Chapter three hundred and fortieth final madness
Bai Shi led thousands of remaining soldiers toward the east, and now only this side was the safest for them. He heard the shouts of killing coming from behind and the Huns' cavalry behind them came to him.
Only then did I realize what a big mistake I had made. Since I was sure after the Qin army came to attack, it was not the Yuezhi people who broke into Shanyu's tent that day but the Qin army, why didn't I expect that the people and horses who disappeared along the way would be there?
Attack from the west again to cooperate with the Qin army in front.
Although he felt very regretful, it did not cause Bai Ban to lose control. He immediately sent men and horses behind him to block the incoming Qin cavalry. However, this played into the Qin people's hands, and the Xiongnu's military strength was originally
It was not enough to fight against the Qin army, but they fought desperately to block the Qin army's attacks. At this time, the morale of the army was chaotic because they were attacked from behind. In addition, they had to divide their troops to resist the enemy. This finally led to the Xiongnu's frontal defense force.
Started to collapse.
When he saw the commotion behind the Huns, Zhang Han realized that they were Long Qie's men and was overjoyed. Although the Yuezhi people at this time could not come to help them as promised because Maodun was attacking them, Long Qie
Moreover, this group of cavalry also achieved the effect of the Yuezhi people. Zhang Han immediately ordered the entire army to attack with all their strength. He wanted to eliminate all the Xiongnu troops here in this battle.
However, the Huns are cavalry after all. Their cavalry is not an advantage in defense, but once it comes to a breakout, it cannot be stopped by the Qin army. Bai Ban is also a person who can afford to put down. Seeing that,
When he could no longer defend but the whole army would be wiped out, he resolutely gave up the defense and started to break out with the remaining cavalry.
The Qin army was on guard against him breaking through, so they deployed a lot of men and horses around. However, once the Xiongnu cavalry moved, it was no longer something that the infantry could resist. Thousands of Xiongnu cavalry were killed in a melee.
, and after losing nearly 10,000 infantry, the Qin army failed to stop the Huns from advancing and allowed them to break out to the east. However, the Qin army still won this battle, and they occupied the Huns.
He led the Shanyu to his tent, killed tens of thousands of Huns cavalry, and even drove the rest of the Huns to flee.
Seeing the Huns escaping to the east, Zhang Han naturally would not miss this opportunity. He immediately picked out all the cavalry in the army of nearly 70,000 people and ordered them to bite the Huns tightly, and it would be best to annihilate them all.
And he himself was reorganizing his troops here, preparing to go directly to the west after taking a rest to fight Maodun, who had no way of retreat.
The tens of thousands of Qin army cavalry rushed to catch up. Seeing that the Huns were so vulnerable today, they thought they could annihilate them all if they caught up. They would have made a great contribution from then on, so every cavalryman moved forward desperately.
, not daring to relax at all.
But they still underestimated the Huns' cavalry. Once these people were allowed to gallop on the open grassland, they would not be able to compare with the Qin army's cavalry. After the Huns knew that the Qin army's cavalry was chasing Wan Xu behind them,
Instead, they slowed down their march and slowly lured them up. Then the Huns relied on their superb horse skills to attack these ungrateful Central Plains people with bows, arrows and sabers. The tens of thousands of Qin troops actually
Unable to withstand the back-and-forth sudden attacks of the Huns' cavalry, more than half of the Qin army was killed under their horses in just half a day, while the Huns only suffered less than 500 losses.
When the Huns rushed through the Qin army and turned around to fight again, the remaining Qin troops already knew that they were no longer their opponents, so they shouted and scattered before the two armies fought.
The 10,000 Qin troops who originally wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds were defeated by thousands of Xiongnu remnants. This made all the Huns feel that they had saved a little face, but at the same time an important question was placed in front of them:
Where should they go? Some people suggested that they go west to find Maodun, some said that they should find a tribe to settle down first, and some suggested that they should fight back and take back Shan Yu's tent while the Qin army was unprepared. Because there was no one in charge here.
The leader, so in the end the Huns' eyes fell on Bai Ban and Ji Du who were standing aside. After all, they were two people deeply trusted by Mao Dun. These Huns also knew their abilities, so they hoped
The two of them can give themselves a right direction.
Fortunately, Ji Du had the care of the day shift and was able to get here after a bumpy journey, but by this time he was already exhausted. What was more tired than his body was his heart, because he knew that after this defeat, he was afraid that
The Huns could no longer cheer up, and the dream they wanted to achieve was just a dream in the end. It wasn't until he found that everyone's eyes had been on him that he woke up like a dream and said to the white class: "General Bai, what are you doing again?"
