After the Huns retreated, Su Jiao did not let his subordinates have certain casualties, and the knight troops with relatively large physical consumption pursued them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Perhaps, it would be a good idea to let the crossbow chariot troops pursue for a distance, increasing the damage to the Huns. But even in the end, Su Jiao did not give such an order.

Because Su Jiao knew very well in his heart that although the Huns retreated because of some factors outside the battlefield, but more, because of this, Su Jiao also understood that the vitality of the Huns was still far above the troops that could be pursued under his command, and if he pursued rashly, he might put the pursuing troops in danger.

It's just that Su Jiao, who thought that there would be a large-scale fierce battle tomorrow, didn't expect that the Xiongnu Zuoxian King would actually order to leave the original camp overnight and move to the west.

By the time the two commanders, Su Jiao and Zabekh, found out about the situation, it was too late to pursue.

After discovering this situation, Zabeh did not think about leading the remaining troops to hunt down the Huns, but neither Angel nor other Donghu tribal leaders agreed with Zabekh's idea. What's more, Su Jiao, as the commander of the friendly forces, did not have a chance of continuing to pursue the Huns under this circumstance.

After all, with the mobility of the knights and crossbow chariot troops, it was not very difficult to catch up with the large army of the Huns. The fundamental reason for Su Jiao to give up this plan was because if he only relied on knights and crossbow chariot troops to pursue the Huns, it was difficult to guarantee whether the Huns would take the opportunity to use relatively superior forces, and encirclement and annihilation could be regarded as an adventurous force.

If such a thing really happens, it can be said that there will not be too many people in the mobile force under Su Jiao's command who want to survive.

And because of yesterday's fierce battle, the overall physical consumption of the Qin army and the loss of corresponding materials are also quite serious.

It is true that even if a large-scale melee similar to yesterday broke out again, the corresponding combat materials of the officers and soldiers under Su Jiao's command would still be able to maintain their needs, but Su Jiao knew it very well. In the case that the infantry units are unable to follow, it is difficult to maintain the needs of the two troops, especially the number of arrows to carry, which will also affect the results of the pursuit.

After all, even if the crossbow chariot can carry a few arrows, but for most knights, the specifications of the arrows and crossbows in their hands are very different from the strong crossbows and crossbows equipped by the officers and soldiers of the crossbow chariot troops.

The situation with the archers was somewhat better. However, in the case that the crossbows of the two sides cannot be used, the long-range combat effectiveness that the Qin army's assault soldiers can exert is relatively much weaker.

It was already out of disadvantage. And if this factor is added, if Su Jiao gives the order to pursue, it is undoubtedly his brain that is caught by the door.

Zabehe knew that Su Jiao did not have the idea of sending troops to pursue, and he himself knew one thing, that is, just with the power in his hands, he wanted to pursue the Huns, but he did not have such ability.

So in the end, Zabeh also gave up the idea of pursuing the Huns, and instead joined forces with the Qin officers and soldiers under Su Jiao. After being stationed in this area for a period of time and officially confirming that the Xiongnu had indeed retreated, they joined forces with Su Jiao and returned to the control area located in the middle and upper reaches of the Liao River.

Dividing line

After Su Jiao led his army to the core of the last area controlled by the Donghu people, he found that he had arrived in this area two days earlier with another infantry unit, mainly composed of Shangjun soldiers. Cooperate with the Donghu people in defense work.

After all, even if it was in the middle of the road, it was not known whether the Huns would risk crossing the mountains from the west of this area and launching a fierce offensive against Donghu.

If this problem is really discovered, Su Jiao will be able to rely on these rudimentary defense systems to bring more trouble to the Huns' raiding troops.

But Su Jiao's previous worries did not come true. Because before Su Jiao and Zabekh respectively led their troops to this area, the Huns had no plans in this regard.

According to the plan of the Huns, that is, the original plan of the Huns Zuo Xianwang, he only needed to go north along the Liao River to easily wipe out the Donghu people, without the need to travel long distances in the mountains to the west of the last area controlled by the Donghu people. Sneak attack on the last area of control of the Donghu people at the risk of some undeserved losses.

