My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 32 Famous Scene

Forty-five thousand versus twenty thousand. This time the advantage is really on the Xiongnu, because the big flag with the word "Huo" on it still remains unchanged.

"Why didn't he come to help?!"

On the city wall, King Hunxie clenched his fists and stared at the developments on the battlefield, as if he was questioning Huo Qubing from a distance.

Seeing that the Han army was outnumbered and at a disadvantage.

The Xiongnu king was so furious that he was about to point and curse in the distance, but at this moment, he saw that King Xiutu's 40,000 troops were completely entangled with Li Guang's troops.

The banner with the word "Huo" on it is moving!

As fast as thunder and wind.

Twenty thousand cavalrymen approached rapidly from the rear of the battlefield, gradually forming a spearhead formation, and with flags as their guide, they fiercely cut into the right side of the Xiutu tribe.

That's where the defeated soldiers are!
——Huo Qubing chased the defeated soldiers all the way from the west to the east, and they were frightened and gathered by King Xiutu!
"what!"

"Hahaha!"

Still on the top of the city wall, King Hunxie looked at the many small tribes whose formations were broken by a flag, and instantly made a conclusion about this battle: "The Xiutu tribe will be defeated!"

"Good, good, good defeat!"

While laughing, King Hunxie hurried to the city, shouting, "Quick, gather the troops and rescue the Xiu Tu tribe!"

"We must not let the Han army eat up the Xiu Tu tribe. Also, tell the men not to rescue them until I give the order. What? Should we rescue them or not?"

“…Listen to my command!”

The Xiu Tu tribe needs to be rescued, but not too early.

The reason is that the Xiutu tribe must be defeated, but not too badly!
If the defeat is too tragic, the Han army may directly charge into the city, and King Hunxie will most likely be torn into pieces. He has already made his intentions clear...

He asked to live!

Saving the Xiutu tribe is equivalent to saving himself, so King Hunxie is very proactive. Then why can't he save them earlier?

It’s too early. The Xiutu tribe is still strong and King Hunxie feels very insecure.

And it was not conducive to his next proposal...

Outside King Xiutu's city.

There were wailings everywhere, and Huns were running around in panic everywhere, with shouts of killing getting louder and louder.

"retreat!"

"Retreat to the city!"

King Xiutu, who had left the city with full confidence as if he was going to hand in a report of "great defeat", was now filled with shame and anger.

While personally covering the retreat, he ordered his troops to retreat into the city.

The Han army, however, was relentless and pursued the enemy relentlessly. Arrows flew in the air and nearly hit King Xiu Tu several times, forcing him to retreat continuously.

Every step of retreat means that hundreds of troops outside the city will be blocked and die tragically outside the city.

King Xiutu was extremely anxious, but could only rage helplessly. He kept waving his scimitar to block the incoming spears and arrows.

At a critical moment...

"withdraw!"

"King Xiutu, retreat. I will provide your cover!" King Hunxie, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out from the side and led thousands of cavalrymen to join the precarious formation.

"The army is already demoralized. We can't continue to fight. Let's go!"

King Xiu Tu did not care about the other party's change of temper. On the battlefield, every second counted. He had no time to be polite and immediately turned his horse around:
"it is good!"

As soon as King Xiutu left... King Hunxie turned around and ran away with his troops.

As for those troops left behind outside the city.

Bless yourself.

This battle started with King Xiutu's full confidence and ended with his defeat and escape into the city, but it was far from over.

After killing the enemies outside the city, the Han army immediately launched a large-scale attack on the city!
The fighting lasted from dusk to night without a break, until the light disappeared, and the Han army retreated...

night.

In King Xiu Tu’s tent.

Two figures were engaging in a heated verbal exchange.

"What!?"

After fighting for a whole day, King Xiutu, whose leather armor was still stained with blood, was stunned and stared at King Hunxie in astonishment.

If the other party had not just left the city to support him once, King Xiutu would have drawn his sword and killed him on the spot!
This time it's a real blow, not just angry words.

"King Hunxie, are you stupid? We lost the battle, but so what? If we can't win, we can just ask for help. Is there any need to surrender to the Han court?"

That's right. Surrendering to the Han was the way that King Hunxie had thought of for a long time to save himself.

