It should be said that the top and bottom of the Xiongnu army did place great hopes on this attack, firstly, it was a fresh force that went into battle, and the number exceeded 6,000 people, which was more than the previous two attacks; The second is that everyone thinks that the defense line of the Dai Army has now reached the limit, and only the last step is left to break through the defense line of the Dai Army.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, because the Hun army, which launched an attack on the defense line of the Dai army for the third time, was far inferior to the first two groups of Xiongnu troops in terms of momentum and strength. Fortunately, it was Maudun who arranged the supervision team, and after killing more than ten deserters in a row, he finally stopped the defeat of the Hun army.

In the case of hopeless retreat, the Hun army was able to cheer up and launched another attack on the defense line of the Dai army, although this time the strength of the Hun army was slightly better, and finally broke through the trench and killed in front of the defense line of the Dai army. However, under the stubborn defense of the Dai Army, let alone breaking through the defense line of the Dai Army and entering the camp of the Dai Army, not even a gap was opened.

On personal combat effectiveness, the Hun soldiers are all strong warriors, but as a whole army, the organizational level of the Hun army is not high, plus the Hun soldiers are basically composed of ordinary herdsmen, not professional, semi-professional soldiers, although everyone is brave and good at fighting, but the cohesion of the whole army is not strong, if it is a tailwind war, of course, it is courageous, and when it is related to the life and death of the tribe in the battle of Guan Jian, it is also the same hatred, but in the battlefield into adversity, or under the long-term attack, when the casualties are heavy, Naturally, the momentum is not high.

In the process of the first two attacks, these Hun soldiers can see clearly, watching the first two groups of companions in front of the defense line of the Dai army to break their heads and bleed, countless casualties, the entire battlefield is almost full of Hun corpses, and most of the soldiers who retreated are injured, no matter who can be indifferent, everyone knows that the opponent encountered this time is not provoked. And this battle is not a battle to defend one's homeland and relatives, it is just a battle to plunder people and property, even if you break through the position and defeat the enemy, the spoils of war are divided among the tribal chiefs and magnates, and there are very few of them who have their turn.

Although before the war, Mao Dun promised a heavy reward, at the beginning, it did arouse the fighting spirit of many Hun soldiers, but with the progress of the war, except for a very small number of Hun soldiers, the vast majority of Hun soldiers basically did not have any expectations for this heavy reward, because although the heavy reward is good, there is still a life to enjoy, and there is only one person who can get this heavy reward, but don't get the heavy reward, but put your own life on the line, you still have parents, wives and children, children in the tribe, if you die on the battlefield, the rest of the family is sad, so naturally no one is willing to work hard. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a supervising team in the rear of the Huns, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago, and although under the supervision of the supervising team, the Xiongnu army did not dare to retreat, but it did not attack with all its might like the previous two groups of troops, but tried their best to perfunctory things on the battlefield, just to save their lives.

However, although the Xiongnu army was cautious, the army would not be polite, all kinds of bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, stones, javelins, all poured into the Xiongnu army, and the Hun soldiers were also killed and wounded, and did not reduce casualties because of cowardice.

After the first two defeats, the fighting spirit of the Hun army has been greatly weakened, if you lead the army out of the camp at this time, launch a counterattack, you can easily defeat the Hun army and achieve a victory.

However, what the plateau needs now is not an ordinary victory, but to completely defeat the Xiongnu army, so that the Xiongnu army is unable to fight again, only in this way, in the remaining migration of the Bailing brigade, will not be threatened by the Xiongnu army.

Now the warriors of the Dai Army and the White Spirit Clan are obviously not ready for the final battle. Therefore, attacking now, even if it defeats the Xiongnu army, it is not enough to achieve a complete victory, and it may be possible to force the Xiongnu army to retreat, but the Huns can still retain considerable strength, and they can still attack the Bailing tribe's brigade at any time on the way, which is also the most worrying thing on the plateau.

Therefore, Gao Yuan did not order the army to attack, just continue to hold the position and defensive line, anyway, now the morale of the Xiongnu army has been greatly affected, and the Dai army is not far from the final victory.

In the Xiongnu array on the opposite side, the faces of Mao Dun and the tribal leaders were not very good-looking, because everyone could see that the third group of attacking troops, which had been pinned on by everyone, had obviously failed everyone's expectations. Fu Gongyan was even more annoyed, he was not interested in the wealth of the population, but the goal was far more ambitious than the wealth of the population, so he was quite dissatisfied with the appearance of the third group of attacking Xiongnu troops, and of course he could see that the third group of attacking troops was completely different from the armies of the first two battles in terms of spirit.

