On the plains, not only was General Zuo filled with anger, but many other Xiongnu leaders who had participated in the pursuit of the Han army were also filled with anger!
The news of tribes being conquered one after another and waves of Xiongnu civilians being slaughtered reached their ears. It drove them crazy. A Han army of less than 2,000 people had actually killed so many of their people. It was a vicious slap to their faces!
However, they could not catch up to this army for a while. The other party was as slippery as a loach.
This made them look gloomy as they searched day and night to track this enemy army.
While the tens of thousands of soldiers on the plains were divided into nearly ten teams to pursue the Han army!
Chanyu's Royal Court!
In the Golden Eagle King's tent!
"Damn it!"
"Cunning Han thief!"
"I swear to slaughter you!"
……
The military minister Chanyu could no longer suppress his anger. The news of the Xiongnu troops being defeated and the Xiongnu people being slaughtered made him go crazy.
Anger, anger was about to spew out!
Ever since the 5,000-strong Solitary Tribe was slaughtered, he had received news that three more tribes had been directly breached. More than 3,000 Xiongnu civilians had been killed!
These were all Xiongnu people. There were not many Xiongnu people to begin with, but because of the invasion of 2,000 Han soldiers, they had suffered such great losses. This made him filled with anger.
Up until now, more than 13,000 Xiongnu soldiers had been slaughtered. Even if he killed all 2,000 Han soldiers, it would not appease his anger!
Moreover, there was still no news of the Han army being destroyed!
This made his expression even gloomier.
Looking at the angry Chief, some Xiongnu ministers in the king's tent also fell silent.
Their expressions were also gloomy and ugly. Things had gone beyond their imagination.
The massacre of the Han army had shaken the grassland and the rest of them!
They had never thought that the Han army would be so powerful and terrifying. Moreover, after so many days, they still had not caught up to the Han army and destroyed them!
"Great Chief, this general is very extraordinary!”
The leader of the Zhongxing Shuo said to Junchen Chanyu calmly.
The military minister Chanyu's face was gloomy. He turned to look at him and asked,
"Do you know of any Han generals that are this powerful?”
Zhong Xingshuo shook his head,
"Chief Chanyu, I guess that this general is not a veteran. He is probably a young general who rose to power in the Han Dynasty!”
The military minister nodded slightly when he heard this. He didn't think that a veteran of the Han Dynasty would take the risk to bring such a small army to the Xiongnu territory.
"This person is extremely cunning and bold. In addition, in order to pursue speed, the other party abandoned their supplies. We couldn't react in time and expected this!”
Zhongxing Shuo said solemnly.
"With such a general at the Han border, we have to be careful in the future!”
The military minister Chanyu's expression was also not good. His face was dark as he thought about which general in the border would dare to do this.
Cheng Bushi? This was a very cautious Han Dynasty general. It seemed unlikely!
Li Guang? This general was bold, but did Li Guang have such ability?
……
After thinking about a few that he knew, Junchen Chanyu felt that it was unlikely.
Unfortunately, the Xiongnu spies who were active in the border counties of the Han Dynasty had not sent any news yet. They had no way of knowing who this general was!
"When I catch this guy, I will skin him alive!”
The military minister chanyu said hatefully, and his eyes stared outside the king's tent.
From the information he received, he knew that the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes had already moved out and led their troops to encircle and suppress this Han army from different directions. They had cast a large net and were waiting to capture this Han army.
At this moment!
Somewhere on the grassland!
An army of less than 2,000 soldiers continued to march forward.
"Governor, there is a group of soldiers following behind the troops. We can't shake them off no matter how hard we try!”
Lieutenant Zhang Wanqian said to Tian Meng with an unpleasant expression.
"Governor, this group of soldiers has been following us for a long time. They are the scouts of the Xiongnu. With them around, our whereabouts will be completely under the control of the Xiongnu!”
Yang San Er, who was beside him, also spoke to Tian Meng solemnly.
Tian Meng's expression didn't change as he listened. It was only a matter of time before they were caught up. Moreover, he guessed that the enemy army had already formed a circle and wanted to surround them!
As he thought about this, he swept a glance at the soldiers behind him!
After a few days of high-intensity killing on the grasslands, although the morale of this group of soldiers was high, it was obvious that they were deeply exhausted.
They were already gritting their teeth and persevering!
If they continued to stay on the grasslands, not to mention being captured by the Xiongnu, the soldiers would probably not be able to withstand it.
Then, he looked at the string of heads hanging on their warhorses.
In order to not carry any burden, all the heads were only recorded and not chopped off. These heads were only chopped off after the few tribes at the back were defeated.
Although he did not bring back too many heads, the number of enemies killed this time had long exceeded his expectations!
It was time to leave!
"Where are we now? How far are we from the border of Yanmen Prefecture?”
Tian Meng asked Yang San Er.
Hearing this, Yang San 'er knew that Tian Meng was planning to return.
He quickly looked around, then said to Tian Meng,
"Mayor, we have left the Ghost Chariot Tribe for four hours and have been heading southwest. If my guess is correct, we are now at the northern part of the western border of Yunzhong Prefecture. It is a long way to go back to the border of Yanmen Prefecture!”
"Heh, it's not just far away. The Xiongnu army is probably already there!”
Tian Meng laughed and said,
"We'll take the shortest route and head south to Yunzhong County!”
"Governor, if we take the nearest road, we might encounter the Xiongnu army!”
Yang San 'er reminded.
" It's already chaotic now. There might be enemies in any direction. At least we're keeping a certain distance from the enemy and heading south. Even if we encounter the enemy, they might not be able to stop us before we reach the border!”
Tian Meng said to him.
Yang San 'er nodded. He couldn't care less now. This group of scouts had been following them for so long. If they were to delay any longer, they would definitely be surrounded.
"Tell the soldiers that they have made a great contribution this time. Now, I will bring them back to receive the rewards of the Imperial Court!”
Tian Meng shouted at Zhang Wanqian.
Zhang Wanqian felt relieved and excited when he heard that Tian Meng had finally decided to go back.
That's right, they had made a great contribution this time. As long as they could return successfully, each of them would be able to obtain a large amount of rewards!
He immediately conveyed the message to the soldiers.
The soldiers, who were originally dispirited and had their eyelids drooping, were all pleasantly surprised when they heard this.
They had made a great contribution!
They were going back to receive their rewards!
In an instant, the entire team's spirits were lifted!
