In the camp of the Huns, at this moment, there was laughter.

The lower warriors of these tribes are now basking in the joy of this unprecedented harvest.

In just a few days, they controlled more than 300 miles of grassland.

and destroy all the resistance forces and organizations of the Wusun clan in this area that will have time to retreat in the future.

At least thirty clans have been broken and eliminated.

Thousands of women and girls were taken captive.

In addition, more than 100,000 heads of cattle and sheep alone have been obtained.

As for cheese, fur and the like, there are countless of them.

"Munan is really rich...... countless Hun warriors, while counting their harvest, boasted to their companions: "The Wusun camp we broke through yesterday has more than 2,000 sheep alone......"

Listening to this, his companion said enviously: "It's a pity that I didn't go with me yesterday, otherwise I would definitely be able to cut off the head of a Wusun man and bring him back......"

"It's okay!" Someone comforted him: "Just ahead, there are tens of thousands of Wusun cowards and their livestock, women and children waiting for the great people of the black and white gods to conquer!" ”

Speaking of this, the Hun warriors became excited.

The richness of Makunan is far beyond their imagination.

And the weakness of the Wusun people is even more unexpected.

In the past few days, the Hun cavalry has not even encountered any decent resistance.

The losses were minimal, but the gains were beyond their imagination.

Compared with the Wusun people in the south of this scene, the Cypriot barbarians in Jinshan's hometown are simply complete beggars.

"If only the king could take us to rob Makunan once a year...... someone said longingly, "In that case, I would even be willing to dedicate my wives and concubines to the great black god!" ”

Everyone else nodded.

In their opinion, the Wusun people in the south of this scene are even easier to deal with than those worms on the banks of the Gonglu River.

Moreover, these guys are staggeringly rich.

It's just like ......

It's like the great black god, the supreme master, a gift for the brave Hun warriors of the West.

It is the Promised Land that the Black God has given to His most devout believers.

The religious beliefs and traditions of the Xiongnu also make it easy for them to associate this with this.

According to legend, the world will eventually come to an end, and only those who believe in the black god can be saved from destruction by the gods and go to a new world under the favor of the gods.

And in the process, God will favor its believers.

Let them kill, conquer, and destroy.

So, in the eyes of outsiders, the Huns were all crazy.

But in the eyes of the Huns, all this was too normal.

They are simply following God's teachings.

Besides, heretics are not human beings at all!

But......

Unlike the optimistic lower-class samurai.

The nobles in the upper echelons are now very anxious.

"Great King......" A Xiongnu nobleman walked up to Lan Zheye and persuaded: "Let's withdraw......"

"The warriors have had enough, it's time to return!"

Lan Zhe also listened, looked outside, shook his head, and said, "How to withdraw?" ”

"Tell the warriors that just because we found the Han army, we have to run away with our tails between our legs?"

"Once we do this, when we return to the north of the curtain, what awaits us will definitely be Shan Yuting's questioning!"

"What's more......" Lan Zhe also whispered: "Who dares to order a retreat now?" ”

"Chi'an Castle is right in front of you......"

"Tens of thousands of weak Wusun people, with their livestock and countless riches, are more tempting than the fattest fresh meat! It's impossible for the warriors to retreat without eating this piece of meat in their mouths! ”

"Whoever dares to give an order will be torn apart!"

For the Huns this tribe, sanity? What is that?!

It is not unheard of for the cavalrymen of the tribe to disobey the orders of the patriarch and kill him directly.

This crazy tribe, sometimes even the patriarch who controls its reins, is terrified.

The Huns, who believed in black and white gods, when they were crazy, would only think that all this was arranged by the gods.

Life or death, it doesn't matter.

It is important to practice the teachings of the gods that are believed in.

That's why the Huns were so fanatically obsessed with hand-to-hand combat.

Because they firmly believe that only enemies that are killed with their own hands will be approved by God.

I also believe that the souls of those who die in battle will be accepted by God and enter His kingdom.

"That'...... What do we do now? A nobleman asked suspiciously.

Unlike the madness of the lower classes, the nobles and high-level leaders of the Huns still have brains.

They know very well how bad the situation they are facing now is.

The traces of the Han army scouts have now been confirmed.

There is also a Xuanjia

The army appeared.

