Chapter 12: One Arrow Kills the Elder Husband
Juqu Man was a member of the Heishachuo tribe of the Hu people. He was ordered to lead more than a hundred people to set up a stronghold in the place closest to the White Wolf outpost. On the one hand, he kept an eye on the movements of the Great Zhou soldiers, and on the other hand, he led his men to harass them, ensuring that the soldiers of the White Wolf outpost were always on high alert.
While Zhou Daxing, Huang Shan, Lu Xiao, and others were making their night raid, Juqu Man was drinking and making merry with several of his trusted generals in his tent.
In the center of the felt tent, several women from the Great Zhou Dynasty, whom they had abducted, were dancing.
Juqu Man, full of heroic spirit, raised his wine cup and laughed at the crowd:
"The White Wolf outpost was harassed by my troops a few days ago. They certainly didn't expect that I had sent out more than fifty men disguised as hunters to sneak over there quietly."
"Once we figure out the troop deployment at White Wolf Outpost in just two days, we can march straight in and take over this annoying outpost!"
"Come, let us drink this cup to the brim, and toast to the impending victory!"
"Done..."
Upon hearing this, the Hu soldiers raised their cups in response, their unrestrained laughter echoing from the felt tent, much to the envy of the other Hu soldiers.
Around 9 PM, Juqu Man casually pushed aside the Zhou woman lying beside him. Seeing that the other generals were all fast asleep, he walked out of the tent alone, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he looked in the direction of the White Wolf outpost.
"Luo Yang, I, the Juqu Man, will surely raze the White Wolf Outpost to the ground and personally cut off your head to commemorate the fallen warriors of my tribe!"
call out--
Suddenly, the sound of arrows pierced the night sky.
Juqu Man suddenly focused his gaze, and then saw a Hu soldier rushing over anxiously, saying:
"Centurion, the Zhou are attacking!"
"How dare they?"
Upon hearing this, he immediately smiled.
Perhaps because he had drunk too much wine that night, Juqu Man casually pushed the scout aside upon hearing the news, drew his curved sword from his waist, and immediately headed south.
"A few men, come with me to meet the enemy!"
"Centurion, shall we awaken Juqusha and the other ten men?"
"No need!"
Juqu Man stood with his head held high:
"These mere two-legged sheep are nothing to me; I could kill them with a flick of my wrist. Why bother the warriors of the tribe?"
After saying this, he strictly forbade the scouts from calling more men, and then led a dozen or so Hu soldiers to the south gate of the stronghold, mounted his warhorse, and waited patiently.
A short while later, a Hu soldier lying on the ground hurriedly raised his head to report:
"They're here!"
"Looks like we've been discovered!"
Meanwhile, Huang Shan and the others stood on a small hill about a mile outside the stronghold, and looking into the distance, they saw bright lights in the direction they were facing. Their faces immediately fell into worry.
"Old Zhou, Juqu Man has over a hundred men under his command. If we, a dozen or so, directly force our way in, we probably won't gain any advantage. What should we do next?"
"Those barbarians dared to ride into our Great Zhou territory, wantonly burning, killing, and looting. Why can't we use the same method to kill them all without leaving a single one alive?"
Before Zhou Daxing could speak, another squad leader, his eyes red, gave a low shout.
Besides Zhou Daxing and Huang Shan, four squad leaders also came tonight, each accompanied by an old soldier traveling light.
The sergeant who spoke was named Zhao Xiaoqi. He originally had seven brothers and sisters, but now all three of his older brothers had died at the hands of the Hu people, leaving him as the only son in the family!
Of all those present, he harbored the deepest hatred for the Hu people!
After saying that, he was about to rush down the earthen slope and storm into the Hu people's stronghold to avenge his brothers.
The other squad leaders were all tempted upon seeing this, but Lu Xiao spoke up loudly at that moment:
"Please hear me out!"
