Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 345 Returning to the Army
A scuffle continued until the first light appeared on the horizon, and then it slowly stopped.

Following Maulding's death in battle, the warriors of the Zuoguli King tribe who had no backbone surrendered to Toumanfang or even turned against him in batches.

When Qin Jun noticed that the battlefield had changed, he immediately retreated to Jiuyuan City.

Without the harassment of the Qin army, the subordinates who insisted on resisting King Zuoguli couldn't make much waves when the sky was bright.

The battle damage of this muddle-headed melee was quickly calculated, and Touman almost spit out old blood when he saw it.

It was only half a night, but the Huns' battle damage really made him feel a little bit pained.

Of the 5000 troops of King Zuoguli who launched the rebellion, only 4 remained.However, under the double attack of the Zuoguli King's tribe and the Qin army, the Huns' headquarters suffered an astonishing [-] people!
It is equivalent to the loss of nearly [-] warriors by the Huns in one night. '

Coupled with the 1 Huns who died at the hands of Ziying and the [-] people who were chasing Ziying, the number of Huns still under Jiuyuan City today is even less than [-].

This number is almost the same as that of the Qin army defenders in Jiuyuan City.

If it weren't for the fact that all the Xiongnu army were cavalry who came and went like the wind, I'm afraid I would have to worry about whether the whole Qin army would dispatch to a decisive battle with him.

……

At this moment, Touman Shanyu's determination to capture Jiuyuan City was shaken for the first time.

Looking at Jiuyuan's situation, it is absolutely impossible to win in a short time.

If you continue to attack the city, you will definitely lose your troops. When your own troops lose too much, it will be hard to say whether you can still eat the Qin army in the city.

Judging from the situation last night, the Qin army in Jiuyuan City is more powerful than the Zhao army he encountered when he was young.

And today's Huns can be said to have suffered heavy losses, even weaker than when he just unified the Huns after several years of war.

Even if they can defeat this Qin army and drive the Qin army out of the Hetao area again, such losses cannot be borne by the greatly weakened Huns.

The Xiongnu is not the only nation on the grassland. The Donghu in the east and the Da Yuezhi in the west have always been eyeing the central grassland occupied by the Huns.

However, the impact on his prestige on the grassland would not be so great if he retreated at this point. 10,000+ people came all the way to the city of Jiuyuan.

Going back to the grassland so disheartened, his name will definitely become a joke on the grassland.

Just when Touman was struggling, his guards rushed in hastily.

"Chan Yu, Prince Feiying is in a hurry to write!"

When Touman heard this, his mind immediately eased a little. It seems that the Qin army who only made trouble in the rear has been killed.

We must know that it is not so easy to cultivate falcons that can send messages. It is necessary for the falconers to get along with the falcons and cultivate their feelings since they were young.

And it is necessary to set up an eagle house in a fixed place, and the eagle will not fly back until it is taken away from the falconer and the eagle house.

Even the entire Huns did not have a few falcons that could deliver messages.

When Mao Dun left, he only brought a falcon with him, and he would not use this falcon unless it was the most important thing.

The most important thing for Maodun, who was in charge of chasing the Qin army, was to wipe out all the Qin troops.

As for the others, Touman didn't think much about it.

Although Touman also saw it last night, the Qin army's combat power is quite strong.

However, the Qin army was full of more than 1000 people, and there were a total of [-] Hun warriors in Maodun.

This can be regarded as the only good news in recent days.

He took the water bag hanging on the side, took a gulp of water, picked up the letter from Modun, and just read two lines of headman—choked on it.

Halfway through swallowing a sip of water, I forgot to keep swallowing.

In a single round of losses, what Qin Jun did in Mobei is not comparable to that in Monan.

But it set fire to a few mountains and destroyed a small town with few people.

However, the impact of these two incidents is more than that of the destruction of several great royal courts.

Even Shanyu Wangting's destruction cannot be compared with the destruction of the little Dragon City.

"Quickly announce that the patriarchs will discuss matters in the king's account." Touman said tremblingly.

Once this matter came out, it could be said to be earth-shattering in the Xiongnu.

……

Soon the chiefs of the Huns came to Shan Yu's tent again one after another, but the atmosphere in the tent was more depressing than yesterday.

After all, in the one-night scuffle, although the major tribes joined the battlefield later, in the case of being unable to distinguish between you and me, the losses of each tribe were not small.

And they still don't understand until now, what kind of medicine Maulding took wrongly, why Qin Jun pacified his Wang Ting, but he turned his head together with Qin Jun to attack his own people.

"I have summoned you here this time, and there is one important thing to announce." Seeing that the clan lords were all seated, Touman said straight to the point: "Ben Shanyu decided to return to the army grassland. You may have any objections."

Regarding the Xiongnu's decision, all the patriarchs have already prepared in their hearts. Now the Huns who have suffered heavy losses have no capital to continue to besiege Jiuyuan.

This time, even King Youguli, who was extremely unwilling to leave with the army, hesitated to speak, and did not say anything to dissuade him.

"Although we are returning to the grassland, we still have something more important to do. For the time being, you cannot return to your own tribe." After finishing the first sentence, seeing that none of the clan leaders objected, Touman immediately changed the subject and added road.

As soon as Touman finished this sentence, the various patriarchs who were working suddenly couldn't sit still.

Returning to the grassland without allowing the armies of the various tribes to return, is it true that Shanyu intends to swallow all the tribes in one go?

Looking at the agitated patriarchs, Touman Shanyu slowly took out Maodun's letter and explained: "Just now the letter from Maodun's flying eagle came, and the Qin army that fled behind the grassland crossed the desert to go Mobei."

Hearing Touman's words, the big tent, which was still a little noisy just now, immediately became quiet.

Unanimously, they focused their gazes in Touman's direction.

"The Qin army set fire to the holy mountain and destroyed the Dragon City, and now they are fleeing southward under the pursuit of Maodun."

In the eyes of everyone, Touman slowly said the news he just got.

After Touman's words were finished, Wang Zhang suddenly let out several furious roars after a short period of silence.

"Qin thief, dare to listen!"

"Shan Yu, please lead the army to intercept and kill these Qin thieves immediately."

"Oh my god, are you abandoning me, the Huns?"

……

Seeing that the emotions of all the patriarchs have been mobilized, Touman continued: "Ling, immediately rectify the army, dispatch the whole army tomorrow morning, we must not let that blasphemous Qin army walk out of the grassland alive alone.
