Chapter 57: Burning Plains (8000)

All the Huns were stunned when they saw the haystack that was burning with a raging fire! Even the little ones understand the importance of these haystacks to their tribe, and without these hay their cattle, sheep and horses would eat in winter? Without cattle and sheep, what would they eat? Even if the most vicious enemy of the steppe kills their tribe, at most they will kill their young and strong old men, and take away their women's goods, but these hayes will not move! Because they need these things too!

These hay on the grassland means a way to live, and it is their hope to survive the long winter, and now these hopes have been burned by the sudden Han people!

"Kunlun God! What the hell have we done that you have to punish us so cruelly! "An old Hun man knelt on the ground and looked up to the sky and roared, losing this hay, they had to wait for death! This year's weather is drier than in previous years, and there has not been a single snowflake in winter, so it can be expected that tomorrow's pasture will not be as fertile as in previous years, which is exactly the time when these hayes are needed to keep as many mares and ewes alive as possible, and to prepare for next year's breeding of lambs and ponies, and after these hayes are burned, their last hope is also broken.

The old man's cry was like heart-rending sorrow, but Xu Yannian was not affected in the slightest, when he was still in Yunzhong County, when the Huns snatched their last bit of grain and threw torches on their roofs, his father cried even more desolate than this Hun old man! But this did not arouse the sympathy of those Huns in the slightest, but directly cut off his head, and he still can't forget the way the Huns laughed.

He pulled out a new torch from behind him, turned sideways and swept over a blazing haystack, the torch was ignited at the slightest touch on the haystack, and at this time he happened to be in front of a new tent, Xu Yannian, like the Hun back then, mercilessly threw the torch on the tent, and then pulled out a third torch.

Before these Huns could react, Li You, Pan Feng and Tangyi's father had already run back and forth among the tribes with their respective deployments, all the haystacks and tents had been set on fire, and the fence surrounding the livestock had also been broken by Tangyi's father, and countless cattle, sheep and horses ran out in a hurry, adding to the chaos.

Looking around, Xu Yannian, who could no longer find a new target, put away the torch, drew his long sword and came to the front of the old Hun man; The old man opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't make any sound, and his eyes were full of despair and hatred.

He was so struck by the scene in front of him that he had no strength to resist, and helplessly pulled open his clothes, revealing his skinny chest, as if to say to Xu Yannian, if you want to do it, you should hurry up, anyway, our tribe is finished!

However, his appearance made Xu Yannian lose his desire for revenge, what he wanted was to kill powerful enemies cleanly on the battlefield, instead of aiming his long sword at this old man who was powerless to resist.

"Phew! It's too cheap to kill you like this! It's better to spare you a dog's life and let you watch your relatives freeze and starve to death one by one! Xu Yannian took a sip, put away his long sword and left silently!

His ignorance brought a greater blow to the old man of the Huns, and it was not a relief for him to die now, but the Han warrior in front of him didn't even bother to kill him! The thought of what a predicament the tribe would face this winter made him feel a deep sense of despair.

After a while, the old man slowly crawled to the nearest haystack with his hands on the ground, and the flames in his face scorched his hair, but he did not notice it, and when he reached the fire he struggled to his feet, and then threw himself into the fire with the last of his strength...... He chose to free himself.

"This is what happened to you when you sent someone to intercept my Han Mission! Those who offend me will be punished! Father Tang Yi shouted three times in a row in Xiongnu language, so that everyone in the tribe heard it before turning and leaving.

The Han people left with a long smile, and these Huns finally woke up from their shock! A few young men who had just grown beards on their lips picked up their scimitars and were about to turn over and chase after them.

"What are you going to do!" The elders of the tribe spread their arms in front of the horse's head, these were the only seeds of the tribe, and they could no longer be sent to death.

"I'm going to kill them and avenge the tribe!" The young Huns' eyes were red with hatred, and the green tendons of his right hand, which held the scimitar, flare.

"Now is not the time for revenge! Let's see what else we can get out of the fire! Will you kill them, our hay, our tents, and we will come back? This is the key to deciding whether their tribe will survive this winter with 20% or 1 adult, "Go and chase back those cattle, sheep and horses that have been scattered!" ”

The elder's words were like a scoop of cold water poured on their heads, and the anger instantly turned into great horror, yes, without these things, there is no hope for their tribe......

The Xiongnu camp was filled with desperate wails while the Han soldiers laughed loudly, and the operation went so smoothly that they threw each other into a desperate situation without even engaging a single Hun. None of the more than 70 soldiers were injured, and even the torches were only one-third!

"Hahahaha!" Xu Yannian laughed out loud with tears in his eyes, father, mother, son avenged you today! It also gave these Huns a taste of being burned by fire and having nothing! But this is not enough, my son will cut off the heads of more Hun cavalrymen in the future to pay tribute to your souls in the sky!

Presumably, the last few words of Father Tangyi will soon spread throughout the territory of the Kun Evil King, right? By that time, how many people will dare to abandon their own tribe to intercept us? But this tribe alone is not enough, we have to burn the second and third...... When did the Huns withdraw their troops, when will we stop arson!

"Sons! Tired or not? Li You turned around and shouted loudly.

"Not tired at all! Envoy! We're waiting to burn the second tribe! Xu Yannian was the first to answer loudly.

"Okay, then follow me! Let these Huns see what a terrible consequence it is to provoke us Han people! Li You's heart was full of pride, and the horsewhip was pulled down hard, and the whole team rushed towards the other tribe like a storm......

"Envoy, there are still a lot of young people in this tribe, don't be negligent!" Before arriving, the cousin's father reminded him loudly.

"Well, let the rear team slow down, you take me over to have a look first!" After that, Li You, Tangyi's father and Pan Feng quietly climbed the hillside.
