The captain took Kebineng, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and galloped all the way to the rear of the Xianbei army.
Seeing Ke Bi Neng's miserable appearance, all the Xianbei generals couldn't help but be shocked.
"How could the leader be so seriously injured?" Upon seeing this, Captain Gou Nai couldn't calm down for a long time. After being stunned for a while, he managed to calm down and asked in a solemn voice.
"Han, the Han generals are fierce and the leader is invincible..." The captain was about to tell the truth.
However, he was only halfway through speaking when Gou Ne suddenly sliced off his head with a knife.
"Gou Nai! What are you doing!" Seeing Gou Nao's sudden attack, several ten thousand captains around him were also frightened and asked at the same time.
Although Gou Nei is a captain of thousands and has a high status in the tribe, the other party is also a captain of thousands, and his status is not much lower. Even Kebineng himself wants to kill a captain of thousands, at least symbolically.
He wanted to ask everyone for their opinions. But he was so stubborn that he actually killed him as soon as he said he would.
Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of the leader's serious injury to have evil intentions?
"The leader was besieged by a large number of Han soldiers in the front. This man failed to rescue him. Instead, he said that the Han generals were fierce and inflated others' prestige and destroyed his own morale. He should be punished!" Gou Zhe said sternly.
Hearing this, the others fell silent. These Xianbei generals were not stupid people. After listening to Gou He's words, they also figured out the cause and effect. Although Gou He's behavior was too domineering, there was no doubt that
He did nothing wrong.
Could Kebi be seriously injured by a Han general? This kind of thing is not impossible to happen, but it must not be said in public.
If the captain had been smarter and made up a more exaggerated reason when he asked Gou Nei earlier, such as the excuse that the leader of Kebineng was fighting one against a hundred, and was finally exhausted and was accidentally wounded by the enemy, it is estimated that
Even Gou Na would not kill him. But this captain told the truth, so it was a pity that he had to die.
Who is Kebineng? In the minds of the Xianbei people, he has almost the highest belief besides the gods. He is extremely brave and invincible. How could such a powerful Kebineng be injured by a Han general?
To what extent?
If this spreads out, Kebi Neng's prestige in the tribe will be gone, and he may not even be able to keep his position as leader.
Prestige is a thing. The more you accumulate, the more severe your fall will be. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of losing your reputation.
Therefore, Gou Nai killed the Thousand Commanders not because he was disloyal, but because of his loyalty to Kebineng and to quickly eliminate all factors that might be detrimental to him.
Although the captain was quite clever, he was already confused after seeing Ke Bineng was seriously injured. When faced with Gou Nai's question, he answered in a panic without any deeper consideration, so he was unfortunate.
suffered such a disaster.
The captain died just as he died, and there was nothing much worth paying attention to. The question now is, what should we do if Ke Bineng is seriously injured?
There is no doubt that Kebineng's injuries were very serious and he must be treated urgently, otherwise he might die soon.
So in this case, should we withdraw our troops?
Everyone focused their attention on Gou Nai, who was the most prestigious general in the entire tribe below Kebineng.
At this time, only Gou Nai is qualified to make a decision on Ke Bi's behalf.
"Order the entire army to retreat!" Gou Nai turned his gaze to the battlefield and said in a deep voice.
The losses caused by this expedition have been very heavy. Tens of thousands of Xianbei warriors died in the battle, which will definitely damage the vitality of the tribe.
Although the Han cavalry was almost exhausted, their own cavalry was also trapped in the opponent's infantry formation and could not exert much advantage.
Even if the Han army in front of us is completely defeated in the end, it will definitely be a tragic victory, and the casualties our army will have to pay are definitely beyond the range that we can bear.
It is very likely that not even one out of ten people will survive the whole army's attack.
If the fight really got to this point, so what if the Han army was completely wiped out? Our own army would not have the ability to further plunder the Han territory. After returning to the grassland, they would have to worry about being oppressed by other tribes.
Originally, even if Kebineng was not injured, Gouhe had planned to go find him and persuade him to retreat. Now that Kebineng was seriously injured and unconscious, Gouhe, although shocked and grieved, took this opportunity to order the entire army to retreat.
Order.
Some soldiers and horses were left behind as palace troops, and the Xianbei army retreated.
Retreat? The Xianbei army finally retreated!
Looking at the Xianbei army retreating to the rear, Cao Jun burst into cheers.
Finally, we persisted! We will finally defeat these evil thieves! We will finally drive the bandits back to the grassland!
Although Xia Houyuan wanted to pursue him, Xianbei still had thousands of troops left behind. Even though these thousands of troops knew they would die, they did not give up at all. They fought extremely tenaciously and bought enough time for the entire army to retreat.
.After Cao's army annihilated them all, the Xianbei army had already left for some distance.
Xia Houyuan had no choice but to withdraw his army to Jiuyuan City and make other plans.
After entering Jiuyuan City, the number of soldiers was counted. A total of more than 40,000 people died in the battle among the 100,000 troops. Among them, there were 7,500 cavalrymen, less than 500 cavalrymen were left, and 800 tiger and leopard cavalrymen were left. In the end, only more than 50 cavalrymen were left.
.
A total of ten officers at the rank of captain were killed, and the rest, such as military princes and dubos, suffered dozens of casualties.
In addition, the casualty ratio of the two elite units, the Trap Camp and the Euphorbia, also exceeded three-quarters.
Even in the Battle of Guandu, although Cao Jun was under tremendous pressure from Yuan Shao, he never suffered such large-scale damage.
It can be said that this battle with the Xianbei army caused the largest casualties in the history of Cao's army. More than 40,000 people were killed in one battle, and almost all the elite troops were exhausted. This was unprecedented in the wars that Cao's army had ever experienced.
, is unprecedented.
This was the most difficult battle that Cao Cao's army had experienced since the founding of his army.
