You should know that Emperor Dagan was also surrounded and killed because of his greed for merit and reckless behavior, but he was saved by Xue Da.
He became the emperor later. Why didn't Zhang Liao come to rescue him, but attacked those rear camps?
Thinking of this, the second prince began to hate Zhang Liao again.
A person's nature is difficult to change, and the second prince was like this. He was jealous of Lu Bu at the beginning.
Now he hates Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai, and it is the same, perhaps there has been some change on the surface.
But when the critical moment comes, the true thoughts are exposed.
"Pass the order down. This cavalry unit will immediately return to support the rear camp. The rest of the troops will continue to pursue the remaining cavalry from Dagan."
Following the order, half of the Xiongnu cavalry turned their horses and galloped back to support the rear camp, while the other half continued to pursue and intercept the Dagan cavalry.
The pressure on the Da Gan cavalry was also reduced accordingly, and many people took the opportunity to break out.
As for the person who attacked the Xiongnu rear camp, it was of course Zhang Liao. He led three thousand cavalrymen with leaves tied to their horses' tails.
They rushed back and forth, creating the illusion of countless cavalry attacks, which forced the Huns to withdraw.
As for why they didn't go to rescue the second prince, of course it was impossible. Three thousand people to attack the main force of the Xiongnu king?
It's unlikely to happen, and there's no need for it.
"It's almost time, let's go." Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Liao hurriedly led his cavalry to retreat to avoid encountering the main force of the Huns.
The grassland is vast and boundless, and retreat is not difficult as long as we are not blocked by the enemy.
After doing all this, Zhang Liao also began to gather the cavalry who had escaped.
It's not like he's running around like a headless fly.
With the help of Zhang Liao, only 20,000 of the 50,000 cavalrymen returned.
The other 30,000 elite soldiers all died on the battlefield because of the second prince.
"Thank you, General Zhang!" A cavalry commander bowed to Zhang Liao gratefully.
"If General Zhang hadn't rescued us in time, we would have been in great danger. It's a pity that the Second Prince... may have fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu."
When talking about the second prince being captured, there was no other expression.
He was a general from the Xueda faction and was transferred here by Emperor Dagan.
Naturally, they looked down on the Second Prince. He had suffered a defeat and many of his brothers had died. How could they possibly care about his life or death?
As for the Emperor's blame, we'll talk about it when the time comes.
The war isn't over yet, can we still withdraw these generals?
"Generals, please follow me back to the city and garrison there," Zhang Liao suggested. "At the same time, send a report back to the court regarding the battle situation for Your Majesty's decision."
Naturally, the generals had no objection. Although they had lost a lot of cavalry, they could still defend the border with a large number of infantry.
At this moment, Emperor Dagan also received the news in the court.
