Chapter 299: Laxatives

An hour ago, outside the Sword Gate, the Huns camped.

Lu Xiaoming and Zhu An took advantage of the night to quietly touch the outside of the Hun camp.

Since the two of them received Yu Hao's letter in Yujiaguan, they rushed to Jianmen Pass non-stop.

And start acting on time at the time predetermined in Haoxin.

"Third prince, I'll go and light the forage of the war horse camp in a while to attract the attention of the defenders, and you are responsible for spilling these laxatives into the war horse's water tank while taking the opportunity." Lu Xiaoming said, took out a package from his arms and stuffed it to Zhu An.

Whether it was igniting the forage or drugged the water, it was a task of nine lives and one death, and Zhu An suddenly hesitated.

Seeing that Zhu An didn't pick the package, Lu Xiaoming suddenly became anxious: "Third prince, don't pick on me at the critical moment, have you forgotten the task assigned by the eldest brother?" As long as we can complete it, it will be a miracle, and the emperor will not look down on you at that time! ”

Yu Hao explained in the letter that their task was to drug the Xiongnu's war horses, but it was not a poison, but a laxative.

After taking laxatives, the war horse will be weak and unable to run for a short time.

In this way, it can not only delay the speed of the Xiongnu to return to the old nest, but also make the Xiongnu army lose its advantage.

Once the Xiongnu lost their horses, they became infantry, and the defenders of Jianmen Pass could take the initiative to attack and deal a fatal blow to the Xiongnu army.

"Third prince, there's no time!" Lu Xiaoming urged.

Zhu An hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and took the package in Lu Xiaoming's hand.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief, arched his hand to Zhu An, and said, "Third prince, take care of yourself, I'll go first!" ”

After speaking, Lu Xiaoming climbed the wall of the Hun camp in three or two, and then there were two muffled snorts on the wall.

Zhu An didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly climbed up the wall, at this time Lu Xiaoming had disappeared, only two Hun soldiers fell on the wall, and they had lost their breath of life.

Zhu An hurriedly ripped off the clothes on one of them, put them on himself, and hid the bodies of the two of them again, and then hid in the grass on the side.

Today, the Xiongnu army has just plundered several villages and trade routes near Jianmen Pass, and held a feast to celebrate the achievement.

Although there were 400,000 troops in Jianmen Pass, most of the Xiongnu soldiers were drunk.

The Huns looked down on the Daqian army from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that even if they were drunk, the Daqian army would not dare to take the initiative to attack, so they could be so fearless!

However, this just gave Lu Xiaoming and Zhu An an opportunity.

Soon, a raging flame ignited in the direction of the forage area, and the flames kept jumping upward, reaching a height of more than ten meters, and the fire light illuminated half of the sky.

For a while, the war horse camp was in chaos, and many soldiers guarding the camp were still asleep, so they were pulled up by others to put out the fire, and many people were confused and didn't know what was going on.

But these people, without exception, rushed towards the forage area, and no one noticed that there was a person hiding in the grass under the fence.

Zhu An saw the opportunity and hurriedly got out of the grass.

However, due to excessive nervousness, as soon as Zhu An got up, he stepped on a pile of horse manure, suddenly lost his center of gravity, and fell forward.

Zhu An's face slammed on the ground, and the pain was incomparable, but Zhu An still endured the severe pain and got up and went straight to the horse ring.

Because Zhu An was wearing Hun clothes, he occasionally met one or two Hun soldiers on the road, but the other party didn't take Zhu An seriously.

This immediately made Zhu An breathe a sigh of relief, and soon, one by one, the makeshift horse rings were close in front of him.

"Hey, that guy, what are you running, talking about you!"

At this moment, a rough voice suddenly sounded from behind Zhu An.

Zhu An stiffened, stopped, and his body began to tremble due to tension.

"Why don't you go to the fire and run to the stable?" The voice behind him came again.

Zhu An's mind was blank at this time, and he couldn't speak at all, so he could only hold the package in his hand tightly.

Seeing that Zhu An didn't respond, the people behind him were obviously suspicious, and slowly pulled out the scimitar on his waist.

"I'm talking to you! You turn around! Otherwise, I'm not going to be kind to you! ”

Hearing this, Zhu An had no choice but to turn around, only to find that there was a Hun dressed as a general standing behind him.

The Xiongnu general also saw Zhu An's face clearly at this time, and immediately frowned.

I saw that Zhu An's face was covered with sludge, and his whole face was black, and he couldn't see Zhu An's appearance clearly.

Seeing that Zhu An was indeed wearing Xiongnu clothes, the Xiongnu general also relaxed his vigilance a little, and asked suspiciously: "Why don't you answer when I ask you?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to the general, I was a soldier guarding the forage area, and the forage area suddenly caught fire, and I was frightened, and I rushed into the general, and I asked the general for forgiveness. Zhu An said tremblingly.

Seeing that Zhu An was trembling like a sifting chaff, as if he was really frightened, the Hun general also believed his words, and inserted the scimitar in his hand back into the scabbard.

"As a warrior of my Huns, how can you be so cowardly? You don't put out the fire, but you come here, do you want to escape? The Hun general glared and scolded.

"The little ones don't dare!" Zhu An said, quickly knelt on the ground, and said with an idea, "It's because there is not enough water to fight the fire in the forage area, so the little one wants to come to the horse circle to get some water." ”

In order to facilitate the filling of the manger, a lot of fresh water has been hoarded on the horse circle, and this reason is reasonable.

Sure enough, when the Hun general heard Zhu An's words, he was immediately shocked: "What did you say?" Not enough water to fight the fire? Then what are you still doing in a daze, go and carry water! ”

Forage fire is a very serious matter, if the war horse is out of forage, it will not last much time, and the Huns can only be forced to retreat.

At that time, Akagi Han's anger was not something that a small general could afford.

If he couldn't put out the fire, then he would have to go to see Akagi Ahan with his head on his head.

At this time, the Xiongnu general was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and seeing that Zhu An was still slow, he hurriedly pulled Zhu An up.

"Follow me!"

With that, the Hun general ran to the place where fresh water was stocked.

However, before he could run far, Juan behind him raised his right hand and aimed it at him.

In the next second, three short arrows shot out of Zhu An's sleeve and hit the back of the Xiongnu general with unmistakable accuracy.

The Hun general snorted and fell to the ground.

Zhu An hurriedly pulled out the scimitar on his waist, rushed over and made up for him a few more times, and did not stop until he was completely motionless.

The Hun general never thought that this soldier, who looked cowardly as a mouse, was actually a spy!

Shaking the blood on the scimitar, Zhu An looked at the corpse of the Hun general on the ground with a gloomy face, and his eyes were cold like never before.

"Huns, I thought it was so powerful, it turns out that you are also mortal fetuses, and you will also die if you are shot!"
