Volume 1, Chapter 31: The Xiongnu Khan’s evil plan escalates again

. On the Xiongnu side, the first Xiongnu Khan was so angry that he fell from his horse.

The people around immediately shouted: "Witch doctor, call the witch doctor!"

Immediately, an old Hun with colorful paint on his face and dressed in a very strange way came.

He looked at the Khan whose face was red with anger, took out a silver needle from the cowhide bag on his waist, and pierced it directly into the ear of the First Khan.

The Huns ate meat and drank alcohol, so they were prone to high blood pressure. After the injection, a line of blood spurted out of the First Khan's ear.

After a long while, the spurting blood slowly stopped.

The First Khan felt less dizzy.

"I'm so mad!"

"I'm going to tear that centurion into pieces!"

He roared, his whole body shaking.

He traveled across the grasslands all his life and even wrote love letters to the Queen Mother of Zhou, but the other party was unable to do anything to him.

Even the Emperor of the Great Zhou had to curry favor with him, marry him, and give him his beautiful daughter.

But today, a small centurion Bai Qi can despise and humiliate him so much.

This was unbearable for him.

“Whoever tries to take this man’s life will be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep, ten boxes of treasure, and ten beauties!”

“And he will be named the bravest warrior in the Xiongnu court!”

The First Khan directly offered a bounty to Bai Qi.

The surrounding Huns felt jealous when they heard this.

In his heart, the threat to Bai Qi reached a new level.

After nightfall, the moon shines brightly.

A bonfire was lit in the military camp of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Everyone slaughtered the horses that died in the battle directly, and the aroma of barbecue filled the air.

"Bai Qi, this time I will definitely report your merits to His Majesty, and you can just wait for promotion and wealth!"

Yang Paifeng said with a smile.

The people around were immediately envious.

This time, Bai Qi’s military achievements were outstanding, but no one knew what military rank he would be awarded?

Will he directly become a general of a thousand men?

When they thought of this, Erniu, Dazhuang and others became extremely excited, as they were Bai Qi's confidants.

If Bai Qi gets promoted, they will be promoted too!

They even thought that they could save money to marry a fair-skinned wife from the city.

However, Bai Qi silently said in his heart: "System, count the results of the battle for me!"

He wanted to see how much he had gained from this battle.

【Accept host request.】 】

【Battle results being counted】

【Host killed 131 ordinary enemies, EXP +1310】

【Host killed 7 'corporal level' enemies, EXP +140】

【Host killed 2 'centurion level' enemies, EXP +200】

【Host killed 'The First Warrior of the Huns', EXP +500】

【Battle results counted, host has met the upgrade requirements, do you want to choose continuous upgrade? 】

After a day of fighting, Bai Qi’s internal energy was exhausted, so he immediately chose to upgrade. He wanted to keep himself in peak condition at all times.

To deal with unknown risks.

"System, upgrade me to the next level!"

He did not choose continuous upgrades as it was not cost-effective. After all, with each upgrade, his internal strength and physical strength would reach the maximum.

He couldn't waste this opportunity.

【Accept host's request! 】

The system prompt sounded.

In an instant, Bai Qi felt an invisible golden light enveloping his whole body. His exhausted internal strength was instantly restored, and the soreness in his muscles disappeared.

He opened the property panel without hesitation.

Host: Bai Qi.

Internal Force: 700 (the seventh level of internal force)

Physical body: 700 (the seventh level of body refining)

Proficient languages: Chinese, Xiongnu

Treasures and elixirs: one-star low-grade weapon "Fang Tian Huaji Forged from Cold Iron", one Essence Pill.

Experience points earned: 3150

"I've reached the seventh level of internal strength! I still have so much experience points left."

"Enough for me to level up three or four more."

"After this battle, my strength increased dramatically!"

Bai Qi remembered that when he first entered the grassland, he was only level 4, but now he has reached level 7.

