Chapter 242: Huge Battle Damage

The Evil King and the King of Hutu are very concerned about the number of losses in the battle.

They were both together until the time of their childhood.

Because the corpses in the narrow border of Fuyangju Mountain are actually mostly Hun cavalry.

Next to it is a cliff, and if you stand on a high place and look at the battlefield, you can tell it at a glance.

Those lying on the ground in black fish-scale armor were all Han soldiers, and the rest of the corpses were needless to say that they were all Hun cavalry.

The method of counting heads was very slow, and it was not until the second half of the night that there was a result.

As soon as the vulture sent to the points got the news, they rushed to the tent of the Evil King.

"The King."

The vultures didn't expect that King Hugh Tu was still here.

"But the battle damage numbers are out?"

"Although our army won this battle, it was a crushing victory.

Our army now has just over 100,000 troops. ”

"What?"

Since the Han-Hun war, there has never been an example of losing 100,000 soldiers in World War I, neither the Han nor the Xiongnu have ever happened.

"How much did the Han cavalry lose?"

"Only 33,000 corpses of the Han army were left in Fuyang Jushan, and the rest are missing."

The Evil King suddenly felt a feeling of tightness in his chest.

"Three to one!

And even with absolute superiority!

When have we suffered such a loss!

Zhang Yuan, I swear by the Xiu Tu clan that I will not kill you in this life, and the Xiu Tu clan will not be the king in the desert! ”

The first to be angry was the Evil King, but in the end, it was the King of Hutu who couldn't hold back his anger.

King Hugh Tu's hatred for the Han was even stronger.

However, neither the Evil King nor the King of Hugh Tu could accept this result.

At first, the Aries King and the Lou Fu King were destroyed, and that was because the Han Dynasty dispatched an absolutely superior force.

In the case of a numerical disadvantage, it is not a strange thing that the Aries King and the Lou Fu King were destroyed.

But now King Hutu and King Hun Evil have an army of 200,000 against Zhang Yuan's army of 58,000, of which there are still 2,000 foot soldiers, so they only pulled the rope.

"The narrow terrain of Fuyangju Mountain is not good for us, so we shouldn't fight the Han people here!"

The Evil King said indignantly.

The 200,000 troops were crowded in the narrow mountains and could not get out, and the number could not be spread out, and the tens of thousands of people who were at the forefront of the melee with the Han army were always there.

Although it has always been a wheel battle, the Han army has extremely strong patience, and when it was about to be defeated, it immediately chose the strong man to break his wrist and retreat backwards.

If the fight continued, the Huns would definitely not consume more than 30,000 troops and would be able to wipe out the entire Han army.

And at the beginning of the battle in the narrow mountains, when the Xiongnu army was entangled by the vanguard army led by Zhang Cigong, it had already lost nearly 30,000 troops.

Although he lost later, the battle loss ratio was only two to one.

"Does it make sense to say that now?"

"So what do you say now?

The Han State must have had a follow-up move, and Zhang Yuan repeatedly mentioned in his letters the reinforcements of the surrendered city, which I think cannot be fake. ”

"True or not, I don't care.

I will send an envoy to Dadanyu there, and say that I have encountered the full force of the Han army.

Ask him to support us. ”

"How can he support us in this situation?"

"Therefore, I sent messengers over to pretend.

Tomorrow morning, I will withdraw my troops with a section of rest and slaughter, and recuperate.

I believe that Zhang Yuan, the Wei general of the Han Kingdom, will not be willing to be lonely.

If he appears on the west side of the river, I will take his head and make it into a wine cup." ”

The Evil King didn't expect that King Hutu was going to run away, but after thinking about it, it was also in line with his temperament.

There is a lot of uncertainty ahead, and the dangers outweigh the benefits.

But the Evil King thinks about it again, if you run away, don't you just throw me here.

If you want to ask the evil king if he dares to take 50,000 people to deal with Zhang Yuan's 25,000 people, he will definitely not dare.

"Don't wait a day to see what happens.

If there is really no way, I won't stop you, how about going back with you? ”

The Evil King rolled his eyes and made a plan in his heart.

"Good.

Then wait one more day. ”

King Hutu had already made a decision in his heart, and now he only stayed for one more day just thinking about the love between the two tribes.

After King Hutu and the vulture bones left the king's tent, the evil king immediately gathered his cronies.

"I'll write a letter to you later, and then you immediately go to the surrendered city, find Zhang Yuan, the Wei general of the Han Kingdom, and give him the letter!"

