Volume 1 Chapter 38 Yang Wudi's Shock
An hour later.
The killing in Honghua City stopped.
"Report——"
The messenger rushed forward, looked at Yang Paifeng, and finally saluted Bai Qi excitedly and said, "Your Excellency, our army has wiped out 30,000 Xiongnu and killed a Xiongnu general!"
Yang Paifeng asked anxiously: "Then how many people did we lose?"
"Your Excellency, we only lost more than 1,300 people in the battle."
The messenger said excitedly.
What! ?
The 10,000 people who were paralyzed on the side almost popped their eyes out and cursed angrily, "Impossible! How come only so few people died?"
You know, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred of your own.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Hun cavalry was obviously stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.
With only a loss of one thousand men, they wiped out ten thousand enemies. Such losses were unheard of before.
The messenger snorted disdainfully: "If the Xiongnu hadn't been so anxious and set fires everywhere, burning so many people to death in their homes, our losses would have been much lower."
"We, the soldiers and civilians of the Great Zhou, know Honghua City very well. After the Xiongnu cavalry entered, we played them around!"
"Besides, there are more than 100,000 civilians in Honghua City who also participated in the operation of shooting the Huns."
"Many Xiongnu have several arrows stuck in their bodies. We are now having a headache. How should we count the military merits and how should we settle the rewards?"
The soldiers on the city wall burst into thunderous cheers. They won, and won so beautifully!
This is definitely the most exciting battle that the Great Zhou has fought against the Huns in decades!
"Bai Qi is mighty, Bai Qi is mighty!"
"God of War, God of War, God of War!"
The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted angrily.
They were full of admiration for Bai Qi's strategies, and every battle with the Huns resulted in heavy casualties.
But Bai Qi wiped out 30,000 elite Hun soldiers with such little loss, which directly overturned their understanding.
Bai Qi smiled, turned around and looked at the generals, holding his Fang Tian Hua Ji in front of him, and said calmly: "Now you are also closed-minded!"
"What do you want to do?" Ten thousand generals were shocked.
"Of course I'll send you off." Bai Qi licked his lips and said.
"I am a general of ten thousand troops. If you kill me, you will be guilty of a great crime!" the general threatened.
Yang Paifeng also grabbed Bai Qi's arm and reminded him, "Let's wait for my adoptive father to come back. We will definitely be able to punish him."
"Sanctions?"
Bai Qi shook his head and snorted:
"He was a general of 10,000 troops. Although he did not help the dying, the most he could have done was dismissal. But because he avoided the battle, these 5,000 soldiers had a close call with death."
"I will be very upset if I let him go!"
Bai Qi wielded his Fang Tian Hua Ji and stabbed it fiercely into the heart of the general.
Tens of thousands of people looked in disbelief at the weapon piercing their chests, their hearts filled with pain and regret.
If I had known this earlier, I shouldn’t have listened to Pan Hu.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world.
"Bai Qi, you are capable of killing even Pan Hu!"
Tens of thousands of people will roar in dissatisfaction.
Bai Qi laughed loudly, his eyes looking down upon the world, and said calmly: "Don't worry, when I catch Pan Hu, I will definitely marry him!"
Madman, madman!
Ten thousand generals never thought that Bai Qi actually wanted to kill Pan Hu.
"This is what will happen to anyone who dares to frame his comrades!"
"No one will be exempted!"
Bai Qi roared, turned his wrist, and directly picked up the generals of ten thousand people.
Tens of thousands of people will die!
"Thank you, sir! You have sought justice for us!"
"If the imperial court blames us one day, we are willing to die with you!"
"If you break this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Five thousand soldiers roared wildly. It was so cool, so cool.
They thought these scum would get away with it, but they didn't expect Bai Qi to kill ten thousand generals and even cause trouble for Pan Hu.
Their inner grief and anger were vented at this moment.
The soldiers knelt down one after another and saluted Bai Qi solemnly.
"Thank you for guarding the city and protecting us!"
The soldiers on the city wall also saluted.
They knew very well what kind of person Pan Hu was. If he saw that the situation was not good, he would definitely abandon the city and flee.
If Bai Qi had not taken over the command of Honghua City, they would have surely died here.