His internal energy has slowly turned into atomized energy. He can now inject more of the atomized internal energy into his weapon. His combat power is rapidly increasing.

And most importantly, the space he carries with him has reached 5 cubic meters.

It's like a small water tank.

Bai Qi stood up immediately.

"Where are you going?"

Yang Paifeng found that Bai Qi did not eat meat and actually walked towards the water source in the distance.

"Tell the soldiers to get more water."

Bai Qi walked to the water source, put his hand into the water, and with a thought, his portable space began to frantically absorb pure water.

In an instant, there were 5 cubic meters of water in his space.

At this time, Yang Paifeng also realized the importance of water, and immediately ordered everyone to fill up the water bags they carried with them.

As for food, there was simply too much of it. So many Huns’ war horses died, enough for the beauty to hang several kilograms of top-quality horse meat on her body.

"I am more and more confident that I can bring them back."

Yang Paifeng was in a good mood at the moment and was full of confidence in the future war. She looked at Bai Qi with her beautiful eyes and said, "Because of you!"

Bai Qi smiled. I hope so!

Bai Qi held a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, stood in front, and voluntarily joined the night watch team.

Now, they must have at least two thousand people to be on guard at all times to prevent enemy sneak attacks.

This will be a brutal escape.

..........

On the Huns side.

The First Khan did not sleep all night, and all the Hun high-ranking officials were discussing how to deal with Bai Qi and others.

"Everyone, tell me, is there any solution?"

asked the First Khan.

"Attack them forcefully, day and night, and make them exhausted. As long as the physical strength of the Great Zhou soldiers reaches the limit, their Wei Wuzu phalanx will collapse without a fight!"

suggested the Huns general.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately objected: "If we do this, the Great Zhou will indeed be exhausted, but how much better will our army be?"

"Don't forget, we are not just dealing with this army of 10,000 people. The ultimate goal is to attack Honghua City."

"If we kill these 10,000 people, we will suffer heavy losses and will have no troops to deal with Yang Wudi."

Everyone was talking about it.

Everyone was troubled by the damage caused during the day.

If they really followed the Xiongnu general's method, they would have to lose at least 50,000 to 60,000 people before they could completely annihilate the Great Zhou soldiers.

The cost is too high.

"Then what do you say we should do?"

The Hun general was very depressed. He was good at commanding a war, but he was not good at plotting and scheming.

The First Khan looked around for a long time and saw that no one could come up with a feasible plan. He cursed inwardly, saying that they were all a bunch of idiots and their IQ was not as good as that of the centurion Bai Qi.

When people are in life-and-death crisis, they can think of a solution instantly.

The first Hun Khan pondered for a moment and said coldly: "Drain all their water! I want to make them die of thirst."

Boom -

all the Hun leaders understood instantly.

Some people slapped their heads and said, "Yes, the most frightening thing on this grassland is not having nothing to eat, but having no water to drink."

"That's why we Huns have to live near water and grass."

"Also, so many horses die in every battle now, and the meat is enough to eat for a year."

"But the water bag each soldier can carry is only enough for two or three days."

"As long as we drive them to a place without water, they can't drink water, and we don't even have to fight, their army will collapse!"

"Khan is wise!"

Immediately, the Huns' high-ranking officials saluted one after another, and their respect for the First Khan rose to a new level.

Although the First Khan was not satisfied with the stupidity of these people, he was a little proud that it could strengthen his ruling authority.

Although you in the Great Zhou can use the Wei Wuzu phalanx to restrain the cavalry, we can use this vast grassland to kill you with thirst!

"Pass on my military orders:"

"First, send out 20,000 cavalrymen to cut off the water source upstream of the stream that the soldiers of the Great Zhou must pass through!"

"Second, the entire army should rest and try not to engage in a battle with the Great Zhou. Just make a feint attack from a distance to keep them busy all the time."

"Third, if the Great Zhou army moves upstream of the water source, immediately give them a hard stop."

"We will let them die of thirst!"
