Chapter 608: The Grassland Coalition Army is disbanded
On the afternoon of June 27, in a huge felt bag in the camp of the grassland coalition army, the great sweaters of the seven powerful tribes gathered here, everyone's face was like a mournful test, and the bloody battle with the broken army for two days and one night, the army of all ethnic groups suffered extremely heavy losses, and even many small tribes joined the cavalry units of the coalition army, after these two days and one night, all died.
The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Ti, said with a gloomy face: "The losses of the various ethnic groups have been counted, the number of dead alone has exceeded 3.6 million, and now the total strength of the various ethnic groups gathered here in Xinning City is less than 4.3 million, the two million Hun cavalry brought by the Great Khan this time, in addition to the 50,000 people sent to the Donghu grassland, there are less than 900,000 left, and the Yiqu tribe, the Xubu tribe, the Liyi tribe, the Suli tribe, the Hulu tribe and the thirty-eight small tribes that depend on our Xiongnu, the 1.2 million cavalry gathered this time, At present, there are less than 500,000 left, and the casualties are too great! β
The Great Khan of the Khitan tribe, Yelu Dilie, sighed and said: "This Great Khan brought 1.3 million Khitan cavalry this time, except for the 50,000 people sent to the Donghu grassland, there are less than 600,000 left, and the White Tanning Tribe, the Limo Tribe, the Yilu Tribe, the Kulu Tribe, the Shatuo Tribe, and the twenty-six small tribes that are attached to our Khitan, the 700,000 cavalry gathered this time, also lost more than 400,000, and it is difficult to fight this battle anymore, alasββ"
When Murong Ke, the Great Khan of Xianbei, heard the tone of the Great Khan of the Xiongnu and Khitan tribes, he had some intention of retreating, and couldn't help but say with a gloomy face: "Luan Ti Mao Great Khan, Yelu Enemy Great Khan, at the beginning, our seven Great Khans all patted their chests and promised to fight to the end with the Broken Army!" β
Among the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan tribes, the territories of the Xiongnu and Khitan tribes are not directly adjacent to the Western Regions Protectorate of the Broken Army, and the territory of the Xianbei Tribe, but with the Western Regions Protectorate of the Broken Army, there is a long border line.
After the defeat of the coalition of the nine powerful clans of the grassland last time, the Xianbei tribe ceded about 500,000 square kilometers of grassland north of the Gunas River to the Broken Army because they were afraid of the retaliation of the Broken Army, and also gave 900,000 slaves, 200,000 taels of gold, 300,000 war horses, 100,000 cattle and 5 million sheep as the dowry of the Xianbei princess Murong Xue, and also gave it to Liu Ji.
It is precisely because the Xianbei tribe was blackmailed so many things by the Broken Capture Army that this time the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke joined the grassland coalition army very happily.
The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Ti, smiled bitterly and said: "Murong Ke Great Khan, plus the previous loss of 1.5 million people of all ethnic groups, more than half of our entire grassland coalition army has been lost, such a big loss has made the morale of the army of all ethnic groups very low, and it is almost impossible to defeat the broken army here in Xinning City, not to mention that the Great Wan Kingdom and the Qingyi tribe are basically not able to count on it, and our coalition army is still scattered!" β
Although the army of the Great Wan Kingdom has not yet withdrawn from the territory of the Western Regions Protectorate, the army of the Great Wan Kingdom has withdrawn from the Western Regions Protectorate because of the great losses, and the army of the Qingyi Nationality has been driven out of Huazhou by the Broken Army.
The Khitan Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie immediately said: "Just now, hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the Broken Army have arrived in Xinning City, it seems that it is impossible for our coalition army to defeat the millions of troops of the Broken Army here in Xinning City, and the Great Khan agrees to disband the coalition army!" β
At this time, the Great Khan of the Xirong tribe, Arishan, also said: "This Great Khan brought 800,000 Xirong cavalry this time, in addition to the 50,000 people sent to the Donghu grassland, there are still 300,000 left, and the Yuemo tribe, Liji tribe and 23 small tribes attached to our Xirong, the 400,000 cavalry gathered this time also lost more than half, this battle really can't be fought, and our Xirong tribe agrees to disband the coalition army." β
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke said urgently: "Although our tribes have suffered great losses, but the Broken Army also has a lot of casualties, our Clans can send some more troops to Xinning City, if the coalition army can't defeat the Broken Army this time, our tribes will definitely suffer from the crazy revenge of the Broken Army!" β
After exchanging glances with the Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie, Luan Timao sighed and said: "Murong Ke Great Khan, our Huns have already done our best to gather two million cavalry this time, and it is impossible to send reinforcements here in Xinning City." β
Yelu Dilie nodded and said, "The same is true for our Khitan clan, it is impossible to send additional Khitan cavalry here in Xinning City." β
In fact, Luan Timao and Yelu Enemy Lie knew very well in their hearts that even if the Broken Army wanted to retaliate, it would not be able to retaliate against the Xiongnu and Khitan for the time being, and the Xianbei tribe would bear the brunt, so there was not much pressure on the Xiongnu and Khitan tribes to disband the grassland coalition army.
