Chapter Forty-Seven: The Danger of Landmines

Xiang Tong commanded the Xia soldiers to dig a long ditch in the ground and bury these Huns in it.

However, when burying the Huns, he also made a special trip to let the soldiers leave the upper half of their bodies outside, and on the bodies of the Huns who were 'exposed' from the ground, the Chu soldiers piled up thick hay again.

All the Huns were buried under the haystack, and Xiang Tong said coldly to the little colonel beside him: "Hurry up and light the fire, don't suffocate them to death!" I'm going to let the villagers see them burned alive!" ”

The little colonel waved his hand one by one: "Ignition!" ”

The Chu army, armed with torches, got the order and stepped forward to light the hay piled high, and in an instant the fire spread, and the sky was reflected redder with the burning village.

The billowing black smoke rushed up to the sky, and the Huns who were buried in the ground were burned into fire men one by one, they screamed miserably, but their bodies could not move, they could only let the fire 'expose' them on the ground, and at the same time roasted the other half of their bodies buried in the soil into fragrant cooked 'meat',

The living villagers looked at the sky-high fire without blinking, listening to the screams of the Huns in the flames,

The scene of the fire burning people alive was extremely miserable, but the expression on their faces was unexpectedly calm, and there was a bit of irrepressible joy in this calm.

"Sister, I want to go out with General Xiang to kill the Huns!" When the fire was about to be extinguished, the village girl standing beside him straightened her little chest and said,

"You're still a kid, how can you go to war?" The village girl immediately objected to his decision, glaring at Xiang Tong who was walking towards them,

Xiang Tong felt as if her bones were crispy when she saw this village girl at this glance.

"My brother is too young to go to war with you!" The village girl glared at Xiang Tong and said angrily: "If you are soldiers, you can recruit me!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Xiang Tong scratched his head, and said with a smile: "I think so too, but this kid has to follow me, so you should persuade him!" ”

As soon as his words came out, Nie Long was reluctant, he made a small face, and said to Xiang Tong: "The eldest husband is full of words, why is the general's speech inconsistent?" ”

"Ugh!" Xiang Tong was stunned, and then said, "Isn't it that your sister doesn't agree with you to follow me!" You'd better follow your sister first, and then come back to the army when you grow up in the future, and I'll keep a place for you, okay? ”

Nie Long stiffened his neck, and said with a non-negotiable tone: "No, the general promised me, I have to follow you this time!" ”

"Good!" Before Xiang Tong could speak, the village girl on the side said: "Please add Nie Xinyu to the list of joining the army, my brother is with you, and I will also go with you!" ”

Xiang Tong was a little speechless by the sister and brother, he was stunned for a while, and then said with a bitter face: "I said two, there are no 'women' in our army, this little baby is just a soldier, there is still a little gadget hanging under him, but eldest sister, you are a soldier, it is a bit too much!" ”

"What's that?" Nie Xinyu glared at Xiang Tong: "I heard that Daxia also built a women's army in the 'gate', and even the 'Meng' Niangniang and Xiang Niangniang in the palace all dismounted for their wives and went on horses as generals, what's wrong with me being a 'woman'?" Does the general want me to go to King Xia to evaluate this ceremony? ”

"Ugh!" Xiang Tong was completely speechless, and he groaned for a long time before he said to Nie Xinyu: "Since the girl must join the army, okay, then you, Nie Long will also be a personal soldier like you,"

"What does a personal soldier do?" Nie Xinyu tilted his head and looked at Xiang Tong suspiciously,

"It's nothing, just help me block the people I don't want to see, and every time I set up camp, help me clean up the camp, and the rest is nothing!" Xiang Tong rolled his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he said the two things that his personal soldiers should do,

"It's nothing!" As soon as Nie Xinyu heard that there were so few tasks, he immediately agreed,

Xiang Tong arranged for some Chu troops to send the living villagers to Jiuyuan City, and at this time, only Jiuyuan City was a truly safe place.

A few days later, when the Chu army brought back to Jiuyuan City the news that Xiang Tong had saved the civilians in the village in Guyang, Xiang Ye went down,

This order was to ask Xiang Tong to immediately send Nie Xinyu's sister and brother back to Jiuyuan City, and not to let them participate in the battle with the Huns.

, a house rises from the ground, and a big plaque hangs on the house - "General Xichu's Mansion Mansion",

has known Xiang Tong for several years, and Xiang Ye can't say that he doesn't know anything about him.