"Thank you, sir, for guarding the city and protecting the people!"
"We are willing to write a letter to all nations and submit it to the imperial court."
Under the city, civilians came out one by one, gathered together spontaneously, and knelt down one after another.
Bai Qi defended the city for them.
The people are the most grateful people.
Bai Qi deserves to be supported by the people.
“These are the people!”
"As long as you are truly kind to the people, they will give you their hearts!"
Bai Qi looked at these soldiers and Bai Xin, and his heart was touched for the first time.
Before, he only desired personal strength and wanted to possess supreme power so that he could avenge his mother.
But he never fit in with this world.
But at this moment, his cold heart finally melted.
"I, Bai Qi, will never let down the people of this world in this life!"
"Come here, hang the body of the Xiongnu general on the top of the city wall so that the Xiongnu can have a good look at it."
At Bai Qi's command, someone immediately dragged the body of the Xiongnu general, hung it with a rope, and dropped it on the basket at the city gate.
The next moment.
The Hun army panicked.
"How could it be that only an hour had passed and our general was killed?"
"This person is second only to my king in status."
"Oh my God, how terrifying is Honghua City?"
"No more fighting, no more fighting!"
"The enemy is invincible!"
The Hun soldiers ignored all orders and retreated in fear, no matter how the Hun leaders scolded them.
The first Khan of the Xiongnu sighed, the situation was hopeless.
"Withdraw!"
The Hun army came with great momentum, but suffered heavy casualties when they left.
This was the greatest shame in the life of the first Hun Khan.
He swore to take revenge!
Da Zhou calendar, year 852, November.
Bai Qi offered a brilliant plan and defeated the Huns in one battle!
Famous all over the world!
Deep in the grassland.
Qin Pojun joined forces with Yang Wudi, gathered 300,000 troops, and chased the Second Khan of the Xiongnu into a panic.
At this moment, the whole army slaughtered cattle and sheep beside the campfire to celebrate their military achievements.
Yang Tianbao hit Qin Pojun with a hammer and said enviously: "This time, you led an army of 200,000 and defeated the Xiongnu, killing a total of 30,000 enemies. The credit for this battle must go to you!"
"You're welcome! You're just unlucky."
Qin Pojun chuckled, and then his words and actions revealed themselves, and he said proudly:
"I'm not bragging. From ancient times to now, no one has ever been able to match me. You know, killing the Hun cavalry is extremely difficult."
"The number of enemies I killed is enough to break the record of the Great Zhou's use of troops against the Xiongnu!"
"If I take action, any of my personal soldiers will be defeated in one battle!"
Meng Feiyu beside Qin Pojun was very cooperative, and said with his chin up: "Yes, following my prince is the wisest choice!"
Yang Tianbao was so angry that his teeth were itching. How can you call this politeness?
Yang Wudi was also envious. He clinked his wine jug with Qin Zheng's and said depressedly:
"You left 200,000 troops to your kid this time, and only brought 100,000 yourself. You also gave up the main battle sequence. You really spared no effort in training your son!"
Qin Zheng smiled. Who says that the Northwest is the home ground of us Qin people?
Then at this moment, the messenger came running.
"Report - urgent military information has arrived from the direction of Honghua City!"
Qin Zheng, Yang Wudi, Qin Pojun, and Yang Tianbao's faces changed drastically in an instant.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Qin Zhen asked majestically.
"Reporting to the two commanders, the 10,000 troops led by Yang Paifeng encountered the main force of the First Khan of the Xiongnu, 200,000 cavalry, on the grassland!"
The messenger dared not hide it.
"What!?"
Yang Tianbao was shocked, this was his most beloved eighth sister.
Yang Wudi's body shook even more. Although he had already seen his son die before him, his eldest son also died on the battlefield.
But this time it was a daughter.
This was unacceptable to Yang Wudi.
"Is Yang Paifeng dead?"
"Or rather..."
Yang Wudi couldn't imagine another outcome, which was being captured.
The Huns captured a woman from the Central Plains, and she was a female general. Anyone can imagine how miserable her fate would be.
Qin Zheng was also upset, and quickly patted Yang Wudi on the shoulder and comforted him: "Yang Wudi, please accept my condolences..."