"Our night raid isn't a suicide mission; it's to seize food, money, and meat for our brothers. We can't rely on brute force; we must outsmart them!"
"If you trust me, seven or eight men can charge forward first, unleashing a volley of arrows before immediately returning, trying not to hit anything. The rest of you can slowly approach and observe the Hu people's reaction!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Daxing, who pondered for a moment, then nodded and replied in a low voice:
"Let's do as Lu Xiao says; after all, he's the commander of tonight's operation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three squad leaders each led an old soldier down the hillside. After rushing to the stronghold a hundred or two paces away, they immediately drew their bows and launched their arrows.
Upon seeing this, Juqu Man, standing at the entrance of the gathering place, almost burst into laughter:
"Look at these weak Zhou people. They want to avenge our last attack, but they only dare to fire a few arrows from a distance."
"These arrows can't even reach us, how laughable!"
"Hahaha……"
The Hu soldiers laughed loudly, and then they heard Juqu Man shout with murderous intent:
"Warriors, kill!"
Rumbling--
In an instant, dozens of Hu soldiers rushed out of their stronghold, intending to devour the two-legged sheep that had been delivered to their doorstep.
On the small hill, Lu Xiao stared intently at Zhao Xiaoqi and his comrades who were returning. As the Hu soldiers drew closer, he took out the Mountain-Shattering Divine Bow from his back, drew an arrow, and aimed it at the Hu soldier who was charging at the front.
Without Zhou Daxing and the others pointing it out, he recognized that the man was the leader of the Hu people, after all, the man's armor was the best and his warhorse was the most handsome!
Under the moonlight, the Mountain-Shattering Arrow, which was thicker than ordinary arrows, emitted a cold, icy light. As Lu Xiao pulled it back with force, it began to tremble urgently.
Whoosh!
The next instant, the arrow whistled through the air.
As Juqu Man charged forward, he felt a chill between his brows and looked up to see a trembling goose feather fall into his eyes.
puff-
He fell to the ground on his galloping warhorse, rolled several times and lay motionless, and was even trampled a few times by the hooves of his tribesmen.
At the same time, Zhou Daxing immediately raised his sword and shouted as he charged forward:
"Kill the prisoners!"
"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"
The soldiers charged forward with all their might, and soon they were engaged in close combat with the Hu soldiers.
When Lu Xiao was about a hundred paces away from the Hu soldiers, he fired several arrows in quick succession. However, this great opportunity was fleeting, so he hurriedly put away his Mountain-Shattering Bow, picked up the Black Dragon Spear from the side of his horse, and swept it across the Hu soldiers coming towards him.
Boom!
With a muffled thud, three or four Hu soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
The difference between being prepared and fighting hasty is huge. In just a short while, Lu Xiao and his men had wiped out all the Hu soldiers who had come out to pursue them.
Zhao Xiaoqi forcefully wiped away the blood from the corner of his eye, his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at the Hu people's stronghold, his killing intent palpable.
"Shouldn't we charge in now?"
"kill!"
Before anyone could speak, the Hu soldiers in the stronghold, seeing that their centurion and others had been wiped out, beat drums and gongs, hastily put on their outer garments, and rushed out.
They didn't even wear armor!
Seeing more than twenty wolves emerge from their cage, Zhou Daxing immediately waved his hand:
"withdraw!"
An accident happened.
Zhao Xiaoqi, who had been in a bloodthirsty frenzy, disregarded Zhou Daxing's orders and charged alone at the twenty-odd Hu soldiers!
This scene terrified everyone.
His friend, the sergeant Gao Hong, shouted and followed:
"Xiao Qi, come back!"
"It's too late..."
Seeing this, Lu Xiao, who was on horseback, also rushed over:
"The Hu people are skilled horsemen. Now that our centurion is dead, they will fight us to the death. We have no choice but to fight!"
"Moreover, I don't think there are as many people in this Hu (barbarian) stronghold as you and I imagine..."
