On the galloping road, the Han army slowly retreated, the Han army flag drooped without spirit, Li Dare took the cavalry to the south with a disgraced face, his soldiers were either wounded or hung colors, and the officers were demoralized and depressed.

"Tian Wei, that dog is really a pustule!" Li Dare spat and cursed viciously.

Cursing the official is disrespectful, and cursing the lieutenant has to be punished, but no officer in the northern army raised any objections, and Tian Wei is indeed very stupid and.

The 200,000 Xiongnu army under the surveillance of the 120,000 Han army attacked Shanwu City, and as a result, more than 3,000 people were killed by a fire on the city.

But I didn't expect that the bad thing was that the advantage was too great, so that Tian Wei had the courage to chase and kill the retreating Hun army, Tian Wei still thought that he was picking up the leaks and taking advantage, he didn't think that the real elite of the Huns was unscathed.

Nominally, the Xiongnu relied on 600,000 people to deter the Han Dynasty, but in fact, the essence of the Huns was only about 100,000 royal tent cavalry, 30,000 royal tent cavalry under the left and right Xianwang accounts, and 60,000 royal tent cavalry in the hands of military ministers, of which 30,000 were royal tent warriors with higher standards.

In the retreating Xiongnu army, there were not only 30,000 cavalry of King Zuoxian, but also 60,000 cavalry of the military minister Shan Yu.

It was supposed to be a good chicken-killing and dog-style massacre, but suddenly the Huns turned their heads and became covered by a rain of arrows with full strength and a very high hit rate, and the lightly armed Han soldiers were caught off guard and ate three rounds of arrow rain. More than 2,000 Han troops were shot on the spot, and that was because the formation of the king's tent cavalry was not deployed. Otherwise, the losses will quadruple.

A large amount of battle damage was like a war hammer to shatter the Han army's self-confidence in pursuit, and the Han army, which was at the forefront and ready to pick up the cheap, slowed down. The Han army that followed has not yet reacted, the front and rear congestion people almost caused a big collapse of the formation, if it were not for the morale of the Huns is too poor, the four gates of Yanmen City were opened at the emergency moment, and the defenders were all out, and the Taishou Bush personally led the army as a backup, but I was afraid that this battle would be beaten a big reversal.

"Pus, a captain who is a fart, is not as capable as Zhao Kuo, this kind of puss part-time job is a shame for the Han army!"

Li Dare is loud voice, and he can hear it clearly when he shouts out hundreds of paces away. Tian Wei's car happened to pass by, and he heard the Han soldiers along the way echoing loudly, Tian Wei's black gritted his teeth like the bottom of a pot, eager to kill these Han army officers cleanly.

But he didn't dare to do that, the Han army had complaints about his command, and when the army attacked, Tian Wei was still sitting in his two-wheeled carriage to command the war. A pustule who doesn't understand military affairs can only drop his bookbag with his mouth, and because of his huge mistake, he almost single-handedly buried the big advantage that the bushman played.

The Huns did not dare to continue the pursuit, but more than 2,000 Han soldiers were shot and killed in one face. Later, there were hundreds of Han soldiers who died of serious injuries one after another, and there were almost no credits for the bushman, and the cunning Tian Wei would definitely take the credit of the bushman to bear his sins. This was something that the officers of the Han army could expect.

Tian Wei's methods are very dirty, he is an unscrupulous villain in order to seize power. Nominally, Cao Shi and Tian Wei were in charge of the Han army, but the actual situation was not so simple. Since the Han army went north in the customs, Tian Wei has never stopped in the army, relying on the identity of the uncle of the Son of Heaven to coax and scare an officer, and most of the soldiers feel that the Taiwei is the third duke, and it should be higher than the sequence of the general of the chariot, so that Cao Shi's real power in the army is not strong, and it is purely the role of playing soy sauce to attend the meeting.

It is precisely because of Tian Wei's exclusion that Cao Shi will take the initiative to ask to stay in the camp, otherwise he will follow Tian Wei to fight, and the credit will not be counted on him, and he may be pushed to himself by Tian Wei if he is at fault, Cao Shi is not optimistic about Tian Wei's command at all, and he neither wants him to take credit nor carry the black pot for him, so he will simply be killed by that despicable person sooner or later.

On the hillside in the distance, Cao Shi put down the binoculars: "Stupid Tian Wei, he thinks he has the strength to pursue the Huns, but he doesn't know that the Huns' royal tent cavalry is unscathed, in exchange for me, I am the general, at most, the formation is slowly advancing northward, so that the broken Hun royal tent cavalry has no chance to show off their might in front of the battle, as long as the Hun army is hung far away to go north, the Huns will never dare to stay in the mouth for too long, drive away the Huns and crucify the mouth for a month, the Huns have to retreat if they are unwilling, and now it's a good ......."

