Everyone in the coalition knows that the Hun cavalry is difficult to deal with. Once the Hun cavalry is allowed to gallop, the coalition cavalry is fine, but the infantry will definitely face a one-sided massacre.
However, it is really rare that the Huns cannot use their assault force like this today, and the advantage of the Huns cavalry cannot be used, like an eagle with broken wings, and this is an excellent opportunity to defeat the Huns.
The officers and soldiers of the coalition forces knew this, so they all used all their strength to kill with all their strength, even if they were ten points, they had to exert their strength to twelve points.
Without their horses, the Huns' cavalry was not invincible. With their hands and feet bound, they could not withstand the encirclement of the five parties. Under the charge of the five parties led by the powerful generals of the coalition, the Huns retreated steadily and were finally completely defeated. Wherever the red tide of the coalition forces overflowed, the land became more dazzling and bright red, as if the entire Donglong Pass had been soaked in blood.
Broken internal organs, severed limbs, mutilated corpses, wailing horses, and screaming Huns formed a tragic war picture.
……
With the death of Yuv Luo, the ambush at Donglongkou has basically come to an end.
Except for a small number of Hun soldiers who were loyal to Huvro and continued to resist stubbornly, most of the Huns chose to surrender when they were surrounded by five sides and had no retreat.
Qin Hao would naturally spare the lives of those who surrendered. These people would be the precious labor force to rebuild Yanmen Pass in the future and mine coal mines. They would work to death for the Yanmen Army, so Qin Hao was reluctant to kill them.
As for those who stubbornly resist, they will all be put to death without mercy. If they are not used by me, they will be killed by me. There is no room for negotiation on this point.
The butcher knife of the coalition forces also made the Donglong Valley, which was already stained red with blood, once again become a little more beautiful.
In this ambush battle, Qin Hao broke the rules of war and used 30,000 coalition troops to ambush 40,000 Huns cavalry at Donglongkou, which was not suitable for an ambush.
In the end, they killed 10,000 enemies, captured 28,000 prisoners, captured more than 70,000 war horses (all the Huns cavalry were one man and two cavalrymen), and countless weapons, bows and arrows, and achieved a complete victory.
Although the results of the battle were great, the casualties of the coalition forces were also not small. The Yanmen Army suffered 3,000 casualties and the Bingzhou Army suffered 2,000 casualties. However, compared with the results of the battle, these casualties are really not worth mentioning.
Five thousand casualties greatly defeated the 40,000 Xiongnu, a casualty difference of close to one to ten. This was definitely a great victory in the four hundred-year history of the Han-Hungarian war, but Qin Hao still seemed dissatisfied with this.
What Qin Hao wants is total annihilation, but although this idea is good, it is impossible to realize it due to the terrain of Donglong Valley.
All the generals tried their best, but in the end there were still about 2,000 Xiongnu who broke out in the direction of the three central and northern counties with Yuvroud's last words.
Qin Hao secretly complained about this in his heart. Temujin was originally a hero of the Huns and was popular among the people. But once Fuluo's last words were transmitted back to the Huns, it would be even more like a fish in water. As fate would have it, Temujin became the Shanyu general of the Huns.
No more resistance.
Although the Huns were severely damaged by Qin Hao and their remaining strength is less than a quarter of their original strength, with such a talented and strategic leader, it is only a matter of time before they recover and even grow stronger. Yanmen Pass will still be troubled in the future.
Seeing Qin Hao's brows furrowed and looking worried, Wang Meng gently shook his feather fan, walked slowly to Qin Hao's side, and said with a faint smile: "My lord, are you worried about Temujin?"
"Well!" Looking at the direction of the three northern and central counties, Qin Hao said solemnly: "Temujin is far from being comparable to Yu Fuluo. Once he becomes the Xiongnu Chanyu, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
"Haha, my lord, you don't have to worry so much. After taking over the three counties in the north and north, our army's strength will grow explosively, while the Huns are recovering from their wounds." Wang Meng smiled lightly and analyzed for Qin Hao: "One is declining, the other is growing.