The Evil King almost gritted his teeth and said Zhang Yuan's name.

After the Evil King finished speaking, he took out a pen and paper from the box he was carrying, and began to write a letter to Zhang Yuan on the paper.

He carefully considered it, made sure that there was nothing wrong with what he wrote, put it in a bamboo tube and handed it to his cronies.

"Remember to hand it over to Zhang Yuan, don't let anyone know about this matter, understand?"

"Understood."

Although these cronies of the Evil King did not know why their king did this, they did so.

In the middle of the night, several Hun cavalry rode away in a southeasterly direction.

They were originally going to the surrendered city, but they didn't know that Zhang Yuan, who they were looking for, led a large army to block this road.

Because there were many soldiers who ran to the surrendered city, Zhang Yuan ordered the whole army to rest directly on this road, so that the soldiers who fled from the narrow side of Fuyangju Mountain and did not know where the large army was would definitely flee to the surrendered city.

It just so happened that Zhang Yuan led the army to block here, and he could receive the remnants of the army.

What Zhang Yuan wanted to know most was definitely the news of Li Fu, but it had been a while since Zhang Yuan came from the east with a large army.

That's why he sent someone to the city to see what was going on.

The cronies of the Evil King of Hun ran thirty miles to the southeast, and directly crashed into the warning range of the Han army.

The scout team sent out by Li Jian on duty directly captured these Huns.

If it weren't for the fact that they had shouted that they had something to give to Zhang Yuan from the beginning, they would probably have been killed on the spot.

When these Huns were brought to Zhang Yuan's camp, Zhang Yuan was a little stunned.

The reason for his stunned mind was, of course, because he was not comfortable being woken up in the middle of the night, coupled with the letter given to him by these Huns.

"General, this is what our king asked us to hand over to you."

Zhang Yuan, as the opponent of the Huns, must know what kind of person they are fighting against on this day.

"Your king? Hugh Tu King or Evil King? ”

"The Evil King."

"Did he tell you anything else?"

"The king only asks us to deliver this letter to you personally."

"Do you know how many men you've lost today?"

If the Xiongnu had not suffered heavy losses, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Hun Evil King to send someone to deliver the letter.

Several Huns shook their heads.

"This matter is confidential, and when King Hutu and the King of Hun discussed it, there were only three generals in the king's tent plus the notification.

However, today's No. 1 warrior suddenly captured a Han general. ”

They may have noticed something, so they almost answered Zhang Yuan's questions, and I have to tell you if you don't ask.

"Do you know his name?"

"It is said to be called Li Shuo."

The news that Li Shuo did not die surprised Zhang Yuan.

"Are they still with you?"

"We don't know."

"Let's go on."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and motioned for the scouts to take these Huns down, and then opened the letter directly.

After reading the letter, Zhang Yuan was a little confused.

God gave him a big gift, and he couldn't bear it all of a sudden.

The evil king said that he intended to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and was willing to cooperate with the Han army inside and outside, and the king of Hutu and the 50,000 troops under his command were the meeting gifts given to Zhang Yuan by the evil king of Hun Evil, but Zhang Yuan himself had to lead the army to get it.

In other words, others will only think that this is a trap, a big trap.

But Zhang Yuan believed it directly.

With the personality of the Evil King, he is able to do such a thing.

Moreover, within the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Shan Yu had long been dissatisfied with the two kings of Hexi.

As the saying goes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu is the emperor, and the evil king and the king of Hutu are the princes and kings of the frontier.

It is already good to be able to listen to the command of the Hun Da Danyu, and it is basically impossible to let them dig out their hearts and lungs.

The Han Dynasty is now all pretending to have different intentions.

The evil king of Hun probably really felt that the Huns were out of play, so he thought that he would join the Han earlier, and he would be able to live some comfortable days in the future.

But in this matter, Zhang Yuan can't be the master.

There is no one who can call the shots in the whole of northern Xinjiang.

The only thing he can call the shots is to exterminate the 50,000 people of King Hutu first, and as for whether the Evil King accepts his surrender, Liu Che can only decide.

After Zhang Yuan thought about it, he immediately began to write letters, he wanted to write two letters, one for the evil king and one for Liu Che.

In a hurry, you can only cut it first and then play it.

After writing, Zhang Yuan shouted outside the account.

"Bring those three Huns in."

"Whoa."

After the three Huns came in, Zhang Yuan said to them with a pleasant face.

"This letter is for your Evil King.

Don't let the news slip away. ”

"General, please rest assured, the Evil King has already explained to us."

