Chapter 606: Anxi Attack and Defense (4)
Just when Luo Shiqing and Nangong Yuan were sitting on the top of the city tower, admiring Nangong Yuan's masterpiece with "relish", the entire Hun camp was already in dire straits at this moment.
Maudun never imagined that his military camp was so heavily guarded, and the army knew that it was absolutely impossible to cause a fire.
In Mao Dun's opinion, although those Wei people had the upper hand in today's battle, they didn't have the courage to run out and steal the camp or something, where could their legs outrun the four hooves of a war horse? When they go out of the city, they are looking for their own death.
With Mao Dun's grasp of people's hearts, those Wei people would never do such a bold thing, which is why Mao Dun dared to build a large camp here, but he never thought that when his army fell asleep, it would cause a fire.
Maudun didn't think that this was released by their own people, it was simply impossible, every Hun knew how precious grain and grass were to them, and in order to feed their cattle and sheep, they carried a lot of hay in the army.
After Mao Dun came out of the big tent in a panic, he found that the entire camp had turned into a sea of fire at this moment, so the soldiers were fighting the fire at this time, but ......
"Let's go and see the grain and grass ......"
Hearing Maudun's words, the guard next to him ran out, but soon he ran over.
"Da Danyu, the entire camp is already on fire at the moment, and those Wei people don't know what method they used, their fire is too big, and it can't be extinguished at all with manpower."
The guard's words made Mao Dun's heart sink to the bottom, and he looked at his guard blankly, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.
"Da Shan Yu, this fire is very strange, now that the matter has come to this, the subordinates feel that Da Shan Yu should abandon the camp first, and wait for tomorrow to come back to find the Wei people for revenge. If I hesitate any longer, I'm afraid it will be really bad......"
Listening to his guard's words, his lips were already crooked, and he never thought that his guard would say such a thing at this time.
Abandoned camp? Is this a big thing for him to do? However, the fire is so big now, and I don't know what kind of magic those Wei people used, this fire burned without any warning at all, and now let him abandon the camp or something, this is simply impossible.
If he abandoned the camp now, then those Wei people in Anxi City still don't know what they will think of him.
This is his camp, if he abandons the camp and flees now, then all the things in this entire camp will be destroyed, all these things are all the things they got in the territory of Wei during this time, if they all turn into ashes like this......
Thinking that everything he had done during this time was about to turn into ashes, Mao Dun's heart was already starting to throb. If this had happened before, Mao Dun would never have felt anything else in his heart, and the loss would be a loss.
But now...... Now that they have lost tens of thousands of horses, it is just that they did not take this Anxi City, and they have burned everything they have gotten clean, how can Maudun endure it?
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, when they were on the grassland, although he was said to be a big single Yu, he was a top nobleman, but their life was really not as comfortable as the Wei people, and they had to drink blood every day, and they felt uncomfortable when they thought about it.
And now they finally have such a good opportunity, they can enjoy their lives and improve their living conditions, but all this is only in front of him for a while and then disappears, so that he doesn't even have a chance to seize it, how can he be willing?
Mao Dun was about to go crazy at this moment, he never thought that the attack methods of these Wei people would be so superb, he didn't understand how these Wei people attacked, and the entire camp fell into a sea of fire.
The only thing they could do now was to salvage everything that wasn't already on fire, and then flee the camp with them, or else they would have to turn to ashes along with the things that were already on fire.
Maudun knew that this was the most advantageous way, but ...... He is very unwilling in his heart, the things he has worked so hard to get, and now he has given them up, and these things are all exchanged by his tribes with their own blood, okay, if they are all abandoned like this, how can he be worthy of those soldiers who have died in battle?
"Come on, hurry up and put out the fire, be sure to save everything, go, release all those Wei captives, let them put out the fire, this king doesn't care, if there is anything wrong with the grain and grass, this king will kill all those Wei people......"
Listening to Mao Dun's roar, the people around him naturally knew that it was very inappropriate to do this, but there was no way, the military order was like a mountain, and if they were big enough, it would be providential, and if they didn't give the order obediently, their heads would have to move from the top of their necks in a while.
Thinking about this, no one dares to hesitate at the moment, the situation has reached such a critical time, if they don't take decisive measures, then they will really be all finished.
Seeing the people around him rushing into the fire one by one, Mao Dun was relieved, thought for a while, or hurriedly rushed into his tent, and then sorted out his clothes, and then let people pack up all his equipment, gold and silver treasures.
