Chapter 424 Stealing the camp, drums of war(1/2)
The Xiongnu general held the pine needle war gun with both hands. The strength in his body exploded, and the veins on his arms bulged, and he tried to break it.
The bronze handle of the war gun left light fingerprints, but the pine needle blade at the front was not damaged at all.
"It's really hard."
Inside the tent, a general from the Guifang tribe said: "I'll give it a try."
He stretched out his hand, and the shadow behind him actually stood up and became almost ten feet tall. It was extremely strange, and the black air around him was steaming like a flame.
call!
The shadow exhaled a dark breath and fell on the pine needle war gun.
However, the lines on the gun tip are flowing and there is still no damage.
"Take this gun off and find its weakness..."
Luotian Heda frowned slightly and ordered: "All the ministries should go down as well and act according to the agreement."
The moment he finished speaking, the battle spear suddenly changed and broke free from the grasp of the Huns general...
The Hun general who was closest to the war spear and the Guifang general on the side were instantly pierced between the eyebrows by a green edge spit out from the front of the war spear.
A hole as thick as a little finger appeared on their foreheads, piercing from the front and coming out from the back of their heads.
The next moment, the war gun rose into the air and pierced directly into Heda.
Clang!
The armguard worn on Luotian Heda's wrist glowed, and then the light was quickly penetrated, but it successfully slowed down the speed of the battle gun, giving him a chance to dodge.
Clang!
In a very short period of time, the war guns launched continuous offensives against Lunda Heda.
However, at this time, the Xiongnu generals in the account took action one after another.
As if it knew that it had missed the opportunity to kill Lunda Heda, the war gun suddenly rose into the air, penetrated the top of the tent, and disappeared.
This series of changes happened at lightning speed, as fast as lightning.
The battle spears were gone, and only a few Xiongnu generals who had been condemned to death were left in the king's tent. The smell of blood was pungent.
Heda's face was gloomy. If he had made a slight mistake just now, he would have been splattered with blood five steps ago.
This was obviously a murderous plot designed by the Qin people.
The war gun was deliberately captured and then controlled from a distance, taking the opportunity to come to the Xiongnu camp to commit murder.
This method of attack and killing is very accidental. It is not necessarily aimed at Luotang Heda, but whoever comes to check this captured war gun will be killed!
Heda said: "The opponent is hiding in the dark and controlling the gun. I am afraid that he is not far from our army's tent. Search within twenty miles outside the tent immediately!"
Outside the king's tent, the Xiongnu troops and horses dispersed on horseback and started searching.
At this moment, behind a low hill more than ten miles away from the Xiongnu king's tent, there was a scout team of the Qin army hiding.
Ding Yan and Ding Bazhi were a scout chief of the Qin Army.
He is twenty-eight years old this year.
Previously, he had led his scouts to make meritorious deeds in the battles in charge of alignment, and was praised by Zhao Huaizhong.
After the Battle of Qi, Ding Yan was promoted to a level and now has as many as a hundred scouts under his command.
This time, the strategy of deliberately letting the pine needle war gun be captured by the Xiongnu and taking the opportunity to assassinate the Xiongnu general was planned by Ding Yan.
If you want to launch this strategy, you need to keep a certain distance from the Pine Needle War Gun.
Therefore, Ding Yan led more than ten elite soldiers under his command and relied on his many years of experience as a scout to successfully sneak into the Huns' defense line and penetrate all the way to the Xiongnu camp more than ten miles away.
At this time, he was lying on a low hill, his eyes lightly closed, and he was sensing the war gun from a distance.
Beside him were more than ten Qin soldiers.
And beside these ten Qin troops, there were also more than ten war horses that were completely black and without any variegated colors.
Even the dozen or so war horses were well-trained and lying on the ground, their round eyes like their masters, staring in the direction of the Huns' tent.
"Lieutenant, how's it going?"
Next to Ding Yan is his old partner and deputy Cao Erqing.
At this moment, a little green light broke through the sky and returned.
It was the pine needle war gun.
Ding Yan lightly hammered the ground, regretting that he had not been able to seize the opportunity and assassinate Luo Dan Heda.
His original intention was to be able to attack and kill one or two high-ranking Xiongnu generals, and he would be satisfied. He did not expect that Luotian Heda would personally inspect the pine needle war gun in the king's tent.
