Chapter 215 Sneak Attack on the Huns in Dragon City
Since it was spring, the sun set almost exactly due west.

The bright and clear moon appeared in the sky in place of the sun, and the shining stars were as soft as the light of water.

But none of the two thousand five hundred soldiers of the Qimen Army was in the mood to look at this beautiful scene.

At this time, Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan were still waiting. When the light gradually faded around the dilapidated earthen city in the distance, Wei Qing looked at Zhang Yuan the same way.

"it's time."

Zhang Yuan nodded and said to Wei Qing.

"First set fire to the tent, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill the Huns."

Wei Qing nodded firmly, then turned his head to the back, and said very seriously to the generals of the Qimen Army.

"We don't need mercy on this trip, no matter old or young, women or children, as long as we see all slaughtered.

After rushing in and setting the fire later, kill the Hun men first, and finally kill the Hun women and children. "

After the words fell, no one in the Qimen army responded, but Wei Qing knew that everyone had already understood.

Only Zhang Yuan felt that it was a bit cruel, but after thinking about the hatred between the Huns and the Han people, there was no possibility of peace at all, so he was relieved.

"Soldiers follow me to kill!"

The hoofs of the [-] war horses were all wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and the sound of running was much quieter, but there were still keen Huns who could feel the faint tremors of the ground.

The people stationed in Dragon City are the high priest clan, who have grazed on the pastures around Dragon City for generations. Because this group is subordinate to the Xiongnu Da Shanyu, most of the young and middle-aged people in the clan joined the army of military officials.

Right now, nearly [-]% of the people in Dragon City are old, young, women and children, and the other [-]% are middle-aged men.

Some Huns couldn't see anything on the dark grassland after hearing the noise, so they could only run to the high priest's tent to inquire.

"High Priest, the ground seems to be shaking."

The high priest can be said to be the oldest old man in the Huns. He also felt the ground shaking, so he walked out of the camp step by step with a cane.

Seeing nearly a hundred panic-stricken clansmen around him, the High Priest was very calm.

"Everyone, don't panic. Yesterday, Da Shanyu led an army of tens of thousands to go to Han to fight. Presumably, he must have gained a lot, and he has already withdrawn and passed by the vicinity of Longcheng.

Everyone rest at ease, no one can threaten us on this grassland. "

The Huns had a higher degree of trust in the high priest than in the Great Chanyu, because they felt that the high priest was the only person in the Huns who could talk to the gods.

Even if the will of the gods is to let them all die, it is correct to think about it.

With just a few simple words, the high priest completely soothed the restless hearts of the clansmen, and everyone scattered back to their homes to rest.

The high priest looked at the darkness that seemed to be able to devour everything around him, showing a trace of suspicion, but he backed away without thinking too much.

In fact, such noises often occur on the grassland, and wild horses will rush across the grassland from time to time during the day.

At the beginning, the high priest thought that the wild horses hadn't forgotten about the Hun cavalry at all. The reason why he said that was just to increase the prestige of the military officials by the way.

Due to the negligence of the Huns, Wei Qing led the army to the edge of Dragon City very quickly, seeing that there was still no response inside, he laughed and growled.

"The soldiers follow me to kill these Huns."

It wasn't until this time that the soldiers of the Qimen Army started to make a sound, and the shouts of killing filled the entire Dragon City.

Li Jian, Xue Ren, Wang Tong, and the three Qu Junhous took their own troops respectively, and after entering Longcheng, they went straight to the north, south, east, and east.

The Qimen army brought not only the necessary food and grass on the road from Yanmen, but also a lot of kerosene, which basically accounted for half of the army's load.

The kerosene was prepared for this moment. A large amount of kerosene was dumped on the tents of the Huns, and the charcoal fire kept in the bamboo tubes was also thrown out from the hands of the soldiers of the Qimen Army.

The fire spread immediately, and at the same time a large number of Huns also ran out of the tents, and most of them didn't know what happened.

When a Hun saw clearly the armor worn by the soldiers of the Qimen Army through the light of the fire, he immediately understood in his heart.

"It's not good, it's the Han Chinese cavalry, everyone quickly pick up your weapons, ah"

Before the Hun could finish his sentence, he was stabbed to death by a Qimen soldier who ran past him.

The chaotic scene aroused fierceness in Wei Qing's heart, he glanced at Zhang Yuan and then spoke.

"Brother Yuan, little brother, I'm going down to kill the enemy right now, you have to protect yourself."

Zhang Yuan patted his chest with a smile, and said to Wei Qing.

"Don't worry, I can protect myself."

Wei Qing nodded, swiped his horsewhip and charged into Dragon City.

Seeing that Wei Qing had already left, Zhang Yuan also had the idea of ​​entering the city to kill the enemy when he saw the scene in Dragon City.

He touched the crossbow tied to his wrist, smiled lightly, and then went to a higher place in Dragon City.

In fact, Zhang Yuan did not have to worry about his own safety. In order to prevent Zhang Yuan from being harmed, Wei Qing directly arranged dozens of soldiers to protect Zhang Yuan.

Each of these soldiers is also eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, but military orders cannot be violated, and they must do the tasks Wei Qing assigned them.

It can be said that Zhang Yuan's entry into Longcheng was in line with the wishes of these soldiers. One by one, they drew out their ring swords and began to clean up the Huns who rushed around Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan also fiddled with the powerful crossbow on his arm, shooting crossbow arrows at the Huns running in the sea of ​​flames.

The two sides have been fighting for a quarter of an hour. The Qimen army, including Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan, still don't know that the tribal leader here is the high priest of the Huns. If they know, they will definitely want to find the high priest first. Whether it was killed or captured alive, it can be credited as a marquis.

But as time went by, Wei Qing gradually found that the remaining Huns were moving closer in one direction, so he led more than 2000 soldiers of the gate army and gradually surrounded there.

Standing on a high place, Zhang Yuan could see more clearly, and besides the fire, there was no threat around him. Almost all the able-bodied men of this tribe were killed, and the remaining few thousand people were also women and children. He got down on the ground and rode to Wei Qing's side.

"General, shall we do it?"

The young master of the Hou family who grew up in Xue Ren's greenhouse has also become a bloodthirsty and vicious general at this moment.

Wei Qing was about to make a kill-all gesture, when Zhang Yuan saw it and quickly stopped him.

"and many more."