Xiang Tong has always been a very firm male protagonist, and this time he can be taken down by a village girl, which can only show one problem, that is, he has fallen in love with that village girl,

Now he is fighting the Huns for Great Xia, although he is nominally a partial general of Western Chu, but for Xiang Ye, he is a general who is on par with Li Xinpeng and other Great Xia generals.

A general fell in love with the village girl, and as the king, he naturally wanted to hold a beautiful wedding for him.

Xiang Tong was really reluctant when he received the order, he sent a team of 100 people to escort the sister and brother back to Jiuyuan City, and when the back of the team disappeared from his sight, he still reluctantly stood in place and looked,

He has been very comfortable these days, and he doesn't have to let those rough soldiers wash his dirty clothes, as long as he is clean, even his armor will be polished for him.

"General, King Xia asked me to bring you a secret letter!" Nie Xinyu handed a sheepskin to Xiang Tong when the officer who came back from Jiuyuan City,

Xiang Tong opened the sheepskin, only to see a line of words written crookedly on it: "Xiang Tong, Lao Tzu Day. You, if you like a chick, you won't say a word to your brother, okay, I'll help you keep it first, and come back to the 'cave' room after the battle, you kid don't die, your little gadget won't have a chance to pestle your 'woman'! ”

After reading the secret letter, Xiang Tong was stunned for a long time, and after a while, he asked the officer beside him, "Do you have it?"

The officer shook his head with a blank expression,

Xiang Tong sighed, folded the sheepskin and put it in his arms, and said secretly in his heart: "Ya, King Xia is not particular, I haven't said that I want to marry a daughter-in-law, he will help me get ready!" That's it, that's it, let's go back and get married after the war, no matter what, it's a marriage given by a prince and a king! ”

The Xiongnu army bypassed Guyang and rushed all the way to the original territory of Yan.

After advancing for several days in a row, they didn't even see a shadow of Xia Jun, and Mao Dun couldn't help but feel a burst of 'hair' in his heart.

It's too abnormal, when such a large army enters the territory, the Xia army has no reaction at all, which is not in line with military common sense at all,

And what's even more strange is that there are many villages they pass along the way, but every village is empty, and the crops in the fields are growing well, but the villagers seem to have evaporated out of thin air, and they can't see any of them.

"It's a little strange that we didn't see a single civilian!" ”

Zuo Dadanghu nodded, echoed and said: "The people of the Xia Kingdom are extremely cunning, this time we are going to withdraw our troops and go back, and then try to go south in the future?" ”

As soon as the left big man finished speaking, the right big man on the side immediately objected: "Although it is much more convenient for our Great Huns to go out on an expedition than the Xia people, but every time we go out on an expedition, we also have to work soldiers and horses. ”

While the big men were arguing on the left and right, Mao Dun didn't say a word with a cold face, and at this moment, a fast horse came rushing towards them from the front.

A Xiongnu turned over and jumped off his horse, ran in front of him with his 'legs', half-knelt on the ground and said: "For some reason, the Xia people moved all the civilians close to the Great Xiongnu to the south, and from then on, you can see the villages where the Xia people gather thirty miles ahead!" ”

As soon as he heard that he could see the gods of the Xia people, he waved the scimitar in his hand and shouted to the Hun army behind him: "There are Xia people in front, kill!" Kill all of them, the Central Plains pigs! ”

The 200,000 Xiongnu army shouted in unison, and rode their horses in the direction where they found the Xia people.

Just rushed out of more than ten miles, a Hun knight suddenly felt a hoof of the war horse under his crotch sink down, he hurriedly tightened the reins, and a loud battle sounded under him,

The Hun knights who were just above the impact wave of the explosion were blown into a horse, and even the men and horses were hit by the impact wave and the rubble that occurred during the explosion, and fell under the horses.

The first explosion sounded, and one after another explosions came and went, and the wilderness full of Hun cavalry was full of Hun screams and broken 'meat' scattered in the sky.

The smoke and dust filled half of the sky, and the Huns at the center of the explosion couldn't even see the nearby scene clearly, and they had long since forgotten the east, west, north and south, and scattered one by one to escape from this area full of death.

"Withdraw! Remove! In a cloud of smoke and explosions, the disgraced man turned around and withdrew in the direction they came from, surrounded by the big men and a group of guards on the left and right, shouting loudly while retreating: "There is an ambush in the Xia army, the whole army retreats!" ”

The Hun army has long been blown up, where is there still a little war spirit, as soon as I heard Mao Dun shouting to retreat, everyone swarmed in the direction they came to ride their horses and gallop, ~
