Chapter 915: Black Eats Black

On the vast grassland, a Hun cavalry numbering about 1,000 people was wandering.

As usual, they were ready to wait for an opportunity to attack the caravan that might collide with them.

The place where the Northern Xiongnu is located is adjacent to the Silk Road, and the trade is very developed, and there are countless caravans coming and going. Carry with you all the valuables you have.

This kind of cross-border trade is more than ten times more profitable. So, despite the long and perilous journeys, there are countless merchants who come and go.

Although the Northern Xiongnu were brutal and greedy, they were not ignorant and knew the truth of the long stream. Cattle and sheep are not eaten by meat, but by milk and dairy products, and will not be slaughtered unless absolutely necessary.

Similarly, for the merchants on the grassland, the Northern Xiongnu did not kill them all when they were hungry, but like herding cattle and sheep, they selectively slaughtered and plundered, and the frequency of looting was not high.

After all, if you blindly kill, this road will soon become a dead end for merchants, and no caravan will dare to pass through. And like the countries in the Western Regions, they generally charge "tolls", and now the low-key Northern Xiongnu are not good at reaching out too much, so as not to cause public anger. Disguising themselves as horse bandits became the choice of the Northern Huns.

After all, there are horse bandits everywhere on this road, and the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, Guishan, and Anxib have all secretly cultivated this kind of hidden power, and no one can turn it into the light.

As the leader of this group of "horse bandits", Ji Yu rushed to the front with a horse whip, with a high-spirited and high-flying attitude.

The Hun cavalry was the top in the world, and its combat power far exceeded that of Anxi and Guishan in the same number, not to mention the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. And the horse bandits are all small streams, and the number cannot be too many, so naturally the Northern Hun horse bandits have become the overlord of this area, and no one is invincible. Every time I came out to wander, I returned with a big victory and a full harvest, and there was never an accident. This time, however, a special group of horse bandits targeted them.

"Can the Flying Bears match their speed and stamina?" Xu Shu looked at the horse bandits in the distance, and said with slightly narrowed eyes.

The corners of Li Dao's mouth chuckled, and he said with arrogance: "Yuan Zhi, do you know why the Flying Bear Army is called the Flying Bear Army?" ”

"The one who flies the bear has wings on his ribs, and he steps on the ground like a fly. For cavalry, speed is everything. Although the Flying Bears are heavy riders, they value the weight of their armor and the impact of their armor, but all of this is based on sufficient speed and endurance. Otherwise, no matter how well-equipped, no matter how strong the melee combat and impact are, it will only be the life of being lightly ridden and kited by the Qiang people on the grassland. ”

"Every war horse of the Flying Bear Army is the worst and one in a hundred good horses. After special training and breeding, there is no pressure to carry a heavy armor and horse armor, and both speed and endurance are not inferior to ordinary good horses. This is the foundation of the Flying Bears' invincibility. ”

"In terms of the speed of the charge alone, there are no more troops in this world that can outnumber the Flying Bear Army, and this rabble in front of you can never be one of them."

"What about the White Horse?" Xu Shu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his tone was inexplicable.

"White Horse Yicong..."Li Wei was slightly silent.

"It was the product of serendipity, and it could not have existed."

"But he showed up anyway, didn't he?" Xu Shu smiled.

Baima Yicong is definitely the number one cavalry in the world, which is recognized by everyone, including Li Dao. The reason is only two words, speed.

For cavalry, speed is everything. The Mongol cavalry roamed the world, and how many well-armored Western heavy cavalry fell under their hooves, relying on speed.

Bai Ma Yicong maneuvered quickly, reacted quickly, and shot quickly. It simply takes the word speed to the limit, and even breaks common sense.

"Gongsun Chan is indeed a character, almost no less than the former champion Hou." Li Dao sighed sincerely.

Regardless of the others, judging from the ability of the cavalry generals alone, Gongsun Zhan's status is like Zhou Yu's in the military array, completely unattainable.

"It's a well-known fact that the key to cavalry is speed. Whether it is my Flying Bear Army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, or the Tiger Ben Army of the past, they all increase their speed to the limit, and then make different improvements on their basis. Our Flying Bear Army is more important than protection and impact, Tiger and Leopard Riding is more important than lethality, and the Tiger Ben Army in the Western Han Dynasty relied on the luck of a country and forcibly blessed it, almost omnipotent and invincible. ”

"However, even the Tiger Army has only reached its limit, almost perfect. And the white horse is a real breakthrough in the limit. Li Wei's tone was full of disbelief.

"I don't know how Gongsun Chan did this, I'm afraid only someone like him who is paranoid to the point of madness can do this. He gave up everything, went crazy for speed, and in the end, he really pushed the limits and worked miracles. Li Dao said in a solemn tone.

"White Horse Yiyi is undefeated, and the only one who is defeated can be the main general."

"If it weren't for Gongsun Zhan's paranoid personality to the extreme, as long as he could lower his head a little, he would not have been defeated, let alone died." Li Wei's tone was full of regret and regret.

"What a foolish person would do such a thing to use as a heavy cavalry to use the White Horse as a heavy cavalry. If Bai Mayi's advantage in speed is brought into play, not to mention that Yuan Shao only has hundreds of thousands of troops, even if there are millions of people, what can he do? Guerrilla cavalry shooting alone was enough to make Yuan Shao helpless. It's a pity ......"

"The dead cannot be remembered, and the past cannot be traced. It's gone, so don't be sorry anymore. Regarding Gongsun Zhan's death, Xu Shu also felt very sorry. But with Gongsun Zhan's character, like the overlord of Western Chu, he only died, even if Yuan Shu left him a way out many times, he still couldn't save a person who was bent on thinking.

So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.

"It seems that this Northern Hun has really been comfortable for too long, and it is so precautionary that there are not even many sentry horses." Xu Shu changed the subject.

"A wolf, mixed with a dog for a long time, although it is still a wolf in nature, can also become sluggish." Li Dao said coldly.

"In this world, as far as cavalry is concerned, except for my Han people, there are only the Northern Huns. The rest are all busy, and they are vulnerable. ”

Although he was shocked by the national strength of Guishan, Anxi and other countries, in terms of cavalry, Li Dao did not take them seriously at all, and even Rome was just a group of sheep selling dog meat to Li Dao.

How can a group of barbarians living by the sea know what cavalry is?

The Northern Xiongnu were born good at archery, strong physique, and had their own companionship with horses, good at equestrian riding and archery, and the Han Shang could be their enemy, and what were other countries? Like the Kushan cavalry, no matter how well-equipped and strong the soldiers are, they are just a group of foot soldiers on horseback, not real cavalry.

The grassland can't raise a naval army, and the seaside can't train cavalry. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to ride in Jiangdong, which is the reason.

"But don't be careless, the Northern Huns are just sleeping and dormant temporarily, and their heritage is still not to be underestimated, don't capsize in the gutter." Xu Shu reminded.

"Don't worry." Li Dao flicked his cloak and pointed forward with the spear in his hand: "Rush!" ”

A group of 500 "horse bandits" rushed towards the 1,000 "horse bandits" in the distance, quite a bit of a black and black posture.
