Chapter Ninety-Seven: Prisoner

In order to rescue the captured Wusun soldiers, Chang Hui ignored Weng Guimi's repeated dissuasion, and resolutely led his troops into the Xiongnu enemy camp. Chang Hui has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he has quite rich experience in controlling the enemy, taking advantage of the fact that it is not easy to be discovered at night, he and one hundred and ten elite subordinates actually sneaked into the Huns' military camp smoothly.

In the barracks, except for the soldiers standing guard, most of the rest of the people fell asleep, and as Chang Hui thought, these rampant Huns had the upper hand a little, and they began to be triumphant again. They thought that they had defeated Wusun's morale, and even if there were grievances, they did not dare to act rashly because of Weng Guimi's military orders.

But Chang Hui didn't admit this evil, he had been fighting for so many years, he had never been afraid, and he escaped from the hands of Hades again and again, and he could always escape. Chang Hui took this risk for nothing else, just to rescue those brothers who were fighting side by side, he did this is what a man should do, even God will help him.

Compared with the tens of thousands of troops in the Xiongnu military camp, Chang Hui did not dare to let his subordinates follow him on an adventure, but made a more feasible plan. First, he sent a few skilled men to burn the Huns' grain and grass storehouse, and when they saw the raging fire, they knew that the plan was half successful.

"Let's go, let's go save people." Chang Hui gave an order, and everyone went straight to the cell at the back of the barracks, and the soldiers around the cell saw the fire in the grain and grass storehouse, and most of them ran to put out the fire.

A few small characters who were not eye-catching were naturally not enough to pose a threat, and it didn't take much effort for the raiding Wusun soldiers to remove the obstacles and enter the cell.

The dark cell was filled with a disgusting putrid stench, and the soldiers waded into the muddy waters, looked at the wooden fences on both sides by the faint moonlight, and called anxiously: "Hey, brothers of Wusun, are you all here?" ”

"You are saved, get up quickly!" Some people thought that the captured Wusun's soldiers were asleep, and before they had time to see the situation in front of them, they could only shout first.

"Hurry up and slam the door open......" Since he couldn't see if there was anyone in the prison, someone suggested that he should open the door first, "Anyway, they are all people captured by the Huns, not our brothers, or the people in the tribe, how much can be saved and how much can be saved......

"Wait!" Chang Hui smelled something unusual, this was the only cell in the Xiongnu military camp, and it was supposed that all the captives would be held here. When I first came in, I smelled the unpleasant smell, which means that there are many people imprisoned here, and since this is the case, even in the middle of the night, it is impossible to be so quiet.

Chang Hui has been to many prisons, it is simply a hell on earth, many people die every day, or are waiting to die, whether it is day or night, it is an abyss that cannot see the light, and you can hear the groans of grief and pain all the time.

But it's so quiet that you can't hear any moaning, it's so unusual. One has to wonder if this is a trap. They didn't have time to check out if there was anyone in the cell beforehand, because this was a fact that everyone believed, and if there was no one, why were there so many Hun soldiers guarding outside the cell, who would have thought that this heavily guarded cell was empty.

Chang Hui's heart gradually sank, and he took the torch handed by the soldier behind him with trembling hands, walked into the cell step by step, raised his hand high, and illuminated the situation in the cell.

The moment they saw the cell, everyone was in an uproar, and the cell was empty. No one expected this to happen, and no one expected to fall into the trap.

"General Chang......" Someone realized that something was wrong, shouted loudly, and motioned for Chang Hui to leave quickly.

It's just that now I find that it's not good, and it's too late to leave.

Before Chang Hui could take a step, the screeching sound of swords clashing behind him, as well as the wails of the soldiers, and a loud rumbling sound came from all directions, sounding like a galloping horse. Chang Hui could feel the ground shaking beneath her feet, the cell crumbling and about to become the grave where they would be buried.

"Oops, we've been tricked, thousands of Hun soldiers are surrounding...... "The adjutant general saw the situation outside, not afraid, but worried about more brothers. He had already put his life and death on the line, but he couldn't even cause more people to die, and the whole thing started because of him, not only did he fail to rescue the captured brothers, but he also dragged down so many elite soldiers, even General Chang.

