"They have been retreating eastward. We didn't find any new Han army." Zakuma asked, somewhat uncertain, "they're running away?"
Within the time determined by Li Kuang, the Han Army camp on the front battlefield seemed to move eastward in confusion, which was no longer a circle of cavalry fighting.
The Han Army camp retreating from the front battlefield was indeed very embarrassed. Before they set out, the most powerful force reached more than 70000, but less than 30000 remained within a hundred miles close to their national border, which means that more than half of the people stayed in that strange foreign land.
Not all the people who did not successfully retreat with the large forces, whether they were the guards of the western regions, or the Han Xiaoguo and the entourage of the western regions, were dead. Some became prisoners of the hunit people, and some dispersed with the large forces in the state of mobile warfare.
Unless it is clearly registered during the war, it will only be recorded as missing. However, as long as it is recognized as missing in a world war, it is basically difficult to reappear.
"There is another enemy in our territory." Lekuma has always wanted revenge. Since he said that, it means that revenge did not succeed: "you need to support me."
Zakuma knew what kind of support lekuma needed, but shook his head: "of course, the enemy will be destroyed, but we have no surplus troops."
"As long as the enemy is still there, our logistics will always be threatened!" Lekuma did not hide his hatred: "I need to destroy them to restore my reputation!"
I don't know if they didn't receive the notice of withdrawal, or if the withdrawal deadline of the troops led by Yang Su didn't come, they were still wandering in hunit.
This 3000 Han Army almost succeeded by lekuma. It was only by retreating quickly and decisively that it could continue to wreak havoc in the territory of the hunites. It was inevitable that there would be casualties. There were only 2200 left of the 3000 people.
"We lost too much this time." Zakuma didn't know all the news, but only those he knew almost fainted: "the Han army was like a devil. Most of our territory was ravaged. The number of people killed in the sneak attack could not be counted. There were more than 500 destroyed villages and attacked tribes."
Lekuma has better information. He knows more accurate data from the tribe. Excluding the casualties caused by the battlefield confrontation, more than 400000 people died in the sneak attack of the Han army. In addition to the attacked villages and tribes mentioned by zakuma, two other big cities were burned down by devastating fires.
The Han people and their running dog, the people of the western regions, rushed into the territory of hunit. They saw that hunit people, men, women, old and young, were brutally killed, destroyed houses, burned villages, killed livestock and took away war horses.
On the side of the hunites, the crimes of the Han people and the running dogs of the western regions are countless.
The world has never been divided into camps without pure good and evil. At present, the Han people have done countless things to the hunit people, but haven't the hunit people done anything to other countries (nationalities)?
If the hunites stand on the side of the Han Empire, they will be very excited and proud. They don't know how many celebrations will be held.
This is the so-called other hero and my enemy. The truth is so simple.
"What we can do now is to pursue while waiting for Kam's orders." Zakuma said that Kam was a 'servant', and lekuma's father was one of the 'servants': "Maha will send an order soon."
Maha is a sacred place of hunit people. It is located in the west of the modern dukush mountains. It is not a large city, not even a small mountain village. When the temple is built, elders have been stationed for a long time. In case of major events, each "servant" has to go. The "servant" will consult with the elders, inform Shan Yu of the results of the consultation, and Shan Yu will finally make a decision.
The chief of hunit people is Shan Yu. At that time, most nomadic leaders are Shan Yu and a few are Da Han.
Nomads have a tradition every time. The Xiongnu's tyranny for so long has had a great impact on the world, including some titles that affect nomads.
Such forces with Hun descendants as hunnit generally continued some titles of the Hun period. For example, the leader called them Shan Yu, some titles such as Zuo Xian Wang, You Xian Wang, Bi Xiao Wang and Danghu... Were abandoned, while some titles such as commander in chief, commander in chief and Centurion were retained.
