Chapter 898: Failed Mission
As soon as the hands of more than a dozen Hun soldiers pressed on the hilt of their swords, more than a dozen dragoons who had already approached jumped towards them.
The dragoons who jumped to the side of the Huns did not draw their weapons, and when they rushed to the side of the more than a dozen Huns, they stretched out their arms one after another and cleanly knocked their selected Huns to the ground.
I didn't expect that the Hun soldiers who were all enemies nearby, and they didn't know what happened when they were knocked down.
Among them, there are also two people with bright brains, who have just been knocked down, and they want to open their mouths to call for help.
If ordinary soldiers were dealing with them, they would have already shouted, but the speed of the dragoons was faster than the speed at which they shouted.
As soon as one of the Huns opened his mouth, before the sound could come out of his vocal cords, one hand grabbed his hair, and then the other hand pinched his chin from behind and twisted it violently.
With more than ten "click" crisp sounds, all the Hun soldiers who were knocked to the ground quieted down, lying on the ground one by one, and did not even move.
After solving these more than a dozen Hun soldiers, the dragoon guards who did it were not idle, and they didn't need to be greeted at all, so they dragged the corpses of the Huns one after another and went outside the barracks.
Deng Zhan, who was standing outside the king's tent, witnessed the scene of the dragoon guards dealing with the Huns.
The dragoon guards were very quick to move, and there was no movement at all, but Deng Zhan still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
In the Huns' barracks, many Hun soldiers spoke the Hun dialect, but Deng Zhan and the dragoon guards did not understand the Hun language at all.
At present, if they encounter the disturbance of the Huns, they can still solve the other party, but once the Hun army returns, if they are found to be abnormal, I am afraid it will not be so easy to leave.
When he returned to the barracks, he must ask the Huns who stayed in the barracks if there was anything wrong, thinking of this, Deng Zhan's brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little more uncertain about the plan to change in a hurry.
"General, the Huns are back!" Deng Zhan was thinking about how to plan next, when Huang Sheng leaned into his ear and whispered.
Turning his head to look in the direction of the garrison of King Liking of Zuogu, Deng Zhan really saw a torch like a sea of flames, which was moving quickly towards the military camp.
From a distance, the Hun cavalry holding torches is like a sea of flames, as the Hun cavalry approaches, the loud sound like thunder is becoming clearer and clearer.
Looking at the Hun cavalry who were rushing towards the barracks, Deng Zhan held the hilt of his sword in his hand, and beads of sweat appeared in his palm.
"Withdraw!" Looking at the Hun cavalry that was getting closer and closer, Deng Zhan finally said a word that he had never been willing to say.
Hearing this, Huang Sheng on the side looked at Deng Zhan in amazement, his face full of doubts.
"Today is a wake-up call for Qubei, let people set a fire, and know that his head is in our hands at any time!" Without giving Huang Sheng much explanation, Deng Zhan waved to him and ran towards the outside of the Xiongnu military camp first.
Deng Zhan gave the order to withdraw, and Huang Sheng did not dare to disobey, beckoned to the dragoon guards in the barracks, followed Deng Zhan, and ran towards the outside of the barracks.
Before leaving the barracks, the last few dragoons chose a place upwind, took out their fires, and lit several tents respectively.
The dry tent, when it met the flames, instantly burst into flames.
The burning flames fluttered in the wind and spread quickly towards the other tents, but in a matter of moments, the Hun camp was ablaze.
Riding a war horse to the front, he was full of pride.
The surprise attack launched at night, the king of Zuogu Li did not take any precautions, this battle did not take much time at all, and the army of Qubei completely defeated the army of the king of Zuogu Li.
led the army to victory in this battle, and was about to return to the barracks to reward the three armies, but a fire suddenly broke out in the barracks.
Although it was not too far from the barracks, it was still four or five hundred steps to get to the place.
Seeing the fire in the barracks, Qubei's heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted to several Hun generals beside him: "The barracks have been robbed, quickly lead the army to the rescue!" ”
Several Hun generals got the order, did not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly led their soldiers and horses, one step ahead of the army, and galloped towards the military camp.
The dragoons who set the fire were already following Deng Zhan and the main force of the dragoons when the Huns were speeding up and rushing towards the barracks, jumping into the vast night.
Leading the Hun cavalry, several Hun generals rushed into the barracks that was burning with blazing fire.
Originally, they planned to engage with the enemy troops who robbed the camp, but when they entered the barracks, they found that in addition to the raging fire and the soldiers who stayed behind from other parts of the barracks to fight the fire, there was still half of the enemy's stock!
