Han Dao world

Chapter 288 Hunting Time
More than two hundred Huns spread out on the ice and ran forward.

The brighter and brighter fire in the distance is the direction.

The moon has set, the sun has not yet risen, it is the darkest time before dawn, and you can't see your fingers.

Fortunately, the ice surface is flat without any obstacles. As long as you don't slip, you won't fall.

It doesn't matter if they slip and fall, they wear a lot like a ball.

Running on the ice takes a lot of energy, and even the selected strong men still have some energy and blood floating all the way, and they are out of breath.

Fortunately, the camp of the Han army is getting closer and closer.Against the backdrop of the flames, the silhouette of a person could already be vaguely distinguished.

The camp of the Han army was empty, and there were almost no people in sight.

They slowed down their pace, adjusted their breathing, and made as little noise as possible, while drawing their bows and nocking their arrows.

Someone licked their lips, as if smelling delicious blood.

Only two arrows remain between them and their prey.

The firelight is getting brighter and brighter, reflecting on the ice surface, getting brighter.

At this moment, someone noticed something strange.

The firelight reflected off the ice seemed to be shaking.

The ice surface is not absolutely flat, and the reflection will change, but it will not change frequently, let alone rippling like water waves.

They slowed down and squinted their eyes.

Before they could understand it, there was a "crash" not far away, followed by a scream and the sound of desperately paddling.

Someone ran too fast, didn't pay attention to his feet, and fell into the water.

The others immediately tensed up.This place is too close to the camp of the Han people, and the people in the camp may be alarmed, resulting in the failure of the raid.

"Forward!" The two centurions issued orders in unison.

Too far away from the camp, the arrows in their hands could not reach the target, and they had to advance at least fifty steps.

Hearing the order, the Huns hurried forward regardless of their companions.

Some people lit torches, and more people raised the bows in their hands, lit the kindling of the arrows, drew them full, and were ready to shoot.

"thump!"

"thump!"

The sound of falling into the water came one after another, and more people fell into the water. Before the arrows in their hands could be shot, some were directly drowned by the water, and some fell on the ice, illuminating their frightened faces.

What floats on the water is shallow ice floes, not thick ice.

The Huns immediately realized that the Chinese were not unprepared, and they broke the ice on the shore to prevent the enemy from approaching through the ice.

Even so, the Huns did not give up.

There are only a hundred steps left from the shore, even if they are swimming, they have to swim over.

Someone took off the thick leather jacket, wrapped it with a special rocket, picked up lake water mixed with ice floes, and wiped it vigorously on his body.After my body got used to the cold, I drank a few more sips of wine before slipping into the water.

Running all the way, sweating all over, directly submerging in water can cause cramps.

The two centurions were no exception. After wiping their bodies with cold water, they went into the water one after another.They advanced in the icy lake, only their heads were exposed, and their eyes were fixed on the approaching Han army camp.

When they stepped on the mud by the lake, they slowly drilled out of the water, and a centurion raised his hand, ready to give the order to enter.

"Whoo! Whoosh!" Two feathered arrows flew at the same time, and the centurion hit the arrow, and fell into the water on his back, causing a splash of water.

Blood gushed out along the arrow shaft, staining the lake red.

Almost at the same time, another centurion was also shot by a cold arrow and wailed in pain.

The Huns panicked.

The centurion was shot before the battle even started, and they didn't even see their opponent.

This is clearly a trap, and they are the prey that fell into the trap by mistake.

Many people subconsciously got into the water, only showing their frightened eyes.

There was silence on the shore.

The water in the lake was bitter, and the Huns soon couldn't bear it.Someone ventured up, took a big step, and ran towards the shore of the lake.While running, he drew the bow in his hand.There is no torch to ignite the fire, and the arrows in their hands have limited damage. Apart from emboldening themselves, there is not much practical significance.

There are not many people on the shore.

The feather arrow departed from the string, breaking the tranquility, and the camp on the bank immediately became lively. First, the patrolling soldiers knocked on the warning horns, and then more soldiers rushed out of the tent and stood outside the tent.

The Huns did not dare to neglect, roared and charged forward.

They have nowhere to go but to move forward.

"Whoo! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The sound of feather arrows piercing the air was endless, and one by one the Huns fell down. Only more than [-] people rushed to the vicinity of the Han army camp.

The crossbowmen retreated, and the Huns were greeted by two teams of Han army infantry wearing black armor and holding swords and shields.

The fight was a one-sided carnage from the start.

After driving more than ten miles, the Huns were already exhausted and had no protection on their bodies.Just now, for the convenience of swimming, they even took off their fur coats against the cold, and now only their wet single clothes are left, which can't stop the sharp ring-shouldered swords of the Han army from slashing.

This is the imperial camp, guarded by the most elite infantry, and the only infantry in the entire army - Huben.

There were screams one after another, and the Huns soon fell into a pool of blood.Some fell to the ground, moaning in pain.

Majesty Huben raised his hand and ordered the shooting to stop.

Huben dispersed and formed a group of five. The Huns who fell on the ground disarmed and dragged them together.

"ignition!"

The prepared fire was lit, illuminating the camp, the lake, and the frightened eyes of the Huns.

Dozens of fire piles were scattered nearby, apparently prepared by the Han people long ago.

The flames were blazing, accompanied by the laughter of Huben.

Someone said: "There seems to be something missing."

Immediately someone said: "If you don't shout, don't shout, it doesn't look like being attacked, but it looks like barbecue."

There was a roar of laughter.

Immediately afterwards, another person said: "Barbecue is also good, can't these beasts be grilled? They must sound miserable."

"color!"

Someone rushed over, picked up a wounded Hun, and threw him into the fire.

The Huns screamed from the fire and tried their best to crawl out, but were kicked in by the tigers surrounding them.

More Huns were thrown into the fire, screaming and screaming, it couldn't be more real.Even the Huns who were not thrown into the fire were frightened and screamed desperately.

Watching the Huns struggling and twisting in the flames, turning into living torches, the expressions of the tigers gradually became cruel.

They threw more Huns into the fire.

"Burn, burn them!" someone yelled.

"Burn them!" someone echoed.

Some people couldn't bear it and wanted to step aside, but were grabbed by their companions.

"Look carefully, if you don't kill people, you can only be killed." Someone yelled loudly to hide the fear in his heart.

"When Luoyang was burned, it was much worse than this." Someone gritted their teeth and scolded.

The screams became more and more shrill, and the flames became more dazzling, illuminating the sky.

To the north of the camp, a group of dark figures appeared on the pitch-black horizon.Accompanied by the sound of rumbling horseshoes, hundreds of cavalry charged towards the camp of the Han army illuminated by the fire.

Luo reined in his mount, squinted his eyes, and stared at the camp in the distance without blinking.
