Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 327
The Huns who were lucky enough not to fall into the trench looked down and took a deep breath. Of the 800 people who fell, most of them lost their lives, and most of the rest were crying in pain. .

The trench about three meters wide is more than two meters deep. That alone is not enough to cause such heavy losses to the Huns who fell.

However, at the bottom of the ditch, spears were densely erected.

It was these spears that became the deadly weapon of the Huns.

With limited time and lack of tools, [-] Qin soldiers dug with long swords for several days, but only dug a trench three meters wide and two meters deep.

Naturally, it will not be able to reach the realm of "a big pit with a small pit, a small pit with an old pit, there is still water in the pit, and there are still nails in the water" in later generations.

Ziying had no choice but to make the best use of everything, and buried all the spears that Qin Jun carried with him with their pointed ends upward, and buried them in the bottom of the pit.

Although more than 1000 spears sound like a lot, they are somewhat sparsely distributed in such a long trench, and many places can only be inserted with sharpened branches.

However, the Huns suddenly stepped into the air while running, or were pushed into the deep pit by the flow of people behind them. Naturally, it was impossible to fall straight when they lost their balance. This horizontal contact area is large...

Besides, Ziying thoughtfully ordered the soldiers to carry a lot of water from a distant stream and pour it at the bottom of the pit.

Although the time was short and no water accumulated at the bottom of the pit, it was still possible to wet the soil at the bottom to make the Huns slippery and unstable.

With multiple measures taken together, the scene is really horrible...

At this time, the Qin army was still on the other side of the trench, wantonly releasing arrows, taking the lives of the Huns one by one.

Seeing this, the anger in Ashina's heart could reach directly to heaven and earth, and he brought these 4000 people to avenge his clansman swearingly.

As a result, the enemy saw it, and he had lost more than half of his troops before he started beating him.

And fell into a desperate situation where there is a fire behind and a pit in front.

"You despicable Qin people, do you have the guts to fight to the death with the warriors of our Huns!" Ashina shouted in the direction of the Qin camp.

After the guide translated Ashina's meaning to Ziying, Ziying said with a smile: "You tell him that I am timid and afraid of fire, so I won't go there. We will fight to the death after the fire is extinguished."

Immediately, the accompanying guide loudly conveyed Ziying's original words to Ashina's ears.

Although Ashina yelled provocative words, he didn't think that Qin Jun would let go of the opportunity to wipe him out and fight him fairly.

This sentence is more of a way to vent anger, but I didn't expect the commander of the Qin army to actually respond, and the response was so shameless.

You are afraid of fire, don’t tell me the warriors of my Great Huns are not afraid of fire here? With such a big fire, when the fire is extinguished, even if they are not familiar with them, they are almost the same. How can they fight to the death by then.

Can you not be too shameless as a human being.

"withdraw!"

After taking a few deep breaths, Ashina immediately ordered the remaining Huns to retreat.

Since the road ahead is blocked, there is no reason to continue to stay here and suffer arrows.

However, rushing back across the line of fire didn't have much life, you must know that the dry grass under your feet was mixed with oil.

With the help of the grease, the fire will not be easily extinguished before the grease burns out. God knows how wide the fire line is.

"Immediately push the dead grass away to create a clearing," Ashina ordered.

Now the road ahead and the back road are not feasible, the only plan for the present is to find a glimmer of life in this sea of ​​fire.

Ashina immediately directed the remaining Huns to push the weeds and fallen leaves to the outside, hoping to clear an open space without dead grass for them to settle down.

As the planner of this plan, Ziying would naturally not allow Ashina's plan to succeed, so he immediately ordered the Qin army in the camp to throw a handful of torches to the other side of the trench.

Light the fire on this side and attack the Huns on both sides.

If they attacked from both sides at the beginning, I am afraid that the Huns would not flee to their own side at all, and they would not lose half of their troops under the rain of arrows and trenches.

These Huns will probably start to clear the open space immediately, so the results of the plan will be greatly reduced.

The reason why Ziying didn't set fire on both sides at the beginning, and spent so much time digging trenches and inserting spears.

One is to delay the time to expand the coverage of the fire scene and reduce the scope of activities that the Huns can clean up.

The second is to try to attack the vital forces of the Huns. You must know that the Huns have a total of 4000 people.

If 4000 people start clearing the open space immediately, under the rapid fire, although it is difficult to clear an open space for everyone to avoid the fire, it is still possible to retain [-] to [-]% of the strength.

However, under Ziying's layers of planning, the Huns have missed the best time to clear the open space.

Not only did the fire in the rear spread beyond half of the valley, but a raging fire also began to burn in the direction of the Qin camp.

The fire from two directions quickly encircled the Huns.

And more importantly, more than half of the Huns have been damaged at this moment. When 4000 and 2000 people are cleaned up, the efficiency is naturally worse than 01:30.

As Ziying expected, the Huns hadn't cleared enough space, and the Huns were surrounded by fire from all directions.

The fire ignited the fur of the Huns, and many Huns who were entangled in the flames instinctively rolled on the ground, but they were stained with a lot of grease, which made the fire more vigorous.

In order to avoid the fire, these Huns who were ignited at the moment still cared about their superiority and inferiority, and ran to a small open space cleared in the middle in order to survive.

In order to prevent these people from bringing the flames, Ashina ordered the guards to kill all those who rushed over rashly.

However, the time of life and death inspired the ferocity of these people.

"Since you won't let me live, let's go together." This is also the thought of many Huns before they died.

No matter how hard it is to get a few knives, it is still necessary to rush to the person in the open space, pass the flame over, and hug him tightly.

Ashina's orders became less and less effective in this increasingly chaotic open space.

But fortunately, his prestige is still there, and no one has taken the initiative to draw the fire on him for the time being.

……

"Everyone's clothes were wet, they covered their mouths and noses, they lay on the ground, hurry... quickly... quickly..."

This is the order of Zhong Ziying in the Qin army camp.

Ziying at this moment can no longer take care of the current situation of the Huns.

In spring and summer, even some hay is relatively humid, and the smoke produced during burning is naturally very intense.

However, in this extremely enclosed valley, the wind basically cannot blow in.

Thick smoke billowed, but did not disperse.

Although there was no spark in Qin Jun's position, the thick smoke alone made Qin Jun a little unbearable.
