Sure enough, an hour later, everyone was still kneeling in place, no one moved, and of course no one left. In fact, some people have moved the idea of leaving the plateau, but the plateau has already said that they will not give them anything, so in the vast grassland, there is only a dead end. Moreover, their tribes have been destroyed by the Huns, and if they leave like this, there is no way to go but to stay here.

Gao Yuan then asked Ling Feng to give an order, let them all get up, and once again told them about the military discipline of the Wu'an army, and at the same time announced to them that they would all obey Jiang Huanwu's command in the future, and when they returned to Daijun, they would be given armor, weapons, horses, and so on.

In the fight just now, everyone also saw very clearly that Jiang Huanwu's force was not under the plateau, as long as it touched his fist, all of them were broken and broken. Therefore, many people are constantly reminding themselves in their hearts that they should be more peaceful in the future and not commit any more crimes. If it falls into his hands, it's not fun.

Then Gao Yuan ordered Ling Feng to take them to rest, and asked someone from the White Spirit Clan to treat them. However, the healing ability of the Bai Ling clan is not able to cure all diseases, generally speaking, the healing of flesh injuries is the best, followed by internal injuries and bone demolition, and the treatment effect of fever, headache and other diseases is very average. As for the serious disease, the healing ability of the Bai Ling clan did not have much effect.

Therefore, those injured in the fight can be healed quickly, and those who are dismantled can only wait with peace of mind. But after this time, these people are indeed much more honest, and no one dares to complain.

And so the night passed. By the next day, the two armies outside had also returned, bringing back a large number of people, livestock, supplies, and so on. But at the same time, it also brought news to the plateau, it turned out that after Tousu escaped from the camp, he was recruiting the Huns scattered everywhere to prepare to launch a counterattack against the Wu'an army.

After hearing this, Gao Yuan didn't pay much attention to it, because Gao Yuan was not afraid that the Huns would gather to launch a counterattack on him, although the Huns were indeed scattered everywhere now, but after all, they were killed and injured by the Wu'an Army, so even if they concentrated other Huns, their strength would be greatly dismantled. On the contrary, the plateau also welcomed the Xiongnu to concentrate their personnel, so that it would be convenient for them to deal a heavy blow to the Xiongnu at one time.

The most worrying thing about the plateau is that the Xiongnu will concentrate the men and horses, but they will not move, but wait until they withdraw their troops, and constantly launch a disturbing attack on themselves, so that they are tired and busy coping, and wait until they are sleepy and tired, and then launch a comprehensive attack on themselves.

Therefore, Gao Yuan also ordered the whole army to rest well in the camp, and only sent a small force of troops out of the camp every day to find the camps of other Xiongnu, and closely watched the movements of the Xiongnu army that had been assembled at the head. At the same time, the camp counted the captive population and livestock, and packed the captured materials into trucks in preparation for the return to Daishi.

At this time, the captured Xiongnu** was about 20,000, mostly Xiongnu women and children under the age of fifteen, while there were only two or three thousand young men, if according to the normal proportion, among the 20,000 people, there should be five or six thousand young men. The livestock of horses, cattle and sheep has reached nearly one million, of course, most of them are sheep, but horses and cattle have also reached tens of thousands. Other materials seized were mainly animal skins, but there were also a lot of gold, silver and jade, and a small amount of grain. However, the casualties of the Wu'an army itself were not many, with only more than 200 soldiers killed and more than 100 wounded.

The Wu'an army stayed in the camp for seven days, killing cattle and sheep every day, and not only did the fatigue of the long journey recover, but also the wounded soldiers basically recovered.

And at this moment, the head beard gathered the other Huns and killed them again. Gao Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and the Huns really concentrated their troops and attacked them back. did not use the tactics of attacking along the way, in fact, the Wu'an army has been living in the Wuliang Suhai camp, just waiting for the arrival of the Hun army. Therefore, Gao Yuan immediately ordered that only 3,000 soldiers should stay in the camp to guard the prisoners, while the rest of the soldiers were all dispatched to meet the Xiongnu army.

In fact, Zhao Xin also reminded him that he should not concentrate the Xiongnu army like this and confront the Wu'an army head-on, but should stand still, wait for the Wu'an army to withdraw, and then attack along the way, waiting for the opportunity to defeat the Wu'an army.

Tousu also knew that Zhao Xin's construction was correct, but in the end, he still led the Xiongnu army to launch an attack on Wuliang Suhai, preparing to fight head-on with the Wu'an army, and there was indeed no choice.

