Great Han’s Female General Wei Qiqi - Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Just when she was feeling bored, a soldier frantically ran to Qiqi’s front and knelt on the ground . He anxiously pointed to the outside, as if there was something big happening .

“Reporting to General Qi, there is a small team of Xiongnu rushing towards the camp!”

“Xiongnu?” Wei Qiqi stood up . That wasn’t right . If they were attacking from the desert, they would definitely meet up with Liu Zhongtian’s troops . How did they appear in the vicinity of the camp?

No matter what, this was the only retreat route of the Great Han army . It would be a mess if the Xiongnu destroyed the rations . By then the Great Han army will descend into a situation where they find it hard to advance or retreat . This small team must be the remnants of the Xiongnu army .

What should we do? Wei Qiqi was frantic . In this desert where there was nothing, how could they resist the attacks of the Xiongnu? Suddenly, she thought of the nettings…and the empty castle scheme by Zhuge Liang . It was an emergency, who knew if it would be useful .

“Order the soldiers to quickly bury the nettings in the sand, around the army camp!” Wei Qiqi ordered .

“General Qi, there isn’t enough time!”

“Bury as much as you all can, but concentrate mainly on the camp’s front side!”

“Yes!” The soldier received the order and left .

Wei Qiqi returned to the big tent and changed into armor . She took down the sword by the wall and unsheathed it . She was thinking, if she really died in battle today, it was better than living in the Great Han in an ugly and boring manner . As a woman, to be so ugly, it was better to be dead .

Also, she couldn’t bring herself to promise Liu Zhongtian to return to the capital with him . As the Duke, he should marry someone beautiful . There was no need to let the world tease him . The Royal Concubine dying in battle may be a good method .

Wei Qiqi carried the sword and walked out of the big tent . The soldiers were all trying their best to bury the nettings in the perimeter of the camp . With these nettings, they could stop the Xiongnu from attacking through the sand . They could easily finish all the Xiongnu in this manner .

What’s left was to fight it out . Hopefully her own brains didn’t rust because of the comfort of the past few days .

Wei Qiqi ordered the remaining ten over soldiers to take out all the blankets in the camp, rolling it together and place it on the empty ground in the camp . The soldiers all trusted Wei Qiqi implicitly, however they didn’t understand why she did that . Could the blankets be used as weapons to use?

“General Qi, what uses does these blankets have?” A soldier was rolling it while asking .

Wei Qiqi laughed lightly, “If I didn’t guess wrongly, this small team is the retaliation from the Xiongnu remnants . If the enemy is from the Xiongnu camp, they would’ve met up with the Duke’s troops . They don’t know our real strength . These blankets looked like men . They wouldn’t dare to enter recklessly!”

“That is great . They won’t attack us will they? We have too few men!”

“They don’t know our strength, hence they don’t dare to do a frontal assault . However they will ambush through the sand!”

“Through the sand?” The soldiers were somewhat scared . The previous time, General Qi was almost pierced to death by those soldiers hiding in the sand .

Now they didn’t know whether such a method would work against the Xiongnu .

“Creating so many fake soldiers is to force them to go through the sand . Only then would we have a chance of winning!”

To force them to go through the sand, the soldiers were somewhat depressed . These nettings could only block for awhile . The Xiongnu could easily escape from the nettings .
