In order to boost morale and win this battle of wills, the generals of both sides personally went to the front line.
In Houtu County, all the county magistrates and county captains died in the battle.
The bloody battle continued until the next morning. Seeing that there was no hope of attacking the city, the Huns finally stopped their crazy attack.
This battle was the most difficult battle since the Xiongnu came to the city. Both sides fought for their lives, and the final victory belonged to Wei Qing.
But his losses were also extremely heavy. He was also injured in many places on his body.
"..."
The brutality of this battle left Submac with lingering fear, and he did not launch a large-scale attack in the next few days.
The soldiers in Houtu County gradually grew up and adapted to the war after experiencing the cruel test of war.
Facts have proved that Submark's laxity at this time was a huge mistake.
Because the world-famous crossbow infantry is about to be formed at this moment.
Half a month later, the Huns still had not captured this small earth county.
The entire army of three squadrons was wiped out and five squadrons were damaged, which made Submark behind him completely anxious.
The number of people and horses on the grassland is a reflection of the strength of a tribe, and it is Submark's greatest reliance in the Huns' power system.
However, he has already abandoned more than two thousand corpses of prairie warriors under this damn little soil county.
Behind Submark, several captains stared with small eyes, and no one dared to say anything more.
If anyone dares to hum or sigh at this moment, the furious Mr. Youdanghu will ruthlessly let this guy's troops rush to the front and act as a death squad.
"What's wrong? Are the men in our prairie afraid of Han Chinese and local miscellaneous troops?"
Submark's heart was bleeding. He threw the riding crop in his hand, which symbolized authority, heavily to the ground angrily, and glanced at the Hun leaders who lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
Submark's gaze swept across the area like a sharp blade. The Huns who were caught in the gaze lowered their heads in unison. No one wanted to waste precious troops in this small county.
Twenty days later, the Huns who were trapped in Male became extremely restless and restless like hungry wolves who could not find food.
As more and more people die, the Huns will go crazy.
Facing this city wall that was not too tall, but looked like a chasm, they had already wasted too much time, as well as the lives of their compatriots.
Submark was in a panic. He used all means to attack the city, but the thick-soil county seat was right in front of him, but he couldn't get in.
At this moment, Submark fell into despair.
What kind of place is this? When can I get in?
According to King Youxian's plan, King Youxian personally led the main force of 60,000 Xiongnu cavalry, entered Daijun first, followed the northward route, and then attacked "Hongyang City".
Other Huns cavalry, led by various tribes, penetrated into the hinterland of Daijun along the edge of the winding and difficult-to-travel mountain range, like an iron net, surrounding the entire Daijun area.
This is a plan to draw a large encirclement from west to east starting from Bianyi City, preparing to swallow up the entire Dai County.
This plan is too arrogant, but it has the possibility of success.
The Huns living on the grassland are like a pack of hungry wolves, cunning and ferocious.
Their multi-line mixed attack this time, every step of the plan was rigorous and meticulous, with almost no loopholes. Every attack hit the Han army's seven inches.
However, Submark's link was revealed on Wei Qing's side.
Submark's group of more than 5,000 people is actually quite important in the plan to attack Daijun.
Because the task of Submark's partial army is to bypass and cut off.
However, now, because of a small county town, all plans have been interrupted.
After experiencing the heroic spirit of riding horses to conquer the world, they have never been so embarrassed and tired.
Facing this city wall that was not too tall, they had already lost too many things.
They wanted to rush to the city and hit the damn earth wall with their heads.
But after cursing and getting angry, they found that they were still... powerless.
The army has begun to waver because their spirit has been lost.
Submark rode on his horse and looked at Houtu County from a distance. This was his last look.
He glanced at the outline of the thick-earth county town.
That killing intent was fixed at this moment, but then, the killing intent dissipated. Submark turned the horse's head, facing Qianhu behind him, and said: "Retreat!"
When the thousands of households heard this, their faces became miserable.
retreat……
Three thousand corpses were left behind, a large number of good horses were consumed, and in the end they retreated with nothing in sight...
The battle damage ratio exceeded 60%, but the result was like this...
Seeing his unmoved subordinates, Submark raised his head and shouted loudly again: "Retreat!"
The herald ran back and forth among the cavalry regiments, conveying the order to retreat.
After receiving the order, these Huns did not know whether to be relieved or sad and angry, but in the end they had to leave here.
This side of Houtu County.
"Brother Wei...Brother Wei..."
County magistrate Sun Bin rushed to Wei Qing crazily.
When Wei Qing saw his excited look, his eyes sparkled, but his face didn't show it. He was silent for a long time before saying, "What's the matter?"
This calmness and composure are really calm.
Sun Bin held Wei Qing's hand and said with emotion: "The Huns, retreat...retreat..."
"It's so pitiful that the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in our Houtu County...were saved...we were saved..."
As he spoke, his eyes began to turn red, his throat became choked, and his subsequent words were even more ambiguous.
"God bless,... we... survived... survived."
Other soldiers and civilians on the earth wall were also excited and cried with joy. They raised their weapons and cheered loudly: "We won, we won, the Huns have withdrawn."
After expressing their joy, the soldiers and civilians on the earth city wall looked at Wei Qing gratefully.
If he hadn't been calm and composed, guarding the city calmly, going to the front line personally, and encouraging the three armies, I'm afraid everyone would have been dead by now.
Looking at his calm look now, everyone is filled with great emotion.
He is so calm, calm, and resourceful, and even at this time, he is still so steady. He is really very human.
"Yes, the Huns withdrew."
Wei Qing muttered to himself as he looked at the piles of corpses above and below the city.
"…………"
Here in Houtu County, lives were saved because of Wei Qing, a great general of the time.
However, people in other places are not so lucky.
"..."
The Huns cavalry sacked Taicheng, Suixian, Hunyuan and other 20 or 30 cities.