After fleeing from the camp in Wuliang Suhai, Tousu immediately sent people to various places to recruit the Huns, and collected the remnants of the Longlong army, and after three or four days, he gathered 50,000 or 60,000 people, but the number of people gathered a lot, but there was little grain and livestock left, because most of the Huns threw down their grain and livestock, and only a few Huns who were not plundered by the Wu'an army had grain and livestock, but now all the cattle and sheep are only more than 200,000 heads, and the grain is only more than 30,000 stones, and these livestock grain, It's only about enough for the whole army to support about a month. Therefore, Wu Anjun can wait patiently on the shore of Wuliangsu Sea, but Tousu can't wait.

And now it is about to enter December, the cold winter is coming, such a little livestock and food, it is not this winter at all, now the head must only have two choices, one is to immediately launch a counterattack to the Wu'an army, defeat the Wu'an army, and recapture the camp and grain and livestock in Wuliang Suhai, in order to survive the winter; The other was to immediately lead the remaining Huns back to the north and return to the main camp of the Huns.

But at the beginning, Tousu led more than 100,000 Hun people, more than 100,000 horses, and more than 1 million cattle and sheep to the south, and now there are only 50,000 or 60,000 people left, and more than 200,000 cattle and sheep have returned to the north.

Therefore, the north still has no choice, so it can only launch an attack on Wuliang Suhai, try its best to defeat the Wu'an army, and completely turn defeat into victory, even if it is a heavy price, it will not hesitate. Of course, if this battle is lost again, then the head beard will lose all the capital, and there will be no capital to turn over. And Tousu is also prepared for this, if the counterattack on Wuliang Suhai fails, then he will no longer be the right virtuous king, and he will honestly squat on the shore of the North Sea to herd sheep for the rest of his life.

It was precisely because this battle was so important that the head beard also concentrated all the forces at his disposal, and all those who could ride on horses and draw bows, whether men, women, or children, were all incorporated into the army, and at once there were more than 45,000 troops. Nearly 20,000 of them are women, while only 15,000 are young men. Of course, this fifteen thousand young and middle-aged men are also the main force of the head beard this time.

And Zhao Xin persuaded Tousu a few words at the beginning, but after listening to Tousu's explanation of the current situation, Zhao Xin had no choice, after all, the current shape is stronger than people, and no matter how good the tactics are, if they don't conform to the grand strategy, they can't be implemented, so they don't say anything.

After returning from the big tent of the head beard, Zhao Xin also explained the decision of the head beard and the current situation to Shui Xinyue and the others in detail. And after listening to Zhao Xin's speech, everyone was silent, it seems that this battle must be fought.

After a long while, Shui Xinyue said, "What do you think is the chance of winning this battle?" ”

Zhao Xindao: "According to the subordinates, there should be five or five." ”

Cao Wushu said: "No, the winning rate of the head beard is only 30% at most." ”

Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment, and said: "It won't be so little, this time the Wu'an army is only about 30,000 people, after the early war, it is impossible to have no casualties, and the long journey, the division veterans are tired, and now the Huns have nearly 50,000 people, the disparity between the numbers is huge, and it is to wait for work, and this battle must be won, it is exactly what the art of war says, put it to death and then live, how can it be only thirty percent?" ”

Cao Wuxian shook his head and said: "The soldiers are fine but not many, although the Wu'an army is only 30,000, it is an old army left by Li Mu, experienced in a hundred battles, and is called elite; Although the men and horses of the Hun army were uneven, they were uneven, and it was difficult to be the enemy of the Wu'an army. Although the Wu'an army is a long journey, but has been in the Wuliangsu sea for six or seven days to recuperate, tired and early to recover, as for the head must be victorious, put the place of death and rebirth, this point also applies to the Wu'an army, so the two sides are only half a catty and eight taels, not enough to count the advantage of the Hun army; What's more, Gao Yuan is proficient in the art of war, has been in battle for a long time, and is not under Li Mu, how can the head beard be compared. I said that the Huns only had a three-percent victory rate, but in fact, they still exaggerated the Huns, and if I want to say, the Huns will definitely lose this battle. ”

Zhao Xin didn't answer right after hearing this, after all, he was not familiar with military affairs, and when he divided the strength of the two sides, he had too many personal biases, and he didn't really stand on a neutral position. And Cao Wushu is the main general of the Nanyang Army, proficient in the art of war, experienced in battle, and has a deep study of the plateau, his division is of course much more reasonable than Zhao Xin.

After hearing this, Shui Xinyue nodded and said, "In this way, the chance of victory for Toushu is not great." ”

Cao Wuxian said: "Yes, unless there are 3,000 Nanyang troops going north, and this battle is commanded by me, this is only five or five." ”

Shui Xinyue said: "Okay, since the defeat of the Huns has been decided, then we are still the same old routine, don't get involved in it, anyway, everything that should be said has been said." It's just that when the Huns were defeated, they still tried to save the head mustache, regardless of whether he should be the right sage king in the future, but he is now the right sage king, so after we saved him, we can borrow his way to break into the Huns, this time into the grassland, it can be regarded as a gain. ”