"General Chang, you go quickly, we can still support it for a while......" The adjutant general shouted, raised his long sword and killed it, "Eighteen years later, let's meet again as brothers!" ”

Chang Hui wanted to stop it too late, the lieutenant general fought alone into the encirclement, and soon disappeared in the rolling waves, like a vulnerable boat, instantly engulfed by a storm.

"General Chang, let's go, let's go, no matter what, you have to leave here and go back to see the king......" The rest of the elite soldiers held back their sadness, they couldn't think much about the life and death situation, what they could do was to keep the boss, as long as Chang Hui was fine, their Wusun soldiers would be able to make a comeback, and Wusun would not lose too much.

Everyone has an obligation to take responsibility for this raid, no one cares whether they live or die, and every adventure is expected to be the outcome, but as long as the damage can be minimized, even if they all die, it is worth it.

"General Chang, let's go, we'll cover you to the stable, you must rush out......" The elite soldiers worked together, no one cared where they were going to be buried, they all had the same idea, that is, to protect Chang Hui, so that he could return to Wusun safely and continue to assist the king.

Chang Hui bit his lip tightly, and was pulled out by the elite soldiers, he hated so much, hated himself for not listening to persuasion, hated the cunning and treacherous of the Huns, and hated the foolishness of heaven. But in the final analysis, what he hates the most is himself, he has always thought that he is very strong, and he can save the day every time, but people's good luck will run out sooner or later, and he can't mess around.

If he could escape this time, he would hate himself even more than rejoice that his good fortune hadn't run out. He escaped by stepping on the bones of his brothers and survived, and he would rather not have this life. All the consequences were caused by him, he had already said in front of Weng Guimi that he was going back to wait for military law to deal with it, how could he involve everyone to die with him, how could he have the face to return to Wusun alone.

Since both horizontal and vertical are one death, he would rather die on the battlefield and fight the enemy to the death than die out of guilt, and he can't forgive himself after death.

Chang Hui rekindled his fighting spirit, brandished his sword to fight a bloody path for the brothers around him, and finally came to the stable, pushing the others to get on the horse.

"Let's go, you go quickly, go back to see the king, and say that Chang Hui has apologized with death......" Chang Hui stared at the people around him with red eyes, and yelled at the people around him, dragging their arms and pushing them on the horse.

"No, General Chang, you are the general of our Wusun, if you want to go, you will go, with you, there will be hope for Wusun." The elite soldiers who were bent on death were unwilling to watch Chang Hui go to death, and pulled to let Chang Hui get on the horse, "General Chang, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Mrs. Chang and the children, don't you say all day long, don't you think they can't eat and sleep, if you die here, aren't you afraid that they will be sad and sad?" ”

"Yes, General Chang, it's not your fault, we came with it voluntarily, no one thought of falling into the trap, how can you punish yourself. Let's go, there's not much time left, as long as you can escape, we can die in peace. ”

"I'm not leaving!" Chang Hui hesitated for a moment when he thought of his beloved wife and son, but he still couldn't allow himself to be a deserter, he didn't want his family to be ashamed of him, he would die like a man even if he died.

"You guys talk nonsense again, there is no one to deliver the letter, and I finally saw what the enemy battalion commander looked like, did they all guard the information and die?" Chang Hui patted them on the back and said hurriedly, "Go back and report to the king, the location and distribution of the enemy camp, this is an order!" ”

The few elite soldiers who were able to fight their way out of the encirclement to the stables didn't have time to think about it, and their partners were dying one after another, just to help them fight for their last life. If the whole army is destroyed, it will be a failure to live up to the feelings of the brothers who have already died.

"Hurry up, they won't kill me right away if they catch me, don't forget, I'm still of some use." Chang Hui said against his will, as long as he could persuade them away.

"General Chang......" The elite soldiers were reluctant to get on their horses, they didn't know if they could return to Wusun alive, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they couldn't give up. Even if the king died immediately, they would have died as they deserved.

"Let's go, take care, everyone!" Chang Hui slapped the horse's buttocks and sent them out of this hell on earth.

