Daqin: You were asked to build the Great Wall and you destroyed the Huns?

Chapter 243 Rat?This fucking tiger!

Jiuyuan City.

In an old house near several warehouses.

Jiawen, who had been in bed all day, squinted his eyes.

Finally, we saw the gleam of fire in the distance that pierced the darkness.

"Ugh?"

"Then why is it so bright?"

A defender at the warehouse also discovered this scene at this moment.

The shouting alarmed the garrison leader.

He walked out with a few people and looked towards the direction of the fire with his head shaking.

In the dark night, a bright flame was rising little by little.

It gradually expanded and enlarged, and soon it illuminated half of the street.

"Isn't it a fire?"

In this dry winter, if a fire breaks out, it will not be easy to extinguish.

The garrison leader frowned.

The fire was only a few hundred steps away.

If it was really allowed to burn, the chaos during the fire extinguishing would spread to the vicinity of the warehouse.

At that time, if something goes wrong with the forage, I will be guilty of dereliction of duty.

He turned around and yelled.

"Come 50 people with me to put out the fire. The rest will guard the warehouse for me and are not allowed to leave!"

Everyone nodded, but still looked curiously in the direction of the fire.

The leader led the people away.

But after a while, two more people ran back.

"The fire is too big. Come with a few more people and push it onto the water truck."

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

The soldiers who liked to join in the fun immediately crowded forward.

Dozens more people left.

Now the warehouse garrison was reduced by half.

But Jiawenhe leaned against the wall and listened to the noise, but still didn't go out.

At this moment, behind the door of another house not far from him.

The leader of the warehouse was looking around the warehouse vigilantly through the crack in the door.

Behind him were nearly a hundred secret guards.

"We have secretly searched around just now and found no one."

The leader waved his hand slightly.

"The clan leader is leading the battle from the front, and a fire suddenly occurs at such a critical moment, and it happens to be opposite the forage warehouse? How could it be an accident? There is definitely something wrong."

"It's possible that an enemy couldn't defeat the clan leader head-on, so they tried to sneak into the city and burned the fodder and food, causing the clan leader's army to lose supplies and retreat without a fight."

Although what the leader said makes sense.

But the soldiers were still worried as they looked at the flames that were getting bigger not far away.

The fire had even alerted the defenders on the distant city wall.

The leader frowned. Although he secretly turned back, the dozens of people he brought with him were actually sent to put out the fire.

"Bringing water, why is it so slow?"

No one answered. The soldiers just wanted to put out the fire as soon as possible, because if it continued to burn, their reserve granary would be next to it.

Although it may not be used, its importance is not much less than that of the hay barn.

The leader obviously realized this and sighed.

"Go with 30 more people and suppress the fire immediately."

As soon as the words fell, another 30 people rushed to the well from the back door.

The leader continued to stare around the warehouse with squinted eyes.

A quarter of an hour passed.

There was still silence all around.

The fire in the distance not only did not decrease, it even had a tendency to spread.

The leader finally felt something was wrong.

His expression tightened.

"Not good! There are many people on the other side."

"Something must have happened at the well!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly led a hundred people to rush from the house to the well.

When they ran over, they found that around the wide well, several soldiers were constantly fetching water from the well and filling it into the water tanker.

The leader couldn't figure it out now. Where is the enemy?

He exhaled, maybe he was being paranoid.

He turned around to look at the soldiers and scolded them.

"Hurry up, if the granary is burned down, none of us will end well!"

After saying this, he was ready to take people to the fire place to check.

what is going on.

But as soon as he took a step, the corner of his eye suddenly glanced at a trail of blood on the ground not far away.

The leader's pupils shrank instantly.

Turn around and it will be big.

But the sound has not yet sounded.

"Whizzing!"

Dense crossbow arrows were shot from the houses in all directions.

The hundreds of soldiers behind him fell like wild grass.

The leader's eyes widened, it was unbelievable that the other party could reach so many people in the city.

But it was too late to say anything at this moment, he could only scream desperately.

Shout out the words "Enemy attack!"

At this time, the several Huns soldiers who were standing by the well suddenly began to shout with all their strength.

"Fire! Fire!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

These people's voices were so loud that they suppressed the word "enemy attack".

The leader was extremely sad and angry. This place had already been occupied by the enemy.

The two groups of people he sent were probably killed as well.

He had obviously expected an enemy.

But why is he still being manipulated by the other party?

He wanted to rush out, to call for reinforcements.

He tried his best to resist the enemy's crossbows, even using the bodies of his brothers.

