Chapter 13 The High Priest of the Huns

Wei Qing looked back at Zhang Yuan and asked with some puzzlement.

"We should quickly get rid of the Huns here, you must know that it has been two days since we left Yanmen County.

In case of an accident in Mayi County, it will be too late to rush back. ”

Wei Qing still wanted to go back to Yanmen to intercept the remnants of the Huns' deserters, but now he seemed a little impatient.

Zhang Yuan thought about it, and then endured his thoughts.

"Okay, let's kill them all.

But the old man thinks it's better to take it back. ”

Wei Qing nodded and ordered to the soldiers of the Futures Gate Army around him.

"Except for the Hun old man led by the middle, all the rest were killed."

Xue Ren let out a strange cry as a Hun and rushed over with a ring-headed sword.

Some Hun women also rushed towards the soldiers of the period gate army with weapons in their hands, and some women were even struggling to the death and injured some of the soldiers of the period gate army.

The rest of the Huns finally formed a circle, the innermost is the old man, the old man is surrounded by Hun children, the oldest looks like he is only seven or eight years old, and the older one has lost his life because of the battle with the soldiers of the Qimen Army with weapons before.

The high priest of the Xiongnu had never seen the Xiongnu slaughtered by the Han since he was born, and the experience of this night made his inner world always on the verge of collapse.

He couldn't stop reciting some prayer words in his mouth, hoping that the Kunlun god, who had been protecting the Huns, would appear to save them.

But perhaps their god was too far away from here, and the high priest's prayer did not work, and the women on the periphery were soon killed by the soldiers of the Tempo.

More than 2,000 soldiers of the Han army, covered in blood, walked slowly towards those Hun children.

Some of the sergeants were a little unbearable.

Seeing that the soldiers' pace became slow, Wei Qing immediately shouted loudly.

"Don't be soft-hearted, think that these Huns will be able to take weapons and go to the territory of the Han to slaughter our people in a few years, and think about the humiliation we have suffered for many years, and this battle will cut off the grass and roots."

Tonight, Wei Qing was too cold-blooded, and he didn't look like he was gentle at all.

Everyone knew that what Wei Qing said was the truth, and one by one's hearts became hardened and began to want to do it.

When the high priest saw that the butcher's knife was to be waved over the children, he stopped praying, and suddenly rose from the ground, and compared to the screaming children around him, the high priest was like a giant.

"Letting these children go and capturing me alive will give you more credit than killing them."

Wei Qing remembered what Zhang Yuan said before, and immediately waved his hand to signal that all the soldiers of the army stopped.

Then Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan rode to the front, looking at the old Hun man whose face was full of wrinkles, and his beard was very vigorous but had turned gray.

"What is your identity, more important than a thousand Hun heads?

The Huns have been in charge of the tribe since the twenty-four generals, and many of them are more than 100,000 horsemen under the command of the Xiongnu Dadan under the command of the military ministers, and the few are 1,000 horses.

This general has come from Longcheng, looking at the fact that there are less than 1,000 war horses in your tribe, and there are only three or four thousand people who can fight. ”

This high priest of the Xiongnu didn't expect the general of the Han State in front of him to know so much about the Xiongnu military system, but now these are not important.

"What the general said is true, but the general never thought that I could be in charge of a clan with my old body, and I could graze cattle inside and outside Dragon City, how could a little Qianchang be compared."

A flash of light flashed in Wei Qing's eyes, and he asked the old man.

"Tell me, who are you?"

The high priest of the Huns straightened his waist and said to Wei Qing.

"I am the high priest of the Huns, and the general said that if I am captured alive by you and return to the Han Kingdom, will I get more credit than you carrying the heads of more than a thousand Hun children."

Wei Qing Zhang Yuan was overjoyed after hearing this, but he didn't expect to catch a big guy on this trip.

Zhang Yuan didn't know what the status of the high priest was among the Huns, but he also knew that in ancient times, the status of these fools was absolutely impossible to be low.

"Okay, General Ben promised you not to kill these children, but you have to be obedient."

The high priest of the Huns nodded and stepped out from among the children.

"I know how to do it."

After picking up the big fish, Wei Qing didn't care about the children of the Huns, in his opinion, it didn't matter whether he killed these children or not.

Besides, it is still two to say whether these children can survive in the future, the surrounding area is shrouded in fire, and the grassland is full of wolves, and Wei Qing has no intention of leaving food for these Huns.

"Li Jian, lead people to drive away all the cattle and sheep that are still alive here, and throw all the dead into the fire and burn them to ashes."

After Wei Qing asked the high priest of the Huns to be guarded, he said to Li Jian.

"Whoa."

Li Jian clenched his fists and promised, and went down to clean up the battlefield.

Zhang Yuan accompanied Wei Qing to wait for the army to clean up the battlefield outside Dragon City, and his heart throbbed for a while.

"General, since you asked Li Jian to bring all the cattle and sheep, I don't think I will go deep into the grassland to go to the Xiongnu court in Wolf Juxu Mountain."

Wei Qing nodded and said.

"Yanmen County has always reassured me, and I can't joke with the lives of the soldiers.

The number of our army is too small, not to mention that when encountering the main army of the Huns, it is a tribe under the jurisdiction of a Hun general who has no strength to fight.

The heads of 4,000 Hun thieves have been captured in this trip, and our battle losses are less than 100, which is enough to make the rest of the army bow their heads. ”

The high priest of the Huns on the side heard that Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan had even beaten their minds to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, which was two thousand miles away, and his perception of the Han army had completely changed.

Zhang Yuan heard what Wei Qing said and didn't think about the things that day, and now he can return to Chang'an safely and lie at home with peace of mind.

"I don't think let's go back directly from Yanmen County, let's take a more detour from the direction of Daijun."

Wei Qing nodded, he didn't want to continue fighting in the future.

"Well, as you say, taking these sheep and cattle and the extra horses with you will slow us down.

If on the way back, if you encounter the Hun cavalry who escaped from Mayi, it will be a little troublesome. ”

Hearing this, the high priest of the Huns subconsciously asked Wei Qing.

"You just said that my Xiongnu army that went to Mayi in Yanmen County would flee back?"

Zhang Yuan glanced at Wei Qing, and Wei Qing immediately understood.

"Now, General Ben will let you live a little more clearly.

The trap set by my Han over there is Ma Yi, just waiting for you Huns to jump into it.

I'm afraid that the military minister will not come back here. ”
