Chapter 146: The War Begins

"Wanhu, don't you let the children rush?"

In the account of the Huns, a middle-aged man with a beard on his face was complaining.

This person is a typical Hun face, with a deep silhouette, tall and strong, five big and three thick, and a dirty woolen robe wrapped under bronze armor.

The visible lice crawled along the greasy and smooth braids, and the wide open curtain could not blow away the smell of sheep on his body.

In addition to this person, the other Huns in the tent are also similar to the painting style.

In comparison, Zhao Ponu is out of place.

This kid was wearing the Han Army's standard armor that he had dug out of nowhere, and he had a one-meter-long ring-headed knife hanging from his waist.

It's clean and smellless, and even if you haven't taken a shower for a few days because of the march, you can see that you have taken care of it every day.

If you go out and say that this is a general of the Han Dynasty, there is a chance that no one will not believe it.

In the narrow middle account, Zhao Ponu, who was dressed like this, was like a little white face against the backdrop of a group of subordinates, and he also seemed to be an Aries who had strayed into the wolves.

But it's such an ordinary white sheep, but it exudes a terrifying murderous aura.

In front of him, several strong Huns with five big and three thick Huns didn't even dare to speak loudly.

The Xiongnu worshipped and revered the strong.

Zhao Ponu relied on helping Zhao Xin quell countless rebellions, and established his absolute prestige in his army with countless traitor heads who dared to resist!

Of the nearly 50,000 troops he led, 10,000 were the elite of the Xiongnu headquarters.

Divided by tribes, these warriors who used to be close to Zhao Xin's small tribe have now become members of Zhao Ponu's own tribe.

As a hereditary leader of ten thousand households and tribes, Zhao Ponu has absolute power over life and death over them!

The remaining 30,000 are all vassal tribes such as Wuhuan, Donghu, and Kangju.

These people usually encounter an ordinary tribesman of the Xiongnu headquarters, they must tremble and be careful to flatter, once the grassland encounters a difficult New Year, or the effect of the southward looting is not satisfactory, these vassal tribes will even become the object of looting!

And like this kind of southward looting, these vassal tribes often had to take out all the young men in the clan to follow the Xiongnu to fight.

When the battle went well, he became the fangs and vanguard of the Huns.

When it doesn't go well, you have to obey the orders of the Huns and cut off with your life!

But if you don't comply, you will be punished by extermination!

They will not, and will not dare to resist.

In addition to the 40,000 tribal cavalry, there are even more than 10,000 horseback soldiers in this vanguard army who can be used as foot combat!

They were all recruited by Zhao Xin in advance from the vassal countries of the Western Regions, and they were specially used as cannon fodder for sieges!

Their fate is worse than that of the vassal tribes.

As long as there is a slight retreat in the siege, the small country to which it belongs will be slaughtered by the Huns!

This is also the reason why when the Han showed enough force in the grassland, those small countries in the Western Regions rebelled against the Huns.

The Han Dynasty only needed to show submission and pay tribute every year.

You don't need to send troops to fight against the Huns, if you really don't have enough strength, just give enough money and take the initiative to cut off contact with the Huns.

Correspondingly, Dahan will also fulfill the obligation of protection.

Even if Liu Che is not a generous and tolerant king to the outside world, it is much better than the reign of terror of the Xiongnu!

The reign of terror over the Western Regions was deeply rooted in the blood and blood of every Xiongnu and their vassal tribes.

Even Zhao Ponu, who thinks he is a Han Chinese, is not exempt from vulgarity!

He may not want to be an enemy of the Han Dynasty, and will control and deploy them to prevent them from plundering the Han people at will, and he will also not contribute to the work when he is fighting the grass valley.

It doesn't mean that there will be the same kindness to the people of the Western Regions!

This can be seen from the fact that he generously put the foot soldiers of the subject countries of the Western Regions in the front camp, and he didn't mind letting the Han army on the tower see it.

Numbers, troops, equipment, morale.

It was not disguised at all.

Maybe in Zhao Ponu's heart, he even hopes that the Han army will see it clearly!

However, for the cavalry herdsmen of the headquarters and vassal tribes, it cannot be so obvious.

In the eyes of the grassland nobles, those blonde and blue-eyed people in the Western Regions are just cannon fodder blocking crossbow arrows, and they don't care about how they waste it.

Even taking this opportunity to weaken the power of the subject country was a tacit understanding passed down from generation to generation by the Huns.

But the headquarters and vassal tribes are the foundation of the Xiongnu's strength!

"Wanhu, the Han people in Juyongguan are also quiet, it's not a matter just to look at it, just let those infantry rush and try it!"

Several thousand households and vassal tribal leaders also followed.

"If you don't fight again, it's dark!"

"When the king's headquarters comes, we may not even be able to drink hot soup!"

"Wanhu, you are the vanguard of the king, you can't wait for the king to come over and have no record at all!"

Only the generals of the subject countries of the Western Regions had white faces, lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, their faces were full of despair that would surely die, and they did not even dare to show their resentment.

Obviously, this is to let their sons and daughters be cannon fodder and test the combat power of the Han army!

Use human lives to open the way for the Huns!

But what can be done, in the eyes of the grassland people, isn't the so-called subordinate doing this work?

Zhao Ponu was impatient: "Shut up!" ”

The crowd immediately fell silent.

"Something is wrong in the city, you idiots can't see it!" Zhao Ponu scolded, "Wash your eyes and take a look, the leading general of the Han army in the city, is it like that waste is too guarded!" ”

"This ......"

A group of people looked at each other.

Qianhu Ada said cautiously: "The Han army has fewer people than us, so it's normal to be quiet?" ”

"Normal fart!" Zhao Ponu sneered, "You are the same as the dolls in the tribe who are not as tall as wheels, are you all chicks who have never been on the battlefield!" ”

"The Han army is a pack of wolves, not sheep! No matter how stupid the wolf is, the wolf pack is still a wolf pack, and it will not become a flock of sheep! ”

"Our army came all the way, and all the Han beacons and flints encountered along the way ran out, but they didn't delay them to light wolf smoke at all, is it normal!"

"Use your rusty brains to think about it for me, did it happen to go south before! When don't you sweep away those nail-like beacons first?! ”

Saying this, Ada also fainted.

"That's right, in the past, the defenders of the Han people in the beacon fire would use their lives to stop our warriors and buy more time for the rear to prepare."

"This time, except for some scouts, I haven't seen a single resistance force?"

Zhao Ponu's pro-army Qianhu Min He Cha said disdainfully: "Wanhu thinks too much, maybe that Taishou is not a brainless head wolf at all, but a sheep who is as timid as a mouse?" ”

"No matter how brave the wolves are, they will lose their courage when they are led by sheep!"

"Idiot!"

Zhao Ponu threw a whip at Min Hecha's face, and said angrily: "What about the messenger who sent the message before, call him here, I have something to ask!" ”

Min He Cha had more blood marks on his face, but he didn't have the slightest anger, but flattered him and pleaded guilty again and again.

Zhao Ponu was disdainful in his heart.

The Huns, sure enough, are all dogs!
