Fu Gongyan said in a deep voice: "Patriarchs, didn't we discuss it yesterday? First of all, we must consume the bows and arrows of the Dai Army, and then launch a full-scale attack after the bows and arrows of the Dai Army are shot, and now we have lost a little men, which is also expected, you can't even afford to lose such a little men, and you still want to break through the defense line of the Dai Army, do you think that the defense line of the Dai Army is papery? ”

Ge Zhuo protested: "Mr. Fugong, as you saw just now, the Dai Army not only has bows and arrows, but also trebuchets, javelins, and stones are all over the mountain, and javelins are easy to make, so it is impossible for us to run out of bows and arrows and javelins for the Dai Army. ”

Keban also said: "Yes, the Dai army also dug a trench in front of the defense line, blocking us from breaking through at all, even if we exhausted the arrows of the Dai army, it is useless, I think the method we discussed yesterday will not work at all, so we should collect the troops back and think of other ways." ”

Fu Gongyan said: "The army has trebuchets, the javelin is indeed true, but there are only a few trebuchets, the javelin projection distance is limited, the army is still based on bows and arrows, as for the trenches are even easier to do, as long as a few wooden platoons are tied in advance and erected on the trenches, you can break through the past, so as long as we can exhaust the arrows of the army, we can break through the defense line of the army, the plan we discussed yesterday is not wrong, just see if you can stick to it." ”

After listening to Fu Gongyan's words, the tribal leaders were silent, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that if they wanted to break through the defense line of the Dai army, they could only use Fu Gongyan's method, but seeing the Hun army fill in like this and send them to death, everyone was a little worried, so they were in a dilemma for a while.

At this moment, Fu Gongyan looked at the direction of the battlefield, couldn't help but change his face, and pointed to the battlefield: "Look, what is the acting army doing?" ”

Only then did everyone look at the battlefield, only to see dozens of soldiers of the army walking out of the defensive line, coming to the battlefield to collect arrows and throwing guns, and at the same time collecting the bows and arrows of the Hun soldiers who died in the battle.

It turned out that Gao Yuan knew that the number of bows and arrows in the camp was not much, and although the javelins were simple to make, they could not be consumed at will, so after seeing that the Xiongnu army retreated, it did not immediately attack again, so he ordered some soldiers to go out of the camp to collect the javelins on the battlefield, as well as the bows and arrows of the dead Hun soldiers. At the same time, we will also sort out the rejection horses that are diagonally inserted in the trenches.

There were about 2,000 Hun soldiers killed in the battle just now, and the battlefield was mainly concentrated close to the defense line of the Dai army, because about half of the Hun soldiers were killed on the edge of the trench or in the trench, only a dozen steps away from the defense line of the Dai army, so the soldiers of the Dai army could walk out of the camp without any scruples, jump over the trench, and collect bows and arrows and javelins. Even if the Hun army attacked again, it would be able to withdraw to the camp in time.

The Huns are a nation on horseback, bows and arrows are naturally a must-have, most of the Hun soldiers will bring two bows, some will even bring three bows, and arrows each person at least two pots, usually three to four pots, there are also seven or eight pots, each pot can hold twenty to thirty arrows. Therefore, in a short time, the Dai army collected more than 1,000 bows, more than 100,000 arrows, and most of the javelins were also recovered.

Although these bows are made by the Huns themselves, the craftsmanship is relatively rough, and the range is generally within fifty steps, but there is better than nothing, now there are only more than 600 bows in total, less than 50,000 arrows, this time there are twice as many arrows, not only the plateau is happy, even the Bailing people have greatly increased their morale, at the beginning of the war, the Bailing people are indeed a little nervous, after all, more than 100,000 Hun troops, it looks really scary, but after the battle just now, everyone has some bottom in their hearts, at least their hands are no longer trembling.

Now that there are more bows and arrows like this all of a sudden, Gao Yuan immediately ordered to select five hundred Bailing clansmen to immediately practice archery, preparing to play a role in future battles.

The leaders of Mao Dun, Fu Gongyan, and various departments in the Xiongnu array also saw clearly, and the army in this era had basically collected the bows, arrows, and javelins on the side of the trenches, so some soldiers went to a farther place to find bows and arrows and javelins.

Fu Gongyan said angrily: "Okay, in the round of attack just now, we have already consumed a large number of arrows of the Dai Army, if we launch one or two more such attacks immediately, without giving the Dai Army a chance to breathe, we can exhaust all the arrows of the Dai Army, maybe we can break through the defense line of the Dai Army today, but because of your hesitation and anticlimactic, the result not only gave the Dai Army a chance to slow down, but also collected the bows and arrows of the fallen soldiers, which increased the strength of the Dai Army in vain. also made the soldiers who had just died on the battlefield worthless, just a group of shafts, insufficient and conspiracy. "But in my heart, I was thinking, barbarians are barbarians, not only short-sighted, but also really difficult to manage, it seems that after subduing the Huns, I really have to discipline them well.

