Section 1369 Bloody Retreat (1)

Having established its position, Juli Lake immediately issued an order to prepare to retreat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And it's an immediate retreat!

On this issue, all the tribes have already made preparations - many of them have even been preparing to retreat more than ten days ago.

Since the Han Dynasty can't defeat the raid here, what are they doing here? Chinese New Year?

Especially for those Makukubu clans, even more so!

Since ancient times, the Huns have been like a collection of birds when they win, and they disintegrate when they are defeated.

Stupidly consumed under the Great Wall like this, as early as the period of Lao Shangdanyu, they had had enough.

It's just that the previous military ministers refused to withdraw their troops.

He was like a gambler who lost red-eyed, dragging the entire Xiongnu to gamble with the Han Dynasty on the fortunes of the country.

Outcome......

He lost the bet.

So dead.

As soon as the military minister died, this withdrawal of troops was naturally a matter of course.

Countless tribes immediately began to prepare for the withdrawal of troops in a chaotic manner.

How messy are they?

Even the thin world in the Yuyang Plug knows it!

At this moment, Bo Shi is in the rain and fog, holding a clairvoyant mirror, looking at the distant fishing riverbank.

Due to the heavy rain, he could not see much.

However, a shadow can also be seen.

I saw that the entire fishing water was now crowded into a huge dense wall of men and horses by the various tribes of the Xiongnu who were in a hurry to retreat.

Although it is not clear how many Huns there are now, it is ......

Bo Shi already knows that his exploits want to run?

"This idiot ...... the military minister" put down the clairvoyant mirror, Bo Shi shook his head and sighed: "Does he think it is too difficult for us to capture?" ”

In Bo Shi's eyes, the Huns retreated like this, which was tantamount to giving people their heads!

It is not difficult to guess the actions of the Huns, who must now have planned to cross the fishing waters, cross the Yan Mountains, and return to the steppe.

But here's the problem......

Withdrawal has always been extremely difficult.

Especially when there is an enemy on the side, where is such a simple thing?

You must know that the number of soldiers and horses that the Xiongnu want to retreat is not 12,000, nor 12,000.

It was a huge cluster of at least 60,000 cavalry, 100,000 horses, and 230,000 livestock.

If such an army wants to retreat safely, even if there is no threat from the Han army on the side, if it does not plan and organize well, it will definitely become a disaster!

In particular, now the Huns also need to cross the fishing waters.

Since ancient times, the number of armies that have crossed the river and died is not clear!

Not to mention that the Huns didn't even have boats!

"Governor! Please lead the bridger general to lead the light cavalry into battle, and chase and kill ......" Immediately several captains asked for battle.

In the eyes of these captains, the Huns were now like lambs to the slaughter.

Bo Shi smiled and waved his hand, "Wait...... Now to fight the Huns, it is likely that they will have to fight against the water, even if they can win, our army will lose a lot, and when the Huns are a little more chaotic, when the time comes, our army may be able to achieve the greatest results without much effort! ”

Bo Shi knew very well that since ancient times, once any army has lost its organization and order, it will be difficult to recover.

Moreover, the chaos of this army must only be worse, and not the other way around.

Besides, there is a cloud in the art of war: don't hide it when you return to the teacher!

An army that is in a hurry to get home, and if anyone tries to prevent them from going home, they will be desperate.

Rather than that, it's better to wait.

When the Huns were in chaos, the results of the battle would be at their fingertips.

"But ......" an officer said a little unwillingly: "If the Xiongnu and their nobles escape, how can it be good?" ”

"Run, run!" Unlike these officers, Bo Shi didn't care about the Xiongnu Shan Yu or the royal family running away at all.

He straightened his chest, looked in the direction of Chang'an, and said, "Compared to the Xiongnu Shan Yu, the Son of Heaven would be more willing to see the Huns bleeding here!" ”

Bo Shi knew that if he died, he could stand again.

But these Huns are going to die, and the future of the Huns will inevitably be bleak.

You must know that this battle has been fought so far, counting the results of the battle in the Zaoyang area, the Han army has annihilated nearly 50,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu in two months.

Especially not long ago, its trump card Xu Jun army was also wiped out.

These 50,000 riders, almost all of them are young and strong!

In other words, in two months, the Han army left at least 50,000 Xiongnu vaults without men!

And now, from Yuyang to Yuxi, hundreds of miles of battlefield, there are at least 60,000 cavalry trying to flee north.

