Li Guang and Liu Deng were full of worries, but the soldiers and civilians in the city were now in endless joy.
It was clear that the Huns were the ones taking the initiative to attack, but now they suffered heavy casualties. If they had not stopped their losses in time, I am afraid that there would have been even more casualties at this time.
So far, the 20,000 Han troops have only suffered less than a thousand casualties, and most of them were shot in the legs by arrows. Although they have difficulty moving, there are still many people who survived.
In any case, the battle was finally won today, and now was the time to compete in morale. Li Guang simply relaxed the ban and ordered the Huotou Army to kill cattle and sheep to prepare for labor.
The sky finally dawned, and there was constant singing and laughter in the Han army camp. Now even the civilians didn't take the Huns seriously.
In the Huns' military camp, Yu Dan's face was frighteningly gloomy, and the generals below also had sad faces.
The gap in equipment was so great that even as the active attacking party, the Huns' loss this time was unacceptable to them.
Although the three armies have now reached the Han army's camp, the Han army's city is right in front of them.
It was only five hundred steps away from them, but they couldn't do anything about this city.
Yu Dan was more anxious than anyone else. He only had one day, and the Aries King would come and take away his men early the day after tomorrow.
At that time, what can he do with the twenty or thirty thousand people left in his hands?
"You personally bring people to supervise me. Before sunrise tomorrow, I will see fifty aerial ladders! Ten rushing vehicles! Also, find someone to help me figure out what the huge noise was last night. thing!"
After his mood finally calmed down, Yu Dan gritted his teeth and said to Mori.
"promise!"
Of course, Mori also knew that Yu Dan was running out of time. If they couldn't capture the city tomorrow, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
Although it is important to make siege equipment quickly, the cause of the huge noise last night also needs to be found out as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if that thing appears again next time, I am afraid that even the supervising team will not be able to suppress the Huns who are bent on escaping.
Although I knew that the thing must have been made by the Han army, how did they do it? Even Yu Dan was confused.
In the Yinshan Mountains, Long Xiao and Wang Chong together had nearly 6,000 people, groping forward cautiously.
"Two generals, traces of the Huns were found in the room ahead! It's just that their movements are a bit strange. They don't seem to be looking for us, but are cutting down trees!"
When Long Xiao and Wang Chong were advancing, a scout suddenly came to report.
"Chopping down trees? What are you doing cutting down trees?"
Long Xiao glanced at Wang Chong with some confusion, and by chance, Wang Chong also turned to look at him.
"Approximately how many of them are there? Have they discovered us?"
Wang Chong frowned and asked.
"The number seems to be large, probably thousands of people! They were just busy cutting down trees, and they didn't even release the scouts, and our people didn't alert them!"
Now, even Wang Chong became confused.
You must know that the huge Yinshan Mountains have towering ancient trees. After all, the Huns are not good at making equipment, so under normal circumstances, the Huns would not do such a thing. After all, for the Huns, dried cow dung is a good fuel.
There is no need to waste any energy coming here to chop down trees!
"Could they be making siege equipment?"
After thinking for a moment, Wang Chong asked hesitantly.
"I'm afraid even if I miss, I'm not far off!"
After being reminded by Wang Chong, Long Xiao also realized that the Huns cut down trees on such a large scale and probably had no other purpose besides making siege equipment.
The only city within a hundred miles is the one Liu Deng and the others are building!
Now Long Xiao was really worried. Although the Shenwu Army was said to have superior combat power, they were all infantry after all.
If anything happens to Liu Deng, he will die.
"Captain Long, don't worry. The Huns themselves are not good at attacking cities. Now that they are rushing to make siege equipment on a large scale, it means that their attacks are not going well now. I think it is better to follow the example!"
Wang Chong's eyes slowly lit up and he said thoughtfully.
"You mean, we follow them?"
Long Xiao seemed to understand what he meant and asked tentatively.
"The Huns themselves are not good at siege. Seeing how many siege equipment they have rushed to make, they won't be able to climb the ladder on horseback, right?"
Wang Chong chuckled strangely, and Long Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
The Huns probably never dreamed that the two of them would dare to lead the team and touch it back again.
If only we had to wait until the Huns launched their army aggressively and began to attack the city.
They attacked from behind and directly captured the Huns' camp! Then their fun will be great...
Besides, even if the sneak attack fails, the Huns can be scared to death just by being scared.
Although they only have a few thousand people in their hands, but because of their calculations and lack of care, the chance of success is really high if they choose the time when the battle between the two sides is in full swing!
"Just do it!"
Long Xiao gritted his teeth and then responded directly.
"Send a few smarter brothers to keep an eye on them. Let me rest the rest of them on the spot. Watch all the horses and put on the bits. No one is allowed to make a sound!"
Since Long Xiao also agreed, Wang Chong naturally stopped being polite and simply ordered his soldiers to start preparations.
For Wang Chong, he is the weaker party after all. This is the first formal contact between the two parties. If he can bring some meeting gifts, no matter what choice they make next, they can always be able to negotiate. Gain a little upper hand.
Although they are now located in the Yinshan Mountains, with towering ancient trees, they are a little unsure of their direction when walking through the woods.
However, since the Huns were logging nearby, this means that they should not be far from the Han army's camp.
But it was still daytime after all, so everything had to wait until dark before taking action.
After sending out the scouts, the cavalry team of thousands of people fell into dormancy again.
But everyone's eyes were flashing with excitement, especially the cavalrymen under Long Xiao's command. They had just done this stealing camp once before.
If they succeed in stealing the camp again this time, the Huns' face will be completely thrown into the ring by them...
