The winter on the steppe is unusually cold, with dark skies and goose-feather snow.

In just one night, the ground was ankle-length, crunching as it went.

Every time winter comes, it is the beginning of a disaster for the steppe peoples.

War horses, cattle and sheep that have been raised for a year will quickly lose weight this winter.

There is no livestock shed of the Central Plains Dynasty to shelter it from the wind and rain, and there is no shelter everywhere.

For the grassland peoples, wintering is a group of people getting together to get together and hug each other to get through this difficulty.

Without any shelter, it is difficult for the herds of cattle, sheep and horses to survive this winter.

So their home is a shed built by the herders either out of stone, wood, and hay before the onset of winter.

This kind of temporary shed can only barely block the wind and snow, basically every year there will be a shed collapsed by the snow, and then a large number of cattle and sheep die, if the snow is bigger, the tent will collapse, directly bring casualties.

Located in the northern part of the Han Realm, more than 1,000 miles away, in the Xiongnu Wangting Dragon City, a team of cavalry is slowly approaching.

For them, early winter is not unbearable.

Today's Xiongnu is also a process of self-confidence accumulation.

The leader is the star of the Huns today, the Sulu clan.

In the early years, the Su Yu clan was not taken seriously, and was sent to the Yue clan by Tou Mandan Yu to make a proton, and later Tou Mandan disregarded the safety of the Yu clan and rashly sent troops to attack the Yue clan.

The Yue clan was so angry that he wanted to kill him, and then the Yu clan took advantage of the chaos to escape and return to the Xiongnu.

Tou Manshan Yu felt that maybe it was because the Su Yu clan didn't deserve to die, or maybe it was because he thought that he could come back alive to show that there was a bonus of luck.

So he happily gave him 10,000 soldiers and horses.

The Zodiac Clan, who got the soldiers and horses, began to work hard, and when they attacked the Yue Clan, they won many battles.

Tou Manshan Yu was very happy that his son finally had a person who could fight.

Under the southern conquest and northern war of the Sulu clan, the speed of the unification of the Xiongnu was accelerated.

However, now, the Su Yu clan has made a very dangerous move, which makes Tou Manshan very dissatisfied.

So he recruited the outside of the Sulpping Clan, intending to reprimand him harshly and teach him some lessons.

Entering the royal court's big tent, the Su Yu clan quietly glanced at Mandanyu with cold eyes, and then saluted in a proper manner.

However, the head man in the tent did not notice the abnormality of the Su Yu clan.

"Who told you to attack the Yue Clan?" Tou Mandan asked in a more cold tone.

"The king of Han sent an envoy to the Yueshi, and the king of the Yueshi promised to give them 300,000 war horses, if they did not take the opportunity to attack the Yueshi, and when the Han had enough cavalry, the advantage of the Xiongnu would no longer exist." The Clan's tone was flat.

"Your attack this time, can you stop the Yue Clan's war horse for the Han Kingdom? Tell me how much you seized? Tou Manshan said sarcastically.

"Naturally not, but we must always teach the Yueshi people a lesson, this time nearly 10,000 war horses and more than 200,000 cattle and sheep were seized." He said.

"These are at most painful for the Yue's people, if you do this, it will make them speed up their defection to the Han Kingdom, and who asked you to send troops to the border of the Han Kingdom?" Tou Manshan Yu continued to ask.

"Sending troops to the border of the Han State is to attract the attention of the Han State, so that they cannot focus on the side of the Yue Clan, and prepare for our offensive in the spring, if the Han army is also involved, I am afraid that our plan to exterminate the Yue Clan people will not go smoothly." The Zodiac Clan explained without any confusion.

'Smack......'

Tou Man threw the knife in his hand on the plate with a crisp sound.

There are so many reasons why he is angry.

Without his own orders, the Tsukiyo clan launched an offensive against the Yue clan without authorization.

And the original plan was to attack the Yueshi after the beginning of spring.

In the same way, without his own orders, the Su clan also sent troops to the border of the Han State without authorization.

The best thing to say is to attract the attention of the Han State and prepare for the attack on the Yueshi in the coming year.

But isn't this attracting the attention of the Han Kingdom?

The King of Han was able to defeat the Qin court in just a few years and dominate the Xia, how could he be that mediocre person?

Isn't the intention of sending the Yue clan north to beg for war horses obvious?

The king of Han had already noticed the situation in the north and was about to make arrangements here.

At this time, the Xiongnu's top priority should be to complete the unification before the Han State is ready, and then go south before their cavalry is formed.

In Touman's eyes, this behavior of the Su Yu clan would only accelerate the preparation of the Han Kingdom.

Saying that he has no brains is only one of them, after all, he is his own child, and it is certain that he will be angry, but he will not be like an enemy.

However, what made Tou Manshan dissatisfied the most was this.

In the eyes of Touman Shan Yu, this series of behaviors of the Su Yu clan is challenging his prestige as Shan Yu.

Originally, only Shan Yu could make a decision, but now he did it himself, not only did it, but also let him do it.

