Rumble ~ Rumble ~
The ground on the grassland shook as a huge team that stretched for dozens of miles slowly advanced into the depths of the grassland.
Groups of Xiongnu soldiers riding on warhorses!
Herds of cattle and sheep were used as logistics supplies!
Wooden carts carrying all kinds of items and Xiongnu corpses!
This huge troop consisting of Xiongnu cavalry, cattle, sheep, and horse carriages, which stretched for several dozen li, began to move from their original encampment into the depths of the grasslands.
The army retreated!
The Xiongnu army was slowly retreating!
At this moment, the morale of the Xiongnu army was a little low!
Especially when countless Xiongnu soldiers looked at the corpses piled up on the wooden carts!
The 200,000-strong army attacked the Han Dynasty and attacked the border of the Han Dynasty, but they were blocked outside the Great Wall. They were unable to break through the Great Wall. Not only did they gain nothing, but they also suffered countless casualties!
This made every Xiongnu soldier feel a little depressed, especially compared to the previous time when the Great Chief led them to break through the border. In Yunzhong, Yanmen and the other two counties, they killed wantonly and plundered countless people. This time, it could be said to be extremely bleak.
Every soldier was walking in silence and listless.
The Xiongnu army was in a great battle. The military minister, Chanyu, was also leading a group of generals on a horse and walking silently in front of the army.
Junchen Chanyu was expressionless!
He had failed!
This was a failed attack!
Although this defeat would deal a blow to the dignity of the Xiongnu, it would not have much of an impact.
In the future, his military minister, Chanyu, would definitely invade the Han Dynasty to boost the morale and dignity of the Great Xiongnu!
Just as he was riding his horse in silence!
Ta…
A fast horse galloped over to Junchen Chanyu's side.
The military minister, Chanyu, and many generals frowned as they looked at the Xiongnu soldier who was rushing over. They didn't know what was going on.
"Reporting to the Great Chief, the left wing of our army was suddenly attacked by the Han army!”
The soldier quickly reported.
"What? The Han army had charged out? Where is Prince Xian of the Left?"
The military minister Chanyu's eyes widened when he heard this. He was in disbelief. The Han army had actually charged out of Chang City!
"Prince Xian of the Left is organizing troops to resist and counterattack the Han army!”
The military minister Chanyu let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.
At this moment!
Ta…
Another two warhorses were charging over!
"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, the Han army from Shanggu County on the right wing of our army has suddenly moved out and is attacking the right wing of our army!”
"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, the Han army of Yanmen County has charged out from behind my army and is rapidly charging towards the back of my army!”
The two of them reported to the military minister.
The expressions of the military minister, Chief, and the generals changed drastically when they heard this!
This was unbelievable!
The Han army hid behind the Great Wall and used the advantage of the Great Wall to kill countless Xiongnu warriors.
It was one thing for them to hide behind the Great Wall, but they had actually charged out!
This was shocking!
"Yi Zhi Xie, quickly lead the army to intercept the enemy behind us!”
The military minister Chanyu was the first to order his younger brother, King Yi Zhi Xie of the Left Valley.
"Yes, Chief Chanyu!"
Yi Zhi Xie immediately turned his horse around and began to organize his army, preparing to intercept the Han army that was charging out.
After Yi Zhixie left, the military minister Chanyu immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and prepare to welcome the Han army.
"Chief Chanyu, the Han army has really eaten leopard guts to dare to charge out. We can just destroy them!”
"That's right, Great Chief. If we kill them, we can cross the Great Wall!”
"Haha, the Han army is courting death!”
Many generals laughed.
However, the military minister Chanyu did not do as they thought. He guessed that the Han army would not wait there to fight them.
The Han army's border garrison was no match for the Xiongnu army.
As expected!
After a few hours, news came from all directions. Once they had organized their army to fight back against the Han army, the Han army would continue to retreat!
Once they stopped chasing and prepared to retreat, the Han army caught up again.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
The military minister chanyu cursed in a low voice. How could he not know that the Han army was biting onto their thighs and swearing to bite off a piece of meat!
Especially now that the Han army was closely following them, it greatly delayed their retreat.
Snow was already falling in the sky. When the snow got heavier and covered the withered grass, the temperature would get lower and lower. Their large herds of cattle, sheep, and horses would face starvation and frostbite. They would be greatly affected.
On the other hand, the Han army did not have that many herds of cattle and sheep. Although they would be affected by the weather, they were definitely much smaller than them.
If their cattle and sheep were to suffer frostbite and die, it would be a huge blow to the strength of the Xiongnu!
Therefore, the military minister Chanyu was very anxious, and the generals of the various tribes were also very anxious. They were anxious to leave!
However, the Han army was like a plaster, sticking close to them. They would run when they were attacked, and chase when they were retreated, causing the Xiongnu armies to be extremely furious.
General Chanyu had no choice but to order his troops to fight and retreat. As long as the Han army's logistics line was extended, they would not dare to recklessly chase into the grasslands.
However, retreating while fighting greatly reduced the combat strength of the Xiongnu army, making it unable to display its powerful combat strength.
The Han army from all directions also took advantage of this opportunity to attack from time to time, killing the Xiongnu while intercepting the cattle and sheep!
Behind the main Xiongnu army!
Rumble ~ Rumble ~
Tian Meng led 30,000 troops and continuously attacked the Xiongnu army!
The Xiongnu cavalry was fast, but their cows and sheep could not move so fast. From time to time, they could always seize the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat!
This chase lasted for nearly half a month!
And on this day!
Tian Kong decisively ordered the army to retreat. They were already very far from the Great Wall, and it would be difficult for the army's logistics to keep up.
If they continued to chase, it would be very easy for problems to occur. Moreover, the night on the grasslands was abnormally cold, and the soldiers could not stand it anymore.
Therefore, they had no choice but to give up on the pursuit and return to the border county!
"Governor, our Yanmen army has seized sixty to seventy thousand cattle and sheep!”
On the way back, the Western Commandant Zhao Yuan happily reported to Tian Meng.
Tian Meng nodded slightly. Although he didn't kill too many enemies this time, he had gained a lot of cattle and sheep.
"What about the other armies?" Tian Qiong asked the general beside him.
" Governor, the various tribes have just reported that Li Guang's troops in Yunzhong County have seized about 50,000 cattle and sheep. However, Li Guang's troops have suffered many casualties, while Cheng Bushi's troops in Shanggu County have seized about 30,000 cattle and sheep. The army has not suffered any losses, and the other tribes have also obtained some gains..."
Tian Meng nodded slightly. Li Guang was bold, and Cheng Buzhi was strict. Thus, Li Guang's gains and losses were greater, and Cheng Buzhi's gains and losses were smaller.
Although the Han army had paid some price in this pursuit, the number of cattle and sheep they had harvested had quickly reached 200,000. It was also a huge harvest!
Presumably, the imperial court would be excited when they learned of this news!
"Now that the Xiongnu have completely retreated, it's time for me to report victory to the Imperial Court!”
Tian Meng stared into the distance and said in a deep voice.
