The charge of 50,000 heavy cavalry was shocking and scary.
Those who responded quickly nodded and ran away, while those who responded slowly were immediately swallowed up by the incoming black tide.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of people on the Xiongnu side, in front of 50,000 heavy cavalry, these hundreds of thousands of people are no different from paper.
It collapses at the first touch!
The front army collapsed, the middle army collapsed, and the rear army was crushed and crushed from beginning to end. The Xiongnu did not even have the ability to resist at all.
Azhena is both lucky and unlucky.
Fortunately, he survived. When his soldiers saw that something was wrong, they immediately pulled his horse and ran away. They were also escorted by heavy cavalry along the way. They forced a bloody path among their own people along the way. Hundreds of thousands of Huns were killed. Before the army could be charged by Yunzhou's heavy cavalry, it was penetrated by its own heavy cavalry first!
Unfortunately for him, although the war is not over yet, he can already predict the outcome of this war. The hundreds of thousands of them cannot stop the charge of 50,000 heavy cavalry, and they will definitely be overwhelmed immediately.
In the end, there may not even be one-tenth of those who can follow him back to the Xiongnu grassland. As the commander-in-chief of this army, there is no doubt that he has an unshirkable responsibility for the defeat. In the end, he was responsible for the loss of troops and generals. It will definitely fall on his head. The death of so many people is the least that even King Zuoxian can do.
He couldn't guarantee whether he could survive in front of Shan Yu in the end.
But now I can no longer control so much. If I don’t run away, I really can’t escape.
Azhena was running wildly across the road, running so fast with two thousand heavy horses that no one could stop him.
The other Huns soldiers behind were not able to escape so easily. After the 50,000 heavy cavalry smashed the hundreds of thousands of Huns' formation, a large group of regular troops rushed out from behind Gao Po.
Those who ran fast had Qingqi to chase them.
Those who were left behind were gradually devoured by the infantry.
Seng Ge is also in the army, but he is a light cavalry, chasing the Huns who are fleeing. He has been chased by the Huns for the first half of the month, and now it is finally his turn to sing "The Standing Serf". The man was so excited that he howled and led his guards to catch up with the Huns soldiers who were panicking and cutting off their heads and then looking for the next one.
Sengge had never fought against such a downwind before, and it was the first time in his life that made him very happy.
They fought from early morning to dusk, and then expanded the scope of the pursuit after one night. For three days, the Yunzhou Army had been chasing and killing the Huns who were fleeing everywhere.
It was not until the evening of the third day that Guan Ning estimated the time and distance and felt that there would be no greater results if he continued to pursue the enemy, so he ordered the army to stop the pursuit.
According to the last statistics, in the three days of this battle, almost 120,000 Huns were killed by them. The most was the head-on battle when they were charged by 50,000 heavy cavalry on the first day.
When statistics were compiled after the war, there were as many as 80,000 Huns who were still in the same place. On average, each heavy cavalry killed more than one Huns, and the rest were chased by infantry and light cavalry. Killed.
A total of 200,000 Xiongnu troops came across the grassland and killed less than 10,000 people. Not long ago, they were killed by a sudden attack of 5,000 heavy cavalry at the water source in front. The hunt lasted for three whole days!
When Azhena finally collected the broken troops in the central grassland, he counted them and found that the number of broken troops gathered was less than 40,000. The number of people who survived after the battle must be more than these, but only those who could be gathered back in a short time That's all. Any more would require more time, and what they lack now is time.
In order to prevent the Yunzhou Army from catching up, Azhena could only wait for them where they were for two days at most.
After two days, seeing that there were still not many people coming back, Azhena decided not to wait any longer and fled towards the Xiongnu grassland with these 40,000 people.
As for the remaining Huns warriors who had not returned, he could only wish the Immortal God to bless them.
And the army that ambushed them, Azhena, finally figured out in the past few days that it was actually an army under King Yun of the Song Dynasty.
The people on the Tatar grasslands here actually call him Tian Khan.
In the past, they always thought that the relationship between the Tatar grassland and Yunzhou was similar to that between them and the Song Dynasty.
But now it seems that this so-and-so Yun King is clearly about to unify the Tatar grassland, and only the old Tatar royal family Angxi tribe is still holding on. The other tribes have long since surrendered to the Yunzhou Song people.
And the fact that King Yun's subordinates could actually produce tens of thousands of heavy cavalry made him speechless in shock. The Song Dynasty had not produced an army of this size for so many years. This vassal king of the Song Dynasty He actually took it out.
Is this because the Song Dynasty is too useless, or the vassal king is too strong? As the one who was beaten, he said that he could not understand the Song Dynasty's such shameless operations!
Knowing who he lost to and what kind of opponent he lost to, Azhena felt a lot more relaxed.
Facing such an opponent, his defeat seems natural. The fault of the army's defeat cannot be changed, but at least it shouldn't be that serious, right?
With this idea in mind, Azhena withdrew from the Tatar grassland with the remaining "elites" of the 200,000-strong army.
And their withdrawal is certainly a good thing for the Tatar tribes who have never surrendered.
The moment they received the news, someone took out their treasured firecrackers and started crackling them in celebration.
However, those tribes who surrendered under the threat of the Huns were dumbfounded!
Good guy, you didn’t even say a word to me when you ran away. I just betrayed you with my front leg, and you ran away with your back leg, leaving me behind to face a pack of wolves looking around. You are not a fucking human being!
If you wanted to run away, you should have told me earlier. I can run with you!
What's going on now?
When the surrounding tribes that had been chased by the Huns returned to their original territory after the Huns left and saw these surrendering tribes, everyone surrounded them in unison.
"Shuai Guan! When the Huns invaded, fifteen tribes on the grassland betrayed Tian Khan and joined the Huns. Now all the tribes have surrounded these betrayers. How do you think we should deal with them?"
As Guan Ning led his army into the original Xiongnu-occupied area, Sengge, who received the news, immediately came to ask for instructions on how to deal with these betrayers.
Regarding these betrayers, Guan Ning knew without going back to ask that his prince would not tolerate them given his character.
And if they are not dealt with, it will be unfair to the tribes who persisted in not surrendering after the arrival of the Huns.
After the Huns failed to escape, the fate of these surrendered tribes was destined to become the vent of those tribes persecuted by the Huns.
Therefore, Guan Ning did not hesitate too much and gave his answer directly:
"Kill all those over thirty years old, and demote all women and children under thirty years of age into slaves. Yunzhou County has been short of manpower to build the railway recently. This time, the two hundred thousand auxiliary troops in the fifty thousand heavy cavalry are from these slaves. The Japanese pirates extracted from it need to be replenished.
Since they cannot guarantee their loyalty to the prince, let them use their lives to repay the kindness that the prince has shown them! "
Upon hearing this, Sengge immediately showed a big smile, smiled and turned around to leave.
"promise!"
Next, it's time for all the tribes to vent. As for the spoils, since Guan Shuai has no special requirements, just follow the usual practice on the grassland, and half of them will go to them, and half to the Khan!
Now the tribe's losses can be partially recovered.
