Chapter 9: Burning the Xiongnu Main Camp

~8 min read 1,492 words

"Enemy..."

Two arrows flew out and instantly pierced through the throats of the two men.

The crisis was thus resolved.

"Big Brother, your archery is truly divine!"

The person who had just missed thought that their operation this time was going to fail because of him.

Fortunately, Chu Feng remedied it for him in time.

"Be careful, we are conducting a sneak attack now, there must not be the slightest mistake."

"Yes!"

After eliminating the patrols on the perimeter of the camp, the group immediately carried flammable materials and snuck inside.

The Xiongnu army had already fallen into a deep sleep by this moment, not noticing at all that danger was about to descend.

Of course, given their nature, they simply did not believe that the Wei Army would take advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack on them.

Because in their eyes, the Wei Army was just a group of rats hiding behind city walls.

These rats were useless for anything other than relying on the city walls.

Fighting them head-on was completely a matter of being crushed.

But tonight.

This group of opponents they regarded as rats brought them a very profound lesson.

"Lord Thousand-Man Commander, Centurion Chu has already successfully eliminated the enemy's hidden sentries and snuck inside."

"Good lad, you really have what it takes!"

Liang Zhou exclaimed in admiration.

He immediately led the rest of the men to launch the attack.

"Whoosh!"

A raging fire instantly ignited.

In an instant, it spread across the majority of the area.

Coupled with the fact that it was already autumn, the weather was dry and the northwest wind blew frequently, the Xiongnu camp was soon engulfed in a sea of fire.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

After the fire had spread across a considerable area, these arrogant Xiongnu finally reacted.

Because this fire came too suddenly.

Consequently, many Xiongnu were burned alive.

"Damn it, how did a fire start suddenly? Hurry up and put it out!"

The Xiongnu camp was in a complete mess at this moment.

Many generals immediately called for soldiers to hurry and extinguish the fire.

"Lord Colonel, look, a fire has started over at Thousand-Man Commander Liang's side!"

"Well done!"

The burning range of the fire on Liang Zhou's side far exceeded Tang Kai's expectations.

He never imagined that this guy Liang Zhou was actually quite skilled at setting fires.

"Brothers, it's time for us to act too, follow me!"

"Yes!"

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Xiongnu camp, Tang Kai also immediately led his men to launch a surprise attack.

In an instant.

The Xiongnu camp, which was already in a mess, became even more chaotic.

"What is going on?"

The Zuo Xian, who was having a sweet dream, was suddenly startled awake.

When he woke up, he discovered that his camp was already surrounded by fire.

"What exactly is the situation?"

"Great King, it's bad, Dingning Pass has launched a night sneak attack on our army!"

"What!"

The Zuo Xian was greatly shocked, not expecting that these rats actually had such courage, "Immediately assemble the troops for me, and wipe out all these rats who launched the sneak attack!"

"Yes!"

Combat orders were quickly issued to all locations.

The soldiers inside the camp were immediately divided into two groups.

One group went to extinguish the fire, and the other group went to wipe out these Wei soldiers who had come to sneak attack.

Dingning Pass.

General's Mansion.

"General, Colonel Tang and the others have succeeded!"

The Deputy General responsible for observing on the city wall immediately told Zhao Ping this good news.

"Oh? Is that so!"

Zhao Ping, who was sitting upright at the desk, stood up abruptly.

Before this, he had been worried about whether this raid on the camp would be successful.

Now, the heart he had been holding in suspense finally began to settle.

"Immediately notify Xu Hong, Peng Yuan, and the others; have them lead the Dingning Pass Iron Cavalry to add another fire to the Xiongnu camp. The goal is to harass, but the display must be made grand for me, so the Xiongnu mistakenly believe we are about to launch an assault."

"Buy time for the brothers who are raiding the camp."

"Yes!"

The order from Dingning Pass was also quickly issued.

Xu Hong and Peng Yuan, who had long been prepared, had already led the Dingning Pass Iron Cavalry and rushed toward the Xiongnu camp.

