After these people dispersed, the relevant news soon reached Huyan Dangtu's ears. After all, the Xiongnu Empire has been gaining power for a long time, and there are still many diehards and idiot fans.

"Hmph, these guys..." Huyan Dangtu clenched his fists, filled with resentment.

In the past, the first thing he had to do was to twist off the heads of these scumbags who dared to have different intentions and hang them on the top of the city!

But now, it doesn't work.

Although these tribes are all small tribes, they are huge in number, adding up to tens of thousands of settlements.

Although in fact, even if these tens of thousands of people rebelled, Huyan Dangtu would only need one thousand knights to suppress them!

but……

Now, the Han Dynasty army is outside the city.

At a time when the empire's survival was at stake, Huyan Dangtu no longer dared to attack these tribes and forced them to rebel.

No reason.

Simply because if these tribes are forced to rebel in his hands, a chain reaction will inevitably occur.

You know, in the Hexi Corridor, there is still a Hunxie tribe worth tens of thousands of people that has not yet been conquered!

If we force these people to rebel, there is no guarantee that the non-Xiongnu tribes on the entire grassland will not become sad and resist collectively.

What's more important is that Huyan Dangtu is already preparing for defeat.

For nomads, of course, one must expect failure.

What should I do if there are strong winds during my migration?

What if when you arrive at the scheduled migration transfer station, you find that there is no grass growing there?

What should you do if you encounter a snowstorm in winter?

In addition, there are epidemics, plagues, locust plagues and a series of unexpected crises that are unpredictable, unpredictable and uncalculable.

Therefore, on the grassland, the leader of any tribe must have the awareness of "What should I do if a crisis occurs?"

People who do not have such awareness will either be chopped into pieces by the angry tribesmen or die in the crisis.

And for thousands of years, bloody lessons have deeply taught the nomads that they must be prepared for anything.

This is a basic skill for the leaders of nomadic tribes.

After the Battle of Heyin, Huyan Dangtu knew that it was only a matter of time before Gaoque fell.

Giving up Gaoque and even Yinshan became his options.

Because these places are too close to the border of the Han Dynasty.

The main force of the Han Dynasty can provide very effective support.

The Battle of Heyin proved that, except for the divine cavalry, the combat effectiveness of other armies of the Han Dynasty far exceeded the elite of the Huns themselves.

In this way, fighting the Han Dynasty in the riverlands has become extremely dangerous.

In fact, in the heart of Huyan Dangtu, even if the Han Dynasty people could not conquer this high tower, they could not hold it until spring.

This is something determined by the characteristics of the Huns.

It is impossible for the nomads to cram such a huge army into a small area like Gaoque City for a long time.

To the Xiongnu, this was no different than committing suicide.

The reason is simple. The cavalry requires pasture support for their horses and food.

It was impossible for the Huns to do the same as the Han Dynasty, which continuously mobilized livestock, fodder and food from hundreds or even thousands of miles away to support Gaoque.

Even if it miraculously did it, it would usually only bring one result. Maybe the Han Dynasty did not defeat the Xiongnu, but the Xiongnu died from such attrition.

This is not a joke, it is a fact.

Therefore, since ancient times, the people who draw bows have been like birds gathering together when they win, and disintegrating like clouds when they lose.

I think back then, the tug-of-war between the Han and the Hungarians at the Great Wall was so overwhelming that the old Shanyu could only send envoys to repair it and shake hands to make peace.

Therefore, once Heyin was defeated, Huyan Dangtu knew that Gaoque could not be defended.

If you are exhausted, you can consume the strength of the Han Dynasty people at Gaoque, and then abandon the city after winning.

The same is true for Yinshan Mountain.

Unless we can achieve a decisive victory in the field, defeat the Han Dynasty's offensive, and break the myth that the Han Dynasty's cavalry is invincible, especially the invincible divine cavalry.

Otherwise, don't go fighting with the Han Dynasty people anymore.

Since we can't fight in the field, then there is no point in defending the Hejian Land and Yin Mountain.

That has no other effect except consuming the Xiongnu's own strength.

Even if the Han Dynasty people were smart, they would just send troops to confront the Xiongnu at Gaoque and Yinshan Mountain.

By attrition, the Huns can be dragged to death.

so……

"The Bank of China said that what it said to Lan Tuoxin before he died was right..." Huyan Dangtu said with emotion: "It's a shame that I didn't believe it before!"

Bank of China said that before his death, he told Landosin that once the Han Dynasty came out of the fortress, they would give up the land before Gaoque after a slight resistance, and try to block the Han Dynasty's front at Gaoque. If they found that they could not resist, give up immediately.

Gaoque, abandon the Yinshan Mountains, turn to the Hexi Corridor, and use space and time.

At the same time, people from the Han Dynasty were lured deep into the Hexi Corridor.

Then concentrate all the forces of the country to encircle and annihilate a certain main force of the Han Dynasty that went too far.

Even if you use 100,000 cavalry to besiege thousands of people!

In the past, who would write a letter to the Bank of China for such assertions?

At that time, everyone felt that Bank of China was probably confused. How could the Huns be so reduced that they had to surrender Gaoque and Yinshan just in exchange for surrounding and annihilating a Han army of no more than a few thousand people?

However, after the Battle of Heyin, Huyan Dangtu had woken up.

The Bank of China’s judgment is correct!

The Huns now lag behind in terms of cavalry tactics, equipment and even techniques and tactics.

The Battle of Heyin was like a winter thunder that resounded through Huyan Dangtu's body and mind.

This allowed him to clearly see the gap between the Han and Hungarian countries.

The Xiongnu fell behind the Han Dynasty not only in their equipment.

The tactics displayed by the Han Dynasty were a brand-new cavalry tactic, based on high-speed maneuvers and emphasizing collective combat.

On the other hand, the Xiongnu were still using the same old tactics from decades ago.

This was the reason for the disastrous defeat of Wanqi of the Huyan clan.

As for the spirit, spirit, skills and tactics, the Huns were not just one or two steps behind the Han Dynasty.

The tenacity and terror shown by the Han Dynasty army in the Battle of Heyin is still engraved in the heart of Huyan Dangtu.

Let him understand what a terrible opponent he is facing.

Such a team player is really terrifying to the current Xiongnu.

Even Huyan Dangtu no longer had any confidence in defeating the Han cavalry in a field battle.

It was not just the brutal battle of Heyin that made everyone present at that time feel heartbroken and no longer brave enough to face the Han Dynasty's troops.

It’s even more because the Huns can’t afford to lose now.

Huyan Dangtu was convinced that as long as he failed in the field battle again.

Then, all the tribes inside and outside Gaoque City will stand up to resist the Xiongnu and kneel down to lick the Han Dynasty.

And if Gaoque was lost now, it would be a devastating disaster for the Huns Empire.

Behind Gaoque, there are now countless people and livestock, including hundreds of thousands of tribal people and slaves who retreated from before Gaoque.

Among them, there are more than 100,000 pregnant women or women who have just given birth to children.

These are all people who are powerless, extremely weak, and have no ability to resist.

More importantly, they are the future of the Huns.

Therefore, Gao Que must not make any mistakes now!

The tribes in the rear must be bought enough time to retreat.

This is the reason why Huyan Dangtu dare not leave the city to fight now.

Now, all he needs to do is delay.

Every day you delay gives you one more day to retreat.

"Come here!" Huyan Dangtu called his loyal slaves: "Go and tell Brother Zhe that I want him to evacuate He Lai and Guhu to Hexi within three days and place them near Rouge Mountain...

The Lan people are watching them!"

Huyan Dangtu revealed the names of more than a dozen tribes.