Hunit's politics and religion were not unified, which was a situation of being subject to religion. It is very simple to form such a situation. The patriarch of each major tribe is generally a "servant". Their "servant" is the human spokesman of a God and has the natural right to speak. If the force that Yu alone controls does not reach the title of suppressing everything, then Yu alone is naturally subject to religion.
The Han Army camp looked embarrassed, and the hunit cavalry fighting with it was not much better.
The 50000 hunit cavalry commanded by zakuma, except the 15000 cavalry released, the 35000 cavalry on the front battlefield were only about 17000 when the Han army took the initiative to retreat.
Although the number of troops is relatively small, the Han Army camp is the retreating side, and the hunites in pursuit have a psychological advantage.
"Precisely because they took the initiative to retreat." Zakuma said happily: "if they insist... Even for one day, we can't support it first."
Lekuma was full of thought to get back face. In fact, he didn't have more time to listen to zakuma's bitter water: "without solving the Han Army, our future will never be safe!"
As a Mamu, losing face means losing prestige. It's not important whether we can completely wipe out the Han Army that sneaked around the back. The key is that lekuma must show the side of vengeance.
Lekuma came back with 3000 cavalry. After meeting, their strength could exceed 20000. Zakuma repeatedly tried to persuade lekuma to join the army, but it was obvious that the persuasion failed.
"Reinforcements have come from the Aral Sea." Lekuma insisted, "after the meeting, your troops will reach 67000. You should allocate 5000 troops to me!"
Zakuma already knew that Xianhai had sent reinforcements, which was one of the main reasons why he continued to pursue seriously. Otherwise, he should pretend and give up when he chased to a certain extent.
"Two thousand." Even if zakuma doesn't give face to lekuma, he will give face to zaiyaku: "no more!"
There are another two thousand cavalry, which adds up to a total of five thousand cavalry. Lekuma goes to various camps to gather together, and he can gather up another two or three thousand cavalry. But the cavalry gathered up at the back are either old and weak or healthy women, that is, to build a strong momentum. It is not very useful to fight in real war.
The Han scouts hiding in a low slope grass showed confused expressions when they saw the hunit troops.
This Chinese scout team has been following for six days, always paying attention to the movements of the hunites and reporting to the rear in time. There are several other paoze teams doing the same thing with them.
Paying attention to the enemy's movement is what any commander will try his best to do. In such an era, if you want to know the enemy's movement, you can only rely on scouts. That's why an excellent scout can equal at least one force.
The news of the division of hunit troops in the pursuit state was spread to Li Kuang. Zhao changlike discussed with a group of praise paintings. Their conclusion was that the divided hunit cavalry went to intercept their unrequited troops.
"We still have two troops that have not withdrawn. One of them is Yang Su's headquarters who was ordered to attack logistics." Zhao Chang never forgot how many troops he had on the battlefield: "we tried to contact Yang Su's headquarters, but we didn't find them. In a way, it's good news."
"No retreat after the rendezvous period?" Li Kuang looked at the mountain map hanging on the shelf without looking away: "they can't withdraw, or find valuable targets?"
Zhao Chang is more inclined to Yang Su's department. He can't withdraw: "the hunites have lost too much. They are all crazy."
During their retreat, they were constantly attacked by a small group of hunit people. Many hunit people came to die like moths to the fire. The word "Crazy" is very appropriate.
The hunites who constantly raided the Han Army and killed them either survived the Han army attack or had blood relatives who died in the Han army attack. They didn't work hard immediately before. I don't know why. They came to work hard with hatred and shame.
On the left side of the expedition, the Han Army has withdrawn to within 50 miles from its own border line. If it retreats another 20 miles to the East, it should reach the preset position.
Li Kuang always stayed with the left army, together with the marching commander Shi, who was also in the left army, while the right army was handed over to Deputy General Yang Rui.
"Over time, Vice General Yang has launched an offensive against the Aral Sea." Zhao Chang knew why Li Kuang had been staring at the mountain map: "if they can conquer the Aral Sea in time, we can form a double attack on the incoming enemy."
