Chapter 396: Wolf Smoke
Maodun's army arrived as scheduled.
The horse thieves led by Qin Mu are all arrogant men who are used to licking blood from the knife. Now they see Maodun leading the army in person. The horse thieves are not only not afraid, but are even a little excited.
After all, there are not many horse thieves who can make a king on the grassland fight head-on. If this happens, horse thieves are also the best.
Qin Mu jumped onto the horse and whipped it, and took Qin Cao to the forefront of the horse thieves.
"Brothers, the kings of the Huns have been tormented by us. There is our No. 1 on the grassland. Even if you die today, you can still enjoy the future generations." Qin Mu laughed rebelliously, and a delicate long sword in his hand danced, and sword flowers bloomed in the air.
Behind him, Qin Cao was holding a long halberd in his hand. The entire halberd was made of pure steel, and it was a solid thing at first glance.
Maodun's army moved forward step by step, and the cavalry on the grassland faced the horse thieves on the grassland, which was a bit of a surprise.
Qin Mumo calculated the time. Although he was lying in a tent and messing around with two women last night, Qin Cao was not idle. He led his men to set up many pits and various obstacles around the horse thief's station overnight. In order to prevent Maodun Shanyu's offensive route.
At this time, Qin Mu was located in the depths of the grassland. In order to restrain Maodun Shanyu's troops here, Qin Mu did not ask Han Xin to send troops in advance. He believed that the camp he set up could be guarded for three days with more than 10,000 fierce horse thieves. In just three days, Han Xin's army could reach the depths of the grassland from Qin Pass.
At that time, even if Maodun wanted to retreat and hide in the depths of the grassland, it would be impossible.
Woo--
The low trumpet sound pierced the sky. Maodun's cavalry began to move forward slowly. There was no general order from the Huns to persuade the surrender. Because they knew how vicious this group of horse thieves were. Several times the messengers who persuaded surrender were all hung on the flagpole and dried up.
"Kill!" Maodun Shanyu ordered.
The so-called king's anger will cause blood to flow away from the pestle.
Maodun is the perfect king on the prairie. Now he says killing. That is killing.
The Hun cavalry shouted wildly and launched an attack on the horse thieves guarding the outside of the garrison. The horse thieves held various bows in their hands. Arrows of varying lengths instantly poured down towards the Hun cavalry.
It can be seen that these horse thieves are indeed defending the dead.
"I will clear out these horse thieves who disrupted the grassland within an hour." Maodun's eyes were on fire. He thought of the beauty on the bed, Princess Green Bamboo.
There is a knot in Maodun's heart. Because there is no airtight wall in the world. Many people on the grassland say that the recently rising horse thief leader is the former young king of Daqin. It was this guy who made Luzhu pregnant with a child. Ji Zhu is a Qin native, not a descendant of the eagle on the grassland.
This kind of words will naturally be heard by Maodun. His eyes will be about to be glared. Some people have long said that Xiaojizhu is not like their Hu people, but instead has the elegance of the Qin people. Maodun didn't care at first, thinking that it was just following his mother. But when rumors spread, Maodun couldn't stand it anymore. If it weren't for this, Maodun wouldn't have personally led his troops to wipe out Qin Mu's horse thieves.
As the bow and arrow shot, the Huns' cavalry threw down a large number of corpses and pushed the battle formation to the periphery of the horse thief's territorial camp. The horse thieves guarding the periphery retreated one after another and retreated to the second layer of the defense line of the territorial camp.
The Hun cavalry cut off the heads of the horse thieves who were injured and left on the periphery, and roared with might.
Looking at the arrogant Hun cavalry, Qin Mu showed a hint of ridicule on his lips. Could it be that these blind Huns really didn't notice that there were wooden defensive stakes and haystacks everywhere in the outer garrison they conquered. Especially those haystacks. Qin Mu had already put people on exquisite fish paste oil.
This kind of thing is extremely valuable. It was sent by Qin Mu and Hu Hai many times before they were sent by the caravan of Daqin little by little.
Nowadays, under the protection of this station, there are dry firewood and dry grass covered with fish paste oil.
Just as the Hun cavalry was cheering, Qin Mu personally took the bow from Qin Cao, lit a rocket on the torch that had been prepared below, and shot it into the air.
His arrow drew a beautiful parabola in the air. It landed accurately on a pile of hay. The hay with fish paste oil met the rocket and immediately rose up.
Qin Mu's arrow was a signal. As his rockets took off, all the horse thieves who were good at shooting archery began to shoot rockets one after another. A pile of dry firewood was ignited by the rockets.
The Hun cavalry, who had just shown their power, wailed in the fire at this moment. Some people were stained with fish ointment, and the fire instantly swallowed him. The war horses and the wailing sounds of people mixed together.
The Hun cavalry rushed forward and the front retreated. Under the fire, many people trampled on each other and died.
The sky-sky fire ignited all around. Qin Mu trapped himself in a huge circle of fire. In the center of their base, there was a natural bubble of water. At this time, all the horse thieves gathered around the bubble, looking at the rolling flames around them, and silently. Everyone knew that although setting fires around their base temporarily blocked the enemy, they also trapped themselves in the fire and had no way to escape.
The reason why these horse thieves did not object was that since they followed Qin Mu, not only gold, silver, treasures and women on the grassland have obtained many. More importantly, Qin Mu seems to have never made any mistakes in making decisions.
Maodun outside looked at the sky-sky fire, smiled and scolded the generals around him: "It's just a group of mobs. He didn't leave a way out for himself. Haha, although the fire blocked us, they couldn't escape. Just wait for the fire to be extinguished, our army advanced and poked the horse thieves to ashes."
Immediately someone flattered him and called him wise and powerful.
The fire that Qin Mu set off for more than an hour was burning, and then it was a tendency to weaken. However, although the fire was extinguished, the cow dung buried under the firewood pile also burned in the fire.
These things cannot burn at a very high temperature, but they will produce a large amount of thick smoke. Especially the wolf manure, the smoke produced will not disperse and soar straight into the sky, even if it is dozens of miles away, you can see it clearly.
When black smoke emerged from one place and rose into the sky, Qin Mu smiled and shouted loudly: "The smoke is rising. If the Huns dare to attack at this time, we will destroy them in the thick smoke."
Shanyu looked at the thick smoke, sneered, and shouted: "It's okay for me, the warriors of the Huns, the fire is fine. At this moment, there is just thick smoke in front of me. How can I stop the footsteps of my grassland eagle and kill!"
The Huns rushed into the thick smoke again, and what awaited them were the bows and arrows shot out by the horse thieves in chaos. The casualties and injuries in the thick smoke became even more tragic.
The Huns, who were red-eyed, thought Qin Mu set fire and set off smoke to stop their attack, but no one expected that wolf dung has always been a must-have item on the beacon tower. Because the smoke it burned has been called wolf smoke since ancient times.
Wolf smoke, that is a signal to ask for help from the reinforcements.
