Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 579
Several personal guards left in response, and in a pit not far away, five surviving Huns were struggling in pain. In their eyes, the previous arrogance had long since disappeared, and it was replaced by endless fear and despair. Imagine that the Han Chinese who have always been looked down upon by them as "sheep" have such a terrifying side.

The Han people are "sheep" with the nature of sheep. Even if there is only one wolf, as long as the "leader sheep" is controlled, the whole flock will follow obediently. Even if there is a fire pit in front, the flock will sing praises and die heroically.

For hundreds of years, the strategy adopted by the Huns against the Han people was aggression!At best, the Han people only sent troops to fight a just war with the Huns' army. After winning, they would "righteously" pardon the Huns' capital crimes, and hoped to influence the Huns.

These Huns were educated since they were young, that killing Han people is an honor, and killing Han people is meritorious, and the worst result is that the Han people counterattacked and died, and the relatives behind them, the people of the Huns behind them, and the army of the Han people It will not hurt.

But now, they really realized that the emperor of the Dazhong Empire didn't just want to defeat the Huns, nor did he just want to expel the Huns.

"... whoever is my enemy,... whoever betrays me, I will slaughter all of my people!!"

The real fear of the five dying Huns at this moment is their fear of the imminent extinction of the race, but they can only helplessly die slowly.

The pit was already filled with a layer of dark red blood, which began to seep below the sand.

None of the five Huns' bodies were complete, and all their limbs were cut off. When the blood dries up, it is their death time.

At this time, several of Yuan Yao's personal guards came over with their knives in hand, and there were several clicks, and five heads rolled to the side.

"It's cheaper for these Huns!" A guard muttered, kicking a head that had rolled out of the pit back into the pit, and stabbing it in the sand again, trying to dig up some sand to cover the corpse.

"What are you doing?" A corporal leader in the personal guard asked in surprise.

"Bury it!... Otherwise, there will be flies, how disgusting, corporal, don't you think that I have good intentions and can't bear to see his corpse in the wilderness?" The guard laughed.

"Are you full, kid?!... There are many hungry birds in this desert. Tomorrow, in less than a day, there will only be bones left here!! Let's go back as soon as possible to report to His Majesty. Let's go!" The corporal leader had an expression of hatred for iron and steel.

"Hehe, brother, you should have a little kindness to care for birds. After all, these birds are also a species of my Dazhong Empire,..."

……

The next day, the scouts of Yuan Yaojun and Zhou Cangjun were finally able to cross the desert along the Yuzhen River smoothly.

"Tell me the order to destroy Chigu City immediately!!" Yuan Yao ordered immediately.

"Obey!! Your Majesty!!"

"Perak Car Camp, launch all our Perak cars, give me a hard bang!!"

"The emperor has an order!! Chigu City must not leave anyone alive!!"

Roar!Roar! !Roar! ! !

The east, south, and north of Chigu City erupted with thunderous roars at this moment, and the anger that was suppressed by Yuan Yao before suddenly erupted like a volcano at this moment! !
"The barbarians are not destroyed! The Han people are restless! Kill!!"

"Long live the Great Zhong Empire!!"

boom! !

Pulled by dozens of soldiers, the first thunderbolt chariot was thrown high with a big gunpowder bomb, flying towards Chigu City with a whistling sound! !

Although the Huns are good at bows and arrows, Yuan Yao's army is all out of the range of bows and arrows at this time.

The range of the thunderbolt car far exceeds the range of the catapult, and even exceeds the range of the bow and arrow.

"Ignite! Launch!!"

As thunderbolt cars were pushed forward, gunpowder bombs with sparks were thrown out one after another, drawing frightening curves in the sky. These curves were left by the burning fuse of the gunpowder bombs. Ahead is the gate of Chigu City!

Boom, boom...! ! !
Several gunpowder bombs just hit the city gate, and two of the gunpowder bombs were bounced back by the city gate before they had time to explode. The city gate didn't do much damage.

When only one gunpowder bomb happened to touch the city gate, it exploded violently, and immediately smashed rocks, the whole city gate shook for a while, and a large amount of dust fell, but the city gate was not blasted open.

"This is not an ordinary stone bomb!!" The guarding general of Chigu City was taken aback. He felt the vibration coming from his feet, and knowing something was wrong, he hurriedly crouched behind the wall.

"I'm afraid Chigu City will fall soon! What should I do?" The guard hid behind the wall, terrified.

At this time, several gunpowder bombs were thrown, the city gate trembled continuously, and there was a creaking sound. Dozens of Huns who were desperately supporting the city gate with their shoulders were shaken backwards, and several people gasped. He spat out blood and passed out.

"Report! The city gate was severely damaged!!" a Huns centurion shouted loudly.

The face of the Hun guard changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth fiercely, stood up, and shouted loudly: "Hold on!! Even if you use corpses to block it, you must block the city gate!! Chanyu has an order, if we can hold it The enemy for more than ten days, our family will live a life of glory and wealth because of the meritorious deeds!!"

"For our loved ones!! We fought hard!!" The Xiongnu soldiers roared angrily, got up from the ground, and stood against the city gate again.

Suddenly, a gunpowder bomb whizzed straight at the Hun guard, and before he had time to react, it hit his thigh fiercely, and there was a burst of intensive bone fractures, and the Hun guard's entire body was severely deformed, like a broken piece. The cloth-like quilt fell backwards!

boom! !

There was a flash of flames, and the Huns guarded the future and screamed in pain. In an instant, their bodies were smashed into pieces and turned into a cloud of blood mist. Then, with a bang, a bloody head fell off. The man who was standing here just now shouted loudly. The shouting general of the Xiongnu has been wiped out.

Yuan Yao had already boarded a high platform at this time, and he could clearly see everything that happened at the city gate.

No, if this continues, not only will a lot of gunpowder be wasted, but the final result will be that the city wall will be blasted, and the soldiers and people in the city who have nowhere to escape will swarm in, which will bring more casualties to our army! !
Isn't the enemy huddled in the city and doesn't want to fight, and is also afraid that the city gate will be smashed by our army?
Well, now there is a best way, that is, to satisfy the enemy's ideas, let them stay in the city, and taste the taste of beating dogs behind closed doors.

"Artillery Battalion, listen to my orders, immediately stop attacking the city gates and walls, change the attack target, and freely drop bombs into the city!!" Yuan Yao shouted loudly.

"Obey! Your Majesty!!"

On the side, the sound of drums changed immediately.

Before the formation, the artillery battalion that was preparing to launch stopped all their movements and looked towards the high platform. On the high platform, the messengers played the corresponding semaphore and waved the command flag non-stop.
