Chapter 12 Sneak attack on the Dragon City Huns

Because it was spring, the sun was setting just too west.

The bright moon appeared in the sky in place of the sun, and the sparkling starlight was as soft as the light of water.

But none of the 2,500 soldiers of the Men Army were in the mood to see this beautiful scenery.

At this time, Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan were still waiting, and when the light around the ruined earth city in the distance gradually disappeared, Wei Qing looked at Zhang Yuan.

"It's time."

Zhang Yuan nodded and said to Wei Qing.

"Set fire to the tent first, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill the Huns."

Wei Qing nodded firmly, then turned his head to the back, and said very seriously to the soldiers of the Qimen Army.

"We don't need mercy on this trip, whether we are old or young, women and children, as long as we see all the slaughter.

After rushing in and setting fire to it later, kill the Hun men first, and then kill the Hun women and children. ”

When the words fell, no one from the Qimen army responded, but Wei Qing knew that everyone had already understood.

Zhang Yuan was the only one who felt a little cruel, but after thinking that the Xiongnu and the Han were ethnic hatreds, there was no possibility of peace at all, so he was relieved.

"Soldiers rush with me!"

The hooves of the two thousand five hundred war horses were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and the sound of running was much quieter, but the keen Huns could still sense the faint trembling of the earth.

The High Priest clan was stationed in Longcheng, who had been grazing on the pastures around Longcheng for generations, and because this group was subordinate to the Xiongnu Dadanyu lineage, most of the young and middle-aged people in the tribe joined the army of military ministers.

At present, nearly eighty percent of the women and children in Dragon City are old and young, and the other two percent are men in the prime of life.

Some of the Huns could not see anything on the pitch-black grassland after hearing the noise, so they could only run to the high priest's tent to inquire.

"High priest, the ground seems to tremble."

The high priest could be said to be the oldest old man in the Huns, and he also felt the ground tremble, so he walked out of the camp step by step with a cane.

Seeing the nearly 100 people around him who were a little flustered, the high priest's face was very calm.

"You don't have to panic, yesterday Da Shan Yu led more than 100,000 troops to the Han land to fight, thinking that there must have been a lot of gains, and the army has been withdrawn and passed near Longcheng.

Everyone go and rest in peace, no one on this grassland can threaten us. ”

The Huns trusted the High Priest more than they did in Da Danyu, as they felt that the High Priest was the only one in the Huns who could talk to the gods.

Even if the gods had to do their death, it was right.

With a few simple words, the high priest completely soothed the restless hearts of the people, and everyone immediately scattered and went back to their respective homes to rest.

The High Priest looked at the darkness around him that seemed to be able to swallow everything, and showed a hint of suspicion, but he didn't think much about it before retreating.

In fact, this kind of noise is often seen in the grasslands, and in the daytime, wild horses will rush over the grasslands.

At first, the high priest thought that it was the wild horses that had not forgotten the Hun cavalry at all, and the reason why he said so was just to increase the prestige of the military ministers by the way.

Because of the negligence of the Huns, Wei Qing led the army to the edge of Dragon City quickly, and when he saw that there was still no reaction inside, he laughed and roared.

"The soldiers will follow me to kill all this group of Huns."

It was only at this time that the soldiers of the Period Gate Army began to make sounds, and the shouts of killing filled the entire Dragon City at once.

Li Jian, Xue Ren, and Wang Tong respectively took their own songs, and after entering the Dragon City, they went straight to the north, south, and east.

The Qimen army not only brought the necessary grain and grass on the road from Yanmen, but also brought a lot of fire oil, which basically accounted for half of the burden of the whole army.

A large amount of oil was poured on top of the tents of the Huns, and the charcoal fire, which had been kept in bamboo tubes, was thrown out of the hands of the soldiers of the period.

Immediately the fire spread, and at the same time a large number of Huns ran out of the tents, most of whom did not know what was happening.

When a Hun saw clearly the armor worn by the soldiers of the Qimen Army by the light of the fire, he immediately understood in his heart.

"Oh no, it's Han cavalry, everyone quickly pick up weapons, ah...."

Before the Huns could finish their words, they were killed by a sergeant who ran over to him.

The chaotic scene aroused the ferocity in Wei Qing's heart, and he glanced at Zhang Yuan before speaking.

"Brother Yuan, little brother, I'll go down to kill the enemy, you have to protect yourself."

Zhang Yuan patted his chest with a smile and said to Wei Qing.

"Don't worry, I can protect myself."

Wei Qing nodded, and rushed into the Dragon City with a wave of his horsewhip.

Seeing that Wei Qing was already far away, Zhang Yuan saw the scene in Dragon City, and also had the idea of wanting to enter the city to kill the enemy.

He touched the crossbow tied to his wrist, smiled lightly, and then went to a higher place in Dragon City.

In fact, Zhang Yuan didn't have to worry about his own safety, Wei Qing directly arranged dozens of soldiers to protect Zhang Yuan around him in order to keep Zhang Yuan from being harmed.

One by one, these soldiers are also eager to be able to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but the military order cannot be violated, and they must fulfill the tasks assigned to them by Wei Qing.

Zhang Yuan's entry into Longcheng can be said to be in line with the wishes of these soldiers, and one by one he drew out the ring head knife and began to clean up the Huns who rushed to Zhang Yuan's surroundings.

Zhang Yuan also fiddled with the crossbow on his arm, shooting crossbow arrows at the Huns who were running in the sea of fire.

Both sides have been fighting for a quarter of an hour, and the Qimen army, including Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan, still doesn't know that the leader of the tribe here is the high priest of the Huns.

But as time went by, Wei Qing gradually found that the remaining Huns were moving closer in one direction, so he led more than 2,000 soldiers of the Gate Army to gradually surround it.

Zhang Yuan, who was standing on a high place, saw more clearly, and there was no threat except for fire, almost all the elite men in this tribe were killed, and the remaining thousands of people were also women and children, Zhang Yuan went down from the high ground and rode to Wei Qing's side.

"General, are we going to do it?"

Xue Ren, a Houmen prince who grew up in a greenhouse, has also become a bloodthirsty and fierce military general at this moment.

Wei Qing was about to make a gesture of killing all, but Zhang Yuan quickly stopped him when he saw it.

"Wait."