When Mao Dun came out of the big tent again, the patriarchs of other tribes had already run to him at this time, looking at the tribal patriarchs blankly, Mao Dun felt that his whole body was about to explode.
These people obviously want to come to him to settle accounts, but they don't look at it, is this time to ask the master to ask for sin? Things have come to this point, even if they come to question him again, it will be useless, okay, the top priority now is to quickly take away all the things that are not on fire, otherwise, even if they want to, they can't leave.
"Da Danyu, the matter has come to this, let's retreat now, don't the Wei people have a good saying, take a step back and open the sky, now the entire camp is on fire, let's leave here first, otherwise if those Wei people rush out of the city, we don't have the strength to fight."
Although Mao Dun was very reluctant to admit it in his heart, he also knew that what these people said was not wrong, and it was best for them to leave here as quickly as possible now, and then make plans, otherwise, even if his Hun family had a big business, he would not be able to bear that kind of consequences.
In the end, Mao Dun still made a difficult decision, take everything that could be taken away, as for the things that could not be taken away, then it was better to stay here, and he couldn't put his soldiers in danger for the sake of those dead things, right?
"Ordered the whole army to retreat......"
After giving this order, Mao Dun's whole person seemed to be more than ten years old, and if the guards around him helped him, I am afraid that he would have to sit on the ground.
After so many years of hard work, it's a pity that once he was careless, all his efforts were in vain, how could Mao Dun accept it?
Of course, Maudun would not have accepted such a reality like this, but what could be done? The reality is undoubtedly very cruel, and he can't afford to take the liberty of not accepting it.
It's just that Mao Dun didn't know at this time that behind this fire, the initiator of the fire was sitting high on the top of the city tower, holding the beautiful woman in his arms, enjoying the wine and food, while watching the embarrassed demeanor of their Huns at the moment.
Moreover, there are some crises lurking in their camp at the moment, and all of this is something that Mao Dun himself is not prepared against.
Above the city tower, Nangong Yuan looked at Luo Shiqing with a smile on his face, and drank a little wine from time to time, not to mention how carefree he looked, and Luo Shiqing looked at Nangong Yuan's demeanor, and her heart was already full of admiration.
She guessed that Nangong Yuan must be addicted to playing with fire, otherwise, how could he have set such a fire at this time? Moreover, Luo Shiqing felt that Nangong Yuan must have been premeditated.
Otherwise, how could ordinary people think of setting fire to something like white phosphorus? There are too many problems that need to be taken into account, especially the arrows that need to be sent to the camp of the Huns, which is not an ordinary distance, and Nangong Yuan did it easily......
"Isn't the lady thinking, this king has such a killing weapon, why has he never used it?"
Nangong Yuan suddenly came up with such words, which made Luo Shiqing a little puzzled, and she didn't understand what Nangong Yuan wanted to do when she said such a thing at this time, but after thinking about it for a while, Luo Shiqing felt that it was not a big deal, since he was willing to explain it to her, let him talk about it.
"Actually, if you can, this king really doesn't want to do this, but ...... Lady, you also know that there are still a lot of Wei people in the Hun camp, if this king rashly set fire, those Huns are angry, and kill all those Wei people, it will not be good.
But now this king is also forced by them to have no choice, if the Huns' grain and grass are not burned, then we can get the final victory against the Huns, but we will pay a heavy price, this is not what this king wants to see. ”
Hearing Nangong Yuan's words, Luo Shiqing naturally could understand a little Nangong Yuan's concerns, to be honest, Luo Shiqing didn't think that what Nangong Yuan did today was wrong, they were now responsible for so many people in Anxi City, and they were also responsible for so many people in Wei State......
Besides, if the fire goes down tonight, those Huns will inevitably suffer heavy losses, casualties are secondary, the main thing is their grain and grass, there is a lot of hay in the Huns' camp, these things are used by them to feed their cattle and sheep, if those cattle and sheep lack forage......
Luo Shiqing wouldn't care about the screams of the Huns or something, if they were willing to stay on the grassland obediently, how could there be such a situation now? Therefore, all of this is caused by the Huns, and if it has nothing to do with them at all, if people have to come to die, they can't stop others, right? In any case, this matter is the fault of the Huns first, and since they have made a mistake, they will have to pay a heavy price.
