Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"Da da da……"

The messy sound of horse hooves seemed to reveal the owner's mood.

Lost!

It was just a heavy rain, and Wuhuan's nearly 80,000-strong army, which was now more than half young and strong, was defeated by about 40,000 Han infantry.

In this scene, if anyone had proposed this hypothesis in the past, Qiu Liju would have thought it was a big joke.

Nowadays, Qiu Liju only feels that the idea of ​​making Wuhuan great again is just a joke.

Ming Mingqiu Liju knew that he only had to hold on in the camp until the rainstorm ended, or even just wait for the thunder that caused countless war horses to riot to end.

Then it would be a breathing space for the Wuhuan clan. Even if all the Han troops who attacked the camp were left behind, it would not be impossible.

However, it can't be done!
No matter how many Wuhuan warriors were organized to charge forward, what they faced seemed like massacre.

The Han army is irresistible!
Especially Zhang San from Yan, who led the organized Han army, kept running through the camp with his unique roar in the environment of heavy rain and thunder.

Not only did he repeatedly disperse the Wuhuan elite that Qiu Liju tried to gather, but even the big tent was broken by Zhang San, a Yan man, who led his army, further disintegrating Qiu Liju's attack on the entire Wuhuan army in the heavy rain. command.

That is to say, when the heavy rain blocked the sight of the Wuhuan people, they could not detect the specific casualty rate. They could only feel that the Han army was unstoppably approaching.

Otherwise, the Wuhuan people would not have been able to sustain more than half of their casualties before they were defeated and fled.

"Damn it!! Han dog!!!"

Qiu Liju squeezed out these words bit by bit from between his teeth, feeling a trace of despair shrouding his heart.

The population of the Wuhuan people is not large. Even if we include some herdsmen outside the Great Wall who are difficult to count, the Wuhuan people will not reach 500,000 people.

A large number of old, weak, women and children in Yuyang County and Youbeiping County died. Qiu Liju was just angry, but felt that these losses were not irreparable.

A large amount of money and food slaves can quickly replenish the Wuhuan people's losses.

However, for Wuhuan, the loss of a large number of young men is somewhat difficult for Qiu Liju to accept.

Wuhuan, who had almost exhausted all his clan's strength, only had about 160,000 cavalry, but lost more than 40,000 at once, and the impact was extremely far-reaching.

The lack of troops means that Wuhuan will not only want to occupy Youzhou in the future, but also need to consider whether it will attract the covetousness of the Xianbei people.

There is even a follow-up revenge from the big man...

Wuhuan originally lived in the cracks between the Han, Xianbei, and Xiongnu. At this moment, Qiu Liju suddenly realized that the situation facing Wuhuan had taken a turn for the worse.

Immediately, Qiu Liju, who recovered from his deep thoughts, raised his head and looked around, and found that there were no more than ten thousand Wuhuan people fleeing northward following him, and most of them didn't even have horses. He was dejected. , with a look of lingering shock.

Moreover, Qiu Liju looked at the more than ten Lord Wuhuan and Yi Shuai who had escaped with him, and realized that the eyes they looked at him no longer had any respect and trust, but were full of doubts and anger. .

This made Qiu Liju realize that it was not just Wuhuan who was in a difficult situation, but himself who was even more difficult.

With such a tragic defeat, Qiu Liju, whose position was already unstable, would undoubtedly face a lot of doubts and denials from Lord Wuhuan and Yi Shuai.

Qiu Liju was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!"

Seeing this, Su Puyan, the "Qiao King" who commanded the Wuhuan settlement in the Liaodong vassal state, asked with dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Why is King Wuhuan laughing? Doesn't he think the defeat is not bad enough?"

Immediately, Qiu Liju's laughter stopped, the decadence on his face was wiped away, and he spoke proudly.

"What I am laughing at is that the great Han has no plans and is at the end of his rope. All the counties in Youzhou should eventually belong to me, Wuhuan."

"Is King Wuhuan suffering from hysteria? Just because of these ten thousand remaining soldiers, the defeated general wants to take Youzhou?" Su Puyan asked unceremoniously.

"More than ten thousand?"

Qiu Liju snorted coldly and said. "More than 10,000 people have evacuated the camp? As long as we send out close associates to collect the defeated troops nearby, I believe we can collect at least 30,000 Wuhuan warriors."

The other one, "King Khanlu" Wu Yan, who also escaped with him, mocked.

"Even if there are still more than 30,000 Wuhuan warriors available, what's the use? Even the 80,000-strong army under the command of King Wuhuan was defeated by the Han infantry and fled."

"madness!"

Qiu Liju cursed angrily and said. "As Lord Wuhuan, you are in charge of a group of people, but your vision is so short-sighted."

"you……"

Wu Yan was furious when he heard this, and subconsciously touched the scimitar at his waist.

However, before Wu Yan could draw his sword, Su Buyan quickly held Wu Yan down and turned to Qiu Liju. "King Wuhuan has now suffered a major defeat. All tribes have suffered heavy losses. Especially many settlements in Youbeiping County commanded by 'King Hanlu' were completely destroyed by the Han army."

"If King Wuhuan can't give us an explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, right?"

