This was because the countless Xiongnu cavalrymen behind him could not stop at all. Although they tried their best to control their horses and make them stop, they were too close. They could not stop at all.
King Zhelan, who had been pacing back and forth at the edge of the deep pit, charged over.
Before King Zhelan could figure out what was going on, he was already thrown into a deep pit by a warhorse. He didn't even have time to scream.
When King Zhelan was knocked into the deep pit, countless Xiongnu cavalrymen charged into the huge pit like an unstoppable flood.
About three to four thousand cavalrymen fell into the deep pit.
The neighing of warhorses and the miserable cries of Xiongnu cavalrymen echoed in the darkness.
When these cavalry finally managed to pull on the reins, the cavalry behind them would regroup and charge at the Turkic cavalry that had originally stopped.
Therefore, this despair and wailing never ended.
After knowing this, the other cavalrymen stopped. This huge pit directly laid down 6,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen.
However, before the Xiongnu cavalrymen could react, Wang Hui, who was in the circle of fire, shouted again,"Light the fire and release the arrows!"
All of a sudden, countless arrows with fiery light shot accurately at the huge pit.
The Xiongnu cavalrymen who were in a panic could not shoot arrows at all. They could only stop in their tracks and stare at their classmates with their mouths agape. They were completely a bunch of live targets.
The two-meter-tall wall of fire was also shining.
The Xiongnu cavalrymen who had stopped were like a light in the dark night, and it was a perfect opportunity for the archers to kill them.
With the help of the archers, a large number of the Xiongnu cavalrymen fell.
When these Xiongnu cavalrymen saw that the situation wasn't right, they immediately decided to escape.
Not long after, the cavalrymen disappeared into the night.
No one cared about King Zhelan's life or death.
After seeing the Xiongnu cavalry escape, Wang Hui did not let his guard down.
Even though they had set up traps in advance, and the effects were especially good, it was beyond their imagination.
However, there were still about 20,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen.
If these Xiongnu cavalrymen were to once again turn the tide, it would bring them an indelible heavy blow.
Therefore, just in case, Wang Hui did not dare to relax.
Time passed just like that.
The fire in the ring of fire also began to slowly diminish.
The two-meter-tall wall of fire slowly shrank to one meter, half a meter, and finally, it could be ignored.
The true appearance of the entire wall of fire was also revealed. It was all made up of layers of charcoal that were more than two meters tall.
As the fire gradually died down, the charcoal slowly turned gray, but the temperature was still as hot as ever.
The sudden high temperature caused the air to change.
At this moment, Wang Hui lay down on the ground and listened for a while. Then, he sighed and said to Ying Jing,"Your Highness, those Xiongnu cavalry should have left.”
When Ying Jing heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's good that they've left. We've barely survived this crisis.”
"Let's go and take a look at the casualties. Our losses this time are probably not small.”
Wang Hui nodded and looked at the huge pit. He said,"Your Highness is still better than us. If it wasn't for Your Highness insisting that we dig this huge pit, I'm afraid tonight's matter wouldn't have been resolved so easily.”
Ying Jing shook his head." It's actually nothing. I just took a gamble."”
"We will use the probing method to form a fire circle as a defense. Those Xiongnu cavalry will either charge over with their horses blindfolded, or they will see if they can surround us with their riding and shooting skills.”
"So I asked them to dig a deep pit ten meters deep and eight meters wide in this ring of fire. If they dare to charge, they will definitely fall into this ditch.”
"If they were to shoot at me, I would dig a huge pit outside the circle and cover it with wooden planks. I don't believe that they would be able to escape in the dark.”
"But these are just some strategies. They can only temporarily resist these Xiongnu cavalry. I didn't expect them to retreat so easily.”
Wang Hui nodded and smiled." No matter what, we have won this battle. Moreover, we have also dealt a huge blow to these Xiongnu people. Anyway, they shouldn't dare to do anything to us in the short term."”
Ying Jing smiled and said," I hope so. But we can't slack off in the slightest. So, I've decided that in the current situation, our territory should focus on the army first."”
Wang Hui nodded. He looked at the deep pit and said,"How does Your Highness plan to deal with the people inside? There are still many people here who might not be dead yet.”
Ying Jing's eyes were incomparably cold as he said,""These people, fill in some lime and bury it all.”
"Understood."
……………………
When the morning sun shone on Ying Jing's territory again.
Everything in the territory was the same as before.
What happened last night seemed like a dream to everyone.
Only the 1,000 newly built graves and tombstones outside the territory were still telling others about the death battle that happened last night.
Even though the battle last night was not considered an official battle on the battlefield, it did allow Ying Jing to have a new understanding of the Xiongnu's riding and archery skills and combat strength.
The 2,000 people who had lost their lives this time were all killed by the Xiongnu people.
Not only that, but there were also 1,500 people in the army who were shot by the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu people's fighting strength and riding and shooting skills were indeed much stronger than Ying Jing had imagined.
This was also the time when the Xiongnu were rising step by step. It was unknown how terrifying their strength would be when they really rose in the future.
However, Ying Jing also reflected on the reason for his side. The reason why he lost so many people this time was partly because he was not prepared.
If he hadn't been hoping for a fluke and hadn't built the city wall, he wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss.
Therefore, Ying Jing had learned this painful lesson and decided to do two things. He would use all his strength to carry out these two things.
The first thing he did was, of course, to use all his strength to build his own city. In a situation like last night, if he could have a few meters high earthen wall, he might be able to avoid a lot of losses.
Secondly, he had to expand the army and strengthen the training of the army. When real danger came and he was faced with life and death, he would truly realize how important a truly powerful army was to him.
After having a goal, Ying Jing began to work hard to implement it.
The 100,000 commoners in the territory were all mobilized by Ying Jing.
In order to build this huge city better, Ying Jing even used his points to exchange for a construction talent from the system's shopping mall. He was specially responsible for the planning and construction of his city.
The grand city construction operation had begun.