Finally, he ran to the corner.

The arrows could not reach him, and he had a chance to call for help.

At this moment, the leader was extremely excited.

"Please help! Please help, these people are going to die!"

By chance, a group of hundreds of city gate defenders in the distance were attracted by the fire.

Before he even got close, the leader yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Enemy attack!"

The sound echoed over the entire Jiuyuan City.

The moment he said these two words, he felt relaxed all over.

He survived, now it's time for the enemies to be afraid.

When the hundreds of soldiers in front of them heard this, they immediately ran forward.

He could already clearly see the bronze scales on these people.

The leader gritted his teeth and pointed to the well in the distance where there were corpses on the ground.

"The other side has ambushes with bows and crossbows, at least a hundred people."

"They wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain to burn the fodder, but I found out and laid an ambush here!"

"Don't attack by force, just besiege it!"

"Call the general to come with troops and surround him again!"

The leader finished speaking excitedly.

The opponent also drew his weapon.

"puff!"

The sword pierced hard into his chest.

The leader's eyes widened with astonishment on his face.

Until he saw clearly that the scales of the reinforcements were covered with blood.

Then I realized that what they were wearing was the armor of the soldiers in the first two waves.

"Uh~uh~."

With a final struggle in his throat, the leader turned sideways and looked at the hay barn he was guarding.

There was no fire.

He smiled, knowing that he had finally accomplished his duty.

This kind of movement will definitely alert the surrounding defenders. By the time they all arrive, these enemies will have no chance to burn fodder and food.

But the old Zhao slave who thrust the sharp sword into his chest thought of his family members who were tortured to death.

I just can’t see the Huns dying easily.

He said something in his ear with a ferocious expression.

"Why burn it?"

"When we kill all 2 of you, won't these all be ours?"

"Thank you for keeping this fodder and food for us!"

The leader's eyes suddenly widened.

His reaction suddenly began to be violent, as if he wanted to reach out and grab the opponent, using his last strength to tear off a piece of the enemy's flesh.

Unfortunately, the rotating blade finally took away all his strength.

Only a corpse with a face full of unwillingness was left.

The sound of enemy attacks finally alerted the [-] defenders in the city.

Huns were gathering here from all directions.The head of the branch leader had an angry look on his face.

The clan leader is fighting in the front. If something happens to Jiuyuan City behind this, he is afraid that he will be punished by death!
"I really don't know how to live or die!"

"Leave 5000 people on the city wall to guard the surroundings, and the rest will kick open every room for me."

"If I find these rats, I will strip off their skins and hang them on the city wall."

By the time they finished speaking, they had arrived at the well.

Under the light of distant fire, the corpses all over the ground made the leader of the branch even more furious.

To be able to kill hundreds of people so quickly, the opponent had at least 300 people.

Moreover, they are well-equipped, and everyone carries a crossbow.

"Were all the people who searched the city blind?"

"Hundreds of people can't be seen under their noses?"

But after shouting angrily, he had no choice but to surround and suppress them first.

We can settle accounts with those people later.

He led thousands of people holding torches and approached the streets little by little.

In the distance, there were also several teams of thousands of people approaching.

Looking from the sky, five or six fires gradually moved closer to the central fire area.

When they came closer, they found that there was no one there.

The branch leader suddenly frowned.

what's going on.

At this time, several other teams from afar also arrived.

The leader of the branch was about to ask.

A scream came from the east.

The last team of 2000 people seemed to have suffered fierce resistance.

The branch leader's face tightened.

"Follow me!"

"I want to see how big a rat is hidden in the city!"

"When the patriarch comes back, I will behead the general who searched the city in public!"

At this moment, it is on the east side street which is very close to the wooden shed area.

The Huns soldiers tried their best to hide from the arrows fired from all directions.

There were corpses everywhere on the streets and blood stains everywhere.

Their 2000 people are now running low.

Only through the firelight can you see that the rooftops on both sides of the street are densely packed with human figures.

The Huns simply didn't understand how so many enemies got in!

And the leader of that branch also arrived here at this moment.

He looked shocked at the scene in front of him.

"Where did thousands of enemies appear out of nowhere?"

At this moment, he no longer cares about the reason.

He was about to give the order for everyone to encircle and counterattack.

But the next moment, more enemies appeared from all directions.

Not just the houses and alleys on both sides.

Even the streets in the east were completely dark.

These people held crossbows in their hands and swords hanging from their waists.

He shouted the slogan: "Kill all the barbarians and take revenge."

