Chapter 283: A Song of Generosity
White Mountaineering, seven days and seven nights. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The casualties on both sides were unimaginably large, and the more than 400,000 soldiers on the Xiongnu side now had less than 200,000 left, while the original 300,000 soldiers and soldiers were reduced to less than 100,000.
How cruel!
If it weren't for the Han army to contain the cavalry and archery advantage of the Xiongnu through the terrain, I am afraid that now the Han army has already perished, of course, there will be advantages and disadvantages, they are also besieged on Baishan Mountain, and the arrows, branches, grain and grass are about to be cut off. Once it really reaches the point of running out of ammunition and food, then it will really be the end of the Han army.
And on this day, King Han finally decided to break through.
The Han soldiers were very happy today, the ban on food was lifted, originally there was only one meal a day, and the food was too little, but tonight it was open to supply, until it was full. Everyone knows that this may mean that something is about to happen, but it's good to have enough food in front of you, who cares about tomorrow?
"More, eat more. King Han looked at the soldier in front of him, who was weak but still had a light of hope in his eyes, and began to doubt himself in his heart, "Can I really, really be able to win this war, can I really lead them out of a desperate situation?"
King Han began to doubt himself.
"Your Royal Highness the King of Han, how much money can be paid after winning this battle, I will point to these salaries and go home to get married! I am eighteen years old this year, and the neighbor's two Ni are seventeen, just waiting for me to go home and marry her! She is in a hurry......" The young soldier who was desperately picking up food saw King Han and asked with a smile.
Looking at this young man who didn't delay eating without delaying his speech, King Han's heart was very heavy, this young man's fingers were already missing three fingers, the wound was hastily bandaged, and blood was still oozing out, but his face was full of hope.
"Don't worry, this time when you go back, the salary will be doubled, and there will be additional rewards. King Han said loudly, not only to the soldiers in front of him, but also to everyone around him.
"Thank you, Your Highness King Han. The crowd was excited and responded in unison.
"Release, don't worry, I will definitely take you back to your hometown. King Han thought in his heart, "If, if you can't go back, I, I'll stay here with you." β
His gaze began to harden.
"Tomorrow, the winner is tomorrow, you, don't let me down!"

Mao Dunshan Yu was very anxious, he had given up his plan to completely destroy the Han army. Now, he only hopes that the Han army can surrender, so that he can maintain enough power and troops to return to the grassland to subdue many tribes.
If the current form continues, I am afraid that one day when the Han army will be completely destroyed, my hegemony in the grassland may also come to an end.
He didn't think that King Han would let himself return to the grassland with all his beards and tails, and it was impossible for King Han not to understand such a simple truth as dying together.
"Queen ......" looked at the woman in front of her who assisted her, and her mood was very heavy, "If I have any accidents this time, you will ...... when you go back"
Princess Donghu covered her husband's lips and blocked what he was about to say: "No, we will win this time...... Certain. β
Mao Dun Shan Yu regained his previous domineering spirit in his eyes again.
"Yes, we will win!"
......
Before dawn, the night was as dark as ink.
The armies on both sides began to move, but no sound came out, and even the horses seemed to feel the tension before the battle, kicking their horses' hooves restlessly.
Although it was pitch black, the managers of both sides could see each other's eyes.
That'sβthe eyes of Fang Xiu to death!
Only one of the two parties can survive, there is absolutely no second possibility!
"Kill!" the two torrents collided in an instant.
It's just that it's not the waves, but the stumps and blood that are splashing. The blood flowed into a river that flowed through the ground beneath his feet, darkening the already dark red color.

"Are you going to lose......" King Han smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but think in his heart. At this time, he was already covered with wounds, and there were several deep visible bones, and the Xuanhuang military qi had dimmed so much that it was almost invisible, which was also the reason why his defense was greatly reduced, and the Mao Dun Shan Yu on the opposite side was much better than the Han King.
A smile of victory already appeared on his face, just like the hideous smile on the faces of the soldiers of the Hun army who completely surrounded the Han army.
"Surrender!" said Maudun smugly.
"Hehe......" King Han was about to say something, when he was suddenly interrupted by the shouts of his subordinates.
"Look, then, what's that?"
"Oh my God, that's, that's ......"
"Sima Dutong, that's Sima Dutong, he is sitting on the tiger called Simba, he, what is he holding in his hand?"
There was a cacophony of sounds......
Although he knew that it was unlikely that the Han army would have reinforcements, after all, he had left some scouts in various arteries, but the changes of the Han army still affected him, and Mao Dunshan looked back.
Just one glance, his expression changed, his eyes were split, and his face was full of horror. A cavalry force of no more than a thousand men galloped from behind him, and the first one was dressed in armor and rode a winged tiger.
It was Ma Xiaoming.
"Ha, Shan Yu, my lord. Ma Xiaoming's laughter came from afar, "You-"
"Do you know what the sky looks like in the grassland?"
He waved a yellow flag in his hand, and on it a creature that looked like a wolf but not a wolf was roaring in the sky.
This is the totem of the Xiongnu, which is stored in the symbol of the Xiongnu imperial court.
ββββββ
The defeat was like a mountain, and no matter how Mao Dunshan reined in the army, he still could not stop the decline, and when Ma Xiaoming trumpeted how he swept away the Xiongnu imperial court, the Xiongnu's military spirit was exhausted.
If it was just a totem, the Flying Tiger Army behind Ma Xiaoming carried a large number of items that could prove their combat exploits, such as Mao Dun Shan Yu's son and daughter......
The Han army once again aroused its fighting spirit, the weapons in their hands were more stable, and the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides changed immediately.
Finally, the first deserter appeared, followed by the second, and then the third......
Like a domino effect, more and more Xiongnu soldiers began to flee, the Han army also began to pursue, countless Hun soldiers fell, and a large number of Han soldiers died in the pursuit, after all, both sides were exhausted. Even if the situation is good now, it is difficult for the Han army to expand its gains, and it has to stop after chasing and killing for a while.
In the early stage, the Han army lost too much and too quickly, and this was originally an excellent opportunity to annihilate the Xiongnu army, but it had to be abandoned.
Mao Dun Shan Yu also fought hard to give the King of Han a hard beating, and then fled with the remnants of the army. Before leaving, the eyes that looked at Ma Xiaoming were full of hatred. (To be continued.) )