If you kill these people again, even if it's only half.

The Huns will lose more than 80,000 young men!

And these people are basically young and strong in the headquarters of the Huns, at least they are also young and strong in the headquarters of the Huns.

The Xiongnu, who had killed so many young people, were about to face the embarrassment of Zhao after the Battle of Changping.

Without young men, there is no hope for the future of the Huns.

In other words, in this battle, it doesn't matter whether they kill the Xiongnu Shan Yu and the nobles - they have been scared anyway, and they are just a group of lost dogs with their tails between their legs.

Instead, it was the young men, the young Hun cavalry.

Whether it's to kill them on the battlefield or to capture them.

For every one more, the Huns will be weak!

"Bring wine to ......" Bo Shi said with a smile: "Today, we will send the Hun hegemony to the end!" ”

When the generals heard this, they all laughed.

Indeed, after this war, the hegemony of the Xiongnu collapsed.

From today onwards, the Xiongnu Empire, the haze that once shrouded China for more than 60 years, no longer exists.

Now it's the turn of the Han soldiers to become the nightmare of the eternal life of the Huns!

Kou can go! I can go too!

The military and civilians of the Han family are full of confidence, and everyone is already looking forward to the dream of developing Hexi and operating the Western Regions in the future!

……………………………………

It is different from the exhilarations of the Han army.

Shan Yu, who has just ascended to the position of Juli Lake, has not had time to enjoy the scenery of his own single position.

He already had to face the biggest crisis since he took the throne.

After the order to withdraw his troops was issued, the entire Xiongnu, up and down, dozens of tribes, everyone rushed to retreat north.

These tribes simply did not take his orders seriously.

And no one birds him.

Everyone just wants to go home, return to the grassland, and escape from the Han Dynasty.

If it were in the open grassland, they would have done so.

But the problem is that they are now under the fortified city of the Han Dynasty.

The road ahead was blocked, and they had to follow the old trail to cross the fishing water and cross the Yan Mountain.

So, they were tragic.

Countless people and horses blocked the riverbank.

The people in front can't go, and the people behind can't go up.

People and horses crowded together, pushing and pushing.

There have been clashes in many places.

There were even tribes fighting for a place to cross the river.

This made Juli Lake at a loss, and it also made him anxious.

"Da Danyu, you cross the river first......" Hu Yan Dangtu braved the heavy rain, walked in front of Juli Lake, and said: "The things here will be left to the slaves to do......"

"How?" Ju Lihu asked coldly: "General Zuo has a way?" ”

Hu Yandang Tu shook his head when he heard this.

Don't say it's him, I'm afraid that even if Mao Dun Da Dan Yu is resurrected, and the old man Da Dan Yu crawls out of the grave, he will definitely be helpless in the face of such a situation.

Now, the organization and order of the tribes have been completely paralyzed.

The leaders of many tribes could not even tell which one was their own slave and which one was someone from another tribe.

Ju Lihu knew that if he didn't handle it well, he would probably be overturned immediately.

Thinking of this, Ju Lihu gritted his teeth and said viciously: "General Zuo, you immediately take Ben Danyu's personal guards to each bullet pressure and maintain order, who dares to disobey the order - kill him!" ”

"Yes!" Hu Yan Dangtu nodded hurriedly, this is indeed the only way now, and it is probably the most effective way!

The people of the bow have always been a difficult group to command and command, because they are free and loose by nature.

The only thing that can make them obey is blood and killing.

The Huns were also accustomed to being deterred by leather whips and butcher knives.

But the question is - how much deterrence can Shan Yu have now?

Looking at Huyan Dangtu's distant back, Ju Lihu gave another order and said: "Pass my order to all the nobles and leaders - immediately abandon all baggage, livestock and wounded, old and weak!" Tell the heads of the department that if you don't want to die, do what this list says! ”

"Yes!" Several nobles took the order.

Juli Lake fell into a deeper silence.

The chaos of this retreat made him understand more deeply that the Xiongnu must reform, and the urgency of reform has reached the point where it will perish immediately if it is not changed!

"More than 200 years ago, Qin Xiaogong of the Han Dynasty changed the law and was ......able to succeed with the assistance of Shang Jun," Ju Lihu sighed: "Where is the Shang Jun of Ben Danyu?" ”

……………………………………………………

When Hu Yan Dangtu took Shan Yuting's cavalry, brandished a butcher's knife, and killed more than a hundred people who did not obey orders, the order on the river bank was slightly better.

