Daqian deposed the crown prince, and the emperor begged him to stop rebelling

Chapter 42: Roasted Lamb

The lights in the barbarian camp were bright, as if it were daytime!
Countless cowhide felt tents were like stars surrounding the moon, guarding the giant tent of Wugutu Khan in the center!

The surrounding small tents seemed scattered and disorganized, but in fact they were like a pack of wolves guarding their leader, forming layers of tight defense around Wugutuhan's tent.

Although the tents were stacked up one after another, there was enough distance between them, which was enough for the cavalry to ride their horses, but did not form a smooth road, preventing large groups of cavalry from driving straight in.

Moreover, wooden fences and chevaux de frise are hidden between key nodes!

Once there is a sudden attack from foreign enemies, layers of tight defense will be formed in an instant!
This is the effective tactic developed by the barbarians after years of fighting!

These barbarians grew up in a bitter and cold land, and had to live with their families following water and grass since childhood. Every day they had to face not only wolves and ferocious beasts, but also horse thieves and harassment from other tribes.

Therefore, they not only developed extremely strong physiques, but even if they did not enter the martial arts, their physiques were enough to fight against the eighth-grade warriors of the Qian Kingdom.

Moreover, in the grassland environment where the strong prey on the weak, they are born with many instincts to resist foreign enemies. Once they set up camp, these gathered tribes will naturally form a formation without the need for Wugutu Khan's orders!

At this moment, a huge bonfire was lit outside Wugutuhan's giant tent, and the flames were several feet high!
Although his hair and beard were grey, Wugutuhan, who was still as strong as an ox, sat in front of the tent, drinking happily with his subordinates with an ox-horn cup in his hand.

After experiencing the pain of losing his son, Wugutuhan did not show any sadness in front of others, only anger.

The men on the grassland cannot show even a little bit of weakness in front of outsiders.

Even if his wife and children were killed in front of him, and his cattle and horses were looted...

They believe that once a man shows his weak side, he will become weak and vulnerable, just like a wolf losing its teeth!

Therefore, even though Wugutu Khan was extremely angry and sad in his heart, he still behaved like the most powerful and angry wolf in front of the subjects of these tribes.

When a wolf loses its cubs, it will only sharpen its teeth and bite its enemies to death one by one!
Instead of whimpering with your tail between your legs!
"Great Khan! Tomorrow morning, I will lead my troops to break through the city gates of Qianbing, kill all the people inside, and pile up their heads into a Jingguan to comfort the spirit of the young Khan!"

The person who spoke was a man about eight feet tall, with a beard growing wildly like weeds on his face and eyes as fierce as an eagle's.

This man is Tolewu, the top general under Wugutu Khan!

He led the first attack on Tiangu Pass in broad daylight.

Although hundreds of barbarian soldiers died in the battle, they killed more than ten thousand invading soldiers at Tiangu Pass!
One for twenty is already a big victory!

But in Tolewu's eyes, failing to break through Tiangu Pass in one fell swoop was a great shame and humiliation!
Therefore, before he was even half drunk, he stepped forward and challenged Wugutu Khan to a fight.

"it is good!"

Wugutuhan clapped his hands and laughed:

"Tonight I will roast dried lamb for you myself, so that you can feast on dried lamb meat to your heart's content. Tomorrow we will capture Tiangu Pass in one fell swoop!"

After saying this, Wugutuhan waved his hand, and two guards beside him immediately dragged out a captured soldier from Tiangu Pass from a cage in the distance.

The prisoner from Tiangu Pass was captured alive by the barbarians after being injured, and was locked in a standing cage for a day. He was already exhausted and was dragged to the campfire by two tall and strong barbarians like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Without waiting for Wugutu Khan's orders, the two guards stripped the prisoner of all his clothes and then picked up two buckets of ice water and poured them directly on him.

The criminal soldier was suddenly poured with ice water, and he screamed in agony, which caused the leaders of the surrounding barbarian tribes to burst into laughter.

In the eyes of these barbarians, the Qian people are like cattle and sheep.

This prisoner offered no resistance as he was dragged, and screamed in agony as ice water was poured over his body, which further reinforced the impression that they were weak and could be bullied and killed at any time!
The two guards then tied up the prisoner's hands and feet with tendons and threw him naked on the ground, like a chicken or duck that had been stripped of its fur.

"Iron stick!"

At Wugutu Khan's command, two barbarian soldiers brought up a huge iron stick that was more than ten feet long, as thick as a child's arm, and as long as a spear.

This iron skewer weighed nearly 100 kilograms and was carried by two barbarians.

Wugutuhan stretched out his right arm, took the iron stick with one hand, and then stabbed with a spear. The spear head pierced the prisoner's feet and penetrated his body in an instant, coming out from below the throat. The prisoner didn't even have time to scream before Wugutuhan pierced through his body with a spear, and then raised his arm and lifted him directly into the air.

Blood dripped along the iron skewer.

The prisoner pierced by the iron skewer was still struggling and trembling, like a leaf falling in the wind!
However, there was a bloodthirsty excitement in the eyes of many barbarian tribal leaders.

"it is good!"

"The Khan is mighty!"

"The Khan is still as powerful as ever!"

Cheers suddenly rang out around the bonfire.

Wugutuhan held the offending soldier in one arm and glanced around.

Seeing the excitement and awe on the faces of his subordinates around him, he felt a sense of pride and joy in his heart.

call!
Wugutuhan shook his arm, and the iron skewer and the prisoner flew out together, landing steadily on the rack between the campfires.

The smell of burning flesh instantly filled the space!

The surrounding barbarians became even more excited:
"it is good!"

"Today, let us taste the roasted lamb made by the Khan himself with Tolewu!"

"Eat dried mutton when you are hungry, drink mare's milk, and take Tiangu Pass tomorrow morning!"

There was an excited cheer around the bonfire.

In the cage far away, many prisoners who were captured together were shivering in the darkness.

Hell is on earth!
Those who were unfortunately captured and ended up in the barbarian camp were faced with the same fate as the prisoner who was assassinated by Wugutu Khan himself: being eaten alive and made into roasted sheep!
What does it mean to live every day like a year and live a life worse than death?
That's how they were locked up in a standing cage, without food or water, and could only wait to be slaughtered!

Several prisoners could not help vomiting after smelling the smell of burning flesh in the air.

The two younger prisoners couldn't help crying quietly.

"Mom! I don't want to die!"

"I don't want to be roasted like a dried sheep by the barbarians. I don't want to..."

More prisoners stood silently in the cages, with expressionless faces and lifeless eyes staring into the distance.

In the distance is the endless night, the darkness is so thick that it seems impossible to dispel!

In this barbarian camp that stretches for miles and is stacked up layer by layer, how could they have any hope of survival!

……

"Fire!"

"Enemy attack!"

Suddenly, a scream came from a distance!

The barbarians who were drinking beside the campfire suddenly became chaotic. They stood up from the grass, drew their swords, and looked around in panic.

The prisoners in the cages were also suddenly shocked. They widened their eyes and looked in the direction where the screams came from.

But suddenly a bright light appeared in the darkness in the distance, like a ray of dawn that suddenly pierced through the night!
