When the Hun soldiers who escorted the livestock and supplies fled back to the Hun camp, it was already evening, and the sky had completely darkened, and the atmosphere in the camp was very depressing, and the mental state of the Hun soldiers was very poor.

On the one hand, this is because after almost a day of fighting, the Hun soldiers are indeed very tired; On the other hand, they failed to break through the defense line of the Dai army for two consecutive days, and suffered heavy losses, which greatly affected the morale of the Xiongnu soldiers, and most of the soldiers had already retreated.

When on the battlefield, Fu Gongyan, Mao Dun and the tribal leaders split, some tribal leaders ignored Mao Dun's orders, and ordered the withdrawal of their own troops, and finally Fu Gongyan and Mao Dun could no longer support, so they had to order the other Xiongnu troops to retreat to the camp.

Counting the losses of the Xiongnu army, the number of Hun soldiers who fought in today's battle exceeded 16,000, and the number of dead reached more than 7,500, and more than 5,200 people were wounded.

Although the Xiongnu still had nearly 90,000 troops, such losses not only greatly damaged the morale of the Xiongnu army, but also made most of the tribal leaders lose confidence in this attack on the defense line of the Dai army, believing that it was impossible for the Xiongnu army to break through the defense line of the Dai army, and if they continued to attack, they could only lose their troops in vain, so they advocated withdrawing their troops.

Fu Gongyan and Mao Dun had to persist in this battle for their own reasons, so they were naturally reluctant to withdraw their troops, and they also tried their best to persuade other tribal leaders to stay as well.

But this time it was useless for the two to say anything, because the situation of the war was in front of them, and the two days of fighting failed to break through the defense line of the Dai army, and each tribe lost a large number of soldiers, and the leaders of each tribe were realistic people, of course they didn't want to fight anymore, and continued to lose, although Fu Gongyan could argue well, but it was not possible to convince these tribal leaders with a few empty sentences.

Yongqi is Keban and Zhuo Ge, the two largest tribes in the war, the army sent is second only to Mao Dun, and the loss of troops is also the most, at this time, of course, it is also the most resolute person who insists on withdrawing, so no matter how Mao Dun and Fu Gongyan repeatedly persuad, and made all kinds of promises, and also promised the two tribes a lot of favorable conditions, such as promising to win after the victory, give more victories to the two tribes, and after the battle, improve the status of the two tribes in the Xiongnu, but the two are not moved, still insist on withdrawing the army.

At the beginning, Fu Gongyan was still calm, trying to understand the reason, move with affection, and induce him to benefit, and also wanted to use words like "just add more strength, as long as you launch another attack, you can break through the defense line of the Dai Army", hoping to fool the two leaders, but Keban and Zhuo Ge are determined to withdraw the army, and they will not enter, no matter what Fu Gongyan says, they will not let go, and under the leadership of these two patriarchs, other tribal leaders have also joined in, and they have also insisted on withdrawing the army, resolutely not compromising.

And the cultural level of the Xiongnu is not high, even the tribal leaders have not received any good education, and of course they will not speak so politely. And Fu Gongyan naturally couldn't bear this breath, and made a counterattack, but the result could only be that the more he talked, the more stiff he became, and the more he said that the smell of gunpowder became heavier.

Ke Ban said: "Mr. Shan Yu and Mr. Fugong, no matter what you say, I will never send troops again anyway, if you are still willing to attack the defense line of the Dai Army, then whatever you want, I don't want my soldiers to suffer any more losses." ”

Fu Gongyan said: "Patriarch Keban, as well as the patriarchs, you have to think clearly, if you don't send troops, then after we break through the defense line of the Dai army, the spoils will not be yours." ”

Drogo snorted and said, "No, no, I won't send troops anyway, if you can break through the defense line of the Dai Army, the spoils will all belong to you, but I think you can break through the defense line of the Dai Army?" Stop dreaming. ”

Fu Gongyan suddenly became angry, and said sharply: Are you still considered a Hun? Is he still a brave steppe warrior? It's just a group of cowards, but after such a little setback, they don't dare to fight anymore, so they are ready to escape. ”

When Ke Ban heard this, he was naturally furious, and said: "In the two days of fighting, all our soldiers fought in front and sent them to death, and what did you do, you can only dare to hide behind, and kindly say that we are cowards." ”

Drogo also said: "Yes, in the past two days of fighting, we not only failed to break through the defense line of the Dai Army, but also lost a large number of troops, not because our soldiers did not work hard, but because the offensive plan you designed did not work at all, and the current result was completely your fault, we should not have believed you from the beginning, and now you still want to lie to us and continue to attack the Dai Army, so that we will continue to lose men and horses, so we will never listen to you again."

