Chapter 11 The Current Situation of the Northern Xiongnu
Since Qianghu and Xianbei were killed and dispersed, he led the Northern Xiongnu soldiers all the way north, and continued to collect the rout of Qianghu and Xianbei along the way, he was not worried that the Han family would chase and kill them, because the Han family did not know how many men and horses they came to the Northern Xiongnu, where the march went, and it was likely that they would be surrounded and killed by rashly pursuing in the case of insufficient troops, and judging from the information he collected about the Han generals, the possibility of chasing them was very low and very low.
Riding on horseback with a pair of gnawed jerky is in a very bad mood, since he can remember, their Northern Xiongnu clan has been invincible in the Western Regions, and the rest of the same powerful empire is also respectful to them, as a proud and wise Huns, after listening to the style of the Han-Hun war for more than 20 years in the older generation of Hun warriors, if there is no idea of winning in the mind, it can't.
And the first attack was very successful, although there was an element of carelessness in the Han family, but they broke the side fortress in one breath and broke through to a big city, under the walls of Wuwei, and even in the planning of the Emperor, as long as he had a little more strength, he could even take this fortified city in one fell swoop!
For the first time, it was the first time he remembered the goal he had worked so hard for in his childhood: to restore the glory of the Huns! After that, I thought it was possible, and it seemed that it wasn't that hard.
Then he was slapped in the face, according to Lan Zhan's description, the battle ratio between the black cavalry of the Han family and their Northern Hun warriors could reach more than one to two! This is the elite of the Huns who really crisscross the countries of the Western Regions, you must know that in ordinary training, the ratio of the strongest Hun guards to the elite of the Huns is only one to two.
The biggest problem now is how many such strong soldiers there are in the Han family, if there are 50,000 or 60,000, you don't have to fight, go home early to wash and sleep. His Hun guards are only 8,000, how can this be fought? However, the combat effectiveness shown by the Han army that rushed out of Wuwei City is very reasonable, under his command, two times the Xianbei men and horses can be dragged down, three times can be a draw, and five times can be sent to the opposite side to the west!
But now the Xiongnu are no longer monolithic, although the Huyan clan supported by the elderly Xiongnu is still sitting in a single position, but because of the strong advocacy to stay in the Western Regions, Xianbei and other regions in the hope of restoring the former glory of the Xiongnu Empire, and by the younger generation of the main resistance of the Xu Bu clan, they think that the power radiation area of the Han family will not help the development of the Xiongnu, and are eager to continue to go north or west.
Even according to the exploration of the younger generation of Xiongnu, although it is cold in the north, the area is very extensive, and there are many high-quality iron ores, and there are many mountain ranges, so it may not be impossible to survive. And there are no strong enemies, recuperate him for three or four generations, restore the population well, and increase the strength.
And if you go west, although there is a rest of this empire, but they are fighting happily with Rome, now is the time to employ people, and it is also a good choice to take the opportunity to develop slowly in the past, there are enough wars to sharpen their warriors, and the difficult bones are naturally not gnawed, and the delicious fat meat is of course not to be let go.
All the three nobles of the Xiongnu, the Huyan clan, the Xu Bu clan, and the Lan clan, plus the always low-key Su Yu clan, had a disagreement on the future development direction of the Xiongnu. Among them, the Lan clan followed the Huyan clan, and the Su Yu clan wore a pair of pants with the Su Bu clan.
This time the battle is the result of a compromise between the two sides, Huyan is ready to use blood to awaken the blood of the younger generation of Xiongnu, to inherit the hatred of the Han and Huns for hundreds of years, and Xu Bu is ready to let those who are still immersed in the former glory of the Xiongnu and unwilling to extricate themselves from the old immortal feel the iron fist from the Han family.
"What should I do now?"
Lan Zhan, who had been following behind Su Suti and waiting for the next instruction, couldn't help it anymore and asked
"Do you know how many soldiers and horses the Han family will send to resist us? How many troops are as strong as the black cavalry? Why has the anti-Han yellow scarf not moved? How many people in Wuheng are willing to follow us again? ”
Instead of returning, he opened his mouth and asked a series of questions
Lan Zhan had jerky in his mouth, and he replied after being stunned for a moment
"I don't know"
"Shut up if you don't know!"