And this means that the strength of the Xiongnu alone is not enough to deal with it.

Not to mention......

In the past few days, the Hun cavalry that has been robbed has long been scattered on this vast grassland like sand.

Now, there are only more than 2,000 cavalry around Lan Zhe.

If you want to gather forces and concentrate your forces, you can't do it in a short time.

After all, this is a grassland that is hundreds of miles wide.

"What should I do?" Lan Zheye's eyes bloomed with a strange color: "I can only fight!" ”

"Intensify the attack on the Wusun people! It's best to take advantage of the fact that the Han people haven't entered yet, and break through Chi'an City! ”

"Otherwise, even if we withdraw, we can't withdraw!"

In the current situation, Lan Zhe still has a clear understanding.

At present, the pattern of the battlefield, in the eyes of the Huns, is extremely strange.

On the one hand, they laid siege to the southwest and northeast of Chi'an City against the Wusun people.

It's like two fists, opening the bow left and right, and constantly beating those poor Wusun people.

With every attack, progress is made.

Because, there are too many places for the Wusun people to defend.

There are flaws everywhere.

There's no way around it.

After all, they have herds of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of livestock.

With so many people and livestock, there is a necessitated need for a pasture large enough to house and get enough living space.

Therefore, in fact, the Wusun people can only follow the area of Chi'an City and surround a camp for dozens of miles.

The Hun cavalry, on the other hand, could concentrate their forces and launch attacks on certain weak points.

As long as there was no defense in place, the Hun cavalry was able to break through the local defenses and fight into the camp crowded with livestock, women and children.

Effortlessly, these frightened women and children, cattle and sheep were captured.

Then before the main force of the Wusun cavalry arrived, they retreated with a swagger.

Only a piece of chicken feathers remained.

This is also the trick that the Bow Bearers use against their enemies.

Bit by bit, the bloodletting pushes the enemy into the abyss of despair step by step.

Let them fall into fear and collapse.

In this way, when the final general offensive is launched, the enemy will not have the confidence to organize resistance.

They will only prostrate on the ground, lay their heads on the ground, and kiss the boots of the conqueror.

Even if the butcher's knife is on the neck, it will only close its eyes and wait for death, and dare not resist.

This kind of trick, the Huns are naturally extremely proficient.

They have used it countless times in Jinshan and the Western Regions.

Time-tested.

But on the other hand, because yesterday the scouts of the Han army were discovered.

As a result, Lan Zhe also had to slow down his offensive against Chi'an City.

I had to mobilize troops to drive away the approaching Han army scouts, so as not to be looked at by others.

At the same time, in order to facilitate the surprise attack of the Han army, he had to concentrate a part of his forces and keep it as a reserve.

This undoubtedly eased the pressure of the Wusun people in Chi'an City and gave them some respite.

Just this morning, they even organized a counterattack, recaptured several forward positions destroyed by the Huns, rebuilt the fence.

"Go on the offensive?" A young nobleman was puzzled: "If we continue to attack, what if the Han people surprise us?" ”

"What's the hurry?" Lan Zhe also smiled and said: "Scout report, the Xuanjia army of the Han Dynasty is almost four hundred miles away from us......"

"As for Shiozawa's light cavalry, it is at least three hundred miles!"

"Such a long distance, even if it is a surprise attack, it will take a day!"

"What's more, after running so far, the horses definitely need to be trimmed! Even if they have one person and two horses, it is the same! ”

It's a simple piece of common sense.

In contemporary times, no matter what awesome good horses.

After a long run, the hooves of the horses are severely worn.

It is necessary to wait at least a day for the worn hooves to grow back.

Otherwise, once the muscles and bones wrapped in the horse's hooves are injured, the war horse will be scrapped.

Therefore, even if the Han army is accustomed to using one person and two horses, taking turns to change horses, in order to save horsepower, it only saves the strength of horses.

In order to protect the war horse, it should be trimmed or trimmed.

Not everyone can be like the hussar general who can't be named, always find a Hun pasture before his horse dies, and let the whole army replace it with a new war horse - even if the man is resurrected, he can no longer reproduce the tactics of the past.

Because, the Huns have long learned to behave.

Once the war began, all the women and children, the baggage, and the livestock were all moved back.

Protect them tightly, and don't give the Han army a chance to replenish easily.

