Qi Tian couldn't help but ask: "General Yue Qing, how many soldiers do you have in total now?"
Yue Qing replied: "There are about a hundred people, what's the matter?"
"More than a hundred people..." Qi Tian frowned and said,
"To be honest, General Yue Qing, there are almost a hundred people in our hunting team. In this case, the total number of our two sides is only two hundred. And I heard that there are at least a thousand Huns under Nakov's command.
Soldier, do you think we can beat them if we go head-to-head?"
"Instead of dying like moths rushing to the flames, we might as well stay in the back mountains and wait for reinforcements from His Highness King Yan."
Yue Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Qitian, if you expect our Highness, Prince Yan, to drive away the Xiongnu, I'm afraid we will have to stay here in the back mountains for the rest of our lives."
Qi Tian was stunned: "General Yue Qing, what do you mean by this?"
Yue Qing sighed and said: "As far as I know, our Prince Yan has almost the same virtue as Jia Gou. He is afraid of the Huns to the core."
"Before he came to power, the foreigners outside the Great Wall would still make offerings to our court every year. After he came to power, we, the people of Youzhou, had to pay money and food to the Xiongnu every year..."
Good guy?!
After Qi Tian heard this, he was very confused and said: "Why would the imperial court let such a person guard the border? Doesn't it mean that His Highness the King of Yan is capable of both civil and military skills?"
Yue Qing sneered and said: "Oh, you are wrong. Not only our Highness the King of Yan, but also the princes from other states are not capable. The reason why they can guard the border is just because of their clan name Xiao."
It’s just status.”
Qi Tian remained speechless.
He once heard nonsense about how the founding emperor of Dafeng, Xiao Yan, was so wise and powerful, but after he unified the world, Xiao Yan let his stupid son Xiao Zhong inherit the throne, and entrusted his brothers from the same clan who had no ability to guard the king.
If we govern the world in this way, how can the world not be in chaos?
It seems that this Tai'an Emperor Xiao Yan is not as powerful as the legend, but he can only conquer the world, but not rule it...
"Qitian, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Qi Tian remained silent, Yue Qing couldn't help but ask.
Qi Tian quickly shook his head: "No, it's nothing. According to what General Yue Qing said, that Yan King Xiao Shun really can't be counted on..."
"Yes, but we don't have to count on him. We can definitely drive the Huns out with our own strength." Yue Qing encouraged him.
The reason why Yue Qing spoke like this was because he wanted to win over Qi Tian's hunting team to join him, so that he would have a better chance of winning against the Huns.
Qi Tian frowned and said: "But, General Yue Qing, our two sides together only have two hundred people. I'm afraid there is no way we can be the opponent of the Kofu Hun army, right?"
As a modern special forces soldier, Qitian's skills are certainly good, but he will definitely not be able to compete with the entire Xiongnu army.
Hearing the huge surprise from his own side and the Huns, Yue Qing did not give in at all, but said cheerfully: "It depends on people, and we are not facing so many Huns from Kofu at once. We can use guerrilla tactics and divide our troops.
If you can harass us, we will fight. If we can't, we will run back to the mountains behind."
"You have killed the Hun general Ning Lu and the traitor Pang Ru'an one after another. Are you still afraid of Ke Fu?"
Yue Qing's next words were a bit provocative, but Qi Tian said extremely calmly: "Of course you are not afraid of fear, but we must plan carefully, when to fight, how to fight, we can't just take it one step at a time.
Right?"
Yue Qing nodded and said: "That's a good thing. Alas, it's a pity. I'll lead the army to fight, but if you talk about strategic planning, I'm totally confused. After escaping from Ma City, I've always taken one step at a time.
Take a look... Qi Tian, do you have any ideas? Feel free to tell me."
Qitian took a breath and said seriously: "The difference between us and the Xiongnu is that firstly, we are not as numerous as the Xiongnu, and secondly, in terms of body, our Dafeng soldiers are not as strong as the Xiongnu soldiers. These are our two major shortcomings."
"Since the bodies and numbers are not as good as those of the Huns, we have to start with equipment. The repeating crossbows equipped by our hunting team members are all made by me. When we come back, I will give them to each of the soldiers under your command, General Yue Qing."
Make one."
Yue Qing had long been eager to see the repeating crossbows equipped by Qi Tian and others that could be fired continuously. Now that he heard that Qi Tian also made one for each of his soldiers, he immediately nodded happily and said: "Okay."
Qi Tian sighed and said: "It's just a pity. The power of the serial crossbow is true, but I still have more powerful weapons that can be made. Some time ago, I asked Mr. Xiao Yu to help me purchase the materials for making weapons. It's a pity that
Before Young Master Xiao Yu gave it to me, the Xiongnu began to invade..."
"You mean Mr. Xiao Yu?" Yue Qing's eyes lit up.
Qi Tian nodded: "Yes, does General Yue Qing have any news about him?"
Although Hu Yan had told Qi Tian to have less contact with Xiao Yu before leaving, Qi Tian felt that Xiao Yu was a good person. After learning that the Huns had occupied Ma City, Qi Tian was worried about his safety...
After all, the Xiongnu were famous for their burning, killing and looting. As a wealthy family, Xiao Yu might be targeted.
But Yue Qing smiled and did not answer Qi Tian's question, but said mysteriously: "Follow me."
What?!
Qitian was puzzled, but he still followed Yue Qing's footsteps.
Soon, they came to a cave halfway up the mountain.
After entering the cave, Qi Tian was completely shocked, because it was full of people from Macheng, and these people were wearing gold and silver, and they looked like wealthy people.
"Otherwise, how can we say that rich people are smart..." Yue Qing sighed slightly, "After hearing the news of the Xiongnu attack, all these rich people moved their families and private property to the back mountains."
I see……
Qi Tian thought to himself that all the rich households in Ma City had taken refuge in the back mountains. In other words, the only people who fell into the hands of the Xiongnu were poor people...
Qi Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Qitian was in a daze again, Yue Qing patted him on the shoulder again.
Only then did Qi Tian come back to his senses and replied: "No, it's nothing. I wonder why General Yue Qing brought me here. Do you want to pay a visit to that rich family?"
Yue Qing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly and said: "Little brother Qitian, why do I feel that you are quite smart sometimes, and sometimes I feel you are not very smart..."
Qi Tian was confused and asked: "What do you mean?"
Yue Qing did not answer Qi Tian's question. He stretched out his finger and pointed not far away: "Look, who is that?"
