Time passed little by little, and the night became dark.
On the official road, Mao Dun led the army and was rapidly approaching Longguan.
The failure to attack Chencang County caused great losses to the army under Mao Dun. It was even impossible for him to attack the Sili area again for a short period of time. This had a great impact on Mao Dun's plan.
It can be said that the failure of the attack on Chencang County made it impossible for Mao Dun to go east again. Even due to the terrain of Liangzhou, it was extremely difficult for him to develop production.
In this situation, Mao Dun was very angry.
He is not willing to give in!
But in the current situation, the army suffered heavy losses, many soldiers fled, and the number of troops around him was now less than 15,000. Especially the soldiers who were lost in this war, many of them were direct descendants of his command. Once this failure occurs, return
After arriving in Liangzhou, I am afraid that many people among the Xiongnu tribe will have other ideas.
Mao Dun rode on horseback. At this time, a general came over and said: "Dad Shanyu, we retreated all the way from Chencang County to the vicinity of Longguan. During this retreat, the soldiers in the army were exhausted. Many soldiers could not move.
If we are moving, can we ask the soldiers to stop and rest? Anyway, we are not far from Longguan."
Mao Dun looked around and saw that the morale of the army officers was indeed very low.
Every soldier was wilted.
Originally, Maodun was in Liangzhou. He was a mythical existence, invincible and invincible. He was the God of War of the Xiongnu, the king of all the Huns, and the master of all the Xiongnu tribes.
However, he failed.
This failure also affected Moton's prestige.
This is what Moton doesn't want to see.
Mao Dun thought for a while, and then he gave the order: "Give the order, the whole army must assemble, and then rest where they are. After resting for a while, we set off and arrived at Longguan tonight and rested at Longguan."
"Here!"
When a general receives an order, he immediately passes it on.
The army stopped to rest.
However, Mao Dun did not get off his horse, but rode his horse to the front where all the soldiers were gathering to rest. With the moonlight above his head, his eyes swept across all the Huns soldiers, and he said loudly: "My sons, you are the warriors of the great Huns.
You are the warriors blessed by the God of Kunlun. You have strong bodies, strong martial arts skills, unyielding fighting spirit, and the courage to fight to the end."
"We lost this battle!"
"Indeed, we were careless. We didn't expect that the Emperor of Shu would suddenly come out."
"However, the war has just begun."
"Although our battle with Shu failed for the first time, we did not really fail. As the people of Kunlun God, are the Huns still afraid of fighting?"
Mao Dun's voice became louder and louder, saying: "When the Huns were at their weakest, they were just a small tribe of about ten people, not even a tribe. We have experienced countless times along the way to where we are now.
s failure."
"We have failed, but we have never been discouraged."
"We were weak, but we never gave up."
"We are never afraid of failure or fighting. This time we were defeated, but our people are still there, our spirit is still there, and we still have the blessing of God Kunlun. We can attack Chencang County again."
Mao Dun continued: "We can continue to fight, we can continue to fight. As long as we still have the heart to fight to the end, as long as we still have the fighting spirit to march eastward, we will take Chencang County sooner or later."
"Are you willing to fight with me again?"
Modu asked loudly.
"willing!"
The Huns soldiers in the army shouted loudly.
"willing!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
…
Countless Xiongnu soldiers shouted loudly after listening to Maodun's words.
Originally, after the battle in Chencang County, these Huns soldiers all lost their fighting spirit and were like lost dogs. They thought that the Huns were defeated and could not defeat the Han people again.
But after Mao Dun's words, the soldiers in the army, as well as the heads of the Xiongnu tribes in the army, were all incited by Mao Dun, and they all temporarily gave up their negative thoughts.
Everyone is united.
The shouts got louder and louder, and the voices became louder and louder, and finally they became uniform.
The low morale was completely reversed.
When Mao Dun saw this scene, a look of joy appeared on his face, finally reversing the turbulent situation in people's hearts. What Mo Dun was most worried about was that he could not inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Now that he saw the condition of the soldiers, he was really relieved.
Everything is in order.
Mao Dun raised his hand and pressed down, and saw that all the soldiers in the army immediately fell silent. Everyone stopped talking, and all their eyes fell on Mao Dun, waiting for Mo Dun to speak.
Mao Dun continued: "Now, we are returning to Longguan. We will recuperate and reorganize our forces. As long as we recover, we can attack Chencang County again. Today, the Shu army has stopped us, but we will surely be defeated in the future."
We will get it back again. All our soldiers who died in battle will never die in vain. Their heroic spirits will definitely protect us and protect us to seek revenge."
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
…
The soldiers in the army continued to shout loudly.
Countless people shouted, and their voices resounded through the night sky and lingered in the night sky for a long time.
