Volume 1, Chapter 118 Yang Wudi's Plan

On the grassland.

A small team of Huns carrying food was slowly moving forward.

As they walked, they chatted and laughed with the Hun women around them.

In theory, it is not allowed to bring women with you when leading troops to war, but the military discipline of the Huns is very lax,

and they are not regular troops in the front, but a logistics supply team that mainly escorts food and grass.

In the official establishment of the Huns, this is considered a non-staff member.

So their military discipline is even more lax. In order to have some fun in escorting food and grass, they just robbed some women along the way.

While the Huns were escorting food and grass, there was a woman on his horse.

As they walked, they talked and laughed, "After our Khan captures Honghua City, I will rob you some silk to wear. The silk of the Central Plains Dynasty is very comfortable to wear."

The woman on the horse giggled, her eyes full of expectation and envy.

After all, how can wearing fur all day be as comfortable as wearing silk?

Silk is a high-end luxury in the Xiongnu, and only the real nobles can enjoy it.

"Come, have a drink with me!"

The Xiongnu cavalry laughed and took out the wine bag from their body and handed it to the women on their horseback.

These women are not like the women in the Central Plains at all. After being robbed, they feel extremely angry.

Many women feel very happy. After all, being robbed by other men shows that they are attractive.

Just when the group was talking and laughing, suddenly, a cavalry came on the grassland.

As soon as they approached, these cavalrymen directly opened their bows and shot arrows.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The few people headed by the grain pressing team were shot in the throat before they could react. They stared at the boss and fell straight on the grassland.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Damn it! Whose army is this? Don't you know that we are the subjects of the three Khans!"

They cursed angrily, because they could only see that the people coming were wearing Xiongnu costumes, and they didn't think that they might be soldiers of the Great Zhou.

So they shouted and cursed crazily in Xiongnu language, trying to scare them away.

Some people were still thinking, could this be other tribes on the grassland?

Although the Huns dominated the grassland, there were already other smaller tribes on the grassland, such as the Khitan and the Xianbei.

But these were just a small tribe, and they usually didn't dare to be enemies with them.

How could there be such an army today to plunder their food and grass?

Just as they were thinking, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had already rushed over, waving their scimitars, and killed the cavalry leader in front with one knife.

"Idiot! You even bring a woman to the war? It's simply courting death!"

Da Zhuang cursed angrily, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The stupider the opponent, the easier it is to kill.

And almost everyone has a woman on his horse, so they can't run away, and they often get in the way during the war.

Some people couldn't even swing their scimitars when they handed over to their cavalry.

After all, there was a Hun woman in front of everyone, and it was very difficult to pull out the scimitar, and how to deal with the woman in front?

Some people kicked the women off their horses, but it was too late. By the time he could swing his scimitar, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the people of Chuluo Khan had already rushed over.

They didn't have time to react at all.

In just a moment of close combat, the grain-pressing team was completely wiped out!

Because this battle was basically a one-sided massacre.

One side was a premeditated raid, and the other side was unprepared, and they also brought their female relatives. Many people even drank too much and were staggering.

If there were still deaths, Dazhuang felt that he could just take off his armor and return to the fields.

Soon, there were corpses all over the grassland, but Dazhuang did not kill the Xiongnu women. After all, he still had his bottom line.

These Xiongnu women had been scared and fled.

Dazhuang waved his scimitar and said, "Send the grain and grass to Honghua City immediately."

The Xiongnu people's grain and grass were still relatively good. After all, most of them were beef jerky, which was easy to carry and could quickly replenish physical strength.

When time was tight, you didn't even have to cook, just grab a piece and eat it.

When Choro Khan's men saw the Xiongnu women fleeing in all directions, their eyes lit up. Some even rode their horses forward and grabbed the most beautiful Xiongnu woman.

"This one is mine!"

He laughed and was about to pull the woman away.

After all, every time the Xiongnu finished a battle, they needed to reward the three armies.

Whoever grabbed the spoils would own them.

But as soon as he laughed, Dazhuang had already ridden his horse forward and killed the cavalryman with a knife.

"Whoever dares to disobey military orders again will be killed without mercy!"

Dazhuang imitated Bai Qi and coldly glanced at the other Xiongnu who followed suit. These people shuddered all over.

The Xiongnu saw the soldiers of the Great Zhou again, and they had already picked up their bows and arrows and aimed at them.

Only then did they let go of the women in their hands unwillingly.

At this time, they finally discovered the gap between the Xiongnu and the soldiers of the Great Zhou .

No soldier of the Great Zhou went to grab women.

…………

The same thing kept happening.

A total of 15 interception troops were sent, and most of them had completed their tasks.

