Chapter 1181 Captured
The wounded soldiers had already been escorted back to the Great Wall at this time, along with the horses captured in this battle.
After these war horses go back, they will be selected from high-quality horse breeds and enriched in various horse farms, while the others will be distributed to various cavalry units.
Seeing that the escort team had gone further and further away, Night Breeze ordered to continue marching.
At this time, Night Breeze's army had already lost about 15,000 people. Excluding the battle damage, there were still soldiers who were responsible for escorting the horses and the wounded back to the Great Wall this time.
At the same time, because the advancing distance is getting farther and farther, the supply line has been stretched very long.
Therefore, Night Breeze directly ordered Long Qie and others to lead their troops to ensure the safety of the supply line, and leave the next battle to the Great Wall Corps.
Now Night Breeze's words are the imperial decree, and Night Breeze was originally the Marshal of the Commanding Army, after all, he was the imperial conscript himself.
So even if Long Qi and the others were a little emotional, they still had to carry out Night Breeze's order at this time.
So, with Long Qie and others leading team 16 to leave again, Night Breeze's current army was only a little over 100,000.
But it was enough for Night Breeze, because he was never someone who needed to rely on these troops to fight.
The reason why he brought these troops with him was because Ye Feng didn't want people to rely too much on him. Soldiers who hadn't experienced war would not be bloody.
And if a country doesn't even have bloody soldiers, then the country is doomed to perish.
It was precisely because of this that Night Breeze would rather pay a high price to bring these troops out.
After all, it was impossible for Night Breeze himself to live forever, so his ghost soldiers might also leave with him after he passed away, so Night Breeze had to cultivate the bloodiness of soldiers at this time.
In case he leaves by himself, no bloody person in the whole of China will stand up. In that case, Night Breeze will be guilty.
But now even if there is only a little more than 100,000 troops, there is not a lot of equipment that should be there.
Countless soldiers put those shields and other weapons of war on the wooden cart, and then they were pulled forward by the mechanism white tiger.
At this time, the Huns finally settled their own affairs, but those who died were directly piled up in one place by them.
And because of the chaos last night, many nobles realized that there was not much smoke left in their hands.
So, with only about 200,000 people in the entire Xiongnu army, they began to march towards Night Breeze.
Of course, the Huns didn't just know how to organize marches blindly.
At this time, a cavalry force of about 20,000 people went out from the slave team, and then ran towards the distance.
And the task of this team was to cut off the back of Yefeng's army, and they also knew that Yefeng's Tang army had almost entered the middle of the grassland at this time.
As Tang Jun's battle line gets longer, the supply line will definitely get longer.
And the plan of the Huns is even if they can't cut off the Tang army's supply line, they must find a way to harass the Tang army's supply line, so as to reduce the supply of the army, so that they can slowly drag the Tang army to death.
The Huns knew that this time the emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally conquered them. As long as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was captured, they would not be left to wait for others to set the price for how many things they wanted.
But what the Huns didn't know was that Night Breeze also thought that the Huns would do this, so he had already sent Long Qie and others with an army of nearly 50,000 people waiting for them.
After the Xiongnu cavalry who attacked the Tang army's supply line went out, not only did the Huns not advance, but they planned to stay here for a long time.
This was also a trick of the Huns. They planned to drag Night Breeze's army to death.
And at this time, another cavalry has already set off. The task of these cavalry is very simple, that is, to take back all the property of all the herdsmen who came here from the Night Breeze army.
What is the herdsman's property is nothing more than those cattle and sheep.
The idea of the top Huns was to not leave Night Breeze and the others with any chance of replenishment on this road.
At the same time, those who were killed yesterday were also transported to some water sources by bullock carts at this time. The Huns planned to pollute all the water sources that the Tang army might use.
But do the Huns think they can really go on like this?
Because at this time, the poisonous roses in the hands of the Huns are only enough for the nobles to use for half a day.
And after a long time, would those nobles really be able to endure the pain of being devoured by thousands of ants?
These nobles have always enjoyed life aloofly, if they were to endure this pain all at once, it would be impossible for them to bear it. In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
At this time, Night Breeze's team hadn't advanced much, but according to the organ bird's report at this time, Night Breeze and the others had less than three days' journey to the place where the Huns gathered.
So Night Breeze directly let the troops camp here, because Night Breeze had received information that the supply line was being attacked, so at this time he could only stop the team first, and then deal with those who attacked the supply line.
In fact, Night Breeze's idea was to wait for Long and others to deal with the enemies on the supply line before he could safely attack the Huns who were not far from him.
Although he said that he had an overwhelming force here, Night Breeze's plan was to settle the rest of the matter first.
After all, there will definitely be countless wounded in the next battle, so the supply line must be safe, otherwise there will be no way to transport these wounded back to the Great Wall.
At this time, a battle with only a few thousand people was taking place somewhere along the Night Breeze supply line.
Among these people, 2,000 were cavalry sent by the Huns to attack the supply line.
And Long Qie and others have already received the information that the supply line was attacked.
You must know that Night Breeze handed over the supply line to him, so he is fully responsible for the safety of the supply line.
Moreover, Night Breeze had already issued a death order, that is, to let Long Qie solve the supply line as soon as possible, and then lead the army to participate in the decisive battle.
The Huns were also smart this time. They broke up the 20,000 cavalry into ten teams, and then sent these ten teams to various places to harass the supply line.