Mao Dun waved his hands and said: "Everyone rests where they are for a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, we continue on our way and return to Longguan. As soon as we return to Longguan, I will immediately arrange military cooks to prepare to kill chickens and sheep for you."
Shocking. Although we lost this time, our fighting spirit is still high and we will still fight again."
The soldiers in the army immediately had fighting spirit like a rainbow.
Everyone was excited and ready to fight again.
I have to say that Mao Dun is very capable.
The army, which was originally low in morale, now has high morale.
Mao Dun flicked his sleeves and let the soldiers continue to rest. Then he returned to the central army and came to a big tree. Then he dismounted and rested against the big tree.
While Maodun was resting, a middle-aged scribe came over.
This man's name was Jia Xuan, who was from Liangzhou. After Mao Dun was born, Jia Xuan took refuge in Mao Dun. With Jia Xuan's assistance, Mao Dun won consecutive battles and soon unified the entire Liang Province.
, the strength is greatly increased.
Attacking Chencang County this time was also Jia Xuan's suggestion.
But, I didn't expect Wang Can to come back.
In fact, if Wang Can had not rushed back in time, as long as Wang Can stayed one day, even half a day, one or two hours late, the situation in the entire Shu Kingdom would have changed drastically, and the entire Huns' war would have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Jia Xuan saw Mao Dun at this moment. After bowing and bowing, he immediately suggested: "Da Shanyu, we attacked Chencang County for the first time. Now we have failed in this battle, but for us, failure means failure."
style of play."
"Especially Da Danyu is good at boosting morale."
"Under the encouragement of the Great Chanyu, the soldiers in the army have now regained their fighting spirit and are able to fight. Under the current battle situation, although the soldiers are a little tired, they still have fighting ability, and their stomachs are not very hungry."
"As long as we fight back now, we will definitely be able to catch Wang Can's pursuers by surprise."
"Even if Wang Can is no longer chasing, as long as we fight back, we can catch Wang Can by surprise. So Wei Chen suggested that we fight back immediately and fight Wang Can's army again. As long as Wang Can is not prepared, this battle will
Must win."
Jia Xuan said: "Please accept the humble post's suggestion."
After listening to Jia Xuan's words, Mao Dun's thoughts were confused, and he also thought about the possibility of Jia Xuan's suggestion. Under normal circumstances, Mao Dun could lead the army to fight back, which would kill a carbine. But now
Under such circumstances, it is not very convenient to fight back.
Because Wang Can's strength is not weak.
Mao Dun said: "Mr. Jia, if we want to fight back, Wang Can may be waiting for us to fight back. After all, Wang Can has the advantage in this battle. Under such circumstances, I do not agree to fight back."
"well……"
Jia Xuan sighed, feeling a little regretful.
In today's situation, if we don't go back to catch up, we won't have much chance of winning.
Mao Dun said: "Mr. Jia, this Shanyu has no plans to send troops for this battle."
Jia Xuan was unwilling to give up, saying: "Chanyu, if we don't strike while the iron is hot in this battle, let Wang Can go. Then if we want to attack Chang'an next, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
Mao Dun said: "No matter how difficult it is, we can only adopt the strategy of not sending troops temporarily."
Seeing that Mao Dun had made up his mind, Jia Xuan stopped persuading him and nodded: "Since the Great Chanyu has decided, then this battle will be decided according to the Great Chanyu's arrangements."
Jia Xuan was very clear about Mao Dun's character.
If he tries to persuade Mao Dun again, he may anger Wang Can, thus affecting his weight in front of Mao Dun.
Maodun waved his hand, and Jia Xuan stepped back.
Mao Dun looked at Jia Xuan's retreating back and sighed in his heart. If it were his idea, he would naturally want to conquer Chencang County in one go. However, after being blocked twice in a row, Mao Dun's ambition would not be possible in a short time.
It may have grown.
After the army rested for a quarter of an hour, they continued their journey.
The army rushed on its way to Longguan.
When Mao Dun approached Long Pass, Cao Cao and Huang Zhong stood opposite each other on the tower of Long Pass. However, the two men were never exposed to Mao Dun, so even if Mao Dun led his army to arrive, Cao Cao and Huang Zhong were still there.
Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Mr. Cao, when we talk later, you will take the lead."
"no problem!"
Cao Cao responded with a smile.
It is not difficult for him to stabilize Maodun.
Time passes little by little.
Not long after, I saw a group of cavalry galloping toward me on the official road in the distance. This group of cavalry gradually became clearer and clearer. They were the more than 10,000 Huns cavalry led by Mao Dun.
Seeing the arrival of Mao Dun and his army, Cao Cao did not say anything. He ordered his soldiers to open the gate of Longguan in advance, and then quietly waited for Mao Dun to enter.
At this moment, Maodun had no doubt that he was there.
Because, in Mao Dun's view, Long Pass is impossible to break. (To be continued)
