Chapter 516 Escape to Bingzhou
Just when Brodon was feeling complacent, he suddenly received the news that Yutsov was defeated and died in battle. Once Yutsov died, it was equivalent to the fact that the Huns' defense line in the south was no longer unstoppable.
Sure enough, after the defeated troops under Yu Tsov had just escaped, the garrison cavalry, led by Shi Bao, had already pressed forward heavily, blocking Brodon's escape route.
Brodon couldn't help but secretly shout that it was terrible. Such a situation was not what he wanted to see. Brodon immediately ordered an all-out breakout. The longer he stayed here, the more dangerous it would be.
However, the experienced Shi Bao did not give him any chance. Shi Bao knew that Brodon was in a trapped beast, so he did not engage in a head-on confrontation with the Huns, but adopted a slightly retreating method.
, strengthened the protection of the depth, making Brodon's attack almost impossible to move forward as if it hit a copper wall.
At this time, the battle in the north was coming to an end, so Cao Liang mobilized some cavalry from the Yueqi battalion to join Yang Hu's troops in the pursuit.
Originally, Yang Hu's infantry could not match the speed of the cavalry, but after receiving the reinforcements of 500 cavalry from the Yueqi Battalion, they were finally able to speed up. The Yueqi Battalion lived up to expectations and arrived quickly.
At this time, the Huns were unable to open up the situation. They were blocked in front and pursued by soldiers, and they quickly fell into a desperate situation.
If there was a chance of survival, the Huns would definitely try to break out, but after the road was blocked, the position of these Huns immediately changed. Most of them surrendered and no longer resisted.
This itself has nothing to do with Cao Liang's order, but has a lot to do with the living habits of the Huns. Strictly speaking, they have no loyal objects, and the so-called commanders may not be able to convince the masses, so they are fighting to the death.
Most of the Huns refused to struggle.
Brodon was a little anxious. As a leader, he still had great power in the tribe. Among the southern Huns, his status was second only to the commander. If he surrendered to the Wei people,
Being reduced to a prisoner, these riches and nobles have become a fleeting smoke.
It's nothing for ordinary Huns to surrender. Anyway, their status is relatively low. It doesn't matter whether they surrender or not. They may become prisoners. For them, there is nothing surprising.
But Brodon was very unwilling to do so. He tried his best to fight his way out and left in despair.
After all, although the morale of the cavalry battalion was high, it was still lacking in technical and tactical aspects. Brodon took advantage of this gap and chose his life.
The Battle of Xiliulin finally came to an end. Half of the more than 10,000 Xiongnu troops were annihilated and half were captured. Those who could escape were only Liu Yue and a few hundred cavalrymen from Brodong District. Liu Yue's
Of the four big-headed men, except for Brodong, one was captured and two were killed. The southern Huns were almost completely destroyed.
The Wei army fought very hard in this battle, especially before the Yueqi battalion and the Tunqi battalion returned for reinforcements. Facing the crazy offensive of the Huns cavalry, the Wei army infantry was under great pressure.
Fortunately, all the units of the Wei army withstood the test and performed with style. In the end, after the Yueqi battalion and Tunqi battalion returned for reinforcements, the infantry and cavalry cooperated internally and externally, and won the entire battle neatly.
This made Cao Liang very happy. After all, before the battle began, the only one Cao Liang could trust was the Yueqi Battalion. After the other four battalions were divided, Cao Liang actually had no idea whether they could complete the mission.
However, in actual combat, Cao Liang was pleasantly surprised to find that the third infantry battalion did not fall behind in the confrontation with the Huns cavalry. They made full use of various conditions to block the Huns cavalry and achieved very good results.
The growth of an army is inseparable from actual combat. Only in actual combat can a king's division be tempered and things learned that can never be learned on the training ground.
Cao Liang believed that after this battle, the five schools of the Northern Army could grow up quickly. The experience of this battle had benefited them a lot, and it would be an inexhaustible wealth.
Compared to the Third Infantry Battalion, Cao Liang was even more surprised by the Tunqi Battalion. Although they were a little later than the Yueqi Battalion, with the combat power of the Tunqi Battalion, they were able to completely defeat the Huns army of Tsofu.
It was really not a small surprise for Cao Liang.
Cao Liang never dared to have high hopes for this cavalry team, which was composed entirely of new recruits. After all, he had personally trained the Yue Cavalry Battalion and knew how difficult it was to build an outstanding cavalry team.
However, under Shi Bao's training, it was not easy for the Tunqi Battalion to achieve such good results in the face of the powerful Huns cavalry. Cao Liang believed that as long as there were several more battles of similar scale, the Tunqi Battalion would surely win.
He will grow up quickly and become his right-hand man along with Yue Qiying.

For Liu Yue, this was a disastrous day. Raising 10,000 cavalry had already drained the southern Xiongnu's wealth. Originally, Liu Yue was very ambitious and wanted to flex his muscles in the Hedong area and create a foundation.
But in the Battle of Xiliulin, he completely wiped out the Huns in the south in one day. It was not easy for him to come back with his own life.
Only five or six hundred horsemen escaped with Liu Yue. Tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers, including Mengdu, were lost and trapped in the rebel army. Thinking about the brutality of the battle, Liu Yue was still frightened.
After temporarily escaping the pursuit of the Wei army, Liu Yue sent people to search to see if any remaining Huns troops had escaped. With Liu Yue's current strength, it was impossible to gain a foothold in Puzi.
Soon Brodong led a remnant of three to two hundred men to this secret stronghold to join Liu Yue. Apart from Brodong's army, no one from the Huns could escape.
Brodon said to Liu Yue: "Commander, this is not a place where we can stay for a long time. We should make plans early."
Liu Yue sighed and said: "The sky is so big and the earth is so big, where is our place?"
Brodong said: "Commander, we can't stay here. It's better to go north and join Bingzhou. Maybe we can have a chance of survival."
The five Xiongnu tribes are independent of each other. If it were not for such a disastrous defeat, Liu Yue would not defect to others. But under the current situation, not defecting to the other four tribes would be a dead end, so Liu Yue could only sigh.
Chapter completed!
