Volume 1 Chapter 101 A Great Gift for the Huns

The quartermaster was not optimistic about Bai Qi at all. Now all the Huns Khans have joined forces to besiege Honghua City.

And their logistical supplies have been cut off, and they will soon run out of grass and food.

And Bai Qi only took 10,000 elite soldiers.

Ten thousand against five hundred thousand, what can he do?

Yang Wudi's heart was also cold, but he couldn't fall down. He looked at the grassland with only one belief in his heart, Bai Qi, you can do it!

There are hundreds of millions of people behind you!

At this moment, Bai Qi was rushing to the Dragon Court of the Fifth Khan.

Along the way, the grazing Huns saw Bai Qi and his men, and sometimes they would say hello and ask about the war ahead:

"My friend, are you back from the front line?"

"Did our Khan break through Honghua City?"

"My son is a thousand-man captain in it, and this time he will definitely snatch a white and clean woman for me."

These people's awe of cavalry is not like the people in the Central Plains.

After all, everyone on the grassland is a soldier.

Bai Qi's army remained silent in the face of these herdsmen's inquiries. After all, many people didn't know what the Xiongnu people said.

In the entire army, there were only about one or two hundred people who knew the Xiongnu language.

These were specially trained.

They were Yang Wudi's favorites, and this time, in order to cooperate with Bai Qi, they were all sent out.

Bai Qi smiled at the herdsmen, enthusiastically performed a Xiongnu etiquette to these people, and then replied: "

Our Khan has completely besieged Honghua City, and will soon return with a great victory!"

The herdsmen looked at Bai Qi's appearance, and then looked at the appearance of the soldiers around them, and always felt that something was wrong.

Although Bai Qi and his men were wearing Xiongnu clothes, they also had the unique smell of cattle and sheep of the Xiongnu people.

In order not to be recognized, they also made their faces very dirty.

But this still made the herdsmen suspicious. Someone asked puzzledly at the time: "Why have we never seen you before?" "

It stands to reason that there are so many of you, there must be a few we can recognize!"

After this herdsman said this, the other herdsmen became more vigilant.

Yang Paifeng actually understood Xiongnu language. She clenched the scimitar in her hand and said in a low voice in the Central Plains language: "Should we kill them all?"

Bai Qi smiled and shook his head, "What a joke, why kill them? If we kill them, our plan will not be possible!"

Bai Qi said this, and the soldiers around him were all question marks.

In fact, until now they still don't know what Bai Qi's plan is.

Just follow Bai Qi.

Bai Qi looked at the Xiongnu herdsmen who were gradually alert and said: "We are not soldiers under the Fifth Khan, we are under the Second Khan."

"It's normal that you haven't seen it."

"We have never been to this pastoral area."

Is that right?

These herdsmen were confused. They didn't understand why the Second Khan sent a large army at this time?

Just when they were confused, Bai Qi drew out the scimitar in his hand and shouted in the direction of the fifth Khan Xiongnu Longting:

"All troops attack!"

This was shouted in Xiongnu language, but Yang Paifeng and the others understood it. Even if they didn't understand it, they knew what to do now when they saw Bai Qi's appearance.

That was to follow Bai Qi and kill into Xiongnu Longting.

After Bai Qi finished speaking, he urged his warhorse directly, rushed to Xiongnu Longting, and killed a herdsman who was blocking the road with a knife.

After the chopping, he also ordered: "Don't worry about the herdsmen in the back, just rush forward!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Bai Qi had already taught these soldiers the simplest Xiongnu language.

His soldiers immediately shouted this sentence in Xiongnu language. Those with scimitars drew out their scimitars, and those without scimitars directly picked up the bows and arrows on their backs.

But none of them used crossbows.

Because the Xiongnu people did not have such weapons, even if they did, they were very few and could not be equipped on a large scale.

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do?"

"Oh my God! The Second Khan wants to kill us!"

"Run!"

