The lonely cold wind swirled, blowing up clumps of snowflakes. The sound of whistling was like a ghost crying, and several Han scouts cautiously approached the silent village.

The mornings in the north are exceptionally cold, and the rising sun has not yet had time to warm people. It was cold, but the scouts' hearts were even colder. After nearly a hundred miles, they all had beads of sweat on their foreheads. But now their hearts are shivering.

Although they didn't quite believe in Xie Da and Xie Er's words, Shenmu's guards still sent twenty scouts, and they were ordered to do their best to find out what was going on. If there were really thousands of Huns in their defense area, it would be a big deal.

Who knows how many undiscovered Huns have sneaked in, and the Great Wall defense line has always been tight on the outside and loose on the inside. If it comes from the rear without preparation, God knows if it will hold it. If these Hun cavalry have any signs of attacking Shenmu, I am afraid they will have to let out wolf smoke and call for help.

The slaughter of the Huns has seen it, but it has never been so miserable. At the head of the village, a stripped female corpse hangs from the old locust tree, and the belly of the corpse is cut open, and the body of a fetus hangs next to the body of a pregnant woman. The frozen umbilical cord was still attached to the mother's body, and the poor child was ruthlessly taken away before he could see the world.

This is only a small part of the entire Wangjiazhuang, and the breath of death envelops the entire Wangjiazhuang. The eagles croaked in the trees, and the messengers of death would always gather where there were corpses.

It is no exaggeration to describe the devastation of this village, which is littered with corpses. It's in every yard. There are people and cattle. Many yards have traces of bonfires. There are bones of chickens and sheep scattered on the side, as well as internal organs that the Huns do not eat.

It seems that the Huns not only rested here, but also feasted on a plundered meal here. The scouts were very experienced in counting the number of bonfires, and from the number of bonfires, we can roughly deduce how many Huns there were. These were seasoned old scouts, and soon they deduced. Indeed, no less than a thousand Hun cavalry were stationed here.

Xie Da and Xie Er ran back home frantically, and the heart-rending cries rang out immediately.

The scouts couldn't bear to look at it, and they didn't dare to look at it. You can only go door to door to find out if there are any people alive. They wish there were, but everyone knew that there could be no living person in this dead village. These scouts are just doing their best.

The result was exactly the same as they imagined, there were no living people. Even the dog and the chicken didn't have a single one. Absolute chickens and dogs are not left. The scouts got on their horses. They need to report the situation to the guards of the sacred tree as much as possible. There was a group of thousands of Huns operating nearby, which also made them dare not stay for a long time.

Amu led the team to rush non-stop, and because he ran to the east bank of the Yellow River, he traveled south along Luliang Mountain. They will take more than 300 miles than the predetermined route, and the circle is a little bigger. But. Amu thinks it's worth it. After all, he avoided many Han army military villages along the way. Before reaching Yulin. He doesn't want to expose the target yet.

Then the soft moonlight. Amu hurried for a night's journey. The sound of the horses' hooves was blown by the cold wind, and by the time the red sun rose again, the scouts had already seen Yulin City in the distance.

Amu's face was covered with beads of sweat, and the horse's body seemed to be drenched in water. Such a team cannot fight. The men must be given a break.

"Let's go to that col and avoid the limelight. Tonight, we will burn down the Yulin camp. Amu pointed to a mountain col not far away.

It was already afternoon when the scouts returned to Shenmu, and the guards of Shenmu were shocked when they learned of the scene. However, since it was not the Huns attacking the city, it was not the time to cast wolf smoke. After thinking about it, Shou submitted a letter of repair to Shangfeng to know.

He didn't know that his delay had led to a catastrophe.

The Huns did not have a house to sleep in today, and many people were huddled together with horses to keep warm. Some clever guy pulled out the roast chicken from the leather bag, as well as the roasted lamb. These were all obtained from the Han family, and the jerky in the bag was dry and hard. It's nowhere near as good as this well-roasted, salt-sprinkled chicken.

Amu nibbled on half of the chicken, and moistened his throat with snow. Take a nap in a crack in a rock, probably the last rest. I don't know what kind of battle I will encounter next, as long as I attack the Yulin camp. The Han army will rush out to search for itself like a hornet's nest that has been stabbed. It was a dream to want to sleep like this at that time.

The messengers of the Han army were constantly running, conveying the warning signal of the activities of the Xiongnu army. By the time the messenger arrived in Yulin, it was already dark.

"General, my general has found out that there is a Huns of about 1,000 people who are operating at the foot of Luliang Mountain. The rest of the situation is to be investigated, and the general is also asked to be on guard. ”

In fact, the Yulin battalion is no longer considered a front line, and there are already several lines of defense in front of it. It is not easy for the Huns to break through a line of defense, let alone several.