"I've been stifled for so long; I can finally have a good, satisfying slaughter!"

"The General only told us to go and harass, do not be careless!"

Xu Hong cautioned, "After all, our numbers are not at an advantage!"

"I know!"

Peng Yuan responded impatiently and continued, "If I don't kill a few hundred today, I won't be able to sleep when I get back!"

The Dingning Pass Iron Cavalry soon killed their way to the Xiongnu camp.

After charging in.

Peng Yuan brandished the great halberd in his hand and began a frantic slaughter: "You Xiongnu dog spawn, your Grandpa Peng is here!"

Relying on his own powerful Innate cultivation, added to the chaotic situation in the Xiongnu camp.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers died one after another at the hands of Peng Yuan.

Xu Hong also began to play his part at this moment.

His powerful strength killed a crowd of Xiongnu soldiers, making them wail and howl.

"Stop being so rampant here!"

The intense performance of the two naturally drew the attention of the Xiongnu powerhouses.

Bei Hu and another Xiongnu Innate powerhouse immediately came to stop them.

"If you have the ability, come and chase me!"

Xu Hong was quite cunning; he did not choose to fight the opponents head-on.

He specifically ran toward places with many people.

Because he knew the fluctuations from the battle of Innate powerhouses were enormous, and they could easily knock down a large area of ordinary soldiers.

Bei Hu was also incredibly frustrated.

This guy was just too damn slippery.

At the same time.

The situation on Chu Feng's side was also yielding a bountiful harvest.

Relying on the chaotic scene at the site.

Chu Feng led the group, killing as they ran.

Along the way, they also slaughtered quite a few Xiongnu soldiers.

At the same time, they also drew the attention of many Xiongnu soldiers because of this.

A large wave of Xiongnu soldiers chased behind their backs, swearing to eliminate this unit of theirs.

Unknowingly.

Chu Feng had actually led the team to the place where the Xiongnu stored their grain and fodder.

"Big Brother, this seems to be the place where the Xiongnu store their grain and fodder."

"Then burn it all for them; it will be just right to shake off these pursuers behind us!"

"Yes!"

The group immediately threw torches into the piles of firewood and grass.

In the blink of an eye.

A much larger flame was born.

"No, our grain and fodder!"

The Xiongnu soldiers who had caught up felt their hearts bleeding at this moment.

Grain and fodder were very precious to them; otherwise, they would not have gone south to attack Dingning Pass.

Thus, they immediately split off a portion of their manpower to fight the fire, while the other portion continued to chase and kill Chu Feng and the others.

"You Wei dog spawn, if you have the guts, don't run!"

The Xiongnu soldiers all had red eyes.

This group of Wei soldiers was simply too cunning.

They set fires while running, forcing them to have to split off a portion of their men to go and fight the fire.

"Those who block me die!"

Chu Feng charged and killed at the front alone.

The "Eighteen Wind-Chasing Sabers" was executed to the extreme by him.

Any Xiongnu soldier who blocked their path died under his saber.

Even so, there were still soldiers rushing toward them in an endless stream.

After all, this was the Xiongnu camp, with tens of thousands of troops.

Chu Feng led the team, retreating as they fought.

By now, the Xiongnu camp had been ravaged by them just about enough.

It was time for them to retreat quickly.

But the Xiongnu soldiers at the moment simply would not give them a chance to escape.

More and more people joined the camp to encircle and annihilate them.

Chu Feng and the others were gradually forced into a desperate situation.

"This is bad, Big Brother, the Xiongnu soldiers are all around us now, it seems we have been forced into a desperate situation!"

Chu Feng also noticed this situation.

Now there were Xiongnu soldiers everywhere, and they had absolutely no possibility of breaking out.

"Could it be that we are really going to perish here today?"

Chu Feng let his thoughts wander, beginning to search for a place where they could break through.

Finally, he discovered that they had actually run to the place where the Xiongnu fed their warhorses.