There were now less than 30,000 men under his command, and in Toumandanyu's opinion, his hand could not reach anywhere else.

But he really reached out and asked the other tribes to cooperate with him in doing this.

And this also made Tou Manshan feel a deep sense of crisis.

This is also the main reason for the recall of the Zodiac Clan.

"Attack the Yueshi, arouse the vigilance of the Han State, the Donghu people will not be invisible, your action, the next year will definitely bring a huge disaster to the Huns, next year's offensive, I don't think it can be carried out, you don't go back yet, stay and help me resist the offensive of the Donghu people!" Tou Manshan Yu glanced at the Yu clan, and said in a relaxed and peaceful tone.

"Yes!" The Clans weren't surprised.

Tou Manshan Yu's words can be regarded as face-saving, but when he peels off his coat, the essence of this sentence is to take away the military power in the hands of the Su Yu clan.

Because he was prepared, he didn't panic at all.

His accumulation over the years is not from paddling, the men on the grassland are naturally respected by the strong, and his own merits are enough to suppress those people.

Therefore, it was natural for the Tou Mandan clan to follow Tou Mandanyu's orders.

And at this moment, Tou Manshan Yu was stunned there, so he agreed?

You don't want to resist?

If you are unhappy in your heart, can you scold for two sentences?

You don't resist or scold, and you don't show dissatisfaction, what should I do?

The fighting power of the Su Yu clan made Tou Manshan reluctant to give up, but he didn't want to watch him continue to grow bigger.

Therefore, Tou Mandan's original intention was to reduce the forces in the hands of the Tou Mandan, and the goal was to make him only 10,000 people.

First take it all back temporarily, the Su Yu clan resisted, and when he was let go after a while, he would take back 20,000 people permanently, perfect!

But......

However, before Tou Manshan Yu came back to his senses, the Su Yu clan continued to say respectfully: "Da Shan Yu, this time I captured a set of Han army equipment when I attacked the Yue people, it is said that it was left by the Han State when he sent the Yue Clan, this thing is invulnerable, and the arrows can't even leave a trace......

"What?" Tou Manshan couldn't help but be surprised.

Han Kingdom actually has such a thing?

Invulnerable?

How is this possible?

If there is, then what is next?

I slammed and slammed the operation, it was a knife and a bow and arrow, and I was tired of chopping myself, and then the enemy still stood there unmoved, looking at you and laughing, and then came over with a knife to complete the counter-kill?

"I've already brought this thing here, but the place in the tent is too small to display, and I ask the big order to move outside the tent and see it for yourself." The Schuck Clan still maintained a humble posture and said.

"Let's go, take a look!" Tou Manshan nodded immediately.

The group came to the outside of the tent, even if this is the grassland, even if this is the royal court, but in winter, the deployment here is still very intensive.

Tou Manshan Yu touched the cold armor with a shocked face, and his whole body seemed to be made of iron?

What surprised him the most was that only the eyes were exposed on the helmet, and it was a very thin slit.

After walking around, I found that the only weakness of this armor was the eyes.

The only way for them to deal with an enemy in this armor is to shoot them in the eye with a bow and arrow.

And people can move, even if they stand there and let them shoot, it is difficult to shoot, let alone a moving target, whether they can shoot or not is a matter of probability.

It's just that Tou Man Shan Yu has a very strange feeling, why does this suit of armor look so awkward?

I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong.

"Da Danyu, I think we should go outside the camp, ride a war horse and try it with the combat methods of our prairie boys, so that it can more truly reflect its toughness." Standing in front of a pair of black Han army armor, the Su Yu clan continued to instigate.

'Bang ......'

Touman Shan Yu drew his scimitar and slashed at the armor, leaving only a white trail on it, and the only thing left except for the traces was the sound of the steel colliding.

"Bring the war horse to ......," Tou Mandan immediately decided to try it with mounted archery.

The advantage of the steppe people is that they are riding and shooting, and the requirements and difficulty of riding and shooting are much more difficult than fighting with a knife.

Seeing Tou Man Shan Yu riding on the war horse, the Su Yu clan, who had remained humble all the way, finally smiled.

The head man of the war horse shot several arrows in succession, and the arrows hit different parts, but they were all bounced off without exception.

And just when he was shocked, the Swift Clan quietly took out his bow and arrows, as well as a special arrow.

'Whoosh ......'

A special arrow that made a sound suddenly shot at Toumandanyu.

Tou Manshan Yu looked at the Su Yu clan with anger on his face, and his body also subconsciously made evasive actions.

Dodging arrows is also a specialty of grassland boys.

However......

'Whoosh ......'

The hundreds of people brought by the Zodiac also took out their bows and arrows at the same time, and quickly shot towards the Clan.

And the prairie boy standing on the ground, the arrow shot with greater force, more stability, and more accuracy.

In the face of hundreds of arrows, Tou Manshan had no chance to dodge at all, and instantly became a hedgehog full of arrows.

"You ......"