Chang Hui hated that he couldn't die with the Huns at once, but he couldn't die yet, and there were still many brothers still fighting, and if he died, they really wouldn't have a way to live.

Chang Hui thought of an idea and decided to give it a try, he went straight to the commander's barracks, knocked down more than a dozen guards outside the tent one after another, pulled the boss out of the tent, and the two fought each other, but the boss of the Huns was obviously not Chang Hui's opponent, and he was defeated in a few moves.

"Tell them to stop fighting." Chang Hui grabbed the coach by the neck and dragged him to the cell and forced him to give the order.

The embarrassed coach couldn't even breathe, so he had to obey his wishes, waved his hand to his subordinates, and reluctantly said, "Stop, don't fight anymore." ”

Chang Hui searched for his men in the crowd, and the Wusun elite soldiers who were lucky enough to survive staggered over and stood behind him one by one. Chang Hui's confidence came back little by little, he strangled the chest of the Xiongnu commander, and said: "Where are the Wusun soldiers captured before, hand them over quickly, otherwise, I will kill you now." ”

The boss's face was already bruised, and he nodded to the guards beside him, and the guards hurriedly rushed to the barracks of the cavalry and released the captured Wusun soldiers.

"Let them go!" Chang Hui shouted, dragged the boss to the stable, turned his head and shouted to the soldiers, "Get on the horse, get on the horse!" ”

"General Chang, General Chang......" The soldiers couldn't bear to see him sacrifice himself, and refused to get on the horse after hesitating.

"Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze, this is an order, an order!" Chang Hui roared with all her might.

Wusun's soldiers hurriedly climbed on horseback and slowly left the Xiongnu military camp under the protection of Chang Hui, and tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry watched them go away, but they did not dare to chase after them regardless of the commander's life.

Chang Hui heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him fading away, and finally showed a relieved smile on his lips, fortunately, he was able to rescue these soldiers at the last moment, and now even if he dies immediately, there is no regret!

Feeling that Chang Hui's strength was not as good as before, the coach could also take the opportunity to breathe a few breaths of fresh air, he sneered and said: "It turns out that you are General Chang Hui, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that this time the serial set gained a lot, and I actually caught your big fish, haha......"

"You are less proud, Lao Tzu can kill you now!" Chang Hui also sneered, "Lao Tzu dared to come to the enemy camp, he didn't think about leaving alive, and when my people are gone, I will die with you!" ”

The Xiongnu boss was stunned, he didn't expect that the people who came to the rescue would be big people like Chang Hui, and he didn't expect that the coach of Wusun would be willing to die in order to save people.

"Do you think that if you die with me, you will be able to end a hundred?" The Xiongnu commander was in a hurry and said with a smile, "Do you think that if you let go of those wounded soldiers, I will have no chips in my hand?" Hmph, I'm afraid you haven't received the news yet, we have caught the leader of the Naqi tribe, as far as I know, the leader of the Naqi tribe is a relative of King Wusun, and the daughter of the leader is the wife of your elder Wusun Alie, yo ho, this relationship is really deep enough, just talking about the relationship between King Wusun is enough to be qualified to exchange with me! ”

Of course, Chang Hui knew what the identity of the leader of the Naqi tribe was, and it didn't seem like a lie to hear him say it in such detail. But we can't easily believe what the enemy says, and we can't be sure that it's not the truth until we see it with our own eyes.

"You greedy for life and afraid of death, you really don't have a fucking seed, you can die if you don't threaten Lao Tzu! What else are you going to scare when you catch the leader of the Nachi tribe? Chang Hui said this, still to buy a little more time, he wanted to ensure that the rescued Wusun soldiers left the Xiongnu territory safely.

"You think I'm trying to scare you? No, it's not like that, my life is in your hands, will I tell such low-level lies waiting for you to debunk? The Hun commander patted his arm, "General Chang, don't be so nervous, you see, you want me to release people, and I will let them go, I have already escaped at this time, my men are all under your nose, and they haven't moved a single step, what else do you have to worry about." Now that I can't even hear the sound of horses' hooves, you should let me go and let me catch my breath! ”

"Don't come with me, where is the leader of the Nachi tribe, I want to see him!" Chang Hui said coldly, increasing the strength of his wrist again.