Ding Yan had been waiting for an opportunity through the induction with the battle gun, hoping that Luo Tie Heda could personally hold and inspect the battle gun, but unfortunately...it was just a little bit close.
He was limited by his own strength, and the attack and killing just now was already the limit, which was indeed a pity.
"Almost killed the Huns general Luotangheda."
Ding Yan's hand, which only had three fingers left, hammered the ground again.
He immediately caught the returned pine needle war gun and held it tightly in his hand.
All scouts are required to be lightly armed and simple, so all they carry are short guns.
Ding Yan's short spear is less than five feet long, with a pine needle three feet long at the front and a handle nearly two feet long. The body of the gun is slender and light.
Because pine needles are shed by the innate five-needle pine, they naturally have good magic adhesion, so elite military strategists who have reached a certain level of practice can use them as soul soldiers through sacrifice.
With spiritual thoughts attached to it, it can be controlled like a flying sword.
Moreover, thanks to the attributes of the innate spiritual creature, there was no abnormal fluctuation before activation, thus creating the process of attacking the camp and assassinating just now.
The other dozen or so scouts looked envious when they saw Ding Yan's short spear returning through the air.
They can only control the pine needle war gun away from the body within a short distance. Only Ding Yan can control the short gun to kill the enemy at a long distance.
After being engraved with the secret text of its origin, this kind of innate war gun has been upgraded to a new stage in terms of armor penetration and hardness. As a result, the Qin army's combat effectiveness has increased by more than a tiny bit.
This was also the reason why Ding Yan was so bold that he led a small team of scouts under his command and dared to penetrate more than ten miles away from the Xiongnu camp.
"The Huns will chase them immediately, let's retreat!" Ding Yan said.
"It's rare to come in. The Huns must not have thought that we would dare to continue to move forward. Commander, why don't we continue to approach the Xiongnu camp and see if we can catch a big fish." Cao Erqing licked his chapped lips and suggested in a low voice.
The other Qin soldiers all looked at Ding Yan with excited expressions.
"You think the Huns are made of clay, and you can touch them if you want.
The surprise attack just now was based on surprise, and if we go any further, we will die. Are there about ten of us going to the Huns' tent to steal a camp?
Get out quickly!"
Ding Yan stood up and cursed: "I brought you guys in without permission, which has violated the military order. Fortunately, I killed a few Xiongnu generals, maybe the merits and demerits can be offset."
Several other scouts quickly followed suit.
The horses beside them also stood up from the ground.
As soon as these more than ten horses stood up, their backs were nearly two meters above the ground. They were all tall horses. They were too strong to look like. The muscles on their legs were like small snakes coiled together. The horses' hooves were bigger than a sea bowl. Two laps.
These more than ten horses are the Great Qin Night Beast, first-class horses specially equipped for the imperial army and scouts.
At this time, the thunderous sound of horse hooves came from the distance, and the Huns cavalry were thoroughly investigating the surroundings.
Ding Yan and a group of twelve people got on their horses.
Bah!
There was a goshawk raised by the Huns soaring in the sky. It had spotted Ding Yan and his party and sounded a warning.
Ding Yan scolded lightly: "Let the horses and caltrops go, and we will have a fight with these Xiongnu pursuers."
"promise!"
Cao Erqing and other scouts immediately took out the leather bag they were carrying, and poured out green spherical objects, which scattered in the grass.
This spherical object is a plant fruit cultivated by Shen Nong.
It is the size of a fist and is full of barbs. It will explode after being stepped on. The force of the explosion is used to spread the spike-like seeds inside. The power of the explosion in the process is very considerable, so it was adopted by the Qin army.
This kind of tribulus is used to create traps and resist pursuing troops. It is one of the "magic weapons" carried by Qin army scouts.
After Cao Erqing and others scattered the tribulus balls, they immediately rode away.
From behind, more than a hundred Huns soldiers shouted in unison and quickly chased after them.
The leading Xiongnu general pointed his whip at the backs of Ding Yan and others: "Catch up and capture the Qin army alive."
"Howl howl~"
The whole team of Xiongnu soldiers roared in unison, and with great momentum, they rode in hot pursuit.
Crack!
The sound of explosions suddenly sounded, but they caught up to the position where the Qin army dropped the caltrops.
To be continued...
