On the same day, Maodun gathered the capable warriors of all the tribes of the Xiongnu, a total of 70,000 troops, in the early morning of the next day, went east, and went straight to Donghu!

The 70,000-strong army, murderous, from the nobles of all departments to the soldiers, was full of anger and hatred for Donghu. The whole army is holding a bad breath in their hearts, and this time they vow to destroy Donghu!

When Mao Dun saw the whole army, he was full of righteous indignation and strong fighting spirit, and his heart was also very excited and excited, because he had waited for this day for a year.

In the past year, Mao Dun can be said to be lying on his back and trying his courage, swallowing his anger every day.

Killing his father and standing on his own, the people within the Xiongnu were scattered, and they had no prestige, and the Xiongnu tribes were in danger of splitting.

Coupled with the great power of Donghu, the Xiongnu can be said to be troubled internally and externally, and there is a possibility of destruction at any time.

In order to paralyze Donghu, he ignored the opposition of his ministers and gave Maxima and the Yan clan to the king of Donghu.

For this reason, he was scolded by the ministers as a coward like a mouse, and countless people behind his back laughed at him and looked down on him.

However, Maudon knew he had to.

First, in order to paralyze Donghu, and second, in order to accumulate anger against Donghu within the Xiongnu.

Because the Xiongnu were not evenly matched, if they declared war at the beginning just because the king of Donghu asked for a thousand-mile horse, the Xiongnu tribes would not respond one after another, and if the order was not responded, their status and prestige in the Xiongnu would be even more frustrated in the future.

At the same time, if Donghu cannot be paralyzed, even if he declares the order to war, he can get the response of the Xiongnu tribes, but Donghu is powerful, and the conquest will only be a fiasco. In that case, if you are alone, you will have no prestige, and it will even lead to the danger of direct splitting of the Huns.

Therefore, only by letting the Xiongnu accumulate enough anger, only by letting Donghu feel at ease enough with the Xiongnu and despise him enough, can he give an order, the whole army responds, and at the same time hit Donghu by surprise and a chance to win a big victory.

As long as he conquered Donghu and won a beautiful battle, his position in the Xiongnu would be completely stabilized. Next, you can lead the Xiongnu to rise, take off, and even establish a powerful Xiongnu empire in this northern grassland.

Looking at the 70,000 army twisted into a rope due to anger in front of him, Mao suddenly felt excited, and at this time, he seemed to have seen the hope of victory.

Of course, he believes that he will be able to achieve his ideals and goals.

Destroy Donghu in the east, attack the Yueshi in the west, collect the Hetao in the south, and establish a Xiongnu empire that is even more powerful than Great Qin!

Thinking of this, Mao Dun's blood boiled, he raised his horsewhip and roared: "Speed up the march and kill him by surprise!" ”

Seventy thousand soldiers rode on their horses and raised their whips and shouted: "Destroy Donghu, kill Donghu!" Woooo......oo

…………

At the same time, the Great Wall camp.

Han Xin had already ordered 50,000 iron horsemen and lined up in the school parade hall of the Great Wall camp.

The Great Wall camp has a total of 100,000 iron cavalry, which is now divided into two, and 50,000 are led by Han Xin and Zhang Han. This time, they had only one purpose, that is, to set out for the Xiongnu, suppress the Xiongnu royal court, and be responsible for deterring the Xiongnu, so as to ensure the safety of Li Yang's envoy to the Xiongnu.

The other 50,000 iron horsemen, led by Wang Li, sat in the rear to ensure that they could deal with any sudden battles.

The 50,000 iron horsemen in the school review field, Han Xin had already installed the saddles and stirrups brought from Xianyang, and all the soldiers were as stable as Thailand on horseback, with a tall posture and more powerful than before.

Saddles and stirrups, but in the Great Wall camp caused a shock throughout the army.

Seeing the war horse after equipping the saddle and stirrups, the soldiers rode on it, relaxed and stable, which made everyone's eyes straighten!

Wang Li exclaimed directly: "This is an artifact!" ”

As the border army that has been garrisoning the north for many years, they know too well the role of saddles and stirrups.