At this moment, the messenger said the second half of his sentence:
"The first Hun Khan attacked with his entire army, but General Yang Paifeng followed Bai Qi's advice and used the Wei Wuzu square formation, and actually resisted the charge of 200,000 Hun cavalry!"
"In this battle, the enemy lost more than 5,000 men, while ours lost no more than 300."
"Big victory!"
In an instant, the whole audience was petrified.
Yang Wudi blinked, then suddenly grabbed the messenger's neck and asked, "Is this true?"
At this moment, no one believed it.
Isn't this funny?
Ten thousand people were able to resist an army of 200,000 and even killed 5,000 of them. Most importantly, they only lost less than 300 people?
"real!"
The messenger was extremely excited and continued, "This is not the end yet. The Xiongnu Khan then cut off the water supply, hoping to let General Yang Paifeng die of thirst."
At this time, the generals around gasped.
"This is a poisonous move!"
"Could it be that General Yang Paifeng was defeated like this?"
They all looked as if it was just as they expected.
The joy on Yang Wudi's face froze instantly, and his voice trembled a little, "And then?"
"Then, Lord Bai Qi actually obtained water out of thin air and solved the problem of drinking water, which made the First Khan of the Xiongnu so angry that he fell off his horse on the spot!" said the messenger with admiration.
this!
Qin Pojun was dumbfounded.
Yang Tianbao was dumbfounded.
What is it like to take water out of thin air?
Even Yang Wudi and Qin Zheng looked confused.
But they were more concerned about the future battle situation, so they asked one by one.
The messenger continued, "After that, the Xiongnu pursued them all the way, and finally General Yang Paifeng returned to Honghua City with 5,000 soldiers."
"But Pan Hu neither responded nor opened the city gate."
boom!
All the generals were furious.
"I must kill him!"
Yang Wudi was so angry that he pounded his thigh. He really regretted keeping Pan Hu, this scourge.
His daughter escaped from the first Hun Khan with great difficulty, but ended up dying at the hands of her own people.
This makes me angry just by listening to it.
"How is my eighth sister?" Yang Tianbao's voice was trembling.
"General, you don't know that at this moment, Bai Qi exploded and cut off the suspension bridge..."
The messenger told what happened next.
The people around me are talking with bigger and bigger mouths.
Even Qin Zheng, who was usually steady, had the wine jug in his hand slip to the ground.
"You mean, Bai Qi alone not only saved 5,000 soldiers, but also annihilated 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry?"
"How much did our army lose in this battle?"
Yang Wudi felt that his mind was in a mess and he needed to sort it out.
The messenger held up a finger.
"Ten thousand?" Yang Tianbao guessed.
"More than a thousand." The messenger said proudly, as if he was commanding the battle.
Yang Tianbaozhi felt his head buzzing.
Qin Zheng's eyes sparkled with victory as he exclaimed, "Heroes emerge from youth, heroes emerge from youth! You are worthy of being an old Qin man!"
"I will definitely report this to the court and reward Bai Qi handsomely!"
At this time, Yang Tianbao finally came to his senses and asked, "Then how many Xiongnu cavalry did my eighth sister destroy this time?"
"Sixty thousand!" the messenger said excitedly.
At this moment, Yang Tianbao laughed loudly, patted Qin Pojun on the shoulder and said: "Brother Qin, you were just boasting that you were the general of the Great Zhou who killed the most Huns in one battle."
"What's the result? Compared to Bai Qi, you are so weak!"
"You led 200,000 cavalrymen and only killed 30,000."
"But Bai Qi, the number of people who really obeyed his orders was no more than 10,000, yet he killed 60,000 enemies!"
Qin Pojun's face turned red when he heard this.
Yang Tianbao glanced at Meng Feiyu calmly and sneered, "Is it great to be promoted to a captain of a thousand men in one battle? Bai Qi's one battle is enough to be promoted to a general!"
Meng Feiyu only felt the sound of his face being hit.
Why, why does Bai Qi have to be so strong?
He kept roaring in his heart: Since feathers have been born, why are they born?
Qin Zheng and Yang Wudi ignored the younger generation's quarrel. After looking at each other, they said seriously: "This boy will catch up with us soon. The Great Zhou will have another great commander!"
