Chapter 260: Final Battle, Beginning
Three days.
During these three days, the Lord of Wushuang City: Wushuang Jun Tianxuanzi still did not show up, causing undercurrents to surge in Wushuang City, which had been built for only a year. It seemed that the city was responding to the Hun army outside the city, turning into a flood that could swallow up everything and engulf Wushuang City.
"Are you all ready?"
"Everything is ready."
"Okay! Then proceed according to the plan."
……
Tonight, dark clouds covered the entire Wushuang City, obscuring the bright moon and the stars. The cold wind of late spring echoed on the streets that had been deserted every night recently. No matter who you are, in this atmosphere, you will think of a sentence. That is: It's a dark and windy night for murder!
A dark secret that happened in Wushuang City indeed proves this statement.
Seven wealthy merchants from the Western Regions and the Central Plains gathered in a secret room. Their faces, lit by the candles in the room, showed the same ferocious expressions. Their short words were filled with unquestionable murderous intent. After each of them spoke, the seven wealthy merchants left the secret room and carried out the agreed plan:
Mobilize your men, burn the food and grass in the city, clear the blocked city gates, attack Tianxuan Temple, etc., create chaos in the city as much as possible, and welcome Touman Chanyu's army into the city!
creak!
When the seven wealthy merchants were about to leave, something unexpected happened. A sound that should never have occurred at this time suddenly occurred. Along with the sound, the door of the secret room slowly opened, and bright firelight fell into the secret room, making these people's eyes flash.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Amid the three consecutive rounds of applause, a lazy and rogue voice fell into the ears of the seven people. In the past, the seven people had gambled and prostituted with the owner of this voice, and they were very close to him. But when they heard this voice at this time, they felt that it was no different from the low hum of the King of Hell in the prehistoric world.
"You guys are so generous! You want to sell us and get a good price from Chanyu Touman! Do you mind telling me how much my head is worth? If it is valuable, I don't mind giving my head to Chanyu Touman!"
"Liu Ji?"
"General Liu Ji!"
"You...why are you here?"
……
As they were talking, the seven merchants had already adapted to the firelight in front of them, and their faces showed extremely ugly expressions, as if they were about to cry, and they were facing Liu Ji who appeared in front of them. Or to be more precise, they were looking at the Qin army behind Liu Ji, who was roughly estimated to be nearly a hundred in number, all of them were murderous and glaring at them!
"Brother Liu, we are just getting together here..." One of the wealthy businessmen who had been with Liu Ji as a prostitute was about to make an excuse.
"Leave no one behind!"
Liu Ji had no intention of listening to the lies of these former drinking buddies. He waved his hand fiercely and gave the order.
………………
"ignition!"
When Wushuang City was being built, two main roads were built, connecting the east, south, west and north of Wushuang City. Under the two main roads, some side roads and small roads were left, connecting the alleys and houses in the city. The intersection of these two main roads is exactly where Tianxuan's city lord's mansion is located: Tianxuan Temple.
When Liu Ji was dealing with the hidden dangers in the city, a massacre had just ended in front of Tianxuan Temple.
Hundreds of strong men followed their master's orders and hid near Tianxuan Temple. Before they received orders from their master to attack the City Lord's Mansion, they were all captured by the well-prepared Qin army. Hundreds of corpses were piled up in the square in front of Tianxuan Temple.
Guided by the burning torches, one can see the fear and pain of these corpses before they die. A large pile of dry firewood was piled together, a foot high, and kerosene was poured on it. Rumor has it that he was ambushed by a wolf killer and will not live long. Even most of them are already dead, but Xiao He, Liu Ji and others have kept the news secret. Tian Xuan, wearing a black suit with cloud patterns, stood in front of the square.
Around Tianxuan, three thousand Qin soldiers surrounded him, each with a frightening hatred on his face. Standing in the dark night, Tianxuan looked solemn and shouted orders.
boom!
After receiving Tianxuan's order, a Qin soldier holding a torch threw the torch onto the dry wood. The dry wood was already dry, and was then doused with flammable kerosene. As soon as the burning torch touched the dry wood, it turned into a blazing fire, with clusters of flames dancing on the dry wood and rushing into the sky.
"Kill!"
"Support the Great Chanyu!"
"Come on!"
……
As the bonfire was lit, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen and others who were scattered around Wushuang City received the signal, and their soldiers shouted, and the shouting accompanied the burning bonfire, making the originally quiet Wushuang City boil, as if someone in the city really was making a riot and wanted to support the Hun army outside the city to enter the city.
………………
"Hahaha, what a blessing from the great Kunlun God!"
Outside the city, the Hun camp.
Today was the day that Chanyu Touman had agreed with the wealthy merchants in Wushuang City who wanted to join him. As the matter was of great importance, Chanyu Touman did not rest, but led his people to wait for the signal from the city. Even though they were far away, the blazing fire and the sounds of fighting echoing in the city still broke through the darkness and reached the wolf camp.
Hearing the signal from the city, Chanyu Touman laughed inexplicably excitedly, and the Xiongnu leaders surrounding him were also infected and laughed out loud. The laughter gathered together and resounded in the silent night sky, which was particularly loud.
"action!"
After a while, Chanyu Touman stopped laughing first, and all the Xiongnu leaders stopped laughing, and their faces still showed joy from the bottom of their hearts. Guided by the light of the fire, Chanyu Touman saw the expressions of his subordinates, waved his hand fiercely, and gave the order for a general attack without hesitation.
"Kill!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
"Go into Wushuang City and rob money, food, and women!"
……
During the construction of Wushuang City, Tianxuan coated the walls with a layer of cement, making them slippery. In addition, the defenders had the upper hand in the battle. The 200,000 Hun army attacked day and night, and 30,000 were killed, and another 10,000 were injured and unable to fight.
Touman Chanyu thought he had victory in his grasp and sent the remaining 160,000 troops forward, like a gambler who was desperate and determined to throw all the chips in his hand onto the table.
The 160,000 Xiongnu troops came out in droves, like dark clouds hanging from the sky, and like a dense swarm of ants, rushing towards the walls of Wushuang City, where 30,000 of their brothers had been buried. The shouts and howls that rose and fell were filled with unparalleled murderous intent. There was no doubt that once this wolf army entered Wushuang City, it would become a hell on earth.
"Even if there is no one to support us in the city, Wushuang City is already in my pocket!" Chanyu Tuoman said proudly while riding on a tall black horse as he looked at his army that had come out in full force.