But it's only slightly better.

Under the shock of butcher's knives and blood, although the Xiongnu tribes began to listen to orders, the effect was just like that.

The reason for this is that these retreating tribes brought more than just slaves, herders, and livestock.

Some of them even brought the dome, pots and bowls, and grain and grass.

This is the real culprit of the current congestion on the banks of the fishing water.

After all, for most tribes, any property is precious.

Especially now, when the southern invasion did not grab anything, but suffered heavy losses, they now regard everything as their fate.

Especially the cavalry and petty nobles below.

Everyone knows that if these materials are discarded now, then the only thing that awaits him and his family is to starve and freeze to death in the cold winter.

Therefore, when the order of the plough lake reached the tribes, it immediately exploded.

"What is this going to do?" Many people were furious and shouted: "How can we live without the dome and pots and bowls?" ”

Especially those of the small tribes, their necks are red.

These Xiongnu Empire's bitter haha, in this southern invasion is the worst loss.

In the early siege warfare, they were coolies digging ditches and building military forts, and cannon fodder to fill the moats of the Han Dynasty.

There are already heavy losses, and there are no three out of ten.

Now, they are being told to abandon their livestock and domes on which they depend.

This is tantamount to letting them freeze to death and starve to death when they go back.

Even those big tribes can't stand it now.

"If you really want to do this?" A nobleman threatened: "Who are we waiting for the birth and death of the Great Huns?" ”

There are even people who draw knives directly, and they have a posture of fighting with others.

Seeing this, the envoys of Juli Lake did not dare to intensify the contradictions, and came back one after another to report.

Juli Lake had no choice, he looked at the Han Dynasty Yuyangsai in the distance blurred in the rain and mist, he knew that there was not much time left for himself.

He could only grit his teeth and said, "Go and tell the ministries that as long as they return to the grassland, Ben Shan Yu will definitely compensate for all their losses!" ”

He raised his head, revealing a vicious face, and said: "This is to allow all the troops to go to the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions to vent as much as they want, but they will not seal the sword for three days!" ”

The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions were originally the long-term meal tickets and blood bags of the Xiongnu.

In the past few decades, even if the Huns were bleeding at the foot of the Great Wall, they could turn around and find these 36 countries to suck blood and make up for their losses.

Because of this, the Huns will leave these thirty-six kingdoms.

Not because the Huns had a good temper, but because these thirty-six countries were the banks of the Huns.

It's a hen that lays golden eggs.

Therefore, although the Huns were exploited in the Western Regions, they did not run rampant and kill indiscriminately.

On the contrary, in the past, the Xiongnu even provided a solid protective umbrella for the countries of the Western Regions.

Although the tribes of Qitian Wanqi and Jinshan stationed in the countries of the Western Regions occasionally oppressed and plundered, in general, their presence protected these weak Western Regions kingdoms from the invasion of the Cypriots and Kangju from the west.

Historically, it was precisely because of the Han-Hungarian War that the power of the Xiongnu declined, so the Western Cypriots and Kangju were able to cross the Jinshan and Green Mountains and invade the countries of the Western Regions, and Buddhism and Zoroastrianism were also introduced to the countries of the Western Regions under this background.

Now, Juli Lake can't take care of the hen of the little golden egg in the countries of the Western Regions.

After all, the Xiongnu now suffered serious blood loss, and it can no longer be recovered by just sucking blood.

It is necessary to kill chickens and sheep and eat a pot of perfect tonic soup in order to maintain life, maintain morale, and unite people's hearts.

Therefore, Juli Lake doesn't care so much.

First ate the meat and bones of the Western Regions countries to save the lives of the Xiongnu.

Anyway, the Xiongnu now also have Great Xia and Kangju and even more distant body poisons to suck blood.

And the order of the plough lake immediately had an immediate effect.

When the tribes received this answer, although they still had doubts, they all obeyed the order, and abandoned the jars and jars, the unnecessary vaults, the wounded, and the old and weak.

This made the crossing of the river by the Xiongnu tribes begin to go smoothly.

But, that is, it is a little more efficient.

Tens of thousands of cavalry, still crowded along the narrow banks, crossed the river on rudimentary sheepskin rafts or wooden rafts.

When the rain began to stop a little, the Huns were able to send thousands of people to the other side.

At this time, the vanguard of the Han cavalry had already appeared in their sight. (To be continued.) )