But there will always be one or two fish that slip through the net.

.....

10 days later.

Ten miles away from the Xiongnu Khan coalition camp, Bai Qi, Yang Paifeng, and Chuluo Khan stood quietly on a meadow.

Two armies were slowly approaching from the north.

Chuluo Khan's mouth twitched and he cursed: "Damn it, someone actually didn't follow the route I planned for them!"

He thought he could definitely control all the logistics supply marching routes of the three Khans. He

had originally wanted to show his ability and value in front of Bai Qi.

As a result, two logistics supply armies did not march according to his set route and broke through their interception.

At this time, he looked at Bai Qi again, and his heart was even more shocked.

After all, Bai Qi had already filled this almost impossible loophole.

Bai Qi waved his hand, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and coldly ordered: "Kill!"

Then he rushed up with his men and horses.

When the other side saw someone rushing towards them, they were so scared that they kicked the woman on the horse and ran for their lives.

But how could they possibly be better than Bai Qi and his men?

Bai Qi quickly caught up with them, and when he swept the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, four or five screams were heard at the same time.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing an ordinary enemy, experience value +10]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing an ordinary enemy, experience value +10]

A series of screen-swiping sounds rang out.

Chuluo Khan's mouth twitched wildly, because he saw a very exciting scene. Bai Qi's Fang Tian Hua Ji killed these people, just like a sword cutting tofu.

Whatever it was, whether it was a man or a horse, whether it was a weapon or steel, as long as it touched Bai Qi's Fang Tian Hua Ji, it would be cut off instantly.

Bai Qi didn't use any internal force at all, he just waved the Fang Tian Hua Ji casually, like a killing god.

One person rushed over and killed almost all the people in a team.

This is too fierce!

Chuluo Khan was jealous and crazy.

If he could have this Fang Tian Hua Ji, he might be as brave and unparalleled as Bai Qi.

But this idea was just a thought. It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to seize Bai Qi's Fengtian Huaji!

In just a quarter of an hour, the two teams were killed by Bai Qi.

As for those Xiongnu women, Bai Qi captured them directly and did not let them escape. He had another plan in mind.

………………

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty once again came to the Hall of Worship.

"Three Centimeters, it's been almost a month, why hasn't there been good news from the front line?"

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't wait any longer. For him, every day, every minute and every second of these days was torture.

"Wait a little longer!"

The Third Worshiper closed his eyes. He hated to hear the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty speak now. Can you stop crying like a crow all day?

"Otherwise, let's be ready to flee overseas at any time! Honghua City has been besieged for almost a month."

"Yang Wudi still uses the same tactics as last time."

"Can this win?"

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty felt that it was better to be prepared for both situations.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the third priest. He tried hard to suppress his anger. For a moment, he really wanted to kill the Great Zhou Emperor in front of him with a wave of his hand.

Didn't Bai Qi tell you everything? He has confidence!

Of course, Bai Qi did not tell the Great Zhou Emperor all his plans. After all, Bai Qi did not trust the Great Zhou Emperor and the priests.

The third priest finally suppressed his anger and muttered to himself: "This is what I chose, this is what I chose, calm down!"

………………

Honghua City.

The city began to run out of food.

That was really out of food!

The soldiers on the top of the city were starving and weak. The only good thing was that this time they had experience and cooked some porridge in the city every day, and finally no one died.

But this is not a solution.

The faces of the ten thousand generals became even uglier. They really didn't understand why Yang Wudi chose this way!

"Marshal, if we don't fight with the other side, we will really have no fighting power! Fight! If we don't fight, everyone will die."

One after another, the ten thousand generals asked for battle. They didn't want to be as frustrated as last time.

But Yang Wudi shook his head stubbornly: "No, wait! Keep waiting! We have no food, and the Xiongnu are running out of food. They have more people, we can wear them out!"

If Yang Wudi had not been stationed in Honghua City for decades, he would have an unparalleled prestige.

At this moment, someone would definitely scold Yang Wudi for being old and confused.

Under the city, the head of the Tianji Sect and the three khans smiled. They knew everything about the city.

The fifth khan said: "Although we don't have much food, it's only enough for everyone to eat for two days, but if we starve for another two days, Honghua City will definitely be broken without a fight like last time!"

The fourth khan also agreed very much and laughed: "Then let's wait for two more days. This time we must destroy Honghua City and kill everyone in the city!"

The third khan frowned and asked: "Why haven't our food and grass been transported here?"

When he said this, several khans were immediately unsure and looked at the head of the Tianji Sect.

Could it be that there is a problem in our rear?