The killing intent in the eyes of the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke flashed, and when he heard that the Xiongnu Great Khan Luan Timao and the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie were so determined to disband the coalition army, Murong Ke couldn't wait to immediately draw his knife and cut down the two of them.
Murong Ke said in a deep voice: "Luan Ti is the Great Khan, Yelu is the Great Khan, could it be that your decision to disband the coalition has been decided?" β
The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Ti, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Murong Ke Great Khan, now the cavalry of all ethnic groups has lost more than five million, and the Dawan Kingdom and the Qingyi tribe have suffered heavy defeats one after another, this time it is impossible to defeat the Broken Army, in order to avoid greater losses of the cavalry of all ethnic groups, it can only dissolve the alliance, if the Broken Army is unwilling to give up and retaliate against the Xianbei or other ethnic groups, our Xiongnu are willing to send troops to help." β
The Khitan Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie said: "If the Broken Army launches an attack on the territory of the Xianbei tribe, our Khitan tribe is also willing to send troops to aid the Xianbei tribe. β
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke snorted coldly and said: "That Great Khan represents the Xianbei clan, thank you Luan Ti Mao Great Khan and Yelu Enemy Great Khan first!" Now that the coalition is about to be disbanded, there is no point in us studying anything, and the Great Khan will take his leave! β
After Murong Ke, the Great Khan of Xianbei, finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the felt bag without looking back.
The Xiongnu Great Khan Luan Timao saw the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke leave the felt bag angrily, pursed his lips and asked the Great Khan of the Donghu Tribe, Yishag, the Great Khan of the Tiele Tribe, Ji Rimu, and the Great Khan of the Karasuma Tribe, Zhaonastu: "I wonder if the Donghu Tribe, the Tiele Tribe, and the Karasuma Tribe, agree to the dissolution of the coalition army?" β
In addition to the 200,000 cavalry each sent to the Donghu grassland, the cavalry of these three tribes, plus the cavalry of the subordinate tribes attached to the three tribes, was only about 400,000 after two days and one night of bloody battles.
The Great Khan of the Tiele Tribe, Jirimu, and the Great Khan of the Karasuma Clan, Zhao Nastu, both nodded immediately, expressing their agreement to disband the coalition army, only the Great Khan of the Donghu tribe, Ishag, said with a bitter face: "Our Donghu tribe is adjacent to the Western Regions Protectorate of the Broken Army, after the dissolution of the coalition army, our Eastern Hu tribe will definitely suffer the retaliation of the Broken Army, and our Donghu Tribe's own strength alone will not be able to withstand the retaliation of the Broken Army!" β
The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Timao, immediately said: "Great Khan of Ishag, rest assured, our Huns will never sit idly by and watch the Broken Army invade the territory of the Donghu people. β
Hearing the assurances of the Xiongnu Great Khan Luan Timao, the Great Khan of the Donghu tribe Yishag breathed a sigh of relief, the Donghu tribe and the territory of the Xiongnu tribe are adjacent to each other, once the Broken Army annexes the entire steppe of the Eastern Hu Tribe, then the Xiongnu will become neighbors with the evil tiger of the Broken Army, presumably the Xiongnu are not willing to have more neighbors of the Broken Army.
"In that case, then our Donghu clan also agrees to disband the coalition army!" The Great Khan of the Donghu tribe, Ishag, hurriedly said.
The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Timao, immediately said loudly: "Since the Great Khan of all ethnic groups has no opinions, then our cavalry of all ethnic groups should hurry up and pack their bags today, and our cavalry of all ethnic groups will leave Xinning City early tomorrow morning." β
At this time, the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie said: "When the cavalry of our various tribes retreats, we have to guard against the pursuit of the Broken Army, and the Broken Army may not let the cavalry of our various tribes leave smoothly. β
After Murong Ke, the Great Khan of Xianbei, returned to the camp of the Xianbei tribe in the camp of the grassland coalition army, he immediately sent someone to find his son Murong Xiong, the king of Xianbei Zuoxian.
"Alas-indeed, as you expected, the Xiongnu, Khitan, and Xirong tribes all demanded the dissolution of the coalition army, and this time the alliance of the seven tribes is yellow again!" Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke sighed and said.
