Chapter 730: Eliminating the Big Trouble, a New Ability Suddenly Appears

Chapter 730: Eliminating the Big Trouble, a New Ability Suddenly Appears

There are strong winds on the grassland all year round. When the winds are whistling, riding a horse, drawing a bow, and galloping on the hunting trail are the greatest hobbies of grassland men.

However, this time, with the howling wind and the endless falling grass roots, looking along the mound, the huge plain was filled with thick smoke. The sheep that were supposed to be driven by someone were now wandering around in panic as if they had no owner.

Looking up, vultures were flying and circling in the sky. It seemed that there were gradually more eagles. Dense small black shadows appeared from all directions and gathered together.

On the plain, an unknown amount of time had passed. When the thick smoke was blown by the strong wind, the smell of blood that could not be concealed made some of the leading sheep look back, looking at the messy and bright red Hun camp from afar. It seemed that after smelling the smell, just like sheep eating the placenta after giving birth, they knew that the smell would soon attract wolves and other beasts on the grassland, so the leading sheep instinctively turned around and quickly led the flock away.

Jie~!

A scream of some unknown bird was heard in mid-air, and suddenly flocks of crows and vultures appeared on the ground. The number of them was so great that it made one's hair stand on end.

And on the other side.

Outside the Hun territory, a group of Iron Eagle warriors on horseback burned down all the Hun tents and came out with countless heads.

In Bai Yan's words, these heads can be exchanged for rewards when they go back!

Since killing one person is killing, and killing ten people is killing, why not kill as many as possible? After returning and getting the reward, you can drink and have fun, and maybe even buy a beautiful woman to take home.

"Daliangzao, how should we deal with these people?"

Qin Sui walked up to Bai Yan, bowed and asked. At this moment, Qin Sui's clothes and armor were all splattered red with blood. Not to mention his entire body and sword, even his hair was covered with large patches of blood that had not yet dried.

Qin Sui was not the only one in this situation. Deputy General Ji Heng and all the other Iron Eagle Warriors were not much better.

For everyone, even on the battlefield in the past, they did not necessarily kill so many people.

How much...

The soldiers' horses were filled with heads of women, children, the elderly and the weak hung on both sides. Their hands were shaking from chopping them off, and they were out of breath. They beheaded the Huns cleanly and neatly at the beginning, but they had to rest for a long time before they could chop off the heads of the Huns. Some soldiers even had their swords broken and their long spears broken.

Looking at the Hun camp, what caught the eye was headless corpses inside and outside the tents. The ground was all red. Some soldiers had muddy and bloody soil on their feet, and it was hard to tell whether it was the flesh that fell from the corpses when they kept swinging their swords back and forth.

This was a scene that had never happened on the battlefield. Every soldier had forgotten how many people he had killed. If they had only heard Bai Yan say that they would eat the meat of the Huns when hungry and drink the blood of the Huns when thirsty, then every soldier had drunk a lot of so-called Huns' blood.

It is no exaggeration to say that when you look around, you can see many soldiers with naked bodies, and when they twist their sleeves, a little blood can be seen dripping.

"Leave it to the Huns!"

When Bai Yan heard Qin Sui's words, he turned his head and looked at the huddled figures, and the faces of the Hun women and children, whose eyes were full of fear and despair.

In the eyes of Bai Yan, Qin Sui and others, there was not even the slightest sympathy or even the slightest fluctuation when seeing this scene.

Because they had seen such scenes before, but it happened on the faces of the captured women from Central Plains.

"Leave it to the Huns?"

Bai Yan's words surprised Ji Heng and the soldiers around him, as well as Qin Sui.

He turned his head with some confusion and looked at the families of the Xiongnu tribal leaders. Looking at the women and children, Qin Sui frowned slightly and looked back at Bai Yan.

"Daliangzao, I don't understand why you didn't kill them. They are all women from the Xiongnu tribe!"

Qin Sui seldom asked questions, but at the moment, he could no longer bear the curiosity in his heart. After all, eight out of ten members of the Xiongnu tribe had been killed, almost completely slaughtered, and the remaining remnants of the tribe had also been forced to tell their direction and distance. No matter whether it was true or false, he just had to kill them.

But now, those are the family members and relatives of the Xiongnu tribal leader. Since they are going to massacre the entire clan, there is no reason to let such important people go.

Their status in the Xiongnu tribe is much more important than that of ordinary Xiongnu people.

Since Bai Yan wanted to vent his anger and take revenge, why didn't he kill them?

