Judging from the casualty data of both sides, Xianbei's battle with Wei this time can be said to be a defeat.

The 70,000 Xianbei cavalry suffered more than 40,000 casualties, while the 70,000 soldiers and horses of Wei and the 40,000 infantry army did not lose much, only about 25,000 cavalry.

The loss of more than 20,000 cavalry, of which thousands of people, was still lost when Cao Zhang's army attacked Xianbei at the beginning, and when the leading army was broken, there were only more than 10,000 cavalry lost when the army was really fighting with Xianbei on a large scale.

Although Xianbei's losses were more than Wei's, Zhuge Zhan's heart was very satisfied.

Therefore, the current situation between Xianbei and Wei can be said to be a lose-lose situation.

Xianbei lost more than 40,000 warriors, Shan Yu Ke was even more killed in battle, needless to say, the vitality was greatly injured, and the new Shan Yu Sulie is an incompetent person, and he will definitely look forward to the Han in the future, it can be said that the future Su Lie is equivalent to the root of the Wei State for the Han Dynasty.

Wei's soldiers and horses only lost more than 20,000 people, which is not much on the surface, but it moved the foundation of Youzhou, because more than 20,000 people are cavalry.

And Youzhou's cavalry, only 30,000 people, now lost more than 20,000 people, only four or five thousand cavalry left, plus can not get the horse source, if the Han attack Youzhou from the grassland in the future, Youzhou will have no power to resist. Because relying only on the infantry army, it is impossible to compete with the Han Iron Cavalry.

It can be said that this time the strategy of the Han Dynasty and Kebi to balance the Wei State was a success.

And on the other side of the Yanmen battlefield.

After the craftsmen of the Han army, the soldiers worked day and night to build, and finally created nearly 100 return guns.

After the completion of the construction of the return cannon, Liu Chan immediately ordered to march into Mayi.

The Han army was still dozens of miles away from Mayi at the moment, so the return cannon it built was not assembled in advance, but disassembled and could be transported.

The Xianbei cavalry marched in front, and the Han army escorted the Huihui artillery behind.

Hou Luo Hou and the generals rode their horses, and a Hu general said to Hou Luo Hou: "Chief, what is the idea of this Han army, what is the use of making such a pile of wood lumps after more than ten days?" ”

Hou Luo Hou groaned: "I heard that the Han people are good at strange and skillful skills, there is a thing called Huihui Cannon, which can project boulders, and conquer cities and conquer unfavorable places, is this thing?" ”

General Yihu scratched his head and said, "This pile of wood lumps doesn't look like a mechanism that can shoot stones?" The Han people won't use us to deal with the Wei State, right? ”

Hearing this, Hou Luohou snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's not so simple for the Han people to take advantage of my Xianbei, wait until you get to Mayi first." ”

After a day's march, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses successfully arrived at the city of Mayi.

"The first city outside Yanmen Pass is really extraordinary." Looking at the tall Mayi City in front of him, Liu Chan couldn't help but admire.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Although the city of Mayi is strong, there is no fortification to guard against the return cannon, as long as the stone is sufficient, Mayi will not be able to support it for long." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Chan nodded and ordered: "Let Xianbei help guard it, and after our military camp is established, let Xianbei set up camp in case the Wei army comes to attack." ”

"No!" A general gave up his order and went to the Xianbei army to give orders.

On the head of the city of Mayi.

Qin Lang and the others will stand at the head of the city.

General Liang Xi muttered: "The Han army seems to have brought a large amount of wood, it seems that they cut down trees some time ago, and it was really to build a return cannon." The return cannon is infinitely powerful, why don't you lead the army to retreat to Yanmen Pass tonight? ”

Mayi is very different from Yanmen Pass.

The return cannon can take the Mayi, but it can't take the Yanmen Pass.

First of all, Mayi is a city, which is built of rammed earth, and it is located in the plain, extending in all directions, and the Han army can arrange back artillery to attack the city on all sides. Once the stone is launched, no matter how tall and tall Ma Yi is, he can't resist it.

And Yanmen Pass is different, Yanmen Pass is located on the mountains and mountains, the Guancheng line is very long, the Han army wants to attack with the return artillery, first, the return cannon has no place to stay, because the city is on the mountain, the return cannon can only be erected on the flat ground, although the range of the return cannon is long, but in the flat place can not shoot on the city.

Second, the city wall of Yanmen Pass is made of bricks and stones, even if the return cannon can reach Yanmen Pass, it can not easily break through Yanmen Pass.

Therefore, Yanmen Pass was not afraid of returning artillery, so Liang Xicai proposed to temporarily retreat to Yanmen Pass.

"Return to the gun?" Qin Lang's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't make up his mind in his heart. He had only heard of the power of the return cannon, but he had not seen it with his own eyes.

After thinking about it, Qin Lang muttered: "Although the return cannon is powerful, I also have the materials to repair the city in the city, and the Mayi city is tall and strong, so it should be able to hold out for a while under the attack of the return artillery."

At the beginning of last month, General Tian Yu was planning to deal with Kebineng, and now he must have acted according to the plan, as long as Kebineng is defeated, Hou Luohou will definitely retreat, and when the Shu army is alone, it will have to retreat.

As long as we hold on for a few days, the news of Kebineng's defeat will come, and there is no need to give up the important town of Mayi. ”

"I hope so!" Liang Xi nodded.

A general proposed: "According to legend, the power of the return cannon is very great, if the Shu army attacks with the return artillery, whether it can hold it or not is still two words."

Since it is very likely that General Tian Yu has defeated Kebineng at this moment, the news will come soon. Let's take the initiative, now the Shu army is camping, if we can win a small victory, we can delay for a while. ”

Qin Lang shook his head and said: "The Shu army is currently camping and putting the Marquis of Tho Luo on guard, if we take the initiative to attack, I am afraid that we will not be able to please us." ”

Although there were also 60,000 soldiers and horses in the city of Mayi, Qin Lang did not dare to engage the Han army.

Although there are many soldiers and horses in this city, there are 40,000 of them, all of whom are cavalry of Budugen, and their combat effectiveness is similar to that of Xianbei, but they cannot be compared with the cavalry of the Han army. And the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses, mostly infantry troops, not many cavalry, not much use in fighting with cavalry.

Although the Han army is now encamped, it has put Xianbei on guard, and if it goes out of the city to fight, the Han army can also give up camping and come out to help. If the 30,000 cavalry of the Han army are on the same page, Kebineng's cavalry is really not enough for the Han army to fight.

After the Han army and Xianbei were all encamped, it was already dark.

That night, Liu Chan invited Hou Luohou to the camp again.

"I don't know what His Majesty summoned me to come down for?"

Liu Chan said to Hou Luohou: "During this time, I have ordered someone to build a hundred return cannons, presumably you should know the power of the return cannons, right?" ”

Hou Luo Hou was puzzled: "Huihui cannon, isn't the pile of wooden lumps that His Majesty escorted over the Huihui cannon?" ”