What are you going to do?”
Bai Ban said: "The Qin people must have planned this attack for a long time, so the situation over there with Shan Yu must not be optimistic, and once the Qin people defeat us, their target will definitely be Shan Yu and his army."
.At this time, we only have a few thousand troops left. Even if we find Shanyu, we are unable to help him. So I think we should hide now to preserve our strength, and at the same time send someone to notify Shanyu and let him know.
If we are prepared, we will not be attacked by the Qin people like us."
What he said made sense, and it was also the most practical way for this team, so Ji Du also nodded and agreed with the day shift's idea. However, the two of them missed one thing, that is, most of the people here
They were all Mao Dun's cronies. Because Mao Dun believed that attacking the Yuezhi would cause considerable damage, in order to preserve the strength of his tribe, he did not bring his cronies with him. As a result, those who stayed behind in Shan Yu's tent were
Most of them were the most loyal to him, but now during the day shift they said they wanted to abandon Maodun first to save themselves. This was intolerable to everyone. So when they heard this, many Huns showed angry expressions, and some even said they wanted to go.
Save Moton.
The day shift was furious and scolded: "Do you know why you are never a match for the Qin army? That's it. You only know how to be loyal to your leader, but you don't want to make the most correct decision. If this continues, you will all die without a burial place.
Now, I am still under the command of Shan Yu to command you. I order you to continue eastward immediately and stay away from the Qin people until the battle between Shan Yu and the Qin army is over before you think of other options!" Of course he said this.
For his own sake, after all, he still hopes to gain a foothold on the grassland and make a comeback in the future.
All the Huns were stunned for a moment, but then they dispersed to rest. They were too tired, and they really didn't have much energy to argue with the day shift, but their eyes showed dissatisfaction. Ji Du on the side looked at
Seeing all this, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in my heart.
At this time, Lanshi City has reached the most intense stage of the battle. With the Huns' continuous attacks for ten days, all the trenches dug outside the city have been filled in, although the Huns paid a heavy price for this.
, then the Huns rushed directly to the city and launched an attack on the Yuezhi defenders on the city with bows and arrows and other weapons.
The city wall, which was originally a temporary and heightened city wall, soon could not withstand the Huns' repeated attacks and began to collapse. The stones prepared in the city were also used up over time, and even the city could be used to block the wall.
All the heavy objects attacked by the enemy have been smashed down by the Yuezhi people, the bows and arrows in the city are about to be exhausted, and Lan's city is almost unable to support it.
In the past few days, the Huns used some wood to make very simple ladders and other objects. After seeing that the Yuezhi defenders smashed all the stones and wood, they put them on the city wall. After that, the Huns became fearless.
They went up to kill them. One person was killed by an arrow, and the next person quickly followed. After one group went up to the city, they were beaten down by the Yuezhi people who were guarding the city. The next group had already climbed up.
Soon, the city wall of Lanshi City could not be saved. As the city wall fell, the city gate was opened by the Huns from the inside. The scene more than ten days ago happened again, and the Huns rushed in again.
The Yuezhi people in the city were already red-eyed and had completely forgotten how terrifying the Huns were. Although they saw the city gate being broken and the Huns killing generals coming in, they were not afraid at all. They also rushed forward and fought with them after shouting.
The Huns started a hand-to-hand fight. The knife cut into the body, and blood spattered everywhere. When the person fell to the ground, he was trampled into a ball by horse hooves and human feet. There was no mercy, no humanity here, some were just constant killing, and some were just
Life and death.
The Yuezhi people are eager to kill, and so are the Huns. Too many of their comrades have died in order to capture this city. Now that they have entered the city, they will not let go of the Yuezhi people. After all,
The Xiongnu troops were far more powerful than the total number of Qin and Yuezhi people in the city, and their combat power was no match for these powerful Huns. So soon, they were forced to retreat continuously, and more and more people died.
.
Mao Dun looked at Lan's City, the capital of the Yueshi, but he was not happy at all. He never imagined that it would turn into what it is now. He had spent so much effort and lost so many men, even regardless of what was happening behind him.
He was threatened by the Qin people and attacked desperately, but what he got was such a ruin. Now he regretted the decision he made at that time. Knowing that he would return with his troops when he received the news. But
There is no use regretting now. Only by killing all the enemies here can he vent his anger. So Maodun issued an order to massacre the city.
Just when the Huns were about to kill everyone in the city and the Yuezhi people were in deep despair, a group of people appeared not far behind the Huns army. With the command flag pointing, about 70,000 people were killed.
