Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 535 The Last Warring States Period
Not long after Li Mu entered the county guard's mansion, the Xiongnu cavalry replaced the Donghu prisoners and killed them on the top of the city.

Under the impact of the Xiongnu elite who were recharging their energy, the already crumbling Juyang City could not hold on in less than half an hour and was captured by the Huns.

According to Li Mu's previous order, the remaining Qin army immediately turned to various alleys and houses in Juyang to start street fighting.

At this time, the main force of the Xiongnu began to rush towards the city of Juyang on a large scale uncontrollably. According to the experience of the previous cities, once the city wall was broken, the remaining Qin army would not pose much threat to the Huns.

By rushing into the urban area earlier, they would be able to snatch the wealth of the Qin people and the beautiful southern women.

Naturally, those Donghu captives would not be able to take such a good job, and now their task was to clean up the corpses that were about to reach the height of the city wall under the guard of thousands of Hun cavalry.

However, after most of the Huns rushed into Juyang City, they discovered that Juyang City is now a completely empty city!

Not to mention wealth and food, except for Qin Jun hiding at the entrance of the alley, not even a single figure can be seen.

The only strange thing is that there is a pungent black water everywhere in the city, even on the houses on both sides of the road.

The unreconciled Huns immediately dispersed and searched all corners of Juyang City, trying to find some fish that slipped through the net.

Modu didn't interfere much in this regard. It was one of the traditions of the Huns to allow free looting after winning a battle.

The first direction to be cleared is naturally the direction of the city gate. After the Donghu captives cleared the city gate and washed away the blood all over the ground, Mao Dun rode his horse and entered Juyang City as a victor.

However, as soon as he entered Juyang, he saw a Hun warrior galloping towards Modu and whispered a few words in Modu's ear.

Listening to this, Mao Dun's face became gloomy visible to the naked eye.

"Go to the Sheriff's Mansion!" Mao Dun ordered.

Immediately Dama led his pro-military guards and galloped in the direction of the Sheriff's Mansion.

Not long after, Mao Dun arrived at the destination, and the most obvious thing at a glance was the handsome flag standing tall on the roof of the main hall of the mansion.

"What's going on?" Mouton asked.

"Reporting to the Chanyu, the enemy chieftain Li Mu led some remnant soldiers to stand firm in this house when the city was broken." Seeing Mao Dun's question, the Huns who arrived one step earlier immediately reported: "There is no order from the Chanyu. We had no choice but to gather here and never storm this mansion."

"I want to see Li Mu's body in half an hour!" After hearing this, Mao Dun silently waved his hand while still riding on his standing horse. "The first one to get that flag will reward the centurion and ten female slaves!"

Hearing Maodun's order, the Xiongnu sergeant who had been waiting around the Sheriff's Mansion for a long time rushed towards the Sheriff's Mansion, howling like a pack of wolves seeing meat.

After all, even if the Huns dug three feet into the ground, they didn't find much loot in the city, and the only place left that was most likely to store a large amount of supplies was this mansion.

Although the county guard's mansion has been temporarily reinforced in the past few days, no matter how reinforced it is, it is incomparable to the city wall, and there are not many remaining soldiers of the Qin army in the mansion who are worthy of a battle.

It didn't take long for the Xiongnu Ren to break through the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion from the outside to the inside. Rao, the soldiers of the Qin Army who were still able to fight in the mansion tried their best to stop them, but facing the continuous stream of Huns, they were like mantises.

Not long after, Mao Dun strode into the courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion proudly. When Mao Dun came in, the quick-legged Hun warrior climbed up to the roof and took down Li Mu's handsome flag and handed it to Mao Dun. pause.

"Where is Li Mu?" Mo Dun asked.

"In the main hall." A clever Hun warrior replied: "They resisted, we just sent someone to guard him."

"Lead the way ahead." Hearing this, Mao Dun was shocked immediately. What he didn't expect was that he could catch Li Mu alive.