Even if the Xiongnu regained their strength, what would our army have to fear at that time? When soldiers come, they will be covered by water and earth. This is an eternal truth!"
From the raid on Yanmen Pass to the present, the Huns have lost up to 180,000 troops, and after losing the three northern and central counties, they will lose hundreds of thousands of herdsmen.
This level of damage cannot be recovered in two or three years, so Wang Meng doesn't think that the Huns still have the ability to threaten the Yanmen Army!
Wang Meng didn't know Temujin in the original history, nor did he know how terrible Genghis Khan was, so he was so optimistic, but Qin Hao knew.
Temujin started with a tribe of thousands of people and eventually unified the grasslands. The hardships involved were definitely no less difficult than unifying the Central Plains.
Now that Temujin is about to take control of the Xiongnu who still have a population of nearly 700,000, the starting point is dozens of times higher than before, so how can Qin Hao not be afraid?
"That's true, but..." Qin Hao frowned and said, "I feel uneasy!"
Seeing that Qin Hao still had a frown on his face, Wang Meng didn't understand why his lord valued Temujin so much, but relieving the master's worries was the basic duty of a counselor, so he secretly thought about how to prevent Temujin from becoming a chanyu.<
/p>
"If the lord is really worried, Meng has a plan that may prevent Temujin from becoming a Chanyu of the Huns." After finalizing his decision, Wang Meng's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, and he said confidently: "Even if this plan fails in the end, it will also make the Huns fall into trouble."
Civil unrest!"
"Really?" Qin Hao asked in surprise when he heard this: "Sir, why don't you come quickly?"
"In the Xiongnu, if a Chanyu dies, the Chanyu's position should be inherited by the Chanyu's son. If the Chanyu's son is too young to succeed, according to the convention, the Chanyu's position will be inherited by King Zuoxian, and it will not be Tiemu's turn anyway.
This is the true King of Righteousness!"
Wang Meng sneered and said: "Liu Bao, the son of Yu Fuluo, is about to come of age. He is the first heir to the throne of Shan Yu, and Hu Chuquan, the king of Zuoxian, is the second heir. My lord, do you think these two people will be willing to give up the throne to Shan Yu?"
position?"
"Sir, what you mean is..." Qin Hao's heart moved and said: "Provoking civil strife among the Xiongnu? But Yufuluo appointed Temujin as Shanyu before his death. Can Liu Bao and Hu Chuquan fight against Temujin?"<
/p>
"So what if there is Yu Fulo's deathbed appointment? Who wants the power that originally belonged to him?" A trace of ridicule flashed at the corner of Wang Meng's mouth, and he continued: "But these two people alone will definitely not be able to defeat Temujin, only together can they
There is a slight chance of winning. No matter what the outcome is, even if they fail in the end, it will cause the Xiongnu to fall into internal fighting, which will benefit our Yanmen Army without any harm!"
"What a good plan. Not good..." Qin Hao laughed, then suddenly thought of something, and said in panic: "Huchuquan is still at Yanmen Pass, regardless of whether he can break out of the sea of fire, even if he does break out, he will definitely
It cannot withstand the siege of five thousand archers."
"My lord, with Hu Chuquan's ability, it is very possible to escape from the sea of fire." Wang Meng said quickly: "So it is better to send someone quickly to inform the two generals."
"Well! Qin Yong, I order you to rush back to Yanmen Pass as quickly as possible, and you must save Huchuquan's life!"
"No!"
Qin Yong did not hesitate at all. As soon as he finished speaking, he mounted the black whirlwind and galloped away to Yanmen Pass at full speed.
Looking at Qin Yong's gradually blurring back, Qin Hao murmured to himself: "I hope it's still too late, otherwise I will have to find another way!"