Hearing Zhuo Ge question his own plan, Fu Gongyan only felt that his muscles jumped, and said sharply: "The battle plan I designed is not wrong at all, but your short-sightedness, if you listened to my arrangement yesterday and attacked the Dai Army continuously, without giving the Dai Army any respite, we would have already broken through the defense line of the Dai Army, and today it is the same, we have already broken through the gap in the Dai Army's defense line, as long as you add a little more force, you can break through the defense line of the Dai Army, but you didn't listen to me, so you led the army to lose the army and demolish the generals, but in vain." Therefore, there is nothing wrong with my battle plan, but you barbarians, short-sighted and self-righteous, did not obey my arrangement, so that there is the current situation, and a group of barbarians dare to question me? ”

Hearing Fu Gongyan scolding the tribal leaders as savages, Mao Dun also felt a little unbearable on his face, because the Xiongnu and Huaxia had been in contact for a long time, and knew that barbarians were not a good word in Huaxia, and they were used to refer specifically to the minority towns around the Huaxia region, so it had also become a very taboo word for the grassland tribes.

After Fu Gongyan came to the Xiongnu tribe, he still respected the Huns, and basically treated the Huns as equals between words, which is also one of the reasons why the Huns accepted Fu Gongyan. However, Fu Gongyan actually looked down on the Huns in his bones, and still regarded them as barbarians, so in a hurry, words such as barbarian and barbarian came out.

When Keban, Zhuo Ge and others heard this, they were naturally furious, and they were about to refute Fu Gongyan, but at this moment, they saw a Hun soldier hurriedly running into the big tent and said: "Report to the order, the big thing is not good......

Halfway through the words, the Hun soldiers found that the atmosphere in the big tent was not right, and the leaders of the tribes were all red-faced and tense, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and swallowed the words that followed.

Although Mao Dun was also full of fire at this time, he finally maintained a little sanity, and the soldier who reported it was his confidant, so he strengthened the fire and said, "What's the matter?" Say it. ”

Only then did the Hun soldier say: "Report to Shan Yu, the livestock and food we transported from Shan Yuting were attacked by the Dai army, and all of them were robbed by the Dai army. ”

After listening to the Hun soldier's speech, the other people in the big tent also forgot about the quarrel and were all stunned. Because now the food in the Hun camp is only enough to eat for one or two days, but I know that the convoy is coming, so I didn't panic, who knows that the food of the livestock has been robbed by the army. This is also the Xiongnu lack of experience in logistics supplements, if it is the army of the Chinese countries, at least will set aside a buffer time of more than ten days, during the buffer period, either cut the soldiers' rations to maintain a period of time, or withdraw, and now the Xiongnu army is facing the danger of running out of food.

Although it is said that the Huns can rely on hunting for maintenance, the prey required by an army of nearly 100,000 is an astonishing number, even if they hunt a wolf pack, it will not last for a few days. All the people in the big tent looked at each other, and they had nothing to say.

However, Fu Gongyan's mind was more flexible than the others, although when he first heard the news, he was also very shocked, and even thought that this battle was bound to be lost, which made him almost feel discouraged, but after thinking about it, this was a good opportunity to persuade the leaders of the tribes to fight against the odds, and maybe they could even put their lives on the ground and turn defeat into victory.

Therefore, Fu Gongyan said: "Patriarchs, please listen to me. ”

Everyone immediately focused their eyes on Fu Gongyan's body, and Fu Gongyan said: "All the patriarchs heard it just now, now our livestock food has been robbed by the army, and the army has run out of food, the Huns are thousands of miles away, it is difficult to send livestock food, we are now in danger, and the only way to do this is to dispatch all the troops tomorrow to attack the defense line of the Dai army, in the camp of the Bailing clan, there are still a lot of food and livestock, as long as the defense line of the Dai army is broken, get the grain and livestock of the Bailing tribe, We're going to be able to sustain it, so this time we have to work together and give it our all to ......."

"Fart!" But before he finished his words, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Ke Ban: "Do you still want to lie to us?" The defense line of the Dai army is simply impossible to be breached, and if we continue to attack tomorrow, we can only let our soldiers die more, if you want to attack the camp of the Dai army, you can attack it yourself, in short, I will not do it, early in the morning, I will leave with the army, and I can go back by hunting and killing horses along the way. ”

And when he took the lead, the patriarch, who had moved a little a few times, also dispelled the idea of continuing the attack and insisted on leaving with the army.