"Tell me, if the remaining people of the Xiongnu tribe who successfully escaped to the north saw that their wives, children, and the elderly were all slaughtered, what would they think? And if they saw that the women of the tribal leader were all alive, what would they think?"

Bai Yan looked at Qin Sui. Just as Qin Sui was thinking about what he said, Bai Yan smiled and looked at the Xiongnu women.

"Tell me, if the Xiongnu knew that we were going to continue northward to massacre the remaining Xiongnu tribes, what would they do?"

When Qin Sui heard Bai Yan's words, he was suddenly stunned and a scene instantly appeared in his mind. On one side were the Huns who had lost their minds, and on the other side were the Huns leader and Touman Chanyu who were looking at their female relatives.

Yes!

Almost all the Huns had lost their loved ones, their wives and children, but those tribal leaders still had female relatives. Faced with such a situation, would they feel comfortable letting their women wander the grassland alone again?

On one side were the Qin cavalry that had lost track of themselves heading north, and on the other side were the Qin troops from the south or west that could chase them at any time, or the Yuezhi tribe that might invade for revenge.

And if I arrange for a trusted escort, then I will lose the trusted protection...

While Qin Sui was thinking, he looked at the mountains of corpses and sea of ​​blood in the Hun camp ahead, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Those Hun leaders wouldn't dare! They would be afraid too!

"It is more valuable to let them live than to kill them. If they live, the Xiongnu people will not be united. Even if they die, they cannot die in our hands. Bai Yan wants to see if Touman Chanyu will personally kill his loved ones and his own son! I heard that after being injured, Touman Chanyu has no offspring for so many years!"

Bai Yan spoke, raised his blood-red hand, looked at the sword in his hand that he had not used for many years, and looked at the Xiongnu women with interest.

"What's more, there are families of other Xiongnu tribal leaders here!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to mount his horse when he saw several Iron Eagle soldiers on horseback on the grassland in the distance, holding long spears and driving several Hun men back.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the direction of the soldiers with anticipation.

What Bai Yan didn't know at this moment was that when he left, everyone including Qin Sui, Ji Heng and other Iron Eagle soldiers, all stood there in a daze with a look of horror on their faces, looking at each other, with lingering fear in their eyes.

After listening to Bai Yan's words, how everyone felt in their hearts, perhaps only they themselves could understand.

Qin Sui, who was usually calm, couldn't help but move his Adam's apple under his bloody cheeks after taking a look at the trembling Xiongnu women. When he turned around and followed Bai Yan, his eyes were looking at Bai Yan's back, and a trace of "awe" had quietly arisen in Qin Sui's heart.

That is a different feeling towards Sima Xing, and even Bai Yan in the past!

If Qin Sui only felt awe and admiration for Bai Yan, who had conquered Wei and defeated Chu, was majestic, had made great military achievements, and was famous all over the world, then at this moment, his "awe" of Bai Yan was mixed with a hint of fear and timidity.

Calculate!

If it was a siege on a normal day, if it was a calculation during the battles on the battlefield in the past, perhaps it would be more than this, but at this moment, they are slaughtering the entire clan!

Qin Sui couldn't even imagine how strong the heart and calmness of the person must be to have such a rational and humane mind in his heart at the moment when he personally participated in and ordered the massacre of the entire clan.

"Da Liangzao, this person is Maodun!"

On the plain, several Iron Eagle soldiers drove a few young Huns to Bai Yan, then stepped forward and bowed to Bai Yan to report.

Seeing the appearance of the Iron Eagle soldiers, several Xiongnu teenagers looked at Bai Yan with hatred in their eyes, because as long as they looked towards the tribal camp, they could clearly see that the camp was a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

All dead!

All the tribesmen, all the people of the Hun tribe, were killed!

The enemy who caused all this and personally led the troops to massacre was the young Qin man in front of them, a Qin official who was not much older than them.

"Moton!"

Bai Yan listened to the soldiers' words and looked at the leading Hun boy with interest. Seeing the Hun boy's ferocious face, Bai Yan slowly stepped forward.

"Da Liangzao, this man is very strong and brutal. Just now two soldiers were injured by him!"

Seeing Bai Yan's actions, the Iron Eagle Warriors began to report.

The soldiers' words not only surprised Bai Yan, but also Qin Sui behind Bai Yan, who looked at Maodun in surprise.

Two Iron Eagle Warriors were injured!