Compared to the furious Wu Yan, Su Buyan seemed to be trying to stop the conflict between the two sides, but in fact, what he said was also a weapon. Even as soon as these words came out, some of the silent Lord Wuhuan and Yi Shuai looked at Qiu Qiu. Liju's eyes became even more dissatisfied.

Obviously, if Qiu Liju can't handle it well, an internal conflict might break out first.

"Humph!"

Qiu Liju crossed his arms and spoke confidently and proudly.

"Since I have said these words, I naturally have my reasons..."

After a pause, Qiu Liju glanced at the many Lord Wuhuan and Yi Shuai and spoke. "Everyone, let me ask you, if you were a big man in the past, how would you respond to Wuhuan's rebellion?"

Su Buyan hesitated for a moment and replied. "The Han court will naturally send a large army to directly suppress it."

"That's right!"

Qiu Liju nodded heavily and said. "But now Youzhou Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County have fallen one after another. Even Jicheng, the seat of Youzhou, has been besieged by us for two months."

"If the Han court has done something, or if it still has the energy to worry about the border, why has there been no movement for so long?"

When Su Buyan heard this, his eyes moved slightly and he asked. "Whether the Han Dynasty is strong or not, it can't cover up King Wuhuan's defeat this time, can it?"

Qiu Liju looked at Su Puyan with murderous intent in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and said.

"On the contrary, although this battle was defeated, the deaths of those Wuhuan warriors were undoubtedly valuable, and they completely clarified the reality of Youzhou."

"If Youzhou hadn't been at the end of its rope, how could it possibly have taken the risk to attack the camp by surprise?"

"The defeat this time was not due to Wuhuan's bravery being inferior to that of the Han people, but because God was unfavorable. It happened to rain heavily and there was constant thunder, which made it difficult for our warriors to control their horses."

"But as long as I gather the Wuhuan warriors, I can gather more than 30,000 troops, and my son Tadun still has 80,000 troops. After the two armies join together, Youzhou's infantry numbering only 30,000 to 40,000 , how can we stop our Wuhuan army head-on?"

"At that time, our Wuhuan clan...if we advance, we can still plunder Youzhou; if we retreat, we can also temporarily support Zhang Ju's separatist rule. Once winter is over, we can make further plans."

It has to be said that this speech completely convinced most of the Wuhuan adults and Yi Shuai present.

In the final analysis, many Wuhuan lords and Yi marshals are willing to take Zunqiu Li as the main one, only to benefit their ears.

The blueprint drawn by Qiu Liju is even more tempting. The current defeat seems to have little impact on the overall situation. On the contrary, it inexplicably makes many Wuhuan masters feel at ease.

After all, when facing the Wuhuan rebellion this time, the Han army did not use absolute force to subdue Wuhuan head-on. Instead, they took risks and made surprise attacks, and they still had the help of weather to make a difference.

But for the Wuhuan people who advocated martial arts, didn't this indirectly illustrate the weakness of the Han Dynasty?

"Furthermore, according to what I see, not only is the big man no longer able to care about Youzhou, but even Youzhou can no longer spare any effort."

Qiu Liju even waved his hand and said loudly.

"Otherwise, Youzhou will only need to send another three to five thousand cavalry to chase us down. Without giving us a chance to regroup our troops, let alone regroup our troops, our lives will be at risk."

Suddenly, the eyes of many Lord Wuhuan and Yishuai became clear.

If Qiu Liju said anything else, Lord Wuhuan and Yi Shuai might still be a little suspicious, but now Qiu Liju is still reluctantly gathering more than 10,000 people to flee north.

But these Wuhuan defeated troops were almost frightened, with no morale at all, and most of them didn't even have horses.

It can be said that as long as Youzhou can still send three to five thousand cavalry, the more than ten thousand Wuhuan defeated troops will be unable to compete with them, and they can only be chased to death along the way.

"That makes sense, that makes sense."

"What King Wuhuan said is absolutely true. Although this battle was a great defeat for our army, it also fully demonstrated the weakness of the Han Dynasty."

"Once we have figured out Dahan's real situation, as long as we make a comeback next year, we won't have to be tied up like now. The losses this time can be recovered from Dahan tenfold and a hundred times."

After being so comforted by Qiu Liju for a while, many Wuhuan masters and Yi Shuai reluctantly raised their morale a little bit among the constant discussions, which also made Qiu Liju's originally shaky position a little more stable.

Afterwards, Qiu Liju immediately sent his close confidants to disperse, and Wuhuan's defeated troops who fled in all directions began to gather around him.

Soon, just as Qiu Liju expected, Qiu Liju once again gathered a Wuhuan army of more than 30,000 people as he continued to advance north along the way.

After all, the Han army was all infantry. If the Wuhuan people wanted to escape, the exhausted 30,000 to 40,000 infantrymen would not be able to stop the Wuhuan people who fled in all directions.

Moreover, after the Wuhuan people escaped from the camp, they all fled northward in unison. As long as the directions were the same, it was not difficult for Qiu Liju to gather the defeated troops.

However, Qiu Liju and others fled in a hurry and did not bring any food supplies with them. Even most of the Wuhuan people were dripping wet. (End of chapter)
