Chapter 311: Keeping the Bloodline
In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed, and the entire battlefield had already been covered with rivers of blood and corpses.
With the last slave falling from their horses, the Hun cavalry eventually won the victory.
But Akagi Han's face was very ugly, not only because his elite division was dragged by a group of slaves for three hours, but also because of the suicide style of these slaves caused unimaginable casualties to his elite division.
At this time, there were only more than 8,000 Hun cavalry still on horseback, and most of them were wounded.
Chimu Ahan has been crisscrossing the field for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has suffered such a big loss!
You know, the other party is a slave who can't even eat!
Looking back at his soldiers, the morale of his soldiers has fallen to the extreme because of the casualties.
In this state, if you want to save people, it's a fool's dream!
"Could it be that the heavens are going to kill my Huns?" Akagi Ahan raised his head and looked at the sky, his face full of pain.
Until this moment, Chimu Ahan still thought that it was the people of the Western Regions who captured Changsun Yan.
Although he and Changsun Yan have not been married for a long time, they have grown up with Changsun Yan since childhood.
After twenty years of getting along, it would be false to say that he and Changsun Yan have no feelings.
Thinking that Changsun Yan would fall into the hands of the people of the Western Regions, I was afraid that she would be tortured by many inhuman people, and Akagi Han's heart hurt.
Quietly wiping away his tears, Akagi Ahan quickly gathered the remaining cavalry and continued to rush towards the Chimu River.
When Akagi Ahan arrived at the Chimu River, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that more than a dozen tribes that were originally stationed next to the Chimu River had been burned to ashes by the fire at this time.
The entire land of dozens of kilometers on the banks of the Chimu River is completely pitch black.
The surviving Huns were all looking for something else in the ruins, and everyone's face was filled with despair.
"King Akagi Han! It's King Akagi Ahan who is back! ”
I don't know who shouted, and the people around him suddenly looked at Akagi Han.
Chimu Ahan is a rare hero on the grassland in the past ten years, he not only united the various tribes of the grassland, but also made the Huns all full.
So no matter what happened, as long as Akagi Ahan was still there, there was still hope for the Huns.
But when they saw the embarrassed look of the remnants of the defeated army behind Akagi Han, everyone was stunned, and their faces were full of disbelief.
Why did King Akagi Ahan and his invincible cavalry become like this?
Could it be that King Chigi Ahan lost the battle?
Akagi Han's face was also very ugly at this time, and if such a thing happened, it was very likely that the people on the grassland would lose confidence in him, and his prestige on the grassland would be greatly reduced.
"Your Majesty, our home is gone...... "At this moment, one of the generals cried.
Chimu Ahan turned his head, patted the general's shoulder, and said: "Manly man, what is there to cry about, we are Huns, wherever we go, there is home!" ”
Hearing this, hope was once again ignited in the hearts of many soldiers.
Yes, the Huns are nomads who live everywhere, even if the tribe is gone, as long as the people are still there, everything will be fine.
After letting the cavalry team rest in place, Akagi Ahan ran towards his tribe.
At this time, there were only a few people left in the originally prosperous tribe, and they all burst into tears when they saw Akagi Han.
Akagi Han thought that they asked about the cavalry that attacked the tribe, and all of them answered exactly the same, that the cavalry was indeed wearing the clothes of the Western Regions.
This made Akagi Ahan even more convinced that the people who attacked the tribe were from the Western Regions.
After a while, Parma also fled back with the people, and came to see Akagi Ahan as soon as possible.
"King, I'm sorry for you!" Immediately Parma knelt in front of Akagi Ahan and burst into tears.
"Uncle doesn't have to be polite, aren't you stationed in the big camp outside the Sword Gate Pass? How did you get back? Akagi Ahan suddenly frowned, and a bad premonition rose from his heart.
Barma didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly reported the battle situation outside the Sword Gate to Akagi Ahan.
"The last general will make a wrong move, lose all the games, and bear the king's trust, please punish the king!"
In an instant, Akagi Han's face became gloomy: "You mean, you left fifty or sixty thousand brothers behind and escaped by yourself?" ”
Barma blushed for a moment, but nodded anyway.
"Rubbish!" Akagi Ahan slapped Parma in the face, and immediately knocked off both of Parma's teeth.
"You abandoned your brothers, you can't be called a warrior of the Huns at all, what face do you have to come back?"
Akagi Han did not blame Parma for losing the battle, but was angry that Parma actually abandoned 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers at the last moment and ran back alone with the cavalry.
"King, at that time, the army of Daqian had already surrounded us, and the brothers who didn't have war horses couldn't pull it out at all, so I had to break out with the remaining cavalry to retain the blood of my Huns!" Parma hurriedly explained.
Although he is indeed greedy for life and afraid of death, if he does not run, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.
"And how many cavalry did you bring back?" Akagi Ahan asked coldly.
"Less than three thousand ......," Parma lowered her head again.
The original cavalry of 10,000 men was left with less than 3,000 men after several hours of hard fighting, plus the final breakthrough.
Chimu Ahan suddenly felt a headache, less than 3,000 people, that is to say, now there are only about 10,000 left in the 200,000 army of the Xiongnu.
The population of the Xiongnu was already small, and the more than 10,000 people, plus the survivors by the Chimu River, could only reach the size of one tribe.
If the Great Cadre comes to crusade against the Xiongnu at this time, the end of the Xiongnu will be the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species!
And all this is not only because of Parma's command error, but also because of the group of Western Regions people who attacked the tribe!
If it weren't for them, they wouldn't have brought people back, as long as they were still at Jianmen Pass, even if they gave the Daqian army a hundred dares, they wouldn't dare to go out of the city to attack.
It's a pity that the army is defeated, and it's too late to say anything, and what Chimu Ahan has to think about now is how to keep the blood of the Huns.
"You lost the battle and abandoned your brother, it should have been a capital crime, but now is the time to employ people, and this king will spare your life for the time being!" After much hesitation, Akagi Han still didn't kill Parma in the end.
After all, the generals he can trust are dead and wounded, and Parma is also his own uncle and a trustworthy person.
"Thank you for not killing the king!" Barma was overjoyed, immediately grateful, and hurriedly kowtowed to Akagi Han.
"Send the order to all the cavalry to gather the civilians by the Chimu River within two hours, cross the Chimu River with all the remaining supplies, and we will go to the other side of the Chimu River for the winter." Akagi Ahan thought for a while and said.
"Crossing the river?" Barma was stunned for a moment, "King, the Chimu River is inaccessible, there are often wild beasts, and there are countless wolves alone, do we really want to live over there?" ”
Akagi Ah Han snorted coldly and said angrily: "Otherwise? Although the other side of the Akagi River is dangerous, with the Akagi River as a barrier, we can evacuate in time if there is any situation. Now that Daqian has captured our war horses, we will soon be able to pull up a cavalry team, and if we continue to stay, this will be the end of extermination! ”