The strength of the Iron Eagle Warriors is obvious to all. Not to mention the previous selections and going to the battlefield, even when Bai Yan was assassinated, the Iron Eagle soldiers' reaction and strength in the blink of an eye were enough to prove their strength.

And this young Xiongnu boy was able to injure two soldiers!

No wonder Daliangzao specifically asked to catch this person at any cost.

"interesting!"

Bai Yan was not arrogant. After learning about Maodun's strength, he did not risk stepping forward. Instead, he raised his hand and asked other soldiers to kill Maodun in front of him.

"killed!"

As soon as Bai Yan finished speaking, the soldiers who had just been injured were already filled with anger. If they hadn't wanted to capture him alive, how could they have accidentally been injured.

Seeing the opportunity to vent their anger, they could not bear it and stepped forward.

Under Bai Yan's gaze, the young Xiongnu man seemed to know his fate, so even though he was seriously injured, he still glared at Bai Yan and rushed forward like a madman, determined to kill Bai Yan, or one in exchange for one.

However, the Iron Eagle soldiers would never give him a chance. Without any scruples, they even directly asked Bai Yan to give the young man a sword so that they could fight to the death.

Bai Yan nodded and agreed. This was a request from a soldier, so he naturally would not refuse.

After getting Bai Yan's permission, the young man would then have to face the wrath of the soldiers.

All are injured.

However, unlike before, they no longer cared about the other party's life or death and fought to the death. The Hun boy was hit by the Iron Eagle soldier's sword in just two strokes, and then his abdomen was stabbed by a sword. After falling to the ground, he was beheaded before he had time to struggle to get up.

This scene made the other Xiongnu boys turn pale.

In the midst of anger and panic, the reason why these Xiongnu teenagers did not rush forward was that they noticed that on the other side, there seemed to be quite a few Xiongnu women and children huddled together. Those people were still alive, and the Qin army in front of them did not seem to intend to kill them.

This gives them hope of survival.

"Da Liang Zao!"

The soldiers cut off Maodun's head, brought it to Bai Yan, and bowed to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan nodded and looked at the head, feeling relieved. Maodun, others may not know, but Bai Yan knew it clearly. If he remembered correctly, this Maodun was the powerful leader of the Huns in the north and the biggest hidden danger to the Central Plains in the future.

This son of Chanyu Touman not only killed his father himself and took charge of the Xiongnu, but also destroyed the Donghu in one fell swoop, drove out the Yuezhi, and led the Xiongnu to conquer more than 20 nomadic tribes such as Loulan, Wusun, and Hujie, controlling most of the Western Regions. To the north, he also conquered the Hunyu, Qushe, Dingling, Gekun, Xinli and other tribes...

It was under the control of Maodun that the Xiongnu in the northern grasslands reached their peak and became an empire with more than 300,000 soldiers!

It can be said that during the peak period when Maodun led the Huns, the 300,000-plus soldiers alone were enough to strike fear into the hearts of the Central Plains.

The soldiers who control the bows! In the Central Plains, it is not that there are not enough people, but that there are not enough horses! This is why the North can go south, and the South wants to go north to attack the Xiongnu. The right time, right place, and right people are all indispensable!

Now, seeing the son of Touman Chanyu, a man named Maodun, being beheaded, Bai Yan finally felt relieved. Eliminating this hidden danger would at least make people feel a little more at ease.

However, in a trance.

Bai Yan vaguely felt a little dizzy, and then he heard the voice of a Hun in his ear. A stronger pain came over him, making Bai Yan a little unsteady.

In a trance, Bai Yan heard the soldiers also exclaiming.

"Da Liang Zao!"

"Daliangzao!!!"

Qin Sui stepped forward with a worried look on his face.

It turned out that under the gaze of everyone, Bai Yan stopped and frowned, then his body shook slightly. After he stabilized, a small stream of blood flowed from his nose.

"fine!"

After Bai Yan recovered, he raised his hand to signal Qin Sui not to worry. After taking a breath, he raised his head with heavy breathing.

Before Qin Sui could react, Bai Yan drew his sword, turned around and walked towards the several Xiongnu teenagers step by step.

This sudden scene stunned everyone. Before they could think about it, they saw a young Hun boy looking at Bai Yan with fear in his eyes and taking unnatural steps back.

On the other side, a young Hun boy saw Bai Yan's actions and wanted to stop him. However, not to mention that he was injured, even if he was not injured, he was no match for Bai Yan.

