In the Battle of Mobei, the Han army sent 140,000 war horses, and less than 30,000 came back, and th

Of the 140,000 horses in the Battle of Mobei, less than 30,000 returned, and the remaining more than 100,000 were mostly killed on the battlefield, and in the desert area, the horses themselves did not adapt to the climate and were easy to die.

Around 122 BC, the Xiongnu continued to harass the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty sent troops to attack the Xiongnu, after the battle of Henan and Hexi, the strength of the Xiongnu was not as good as before, and there were also differences within the Xiongnu, some wanted to continue the war, and some wanted to return to the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty decided not to do two endlessly, directly launched a war to exterminate the Xiongnu, in order to prevent future troubles, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to use the most powerful general to defeat the Xiongnu, so let Huo Qubing as the main sharp knife, Wei Qing as the general to pacify the Xiongnu.

In this battle, the 100,000 army led by Wei Qing first encountered Yizhi Xian Danyu, Wei Qing changed his previous defensive strategy and took the initiative to attack, and the advanced machine bed crossbow of the Han Dynasty came in handy. And Huo Quzhi's team of soldiers and horses decisively changed the direction of the march, and encountered the reinforcements of the Huns.

In this battle, the Han Dynasty achieved a very large victory, but this victory was not reflected in the number of troops that returnedInstead, it recovered the fertile land of the Xiongnu in the south, and in this war, the Han army sent out 140,000 horses, but less than 30,000 returnedThe rest were almost all killed.

Huo Quai's troops were killed in battle, and more than 70,000 Xiongnu were killed at the cost of 10,000 people. And the Weiqing troops faced the main force of the HunsThe Han Dynasty army narrowly won and suffered very heavy losses.

This war directly caused the Xiongnu to lose 100,000 troops, and the Xiongnu lost their main force, so they could only go to the barren land, and never had the opportunity to invade the Han again.

In this battle, the Xiongnu lost more than 90,000 people, and the Han army lost tens of thousands, which greatly dampened the spirit of the Xiongnu, but the Han army lost more than 100,000 war horses, which means that less than 40,000 war horses returned.

With so many losses, it will definitely not be said that they were all killed in battle, in that case, the combat effectiveness is too poor, it is estimated that some of them were killed, some were captured, and some of them fled.

It should be that the Weiqing army faced the main force of the Xiongnu, and the Han Dynasty army narrowly won and wiped out more than 19,000 people, while the losses of the Han army were also considerable.

In fact, I think many of them died in battle, and some of them may have been deserted or captured, and as a soldier, it is also glorious to die on the battlefield.

Most of them were killed in battle, and some were captured by the enemy as prisoners, so there were very few left.

What does it mean to ask such a question?! The war horses of the Han army should be mainly dying of illness and exhaustion. After all, the combat effectiveness of the elite Han army is no longer comparable to that of the Huns!

This war was of great significance, causing the Xiongnu to lose 100,000 troops, destroying most of the main Xiongnu army, driving the Xiongnu to barren lands, and bringing peace to the Han Dynasty.

Most of them should have died in battle, and the rest died due to environmental discomfort or their own illness. However, the Han army also captured a lot, and Wei Qing obtained a million head of cattle and sheep alone, including horses.

In battle, some of them died in battle, and some of them must have fled, and everyone will run away, and of course horses will run away.

Most of them were killed in battle, and some were captured by the enemy. You must know that in ancient times, war horses were very important strategic materials.

Some were killed in battle, and some were taken prisoner by the enemy. This is very common on the battlefield.

Most of them ate, and when they came back, there was no food, only horses.

Was it eaten by soldiers,

In the Battle of Mobei, the Han Dynasty sent 140,000 troops, and the number of returning troops did not reach 30,000. In this expedition, both sides suffered heavy losses, but in terms of population, the losses of the Xiongnu were relatively large.

In this battle, the Han army lost about 20,000 people and a large number of war horses, but they still won and it was worth it.

At that time, the decisive battle between the two sides was the national strength, the early Han Dynasty through the governance of Wenjing and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the country accumulated abundant wealth and resources through decades of governance, and only then did it have the capital to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu were already won.

The Han army probably killed about 110,000 people, which shows how fierce this war was.

Sima Qian deliberately belittled Wei Huo's military exploits, especially Wei Qing, a high-powered and low-born relative. Wei Qing set a precedent for the Han to take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu and win. The battle plan of Mobei was that Huo Qubing led the elite of the Han army against the main force of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, but in fact, Wei Qing was lost by Li Guang and other troops and could not meet against the main force of the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

Wei Qing is worthy of being a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and defeated the main force of the Huns in the north in a battle. Sima Qian only recorded the losses of the Han army, but did not describe the Han army's capture of millions of Xiongnu cattle and horses in the Battle of Mobei. The significance of the Battle of Mobei was not only military; The political influence is more far-reaching, Wei Huo Er will become a military general of all dynasties, and his life pursuit will be a wolf Juxu; The Battle of Mobei directly destroyed the economic foundation of the Xiongnu people's livelihood, leading to the decline of the Xiongnu.

Less than 30,000 came back, and there were more than 100,000 of them. According to historical records, Huo Quai's army lost 10,000 people, and the Xiongnu lost more than 90,000 people, but the Han army lost more than 100,000 war horses, and it is difficult to estimate how much the Han army lost in terms of numbers.

Although the losses were heavy, it was also a complete victory, and the Han Dynasty paid too much for this war.

The ** of the Han army was actually as high as 100,000 at that time. But the ** of the Huns was greater. This played a huge role in the later pacification of the Xiongnu.

The Han army had almost 100,000 people, this is a real history, and it was indeed the case at that time.

The losses of the Han army were more than 10,000 and less than 30,000. After this war, the Xiongnu never regained their previous national strength and could no longer compete with the Han Dynasty.

The losses of the Han army were still huge, after all, it was not easy to go on the expedition, and there were too many soldiers who were not accustomed to the soil and water.

Losses in battle, non-combat factors, such as the loss of long-distance travel, the poisoning of the Huns, and the difficulty of supply, etc., the losses of the Han army were more than 10,000 and less than 30,000.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent 50,000 troops to fight against the Huns, and brought 140,000 war horses with him. However, due to the very fierce war between the two sides, the losses of both sides were very large. The Han army won the war, but also lost more than 100,000 horses.

The Huns, on the other hand, were even more miserable, losing not only horses, but also many generals. After this war, Emperor Wu of Han completely solved the problem of the Xiongnu's invasion of the border.

The Battle of Mobei was the result of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for ten years, and finally achieved a great victory under the command of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, but the Han Dynasty was also miserable

At that time, the most powerful troops of the Han army were severely damaged because of this, and they have not slowed down. Heavy casualties.