The trouble is very tricky right now.

The Huns seem to feel that the Han army is not so daunting, and they retreat for dozens of miles to collect the army and set up camp again, and rest assured that they are bold and live in their mouths, anyway, as long as they don't eat the cattle, sheep and animals on the grassland, they have written a war book and said that they want to beg for food, and since they have torn their faces, they are determined to rely on it to the end, not only this year, but also next year, just because the Koreans are easy to bully.

"Idiot! He's in trouble now, and we'll see what's going on! ”

Zhou Zuoche's brows twisted: "Then what should we do?" ”

"Go back, let's go back to Mayi and continue to hold the camp, and leave it to him here!"

"Why don't we give it a try?"

"Ninety thousand royal tent cavalry, Yulin cavalry fifteen thousand people sent over is not enough for them to have one person and one arrow, the court can't stand such a big loss, I can't let you die in vain, not to mention that the lot of credit we have done has become a whole field, he is trying to throw the black pot to me, and the credit is all snatched, I will let him get his wish, let him enjoy this merit and bitter fruit personally!"

Tian Wei's pustule was unexpected by the Huns, and the military ministers did not care whether the commander of the Han army was a parallel import, at least the Han army was taken by surprise as soon as the Wang Tent cavalry turned around, not only replenishing the lost morale, but also giving a reassurance to many Huns who remained worried and suspicious.

The Han army is not as terrible as imagined, and only needs to find an opportunity to give a well-known blow, and then you can sit back and enjoy the rich fruits of the Han land.

The military minister is in a good mood. The song and dance of the Huns danced in the tent of the temporary king, although more than 3,000 Hun cavalry died. But the Xiongnu nobles present felt that it was worth it, and they found out that the Han army was a soft persimmon, which was worth dozens of times more than the loss of 3,000 people.

The harsh environment in the steppes determined the maximum population limit of the Xiongnu. Now it is almost the limit population of the Xiongnu, and more than 100,000 people must abandon more old, weak, sick and disabled in winter, similar to this year's cold winter has to make an exception to abandon women and children, but in the culture of the Xiongnu, women and children are very important assets, good fertility and future young and strong labor represent the hope of the tribe.

Therefore, the Xiongnu have actually reached the maximum population that the grassland can accommodate, and the continuous explosion of the population and the lack of more pastures will not be able to feed more people at all, and the loss of 180,000 people is not too terrible. If the Xiongnu had enough food, they could easily reach a population of 20 or 30 million in less than 20 years, just because every young Xiongnu woman had the fertility to have seven or eight children.

The Xiongnu did not mind fighting with the Han people, and the wreaking havoc in the border counties of the Han Dynasty could free up large areas of pasture for the women to take care of carefully, and the saved rations could feed more people in winter. The Xiongnu were a pastoral war system.

Zuo Xianwang laughed loudly and said, "Today's battle is good! We thought it would be easier to fight the good city than to deal with the Han army, but now it seems that we all guessed wrong! ”

"The Han army is too weak, and we are confident that we will defeat the Han army and plunder the city of Mayi."

"How about a big ticket?"

The military minister slapped his arm: "Okay! Then it's a big ticket! Beggars. You shrink the forces of Shanggu County and Yunzhong County to Yanmen, and then send an order for Juli to take the 100,000 army of King Youxian to Longxi County south, we must have a good meal! ”

The Bank of China said in a timely manner: "So do we promise the Han people to pay for the 1 million sheep?" ”

"Lose your ass! Han people are a group of soft eggs. We don't have to give a single sheep. King Zuo Xian smiled contemptuously.

Zhao Shi coldly swept over everyone, secretly mocking the Hun nobles for being bold. He knew better than everyone present about the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army, if it weren't for Tian Wei's stupid command of the army, he would have marched lightly. It happened that after the 90,000 king's tent cavalry was broken, this would never be a setback with no light losses.

The blind optimism of the Xiongnu nobles infected many people, and the big tent gradually turned into a boasting show, boasting to each other about the strength of their own tribes, as if fighting the Han army was as simple as killing chickens.

He didn't guess wrong, the Northern Army was very unconvinced, and Taiwei Tian Wei was under unprecedented pressure, and the worse was still to come.

"The Huns sent another war letter? The Huns demanded that we withdraw from Yanmen County immediately, otherwise it would be the time for the Han army to be destroyed as soon as the royal tent cavalry came out? Outrageous! ”

Tian Wei's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, he was very afraid of the big head soldiers of the Northern Army, and the first time he led the army to attack, he ushered in failure, so that his originally insignificant prestige fell to the bottom, and the officers of the Northern Army who had been co-opted and intimidated before all turned back, and no one would stand in the camp of pus and shout, it can be said that he had no ability to preside over this war.