Moreover, once the last area controlled by the Donghu people was occupied, then the Xiongnu only needed to consolidate the defense of the plain area and carry out corresponding construction, so that the Xiongnu could effectively guarantee the rule of the Xiongnu in this area.

I have to say that the abacus of the Huns Zuo Xianwang is indeed playing well. But what he did not expect was that the remaining fighting forces of the Donghu people, or rather Zabekh, would dare to move south along the Liao River to resist their offensive under such a situation.

And the emergence of this situation is not a miscalculation of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, on the contrary, once the Xiongnu Zuoxian King wins the battle in this regard, then it is undoubtedly the biggest crisis of destruction for the Donghu people.

Perhaps, the Donghu people who fled to the mountains and forests can survive, but as a nomadic people, after losing the control base of a large grassland, then for these Donghu people, the continued slow demise may be an inevitable result.

And the real misestimation of King Zuo Xian of the Huns was that he did not expect that the Qin people would actually fight with their "allies" for their enemies.

According to the thoughts of the Huns Zuo Xianwang, the Qin people will not take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, because the current situation of the Great Qin Empire is quite weak, if a full-scale war breaks out at this time, although it is the outcome of the victory, there will not be a good speculation, but there is no doubt that the Great Qin Empire will not recover a certain strength, if it wants to win, the price paid will also be greater.

This also made the Huns' Zuo Xian King firmly believe that the Great Qin Empire would not send troops to support the Donghu people, at most, it would continue to provide corresponding materials for the Donghu people, increase the strength of the Donghu people, and resist the Xiongnu's offensive against Donghu.

Zhang Jiashi's assistance to the Donghu people is no secret among many high-level Huns, and there are also many high-level Huns who hope that Mao Dun will lead them to teach the treacherous Great Qin Empire a lesson because of such a situation.

Of course, to say treachery. This also wronged Zhang Jiashi, because the agreement signed between the Great Qin Empire and the Xiongnu was related to the corresponding provisions of the Great Qin Empire, and there was no prohibition on supporting the Donghu people.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi's "treachery" in this regard is really out of nowhere.

But there is no doubt that this kind of assistance to the Donghu people is indeed not something that an ally needs to do.

Because as an "ally". Even if you don't carve up Donghu with the Huns, then you can't let the Huns be affected by the intervention of the Great Qin Empire in this regard. Lose a lot of things.

So even if the Huns "slandered" Zhang Jiashi, many high-level Huns didn't care about these details.

Moreover, as this kind of treaty agreement between the Great Qin Empire and the Xiongnu was obviously unreliable, even the Xiongnu themselves did not take it to heart.

However, Mao Dun did not intend to engage in a full-scale war with the Great Qin Empire at this time. Of course, in this regard, it is very likely that the Great Qin Empire was not prepared accordingly, and it became a battle plan from which the Xiongnu would get a lot of benefits. It's just that the Huns are also not ready for it at the moment.

In Mao Dun's heart, he clearly understood one thing, that is, the Great Qin Empire was not an enemy that could be easily dealt with before the Xiongnu, although the Great Qin Empire experienced civil strife. The strength has declined sharply, but there is no doubt that rashly launching a big war is also a severe test for the Huns.

Under such a premise, Mao Dun was not willing to decide whether to launch a large-scale offensive against the Great Qin Empire in such a short period of time. Because this is likely to bring a lose-lose situation to both sides, and the Huns will even lose more than they gain to a large extent.

Therefore, Mao Dun has never agreed to this idea of the senior civil and military personnel under his command. There are many considerations.

Of course, Mao Dun also didn't expect that Zhang Jiashi would be this guy who doesn't play cards according to the rules.

If Mao Dun had made up his mind to launch an offensive against the Great Qin Empire before this, then Zhang Jiashi would probably expose some hole cards in advance, and these hole cards would also have a very far-reaching impact on both sides. Zhang Jiashi is very clear. If it is really because of the necessity to use these hole cards, then it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the entire Great Qin Empire.