Therefore, the moment he stepped forward, the Xiongnu boy was ruthlessly hacked to the ground by Bai Yan's sword. The other two boys reacted and rushed forward to fight with Bai Yan desperately. Seeing this, Bai Yan stabbed one of them to death and hit the other Xiongnu boy in the face with his elbow. When the Xiongnu boy instinctively retreated in pain, Bai Yan pulled out his sword from one of the Xiongnu boys, turned around and chopped him on the head.

Seeing this scene, not only Qin Sui, but also other soldiers noticed something unusual.

Why are the other Hun boys protecting another Hun boy who is retreating?

Could it be...

He is Maodun!!!

As a thought came to their minds, the Iron Eagle soldiers looked at the Hun boy and couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise and solemnity.

Just now, none of them noticed the abnormality of the Xiongnu boy. The Xiongnu boy was so young, yet he was so calm and composed, and he also had the sworn support of other tribesmen around him. If such a person grew up, he would definitely not be an ordinary person.

"kill!"

The person who gave the order was not Bai Yan, but Qin Sui.

Qin Sui saw that when Bai Yan approached the real Maodun, Maodun suddenly jumped up, and he didn't know when he had hidden a dagger in his hand. He changed his previous cowardice and stared at Bai Yan fiercely without any fear.

This is a desperate gamble!

This sudden scene did not frighten Qin Sui. The soldiers, who had been prepared, shot arrows from the crossbows in their hands almost the moment Maodun stood up, following Qin Sui's order.

In an instant, Maodun, who had not even taken a step forward, was shot in both legs and knelt on the ground, with the dagger in his hand stuck in the mud.

However, even in such severe pain, Maodun, with veins bulging on his forehead, forced himself not to cry out, and even did not loosen the hand holding the dagger.

When Bai Yan approached, a ferocious look appeared on Maodun's young face, and he swung his hand back.

Bai Yan dodged, held the Qin sword in both hands, and swung it with all his strength. In an instant, a little blood splashed on Bai Yan's face. Maodun fell to the ground and finally became a corpse.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo..."

Bai Yan held the Qin Sword with a dazed look on his face. The hand holding the Qin Sword also gripped the hilt tightly, exerting force continuously.

Almost, Bai Yan finally realized the forbearance of Maodun recorded in later historical books.

From the time the Iron Eagle soldiers were chasing him, Maodun had already realized that the Iron Eagle soldiers seemed to want to kill him alive, so Maodun had already decided to give up his fearless escape and let his companions impersonate him.

"Daliangzou?"

Qin Sui stepped forward with some worry. This was the first time Qin Sui saw Bai Yan look like this since he had known him. You know, when Bai Yan led his troops to defeat Chu and returned to Qin, he was not like this.

This made Qin Sui worry whether Bai Yan was injured, or had a hidden illness, or was overworked during this period.

"fine!"

Bai Yan held the bloody Qin sword in one hand, looked at Maodun's body on the ground, raised his head, wiped away the remaining blood from his nose with his other hand, and then pointed to the north.

Under Qin Sui's surprised gaze, Bai Yan pointed in a direction to the north.

"The remaining Xiongnu tribes are all in Langjuxu Mountain! Just 400 miles to the north!"

Bai Yan's eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent.

If Qin Sui had noticed Bai Yan's eyes in front of Bai Yan, he would have discovered that there seemed to be a slight difference in Bai Yan's eyes, but as Bai Yan's nosebleed decreased, it slowly dissipated.

"Send the order, prepare some food and fodder, and march quickly!"

Bai Yan gave the order.

"promise!"

Qin Sui didn't know why Bai Yan was so confident, but since Bai Yan had already given the order, Qin Sui would naturally not disobey. Besides, even if it was wrong, it wouldn't matter.

With the Iron Eagle soldiers around, no matter what the situation, Qin Sui will fight with the soldiers to protect Bai Yan's safety.

"The wolf lives in Xushan!"

Bai Yan listened to Qin Sui turning around to deliver the order and looked to the north. What emerged in his mind was not only the appearance of Langjuxu Mountain, but also the figures of the remaining Xiongnu tribes. He even knew that in order to appease the Xiongnu, the King of Donghu also had a hostage at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain.

The appearance of the proton is clear.

It was as if... I had seen it with my own eyes. No, some things even seemed like I had experienced them personally!

Every scene, every corner of Langjuxu Mountain, the faces of the Xiongnu women and children, and the figures of the Xiongnu men who stayed behind, these are no exception.

However, the perspective is not Bai Yan himself, but the other two Huns. One seems to be Maodun lying in front of him, and the other...