If Chanyu Yizhixie wanted to kill him, in today's world, the Wuhuan, Xianbei and Fuyu in the east could not be protected, and the countries in the Western Regions in the west could not be protected even more.

Only the Han Dynasty in the south can do it!
After Junchen Chanyu died, Yizhixie defeated Junchen Chanyu's son, Yushan, and proclaimed himself Chanyu.

And that Yu Shan fled to the Han Dynasty to avoid disaster!
With this precedent, King Hunxie asked himself, why couldn't he follow suit?

As soon as the idea came into being, it took root in the mind and finally became deeply ingrained, even creating the famous scene of "Han army is in danger, and Hunxie is in a hurry".

As for the revenge for killing one's son, compared with losing one's own life, which is more important?
Furthermore, King Hunxie has many sons...

Back to the present.

Facing King Xiu Tu's questioning, King Hun Xie stamped his feet in anger, looking like he was disappointed with his friend, and said anxiously:

"Am I stupid or are you stupid? Don't you know that the Chanyu has long wanted to annex us? After being defeated and asking for help, will you ask for reinforcements or war?!"

Hear this.

King Xiu Tu's face turned pale and blue, and he stared at King Hun Xie for a long time before he said coldly, "That doesn't mean you have to surrender!"

"There are still small tribes under your jurisdiction in the west, and many of your own troops have been lost. If we gather them together, we may be able to fight against the Han army!"

Yes.

It does.

King Hunxie thought to himself, but those were all based on the situation before the death of the Chanyu's son, so anything he said now would be false.

Even if he defeated the Han people, the Great Chanyu would still kill him!

perhaps.

The one who will take action then will be you, King Xiu Tu!
Although he was thinking this, King Hunxie said, "Fight? Will the Han people give you time to slowly gather your people to fight?"

He pointed outside the tent and asked, "The reason why we failed to attack the city today is that we don't have siege equipment. When the Han army builds siege equipment tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, do you think we can defend the broken city left by the Yuezhi people?"

King Xiutu's face became increasingly ugly. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to start. He knew that what the other party said was true.

If the Han army attacks again, I will probably not be able to defend...

King Hunxie took a step forward and continued to rub salt into the wounds of King Xiutu, whose face had changed color.

"You have lost at least tens of thousands of troops today. The morale in the city is low. Negotiating surrender with the Han army at this time, even if you regret it in the end, can still help delay the time!"

"You think I want to surrender?"

"The Han army killed my son. I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood, but the situation is like this. What can I do?"

"If you don't think about yourself, you should think about the tens of thousands of men! Are they willing to die?"

After experiencing a great defeat, King Xiutu was already confused and panicked. King Hunxie spoke quickly and urgently, not giving him any chance to think.

For a while.

King Xiu Tu was in a state of panic, and only kept his last bit of vigilance, and asked coldly: "Then why don't you surrender yourself?"

"I won't hide it from you!"

King Hunxie was well prepared and blurted out: "I want to take you with me to surrender to the Han court. With the troops of the two of us, we can negotiate a good deal with the Han court!"

"It's even better than the nomadic life we ​​have now. I heard that the Han people..."

He wanted to say more, but King Xiu Tu was already dizzy from listening, and quickly waved his hand: "Stop! Let me think about this matter again..."

"There's no time!"

King Hunxie acted anxious, growled, and stepped tightly, "At dawn tomorrow, the Han army will attack the city. If we want to mediate, we have tonight!"

"How about this? I'll send someone to talk to the Han army first to buy time. I can regret it later, right?"

"If you keep procrastinating, tomorrow you and I will lose our heads..."

"Row!"

In the face of life and death crisis, King Xiu Tu waved his hand and said irritably: "Okay, I'll do as you say first, and I'll consider it later."

This is what King Hunxie was waiting for. He quickly said a few words to comfort her and turned around to make arrangements...

Wait until people leave.

The king's tent finally became quiet.

King Xiutu took off his bloody leather armor, sat on a chair, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, and his irritated expression gradually faded away.

After sitting there for a while and clearing his mind, he thought back to what happened today and King Hunxie's long speech earlier, and there was always a sense of disharmony.

A moment of silence.

Xiutu Wang Chao ordered outside the tent: "Come here, go and call Riti..."
