As the war progressed, the Huben army began to feel a little weak. Both the leading general Zhou Bo and other soldiers could no longer hold on.
This situation that occurred on the battlefield naturally could not escape the eyes of Maodun Shanyu. Modun Shanyu's anxious heart gradually calmed down. "Even if you are powerful in combat, what should you fear? After all, you still can't hold me back.
The siege of the Huns' 30,000 cavalry." Maodun Chanyu thought to himself.
The battle between the two armies was not only about combat power, but also about endurance. Although the Tiger and Ben army defeated the Huns cavalry in terms of combat power at the beginning, in terms of endurance, the 10,000 Tiger and Ben troops were definitely no match for the 30,000 Huns cavalry. This is not true.
The battle only lasted for a while, and the Huben army fell into a state of exhaustion.
In line with the purpose of "killing you while you are sick", Maodun Shanyu issued a decisive battle order to the Huns cavalry, preparing to use the numerical advantage to annihilate the Qin tiger army on the Hexi grassland in one fell swoop, and wash away the Huns cavalry.
The humiliation of the previous defeat in Hexi.
…
Seeing the Qin army gradually falling into a disadvantage, Wu Nahao, who was watching the battle, could not sit still. "General Kangjunuo, the Qin army is about to be unable to support it!"
"God's will, it seems that the Great Qin Tiger Army is about to end." Kang Junuo lamented.
Half an hour later, the losses of the Huben Army reached 5,000 people, but the rate of Xiongnu cavalry losses slowed down significantly. The number of battle casualties only increased by 1,000 people, and the total loss was 6,000 people. As the leader of the Huns,
Only then did the military commander, Xu Bu Puppet, stabilize his mentality.
At the very beginning of the battle, the Huben Army's cavalry fire after waves, coupled with the powerful combat power displayed by the Huben Army when the two armies first started fighting, made Xu Bu puppet doubt his life and almost destroyed the army.
The confidence of a powerful Huns general.
It wasn't until the battlefield situation changed and the Huben army began to show signs of fatigue that Xu Bu Puppet's self-confidence, which had almost collapsed, was re-established. However, it was still not as arrogant as when he suggested that Maodun Shanyu directly attack Xianyang.
The essential difference is that before, there was blind confidence, but now the arrogance has been eliminated by the Tiger Army, and only some unyieldingness remains.
As the commander-in-chief of the Huben Army, Zhou Bo's mentality also changed with the battlefield situation. Seeing more than half of the casualties of the Huben Army, Zhou Bo had some emotions in his heart that were different from the excitement before the war. Not only did this emotion include feelings for the Great Qin Huben Army,
Cherishing the glory, but also feeling guilty for the soldiers who died for the country following him in this war, of course, there is also unavoidable self-blame for underestimating the enemy and greedy for merit.
But now the two armies are completely fighting together. Even if Zhou Bo wants to withdraw, he can no longer withdraw. Apart from fighting to the last soldier, there is no other way out. However, there is another possibility, and that is another Tiger Army.
Able to appear in time and participate in this fight.
As the war progressed, the Huben army's losses increased, and the casualties surged to more than 7,000 people, while the Huns' losses only increased by 500 people, for a total of more than 6,500 people died in battle.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, the remaining three thousand Tiger and Ben troops regained their confidence. From the commander-in-chief Zhou Bo to every soldier, everyone launched a ruthless attack on the Huns cavalry with the determination to die.
Just when Zhou Bo and others were desperately engaged in the final fight, another Great Qin Tiger Army suddenly appeared on the battlefield. It was the other Tiger Army that had been separated before.
It turned out that when Zhou Bo was preparing to attack, another Tiger and Ben army of 10,000 people was thirty miles away. When the Xunbing general informed the commander of the army that Zhou Bo was leading 10,000 people to attack the 30,000 Xiongnu army, but
This frightened the general who led the army, so he led the Huben army to start a rapid march to support Zhou Bo. Fortunately, they finally arrived before Zhou Bo's entire army was wiped out.
When these 10,000 Huben troops arrived on the battlefield, they jumped directly into the battle. With the bonus of 10,000 Huben troops, Zhou Bo and the surviving Huben soldiers were so excited that they launched an even more ferocious offensive against the Huns cavalry.
With the addition of 10,000 horses, the Huns' cavalry quickly suffered several defeats. The most terrifying thing was that these defeats spread among the Huns' army at an extremely fast speed.
After a while, this rout evolved into a large-scale rout, and tens of thousands of Huns cavalry began to flee blindly.
At this point, Maodun Shanyu could no longer sit still. He immediately organized his guards to intercept the fleeing Huns soldiers and tried to block them back to the battlefield. However, he was defeated like a mountain, even though these guards killed dozens of deserters.
, and cannot stop the general trend of defeat.
At the end of the blockage, a magical scene occurred. Maodun Shanyu also joined the fleeing queue, leading a group of attendants to escape faster than anyone else.
Faced with such a good thing as the defeat of the Xiongnu, Zhou Bo would certainly not let it go, so he led 13,000 tiger soldiers and began to pursue the Xiongnu cavalry. The tens of thousands of tiger soldiers were like tigers coming out of the mountains, and the chasing Xiongnu cavalry were like desperate rabbits.
Same.
It wasn't until sunset that the pursuit came to an end.
Behind a mound three hundred miles away from the west of the river, a group of cavalry was lying on the ground panting. There were about a hundred of them. They were sitting around a general exhausted.
It turned out that they were the Huns cavalry who were guarding Modun Shanyu's escape, and the person sitting among them was Modun Shanyu.
"Da Shanyu, it seems that we have thrown away the pursuing Qin army."
"Take... a few people to... inquire and see if... you can... find out information about... Xubu Puppet." Maodun Shanyu breathed heavily and ordered the guards around him intermittently.
Since the defeat, Modun Shanyu started a shameful and tragic escape journey under the protection of these soldiers. He fled and was embarrassed all the way. Until here, the number of soldiers around Modun was reduced from thousands to just a few hundred.
…
Early the next morning, the Huben troops who were chasing the Huns' cavalry returned to camp one after another. Almost every team of Huben troops who returned to camp brought countless heads with them and escorted hundreds of prisoners.
It was not until noon that all the Huben troops returned to camp. After counting the prisoners and beheaded heads, Zhou Bo knew the result of the battle: the Huben troops lost 7,300 people and killed 16,000 of the enemy.
Captured 8,000 people. Although they did not capture the enemy chieftain, they captured Xubupu, the vanguard general of the Xiongnu army.