Tian Wei was very uncomfortable, and when he saw Cao Shi's contemplative appearance, he was angry: "General Che Cai! You are also a commander of the army, and when it is time for you to take responsibility, you must find a way to deal with this failure, otherwise you and I will not think about it. ”

Cao Shi raised his head in surprise: "I'm sorry, didn't I hear it clearly just now, it's no problem for me to guard the rear of Ma Yi and let me be in charge of logistics, I can't afford other responsibilities, and I have to rely on the Tai Lieutenant to pick it up, it is the order of the Tai Lieutenant to go out of the battle, and the pursuit is also an order from the Tai Lieutenant, I didn't say a word with reservations, it is obvious that I don't need to bear the responsibility for the defeat." ”

Tian Wei was furious: "The general of the chariot cavalry is wrong! Although there is a problem with my command, but as a lieutenant general, you did not mention the mistakes of the main general in time, shouldn't you bear the responsibility for the defeat? ”

"The war you commanded yourself failed, but blame others for not reminding you that the Huns are so powerful that you can't rush in, and you have a bad stomach and pull a crotch of your pants, do you also blame the doctor for not reminding you to eat less cold food to maintain your stomach? It was my fault to defeat the battle, the fault of all the officers of the Northern Army, the fault of the soldiers of the Northern Army, but not the fault of Tian Wei, the chief general of the wise and martial arts. ”

Cao Shi unceremoniously exposed his face, he chirped crookedly and asked so much because he wanted to rely on others, and if he changed to a general, he might put the responsibility on his head, but he was such a good bully, and self-cultivation in the past few years does not mean that he has forgotten the means of defeating the three princes and nine kings, but he just doesn't want to show his edge again.

Tian Wei was stunned when he was scolded, and suddenly remembered that Cao Shi's personality was extremely hard, and he had suffered several losses in the past few years.

The two sides parted unhappily, and Tian Wei felt that the camp could not squat, so he simply took his personal guard entourage south to Taiyuan County overnight, where the Son of Heaven personally sat in the temporary camp.

"Your Majesty! The general of the chariot cavalry is extremely arrogant, and he doesn't even pay attention to the ministers, which is really hateful! Tian Wei knelt on the ground and cried.

Liu Che was very angry, he hated this uncle for relying on people at every turn, in recent years, the wrong things have basically been carried by subordinate officials, so that the subordinate officials and subordinate officials under him complained, the brothers of the Zhongtian family in the court had a very bad reputation, greedy, arrogant, short-sighted, only willing to take advantage of the situation and unwilling to take responsibility, all kinds of negative comments were overwhelming, almost like the children of the Dou family back then.

But the emperor still had to take care of his uncle's face, and said a little perfunctorily: "I saw that defeat, the captain's command mistakes are undeniable, but it can't be said that everyone didn't make mistakes, at least the supervision and reporting in the book are not very timely, the contradiction between the general and the captain should not affect the military deployment, knowing that the captain does not know the soldiers and still allows the captain to take charge of the army, the general is at fault." ”

Tian Wei was dumbfounded: "Huh? Ministers know soldiers! The minister didn't know how to be a lieutenant. ”

"The captain should be modest, it's not a mistake to not know the soldiers, I don't know the soldiers, but I'm working hard to learn, the captain should study seriously, at least don't let the Han army's sons die in vain, this time I won't punish you for underestimating the enemy's rash advance, return to Chang'an to supervise the transportation of grain and grass." Liu Che sent Tian Wei back to Chang'an City in a few words, and squeezed the captain out of the leading sequence with one move.

Tian Wei fled back with a disgraced face, this time he planted a big heel, it is foreseeable that the adverse consequences of this failure will be huge, from now on Tian Wei is not qualified to discuss important military and political affairs, not to mention the good thing of personally leading the troops next time, he is destined to be a puppet.

Liu Che brought 100,000 southern troops from Chang'an City, and he also noticed that the strength of the northern army was slightly insufficient, and this time only less than 100,000 troops were left in Chang'an City to defend it, and almost 80% of the Gyeonggi soldiers of the imperial court were put into Yanmen County, and the edict issued by the Son of Heaven to Yanmen County the next day was quickly sent to Mayi.

"The Son of Heaven has asked me to take full responsibility for the 300,000 army, and to expel the invading Xiongnu army as soon as possible, and to deal a severe blow if necessary." Cao Shi frowned.