Riding on horseback, they searched around the burning barracks, but found no trace of the enemy, and several Hun generals who were ordered to return first were all stunned, not knowing what their opponents wanted to do.
Just when these Hun generals were at a loss, Qubei had already led the army back to the barracks.
Many Hun soldiers jumped off their horses and ran towards the flames, participating in the firefighting.
The Hun generals who were ordered to gallop to the aid of the barracks, saw that they had entered the camp and hurriedly rode horses to meet them.
"King!" Before he arrived, a Hun general carried the reins and said to him: "There are no enemy troops in the barracks, and I think I have already run away!" ”
The number of dragoons was small, and when they left, they were far away from the army of Qubei, so they did not find their traces.
As soon as I entered the barracks, I felt that something was wrong with the situation.
If there was an enemy in the barracks, the Huns who returned first would have already fought with the enemy, but there was no sign of a fight in the barracks except for the Huns who were running to fight the fire.
The weather was dry, and the wind in the wilderness was fierce, and after the flames burned, the flames devoured one tent after another, and soon the whole barracks were ablaze.
There were also many Huns fighting the fire, they shouted, and beat the flames with their clothes, but there was a lack of water, and the efforts of the Huns were so pale in the flames.
The fire burned more and more fiercely, and the Huns who put out the fire shouted and beat the burning flames, and many of the clothes that the Huns used to whip the flames were also burned.
Shaking the burning clothes, the Huns fought hard to beat the flames, and they all seemed to be juggling with the flames, which made this Hun camp a little more funny when it was tense.
Leading the dragoon guards and leaving the Huns' barracks, Deng Zhan went to the place where they tied up their horses, untied the reins of their mounts, turned over and rode on horseback, and rode their horses in the direction of the earlier garrison of King Ligu of Zuogu.
More than 500 dragoon guards, at this time no longer hidden, they have found the war horse, with the strength of the war horse of the Great Qin army, even the Huns growing on horseback, so far away, it is impossible to catch up with them.
The Hun military camp in the distance was still burning with raging fires.
Although the distance was great, the fire was dark in the surrounding wilderness.
In the darkness, hundreds of fast horses galloped like black ink lightning at a gallop to the place where Beifang had just fought with the king of Zuoguli.
The place where the king of Zuogu Liwang garrisoned was not very far from the military camp of Qubei.
The war horses of the Qin army are all high-quality horses specially purchased from the north by Liu Wei's people, and the war horses of the dragon cavalry guard are the best in the entire sequence of the Qin army.
Riding on horseback, he didn't gallop for long, Deng Zhan and the dragoon guards behind him smelled a strong scorching smell.
Where the smell of scorching was wafting, there were still scorching flames, and it was evident that a large fire had burned in the sky during the battle here.
In the vast wilderness, under the blowing of the wind, it is extremely difficult for the smell to drift far away without fading.
It was still far away from that place, and Deng Zhan and the others could smell such a strong stench, which could only show that there were so many corpses burned by the fire that they couldn't imagine.
Riding a war horse and facing the smell wafting in, Deng Zhan took the lead in running towards the place where the stars were still burning.
The closer you get to the place, the stronger the stench of burning corpses becomes.
Many of the Dragoon Guards raised their arms and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves so as not to inhale too much corpse stench and make it difficult for their bodies to adapt.
The wilderness burned by the flames, the ground was charred black, and on the charred ground, there were countless bulging piles of charred black drums.
The drum piles were low, and they didn't look like anything on the ground.
Before he reached the vicinity of those drum piles, Deng Zhan had already seen that those were all corpses that had been scorched by the fire after being killed in battle.
Some of the corpses still had curling green smoke, but in the dark of the night, the smoke did not appear cyan, but the same black ink color as the corpses.
Seeing that those were corpses, Deng Zhan covered his mouth and nose with one arm, but his brows were tightly locked.
Looking up into the distance, in the night, as far as his eye could see, there were corpses charred by the flames.
In the battle of Fang Bei's army to raid the king of Zuogu Li, it can be seen from the remaining battlefield that the army of the king of Zuogu must have suffered great losses.
"It's miserable!" Riding a war horse, following behind Deng Zhan, stepping into this land that had just ended the battle not long ago, Huang Sheng, who was covering his mouth and nose, sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Born as a dragoon, he has witnessed such a tragic battle, and the reason why Huang Sheng has this kind of sigh is that he has never seen a battlefield like what he saw, and it will be covered with charred corpses everywhere like what he saw in front of him.
"I'm afraid that King Zuogu Lili will be defeated very badly!" Looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him, Deng Zhan frowned and said to Huang Sheng: "If they don't have the ability to continue to fight with Qubei, if they want to kill Qubei, there will be many more twists and turns!" ”