He scolded angrily
Lan Zhan was not angry when he heard this, and laughed
"I know that the wise man is busy, but we also need to know the next move, otherwise the army's heart will be unstable, Brother Schuck"
Lan Zhan is very familiar with Su Yuti, the two have been herding together since childhood, and later one studied literature and the other practiced martial arts. I think that with the help of the dog's brain, these two brothers don't know how many Hun girls they have harmed, and their relationship is very iron. And although the power of the people is weaker, but the brain is good, how many people who provoked their clan in previous years died in vain, and Lan Zhan, who knew his ability, generally obeyed his words as long as he stayed with him.
"First return to Wuyi Village for repair, vigorously collect Qianghu and Xianbei, and then send someone to see where Wuheng is, as for other things, I will talk about it later."
Lan Zhan nodded when he heard this, but instead of leaving, he leaned forward and whispered with his arms around his shoulders
"To be honest with my brother, do you think it's better to go north or west?"
He glanced at him, what do you mean by saying this to me, in front of the public, so many people are not afraid of people leaking out, and they will be pressed to the ground by their old man when they turn around.
"Anyway, I want to go west."
Ignoring the idiot's eyes, Lan Zhan said to himself
"Rest is now being beaten by Rome, let's go over at the right time, eat him, drink him, take him, how good is it to develop while training soldiers, although the area is vast in the north, but there is no one, let's kill who over there, it's not a herding every day, right?"
He glanced at him helplessly, of course he knew Lan Zhan's intentions, this thing has always wanted to know his views on the future development of the Xiongnu, although Lan Zhan is an old school, but under his long-term intentional or unintentional guidance, he has already completely transformed into a pioneering and enterprising Xiongnu warrior.
"Don't think about it so much, these things are all made up of the minds of adults, and it's not our turn to worry about them."
"I don't care, anyway, if you go west at that time, you must take me with you!"
"Later, fuck off!"
"Okay, then it's decided!"
....
Northwest of Liangzhou
A full 43,000 Northern Hun cavalry galloped wantonly in the grassland. Suddenly, a loud eagle's cry sounded, and the leader raised his hand, and the overall speed of the army began to slow down.
"What's the situation?"
Seeing that Hu Yanhao's face was not good after reading the message on the eagle's feet, Su Bu immediately asked
Hearing this, Hu Yanhao casually handed over the creed, turned his head slightly and said to the mirror behind him
"Lan Zhan and their siege of Wuwei failed, Qianghu and Xianbei were defeated, and now they are repairing in Wuyisai and find a cavalry stronger than our Praetorian Guard, with 4,000 people."
Hearing this, the mirror nodded in understanding. In fact, Lan Zhan was able to hit Wuwei City beyond his expectations, and his son Su's performance was also very satisfactory to him, he dared to cross Liangzhou with two thousand guards alone, and stepped into the territory of Qianghu to gather 50,000 horses, and Lan Zhan attacked on both sides, all the way to Wuwei City. When this record came out, he even had the title of leader of the younger generation.
"Shan Yu, why don't I lead 20,000 turquoise cavalry first?"
Hu Yanhao's number one general and Lan clan patriarch Langer said loudly, he really didn't worry about those juniors tossing around blindly on the territory of the Han family, after all, there were really few Huns.
From the first year of Zhanghe (87) to the first year of Yong, the Northern Xiongnu surrendered more than 400,000 people one after another to the south! It can be said that there was a wave of blood collapse, and now the total population of their Northern Xiongnu is not even 700,000, and even a rich county in the Han Dynasty is not comparable, and there are very few heroes among them, and the death of one is a huge loss for the Huns.
"With this idle effort, it's better to collect more Xianbei"
The mirror said lightly
"When those little ones grow up, it's time to spread their wings"
Rangel snorted coldly when he heard this
"Anyway, that cub of your family is ruthless enough, and he did it so desperately just now, and then it's not good to drive those Xianbei"
The mirror smiled and didn't speak, wasn't it just playing with fire? What are you afraid of, just Xianbei, after Qiang Hu dares not to listen, just kill it.
