Under Meng Tian's request, the Meng Army decided to end the battle quickly.
They quickly attacked the Xiongnu's base camp and massacred the defenders here.
As they killed, they looked at the grain that the Xiongnu army had stored here.
Needless to say, there were quite a lot.
However, it was impossible to take them away.
They could only think of a way to destroy it so that the Xiongnu would have no food to support them and could only retreat.
Thinking of this, Meng Tian ordered the Meng family's army to light torches and burn the grain.
The Meng army received the order and raised their burning torches, throwing them into the grain pile.
In an instant, a huge fire rose.
The rations that were enough to feed tens of thousands of soldiers for a month were burned to a crisp.
Meng Tian was not a person who liked to fight. Seeing that it was about time, she immediately gave the order to retreat.
The ten thousand Meng soldiers quickly retreated from the battlefield and returned along the path they came from.
They had not killed many Xiongnu soldiers in this battle, but it was of great significance.
Presumably, the Xiongnu leader's expression would be very interesting when he learned that the rations in the rear had been burned to ashes!
……
The battlefield between Tu 'an and the Xiongnu.
The battle here had already reached its climax.
Tu 'an's soldiers occupied the city wall and focused on defense.
For a moment, the Xiongnu side could not be taken down for a long time.
Even so, the earth wall that Tu 'an's soldiers relied on to defend was also heavily damaged by the siege weapons of the Xiongnu.
Perhaps the earth wall would collapse soon.
At that time, the Xiongnu army would charge in, and that would be the real end of Tu 'an.
General Jin was fighting at the front line, commanding the battle.
Now, two hours had passed since the battle began.
Tu 'an and Xiongnu suffered losses on both sides.
But overall, the Xiongnu still had the upper hand.
Yu Shu stood beside Xiao Chuan, watching the battle unfold with anxiety.
On one hand, she was afraid that Tu An would lose.
On the other hand, she was afraid that Xiao Chuan's plan to retreat would fail.
At that time…
In front of Tu 'an Pass, behind the Xiongnu army.
The Xiongnu leader stood on the high platform and scanned the battlefield in front of him with a smile in his eyes.
"Haha, it seems that we have overestimated Tu An's strength. Judging from the current situation, they will definitely be defeated if we attack fiercely for another two hours.”
The surrounding deputies also smiled, as if victory was in their grasp.
However, at this moment, a fast horse suddenly ran over from behind the Xiongnu camp.
Immediately after, a Xiongnu soldier fell off his horse. He stumbled over and fell in front of the Xiongnu leader.
"Leader…Big... Something bad has happened. Our headquarters has been ambushed.”
The Xiongnu leader and the adjutants were stunned.
Their base was ambushed?
What the hell?
"How is that possible? Our base camp is in the hinterland of the Xiongnu. Who can enter there to launch a sneak attack?”The Xiongnu leader questioned.
The Xiongnu soldier swallowed his saliva and continued,""It's the Meng army, the Meng army's cavalry. They ambushed our headquarters, leader, please return quickly!”
The Xiongnu leader finally lost his composure when he heard the words 'Meng Army'.
He had fought with the Qin soldiers for many years, especially with the Meng Army.
They were all well-trained and very powerful.
If it was really the Meng Army that ambushed their base camp, it was possible!
Thinking of this, the Xiongnu leader was furious and kicked the Xiongnu soldier who sent the message away.
"There are more than a month's worth of rations that we have stockpiled there. If we are ambushed…"
The deputies were also panicking.
"General, what should we do now?”
"General, let's go back and help! Without those rations, how are we going to deal with the Qin army?”
"It's probably too late to return to defend now. It's at least an hour's journey from here to the main camp. By the time we return, I'm afraid it'll already be..."
The Xiongnu leader's heart was in a mess. He raised his hand to signal everyone to shut up.
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he immediately ordered,"Pass on my order, retreat in a roundabout way and immediately return to help. There are still five thousand soldiers in the base camp. They will definitely be able to deal with the Meng Army for a while.”
Hearing this, the deputies did not hesitate and immediately passed down the order.
In order to avoid chaos, they did not reveal the real reason for the withdrawal.
He simply ordered the retreat.
This made the Xiongnu soldiers who were fighting extremely confused.
What the hell? They were fighting well, why did they have to retreat?
Did his head get caught in the door?
However, they were still soldiers and could only obey the orders of their superiors.
In an instant, groups of Xiongnu soldiers retreated from the battlefield and ran back.
This scene also fell on Tu 'an's city wall.
Many Tu 'an soldiers were overjoyed when they saw this.
"Retreat! The Xiongnu have retreated!"
"That's great. We're safe."
General Jin and his few deputies were also extremely dumbfounded as they looked at each other.
Why did they retreat just like that?
And without any warning!
King Tu 'an was also dumbfounded. He turned to look at Xiao Chuan."Mr. Xiao, this..."
Xiao Chuan's lips curled up." Why? They've already withdrawn their troops, and you're still not happy?"”
This made Yu Shu laugh.
At the same time, she felt relieved.
The result in front of him was the best.
The Xiongnu retreated, and Tu An was safe.
Xiao Chuan won the bet, so he naturally did not have to commit suicide.
However, General Jin…
The Xiongnu withdrew their troops and had no intention of fighting again. This gave Tu An a chance.
Under General Jin's orders.
She also shot out several waves of arrows, leaving behind many Xiongnu soldiers 'corpses.
In a short two minutes, the tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops had all retreated.
Only arrows and corpses were left on the battlefield.
Only two hours had passed since the start of the war.
Xiao Chuan won the bet.
