As night fell, the Huns had to stop their attack and retreat a few miles to set up camp.

The Wei army continued to maintain its previous appearance. The side carriages were used as formations during war and as camps during leisure time. When it was time to camp at night, the side carriages could be used as fences during the camp to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks at night.

Liu Meng was indeed thinking of launching a sneak attack at night. After the Huns camped and rested, Liu Meng sent scouts to inquire about the situation in the Wei army's camp. If the Wei army withdrew their side carriages at night, Liu Meng would not mind launching a sneak attack at night.

of.

However, what the scouts found out made Liu Meng very disappointed. The Wei army did not remove the side carriages at all, but continued to use the side carriages as a barrier, and the troops inside fell asleep peacefully.

Since there was no gap to take advantage of, Liu Meng gave up the idea of ​​a sneak attack at night. The sidecar formation could not be broken during the day. Even if he tried to sneak attack at night, the result would be the same.

There was no other way, so Liu Meng had no choice but to wait for Liu Bao and Liu Teng's troops to arrive before discussing a solution.

But this can only be a kind of self-comfort. Just imagine, even Liu Meng himself can't do anything, how can Liu Bao and Liu Teng, who have not been positive in the first place, come up with any good solutions.

The Wei army could not have had a better night's rest. Except for a part of the army staying in the side carriage to guard against the Huns' sneak attack, the rest of the army fell asleep easily. Sufficient rest allowed them to recharge their batteries.

Be sharp and throw yourself into the major counterattack at any time.

The circle formed by the sidecars was large enough to accommodate all the men and horses of the Pingbei Army. Even soldiers from many battalions did not have to sleep in the wild and could set up tents and rest inside.

Such a relaxed and comfortable battle was unheard of and unseen. Cao Liang was waiting for the opportunity. After all, it had only been a day of fighting. Even if the Huns were disappointed, they were far from desperate. When their attacks were repeatedly frustrated,

When morale plummets and there is no more fighting spirit, the Wei army has the best opportunity to launch a counterattack.

At this moment, the Huns were like a big fish that had just bitten the hook. They could not advance, retreat, attack, or defend.

On the second day, Liu Bao and Liu Teng's troops were finally late. After all, it was only such a long way from Jinyang to Dongguan. No matter how much Liu Bao and Liu Teng delayed, there would always be limits.

It can't go on forever.

Liu Bao had known the news about Liu Meng's encounter with Wei Jun in Dongguan for a long time, but the more so, the less anxious Liu Bao was. It was Liu Meng's business to recover Qi County, and there was no need for Liu Bao to catch up with his only remaining achievements.

He took the approach of watching the fire from afar, preparing to wait until the Wei army and Liu Meng fought to the death, and then step forward to clean up the mess.

Originally thinking that Liu Meng and the Wei army had been fighting for a day, and even if they couldn't decide the winner, they were at least close to each other, so Liu Meng slowly and leisurely rushed to Dongguan.

However, the scene in front of him shocked him extremely. In his impression, in the battle between him and Wei Jun at Laoye Ridge, Wei Jun had never dispatched such a strange chariot at all. It had only been a few days.

, the Wei army actually built such a large number of chariots, and used these chariots to completely block the Huns' attack.

Liu Meng had no choice, and Liu Bao naturally had no choice. Although the Huns' army had all arrived, the battle situation did not change with the increase in the number of the Huns. Facing the iron wall-like formation of sidecars,

, all of them are helpless.

The battle still had to be fought, but this kind of hopeless battle greatly affected morale. When they attacked Jinyang before, they were also defeated repeatedly, but the Huns never gave up hope, so they could fight to the end.

But dealing with the sidecar formation was like a nightmare for the Huns. They kept attacking, but there was no hope of breaking the formation. Disappointment spread among the army. Gradually, disappointment

It became despair.

Although the armies of Liu Bao and Liu Teng also participated in the battle, in order to maintain their strength, Liu Bao and Liu Teng did not work hard at all. Although they also sent troops to join the offensive, they only tried to stop it. Even the right Xiongnu and the central Xiongnu

Liu Bao and Liu Teng would not lose their troops in vain because the enemy's position could not be taken down by both Xiongnu armies with all their strength.

Faced with this dilemma, Liu Teng made a suggestion, which was to retreat back to Jiuyuan of the Huns in the north.

Now four of the five Xiongnu camps have fallen, and the only one that has survived is the northern Xiongnu camp far away in Jiuyuan, and Jiuyuan has become the only hope for the Huns.

Because even if the cities of the Dalingzi clan in Qi County were recaptured, it would be impossible to recover the Huns' losses. The more meaning of seizing the cities was just for revenge.

But if they want to take revenge, it seems that God does not give them a chance. Facing the iron-walled array of sidecars, revenge is already an out-of-reach wish.

Liu Meng did not count the number of casualties in his army, but just the corpses of people and horses scattered on the ground showed how heavy the Huns' casualties were.

If the battle continues, it is very likely that all the Huns' troops will be lost. The Battle of Dongguan is like a bottomless pit, and no amount of troops is enough to fill it.

Liu Teng's suggestion quickly received Liu Bao's response. Although Liu Meng promised to continue marching to recover the Zi family after regaining Daling in Qi County, he has not even captured Qi County, let alone recovered the Zi family.

What's more, even if the Zi family is recaptured, so what? Preserving strength is the most important thing now. Recovering an empty city is only symbolic at most and has no substance.

But even this symbolic meaning could not be taken away. The Huns were completely defeated in the Battle of Dongguan.

Faced with Liu Teng's proposal to withdraw his troops, Liu Meng naturally refused without hesitation and withdrew his troops back to Jiuyuan. From then on, Liu Meng had to live a life of dependence on others, as a man who aspired to be a Chanyu and unify the Huns.

It's hard for people to lose face by retreating in such a dejected manner.

In order to prove that the Wei army's sidecar formation could be defeated, Liu Meng summoned all his troops again and launched another attack. However, the result was self-evident. In addition to the corpses on the ground, the sidecar formation

The formation was still unshakable, Liu Meng could only bear the pain of another defeat, and his firm confidence gradually collapsed at this moment.
