Chapter 280 Attack on Temujin
Chapter 279: Attack on Temujin
Now the remaining troops of the Huns are only 70,000 to 80,000. While protecting such a huge territory, they also have to face 100,000 northern desert coalition forces. The pressure can be imagined.
The leaders of various Xiongnu tribes believed that they should avoid their edge and temporarily gave up Monan to defend Hetao. After their strength recovered, they would fight the three tribes in Mobei and recover Monan.
This was definitely a difficult choice for the Huns, but it was indeed the safest method at present, but it was firmly opposed by Temujin.
Temujin''s ambition is far from comparable to that of Vroe. He knew that the Yanmen Army, which had recovered the three counties and absorbed a million people, had long been no longer as powerful as before.
Compared with the Yanmen Army, which is growing strength every day, the Huns have fallen behind significantly. If the Huns still want to avenge their revenge, it is impossible to achieve it without some extraordinary means.
If a strong enemy attacks and you have to give up your territory, when will you unify the grassland? Temujin thought so in his heart.
In a world of great struggle, if you cannot face difficulties, you will inevitably be destroyed among all living beings.
It is true that the Huns were defeated by the Yanmen Army, but Temujin did not think that those people in Mobei could be compared with the Yanmen Army.
In Temujin''s eyes, what if there are 100,000 such opponents? They are still just a group of sheep to be slaughtered, so how could they be the opponent of the pack of wolves?
In the end, Temujin disagreed with the opposition and convinced all tribe leaders, and then summoned the most elite 50,000 knights of the Huns to fight a decisive battle with twice his enemies.
This is a war that bets on the hopes of the entire Huns. If it is defeated, the Huns will have no strength to turn things around.
The Hun soldiers who went to the army to fight obviously also understood this. They sacrificed their lives to win and fought with the enemy with all their lives. In order to boost morale, even Temujin did not hesitate to go into battle himself.
Although the strength of the Mobei Alliance Army was twice that of the Huns, the combat power of the soldiers was indeed far from that of the Huns whose morale was completely stimulated.
The soldiers were no longer as good as the Huns, and in terms of generals, the Mobei coalition was completely destroyed.
In terms of command, the Huns had Temujin, whose basic command was as high as 98.
In terms of the powerful generals, the Huns even had Zhebe, Torre and Ogedei.
Although the Mobei coalition forces had a large number of people, there was no general who could show off, so the result was naturally blown up by Temujin.
Temujin defeated the 100,000 coalition forces in the north of Mobei with 50,000 cavalry front-line, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue the north for three days and three nights.
There were less than 3,000 coalition forces left after fleeing back to Mobei, and basically all the troops were wiped out.
This battle not only greatly boosted Temujin''s reputation on the grassland, but also completely strengthened the position of the Shanyu. There was no longer any resistance to Temujin within the Huns, and the tribes in the northern desert dared not easily peek at the Huns, and the Huns ushered in a brief peace.
Standing beside Temujin, Torre saw that the leaders of all races had arrived, so he approached Temujin''s ear and whispered, "The Great Shanyu, everyone has arrived."
Temujin looked at Huchuquan, the first on the left, and Liu Bao, the first on the right, nodded and said lightly: "Now the three tribes in Mobei have suffered heavy losses, which is the best time for our Huns to intervene in Mobei, so this Shanyu decided to expand the results of the battle and send troops to conquer the three tribes in Mobei."
As soon as Temuzhen finished speaking, she caused a burst of exclamation, some excitement, some joy, and some fear. The Huns really need the most now to rest, but most people still support Temujin''s move to send troops, because they believe that the invincible Shanyu will never fail.
Among the voices of approval, if only one person objected, it would be quite harsh and eye-catching. There is no one except Hu Chuquan who dared to oppose Temujin at this time.
"Although the Shanyu tribes were defeated in the north of Mobei, the foundation still exists. Although our Huns won a big victory, there were quite a lot of casualties. It is not advisable to raise troops again at this time."
Although Temujin and Hu Chuquan had differences in their respective positions, they were consistent in their determination to revitalize the Huns. Therefore, when Temujin was about to make a mistake, Hu Chuquan didn''t want to stand up and dissuade him.
When Temujin saw that the person who was opposing was the second brother, he immediately smiled with a kind smile: "The second brother is too worried. Now that the elites of the three tribes are all destroyed, all the remaining are all defeated soldiers. What are the fears of our Huns?"
"Yes, the second uncle. I also advised that now is the weakest time for the three tribes. If you miss such a good opportunity, you will regret it when you restore your strength!"
Liu Bao on the side also persuaded him, and Hu Chuquan was very surprised to see this.
What kind of ecstasy did Temujin give Liu Bao so much support?
"Don''t forget that there are more than three tribes in the northern part of the desert." Hu Chuquan said coldly.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, how could they forget this?
"With our Huns'' current strength, even if we can defeat and occupy the territory of the three tribes, can we defend it? Besides, will other tribes watch the territory of the three tribes be occupied by our Huns?"
There are more than ten tribes of all sizes in the northern part of the Mobei region, with a total population of more than 1.5 million. They fight each other endlessly, but no one can do anything to each other. The overall situation is extremely complicated.
The Huns were in the Fuluo period, and their overall strength was not as good as Mobei, let alone being greatly weakened now?
So Temujin''s actions to attack the three tribes in Mobei were simply like snakes swallowing elephants in Huchuquan''s eyes. The ending was naturally either trampled to death or swelling to death. So how could he watch Temujin bring the Huns into the pit?
Seeing Temujin still calm and composed, Hu Chuquan couldn''t help but feel a little suspicious. Could it be that Temujin was not blinded by victory, but thought about it?
Temujin''s mouth curled slightly, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he asked back, "I only said that I wanted to expand the results of the war. When did I say that I wanted to occupy his territory?"
Hu Qiu Qiu was stunned and then asked back: "If you don''t occupy the land and add the people, how can you expand your strength? If you don''t expand your strength, what''s the point of this battle?"
Hu Chuquan''s question revealed the doubts in everyone present, and they were also confused by Temujin.
Most people believe that the final goal of sending troops this time is to destroy the three clans, but now it seems that this is not the case.
What exactly does Shanyu want to do?
After seeing the expressions of everyone present, Temujin chuckled at Takabe and said, "Come on the map."
In the eyes of everyone, Zhebo slowly spread out a sketch of the power of the grassland.
This sketch was naturally drawn by Temujin, and it marked almost all the forces on the grassland. Among them, the Xianbei was the largest sphere of influence, followed by the Wuhuan. Although the Huns were severely weakened, they were still in the third place.
