Volume 1, Chapter 37 Killing the Huns is like killing chickens
Volume 1, Chapter 37: Killing the Huns is like killing chickens.
On the wall of Honghua City, Pan Hu, who had already run to the south gate, saw that Bai Qi actually let the Hun cavalry directly into the city. He jumped up and cursed:
"This is more of a traitor than me!"
"I dare not do that!
" "I have to have some shame too."
"How much money did you accept from the Huns?"
Pan Hu's confidants nodded repeatedly. Letting the enemy into the city would be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
At this moment, Bai Qi leisurely climbed up the city wall with 5,000 soldiers, and ignored the large-scale Hun cavalry entering the city.
The people in the city had already hidden themselves, and he was too lazy to give them any more orders. After all, they were all border residents and everyone was used to it.
At this moment, the Xiongnu cavalry did not want to conflict with the defenders of Honghua City. They needed to enter the city as quickly as possible and then assemble a large army inside the city.
After all, Honghua City has at least 70,000 to 80,000 defenders.
But as long as their hundreds of thousands of troops enter the city, killing these people will be easy.
Why hundreds of thousands?
Because they had lost nearly 30,000 cavalrymen while chasing them all the way from the grassland.
"Bai Qi, are you really going to watch them enter the city?"
Yang Paifeng was so anxious that he wanted to lead the team himself to stop the Hun cavalry.
"Wait a little longer. When 30,000 cavalrymen come in, we will catch them in a jar!"
Bai Qi tapped the top of the city wall with his fingers, counting the number of Xiongnu cavalry.
"What are you kidding? You still want to catch a turtle in a jar? I think you are just trying to throw a meat bun at a dog!"
Wanren had already wrapped his clothes around the wound to prevent further bleeding.
He leaned weakly against the city wall, just wanting to see how Bai Qi would shoot himself in the foot.
A quarter of an hour later, after the Hun general entered Honghua City with his personal guards,
the Ten Thousand General snorted, "Now there are 30,000 Huns coming in. Please start your performance. I want to see how you can trap them in the city?"
Bai Qi smiled and ordered, "Soldiers listen up. Pour all the kerosene at the city gate and on the suspension bridge."
"Yes!"
Now that the prefect Pan Hu has escaped, the Ten Thousand General has been abolished by Bai Qi, and Yang Paifeng has not issued any orders, the ferocious Bai Qi has obviously become the real commander of Honghua City.
All the soldiers dared not disobey the order.
This is a very cruel person who will even kill his own people when he gets ruthless.
The soldiers guarding the city immediately poured barrels of kerosene down from the top of the city gate tower.
"This is..."
Yang Paifeng suddenly widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Bai Qi with incredible eyes. She seemed to understand.
And the heart of that general was beating wildly.
As they looked on in horror, Bai Qi picked up the torch and threw it down.
"Boom--"
The kerosene burned, black smoke billowed, and the city gate instantly became a sea of fire.
Several Hun cavalrymen were directly ignited by kerosene and let out heart-wrenching screams. After a while, they were roasted into suckling pigs.
The cavalry behind immediately pulled the reins of their horses and dared not continue to enter the city.
"No, no!"
The first Khan of the Huns felt like his head was exploding.
The city gate is now like the Asura Hell, with kerosene burning and the city walls changing color. If people go there, they will be cremated on the spot.
The poor suspension bridge was quickly burned off by the fire and fell into the moat.
The Hun army was directly divided into two parts.
One hundred and twenty thousand outside the city, thirty thousand inside the city!
Bai Qi teased the First Khan of the Xiongnu: "You just wait outside to collect their bodies!"
The First Khan of the Xiongnu's face changed drastically, his body swayed, and he almost fell off his horse again. There was only one thought in his mind:
It's over, it's over, another 30,000 cavalry will be lost!
The First Khan of the Xiongnu immediately ordered: "All troops listen up, go to other city gates..."
But before he finished his words, Bai Qi grinned and said: "Pass my order, burn all the drawbridges of the remaining three city gates!"
"I want to make sure that the 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry entering the city cannot escape!"
The words of the First Khan of the Xiongnu were stuck in his throat before he could finish his words.
Finally, he collapsed as if exhausted, weakly in the arms of his personal guards.
Only then did Yang Paifeng exclaimed: "So, you wanted to use fire attack to seal off Honghua City. They have 30,000 cavalry and we have 70,000 infantry, and we also have the geographical advantage. It will be no problem to wipe them out." Yang Paifeng
admired Bai Qi more and more.