"Oh yo, okay, okay, I'll let you see him, let go a little, his neck will break." The Xiongnu commander had no choice but to order again, "Bring the leader of the Naqi tribe over to General Chang to see!" ”

His subordinates were ordered to lead people, and the Hun commander was repeatedly embarrassed in front of everyone, and he was naturally very unconvinced, and said indignantly: "General Chang, even if you kill me, you don't want to live, why don't you take advantage of it to please me now, maybe I can still entrust you with important tasks in the future." ”

Chang Hui looked up to the sky and laughed: "Death, Lao Tzu is not afraid!" I don't even bother to be in cahoots with you! But you coward, if you don't want to die, you have to look at Lao Tzu's face now! ”

"It's easy to say, I've never seen anyone who isn't afraid of death, but I have no way to live and have to die, just be a hero. If I promised to spare you and spare you from death, how could you be so fearless? The Hun boss sneered, "I heard that you have a wife and children, and you are dead, so you can bear to let your wife be widowed and let your beloved son have no father?" I'm still a loner, and now that I'm dead, at most, I'll see the king of Hades alone, and I won't drag down the whole family. But you are very different, you die, that makes the whole family's life worse than death! ”

Chang Hui gritted his teeth: "Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu's women and children are more seeded than you, even if I am gone, they will continue to crusade against the Huns and kill you bandits and livestock!" ”

"Okay, I'll see how long you can get your mouth hard!" The Xiongnu commander pointed to the white-haired leader of the Naqi tribe and said coldly, "If you don't let me go, I will order someone to kill his entire family and exterminate the entire Naqi tribe overnight." You know I have what it takes. ”

Chang Hui said angrily: "Phew, what else will you do except step on other people's bones to survive!" ”

"Yes, that's my last bargaining chip, as long as I can survive, why don't I use it. I'm not like you, I work hard at every turn, my life is very expensive, and I am far from living enough! "The patience of the Xiongnu coach has come to an end, "Toast without eating and drinking, originally wanted to win you over to be a right-hand man, who knew that you were a stubborn wood." I don't want the Naqi tribe to be destroyed because of you, let me go now, otherwise, even if I die, I will let them be buried with me! ”

The leader of the Nachi tribe fell to his knees trembling, and his wife and children wept and looked at Chang Hui in the hope that he would save their lives. Chang Hui couldn't bear to look at it, and finally let go of the hateful and damned Hun boss.

The Xiongnu commander glanced at Chang Hui proudly: "Come on, please go to General Chang to sit in the dungeon, give Ben Shuai a good look at him, don't let him find a short view, I want him to taste what life is better than death!" ”

Everyone immediately rushed up, snatched the long sword in his hand, the dagger in his arms, Chang Hui glanced at the leader's family who kept kowtowing to him, gave up the struggle, and was escorted into the dungeon.

In the middle of the night, Feng Yan had a nightmare and suddenly woke up, in which she saw Chang Hui stumbling into the abyss, struggling in dire straits. She sat up, looked at the sleeping child, and breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately it was just a dream.

Feng Yan couldn't sleep anymore, lit the candlestick, looked through the letter that Liu Ye wrote to her again, read it again, and found nothing, so she dropped the scroll in discouragement, and meditated on the chin with one hand.

The candlelight illuminated the back of the scroll, which was the image of an eagle spreading its wings and flying high, and the wings of the eagle had increased the ink, making it look much darker than usual.

Feng Yan's heartstrings moved, and she stretched out her finger to dip some water and rubbed the eagle's wings, and a lot of ink was rubbed off, which should have been painted later. Feng Yan carefully touched the wings, took a knife and cut the surface of the sheepskin carefully, and sure enough, on the other side of the skin, there were dots of handwriting poked out with sharp objects such as needletips, which were just a sentence.

No wonder Liu Ye wanted to smear ink on the eagle's wings, the purpose was to cover up these hard-to-find handwritings, and also to attract Feng Yan's attention, but fortunately, she didn't find it too late.