Perhaps, this can also be regarded as some of the choices that history has made for some people.

Dividing line

After the corresponding loss statistics, the losses of the reinforcements under Su Jiao's command can be regarded as quite heavy. Among the knight troops that attacked alone, there were more than 6,000 casualties, which made Su Jiao's heart drip blood. If you count the battle losses of other troops. Of the nearly 70,000 people who came out to reinforce Donghu this time, the casualties reached about 20,000. Such a loss can be said to be difficult for a county guard to accept.

And what the losses of the Huns are now, it is impossible to make detailed statistics. However, according to the comparison of the corresponding information provided by the Donghu people, the losses of the Huns in this battle should be no less than 40,000 people, or even more.

But what kind of data it is, it is no longer something that the Donghu people and the Great Qin Empire can know.

The losses of the Donghu people were also very heavy, and after a day of fierce fighting, the remaining 40,000 people of the Donghu people themselves were less than 18,000 people.

If the budget is based on the minimum loss of 40,000 people of the Xiongnu, the losses of the alliance between the Great Qin Empire and the Donghu people even reached one to one with the Huns.

This loss comparison can be said to be a pyrrhic victory. Because the Donghu people could no longer launch an effective counterattack against the Huns in a short time.

Of course, Su Jiao didn't think this situation was a bad thing, because in this operation, a large number of recruit troops were tempered by the war and became a qualified soldier.

As for the heavy casualties of the officers and soldiers under their command, although Su Jiao and Yuma were very helpless in this regard, there was no doubt that even if the price was heavy, they also guaranteed the continued existence of the Donghu people.

Therefore, the payment of this kind of price is certainly not proportional to the benefits that have no practical significance at the moment, but in a sense, the Great Qin Empire seized the corresponding initiative for the later Qin-Hun all-out war.

What Su Jiao and Yuma didn't expect was that the impact of this battle would be very far-reaching.

When Angel returned to his tribe, he found that in the camp for the wounded of the Qin army placed near their tribe, there was a person he remembered very vividly who was scattered outside the fence.

He didn't know if this man was the uncle he remembered, but Ingres finally decided to go.

Song Qi didn't expect to meet his old acquaintance in this place

In the years that followed, Song Qi became the commander of a garrison of the Great Qin Empire in the Donghu region.

This appointment was personally issued by Zhang Jiashi after receiving the report from Su Jiao and Yu Jian.

After receiving this edict of appointment, Song Qi became the captain of the Liaohe Garrison, the predecessor of the Beiyuan Metropolitan Protectorate, and commanded 1,500 people to assist the Donghu people in exchanges and cooperation in military operations between the two sides.

In the first Qin-Hun all-out war, Song Qi did not lead more than 1,500 people under his command to participate in the battle against the Huns. On the contrary, with more than 1,500 officers and soldiers stationed there, Ingres was able to draw more riders to join the corresponding battles.

And after the end of the First Qin-Hungarian All-Out War, Song Qi, who was nearly forty years old, married the little girl from Donghu he knew back then, that is, Angel's sister.

After knowing this situation, Zhang Jiashi not only ordered to compensate Song Qi for the corresponding congratulatory gift, but also decided to promote Song Qi to the rank of lieutenant of the garrison in Donghu.

However, due to some considerations, Zhang Jiashi also ordered Song Qi to relocate the garrison to a plain area near the Liao River to the south. Because the strength of 1,500 people is not too much, but it is undeniable that because the original garrison is too close to the core area controlled by the Donghu people, once there is a crisis for some reason, it will inevitably be a very dangerous thing for the officers and men of the garrison.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi decided to go to this area controlled by Donghu at the exit of the Great Wall of the Great Qin Empire, and weighed the compromise to build a new garrison in a suitable area.

This new garrison was cancelled in 136 BC, and the then garrison commander Anwu was promoted to the capital of the Northern Plains, commanding an army of 15,000 to build the Northern Plains Metropolitan Protectorate on the site of the original garrison. To be continued.