This also made Fu Gongyan very incomprehensible, why the same Xiongnu army, the first two armies could fight with momentum and everyone was brave, but the third batch of troops was like this. Because Fu Gongyan was not a professional soldier in the end, and lacked actual combat experience, he did not know that the cause of the current situation was actually directly related to the previous two attacks, and it was precisely because the first two attacks were fruitless and suffered heavy losses that the morale of the third group of attacking troops was low and their fighting spirit was completely lost. As a result, I can only think about it.

Fu Gongyan's first thought was whether it was because the leaders of the tribes deliberately couldn't get along with him? Deliberately send weaker soldiers, or tell them not to fight hard before going into battle.

However, Fu Gongyan thought about it carefully and felt that this possibility was not great, because the goal of the tribal leaders was actually the same as himself, that is, to break through the defense line of the Dai army and obtain the spoils of war, and he would not compete with the tribal leaders for the spoils, and from the gathering of the army to the present, the Xiongnu army had paid a total of nearly 15,000 casualties for this, and now that the victory was in sight, it was impossible for the tribal leaders to be indifferent to this, so there was no reason to deliberately slack off the war in order to dismantle their own platform.

If you don't deliberately dismantle your own platform, then for what? Fu Gongyan thinks that there is only one possibility, that is, the elite army of the Xiongnu who fought in the first two battles, and the second-rate army of the Xiongnu who fought the third time, only in this way can it be explained why this attack is very different from the previous two.

There are still about 4,000 Xiongnu soldiers who retreated from the first two attacks, and about 3,000 soldiers who can fight again, so Fu Gongyan believes that the only way to put these 3,000 people into the battlefield is to use the brave fighting spirit of these 3,000 people to inspire other soldiers and boost their morale.

The other tribal leaders had no objection to Fu Gongyan's suggestion, after all, at this time, every tribal leader hoped to be able to immediately break through the defense line of the Dai army and achieve victory.

So Maudun immediately ordered the 3,000 soldiers who had participated in the first two attacks to be thrown into battle again, and another 2,000 men from his own direct army were assigned to join the battle.

Of course, in order to boost the morale of the people, Maudun also doubled his reward, and the first Hun soldier to break through the defense line of the Dai army would receive a reward of 100 horses, 1,000 sheep, 50 pieces of cloth, and 500 slaves.

And the reward is not only one person, in addition to the first Hun soldier who breaks through the defense line of the Dai army can get such a heavy reward, the last ten Hun soldiers who break through the defense line of the Dai army will also be rewarded with twenty horses, two hundred sheep, ten pieces of cloth, and fifty slaves. Although such a reward is not as generous as the reward for the first to break through the defense line of the Dai Army, and can establish a small tribe, it is enough for the family of an ordinary Xiongnu herdsman to live a very rich life.

Such a heavy reward adds up, it is a tribal leader, and it is also a heavy wealth, so the tribal leaders can't help but be moved, it seems that in order to win, Mao Dun really spared no expense.

After all, Maudun's knowledge is one line higher than that of other clan leaders, and for his clan leaders, this time the battle is just for themselves, even if they lose, except for the loss of some warriors, there will be no other losses, and they will still be their own patriarch when they return to the tribe. But for Mao Dun, this time it was Guan Jian's battle to consolidate Shan Yu's position.

Because Mao Dun's Shan Yu position was snatched from his father Tou Man Shan Yu, the time was not long, and his prestige among the Xiongnu tribes was not high, and many tribes did not follow Mao Dun's orders to send troops this time, so Mao Dun urgently needed a victory and plundered enough population wealth to consolidate his Shan Yu's position. And the migration brigade that attacked the Bailing clan was in line with the requirements of Maodun, the difficulty of this battle was not great, and it was not difficult to win, and a large amount of population wealth could be obtained.

But Mao Dun didn't expect that he thought that he would win a stable battle, but the war has been carried out so far, the Hun army has suffered nearly 15,000 casualties, which is not a small loss, and at the same time, it also forced Mao Dun to a dead end, because it is necessary to win this battle and capture a large number of people and wealth of the Bailing tribe, only in this way can the leaders of the tribes who go with them be satisfied, and the leaders of other tribes who do not go with them can also be convinced. And if the first battle is lost, his already low prestige in the Xiongnu tribe will be completely wiped out, and it will definitely be impossible to keep Shan Yu's position, and Shan Yu, who is out of position, has only one end, that is, death.

Of course, Mao Dun did not want to die, and he wanted to keep his position, and even wanted to conquer the entire steppe and establish a huge and vast Xiongnu Empire, so Mao Dun promised heavy rewards at any cost to encourage the Xiongnu soldiers to fight bravely and achieve victory.

So under the severe pressure of Mao Dun, the fourth group of attacking Xiongnu troops finally set out and threw themselves into the battlefield again.
