Chapter 90 It’s all yours! (1)
Soon, the Xiongnu were awakened from their sleep and ran out of the burning yurts in panic. However, the sword that had been aimed at them were waiting for them.
In the fire, the swords were glowing a dazzling and cold glow like the teeth of giant beats, wanting to swallow them all.
Not even in their dreams had the Xiongnu thought that they would be attacked by people wearing the uniform of Great Liang’s soldiers. In their eyes, the soldiers of Great Liang had always been cowards, only knew to retreat and became lambs being slaughtered by their machete. How could they have the guts to attack them?
Under the light of the fire, the expression of the imperial soldiers was exceptionally ferocious. They were not like the soldiers of the northwest army who brought the fear for the Xiongnu in their bones. Although, they had heard about the fierceness and cruelty of the Xiongnu, but they had come from the imperial capital, were the closest guards to the son on the heaven and had always claimed to have the strongest combat power in Great Liang. Although, they had heard of the horror of the Xiongnu, but they were not willing to show weakness.
With Zhao Zimu’s leadership, the lights of the fire and the cover of the night, all the doubts and uneasiness were buried. After the long swords of Great Liang’s soldiers were stained with the blood the Xiongnu, the fierceness in the bones of all the imperial guards had been stimulated. They became fearless and when their sword aimed at the Xiongnu who were struggling to resist, they would only kill them with more brutal force like a tiger.
When the fire began to surround the camp of the Xiongnu, Zhao Zimu had already set up ambushes all around for the Xiongnu. When the panicked Xiongnu rushed out of the yurts, Zhao Zimu had ordered the archers and swordsmen to make an ambush. The swordsmen advanced forward while the archers provided support at the back. As long as a Xiongnu tried to escape the archers would kill them, not missing one.
There may be people who would say that when placing the troop, Zhao Zimu should let the archers shoot a round first and the let the swordsmen charge in. That way would lessen the casualties. The killing of the Xiongnu would also become easier afterwards.
But Zhao Zimu didn’t. She knew that that method was convenient, but she wanted to let these imperial soldiers experience firsthand that the Xiongnu were not so terrible when they encountered themselves in the same condition. In other words, no matter how terrible the Xiongnu was, they would fall under the sword of Great Liang.
It could also be said that she was using the Xiongnu of this tribe as training for these imperial soldiers!
To develop the courage of these imperial soldiers and inspire their fierceness, they were soldiers, so, no matter how powerful their enemies were theoretically, they should not have any fear!
This fire also caused the Xiongnu to lose their heads out of panic. Some Xiongnu were killed by the sword without knowing what was happening. Many of them had no time to pick up their weapons and hurriedly confronted the soldiers of Great Liang without clothes on. How strong were such Xiongnu?
If the imperial soldiers couldn’t even fight against such Xiongnu, Zhao Zimu would have to reconsider whether she needed to take them with her to go search for Lin Qing.
Fortunately, these soldiers of the son of heaven really lived up to the expectations. It only took a short time to behead all the people of this tribe. Only some old people and children were left.
Before, they attacked, Zhao Zimu ordered them to not touch these young and old ones, otherwise, this bloodshot imperial troop would’ve slaughtered all the people of this tribe.
Standing beside Zhao Zimu were Yue Shi and the few guards of the Prefecture of Arrest that Lin Qing left her. Zhang Xin also stood at their side. However, he had long been shocked.
There was a trace of fear in his eyes that sneaked glances at Zhao Zimu. He also quickly eliminated the thoughts he shouldn’t have in his heart, not letting those thoughts leave even a trace.
Ever since the beginning, Zhao Zimu had threatened him overtly and secretly. Although, it couldn’t be ruled out that he was really a bit afraid of her, but he also wanted to see her ability.
In fact, the people of the Prefecture of Arrest were even more close to the emperor than them who are from the Forbidden Army. Because every time there was a big event in the imperial household, those people would take on the same responsibility as them, that was, to protect the emperor and they even stood in deadlier positions than them.
Furthermore, that group of people was bossy and domineering because of the shielding of the emperor. They also didn’t shrink from any crime. They interrogated under torture, extorted confessions, framed and implicated others. They had unnumerable strategies. Who in the capital didn’t fear them? Not to mention that he was merely someone who had been temporarily chosen to lead the five thousand imperial soldiers. If Lin Qing dies this time, presumably, his career would also be over. Those in the court who only always looked at the results and not the cause, how could they promote someone who even let his superior lose his life?
Besides, Zhang Xin believed that it wouldn’t be difficult for the people of the Prefecture of Arrest to retaliate against him. He, Zhang Xin wasn’t so arrogant to believe that he had the power to confront these people who even the high-ranked and noble people of the court didn’t dare to provoke.
Moreover, the fault of this time didn’t lay on him. Lin Qing decided to go to Sha City with about thousand people by himself. He had already done his job. Now that something had gone wrong, who could blame him if the person was not saved?
Besides, if the people he led rescued Lin Qing, then no matter if it was facing the court or Lin Qing, he had accomplished something great. That was why, Zhang Xin would silently let Zhao Zimu lead them to the grassland and obey her command.