If he hadn't fought with the hunites, Li Kuang didn't think it was difficult for the hunites to fight. It was because he had fought several times. Seeing the tenacity and tenacity of the hunites, he could not help guessing that it would be difficult to decide the outcome of the war in the Aral Sea.
"Even if it is difficult to make a quick decision, it will also make it difficult for the hunites to give consideration to both the head and the tail." Zhao Chang had to be a pity. If there were enough troops in the western regions, they wouldn't have fought so hard as long as there was another army: "the general trend is still in me."
There are only 15000 regular troops in the western regions. They spent 10000 on this expedition in hunit, and recruited 40000 Han and 130000 western regions.
When the first stage of the war came to an end, did you include the two troops of the right route army and the left Route Army who were cruising and attacking hunnit, and there were less than 30000 left route troops retreating to the border.
Among the 30000 people, there were more than 11000 Han people, and about 4000 Han people were left in hunit. Of the 56000 people from the western regions who were called up for the expedition, more than 37000 remained in hunit.
If it is defined by the goal of consuming the people of the western regions, there is no doubt that the protectors of the western regions are successful, not to mention the results of the rampant destruction of the left army in the hunit people. Even if the left army of the expedition was completely destroyed in the hunit country, it actually made a lot of money only based on the data.
"120000..." Li Kuang finally looked away from the mountain map: "add the previous 130000..."
After the Han people recovered the western regions, according to rough statistics, there were more than 2.3 million recorded people in the western regions. So far, they have recruited 250000 people in the western regions, almost cleaning up the young and strong people in the western regions.
Zhao Chang thought that Li Kuang had some hesitation or confusion. He whispered, "for the great cause of the Great Han Dynasty and future generations, what's wrong with the death of non-Chinese?"
"Ha ha." Li Kuang will not blame himself or be confused because too many western people have died: "in the second stage, only those western people may have rebellions or riots."
"Their relatives are in the rear." Zhao Chang breathed a sigh of relief and continued with a smile: "our propaganda is that the hunites want to go to the western regions to burn, kill and loot. They will try their best to resist. That is, they dare to have different intentions... Just let the princes in the court know that slow is better than disease."
Li Kuang doesn't want to leave a record of incompetence on his resume. He has always been under psychological pressure that others can't understand. When he was a school captain, his wife was already Linzi Ling. When he became a Zhonglang general, his wife became Gong Ling and also served as Diao Chan. With such a wife, as a husband, I don't want to stand still for a moment.
When the troops retreated to the position of the preset battlefield, they could finally catch their breath. The chasing hunnites found that there were more than 100000 Han troops here. They may not know how many belonged to the Han army for a while. More than 100000 were a number that made the hunnites dare not rush up.
At first, the hunites were scared to withdraw twenty miles. Zakuma found out that more than 90000 of the more than 100000 were talents from the western regions and ordered to stop retreating.
"The Han Empire is killing two birds with one stone!" If zakuma didn't make it clear before, he should also make it clear when he saw a large number of western people recruited to the battlefield: "they are deliberately pulling western people to the battlefield consumed by us!"
So what if you figure it out? The people of the western regions rushed into the territory of hunit and did those things. It is impossible for the hunit to give up revenge because the people of the western regions were driven by the Han people.
"Han people are too insidious!" Zakuma did not know the new changes in the northern Xinjiang of the Han Empire, but thought that consuming the people of the western regions was one of the goals of the Han Empire: "is it possible for us to plot against the people of the western regions?"
Pushmar is ima with the army, a role similar to a priest. He was stunned and then reacted: "it depends on whether we can win this battlefield."
"Clearly tell the people of the western regions that they are being consumed?" Zakuma didn't like the answer: "those western people like horse dung don't know that the Han Empire wants them all to die?"

Happy Mid Autumn Festival, everyone!