"The Second Khan wants to annex our tribe."

"The Second Khan is so shameless. We are still in the front with him to attack the Great Zhou, but he sent troops to raid our lair."

"We will never let him go even if we die!"

The Huns shouted angrily, but no one rushed up to fight with Bai Qi and others, but fled for their lives.

Even a fool knows that these nomadic herdsmen can't fight the regular army.

Going up would only be suicide.

So they chose to escape at the first time and spread the news that the Second Khan of the Huns attacked their Fifth Khan's tribe.

They wanted to let all the people on the grassland know that the Second Khan was treacherous.

For a while, the grassland was in chaos, and all kinds of begging for mercy, cursing, and roaring resounded through the sky.

..........

At this moment.

Inside the Dragon Court of the grassland.

The more than 2,000 Hun cavalry who stayed behind heard the shouting and killing outside, and immediately rode on their horses, with angry faces.

"How dare you!"

"We are the guards of the Fifth Khan!"

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"This is the Dragon Court of the Fifth Khan. The people living inside are the Rouge of the Fifth Khan and all the nobles under our Fifth Khan."

"Can't you tell the enemy from us?"

The Dragon Court defenders roared hysterically.

They tried to oppress Bai Qi and his men with the most strict hierarchical concept of the Huns.

After all, the dress of Bai Qi and others only showed that they were the lowest level of the Huns.

But Bai Qi didn't care so much. With a wave of his scimitar, 10,000 cavalrymen grabbed their longbows and started shooting frantically.

After a round of arrow rain, both sides suffered a small amount of damage.

But soon the two armies rushed together, and the advantage of numbers was reflected at this time. 10,000 soldiers fought against more than 2,000 guards.

One charge broke the opponent's formation and directly killed 500 to 600 of the opponent.

After all, Bai Qi came prepared, and they were all elite soldiers.

The defenders of the grassland Dragon Court were used to being lax. Who would have thought that someone would attack here!

They are just like the Imperial Guards of the Central Plains Dynasty, all of whom are children of aristocrats. They are really not good at fighting, and their numbers are too small.

"Run, run!"

"We can't win."

"I want to go to the front line, I want to tell our Khan."

The remaining five or six hundred defenders gritted their teeth, and even ignored their wives and children, and ran away directly.

Anyway, many of the Huns' wives were robbed back. Today they robbed others, and tomorrow others will rob theirs.

They don't care about these things.

They don't even know whether the children born by their wives are their own.

Now they will not give up their lives to protect others, and their lives are precious.

"Kill, kill them, don't leave a single one!"

Yang Paifeng shouted excitedly, waving her scimitar and hitting the water. In the past, when she wanted to chase and kill the Huns in the grassland, these people ran away when they couldn't win, which made her depressed.

This time, these Huns needed to guard the Dragon Court, so they also put up some resistance.

It's not so easy to run.

You can kill one to your heart's content.

If you continue to chase and kill, Yang Paifeng thinks you can leave all these people behind, after all, they came prepared, and the other side is fleeing in a panic.

"Stop, stop!"

Bai Qi roared, asking all the generals under his command to stop.

Yang Paifeng reined in her warhorse, and the horse raised its front hooves, then stomped heavily on the grass. Although she obeyed Bai Qi's order, her face was full of reluctance.

"Why not chase? This is such a good opportunity to wipe out the enemy!"

Not only Yang Paifeng thought so, but others also had this question.

Although they obeyed Bai Qi's order, they all had puzzled expressions. It had been a long time since they killed so happily.

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Killing is not our purpose, and these people cannot die!"

Yang Paifeng was very puzzled and asked, "If they don't die, the news will be passed on. How can we sneak attack the dragon courts of other khans?"

According to her expected war plan, it should be to kill the dragon courts of the other side and catch the other side off guard.

Then after destroying all five dragon courts, they will return to support Honghua City.

