In the following month.
Liu Dao led his soldiers and beat the Xiongnu alliance army like they were dogs.
The Xiongnu side retreated step by step, and Liu Dao continued to advance.
He did not give the other party a chance to catch his breath.
Every day, Liu Dao would bring the soldiers to challenge them.
After the first battle of generals, with Liu Dao easily killing ten generals in a row, there was no lack of high-level leaders from various large tribes among them.
The Xiongnu alliance army naturally wouldn't be so stubborn and didn't dare to play any more games with Liu Dao.
However, Liu Daotian didn't give up. He led his soldiers to curse outside the camp of the Xiongnu alliance army.
He even specially made the soldiers learn some of the language of the Xiongnu and other tribes.
After all, this was the frontier fortress. When there was no war, many people would have dealings with the tribes on the grasslands. It was not difficult to find a few people who could speak the grasslands.
He was scolded every day and didn't dare to attack.
The morale of the Xiongnu alliance army continued to fall.
Every few days, the morale of the other side would drop to a certain level.
Liu Dao would not hesitate to lead his troops and launch an attack.
With Liu Dao, an exceptional figure on the battlefield, acting as the arrow, and the huge difference in morale between the two sides.
Moreover, Liu Dao deliberately picked the leader of the other party to chase after him.
Regardless of whether the other party was killed by Liu Dao or ran away with his tail between his legs, it would further damage the morale of the Xiongnu alliance army and widen the gap between the two sides.
The Xiongnu side thought of various ways to reduce their losses and stubbornly resisted.
It still couldn't change the fact that he was being suppressed by Liu Dao.
If they lost 3,000 soldiers today, they would retreat three miles. If they lost 5,000 soldiers every few days, they would retreat seven or eight miles. If they lost 4,000 soldiers every few days, they would retreat five miles. No one could withstand such a consumption.
In this month, the Xiongnu alliance army had lost another forty thousand men. Adding on the previous losses, the Xiongnu alliance army on the west had lost nearly half of their forces.
Only the Xiongnu alliance army had horses, so their speed was faster.
However, each time, they could only rely on abandoning a portion of their troops and cutting off their tails to survive.
Furthermore, with the Eastern Hu alliance army and the grassland reinforcements of 10,000 men and 20,000 reinforcements, they were barely able to hold on.
However, he could not hold on much longer.
……
In the central tent of the Xiongnu allied army camp.
The tribal leaders of the plains were all extremely flustered.
"Chief Touman, we must make a decision now. We can't continue like this. The losses are too great. We have to think of a way to retreat.”
One of the leaders of a small tribe took the initiative to bring up the topic of retreat under King Wusun's signal.
Everyone in the tent heaved a sigh of relief. Many of them were waiting for someone to suggest retreating and then agreed.
It wasn't that these people were worried that retreating would affect their reputation.
The reason why they didn't say anything was because they were afraid of offending the overlord of the grasslands, Donghu.
The retreat of the western alliance army was equivalent to selling out the eastern alliance army.
Liu Dao's army could immediately split up and pincer attack.
If Donghu was killed by Great Qin, it would be fine, but if they were not killed, it would be Donghu's turn to kill the traitors.
Someone started, and others immediately echoed.
"Yes, the losses are too serious.”
"That's right. Other than the troops, we've abandoned our camp several times. A large amount of resources have been plundered by the Qin army.”
He had abandoned the camp several times and lost a lot of resources.
To the leaders of the various races who lived on the grasslands where resources were scarce, their hearts ached more than the death of their soldiers.
With resources, there were many people in the grasslands who could not survive and were willing to rely on them. They could easily form a team.
Without enough resources, the entire tribe would starve to death.
"Not only that, I also noticed that the Qin people have plundered a lot of horses. If this drags on any longer, everyone there will get horses.”
Another person said a topic that made everyone afraid.
If everyone in Liu Dao's army was equipped with horses, their mobility would increase, and the Xiongnu alliance army would have no hope of escaping.
Liu Dao had already plundered more than 30,000 horses.
"Indeed, we can't wait any longer."
"Quickly make your decision."
As everyone chimed in, Chief Touman finally put on a painful expression and said,
"We can only retreat. I hope the future Donghu King won't blame us. Order them to pack up and retreat."
As for what Chief Touman, who betrayed his teammates, was thinking, whether he wanted Donghu to die, only God knew.
The remaining 80,000 Xiongnu soldiers on the west began to prepare to retreat.
……
However, if they wanted to retreat, how could Liu Dao agree so easily?
Liu Dao didn't want to end up like the original history. After the Central Plains had conquered the world, he would have to face the Xiongnu, who had already unified the grasslands.
Just like the old hooligan, Liu Bang, who could only marry the princess after the siege of Bai Deng. That would be too disgusting.
It also showed that he was too incompetent and had walked the same path as Liu Bang. What was the point of Liu Dao fighting for the world?
He had sent out a large number of spies early on, and combined them with Li You's analysis and speculation.
Even if the Xiongnu alliance army wanted to retreat before dawn, Liu Dao would discover it immediately.
They directly sent out their entire army to chase after the Xiongnu alliance army.
The morale of the Xiongnu alliance army was already extremely low, and they had no will to fight even after being beaten to the point of retreating.
Facing Liu Dao's attack, the orderly retreat turned into a bloody retreat.
For a moment, he was like a headless fly, running around in all directions, completely disorganized.。
While Liu Dao chased, he intentionally drove the defeated Xiongnu army in a certain direction.
According to the plan, Li You had already set up an ambush in a valley over there and had been preparing for several days.
Liu Dao wanted to kill him in one strike.
……
In the end, in a valley where flames soared into the sky.
"Help!"
"Let me go!"
"Ah ~~~~"
Screams and the smell of roasted meat kept coming. Liu Dao's expression was filled with a cold smile.
The remaining tens of thousands of grassland alliance army had probably died in this fire.
There were already very few people in the grasslands. If they lost another hundred thousand strong youths, it would probably take decades for the various races of the grasslands to recover.
At this moment, some of the troops that had gone out to chase after the grassland soldiers returned.
Li Qiang brought a captive to Liu Dao and said,"
"General, I found something."
"What's wrong?"
Liu Dao asked casually.
"This general discovered that this captive is from the Tu 'an Kingdom. According to him, Tu' an also sent troops to invade the grasslands, and Tu 'an is one of the small kingdoms that came to pay homage to Great Qin.”
Li Qiang pointed at the captive at the side and said directly.
It was fine if the other tribes of the grasslands invaded, but if these kingdoms invaded, the nature of the invasion would be different. It would be a betrayal.
Since ancient times, no one had a good impression of traitors and would not let them off.
Liu Dao sneered and said,"
"The small Tu 'an Kingdom is actually so rebellious.”