Murong Xiong, King of Zuoxian, said with a wry smile: "The reason why all the ethnic groups were able to form a coalition this time was all because of the ally of the Dawan Kingdom, but unfortunately the Dawan Kingdom lost more than five million people in less than a month, and it is difficult to pose any too much threat to the Western Regions Protectorate of the Broken Army, and now the combined forces of our various ethnic groups have lost more than five million people, and the Xiongnu, Khitan and other tribes must be unwilling to continue fighting, anyway, the territory of the Xiongnu, Khitan and other tribes is not adjacent to the territory of the Broken Army." β
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke shook his head helplessly and said: "The coalition army is disbanded, the Broken Army may not be willing to give up, if we don't get it, our Xianbei Clan will become the target of the Broken Army's revenge, this time our Xianbei Clan sent 1.5 million troops, and now there are only more than 700,000 people left, and the 800,000 cavalry gathered this time also suffered very large losses, leaving less than 400,000, and then facing the possible retaliation of the Broken Army, The losses of our Xianbei clan will inevitably continue to increase. β
Murong Xiong, King of Zuoxian, hesitated for a moment and said, "Father Khan, Sister Xue'er is Liu Ji's wife after all, why don't we Xianbei clan make peace with the Broken Army again!" No matter how much you give the Broken Army something, it's better than breaking the net with the Broken Army! β
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that the son-in-law of Ben Great Khan is unwilling to make peace with our Xianbei clan anymore." β
The Breaker Army was still preparing for the next wave of the Steppe Alliance's offensive, but on the morning of June 28, the scouts of the Breaker Army discovered that the Steppe Coalition Army had begun to retreat.
In a conference hall in the Xinning Chengzhou Pastoral Mansion, Liu Ji said with a smile: "It seems that the Hu people can't stand it, this time the coalition formed by the seven strong clans of the grassland has been disbanded if it can't be done!" β
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "What the lord said is extremely true, after all, the nomads are nomads, once the losses are too large, the nomads will not have the confidence to continue fighting, in the previous two days and one night of battle, the cavalry of the various tribes of the grassland alliance army lost at least three million or more, such a big loss, even the seven strong clans of the grassland can not bear it!" β
Liu Ji immediately touched his chin and said: "The Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate is not those Hu people who come and go, and they can leave, this time the seven strong clans of the grassland jointly attack the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate of our Broken Army, it must not be just like that, and then the Metropolitan Governor is ready to send troops to recover some interest!" β
At this time, Guo Jia said: "My lord, our Beiting Protectorate is adjacent to the territory of the Xianbei tribe and the Donghu tribe respectively, if we want to attack, our Broken Army only has these two options, although the strength of the Donghu Clan is much weaker, but our subordinates think that it is best for our Broken Army to recover some interest from the Xianbei Clan." β
Zhang Liang nodded and said: "My subordinates agree with Mr. Guo Jia's suggestion, with the strength of our Broken Army, it is not difficult to capture the territory of the entire Donghu Tribe, but after capturing the territory of the Donghu Tribe, the Xiongnu will become the neighbors of our Broken Army. β
Liu Ji said: "The Governor of the Metropolitan also feels that he should take the Xianbei tribe to the knife, but after all, the Xianbei tribe is one of the three strong clans of the grassland, even if the loss is not small this time, it also has millions of cavalry troops, if our Broken Army wants to attack the territory of the Xianbei tribe, we must make adequate preparations, by the way, to the five cavalry brigades of the Guards Legion and the five cavalry brigades of the Native Legion in the territory of the Donghu Clan, convey the order of the Governor of the Metropolis, let their ten cavalry brigades return to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate as soon as possible!" β
Di Qing, the commander of the Beiting Army, suggested at this time: "My lord, now that the cavalry of all tribes in the grassland is demoralized, and they have begun to retreat again, it is a good opportunity for our Broken Army to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, it is better to send the cavalry troops of our Broken Capture Army to pursue the cavalry of all tribes in the grassland, and then expand some results!" β
Liu Ji pondered for a moment and then nodded and said, "Then let the cavalry units of the Grassland Legion and the Beiting Legion, as well as the more than 40,000 heavy cavalry who arrived newly yesterday, pursue the retreating cavalry of the various tribes of the grassland!" However, the pursuing cavalry troops must be careful not to fall into the trap of the Hu people! β
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, the grassland alliance must be disbanded this time, and it shouldn't be a pretend retreat." β
From June 28th to June 30th, the Broken Army launched a three-day pursuit of the retreating cavalry of all tribes in the grassland, and finally caused hundreds of thousands of losses to the cavalry of all tribes in the grassland, and Liu Ji also successfully accumulated more than 400,000 points of soul points.
