Chapter 126: Mao Dun is on the run
As the battle dragged on, the Tiger Ben army began to be a little overwhelmed, whether it was the leading general Zhou Bo or other soldiers, they were a little unable to support it.
This situation on the battlefield naturally can't escape the eyes of Mao Dun Shan Yu. Mao Dun's hanging heart gradually calmed down. "Even if you are strong, what are you afraid of? After all, I still can't stand the siege of 30,000 cavalry of my Great Huns. Maudun thought to himself.
The two armies fight, not only for combat power, but also for endurance. Although at the beginning, the Tiger Ben army completely defeated the Hun cavalry in terms of combat power, but in terms of endurance, the 10,000 Tiger Ben army was definitely not the opponent of the 30,000 Hun cavalry.
In line with the tenet of "taking advantage of your illness, you will die", Mao Dunshan Yu issued a decisive battle order to the Hun cavalry, preparing to use the numerical advantage to annihilate this Great Qin Tiger army in one fell swoop on the Hexi grassland, washing away the humiliation of the Hun cavalry's previous defeat in Hexi.
……
Seeing that the Qin army gradually fell into a disadvantage, Wu Nahao, who was watching the battle, couldn't sit still, "General Kangjunuo, the Qin army is about to lose its support!" ”
"Providence, it seems that this Great Qin Tiger Army is coming to an end." Conjunow lamented.
Half an hour later, the losses of the Huben army reached 5,000 men, but the speed of the Hun cavalry losses slowed down significantly, and the number of battle losses increased by only 1,000, for a total loss of 6,000 men. As the chief general of the Xiongnu army, Su Bu puppet stabilized his mentality.
At the beginning of the battle, the Tiger Ben Army's wave of cavalry shooting, coupled with the strong combat power shown by the Tiger Ben Army when the two armies first started fighting, once made the Su Bu puppet doubt his life, and almost destroyed the confidence of this Hun general.
It wasn't until the battlefield situation changed, and the Tiger Ben Army began to be tired, that the self-confidence of the Su Bu puppet that had almost collapsed was re-established, but it still couldn't be fundamentally different from the arrogance when he suggested that Mao Dunshan Yu kill Xianyang directly.
Zhou Bo, as the commander of the Tiger Army, his mentality also changed with the battlefield situation, seeing that more than half of the Tiger Army's casualties, Zhou Bo bred some emotions in his heart that were different from the excitement before the war, this emotion not only cherished the glory of the Great Qin Tiger Army, but also the guilt of the soldiers who followed him in this war, and of course, it was inevitable to blame himself for his greed for the enemy.
It's just that the two armies are completely mixed together at the moment, even if Zhou Bo wants to withdraw, he can't withdraw, except for fighting to the last soldier, there is no other way to retreat, but there is another possibility, that is, another tiger army can appear in time and participate in this fight.
As the war progressed, the losses of the Tiger Ben army became greater and greater, and the casualties surged to more than 7,000 people, while the losses of the Xiongnu increased by 500 people, with a total of more than 6,500 killed.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, the remaining 3,000 tiger troops regained their confidence, from Zhou Bo, the commander of the unified army, to every soldier, everyone launched a ruthless attack on the Hun cavalry with the determination to die.
Just when Zhou Bo and the others were desperately engaged in the final battle, a Great Qin Tiger Army suddenly appeared on the battlefield, which was the other Tiger Army that had been separated before.
It turned out that when Zhou Bo was about to attack, another 10,000-strong tiger army was thirty miles away, and when the Xun soldiers told the general of the unified army of Zhou Bo that Zhou Bo led 10,000 people to meet the 30,000 Xiongnu army, he frightened the general of the unified army, so he led the tiger army to start a rapid march to support Zhou Bo, but fortunately they finally arrived before Zhou Bo's whole army was annihilated.
When the 10,000 tiger army arrived at the battlefield, they were directly engaged in the battle, with the bonus of 10,000 tiger army, Zhou Bo and the surviving tiger army soldiers were excited, and launched a more ferocious offensive against the Hun cavalry.
With the bonus of 10,000 horses, the Hun cavalry soon had several routs, the most terrible of which was that this rout spread among the Hun army at a very fast speed.
Moments later, this rout turned into a large-scale rout, and tens of thousands of Hun cavalry began to flee blindly.
At this point, Mao Dunshan Yu could no longer sit still, he immediately organized his close attendants to intercept the fleeing Hun soldiers, trying to block them back to the battlefield, but the army was defeated like a mountain, even if these guards killed dozens of deserters, they could not stop the general trend of defeat.
In the end, there was a magical scene, Mao Dunshan Yu also joined the queue to escape, and fled faster than anyone else with a team of close attendants.
In the face of such a good thing as the defeat of the Huns, of course Zhou Bo would not let go, so he led 13,000 tiger troops to begin to pursue the Hun cavalry, tens of thousands of tiger troops were like tigers out of the mountains, and the chasing Hun cavalry was like outlaw rabbits.
It wasn't until sunset that the chase came to an end.
Behind a mound three hundred miles west of the river, a group of horsemen, about a hundred in number, lay on the ground, panting, exhausted and sitting around a general.
It turned out that they were the Hun cavalry guarding Mao Dun Shan Yu's escape, and it was Mao Dun Shan Yu who sat among them.
"Da Shan Yu, it seems that we have thrown off the pursuing Qin army."
"You bring ...... A few people went to ...... Inquire and see...... Can...... Inquire about ...... Message from the Sulp puppet. Mao Dun Shan gasped and ordered the guards beside him intermittently.
Since the defeat of the army, Mao Dun Shan Yu started a humiliating and tragic escape journey under the escort of these soldiers, all the way to the humiliation of the whole way, until here, the soldiers around Mao Dun were reduced from thousands to only a hundred.
……
Early the next morning, the Huben army that pursued the Hun cavalry returned to the camp one after another, and almost every team of Huben troops who returned to the camp carried countless heads and escorted hundreds of prisoners.
It was not until noon that all the Tiger Ben troops were completely returned to the camp, and after counting the heads captured and beheaded, Zhou Bo knew the result of the battle: the Tiger Ben army lost 7,300 men, killed 16,000 enemies, and captured 8,000. Although the enemy chieftain was not captured, he captured the Xiongnu commander Su Bu, the vanguard general.
