Seeing the desperate look on the face of the high priest of the Huns, Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan felt a pleasure similar to changing in their hearts.

Being able to see despair on the faces of the Huns is the goal that the Han people have been working for.

Soon, Li Jian had already driven out all the living war horses, cattle and sheep in Dragon City.

There are almost 1,000 war horses, and there are more than 20,000 cattle and sheep combined, which can be said to be a bumper harvest.

Completely ignoring that the sky was still pitch black, Wei Qing immediately ordered the whole army to go south directly, detouring back to Yanmen County from Daijun.

The whole army had already rested during the day, so they didn't care whether they were rushing in the night.

The fire in Longcheng burned from night to dawn the next day, and those Hun children had been hiding by the side of the loess rammed city wall so that they were not burned by the spreading fire.

However, the face, which was not very clean in the first place, turned completely black now.

Many of the children had cried for an hour or two without tears, and everyone was desperately short of water under the roasting of the fire, but they were children who had grown up on the grassland, and they knew that there were more terrible creatures outside Dragon City, so they had been patient and did not dare to go out.

When it was completely dark, a Hun boy stood up and said to the children around him.

"The high priest has been taken away by the Han Chinese, and our father and mother have also been killed.

If we want to survive, we must find other Xiongnu tribes and get help from others in order to grow up and avenge the dead.

Now all we have to do is go to the river outside Dragon City, or we will die of thirst before we starve to death. ”

At this time, there was someone who stood up to lead everyone, so that this group of children suddenly had a backbone, and they followed the boy who had just spoken out of the scope of Dragon City.

The boy led the way at the front, with a very sharp wolf tooth hanging from his neck, which was given to the Xiongnu boy by the high priest of the Huns when he decided to go with the Qimen army.

This wolf tooth pendant is the evidence of the high priest's lineage, and with this thing, this boy is the next high priest of the Huns.

The boy led more than 1,000 children to the river, drank the river water in large gulps, and some of the children even jumped into the river water in the early spring and began to laugh and play.

At this moment, it was as if they had all forgotten the pain of last night.

After drinking the water, the boy led the group back to Dragon City, where they had to find something useful and food.

Otherwise, the grassland is so big, sooner or later they will all be buried in the wolf's belly.

The bronze and iron weapons of the Huns who were backward and could not be left behind anymore were not wanted by the Qimen army, and many of them were still held by the dead Huns.

Those who were not held in their hands were scattered on the ground, but there was always an ash with a person's surname next to it.

From morning to noon, the children collected all the useful things they could collect, and really found something to eat, and some of the dead cattle and sheep were not thrown into the fire, and the children also picked up all the meat.

"Gesang, we're all starving, let's light a fire and barbecue meat."

The boy's name was good, and he was called Gesang.

He thought about it, then nodded.

While these children were feasting and eating meat, the military ministers led nearly 90,000 Xiongnu troops to the vicinity of Longcheng.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the earth shook again, and the children, thinking of the nightmarish experience of the previous night, found a place to hide.

"Gesang, you said it wouldn't be those Han people coming back, right?"

A little Xiongnu girl was too scared and asked Gesang timidly.

At this time, Gesang showed a steady maturity far beyond his age, touched the little girl's head and said.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

In fact, Gesang was also very scared in his heart, but he tried hard not to show the fear in his heart.

Before leaving, the high priest of the Huns said to Gesang that the high priest is the soul of the Huns, and he must be strong at any time and place.

After the military minister led his army to about three miles of Dragon City, he saw that Dragon City had turned pitch black.

The loess city wall also turned black due to the scorching fire, and there was no living Huns around.

"Huyanmo, lead a team of cavalry in and see what's going on."

As soon as the military minister gave an order, a general came out of the Hun cavalry and led dozens of horsemen to Longcheng.

This Huyanmo belongs to the high priest's lineage, but when he became an adult, he made a ditch under the hands of the military ministers, and he was also very anxious to see Longcheng become like this.

The distance of three miles was under the cavalry rush, and it was there in an instant.

After dozens of Huns entered Dragon City, all they saw was a ruined scene of black smoke and dead corpses in one place.

The men had all been decapitated, and the women were left intact.

When Hu Yanmo saw this scene, he howled almost madly.

Grief spread from Huyanmo to the other Hun cavalry.

These dozens of horsemen are also warriors who came out of this tribe.

The Hun children who were hiding in the shadows, seeing that it was not a Han Chinese, but someone they were familiar with, ran out of the hiding place regardless of Gesang's warning before.

"Uncle Huyanmo."

A cry rose again, and more and more children ran out and gathered around Huyanmo's dozens of Hun cavalry.

Gesang couldn't help but hug Huyanmo's thighs and cry, and the previous strength had dissipated at this time.

"Tell my uncle, what happened?"

Huyan Mo asked Gesang with red eyes, because he had already seen the wolf tooth pendant hanging around Gesang's neck.

"Last night, a Han cavalry attacked our tribe, the adults were killed, and the high priest grandfather was captured.

We're all left of our tribe, woooooooooo

Gesang whimpered and told Huyanmo everything that had happened last night.

Hu Yanmo's eyes were bloodshot, and the green tendons around the temples on his neck also burst out.

"Don't say it, Da Shan Yu is outside Dragon City now, I'll take you to see Da Shan Yu.

Uncle has good news for you, Da Dan Yu has gathered all the tribes of the Xiongnu, and we will attack the Han people by next year at the latest.

When the time comes, my uncle will definitely find the Han cavalry and avenge the dead clansmen. ”

Gesang grabbed Huyanmo's shirt and wiped his tears, then nodded heavily, this child has now made revenge his goal in this life.

The Huns naturally believed that they should kill others, and that others in turn killed them should not be, and the predatory nature of the nomads was revealed in the Huns.