Although the leaders didn't understand what it meant, they also knew that it was not a good word, but the fact in front of them was indeed as Fu Gongyan said, because the Xiongnu army failed to insist on attacking, the generation army had the opportunity to collect bows and arrows on the battlefield, greatly enriching their bows and arrows, and also making the first attack of the Xiongnu army worthless. Therefore, although he was scolded by Fu Gongyan, he felt uncomfortable, but he was speechless.

At this time, Mao Dun saw that both sides were a little unable to get off the stage, so he played a round and said: "Mr. Fugong, don't be angry, now that things have happened, even if you are angry again, it is useless, what should we do next, if we continue to attack, the Dai army already has more bows and arrows, and if we attack again, I am afraid that the casualties will be greater, and it will be fruitless." ”

In fact, Mao Dun also had some wavering in Fu Gongyan's plan, he was not like other tribal leaders, he couldn't stand these losses, but Mao Dun's intelligence was of course much stronger than the tribal leaders, he saw that the biggest loophole in Fu Gongyan's plan was that he didn't consider the trench in front of the defense line, it was this seemingly inconspicuous trench that not only blocked the route of the Xiongnu army's breakthrough, but also made the javelins of the Dai army useful, which greatly made up for the weakness of the lack of bows and arrows, so even if it continued to attack, I'm afraid it will also be difficult to break through the defense line of the Dai Army. However, it was not easy to say this to Fu Gongyan, so he had to knock on the side to remind Fu Gongyan.

Although Fu Gongyan refused to admit his mistake, he also knew in his heart that not taking into account this trench was indeed his biggest mistake, and if he did not solve the problem of the trench, it would not only be difficult to consume the bows and arrows of the Dai Army, but also difficult to break through the defense line of the Dai Army. In addition, now that the Dai army has obtained a large number of bows and arrows, if it attacks again today, it will indeed be difficult to achieve any results, but he is also a little unwilling to let Fu Gongyan take the initiative to withdraw the troops, because this is tantamount to admitting that his plan is wrong.

However, seeing that Fu Gongyan was silent, he also knew that he was a little tempted, but he couldn't pull his face for a while, so Mao Dun said: "In my opinion, it is better to temporarily collect the troops and go back to the camp, and let's discuss it again, how to attack the camp of the representative army, and attack again tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Mao Dun said this, Fu Gongyan also happened to borrow the ladder to go down the wall, so he nodded and said, "Okay, this time it will be based on Yu's opinion, but after we discuss the plan today, we must not hesitate again tomorrow, and we must stick to the end." ”

Seeing that Fu Gongyan agreed to withdraw the troops, Mao Dun was naturally satisfied, and immediately said: "Of course, of course." Then he turned to the tribal leaders and said, "You have all heard it just now, and after discussing it today, you will not hesitate again tomorrow." ”

The tribal leaders also said, "Yes, yes, we will definitely not repeat it again." ”

Fu Gongyan was satisfied at this time, and said: "Okay, but even if we collect our troops, we can't leave the remaining bows and arrows on the battlefield to the acting army, we should immediately send someone to take back the remaining bows and arrows, and then we will collect the troops." ”

Mao Dun also nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Mr. reminded him very rightly, you must not leave the remaining bows and arrows to the Dai Jun." ”

So Mao Dun also immediately ordered to send 500 Hun soldiers to the battlefield to collect bows and arrows.

Seeing that the Hun army also sent people up to collect bows and arrows, the plateau was also a little surprised, because this is equivalent to the rhythm of collecting troops, I didn't think that the Hun army only launched an attack, lost more than 2,000 people, and retreated, but in the battle just now, the trenches of the army did block the advance of the Hun army, so the withdrawal of the Hun army is also reasonable, and when the Hun army comes to attack again, it is probably a way to break through the trenches.

However, now the bows and arrows and javelins within forty paces outside the defense line have basically been collected by the Dai army, and the number of Hun soldiers killed outside forty paces is much less. In the end, the Dai army added hundreds of bows and tens of thousands of arrows, and now the Dai army's bows have exceeded 2,000, and the arrows have reached nearly 200,000 branches, which is several times higher than before the start of this war, and it can be used freely, not to mention that there is a strong defense line, so even if the trench is broken, the Dai army still has enough strength to defend against the Hun army.

Gao Yuan even thought that the original design of this trench was indeed a little ill-considered, because the role of the trench was not actually to block the surprise attack of the Hun army, but to cause certain difficulties to the surprise attack of the Hun army, and only in this way could the Hun army be able to induce the Hun army to continuously launch attacks on the defense line of the Dai army, so as to achieve the goal of depleting the Hun army and hitting the morale of the Hun army. Therefore, Gao Yuan also considered that in tomorrow's battle, the trenches should be abandoned and the Xiongnu army should directly attack the defensive line.

So Gao Yuan also made up his mind to recruit back the soldiers who collected bows, arrows and javelins on the battlefield, and not to clash with the Xiongnu army.
