Chapter 652: The Burning Camp
"Okay! Let's retreat and leave this place to the Northern Huns !" Han Shizhong said with a smile as he looked at the injured Pei Yuanqing.
Fortunately, they had Pei Yuanqing's help this time, otherwise they would not have been able to carry out the plan so smoothly.
Only someone as skilled in breaking through boundaries as Pei Yuanqing could use the tactic of inflicting pain on the battlefield so thoroughly.
At night, there were loud noises and lights in the Han army camp, which made the Northern Xiongnu extremely nervous, fearing that something might happen.
But by the next day, large numbers of Han troops began to retreat, leaving only a small number of Han troops defending the camp.
Although the Northern Huns tried to attack the camp, they were largely unsuccessful due to the suppression of the arrow tower. They were also unable to make up their minds to attack the Han army camp and could only continue to drag it out .
Anyway, they were invincible, and the task Attila gave them was to hold on.
However, Mao Yu, whose confidence was inflated, chose the most risky way. As more and more people praised him, he even began to believe it himself.
Subconsciously, he also regarded himself as a hero of the Northern Huns.
Everyone has ambition , and he naturally has one too.
Now the empty camp of the Han Dynasty was before him, and he had to think about whether this would be his only chance in this life.
He felt it was his duty to restore the glory of the Xiongnu Empire.
Under his leadership, tens of thousands of Northern Huns followed him to attack the empty camp at night.
The remaining Han soldiers fled in panic, but Mao Yu did not chase them. Instead, he carefully led his troops to quickly occupy the entire camp and took control of all the arrow towers in the camp.
They even seized the food that the Han Dynasty had no time to take away and successfully occupied the entire camp.
Everything was so reasonable and went so smoothly. The Northern Huns occupied the entire Han camp and quickly transferred all the old, weak and sick people into the camp.
The glorious victory blinded everyone's eyes. At this moment, Mao Yu's status in everyone's hearts had surpassed Attila.
When Attila returns, Mao Yu might really have a chance to compete with Attila for the position of the Huns' Khan. Even if he is not as good as Attila, he has a great chance of becoming the next Huns' Khan.
After all, compared with Attila, Mao Yu is still very young and he has enough time to wait.
But youth naturally means inexperience. They only believe what they see with their own eyes. They are confident that they can surpass their ancestors and restore the glory of the Xiongnu Empire.
The Northern Huns who occupied the Han camp had no time to rejoice for long before the returning Han army surrounded the area again.
Many Northern Huns had bad ideas in their minds, but they really didn't know what kind of strategy could kill millions of descendants of the Kunlun God.
The towering arrow tower gave them an unprecedented sense of security, but that night they understood everything.
"boom!"
A huge firework exploded in the sky, followed by tens of thousands of explosive arrows blasting in the camp, and an endless sea of fire began to spread throughout the camp.
In the camp, all the wooden buildings have been specially treated.
The hollow structure was used to the extreme by the Han Dynasty, and a series of flammable materials such as kerosene, tung oil, etc. were stuffed into various buildings.
Under normal circumstances, this approach will certainly not cause any problems, unless you deliberately set fire to the house, there will be no big problems at all.
This is also the reason why these Northern Huns moved into the camp with peace of mind. They are not fools, so they naturally checked the entire camp carefully as soon as possible to ensure that there would be no obvious hidden dangers.
But nomads are nomads after all, and they know very little about architecture. Such high-end things as hollow buildings are simply beyond their comprehension.
The originally safe building complex was completely turned into a graveyard for the Huns after the deliberate fire and explosive arrows appeared at the same time.
The next moment, this camp that originally gave people a sense of security instantly turned into a sea of fire. Unlike the fire resistance specially cultivated by the Northern Huns, all the wooden boards of the Han army were flammable.
If Yue Fei had not personally controlled the discipline of the entire army, they might have lost the fire before they even burned the Northern Huns.
When thousands of rockets fell into the camp, the fate of this camp was doomed. A large number of overhead structures were filled with oil-soaked wood shavings, a large amount of dead branches and hay, which were quickly stained. Along with it was the tung oil hidden in the hollow structure. The flames immediately spread all over the place and began to extend.
At the same time, the Han Dynasty on the outside used the military formation to stir up the clouds and cause a strong wind. In an instant, the wind helped the fire, and the flames that were already spreading wildly directly formed a fire dragon, and even formed a huge fire tornado due to air convection.
"Be on high alert and block all intersections!"
The camp covering thousands of acres began to spread in almost the time it took to drink a cup of tea. Yue Fei issued an order that since they had already prepared a grave for the Northern Huns, they should let this fire take the Northern Huns away completely.
After the fire started, the Northern Huns were in chaos. Countless of them ran madly towards the periphery. Countless people were trampled to death, but their speed was far slower than the flames, which made the Northern Huns completely crazy.
But no matter how crazy it was, it couldn't stop the fire that covered thousands of acres.
"The hometown of the Northern Huns can come to an end here!" Han Shizhong said while flying in the air, looking at the Huns and Hu people whose shadowy figures were running in the fire, then being ignited, and then burned to ashes.
After falling down, he was surrounded by Chen Dao and others.
"Have we lived in a camp like this before?" Chen Dao's scalp tingled, and he said in shock as he looked at the camp that was completely burned down in just a few breaths.
"You crazy people, aren't you afraid that we will be burned to death?" Qin Liangyu's scalp was tingling and her face was full of horror.
"Hasn't Yue Fei been repeatedly warned not to play with fire? Yet he leads his team to patrol and inspect the camp every day!" Han Shizhong said with a smile on his face. At this moment, all the officers and soldiers present were terrified.
"There's basically no need to worry. The Northern Huns in this camp are finished. We just need to defend well and prevent those elite troops from escaping. The outcome is already decided!"
Han Shizhong said coldly that he saw clouds gathering in the Northern Huns camp, and it seemed that the Northern Huns wanted to make one last stand.
It was a pity that he had successively abandoned the two most extreme methods of human wave and blood sacrifice. In his eyes, the remaining Northern Huns were already a group of mobile merits.
As long as all the exits of the camp are guarded, the Northern Huns will surely perish today.
"Oh? It seems that the Northern Huns chose the worst path!" Han Shizhong shook his head.
This kid Yue Fei not only plotted against the Northern Huns, but also took them into account.
In the end, the Northern Huns actually chose the direction guarded by Yue Fei. If someone said that this was an accidental situation, he would not believe it even if you beat him to death.
