As the new Khan, Qinggertai accepted the challenge immediately. Before the challenge, he executed the former queen in front of the leaders of the eight tribes.
He had waited ten years for the day to avenge his mother.
The queen knew that the situation was hopeless and she would surely die, but in front of the eight ministers, she was determined to argue for the truth: "It is true that I poisoned your mother, but you also forged an imperial edict to kill your brother and seize the throne!
That will was definitely left by the Khan, passing the throne to my son, not you, Qinggertai!"
So the two wills were placed before her again, as well as the letters from the Khan received by the two tribes.
In addition to the prominent seals of the state and the Khan, the true will also bears the totem seals of nine tribes. When a new Khan ascends the throne, each of the eight tribes presents a totem seal of their own tribe.
However, the edict passing the throne to his son only had the Khan's seal on it.
She read the two letters again.
The two letters and one edict were delivered by the Khan's "Flying Eagle".
She lost her spirit and felt lost.
So why? After doting on us mother and son for ten years, he finally sent us to hell?
Regardless of whether she figured it out or not, someone had already dragged her out to be executed.
She once had the grandest wedding in front of the eight tribes, and the most powerful man on the grassland broke an arrow and swore an oath for her.
Now, she looked the most shabby and miserable in front of the eight tribes, and the most powerful man dug a pit with his own hands to send her and her child to death.
The young uncle was probably still sighing with emotion, but Amugulang couldn't wait to take out the quiver for drawing lots.
He and the new Khan each drew an arrow.
Three days later, the two led their troops to set out. Most people believed that Qinggertai was sure to win and that defeating Amugulang was only a matter of time.
The city defense that Qinggertai drew was named "Luhui Town", with 3,000 people stationed there, and the young general Shen Yun guarding the city.
In the eyes of the people in Luhui Town, Chen Yun led these 3,000 people and was busy every day doing all kinds of strange things.
Today I'm busy making clay slabs, tomorrow I'm busy digging ditches, digging them as deep as wells, are I going to open a river? The day after tomorrow I'll practice running, the day after that I'll ride horses back and forth, strengthen the city walls and practice archery. Oh, this seems to be the real work.
The three thousand men led by Qinggertai were all elite soldiers. Before they reached the city, they saw a young general under the banner of Shen who seemed to be waiting for them.
Interesting, it seems the lookouts and scouts at this city defense point are quite competent.
But Qinggertai took a quick look. Just five hundred cavalrymen? Against his one thousand cavalrymen and two thousand elite soldiers?
Are you too young, ignorant and fearless? Since you are willing to die, let's start fighting. At Qinggertai's command, a thousand cavalry rushed forward, and two thousand infantry followed behind, ready to pick up a basket and make up a knife.
The momentum of the thousand cavalrymen charging forward seemed to have frightened the five hundred men led by Shen Yun. They were stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned their horses around and galloped back to the city.
Qinggertai sneered: "Chase!" Going further, it seemed that he could see the city gate opening in the distance to welcome the returning 500 cavalrymen.
Qinggertai thought: Be prepared for the slaughter you will soon face... He pointed at the city gate and said, "Charge in!"
The sudden change happened in an instant, as if a cry of "Get up!" suddenly appeared. The road before them suddenly turned into a trench about two feet deep. The Northern Hun cavalry, who had no time to stop their horses, fell in with their horses. The horses and men with broken legs screamed and huddled together, unable to climb out.
At the back, at Qinggertai, one could clearly see countless terracotta stone slabs with wooden frames underneath, covering the trench, which was more than two meters wide and five or six meters deep.
These lids were like drawers that could be pulled open along wooden rails. When the Xuanyuan cavalry ran over, with the shout of "rise", many soldiers lying far away under the city wall would pull the ropes hard and pull open these pottery slabs at a rapid speed.
So many people and horses fell into the deep ditch, and they felt something slippery at the bottom. "Oh no! Kerosene!"
The five hundred Xuanyuan Dynasty cavalrymen did not run far away. They turned around and threw fire signals into the trench. Flames shot up into the sky and screams rang out one after another.
There were still a few scattered Northern Hun cavalrymen behind them, who retreated and tried to run and then jump over the trench, but many horses were afraid of fire and hesitated to move forward. Some of them jumped but were shot by arrows and slashed by swords by the 500 soldiers guarding this side, stabbing their horses in the belly and cutting off their legs. Some fell into the deep pit, and some fell to the ground and were quickly hacked to death.
The Northern Hun infantry following behind were still in shock. The five hundred Xuanyuan cavalry drew their bows and shot arrows, using their advantage of being on high ground to kill Qinggertai's infantry.
The Xuanyuan soldiers remembered their leader Chen Yun's words clearly: "These infantrymen rushed over, and the incident happened in front of them. They were stunned for only this moment.
This is the best time to kill the enemy. The five hundred of you should draw your bows and shoot arrows quickly, steadily and accurately.
Wait until they run back, then shoot again. This is your second chance. By this time, the slabs will have been covered. Charge forward, chase, and slash. This is your third chance to kill them. Be brave, fierce, and accurate.
What follows is a fight.
These three strikes are the moments with the lowest cost and greatest possibility of killing the Northern Hun infantry. We must try to kill them successfully in the shortest possible time.
Our success depends entirely on the three key strategies of destroying the cavalry and infantry at the front."
Qinggertai saw the soldiers lying at the base of the city wall. After pulling up the stone slabs, they quickly stood up and ran over with cloth strips wrapped in their hands, and pushed the ceramic stone slabs back to cover them.
As soon as the board was put up, the 500 Xuanyuan cavalrymen rushed across the ditch again and attacked Qinggertai's retreating infantry.
After finishing the work of opening and closing the lid, the Xuanyuan soldiers drew the swords on their backs and charged behind the five hundred cavalrymen.
The city gate was really opened, and nearly a thousand Xuanyuan infantry rushed out to join the battle.
