Chapter 478: Disbandment
Xiongnu Bashan Prince's Camp
The news of the defeat on the front line was finally confirmed. According to the previous handling method of Prince Bashan, those dozen people died in vain.
Those people were the first to bring back the news that Boris's army had been defeated. In order to maintain the morale of the entire army, Prince Bashan arrested all those who said such things. The leaders were beheaded, and those who followed were whipped more than a dozen times.
The entire camp has become quiet, but it has been of no use in the past two days. There are constantly supply soldiers running back from the south. At the beginning there were only a few, but now there are hundreds of them.
Are we going to kill all these hundreds of people? That is impossible, not to mention that these people are Rakshasas, and Prince Bashan does not have such courage.
After questioning the third officer, Prince Bashan decided not to ask any further questions. There was nothing more to ask. It was an established fact that the army led by Boris was completely destroyed, including himself, who had been captured.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened. We just received a telegram. Our people in Fengtian have already seen the newspaper. There's a picture of Boris in the newspaper. It's a Junker newspaper. He's working in the prisoner-of-war camp..."
His men came in panting, and Prince Bashan almost fell down. Fortunately, the people next to him supported him. If he had fallen down, he might have hit his head.
Boris, that bastard, keeps saying there's no problem and we'll definitely be able to hold on. Is that what you mean by holding on? It's only been a few days, and he's already leading his men on a surprise attack. If all goes well, he'll even head south to Guanzhong...
You went south for nothing, you've gone straight into someone's prisoner-of-war camp!
"That bastard Boris has really screwed us over. What are you still standing there for? Order everyone to quickly remove the stakes and break camp..."
Prince Bashan slapped his forehead and said that now was not the time to waste time. They were only seven hundred miles away from the place where they were fighting. It was said that the Han army in the south was very fast. If they didn't run away quickly, they might be surrounded.
There are more and more planes in the sky these days. Before, there was at most one plane a day, but now there is one almost every hour. All signs indicate that their airport has made another leap into the grassland.
"Yes, yes, I'll be there right away."
His men were in a panic and quickly blew the assembly horn. Many Xiongnu generals in the surrounding area also came out of their tents. There were not many Rakshasa troops here, only about 1,500 people, but the Xiongnu troops were more numerous, with as many as 30,000 to 40,000 people.
In addition to the army, there are also a large number of accompanying personnel. These people are no longer very good at fighting and are greedy for enjoyment no matter where they go. A soldier must have at least one accompanying personnel, so if you want to break camp and head north, it is not so easy. It takes at least a few hours to prepare.
"What's going on?"
Prince Bashan was waiting for his men to dismantle the tent when he suddenly saw a pair of cavalrymen running towards the southwest.
"Your Highness, those are the people from the Tulehan tribe. They were well prepared and had fed their horses with plenty of fodder. As soon as you said we should move camp north, they just ran away. They're going to surrender to the Han people..."
After hearing this, the people behind him were not so timely this time, and Prince Bashan fell headfirst. Fortunately, there was no concrete ground on the grassland, otherwise even his face would have been rubbed raw.
"This damn bastard, send people to chase him. Even if I kill them all, I can't let them surrender to the Han people."
After Prince Bashan was helped up, he didn't care about the mud on his face and immediately gave the order to pursue. Several Rakshasa advisors next to him also nodded. There must be no deserters at this time. If there is the first one, there will be a second one, or even a hundred.
"But Your Majesty, we..."
"Hurry up and go in person."
Prince Bashan had lived a life of luxury for too long that he could not mount a warhorse, but he still understood this.
A tribe has at most more than a thousand people. Their escape will not have much substantial impact on the entire Xiongnu camp, but the political impact it will produce will put the entire Xiongnu camp in chaos.
When his subordinates saw the prince's ferocious look, they immediately swallowed the rest of their words and quickly took two thousand cavalry to chase him.
"Guard the entire camp. No one is allowed to go south without my order. Anyone who dares to charge will be killed."
Before getting on the carriage, Prince Bashan gave orders to his men, and five thousand cavalrymen rushed out quickly, forming a line of defense on the south side of the entire camp.
To be honest, if it weren't for Prince Bashan's order, one or two people from the tribe would probably have to go back. After all, their land was in the south, and they were getting farther and farther away from their land, so they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
According to their thinking, they were one country with the Han people for the past few hundred years, and only listened to the Russians in recent times. After the Han people came, they would not kill people everywhere like the Russians. We can have a good talk with them and still be able to survive.
But if they leave their tribe and go north, no one knows what the outcome will be. I heard from those who retreated that surrendering voluntarily and being forced to surrender are two completely different things.
When the entire camp of Bashan Web began to move north, Liu Xiaoshan's army was less than a hundred miles away from them. However, there were many streams and rivers in this area, so the marching speed was not fast, and they could only advance twenty miles per hour.
"Send a telegram to the Air Force, telling them to hold Prince Bashan's men tightly. As long as we defeat his men, the remaining Xiongnu people will be divided even if they want to follow Luosha."
After Liu Xiaoshan received the report from the Air Force, he immediately issued a new order. Prince Bashan was the new Khan of the Xiongnu Kingdom. Of course, this was just a private name. According to the Russians, he should be the president here.
As long as this guy's army is defeated, the remaining princes who follow the Rakshasa people will feel like they have been abandoned after their rabbit is dead, so we must not relax now. No matter how difficult it is, we must bite them down.
"Reporting to the commander, thirty-five kilometers to our left, the transport planes of the 3rd Air Regiment will carry out a second round of airdrops on us..."
Just as the last order was taken away, the next official document arrived...