When necessary, the Huns preferred to burn all their baggage and kill all their livestock.

It will not be left to the cavalry of the Han Dynasty!

Therefore, Lan Zhe is not worried.

As long as the Han army moved, he would be able to react immediately.

And the Han cavalry set off to be able to threaten the Hun cavalry, and there was at least a three-day window period in between.

In the past three days, Lan Zhe is also confident that he should be able to deal with the Wusun people in Chi'an City.

At least it can make them incapacitated.

In this way, even if the Han army comes.

He also has the capital to retreat calmly.

Otherwise, if it really has to be dragged on, and when the Han army comes, if the Wusun people in Chi'an City still have the strength to spare, then at least half of his cavalry must be left in the south of this scene.

What's even more terrifying is that I am afraid that even the seizure of the proceeds will be lost!

And this is unacceptable in any way!

So, from the afternoon, the Hun cavalry suddenly increased their attack on Chi'an City.

For a time, the pressure on the Wusun Department doubled and suffered heavy losses.

In just one afternoon, hundreds of cavalry were killed and thousands of women and children were taken captive.

Thousands of livestock became trophies of the Huns.

Even, even at night, the Hun cavalry did not give up the attack.

Taking advantage of the night, they continued to storm and continue to attack Chi'an City, and even broke into the heart of the Wusun Tribe.

By the early hours of the next morning, the Wusun Division had in fact lost the ability to continue fighting.

More than half of its standing cavalry lost its combat effectiveness.

The rest are also exhausted.

Mentally, it was even more painful.

The Wusun people could only watch as the Hun cavalry continued to attack their own defense areas.

Watching his livestock and wife being taken captive by those cruel Huns.

And they, however, could not do anything.

You can even just watch.

This kind of blow and torture shakes the Wusun people.

Even, some people have already had the idea of surrendering.

Although, in fact, there are at least 20,000 young and strong men in the Wusun Department now.

And have enough horses to arm them.

However, among these people, there are only three or five thousand who can fight.

And these people were already frightened by the Hun cavalry.

What's more, for the people who draw the bow.

Surrender and surrender are never humiliating.

If you can't beat it, join it, that's the truth.

When the Donghu Empire and the Yueshi Empire fell, a large number of Donghu and Yueshi people surrendered to the Xiongnu and became Xiongnu.

When the Wusun people rose to the south of the Munan, there were also countless tribes who did not have time to retreat with Shan Yuting, surrendered on their knees and joined Wusun.

And Wusun Tuge has also lost control of the tribe.

To be precise, he was abandoned by the tribe.

Successive defeats caused the Usun tribe to vote with their feet and deprive him of power.

Now, no one wants to listen to his orders anymore.

No one even paid attention to him.

He could only hold the sac of mare's milk wine, and huddled alone in the dome of the tribe, waiting for his fate.

……………………

On the twentieth day of the first month of the spring of the first two years, the hour of the hour.

As soon as the morning fog lifted, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves had already broken through the fog.

Wu Heyang, reined in the war horse, stood on this small hill, looking ahead, his face full of surprise.

From yesterday to now, he took the cavalry of his clan, and finally arrived at the place designated by Weng Sumi.

Even better......

Looking up and down the hills, inside and outside the valley.

This is the most important commanding height near Chi'an City, and not even a single person has seen it.

It's as if the whole world, only they exist.

"Great!" Wu Heyang shouted excitedly: "I got the first gong!" ”

Because of his study tour in the inner counties of the Han Dynasty and his perennial role as an envoy, Wu Heyang still has some understanding of the military merit system of the Han army.

tomato

So he knows very well, how high is the gold content of the first achievement?

It is no exaggeration to say that this credit alone is enough for him to get a higher status in Akita City!

Even better......

In this war, Weng Xu Mi has already announced that the head of a Xiongnu is higher than the head of the four major clans of the Xiongnu.

In other words, he only had to lead his cavalry and cut off a dozen or more Hun heads.

Then, he will have the opportunity to covet the title of a martial marquis.

As long as you become a martial marquis, then ......

"Children and grandchildren, do your best!" Clenching his fists, Wu Heyang thought of the future prosperity of the family in his heart.

However, he also knew that he had to hold the place firmly before the army arrived with his army.

This place must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy!
