Chapter 44: Taking Chestnuts from the Fire
"wait?"

Wang Bing was even more confused. He scratched his head and asked doubtfully:
"What are you waiting for?"

At this time, a night wind blew from the west, and the wind was so strong that the surrounding weeds bent down and almost stuck to the ground, making rustling sounds.

Feeling the cold wind, a smile appeared on Li Mu's face:
"Wait for the wind to come!"

On the western outskirts of the barbarian camp, a group of barbarian soldiers were gathering around a campfire, drinking kumis, eating barbecue, and laughing loudly without restraint.

Every time they broke through the Great Wall and attacked the Grass Valley, it was their happiest moment.

The weather in Mobei is bitterly cold, and there is basically no other way to survive on the grasslands except herding cattle and sheep.

If there is anything else, it is...

Robbery!

Whenever there was a shortage of food due to snowstorms, their tribes would break through the Great Wall in groups and go to Qianguo, Yongguo and other places to forage for grass and grain.

The land south of the Great Wall is fertile, and the women have delicate skin that seems to be so fine that water can be squeezed out of them...

As long as you capture a village, you can gain a lot of coolies and women, as well as many children with delicious meat!
Therefore, what these barbarians like most is to raid the grass valley.

However, you can't always make money from hunting for grass.

The Qian State built three major passes: Tiangu, Tianque and Tianyu, and connected the ancient Great Wall together.

There is a beacon tower every thirty miles and a military fort every fifty miles on the Great Wall.

Moreover, all the domestic criminals were exiled to the northern border to cooperate with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to resist the barbarians.

Such a solid defense makes it increasingly difficult for the barbarian soldiers to move south to raid the grass valley!
If they cannot break through the Great Wall, their tribes will attack each other, the big tribes will attack the small tribes, kill their men, and rob their cattle, sheep, and women...

This time, because of the tragic death of his son, Wugutu Khan united all the tribes in Mobei and assembled tens of thousands of troops in an attempt to capture Tiangu Pass in one fell swoop.

As long as Tiangu Pass is broken, these barbarians will be able to march straight in.

The women of Qian State have food, cattle and sheep, so they can be taken away at will!

Thinking of this, these barbarians couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

After drinking the mare's milk to their heart's content, they fantasized about breaking through the Tiangu Pass as soon as possible and having fun with the fair-skinned and delicate-skinned women of the Qian country.

"The women of Qian Country have such good skin that water will ooze out when you touch it!"

"Gali Meng, your hands are so rough. If you really touch them hard, won't you scrape a piece of skin off those women?"

"You know what? The Qian country woman he robbed during the Caogu Galimeng fight was killed by him in just one night. He's really fierce!"

"He is just a wild bear. The women on our grassland can't stand him..."

When it came to the obscene parts, the group of barbarians burst into laughter.

Collapse...

The barbarian soldiers were laughing wildly when they suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring vibrating faintly in the distance.

The hearing of these barbarians by the fire was amazing. Although they were half drunk, they immediately became alert.

"There are enemies!"

The sturdy man named Gali Meng immediately jumped up from the grass, picked up the saber at his waist and turned around to rush out.

But just after he took a few steps, he heard the sharp sounds of arrows breaking through the air again in the night.

whoosh...

A feather arrow suddenly shot out from the night and pierced his chest in an instant.

He looked down in disbelief at the arrow tip that was stuck in his chest, and then he felt a sharp pain coming from his body.

"ah……"

He roared into the night, with blood even spurting out of his mouth.

But at this moment, a feather arrow shot again.

The arrow just pierced his throat, instantly blocking his roar in his throat.

"Enemy attack!" The barbarians beside the fire jumped up and shouted, picking up their weapons and wanting to fight.

But at this moment, a group of burly men in black armor rushed over from the night.

Although they were covered in heavy armor, they still moved as swiftly and agilely as leopards. They arrived in a flash under the cover of night, all holding sharp spears in their hands.

puff!
A barbarian soldier who had just rushed out was instantly pierced through the chest by a spear. After his body trembled, he fell directly to the ground.

The remaining barbarians ran a few meters with their sabers in hand when they were quickly killed by the enemy's spears!

The spears were like a forest, advancing forward continuously.

More than a dozen barbarians were stabbed by many spears in an instant, and some of them were even pierced by several spears at the same time!
After these black-armored Wei soldiers quickly killed a dozen barbarian soldiers, they did not stop at all and charged forward fiercely with their spears in hand.

They formed teams of three and killed any barbarians they saw.

Many startled barbarians had just rushed out from the campfire or tent, and were quickly killed by the spears that were spitting out like snakes in the night.

In the blink of an eye, a gap had been torn open on the west side of the barbarian camp by the Wei Wu soldiers.

The vanguard Wei Wuzu quickly arrived at the area where the tents were densely packed.

The barbarians in front had been alarmed and gathered together, picking up their weapons and rushing towards them.

At this moment, a sharp west wind suddenly blew over.

The wind was so strong that the big flags on the tents in the camp were fluttering.

When Baichang Hongchen saw the flags fluttering wildly above his head, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately gave an order:
"ignition!"

Hundreds of Wei Wu soldiers quickly spread out in a line, sprinkled kerosene on the tents, and then set them on fire with bonfires.

boom……

The flames instantly spread among the tents.

The fire was driven by the wind and soon spread like wildfire, burning along the tents!
The barbarians who were originally preparing to gather for battle were all stunned when they saw the fire before them.

"Firefighting!"

"Anti-enemy!"

Some centurions or enemy chiefs shouted randomly, making these barbarians even more confused. They didn't know whether to kill the enemy first or put out the fire.

But once the fierce west wind blows, there is no sign of stopping.

The flames spread more quickly in the barbarian camp, and in a blink of an eye they had burned over a mile.

At this time, Wugutu and others who were cooking the roasted lamb were also alarmed.

"Enemy troops are raiding and setting fire on the west side!"

Wugutuhan's face turned cold, and he shouted:
"Send people forward to meet the enemy immediately and separate the firebreak!"

People on the grassland have experience with fires. After all, in autumn, the grass is withered and once a fire breaks out, it will spread all over the place.

Therefore, quickly separating the firebreaks is the best way to isolate the fire.

Although the enemy launched a surprise attack, the barbarian camp had tens of thousands of soldiers!

Such a powerful force can hold on quickly once it has quick and effective command.

But the tribes on the grassland are actually a group of rabble. On weekdays, they are small tribes. They are gathered together by the Khan himself with his power and bait.

Once something happens, it will be impossible to move as easily as the soldiers of Qian State.

Many tribes simply do not respect each other, and are even less likely to accept the command of other tribes.

As soon as the Khan's order was issued, there was naturally quite a bit of chaos.

Many tribes that were originally defending the southern front quickly went to the western front to reinforce in order to gain merit, while the tribes on the western front could only desperately put out the fire and resist in order to protect themselves.

This resulted in chaos on the Western Front and a rapid depletion of the Southern Front.

At this moment, the Great Snow Dragon Riders set out!
