Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 536 The grassland is in chaos
It is common sense that everyone should leave the fire immediately after finding a fire and find a way to put the fire out.

The same is true for the Huns. After discovering the first fire near the city gate, instead of rushing out of the city gate with raging flames, they went around looking for wooden barrels to get water from the wells in the city to put out the fire.

It is precisely because of the ignorance of oil that they tried to extinguish the fire with water, and some Hun cavalry who were closer to the city gate wasted their possible chances of survival.

Mo Dun rode on his standing horse and galloped towards the road he came from. Being able to ride into the city was the unique power of Mo Dunhe's close guards. As for the other Hun warriors, they stepped on the East Hu before the gate of the city was cleared. Human corpses climbed over the wall and entered the city.

As he ran, Mao Dun was horrified to find that a Hun warrior was carrying a bucket of water that had already been burned by the king of water and dumped it on top of the burning black water. The flames not only did not go out but continued to burn on the water.

This fire is not afraid of water!

He galloped to the vicinity of the city gate, and within a short time, the fire had already turned into a prairie fire, and the fire at the city gate stretched for at least ten meters.

Some Hun warriors at the city gate were still pouring buckets of water into the fire, but it was of no avail.

As the line of fire approached, panic had begun to spread among the Huns.

The arrival of Modu immediately made these Huns find their backbone.

"Da Chanyu, these fires can't be quenched!" Immediately, a warrior came to Maodun with a bucket and said in horror.

"Bring the water." Mao Dun gritted his teeth and asked.

The warrior immediately handed the bucket in his hand to Mo Dun. In his opinion, the brave and powerful Shanyu must pour a bucket of water to see the situation for himself, but he was trying to figure out how to lead everyone out.

However, under the puzzled eyes of all the Hun warriors, Modu dumped a bucket of water on his head.

He drew out his long sword and ordered fiercely: "Everyone get out of the way."
Then a sword was inserted into the belly of the horse under his crotch.

With the neighing of the war horse, Mao Dun rushed towards the gate of the city like a sharp arrow off the string.

The Great Chanyu ran away...

Seeing that Maodun left everyone and ran out of Juyang first, the Huns warriors who stayed at the city gate were stunned.

"Run, if you don't run, you will be burned to death!" At this time, a Hun with a bucket in his hand suddenly buckled the bucket on his head like Mao Dun, and rushed towards the raging fire. The location of the gate.

With a leader, and with the fact that Maodun had already rushed in, these Hun warriors at the gate of the city immediately imitated the example and poured a bucket of water on their bodies, and rushed into the flames.

……

After rushing into the sea of ​​flames, Maodun immediately felt the scorching heat wave hit his face, covered his mouth and nose with his wet clothes, and lowered his body as much as possible.

However, the length of the fire wire was somewhat beyond Mao Dun's expectations, and the splashed water on his body evaporated rapidly under the extremely high temperature.

Mao Dun rushed to the half of the fire scene, and Mao Dun couldn't help taking a breath. Immediately, there was a burning sensation in his throat, and he even felt a little dizzy in his head.

Mao Dun hurriedly held his breath as much as possible, he could already see the appearance of the city gate when he looked up, and he could rush out in three or four meters, but at this moment, the war horse under his crotch swayed and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the inertia of the horse's falling to the ground, Mao Dun rolled forward for more than two meters. Enduring the severe pain all over his body, Mao Dun stepped forward with his legs and jumped out of the sea of ​​flames to the outside of the city gate.

In the eyes of the Huns guarding the city gate, it was another scene.

They were still jealous that they had no chance to enter the city to plunder, but suddenly they found that there was a raging fire in Juyang City.

The raging fire quickly spread to every corner of Juyang City in a very short period of time.

The Huns who stayed outside immediately ordered the Donghu captives to break some branches to put out the fire. However, even the peripheral temperature of the flame was extremely high at this time, and the Donghu people subconsciously did not dare to approach.

After beheading several disobedient prisoners, these Donghu prisoners reluctantly approached the flames at the gate of the city slowly.

However, at this moment, they suddenly found a burning man whose whole body was on fire, and suddenly rushed out from the position of the city gate.

After rushing out of the city gate, they continued to run for more than ten meters before being stuck on the ground together.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" The Xiongnu nobles outside ordered.

Immediately, those Donghu prisoners grabbed branches and swept towards the burning man who rushed out.

However, after sweeping for a while, the fire on the man's body was still not extinguished.

"Take off his clothes quickly." Another Hun nobleman ordered.

The Donghu captives hurriedly pulled off the clothes on the man.

It was only then that it was discovered that a large area of ​​this person's body had been burned. In today's words, it was a large area of ​​burns, and at least [-]% of it was burned.

In this era, such a large area of ​​burns is basically sentenced to death even if it is not dead now.

However, when this man was stripped naked, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding Hun nobles immediately became terrified.

"The Great Chanyu! It's the Great Chanyu!"

As soon as this person exclaimed, all the surrounding Xiongnu nobles immediately came over.

All eyes were fixed on the wolf head tattoo on his chest.

Although the burns on Mao Dun's chest were still serious, the lifelike tattoo of the wolf's head could still be distinguished.

There is only one person in the Xiongnu who is qualified to have the image of the wolf god tattooed on the front of his chest, and that is——Da Shanyu Modu.

Before Mao Dun rushed out of the sea of ​​flames, his face was burned beyond recognition. The Huns nobles couldn't tell his identity for a while, but now they saw the tattoo on his chest and finally recognized him.

After confirming the identity of Modu, these Xiongnu nobles immediately carried Modu to his original big tent by themselves, and invited the priests accompanying the army to smear Modu with sticky herbs.

The fire in Juyang City lasted until noon before it was slowly extinguished.

Because most of the buildings in this era are made of wood, Juyang City after the fire has completely turned into a blank land.

Nearly [-] Hun warriors were engulfed by a fire.

Now there are only more than [-] Xiongnu fighters who stayed outside and managed to escape with their lives, but there are still nearly [-] Donghu people who were driven out!
It is impossible to guard nearly 10 people with more than [-] people. In fact, the remaining [-] Huns have given up on continuing to guard after confirming that the army has all been buried in the sea of ​​fire. The idea of ​​Donghu people, but stationed in one place alone.

Even when the Donghu people drove most of the livestock away that night, they didn't dare to step forward and say a word.

Five days later, Yu Modun, the great Shan of the Xiongnu who ruled the grassland for the first time, died.

The Donghu people who returned to their hometown quickly drove out the Huns who stayed behind in Donghu, and the various tribes of the Huns immediately fell into a melee after learning of Maodu's death.

The prairie is in chaos.