So there was a lot of grain and grass hoarded here, but the defenders only had more than 3,000 people. The Yulin Guards were in charge of a large forage factory, as well as several warehouses stockpiling blades and grain. These warehouses supplied tens of thousands of garrisons along the Great Wall, and if this place was raided, it would really be a major event that would shake the whole world.

The Yulin guard was very nervous, and panicked and ordered his subordinates to strengthen their vigilance. However, it is too late to step up the vigilance at this time.

Before the order could be reached from the commander's tent, a row of moving torches appeared on the horizon. The sound of thunder rolling. The soldiers guarding the gate were stunned for a moment, they never expected that there would be so many cavalry here.

Could it be because there is something ahead, reinforcements sent by the imperial court? In such a hurry, it must be reinforcements. The guards thought so.

"Close the door, close the door quickly." The Yulin battalion guard looked in horror at the fire dragon that rushed towards him.

The soldiers guarding the village had just wanted to push it up to the gate of the village, when arrows rained down. One of the gatekeepers screamed and was shot through the head by an arrow.

Three or four corpses obstructed the closure of the gate, and Amuma rushed into the Yulin camp first.

A thousand Hun cavalry rushed into the camp like a flood, with their blades in one hand. With a torch in his hand, he either slashed with his blade or set fire to the tent and forage.

The forage stored in the winter is dry hay, which is lit by a torch and immediately ignites a fire that soars to the sky. The entire forage field soon became a burning torch, and the Yulin guards were guarded by his own personal soldiers. I hated myself why I didn't stay in the city today, and my life would be lost here.

Amu saw that the fire in the forage field could not be contained, and he did not fight when he whistled. The Hun cavalry blew out the forage camp like a gust of wind.

There are at least seven camps nearby, and there is no time to waste, so burn him a good one today.

When the Yulin guards saw that the Huns had retreated, they collapsed to the ground as soon as their bodies became weak. But he quickly reacted, clapping his hands on the ground and howling, "Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up and put out the fire." ”

The forage field was burned by the Huns, which was also a big crime. After the court investigates it, his head still has to be finished. But the fire has become a prairie fire, and no one has the ability to extinguish this monstrous fire. I'm afraid that at this time, only by inviting the dragon king can we extinguish this fire.

Where are the soldiers of the Han army willing to put out the fire, the fire that has heated the air in the forage field to the point that it can roast acquaintances. If you don't run at this time, I'm afraid you'll be roasted alive here.

The Yulin guard cried and watched the crowd fleeing, but he was also carried out by his own soldiers not long after. If you stay here, even the general will not be able to escape the fate of being roasted.

Amu's goal was the next barracks, which was far less sturdy than the forage barracks. The so-called fences are nothing more than wooden fences nailed together. However, the soldiers here saw that the forage camp was on fire, and a drum and bugle warning signal was sounded. The gate was closed for the first time, and it was as easy as it was to rush into the gate just now. It's basically impossible.

More than a dozen flying claws set up the so-called walled wall, and the Huns made a force. The wooden fence-like wall was pulled apart like a layer of soft eggs. Amu waved his hand, and the Hun soldiers rushed in again. In the face of this panicked Han army, the foot soldiers slashed and killed, and from time to time they used the torch of the other hand to directly ignite those military tents.

Bags of grain were piled up in tall sheds, and the Hun cavalry threw torches directly into them. Anyway, their main task is to set fires, and the bigger the fire, the more successful they are.

The defenders of Yulin numbered more than 3,000 men, but half of them were in the city. The six or seven large battalions outside the city were only guarded by more than 1,000 soldiers, and these Hun cavalry had an absolute advantage in numbers wherever they went. The frightened defenders were either killed or fled in the darkness of the night.

The defenders in Yulin City did not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle, but stood on the city wall nervously watching these Hun cavalry go back and forth. One by one, the warehouse camps were ignited, and the sky-high fire reflected a red sky. The scattered soldiers were just a black dot in the background light.

Amu's heart is very happy, he is like a child who loves to play with fire. There are so many flammable things in front of me today, and it is not a pleasure to burn. One by one, the barracks were breached by him, and then they were killed and burned.

The seven camps outside the city were all set on fire, and the sky-high fire carried billowing smoke into the clouds. The smell of roasted millet and wheat was in the air, and Amu knew that the grain would soon be scorched. Then it turns into black charcoal, which can no longer be eaten.

Seeing that all the camps were set on fire, Amu whistled and led the Hun cavalry to disappear into the night like the wind. Only the fireworks in the sky behind him were left. (To be continued......)