The head of the Tianji Sect had a bad guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to let the third Khan retreat, so he quickly analyzed:

"Is there another tribe on the grassland who wants to take advantage of the fire? Deliberately rob our food?"

When he said this, several Khans were moved.

Someone cursed: "Is it that grandson of Chuluo? If we had known earlier, we should have found him and killed him!"

After they killed the second Khan, they still went to find Chuluo Khan, but the place was already empty.

Even the Dragon Court on the grassland was unguarded.

"Could it be other small tribes? I remember that there are several newly rising tribes in the northwest and southeast, called Khitan and Xianbei."

The fifth Khan pinched his chin and muttered to himself.

"Damn it, after we kill Yang Wudi this time, we must kill them all!"

"On the grassland, they dared not obey the discipline of our Xiongnu!"

The three Khans made a decision that they must not let other small tribes rise up, and they must destroy these tribes as much as possible.

"What should we do now? Go back?" asked the third Khan.

The head of the Tianji Sect immediately dissuaded him, "Khan, absolutely not. If we go back this time, we will never have the chance to break through Honghua City!"

"And as long as we break through Honghua City, will we still worry about not being able to find food?"

His eyes turned cold and he looked at the soldiers on the city wall.

The three Xiongnu Khans looked at each other and understood what the head of the Tianji Sect meant. Then they smiled and said, "You are right. As long as we break through Honghua City, it is impossible for our grassland warriors to starve to death!"

Then they ordered their subordinates, "Eat and drink enough in the next two days. After two days, launch a general attack on Honghua City!" With the

orders of the three Khans, it took less than two days for the Xiongnu people to consume all the food and grass.

On the morning of the third day, the Xiongnu Khan gave an order, "The whole army will attack the city!"

The tragic siege began!

Like the last time, the Xiongnu cut down the surrounding trees to build a floating bridge, making the moat of Honghua City completely useless.

After that, they began to hit the city gate frantically.

The battle began

. In the distance, Choro Khan clenched his scimitar and asked excitedly, "General Bai Qi, is it time for us to charge forward?"

Bai Qi shook his head and snorted, "Are we going to die now?"

This sentence made Choro Khan's heart ache.

But he also realized that now was the moment when the morale of the Huns was at its highest. If he used these 25,000 people to fight against their 380,000, the outcome might be tragic.

"Sir, are we just going to watch them break the city?" Da Zhuang asked puzzledly.

Bai Qi was much more polite to his own people and patiently explained: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, now is not the best time to attack."

"As the saying goes, attack the enemy halfway across the river, that is, when the enemy is halfway across the river, kill them and make them in a dilemma."

"It's the same for siege, let them attack with all their strength, and when they are exhausted, we kill them again!"

Da Zhuang and others were his subordinates, and at this time, Bai Qi was also happy to teach them these military tactics.

Just treat it as a practical teaching.

So that's it!

Da Zhuang and others nodded repeatedly.

Although they didn't understand it very well, they also knew that it was like a person climbing up a house. When the enemy is halfway up with a ladder, if you mess with him, he will be uncomfortable.

The corner of Chuluo Khan's mouth twitched. Bai Qi was indeed insidious!

This was not a simple repulsion of the coalition forces of the three Khans. This was to bite off a piece of their flesh!

Yang Paifeng looked at Bai Qi with admiration, thinking, how should we do it!

If we want to play, we should play big!

Everyone looked at Honghua City in front of them.

......

At the same time, the tens of thousands of generals in Honghua City had already looked ashen. The original scene was about to be repeated.

How could they defend this?

Just when they wanted to blame Yang Wudi, Yang Wudi waved his hand and directly beat the war drum.

The next moment, rows and rows of elite soldiers rushed up from under the city. These people were all ruddy and their steps were steady.

There were as many as 10,000 people, who directly replaced the old, weak and disabled on the wall.

This is... where did the elite come from?

The tens of thousands of generals were stunned.

Yang Wudi laughed and said, "You don't think we really have no food?"

"We do not have enough food, but we are well prepared this time. How can we run out of food so easily!"

"I supplied the main food to the elite, so that they can eat and hide, just for today! Otherwise, how dare the Xiongnu Khan fight a war of attrition with us so confidently?"

Yang Wudi drew out his sword and shouted, "Soldiers, swear to defend the city to the death. As long as we hold the city today, the Xiongnu will surely be defeated! Tomorrow, we will launch a full-scale counterattack!"

"Kill!"

These elite soldiers shouted in unison, and then began to frantically pour rolling logs and kerosene on the city wall to the bottom of the city.

For a time, Honghua City was full of momentum.

How is this possible?

The face of the head of the Tianji Sect changed drastically.
