One day later, the coalition forces camped.
The fire was finally extinguished, but most of the food and grass in the five countries were burned, a third of the cattle and sheep were lost, and there was no fodder left for the horses and cattle and sheep.
"I can't fight this battle anymore. I want to go back to Beiqiang. I'll fight whoever you like!"
In the commander's tent, Tuoyehan, the younger brother of the leader of the Northern Qiang Kingdom, roared angrily.
The Beiqiang only brought a total of 70,000 cavalry this time, but as a result, the battle just ended, 70,000 cavalry ran away to death, and less than 20,000 returned to the camp, and even the leader of the country was arrested Go.
The king of the country is gone and Tatoye Khan is still there, but if the 20,000 cavalry are gone, the Northern Qiang will really be doomed!
The other four kings also had sad faces. They were also pursued by the Beiyan cavalry when they retreated, and they also suffered heavy losses.
"Toyehan, I can understand your mood, but look outside. The enemy's arrows have been aimed at us. Anyone who goes out now will die!" said Pu Guochang, the leader of the Gaobang Kingdom.
"Then what should we do? All the fodder has been burned, and the war horses will starve to death if they stay here!" Toyehan said angrily.
In fact, he also knew that what Pu Guochang said was true. Beiyan's 40,000 cavalry were watching eagerly outside the camp. He and more than 20,000 people were looking for death when they went out.
The commander's tent suddenly fell into deathly silence again. They would have been able to capture Shantong Pass in a day or two, but who knew that a group of Beiyan cavalry would appear halfway?
Moreover, the Beiyan cavalry were stronger than them in terms of weapons and horses, and their fighting style was even more disgusting!
They couldn't fight or run away. No one here had ever encountered such a situation. They couldn't come up with a good idea for a while.
At this moment, a man covered in blood ran in and jumped in front of Yelu Zhen, the leader of the Xianbei Kingdom.
"My lord, my lord, I thought I would never see you again!"
Yeluzhen was stunned for a moment. He grabbed the man's clothes and asked, "Badar, didn't I ask you to stay in Xianbei to protect my family? What are you doing here?"
"Master, it's gone, it's all gone." Badal cried bitterly.
"What's missing?" Yelvzhen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Your mother, your more than twenty wives, and by the way, your three sons were all killed too!"
"Ah!" Yeluzhen's eyes darkened and he almost fainted, "Who did this?"
"It's a cavalry unit wearing black armor. They swept through our entire Xianbei in less than a day. All 30,000 defenders were killed in battle, the men were killed, and all the women and children were captured by them!"
The men were killed and their daughters and children were captured and used as slaves. Everyone present had done this.
But none of them would have thought that this would happen to them.
Tuoyehan on the side couldn't help but sneer. Originally, he, the Beiqiang, was the worst sufferer in this battle, but he didn't expect Yelu to be even worse than the Beiqiang. The country was directly destroyed!
"Then the black-armored cavalry only kills men, why did they kill my mother and women?" Yelvzhen continued to ask.
Badar was stunned, lowered his head and said: "At that time, those black-armored cavalry wanted to arrest your family members. I wanted to scare them and said that your family members were members of the royal family. But instead of being afraid, those black-armored cavalry took your family members. All the family members were killed.”
"Pfft!" Yelvzhen spat out a mouthful of old blood. After a long time, you, the beast, betrayed them!
The other kings of the country were also amused. Yelu Zhen was also very ambitious and dared to hand over his family to such a weirdo.
"Since they are all dead, what are you still alive for?" Yelvzhen directly pulled out the sword from his waist and chopped off Badal's head.
I thought Badal's head would be chopped off by Yelvzhen, but this guy actually stepped back to avoid the blow.
Everyone was stunned, this Badal is really a weirdo!
"You fucking dare to hide?" Yelvzhen was almost mad and rushed towards Badal with a knife.
Naturally, Badal would not sit still and wait for death. He turned around and wanted to run away, but was kicked to the ground by Wan Yanlie, the leader of Fuyu Kingdom behind him. Wanyan Lie then stabbed Badal to death.
"Yeluzhen, I helped you get revenge, you don't need to thank me." Wanyanlie said with a smile.
Yeluzhen's face was livid. He should personally kill such a villain who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Wanyan Lie was clearly slapping him in the face.
Seeing that Yelu was really about to fall out, Pu Guochang quickly came up to smooth things over and said: "Okay, okay, let's discuss how to deal with the cavalry outside. Shantong Pass must be taken down, otherwise we will be at a huge loss."
"My family is gone, what a slap in the face! I will take my warriors back to save my people!" Yelvzhen said fiercely.
"Save? You don't even know the number of people on the other side or the direction in which they are leaving. How can you save them?" Wan Yanlie scolded.
"That's right. You must have more than 200,000 women and children in Xianbei. The other party can capture so many of your people. How can you beat them back with this small number of people?" Tuoyehan also said, obviously watching the fun. It's not a big deal.
Hearing this, Yelvzhen also fell silent. He brought 80,000 people this time, and after several days of hard fighting, there were still more than 60,000 left. If the other party can capture 200,000, they must have at least 100,000. Isn't that right? Can he deal with it?
In fact, what Yelu Zhen didn't know was that those women and children did not dare to resist after seeing the cruel methods of the Xuanjia Army. Xue Rengui only sent 10,000 people to escort all 200,000 slaves to Tianlang Mountain.
Xue Rengui, on the other hand, led the remaining 70,000 Xuanjia troops to continue sweeping the next country.
Seeing that Yelu Zhen had stopped talking, Pu Guochang quickly stepped forward and patted Yelu Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yelu Zhen, what's so good about your barren Xianbei? As long as we win Liaozhou, we can march into Huaizhou and even Dazhou." In the hinterland of Qian, are you still worried about having no place to live? If you want, you can build a new Xianbei in Daqian!"
Wanyan Lie also echoed: "Yes, we are nomadic people. Wherever we go, we are home! Shantong Pass is about to be destroyed, so stay!"
Yelvzhen hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to eat the pie.
At this point, he has no other choice. Going back will not help. It is better to take Shantong Pass with all his strength, otherwise he will really lose money to his grandma's family!
In fact, the other kings had the same idea as him. They had put so much effort into attacking Liaozhou this time, and it would be a big loss if they just gave up.
After all, they are all small countries and cannot compare with the Xiongnu, let alone Daqian.
For this war, they gambled on the fate of the country and spent decades of national strength. If they failed, they might have to live outside the Great Wall for the next hundred years.
As everyone knows, it was precisely because of their mentality that they missed the best opportunity to retreat, and it also led to the destruction of five countries!