It was such a simple method that the Hun cavalry was divided into two.
In Honghua City, how could the cavalry defeat the infantry?
We can kill them anyway.
Bai Qi turned his head and looked at the generals of Wan Wan, and said lightly: "I said that it would be easy for me to destroy the Xiongnu cavalry. Are you convinced now?"
The generals of Wan Wan felt as if he was being slapped in the face.
He had already been full of admiration in his heart.
I secretly hated myself for not thinking of it before.
He also mocked that others would allow the Huns to massacre the city, but in the end, they fought back and killed 30,000 Hun cavalry.
But he would never admit that Bai Qi was much more powerful than himself. The general snorted, "The First Khan of the Huns, is it really impossible for him to come in?"
"He has a full 120,000 cavalry!"
The soldiers around were also curious. They all wanted to know why the First Khan of the Huns reacted so strongly.
However, Bai Qi looked at the generals with an idiotic look and said, "If an ordinary soldier asked this question, I think it is reasonable."
"After all, people like Erniu and Dazhuang don't understand the art of war."
"But you are a general of ten thousand armies, don't you really understand?"
"You said that the Huns are cavalry, how can they attack the city? Without a suspension bridge, can they fly in?"
"The Huns don't bring siege equipment or ladders. Even if they have a million troops, they can only stare blankly!"
"This is the importance of the city. Otherwise, why spend so much manpower and resources to build the city wall? Idiot!"
The idiot cursed.
"So that's how it is. The Huns can't get over!"
"Lord Bai Qi, you're so awesome."
"No wonder they say you need to read more if you want to lead troops in battle."
The soldiers looked at Bai Qi with more respect, and looked at the general with more contempt.
Wanrenjiang was in a state of dismay at this moment, and his body collapsed directly to the ground. He was finished, and he would definitely die after this battle.
Besides, no one could blame Bai Qi.
Because they would annihilate all 30,000 elite Hun soldiers, which would be such a great achievement, and no matter how outrageous Bai Qi did, Yang Wudi could protect him.
Bai Qi was too lazy to look at the tens of thousands of generals, so he ordered the soldiers: "Pass my order: all soldiers, do your best to encircle and kill the Hun cavalry."
"Order the soldiers not to lead a head-on charge against the Hun cavalry, hide in houses, street corners, alleys, and attack with cold arrows!"
"Also, send a message to the whole city that civilians with good archery skills can also participate in encircling and killing the Hun cavalry."
"Anyone who kills a Hun cavalry, whether it is a soldier or a civilian, will be rewarded with a war horse!"
With the blessing of his inner strength, Bai Qi's voice was like a huge bell, and soon, the exciting news spread to every corner of Honghua City.
In an instant, the people of Honghua City went crazy.
In the border town, basically all men know how to shoot arrows. If you shoot and kill a Hun cavalryman, you can get a war horse. This reward is simply too generous.
A fine warhorse from the Huns could buy ten acres of land!
"Kill the Huns and get war horses!"
The people shouted excitedly. In their eyes, the once extremely ferocious Huns were now just moving fields.
"Ten acres, ten acres!"
Every citizen was muttering in his heart.
The Hun cavalry then experienced the most horrific nightmare in their lives.
Because they would be shot at from all directions, and they had no way to defend themselves.
When many Huns died, they didn't know exactly which direction the arrows shot from.
Yang Paifeng stared at the scene blankly. He never thought that the Huns were so vulnerable.
Bai Qi laughed, "This is the power of the masses!"
As he said that, he also picked up the bow and arrow and joined the ranks of shooting the Huns. It would be a waste not to kill them! [Congratulations to
the host for successfully killing an ordinary enemy, experience value +10]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully killing an ordinary enemy, experience value +10]
....
Listening to the wonderful system voices one after another, Bai Qi's mouth curled up into a smile.
After this battle, can I be crowned a marquis and become a defeated general?
At this moment, the general's eyes had already been distracted. He was like a fool, muttering: "Impossible, impossible!"
Yang Paifeng stood behind Bai Qi, carrying the quiver for Bai Qi. When Bai Qi had shot a bucket of arrows, Yang Paifeng immediately handed him the quiver full of arrows.
Just like a good wife.
The shy youngster standing by was filled with envy.
But at this moment he did not look jealous. Instead, he felt that beauty and heroes were the right thing to do in the world!