The reason why cavalry cannot be used as the main force, but can only be used as a side force, is because in addition to the mobility and flexibility of cavalry, in fact, the combat effectiveness of cavalry is very poor.

The fundamental reason for all this is that the soldiers ride on horseback, their feet have no point of focus, they can only hold the horse's belly tightly with their legs, and hold the weapon with one hand, and the strength is very small. Moreover, it is easy for people to fall from their horses to the north during battle, and at the same time, cavalry is also easy to fatigue, and their combat effectiveness is often inferior to that of infantry.

However, after the saddles and stirrups brought by Li Yang in front of him were installed on horseback, things were completely different.

At this time, the feet of these cavalrymen in front of them had support points to use the strength of their whole body to their arms, freeing their hands, which greatly increased the flexibility of combat and the power of slashing.

From Wang Li to ordinary soldiers, at the moment when they saw the saddle and stirrup equipped, they knew very well that with such artifacts as saddles and stirrups, from now on, the cavalry would become a terrifying and powerful main force.

Thinking of this, Wang Li and the others all praised this artifact, and at the same time praised the person who invented this artifact, who had made great contributions and would completely change the fate of the cavalry.

Li You on the side smiled proudly: "General Wang, in fact, the inventor and creator of this artifact is right in front of our eyes, and it is our dean with great powers!" ”

"Huh? This...... This artifact is...... It was invented by the manager! ”

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

At this moment, they believed in the second legend about Li Yang even more.

They had already heard that paper was invented by Li Yang, and kites were invented by Li Yang, and now, he actually invented the saddle and stirrup, which are cavalry artifacts.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Li Yang with admiration, and then looked at him deeply, and said in unison: "The boss has a peerless education, is extremely intelligent, and has outstanding wisdom, no one can compare, I admire him!" ”

Li Yang smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a small invention, it's nothing, what a story!" ”

Modest, the coach is humble again!

Everyone smiled, they had grown so big, they had never seen someone as modest as Li Yang.

Is this a gizmo?

If it was a small invention, how could it be that no one had invented such an artifact for thousands of years?

Moreover, the saddle and stirrup, this can completely subvert everyone's perception of the previous cavalry!

With this invention, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry must be increased by at least two or three times.

Just when everyone thought that Li Yang was really joking, Li You nodded with deep sympathy, and said: "You generals don't know anything, if you compare the saddle and stirrup with the dean's papermaking and printing, this saddle and stirrup can indeed only be regarded as a small invention." ”

"............" Everyone was stunned and was speechless.

Although what the printing press is, they don't know. But papermaking, everyone still knows, it is a huge invention in the history of Chinese civilization.

If you really compare it with papermaking, this saddle and stirrup are indeed insignificant.

Thinking of this, everyone has a feeling of seeing a demon.

Boss, it's really a strange person through the ages, very comparable!

At this time, everyone admired Li Yang in addition to admiration.

Just when everyone looked at them with admiration and admiration, Li Yang said to Wang Li and the others: "By the way, the number of saddles and stirrups is limited for the time being, and a total of more than 50,000 pairs have been built, and now there are very few left. Still, I kept one for each of the generals. ”

Speaking of which, several Yulin sergeants carried several boxes of saddles and stirrups and sent them to Wang Li and the others.

Seeing these saddles and stirrups, Wang Li and the others' eyes lit up, and they were overjoyed, this is a good thing! So he hurriedly thanked: "The last general thanked the boss!" ”

Li Yang smiled and said, "The Shaofu is rushing day and night, and in two months, the remaining 50,000 iron horsemen should all be equipped with saddles and stirrups." ”

Hearing that it would only take two months for the cavalry of the Great Wall battalion to have this kind of artifact, Wang Li and the others were immediately excited, and their faces turned red.

"Okay, it's not too early, it's time for Ben Shuai to set off, and there will be General Lao Wang in the Great Wall camp."

Li Yang bowed his hand to Wang Li and other generals and prepared to set off.

Wang Li and other generals saluted one after another: "Take care, boss!" ”

"Take care!"

Li Yang said a sigh, and then shouted at Han Xin's 50,000 iron horsemen and Li You's 5,000 feather forests: "Let's go!" ”
