Chapter 1690 A fire in winter
Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the frozen land in winter, but the disadvantage is that the frozen soil, which is as thick as one foot when it is first dug, is simply deadly.
It even requires internal energy to be used to dig, but after that stage, it becomes much easier to dig, and what is dug out is actually dry soil!
This is also the confidence that Xu You dared to dig the tunnel to three people wide. However, to this extent, the work pressure was very high for Xu You, so he successfully completed it.
Fortunately, after digging wide, the excavation speed has increased, and it is not too wasteful of time. As for the digging of soil, it has now become a frozen city wall.
Soon, the Han army divided into dozens of routes gathered in the core grain storage area of the Northern Huns camp. A huge hole was dug out here, and it was supported by giant trees and wooden boards everywhere. Just by looking at it, Ji Ling and others understood the plan of Shen Pei.
"I personally take my own tung oil. If I don't have tung oil, I pick up the bags of pine wood shavings soaked with tung oil. Not far above is the granary of the Northern Huns. On top is the cattle and sheep corpses reserved by the Northern Huns. Yuan Bo, you and General Ji will cut off all the supporting beams after we retreat to the edge." Xu You turned his head and said to Gao Lan and Ji Ling.
"Okay!" Ji Ling nodded and said.
"Everyone is ready. What we have to do in a while is to jump from here after the cattle and sheep on our heads collapsed, and then we must not let the Northern Huns rush into this range!" Shen Pei said to everyone.
"Go to do it!" Seeing that everyone retreated to the safe range, Shen Pei immediately gave an order. Then Ji Ling and Gao Lan's attack were directly cut off, and a large area of landslides followed.
The cold lumps fell on the ground, and Shen Pei roared and took everyone to jump onto the ground. This was the core place for the Northern Huns to reserve food and grass.
"Jiang Qi, go and set the fire!" Shen Pei roared at the granary beside him, and at this time Chen Jie had already rushed towards the Northern Xiongnu camp, and the tragic roar was passed from the Northern Xiongnu in the middle of the camp and Chen Jie's throat.
Jiang Qi kicked open the gate of the Northern Huns' granary, then a large amount of tung oil soaked in the sawdust of tung oil, and threw the shavings directly in, and then a torch was thrown in.
The fire rose in an instant, and the other huge granaries were also like this. At this moment, the snowflakes in the sky were directly suppressed by Xu You and Xun Chen in the Han army camp. Only the north wind blew wildly, and soon the cold north brought a rolling wave of heat.
"No!" The flames rising in the middle of the Northern Huns' camp made all the Northern Huns crazy. Almost all the Huns, not far from the center of the camp, took up weapons and launched an attack on the Han army in the center of the camp.
"Kill!" Ji Ling roared, and a terrifying aura appeared on his body, so that the strong wind began to naturally avoid Ji Ling.
At the same time, Yuan Shu, who was in Shouchun, suddenly sat up, and a momentum that was almost Yuan Shao's desperate attempt to die condensed in Yuan Shu's eyes, "Hmph, Northern Xiongnu!"
Ji Ling stabbed a Hun centurion who was running first with one shot, took his war horse, and then burst out with a grand momentum, swept the gun and swept the surrounding Northern Huns out.
Then the dark golden glow directly enveloped the soldiers behind him. Ji Ling, who suddenly stopped his horse, exuded murderous intent and looked directly at all the Huns in front of him. At that moment, his aura was almost at its peak.
"Hmph, Hu is no one, all the soldiers follow me to kill the enemy!" Ji Ling roared angrily and rushed forward. Three thousand Yuan family soldiers behind him held swords and shields, and followed Ji Ling frantically, killing the Northern Xiongnu who were chaotic to put out the fire.
The camp where the Northern Huns reserved cattle and sheep collapsed, and the granary fired. All the awakened Northern Huns had to fight for their future survival in this situation.
A large number of Northern Huns clans picked up their weapons and rushed towards the granary where the flames rose in the middle of the camp. However, the Northern Huns gathered south of the middle line of the camp were even attacked by Ji Ling before they even launched an attack.
At the same time, Gao Lan, Zhu Han, Tao Sheng, Liu Yu and others led their troops to launch fierce attacks in all directions, leaving only Jiang Qi and more than 2,000 people guarding Shen Pei while setting fires in the granary in the central northern Huns.
Buckets of tung oil and bags of pine shavings that inflicted oil. As a torch and the bulging wind burned rapidly, the flames in the central village of the Northern Huns rose at a visible speed.
Soon as the first huge granary burned, the strong wind swayed the fire snake and showed the destruction of flames, the granaries on the edge were quickly ignited.
"Gao Lan leads troops to attack!" Seeing that Zhu Han and others were not suppressed, the soldiers led by Gao Lan were blocked and immediately said furiously that they must be able to block this wave of attack from the Northern Huns. The victory and defeat are here, and Chen Jie.
"No!" Gao Lan roared and attacked the Northern Huns. Unfortunately, his every move was still skillful, but he looked like a puppet with a soul-lost look. He looked straight and eye-catching, but his core motivation did not come from him.
When the Northern Huns were in the central granary, their eyes turned red. These foods were their savings for the Northern Huns during the winter. If they lost these foods, even without the Han army, the remaining tribesmen of the Northern Huns would definitely not be able to survive this winter.
Therefore, at the moment when the fire snake shone in the granary in the central camp shone in the sky, all the Huns attacked the Han army as if they were crazy.
There is no need to think about how the Han army came from, nor do we need to think about how many people it will lose. We just need to think about that if we cannot steal food in this battle, then the descendants of the Kunlun god represented by the Northern Huns will be extinct in the winter snow!
"Kill!" At this moment, the Northern Huns, both men, women, young and old, all took advantage of weapons and launched a desperate counterattack towards the Han army. The flames rising from the central camp represented the fate of the Northern Huns. When the flames completely enveloped the Central Camp, the fate of the Northern Huns was about to end.
"How many more Jiang Qi has!" Zhu Han beheaded a Northern Hun warrior in front of him with a knife, and then roared angrily without looking back.
"A quarter of an hour, another quarter of an hour, I can burn all the granaries!" Jiang Qi's voice spread throughout the four fields.