Bai Yan couldn't help but turn his head and look at the Hun boy who had just been killed by another soldier.

"what happened?"

Bai Yan's eyes revealed a sense of confusion as he gasped for breath, especially when he looked at the tribal camp in the distance which was full of corpses and blood. He could still see a few resentful souls, such as the wronged souls of the Huns such as Di Kui, but they had all disappeared at this moment.

It seemed as if Bai Yan could no longer see those wronged souls in the world, and it seemed that Bai Yan had lost his innate abilities for some reason.

Instead, it seems...

Bai Yan raised his bloodstained hand and looked at it in a daze. At this moment, Bai Yan felt that if he picked up a bow, he would be able to hunt very calmly even on horseback. It seemed that his hands had been practicing bow bending since he was a child, year after year.

What exactly is going on?

Moreover, why not someone else? Why just the fake Maodun and the real Maodun? Could it be that they were the same as before, both powerful enough in their lifetime, or is there something different?

"Da Liang Zao!"

Ji Heng's report brought Bai Yan back to his senses from his thoughts.

Seeing Ji Heng's worried look, Bai Yan withdrew his gaze from his hands and could only let go of the doubts in his heart.

The guess in my heart will be confirmed when we reach Langjuxu Mountain. There, there are not only people of Huns with special identities, but also the descendants of the King of Donghu. There are also powerful Donghu people who protect the son of the King of Donghu.

..............................

Yanmen Mountain.

"Chan Yu, the guards at Yanmen Pass are stubbornly holding out and refusing to surrender! It has been a long time, and many people in the tribe are beginning to miss their people!"

Outside the endless mountains, countless Hun men gathered together, led by Touman Chanyu, Murto and others.

"If we take over Yanmen Pass, we can open up the road to the north! Tell the men that after we take over Yanmen Pass, we can return to the tribe!"

When Touman Chanyu heard Murto's words, he looked at the mountains and chuckled softly.

The gains from this trip southwards put Touman Chanyu in a very good mood. Another more important reason was that he had been holding back for several years, and now going south finally allowed Touman Chanyu to be proud and avenge his previous humiliation.

As for Yanmen Pass!

After all, Touman Chanyu still didn't dare to trust Donghu easily. After experiencing the cooperation with Yuezhi, Touman Chanyu would be on guard against any alliance. Touman Chanyu couldn't guarantee that if Donghu had the chance, they would do the same thing as Yuezhi.

Although most of the benefits of this looting trip to the south went to the Donghu, the Xiongnu had also experienced the Donghu's greed and had to be on guard against it.

"Well, Lang'er, we are all looking forward to returning home day and night!"

Murto nodded, turned around and instructed his confidant to pass on the words of Chanyu Touman.

After doing all this, Murto looked at Touman Chanyu with a smile.

"I don't know what Gu He is like. It's a pity that Qin General Bai Yan is not in Yanmen this time, otherwise, Chanyu would have been able to take revenge! But I heard that Qin General Bai Yan has two beauties hidden in Shanwu City. When Gu He and Donghu capture Shanwu City, then let Gu He bring the two beauties here privately to present to Chanyu Touman!"

Murto said.

As one of the Xiongnu leaders and a close confidant of Touman Chanyu, Murto naturally knew what was bothering him. Although he did not kill Bai Yan on this trip south, if he could capture Bai Yan's beauty, it would allow Touman Chanyu to vent his anger and he could take this opportunity to humiliate Bai Yan.

"I am also very curious. If Bai Yan knew that his two beauties were abducted by the Xiongnu, would he dare to go north to ask for them as he did before?"

As Touman Chanyu spoke, his eyes flickered repeatedly, and he seemed to be looking forward to the scene where Bai Yan would become so ashamed and angry that he would lose his mind and lead his troops north.

"If Bai Yan goes again, he will be killed!"

Murto looked at Touman Chanyu, put away his smile, and spoke softly.

Obviously, Bai Yan's action of going north to ask for people made all the Huns, including Murto, lose face. For the people of the strong northern nomadic tribes, this was tantamount to a great humiliation and a life-and-death feud.

When everything goes according to plan, after looting the five counties in the south and annexing the Yuezhi, if Bai Yan dares to go north at that time, the Huns will no longer be able to tolerate Bai Yan's arrogance as they did before.

"Ok?"

While Murto was talking with Touman Chanyu, he suddenly noticed a dozen figures rushing towards them on horseback in the distance. Even all the Hun troops along the way were alarmed by their panic-stricken appearance.
