In the end, only less than 20,000 cavalrymen of this small grassland tribe escaped from the camp, and even the Khan of this small grassland tribe died in the camp.
The Xianbei Khan Helai Heng, the Khitan Khan Yelu Rong and the Rouran Khan Husutu, who controlled the discourse power of the grassland coalition, were not surprised that the camps of the two small tribes were captured by the Han army.
However, the combat effectiveness displayed by the Han army's infantry still made the three khans a little frightened.
Xianbei Khan He Laiheng hesitated and said, "I think we should change our defensive strategy and provide some reinforcements to the camps of those small tribes.
We can't just stand by and watch the Han army demolish the camps of the various tribes!"
The Rouran Khan, Husutu, nodded. "I think it's a good idea. If the Han army continues to attack the camp of a certain small tribe, we, the Rouran, are willing to send 50,000 men to reinforce them."
Khitan Khan Yelu Rong then said: "We Khitans are also willing to send 50,000 people to support us."
Next, the four khans of the Turkic, Tiele, Baiqiang and Wuheng tribes also expressed their willingness to send troops to support the attacked camps of the small tribes on the grassland.
So when the Han army attacked the camp of the third grassland tribe, they encountered extremely stubborn resistance. Even when the sun set, the Han army failed to capture the camp.
Seeing this, Sun Hao had no choice but to order the more than 100,000 vanguard soldiers who were attacking the camp to retreat.
In the previous attack on the two grassland coalition camps, the Han army only lost more than 7,000 vanguard soldiers.
At the third camp of the grassland coalition, the Han army had paid the lives of more than 23,000 vanguard soldiers, but still could not capture the camp.
Seeing the Han army's failure in attacking the stronghold, the Xianbei Khan He Laiheng said excitedly: "It seems that the tactics we have formulated are correct. As long as we can delay the Han army for half a month, the armies of other ethnic groups should be able to arrive.
Then, we can start the final decisive battle with the Han army!"
The Rouran Khan Husutu said with some pride, "It seems that the Han army is just as I expected, and has not gathered many infantry to enter the grassland.
Judging from the current situation, we can easily delay the Han army for one or two months, let alone half a month."
