fire and fell into the moat.
The Hun army was directly divided into two parts.
One hundred and twenty thousand outside the city, thirty thousand inside the city!
Bai Qi teased the First Khan of the Xiongnu: "Just wait outside to collect their bodies!"
The first Hun Khan's face changed drastically, his body swayed, and he almost fell off his horse again. He had only one thought in his mind:
It’s over, it’s over, we’re going to lose another 30,000 cavalrymen!
The first Hun Khan immediately ordered: "All troops, listen up and go to other city gates..."
But before he could finish his words, Bai Qi grinned and said, "Pass my order, burn the remaining three drawbridges!"
"I will make it impossible for the 30,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen who entered the city to escape!"
The words that the First Khan of the Xiongnu had not yet finished speaking were stuck in his throat.
Finally, he collapsed as if exhausted, weakly in the arms of his personal guards.
Yang Paifeng exclaimed at this time: "So, you want to use fire attack to seal off Honghua City. They have 30,000 cavalry and we have 70,000 infantry, and we also have the geographical advantage. It will be no problem to annihilate them all."
Yang Paifeng admired Bai Qi more and more.
It was such a simple method that the Hun cavalry was divided into two.
In Honghua City, how could the cavalry defeat the infantry?
We can kill them anyway.
Bai Qi turned his head and looked at the generals, and said calmly: "I said that it would be easy for me to destroy the Xiongnu cavalry. Are you convinced now?"
Ten thousand people felt as if their faces were being slapped.
He had already been full of admiration in his heart.
I secretly hated myself for not thinking of it before.
He also mocked that others would allow the Huns to massacre the city, but in the end, they fought back and killed 30,000 Hun cavalry.
But he would never admit that Bai Qi was much more powerful than him. The general snorted, "The first Khan of the Xiongnu, is it really impossible for him to come in?"
"They have a full 120,000 cavalry!"
The soldiers around were also curious and wanted to know why the First Khan of the Xiongnu reacted so strongly.
Bai Qi looked at the generals like an idiot and said, "If an ordinary soldier asked this question, I would think it is reasonable."
"After all, people like Erniu and Dazhuang don't know the art of war."
"But you are a general of ten thousand people, don't you really understand?"
"You said the Huns were cavalry. How could they attack the city? Without a drawbridge, could they fly in?"
"The Huns have no siege equipment or ladders. Even if they have a million troops, they can only watch helplessly!"
"This is the importance of the city. Otherwise, why would we spend so much manpower and resources to build the city wall? Idiot!"
The idiot cursed.
"So that's why the Huns can't get through!"
"Master Bai Qi, you are so amazing."
"No wonder they say that one needs to read more if he wants to lead troops in battle."
The soldiers looked at Bai Qi with more respect, and looked at the general with more contempt.
Wanrenjiang was in a state of dismay at this moment, and his body collapsed directly to the ground. He was finished, and he would definitely die after this battle.
Besides, no one could blame Bai Qi.
Because they would annihilate all 30,000 elite Hun soldiers, which would be such a great achievement, and no matter how outrageous Bai Qi did, Yang Wudi could protect him.
Bai Qi was too lazy to look at the generals now, and instead ordered the soldiers: "Pass my order: All soldiers, do your best to surround and kill the Xiongnu cavalry."
"Order the soldiers not to lead the team to charge the Xiongnu cavalry head-on, hide in houses, street corners, alleys, and attack with sneak attacks!"
"Also, spread the word throughout the city that civilians with good archery skills can also participate in the siege and killing of the Xiongnu cavalry."
"Anyone who kills a Xiongnu cavalryman, whether he is a soldier or a civilian, will be rewarded with a war horse!"
With the help of his inner strength, Bai Qi's voice was as loud as a huge bell. Soon, the exciting news spread to every corner of Honghua City.
In an instant, the people of Honghua City went crazy.
In the border town, basically all men know how to shoot arrows. If you shoot and kill a Hun cavalryman, you can get a war horse. This reward is simply too generous.
A fine warhorse from the Huns could buy ten acres of land!
"Kill the Huns and get war horses!"
The people shouted with excitement. In their eyes, the once extremely ferocious Huns were now just moving fields.
"Ten acres, ten acres!"
Every citizen is thinking about it in their heart.
The Hun cavalry then experienced the most horrific nightmare in their lives.
Because they would be shot at from all directions, and they had no way to defend themselves.
When many Huns died, they didn't know exactly which direction the arrows shot from.
Yang Paifeng stared at the scene blankly. He never thought that the Huns were so vulnerable.
Bai Qi laughed, "This is the power of the masses!"
As he said this, he also picked up the bow and arrow and joined the ranks of shooting the Huns. It would be a waste if he didn't kill them!
[Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an ordinary enemy, experience value +10]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an ordinary enemy, experience value +10]
....
Listening to the wonderful system sounds, a smile appeared on Bai Qi's lips.
After this battle, can I be crowned a marquis and become a defeated general?
At this moment, the eyes of the ten thousand generals had long been distracted. He was like a fool, muttering: "Impossible, impossible!"
Yang Paifeng stood behind Bai Qi, carrying the quiver on his back. When Bai Qi had shot a bucket of arrows, Yang Paifeng immediately handed him the quiver full of arrows.
Just like a good wife.
The shy youngster standing by was filled with envy.
But at this moment he did not look jealous. Instead, he felt that beauty and heroes were the right thing to do in the world!
