Chapter 558 The clan retreats, Zhao Kuo is alert
Although Li Mu had considered all aspects during the battle, he was not familiar with this village after all. He didn't know that in addition to the front and back two doors, there was actually an abandoned side door in this village, but it was still possible to enter and exit.
The two Hun soldiers quietly left the side door, and then took advantage of Li Mu's death to kill other Huns and Li Jingguan to escape and return to the Hun army camp dozens of miles away, and immediately asked to meet the leader of the Kuroshi clan.
Looking at the two Hun soldiers kneeling in front of him, the head of the Kuroshi clan looked very cold, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"You mean, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Zhao cavalry had already massacred almost everyone in the village, including General Lu?"
Two Hun soldiers kowtowed in a row: "Clan leader, this is true, we have no silence."
The head of the Crown clan waved his hand and signaled the two Hun soldiers to retreat, then said to the other Hun generals in the tent: "What do you think?"
Everyone present was a general of the Kuru clan, and the Kuru clan was the only tribe among the four major tribes of the Huns that went south to enter Dai County.
Sitting on the left hand of the chief of the Tuo clan was his eldest son Luan Hezhen. At this moment, Luan Hezhen said in a deep voice: "Father, or Lu is a powerful general of our Tuo clan. Even if we fight in a hurry, we will not die so quickly.
So there are only two possibilities for this matter. One is that these two escaped slaves lied, and the other is that the Zhao army knight is indeed very powerful!”
After He Zhen said that, the atmosphere in the big tent became more and more dull.
A general of the Qiangshi clan couldn't help but say, "We have been traveling around the territory of Zhao these days, but we have not seen any decent army."
Luan Hezhen sneered and said, "Is this really the case?"
Uncle, if I remember correctly, it took you two days to lead two thousand cavalry to attack a small town guarded by Zhao people with only one hundred soldiers, right?
If it weren't for the Zhao people being caught off guard by us this time, I'm afraid our soldiers and horses of the Crown Family might not have been able to advance here so smoothly."
"alright."
The head of the Turtle clan frowned and interrupted the two of them's about to break out: "The current situation is that Or Lu is dead, and he is also dead with 1,200 Luan Warriors! Our Turtle clan only brought 8,000 people this time, and now there are only more than 6,000 people left, but we don't know how many reinforcements are coming to Zhao State.
Ten thousand?
Twenty thousand?
Even more?
I will send me an order, and we will retreat immediately and go north to meet with the other three ministries!"
As soon as the head of the Clan clan finished speaking, several generals of the Clan clan immediately changed their faces, but no one dared to object.
Not no one would object to the patriarch, but all those who had opposed the patriarch have now become vulture food, and their corpses are exposed to the sun and rotten on the grassland.
After half a day, thousands of cavalry of the Kuroshi began to set off one after another and continued to head north.
What the chief of the Crown clan did not expect was that Li Mu arrived much faster than they thought.
Just the day after the Chirpra had left, Li Mu had already arrived at the camp.
"The Huns were still there yesterday?"
Looking at the camp that was basically abandoned in front of him, Li Mu did not immediately choose to pursue him, but instead walked around the camp first.
Through several unique marks, Li Mu recognized the identity of this Hun army.
"Canderman!"
Li Mu's face began to become ferocious.
As a veteran who had served in Gaoquesai, Li Mu knew all the four major tribes of the Xiongnu.
Lan, Subu, Huyan and Chiu.
Among the four major tribes, the Tuoshi family has always been very low-key, but it is the most brutal tribe.
Wherever the Chirpin went, no chicken or dog left! This can explain why the tragic situation of the military and civilians of the Zhao State of Daijun came all the way.
Li Mu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Chasing, you must chase after me and prevent these damn Huns from returning to the grassland!"
Two thousand Zhao cavalrymen continued to chase after Li Mu.
A day later, Zhao Kuo led a large group of troops from Chiyou's army to arrive here.
It’s not that Zhao Kuo is slow, but that the steep road of Taihang Mountain has really hindered the advance of the cavalry.
From Handan to Daijun, it would be only two to three days on the plain at most, but Zhao Kuo took eight days this time! Looking at the abandoned Hun camp in front of him and listening to the report from the scouts specially left by Li Mu, Zhao Kuo's expression gradually became serious.
"Is the Chiu-Clan..." People in this era naturally did not know much about the Chiu-Clan. At most, they knew that this was one of the four major clans of the Xiongnu, but Zhao Kuo was different.
As a time traveler, Zhao Kuo knew very well about the specialness of this cynical family.
In history, it was Luan Mudun, who came from the Tushima clan, who unified the Huns unprecedentedly, transformed the Huns from a tribal alliance to a nomadic empire, and officially opened up the thousand-year grudge between the northern nomadic empire and the southern Central Plains dynasty in Chinese history.
Although Maodun should not be born yet, the rise of the Crown clan is almost inevitable. In history, Maodun Shanyu's father Touman was already the leader of the Huns.
Zhao Kuo was very calm and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone to the northern counties and tell all military commanders not to act rashly, just gather to defend.
We must wait until this marquis arrives before launching a counterattack against the Huns!”
Although everyone thinks that the Huns are weak, even Zhao Kuo himself thinks so, war is not a simple deduction of war, nor is it possible for anyone who is stronger to win.
Along the way, Zhao Kuo saw the poisoned appearance in Dai County clearly, which made him alert.
The Huns were definitely a very cruel enemy. Such enemies could not and should not be underestimated.
If the Huns cannot be hurt and damaged at one time, and the main force of these Huns escapes to the grassland, it will be several times or even dozens of times more difficult to catch them in the future, and the same is true for the time it takes.
Zhao Kuo didn't want to be in charge of the northern border counties for several years or even decades.
Zhao Kuo's orders spread rapidly to the north, and his troops were also heading north without stopping.
Passing through Xiawu Mountain in the north of Dai County, you will reach the territory of Yanmen County, Zhao State, which is also the most severely poisoned by the Huns.
Zhao Kuo made up his mind to settle the Huns there! But what surprised Zhao Kuo was that when his orders were passed to the northern counties, unexpected changes occurred, which even affected the entire battle situation.
Chapter completed!