But Bai Qi asked to let them go. Obviously, his plan was completely different from Yang Paifeng's.

Bai Qi did not explain, and he did not want to explain to these people.

Instead, he waved his scimitar again and issued a combat order to the entire army: "Capture half of the Xiongnu nobles, especially the women, and let the remaining old people and children go."

"But don't let them go too deliberately."

"Take away all the gold and silver treasures."

After Bai Qi finished speaking, Yang Paifeng and others were stunned.

"Are you attracted to the queen of the Xiongnu Khan?"

Yang Paifeng asked directly what he was thinking.

Bai Qi's mouth twitched, "How is this possible?"

"I don't even like Princess Anyang, so why would I like a Xiongnu woman?"

"Stop talking nonsense, execute the order immediately!"

Bai Qi hit Yang Paifeng on the head with his scimitar. This woman's brain circuit is really weird.

Yang Paifeng then led people into the Xiongnu Dragon Court, looted all the Xiongnu people's gold and silver treasures, and then captured the rouge of the Xiongnu Fifth Khan.

And all the wives of the tribes under the Xiongnu Fifth Khan were captured.

After capturing these people, others fled and scattered. Bai Qi did not chase them too much, but just fired a few arrows symbolically.

Some people were seriously injured.

But most of the Xiongnu nobles and priests ran away.

Bai Qi laughed and shouted to everyone in Xiongnu language:

"This time we captured the wife of the fifth Xiongnu Khan. As long as we offer her to the second Khan, you brothers can have as many cattle, sheep and women as you want in the future."

Yang Paifeng's eyes widened.

Bai Qi would not do this!

But she suddenly realized that if Bai Qi really did this, it would seem interesting.

At this moment, Yanzhi, the fifth Khan of the Xiongnu, stared at Bai Qi and said angrily in the Xiongnu language: "My Khan will never let you go!"

Bai Qi replied in the Xiongnu language: "When you become the woman of my second Khan, you will not think so. Come and take her away."

As he spoke, the soldiers captured Yanzhi, the fifth Khan of the Xiongnu, and put her on war horses. All the prisoners rode on horses and rushed to the Dragon Court of the second Khan of the Xiongnu in a mighty manner.

In the distance, the fleeing Xiongnu nobles gnashed their teeth in hatred and swore a poisonous oath in the direction of Bai Qi:

"Damn it, we must avenge this!"

"We must go to the front line and tell our Khan that the Second Khan is ambitious and we can't cooperate with him at all."

"They are fighting against the Great Zhou on the front line, and the Second Khan, this bastard, actually sent people to raid our hometown."

"He robbed our treasures and women."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"We must not let the conspiracy of the Second Khan of the Xiongnu succeed. If he becomes the Great Khan of the Xiongnu, we will be even more miserable!"

Some of these people left behind some old people and children who really couldn't ride horses, and some people who were seriously injured.

Everyone else found a horse and rushed to Honghua City frantically.

They want to report the situation to their Fifth Khan and make the Second Khan pay the price!

This is a blood feud!

Blood must be repaid with blood, tooth for tooth!

………………

Bai Qi looked at the backs of these people leaving, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I just want you to find trouble with the Second Khan!

At this moment, he was leisurely escorting the queen of the fifth Khan of the Xiongnu and the nobles to the Dragon Court of the second Khan of the Xiongnu.

After ten days of marching, they finally saw a group of tents in front of them.

There were also various high platforms for sacrifice.

Densely packed flagpoles were inserted on the high platforms, hung with animal corpses and bones, and colorful strips of cloth were tied to the flagpoles, fluttering in the wind.

On the high platforms, some totem symbols were painted with animal blood and dyes.

It was only here!

The Dragon Court of the Second Khan of the Xiongnu!

"Stop!

The Dragon Court guards of the Second Khan of the Xiongnu felt their scalps numb when they saw the mighty army.

Before Bai Qi and others approached, they immediately took a defensive posture, and everyone opened their longbows.