The number is tens of thousands.

The leader of the branch was already stunned on the spot.

He muttered something in his mouth.

"This isn't a damn mouse, they're hiding a tiger in the den!"

The attacks from all directions gave the Huns no time to react.

Thirty thousand old Zhao soldiers wanted to eat their blood and gnaw their flesh.

One by one, they risked their lives.

Killing one is enough to earn money, killing two counts as profit.

Such a brazen style almost defeated the Huns' formation at the first encounter.

There were screams and killing sounds everywhere.

Enemies were everywhere, as if someone was waiting for them on every roof.

The guards around the branch leader fell one by one.

He couldn't even tell which way he should attack.

Of the thousands of soldiers under his command, very few are left.

The leader of the branch was full of despair.

He was very sure that he had guarded the city wall extremely firmly, and there was no way the other party could come in from outside the city.

At this moment, all he wanted to do was chop the general who was responsible for searching the city into pieces when he entered the city.

……

In the distance, Jiawenhe also walked out of the small courtyard.

Beside him were a hundred soldiers who had just cleared out the silo defenders.

The leading soldier shook his hand full of donated blood and said.

"It's really difficult to prevent them from burning the fodder and food before they die."

Jiawenhe replied with a glare.

"What kind of effort is this?"

"The eldest son leads the troops to confront hundreds of thousands of cavalry. That is the real effort!"

"Give us 3 people and leave a city with [-] defenders."

"It's still a sneak attack that can be done at any time. It couldn't be simpler!"

After finishing speaking, Jiawenhe waved his hand again.

"The amount of fodder and food saved this time is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of horses and tens of thousands of soldiers for more than a month."

"Jiuyuan City will become a nail driven into the Xiongnu's neck!"

"Even if the Royal Court's army counterattacks in the spring of next year, if they want to capture such a prosperous Jiuyuan City, they will have to pay a huge price."

"If the eldest son is still enterprising, he can become an excellent base to threaten the Yinshan Great Wall in the north."

Jiawenhe was very satisfied with his move this time.

"You only need to leave tens of thousands of troops here to make the Xiongnu sleepless."

"Consider it a good move!"

……

While a big fight breaks out in the streets.

The five thousand defenders on the city tower were also caught off guard by the old Zhao soldiers who suddenly appeared behind them.

Without the advantage of cavalry, the Huns were already at a disadvantage compared to the Qin army's powerful crossbows and swords.

Coupled with the surprise attack from behind, the city was plunged into a sea of ​​fire, and the leader did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Within two hours, the city wall completely fell.

The black Qin-character flag was once again erected on the top of Jiuyuan City.

In the streets below, the battle was coming to an end.

The leader of the Huyan clan was captured alive and brought before Jiawenhe.

He still can't believe how the Qin people appeared in the city.

The first time I met Jiawenhe was to question him.

"How on earth did you get in?"

Jiawenhe smiled slightly.

"I never left?"

After the words fell, the leader of the branch laughed miserably.

He had already guessed something.

But when I actually heard it, I still felt more sad than heartbroken.

"Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!"

"There is a beast squatting beside the bed without knowing it, and it wants to go forward and challenge the beast king!"

"Hu Yan Zhuoyuan, you are blind and defeated unjustly!"

After the words fell, Jiawen and Jiawen were about to interrogate him, but saw the leader of the branch standing up suddenly.

The hands tied behind his back suddenly grasped something and rushed straight towards Jiawenhe.

Jiawen's eyes widened.

Get a big drink.

"stop!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. The soldiers on both sides swung their swords out in an instant.

"Boom."

The branch leader rolled to the ground with a mocking smile on his face.

Jiawen closed his eyes and sighed.

"This guy wants to die!"

"He must know the distribution areas of the major tribes in the royal court. If he can be tortured, it will not be conducive to the future of the young master's Northern Expedition!"

The soldiers who took action also knew that they were being reckless.

What the leader of the branch held in his hand was just a jade pendant. Where did the murderous weapon come from?

But the matter has come to an end, and Jiawenhe is not saying anything.

He waved his hand and said.

"That's all, clean up the whole city of barbarians and leave no one alive."

"Leave 1 people to defend the city, while the rest prepare the armaments and select horses."

He raised his head and looked towards the battlefield of Princess Yunzhong in the east.

Eyes narrowed slightly.

"At dawn tomorrow, follow me and attack from behind."

"Surprise attack on the Huyan clan!"

"Let me show you the riding skills of our old Zhao people!"