"Alright, you send the three of them out."

"Whoa."

After sending someone to send the three Huns away, Zhang Yuan fell on the bed again.

Although he did not personally go to the battlefield to fight the Huns on this day, he was no easier than any soldier.

The huge battle damage made Zhang Yuan a little sad.

And Li Fu's disappearance and Li Shuo's capture actually did not surprise Zhang Yuan.

In war, there can be immortals.

The soldiers under his command are almost two-thirds less, and it is not normal for a single general to have an accident.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yuan woke up and the first thing he did was to call all the generals over to discuss the matter.

Among this group, only Li Jian knew that the Huns had visited last night.

Zhang Yuan glanced at a general who was not very interested, and shook his head silently.

In their current situation, if they go to fight hard with the Hun cavalry with an army of 50,000, they may be able to plant themselves in it.

Zhang Yuan didn't dare to guarantee that the Evil King had the idea of driving the tiger and the wolf.

The only thing he dared to guarantee was that the Evil King really planned to pack and sell King Hutu.

"Wake up, everyone, now we are only thirty miles away from the Huns, if they know our location, they will not be able to rush over in half an hour!"

Zhang Yuan let out a loud shout, and a few people in the military tent sobered up a little.

"Last night, the messenger of the evil king came to me and said that he was asking for peace.

It is estimated that the losses of the Huns must be far greater than we imagined, so don't think that yesterday we were defeated.

Today I'm going to teach you a new word, it's called strategic retreat, you know! ”

Obviously, no one understands what Zhang Yuan is talking about about strategic retreat, and defeat is defeat for them.

Zhang Yuan knew that he couldn't understand it, so he unfolded the map with a wave of his big hand.

"Early tomorrow morning, the Evil King of Hun will block the east side of the narrow Fuyang Jushan Mountain, and prevent the 50,000 cavalry of the Hutu King's army from passing.

When the time comes, we will charge south and scatter the 50,000 cavalry of King Hugh Tu, preferably if we can capture King Hutu alive or kill him. ”

"General Wei, the last general feels that this move is too rash.

Aren't you worried that this is a trap designed by King Hutu and King Hun to deal with us? ”

Zhang Cigong felt that Zhang Yuan was a little aggressive.

"That's why I said charge from the south to the north.

Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to the cliff to investigate, and the number of people in the narrow mountain of Fuyang Jushan cannot be faked.

If it was really an ambush by the Huns, then we would have broken through the encirclement and rushed out. ”

Li Shuo's capture is absolutely inseparable from Zhang Cigong.

It is true that Zhang Yuan is unhappy with Li Shuo, but he doesn't want anyone to move other eyes on the battlefield.

"General Wei is the commander, if you think about it, the last general will have no objection."

"Xue Ren and Li Jian, how many men and horses are left in the Qimen Army and the Yulin Army?"

"General Huiwei, the Yulin Army of the Qimen Army is complete, and there are still 5,000 people who can fight."

Hearing this number, Zhang Yuan was relieved.

This is the trump card in his hand.

"When the time comes, the Yulin Army of the Gate Army will be the vanguard, and the rest of the soldiers will follow.

It's up to you to charge when you charge, if it's all designed by the Huns, as long as you can lead the army to break through the encirclement, we won't be at a loss. ”

"The last general understands!"

"Han Yu is here?"

"The last general!"

"You take the wounded soldiers and withdraw directly to the surrendered city!"

"General Wei?"

Han Yu had a look of struggle on his face, if the Evil King hadn't deceived Zhang Yuan, then tomorrow would be the day when a group of generals would be crowned.

At this time, when I returned to the city, let alone eating meat, I didn't even have to drink soup.

"Do as I order, don't let the wounded soldiers fight again!"

"Yes."

Not only did the generals not expect that Zhang Yuan would start the next battle at such a fast pace, but more importantly, they couldn't let the soldiers below relax.

On this very day, the cronies of the Evil King came twice.

once brought the news of Li Shuo, saying that he was taken away by the people of King Hugh, and that he was going to be escorted to the Xiongnu Dadanyu there, so that he could have an explanation.

The second is that the evil king of Hun was finally willing to tell Zhang Yuan about the battle damage of the Xiongnu to express his sincerity.

When Zhang Yuan knew that the Hun cavalry had lost nearly 100,000, he suddenly felt that it was all worth it.

Such a victory is what the big man needs.

As long as he can take down King Hugh Tu again, he will be able to draw a perfect end to this war.
