I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 209 Good things take time ([-])

"Kill the enemy!"

With that roar, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty once again raised their strength, and then launched another charge in the direction of the Huns' evacuation.

The few but absolutely elite cavalrymen from the Fifth School of Yulin in the Han army were the first to rush in, responsible for holding back the fleeing Huns.

As for the previous battlefield, hundreds of people gathered the corpses of their comrades for their own soldiers.

The enemy, on the other hand, continued to become a part of the Jingguan, and stayed here forever to frighten the foreign barbarians.

The so-called Jingguan is a high mound formed by gathering enemy corpses and sealing them with earth. It is a hill made of piled enemy corpses. Unfortunately, this Jingguan still lacks a head that can truly suppress the hill.

That must use the enemy's head coach.

but.
"Although the Xiongnu's Zuoxian King Ao Zhenri Zhu Wang was the leader of the Xiongnu, he was not the initiator of this battle.

He doesn't deserve to be at the top of this capital.

Soldiers, I will take the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu who is chasing the corpse of the Wan clan. I will use the beast's head to pay tribute to my officers and people of the Han Dynasty! "

Following another roar from the veteran Pang Xiong, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty accelerated their speed again.

When the excitement or fear reaches a certain level, they will even forget about fatigue.

Liu Long also forgot who said this, but when Liu Long's eyes were red, he kept urging the chariot to speed up.

The war drums were constantly beating, encouraging the soldiers to continue the pursuit.

When the people of the Southern Xiongnu fled wildly, chasing and escaping for hundreds of miles in a few days.

Only then did Liu Long realize that this sentence was indeed a wise saying.

Whether it is the soldiers of the Han army or the Xiongnu thieves, they have long forgotten what fatigue is.

One of them looked at the enemy in front of them, as if they saw their future military exploits and good life.

The other one looked at the Han army that was constantly chasing and killing, as if he saw the evil ghost coming to attack him.

Between chasing and escaping, they had already exceeded the so-called limit of the human body, until they completely penetrated into the desert and kept the Southern Xiongnu away from the big man.

This is when it finally comes to an end.

It looked like the Southern Huns were still running away even when they were not pursuing the pursuit and started to formally repair.

Pang Xiong knew that this war could be brought to an end for the time being.

Liu Long still didn't understand this.

"General Pang, we have indeed made a lot of gains along the way and gained a lot, but our soldiers still have some strength left.

Why not continue the pursuit?
Our soldiers are quite tired, but so are the Huns."

"Your Majesty's words are very kind, but we really can't pursue him." Pang Xiong could see Liu Long's dissatisfaction and unwillingness.

But he still did not continue to order the pursuit because of Liu Long's identity.

He must be responsible for his soldiers.

Seeing the serious look on Liu Long's face, Pang Xiong couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty's intentions will eventually be understood, but Your Majesty needs to know that I, the Han, have already expelled most of the Xiongnu, and those foreign barbarians are no longer a match for us in terms of strength.

But why do we still let those foreign barbarians help us herd horses and sheep after so many years, instead of completely wiping them out or completely conquering them? "

".They are so ambitious and prone to rebellion!"

"If that's the case, it's enough to wipe them out completely. Why bother?" "This" Liu Long looked at Pang Xiong in front of him. He seemed to want to continue arguing, but he opened and closed his mouth and couldn't say anything more in the end. Discourse.

He could only let Pang Xiong continue talking after a cold snort of anger.

"Your Majesty, you must know that whether these Xiongnu, or the Wuhuan and Xianbei, they really need fertile grassland, so they want to live in the northern part of Bingzhou, the Han Dynasty, and the border of Youzhou.

This is their hope, but it is not their necessity.

If it is true that my big man wants to wipe them out completely, then at worst they can just run away.

Going deep into the desert, or even turning around to find new grassland pastures, may result in a lot of losses and may be very uncomfortable, but it is not without hope.

I hope His Majesty also knows this.

This was the case for most of the Huns back then.

They all live in pursuit of water and grass. Once moved, they continue to flee with their tribesmen, cattle and sheep.

The cattle and sheep eat water and grass, while the tribesmen eat cattle and sheep. There will be many casualties along the way, but they can go on after all.

But my strong soldiers cannot do it.

We need enough food and supplies.

To put it simply, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will require at least more than [-] corvees in the rear, and the longer the distance, the greater this number will be!
We, the corvee, are not responsible for providing them with any food or water, and we can only let them prepare it themselves.

Then he was responsible for escorting the grain and grass.

The consumption of food and grass was huge for the people.

and"

When Pang Xiong said this, he couldn't help but look at the northern desert in front of him.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to look at the desert outside the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang, but at night, it is quite cold even in the sweltering summer.

Not only that, at the beginning of the year and the end of the year, it was snowing all over the sky, and the farther north you went, the less and less alive the days became.

Those foreign barbarians outside the Great Wall have lived here since childhood, and many people die every year after the winter.

What's more, my big Han soldiers?
After winter really entered, when the snow came, we would not be able to march at all. At that time, we might not be able to march more than twenty miles in a day and a night.

This is not just about not being able to attack and kill.

At that time, it will be very difficult for me to evacuate even if I want to.

Moreover, the road behind us was also difficult to walk at that time, and the corvee could not quickly escort the grain and grass to us. In addition, there was also the problem of being unable to distinguish the road in addition to the wind and snow.

These problems are the fatal wounds of our army.

Any one of them may kill my army, and so far, not even Wei Huo can change this.

Sima Wei can only send troops to the northern border area, and General Huo Qubing can only go back quickly and dare not stay too long outside the wall."

Following Pang Xiong's words, Liu Long's expression finally became completely lonely.

At this moment, he finally understood that this matter was far from being as easy as he imagined.

And the moment Pang Xiong decided to stop, another problem among the army also appeared.

"Report to General Du Liao!"
