Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1826: Chapter 1690: A Blaze in Winter

Fortunately, the frozen ground in winter was hard enough not to worry about collapsing from above, but the downside was that the one-foot-thick frozen soil at the beginning of digging was truly life-threatening.

It even required the use of Inner Qi to excavate, but after that stage, the digging became much easier, and surprisingly, all the soil was dry!

This was why Xuu You dared to dig the tunnel to three people’s width, but reaching this extent also put a lot of pressure on Xuu You’s work, happily it was completed successfully.

Fortunately, after widening the tunnel, the digging speed increased accordingly and didn’t waste much time. As for the excavated soil, it had now turned into frozen earth city walls.

Soon, the Han Army divided into dozens of routes gathered at the core grain storage place of the Northern Huns Camp. A huge void had been excavated here, supported everywhere by giant wooden beams and planks. Just by looking, General Jii and others understood Sheni Pei’s plan.

”Everyone hold your own Tung Oil, those without take the bagged pine shavings soaked in Tung Oil, right above us is the granary of the Northern Huns, and right above that is the reserve of cattle and sheep carcasses of the Northern Huns. Yuanbo, you and General Jii, once we retreat to the edge, cut off all supporting beams.” Xuu You turned to Gao Lan and Jii Ling and said.

”Alright!” General Jii nodded and said.

”Everyone get ready. What we need to do later is, after the cattle and sheep collapse from above us, jump up from here, and absolutely must not let the Northern Huns charge into this area!” Sheni Pei looked at everyone and said.

”Go for it!” Seeing everyone retreat to a safe area, Sheni Pei immediately ordered, and then General Jii and Gao Lan chopped down all main beams with one blow, followed by a massive collapse.

Cold chunks of earth smashed onto the ground, Sheni Pei roared fiercely, leading everyone to jump onto the surface, this was the most central grain reserve area of the Northern Huns.

”Jiangh Qi, go set the fire!” Sheni Pei roared pointing at the granary beside, and at this moment Chen Jie had already rushed towards the Northern Huns Camp. The tragic scream was conveyed from the center of the camp through the throats of both the Northern Huns and Chen Jie.

Jiangh Qi kicked open the large door of the Northern Huns’ granary, then a large amount of Tung Oil, sawdust soaked in Tung Oil, pine shavings were directly thrown in, followed by a torch being thrown in.

Immediately, a great fire rose up, the same happened with the other huge granaries. The snowflakes in the sky were directly suppressed at this moment by Xuu You and Xun Shen within the Han Camp, only the north wind blew wildly, soon bringing surging heat from the cold north.

”No!” The flames rising from the center of the Northern Huns Camp sent all the Northern Huns into a frenzy, almost all the Hun People not far from the camp’s center picked up weapons and launched an attack towards the central Han Army.

”Kill!” General Jii roared angrily, exhibiting a terrifying aura that even the gale naturally avoided him.

Meanwhile, at Shouchun, Yuan Shu suddenly sat up, a nearly life-threatening aura condensed in his eyes, ”Hmph, Northern Huns!”

General Jii stabbed and killed a leading Hun Centurion, took his warhorse, then exploded with majestic momentum, sweeping away the surrounding Northern Huns with his spear.

Then the dark golden Radiance directly enveloped the Soldiers behind him, and the suddenly reined General Jii exuded killing intent, staring straight at all the Huns in front of him, at that moment his momentum nearly reached its peak.

”Hmph, there are no barbarians, all warriors follow me to kill the enemy!” General Jii roared, charging forward on horseback, followed by three thousand Yuan Family Elite Soldiers with swords and shields, eyes fervently following General Jii, shattering the chaotic Northern Huns trying to extinguish the fire.

As the Northern Huns’ camp collapsed, followed by the granaries catching fire, all the awakened Northern Huns under such circumstances had to fight for their future survival.

A large number of Hun Clan members grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the granary ablaze in the center of the camp. However, gathered from the south of the camp’s center, the Northern Huns hadn’t even launched an attack before facing General Jii’s frontal assault.

Meanwhile, Gao Lan, Zhu Han, Tao Sheng, Liu Yuu and others each led troops to launch ferocious attacks in all directions, leaving Jiangh Qi with more than two thousand to escort Sheni Pei while frenziedly setting fires in the central granary of the Northern Huns.

Barrels of Tung Oil, bags of oil-soaked pine shavings, along with a torch and the stirred wind quickly ignited, causing the fire in the Northern Huns’ central main camp to rise visibly.

Soon, as the first gigantic granary burned up, fire snakes swirled by the gale exhibited the destructive side of the flames, igniting the granaries at the edges rapidly.

”Gao Lan, lead the troops to charge!” Sheni Pei saw Zhu Han and others hadn’t been suppressed yet, and Gao Lan’s soldiers were blocked and immediately shouted angrily. To withstand the Northern Huns’ wave of assault was crucial to victory or defeat here, and also depended on Chen Jie there.

”Yes!” Gao Lan shouted angrily, launching an attack towards the Northern Huns. Unfortunately, although his every move was still skillful, it was like a marionette without a soul, looking well-coordinated, but its core motivation was not his own.

With the central granary of the Northern Huns ablaze, their eyes reddened. These grains were their stash to survive the winter. If they lost these grains, even without the Han Army, the surviving members of the Northern Huns absolutely couldn’t make it through the winter.

Hence, at the moment when the fire serpent soared to the sky in the central camp granary, all the Huns charged towards the Han Army like madmen.

No need to think about how the Han Army came or how many people would be lost, only to consider that if they couldn’t seize the grains in this battle, then the Kunlun Deity Descendant represented by the Northern Huns would extinct in the winter!

”Kill!” At that moment, regardless of gender, young or old, all Northern Huns picked up handy weapons and launched a desperate counterattack against the Han Army. The flames rising in the central camp represented the end of the Northern Huns’ fate, as the flames completely engulfed the Central Camp, the fate of the Northern Huns also came to an end.

”Jiangh Qi, how much time left!” Zhu Han beheaded a Northern Huns warrior before him with one blow, and shouted angrily without looking back.

”One Quarter Hour, within one Quarter Hour I can burn down all the granaries!” Jiangh Qi’s voice spread across the fields.

The Northern Huns who understood official language already knew what this One Quarter Hour meant. How much fate the Hun People had left depended on whether they could rush into the central camp to seize grains within this One Quarter Hour. If they could do it, then the Northern Huns still had a chance of survival; if not, then the history of the Northern Huns would end in this cold winter!
