Chapter 260(3/3)
"what happened!"
He unexpectedly heard the faint sound of horse hooves in the wind and snow.
"Oops!"
Years of fighting immediately made him realize something was wrong.
At this moment, the rumble of horse hoofs suddenly reached his ears.
"Enemy attack!"
Before he could think about it carefully, Chang Rui immediately shouted.
"Second and third sons... enemy attack..."
The dozen or so Han soldiers in the tent quickly put on their armor and rushed out of the tent.
They rushed to the stables immediately. When they jumped on their horses, the Huns cavalry had already rushed into the camp.
"Second and third sons, kill them!"
Chang Rui took the lead and led everyone to kill outside the camp.
At this time, the unsuspecting Wusun people had been broken out of the camp by the Huns.
Many soldiers didn't even have time to get up, and were killed in the warmth of their beds.
Although some Wusun warriors who responded quickly tried their best to resist, they were of no avail in front of the attacking Huns army.
At this time, a group of Huns cavalry discovered Chang Rui and others. Led by a Huns who looked like an officer, they came to kill them.
"clang!"
Although he blocked the first Huns' attack, he could not block the subsequent attacks.
Seeing that Chang Rui was about to die under the sword of the Huns, an arrow flew over and saved him in time.
…
Almost at the same time that General Right launched his attack, King Wuchan also launched his attack at the same time.
The western camp that was attacked by the Huns cavalry was no different from the eastern camp. The whole camp was filled with screams.
The entire Chi Valley was filled with the weird killing sounds of the Huns cavalry. Every Huns had red eyes and screamed strangely as they chased the fleeing enemies.
Although King Youxian issued an order strictly prohibiting setting fires before the war started, some Huns who were red-eyed still lit fires.
Under the reflection of the fire, Chigu City was like hell. The screams of Wusun people were everywhere.
Wusun Xihou, who was responsible for the defense of Chigu, had just crawled out of his warm bed when he was shot to death by a Huns.
The fires and shouts of death from the east and west camps alerted the central camp.
Captain Wusun Wan of the central camp looked at the camps on the east and west sides in stunned silence.
"what to do?"
The Wusun Qianqi Commander and the nobles on the left and right asked in panic.
"You don't have to ask to send troops to rescue immediately!"
The speaker was a young Wusun noble who had also accompanied Yuan Guimi to study in Luntai.
Wusun Wanqi Commander hesitated for a moment and then ordered, "Assemble the entire army!"
Although his orders were issued promptly, the soldiers' response was quite slow.
By the time the entire army was assembled, the defeated troops from the east and west had already poured in.
"Captain Wanqi, what are you still hesitating about? Do you want to surrender to the Huns..."
The Wusun nobles in the camp shouted and urged to send troops.
After weighing it in his mind, Wusun Wanqi Commander ordered an attack to the east.
"Warriors... fight back..."
Although the Wusun people launched a counterattack, due to the terrain restrictions, the war horses could not charge forward at all.
The Wusun cavalry, who had lost their horse speed, were like babies in front of the Huns, unable to fight back.
After only holding on for less than two quarters of an hour, the Wusun people collapsed completely, turning around and running away one by one, crying...
Chang Rui and others saw that something was necessary and hurried to the north.
Soon they arrived at the foot of a cliff.
"Second and Third Son, it's urgent... abandon your horse quickly..."
A group of Han soldiers led by Chang Rui abandoned their horses and climbed up the cliff.
When they looked back behind them, the entire Chi Valley was already on fire everywhere.
"Walk!"
Chang Rui and others did not dare to stay and hurriedly headed north along the dense forest.
Along the way, they encountered Huns' cavalry many times. Fortunately, they were able to escape due to the cover of dense forests and darkness.
At dawn, they finally found a secluded shelter by the Khotan Pool.