Being able to capture Li Mu, who was "notorious" in the Xiongnu, his reputation among the great tribes of the Huns will surely reach a new height.

And if Li Mu can be allowed to surrender himself, with his deterrent power, I am afraid that no tribe will dare to disrespect him from now on.

Mao Dun walked lightly to the hall where Li Mu was, and saw Li Mu, who had white hair and beard but was still in good spirits, sitting kneeling beside a table in the hall, drinking a cup of fine wine to himself.

Around him, a pair of about 20 Hun warriors held long swords and surrounded him in a circle.

If you look carefully at the hands and feet of these Hun warriors, there is even a slight tremor in their foreheads.

After all, the old man in front of him is "the famous "Li Butcher" in the grassland. Their generation grew up with the legend of how cruel Li Butcher was from their parents.

Hearing Maodu's footsteps, these Huns immediately made way for Maodu.

"Good wine, good wine, this is the fine wine that this old man has treasured for many years. If it weren't for today, I would not be willing to be so cheap. Da Shanyu will also taste it, and I won't be able to drink it in the future." The majestic and majestic appearance of the arrow frightened the enemy, and he looked completely like a bad old man who was greedy for alcohol.

"My great Xiongnu has a radius of thousands of miles. Is there any kind of fine wine?" Mo Dun looked at Li Mu and said, "If General Li is willing to surrender to my Huns, I can make the general the second king, and the position is only under me. The general thinks how?"

However, Li Mu just glanced at the handsome flag still in Maodun's hand, smiled mysteriously and said, "Da Shanyu should drink a glass of old wine, there is no such good wine on Huangquan Road!"

After speaking, Li Mu raised his head and drank another cup.

"What did you say, old man?" After Li Mu finished speaking, a Hun nobleman next to Mouton scolded viciously.

"What am I talking about, Mouton, you'll know when you look outside!" Li Mu glanced at the outside and said cheerfully.

When everyone in the room looked out, they were shocked!

I saw that strands of thick smoke had risen around Juyang City and expanded towards the surroundings at an extremely fast speed!

"Withdraw!" After looking at it, the rest of the people hadn't reacted yet, Mao Dun immediately yelled and was the first to turn his head and rush outside.

Although I don't know what method the Qin army used to make the fire spread so quickly, Maodun knew that he had to rush out of Juyang City as soon as possible. No scruples.

When Maodun rushed into the courtyard, he could still hear Li Mu's incomparably cheerful words: "This old man has fought all his life, and at the end, he will die with a hundred thousand Hu captives, what a joy!"

The black water used by Li Mu is the oil used by Ziying to burn Jicheng. When Ziying burned Jicheng, Li Mu had already lived in seclusion in Raoyang according to Ziying's arrangement. However, the oil was originally produced in Ziying's fief. , not far from Li Mu's hermitage.

After the incident in Jicheng, Li Mu noticed that black water burns quickly and is indestructible.

This time the Xiongnu came aggressively, not only gathering more than [-] elite Xiongnu, but also expelling hundreds of thousands of Donghu captives as cannon fodder.

If you follow the normal combat method and fight and retreat, you can certainly hold back the Huns slowly by strengthening the walls and clearing the field, but it will not cause too much loss to the Huns cavalry, and the loss will be on the side of Daqin.

So Li Mubing made a dangerous move, using himself and five thousand soldiers of the Qin army as bait, and ordered people to pour oil into every corner of Juyang City when the city wall was about to be broken.

The reason why Li Mu stayed at the county guard's mansion in the end was also to prevent Maodun from entering Juyang, and used himself as a bait to lure Maodun to the very center of Juyang.

And the towering handsome flag is the signal to ignite the fire. Once the handsome flag falls, it means that the last defensive force has been defeated, and the soldiers of the Qin army who hid in the hidden places in the city in advance can light the fire.
