Chapter 216: Reluctantly retreated
When the defeated Huns saw the billowing smoke, they rushed back like crazy, but they were greeted by a burning base camp, and everything in it had been reduced to ashes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Those generals are all like ashes, the Great Khan personally led the troops out today, and specially explained that they should guard the base camp well, so that nothing goes wrong, now it is good, everything has been reduced to ashes, so that they have no room for explanation.
"It's miserable this time, the sweat is back, we estimate that we can't save our heads, what should we do?"
A slightly younger general turned pale and his voice trembled slightly, looking at the slightly older generals with a look of trepidation, hoping that they could find a way to save it.
"What else can I do, go and fight hard, go and catch the arsonists back to the Great Khan, or just kill them and bring them back."
The slightly older general roared loudly, and now he can't be calm, this is a matter of killing heads, and such a big thing, even if the Great Khan wants to take care of the situation, it is estimated that it will be difficult, they don't want to make it difficult for Brown Hun to do, so they can only choose to make up for the mistakes and arrest the group of people who set the arson.
Leaving a team of men and horses to garrison here, waiting for the Brown Hun to send people back, the rest of the cavalry, all followed their general in the direction of Anseong, they thought that this time the western army did it, they would definitely flee to their base camp after committing the crime, so there was nothing wrong with chasing to the west.
Brown Hun was anxious, but before he could reach his base camp, he had already seen those black clouds hoarded in the sky in the distance, they were not black clouds that only had to rain, those were all smoke left after arson.
In that direction, it is their base camp, and now fools know that there must be something wrong with the base camp, there is a Hun people's grain, grass and ordnance there, if they are all burned, then they will be really dangerous.
With a dark face, he whipped the horses under his seat with a horsewhip without saying a word, and ran in the direction of his own camp, and his own soldiers could feel the anger of his great sweat.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on!"
When he returned to the camp, he saw that only a piece of ash and a mess were left here, and there were those dejected Hun soldiers.
The whole scene was quiet, no one dared to speak, and everyone didn't even dare to come out, they were afraid that the Great Khan would cut off their heads if they were unhappy.
Brown roared in the sky, he felt that his eyes were dizzy, and his whole body was about to collapse, but fortunately, now he stood next to his war horse, and easily held his war horse, so that his body did not fall.
Now it feels like the sky has fallen, and the whole person is weak and weak. His southern expedition this time was originally a gamble, if he won the bet, he won the whole world, and if he lost, he would become a sinner and bury the entire Huns.
Originally, the peoples on the grassland only believed in the strong, if the Huns failed in this war, then the other peoples on the grassland would not submit to the rule of the Huns, and then rise up to resist, and finally lead to the decline of the Huns, until they perished!
Although most of their main force is still there, all their food, grass, ordnance and military materials have been burned by the Western Army. Even, the soldiers, who had been fighting fiercely for a morning, could not even afford to eat lunch.
As the lord of a country, but also a general, he knows the importance of grain, grass and ordnance for an army, without these things, the army basically has no way to continue fighting, which is why many armies because of the lack of food and grass resulting in soldier riots, mutiny, these things happen, there is no food, but also to ask them to fight and die, what is this!
"You, come out, tell me the ins and outs of today's events, and be honest, don't hide or exaggerate, otherwise you will directly split the body!"
Brown Hun pointed to the leader of the group of soldiers who had been left behind and said that he was going to straighten out everything that had happened and then decide what to do next.
The leader stood up tremblingly, then fell to the ground, and in a trembling voice told Brown Hun everything he knew, and begged for mercy after speaking.
"Get up, you can't be blamed for these things, it's not something you can control, if you want to blame, blame these Jin people for being too cunning, let's not be able to guard against it!"
After listening to the leader's description, Brown Hun could probably guess what was going on, it turned out that he had already been calculated by them, no matter how he went, he would not take advantage, unless he kept spending time with them, and if he didn't fight them, he wouldn't suffer.
However, Brown Hun was also surprised by the bravery of the Western Army and their strong combat effectiveness, although he knew that the Western Army's combat effectiveness was good, even a little higher than the Hun cavalry, but now it seems that he was wrong, today more than 20,000 Western Army soldiers, almost wiped out all the 30,000 Hun cavalry, they have the strength to destroy.
Although the 30,000 cavalry was not his main force, they were eaten by the Western Army so easily, and the death ratio was three to one, indicating that the combat effectiveness of the Western Army was at least twice as high as theirs.
This is a very terrifying ratio, but only in this way can it be explained why the Western Army can achieve such results today.
"Send someone to call the pursuing army back, everyone gathers, prepare to retreat, wait for this period to ease, and then we will fight back."
Brown Hun sighed, reluctantly issued the order to retreat, although extremely reluctant, but there is no way, now they have no food and grass, it is impossible to continue to fight, they must withdraw to the back, while negotiating with the northern side, asking them to give themselves a little support immediately, but also need to send troops to sweep the people of the Great Jin, and grab all their food to supplement the army.
The cavalry team that had gone to pursue Yunye before came back dejectedly, and as expected, they did not catch up with any of the Western army troops, but Brown Hun did not punish them, but comforted them and told them not to have a psychological burden.
In fact, daring to punish the soldiers at this time can easily cause the soldiers to become centrifuged, and it will be very dangerous at that time, and if you are magnanimous, you will be supported by the soldiers, and even in the most difficult times, they will never abandon themselves.
"Withdraw, everyone rest assured, it won't be long before we will come back to take revenge and regain our lost honor!"
Brown Hun looked at the army that had been assembled, and gave the order to retreat, but he would definitely come back to take revenge, this retreat was just to replenish the grain and grass ordnance, and in time, he would definitely let the Western Army taste the power of their steppe cavalry.