The sharp arrows were aimed at Bai Qi and others.

"Stop, we are our own people!"

Bai Qi immediately shouted loudly in the Xiongnu language, as enthusiastic as going home.

"Our own people?"

"Which part are you from?"

"What's the password?"

The Dragon Court guards were not stupid, and they would not allow strangers to come in.

Especially Bai Qi and others, they always felt something was a little strange.

They lacked the unique smell of the grassland people.

Bai Qi immediately shouted in Xiongnu language: "We are sent by the Second Khan of the Xiongnu to encircle and suppress the Fifth Khan of the Xiongnu!"

What!?

The Dragon Court guards were all stunned, and the leading Dragon Court guard angrily said: "Bullshit, how could my Khan let people attack the Fifth Khan?"

They felt something was wrong as soon as they heard it, and became more alert.

Bai Qi spread his hands and sneered, "You idiot, isn't the purpose of the five khans' meeting to compete for the position of the first khan?"

"Logically, the second khan should inherit the position of the first khan."

"But the fifth khan and the fourth khan don't agree."

"So the second khan came up with this idea, to capture the families of the fourth khan and the fifth khan and see if they agree!"

"We came back from the front to force the fifth khan."

Bai Qi looked like you know nothing and cursed.

It makes sense!

The guards of Longting nodded one after another, feeling that this was not wrong.

But the leader of the Dragon Court Guard frowned and looked at Bai Qi and others, his doubts intensified, and he asked carefully: "Why have I never seen you before?"

Bai Qi shook his head and said: "Of course you have never seen me, because I am under the command of the Third Khan, and my Third Khan has surrendered to the Second Khan!"

At this moment, if the Queen of the Fifth Khan of the Xiongnu had not been gagged, she would definitely say that Bai Qi was lying with his eyes open.

But the Dragon Court Guards all let down their guard, especially when they saw the captives behind Bai Qi.

They found the Queen of the Fifth Khan of the Xiongnu at a glance, after all, the Queen's dress was different from that of others.

"It seems to be true!"

Bai Qi and others not only captured the Queen of the Fifth Khan, but also seemed to have brought a lot of nobles.

Especially these women, looking at the headdresses and costumes on their bodies, they are big shots!

The Dragon Court Guards all had bright eyes.

If these were real captives, maybe they could pick a few back and turn them into their wives directly.

After all, this is the most traditional custom of the Xiongnu people.

Basically, wives are not found, but borrowed from others.

Bai Qi saw that these people gradually relaxed their vigilance, so he smiled and said, "We won't go in either. According to the order of the Second Khan, we just need to bring the people here."

Then he waved to the people behind him and said,

"Hand over all the captives to them, and also put down all the gold and silver treasures we robbed."

After Bai Qi finished speaking, Yang Paifeng immediately made a sign language, and the soldiers immediately handed over all the captives to the Xiongnu Longting guards according to their wishes.

And all the gold and silver treasures they carried were thrown to the ground.

When the package was opened, various gold and silver utensils emitted a dazzling light under the sunlight.

It directly blinded the eyes of the Xiongnu Longting people.

Originally, the leader of the Xiongnu Longting still had some doubts about Bai Qi's identity, but seeing so many Xiongnu women and so many gold and silver treasures.

Just put it in front of him, as long as he reached out and took it, it would be within his reach.

All the defensiveness in his heart was gone.

Will the enemy send treasures to himself? Will the enemy send women to himself?

This must be a friendly army!

He looked greedily at the gold and silver treasures on the ground, and then at the captured Xiongnu queen and others, thinking that since they are already here, can I still let them go?

Besides, even if I release the queen of the fifth Xiongnu Khan now, will the fifth Xiongnu Khan still agree?

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Listen to my orders and receive the prisoners and treasures!"

When he spoke, he still stared at Bai Qi, afraid that Bai Qi would suddenly attack.
