Chapter 168: The Huns Attack

Dingxiang is established, at this time it is necessary for the Southern Huns to be the forerunner, at this time, Dingxiang will become an empty county, and after a long time, it will become the ranch of the Xianbei people in Hexi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But Han Yi couldn't have a son, there was no Han people and Han officials to live here and herd here, and he didn't want to cheap the Southern Huns, so he had to be cheap and connected.

The army turned south again, and at this time it was divided into a horizontal line, along the waterway of the Yellow River, and marched south in parallel. The army was accompanied by nearly 5,000 cavalry soldiers who had surrendered to Fura, and more than 25,000 of their families, so the march was very slow.

In particular, the Han people-heavy baggage team before Han Yizhong's army, and the Southern Xiongnu people after it, marched extremely difficult, and there were often stones choking the wheels. Han Yi's Chinese army became a firefighting team at this time, and often stepped forward to help push the car out

。 The army was accompanied by more than 200,000 cattle and sheep of the Southern Huns, and tens of thousands of good horses and horses, driven by herdsmen, marching on both sides of the team, bleating and bleating all the way, making the army look like a nomadic tribe in the migration area.

There were only neat queues, flags, and scouts galloping around. Only then did people know that this was a mighty army. It's just that most of the flags with Chinese characters written on them are not the Han standard flags with black Chinese characters on a red background, but the Changshan-style banners with black Chinese characters on a yellow background. This is the stubbornness of Changshan Yellow Turban.

The sun is constantly rising, and the summer days are extremely long and the nights are extremely short. Along the way, the sun was unobstructed, very hot, and people were covered in sweat. The eyes kept watering. Although except for the cavalry of the vigilant sentry, the army adopted a light way, and the soldiers took off their leather armor and only held weapons. However, the speed of the march was relatively fast on foot, and in some days it could reach more than 30 miles.

The army marched slowly, and in front of it was a large green carpet of hills, with occasional trees dotted in the middle. In the middle of the hills, there is a small river that winds slowly eastward. In the Weifen River in Pinglu County, the cattle, horses and sheep couldn't help but speed up their pace when they saw it, and the sergeants were also relieved.

"Let the soldiers rest for an hour before they go." Han Yi wiped a handful of sweat with his hands and put his hands on the pergola. Squinting his eyes, he looked at the terrain around him and ordered to rest.

"Yes! Lord. The guards were overjoyed, and Pegasus went to inform the generals of the two wings and the vanguard. The soldiers also got down from their horses tiredly, sent people to drive horses to eat grass and drink water, and others went to the Southern Xiongnu camp in the rear to get cattle and sheep.

Soon the whole army was cheered, and it was finally time to rest, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. All the armies sent people to the Southern Xiongnu battalion to collect cattle and sheep. I only heard the cattle and sheep on both wings screaming, and they were driven back to their own ranks by the officers and soldiers of each army, slaughtered on the spot, and someone went to collect firewood.

In just a few days, the cattle and sheep of the Southern Huns were eaten by the Han army, and if they were eaten again, the cattle and sheep of the Southern Huns would be eaten up. The Southern Huns had grievances in their hearts, but they did not dare to express them. Yu Fuluo needed Han Yi to deter his rebellious subordinates, and he ignored them. Chang Shanjun, who has meat to eat every day, applauded happily, and finally agreed with Han Yi, the temporary commander.

At the beginning, when Han Yi ordered the whole army to start eating beef and mutton, all the soldiers could hardly believe their ears. There has been chaos in the Han land for many years, not to mention meat, not even food to eat, and many people have starved to death for this.

Even in the year of peace, it is impossible for ordinary people to eat meat except for the New Year's holidays. Even the Changshan Army, which has not been in turmoil for two years, has just settled down and is not hungry. Most of the time, only the elders over the age of 60 are eligible to get a piece of meat at the village feast. It can be said that the soldiers were really ecstatic at that time, shouting long live, and even several people died because of the fierce eating.

While eating, Han Yi was quite curious about Chang Shanjun, who was paid. Because they are too similar to Han Yi's Qianping Army and the Blood Hate Army, especially when marching, gathering, and clutching, they are very similar, just like two made from one mold. The difference is only in the various array changes in the specific wartime, which are the various changes combined with the war in this world, and the difference from the dream.

Han Yi can be very sure that paying the salary should also have the same dream as himself, so that he can use the same kind of queue training method. However, it is clear that the talent for paying the salary is far stronger than oneself. He was just able to command more than 10,000 troops to fight, and there was no major chaos. However, three or four years ago, he could command an army of more than 100,000 people, narrowly defeating the famous Han general Huangfu Song.

Paying salary is worthy of being a good general like Huaiyin, if it weren't for his ambition to assist Mingjun, not the ambition of the king in the world. I am afraid that the country of the Han family has already been divided three years ago, and it is difficult to govern.

"Woo woo woo"

Suddenly, the vanguard was at the outpost of the Fuluo Division, and the horn of the enemy was blown, and the whole army immediately became vigilant. The Southern Huns were good at cavalry warfare, and if they were ambushed for miles in the wilderness, they could reach it in an instant, and they had to be defended. Soon, however, the horn sounded peacefully.

Not long after, a group of about 1,000 horsemen of the Southern Huns ran over in embarrassment, and after Yu Fuluo, who was in the vanguard, stepped forward to meet him, he soon divided several horses and rushed towards the direction of Han Yi's Chinese army.

Yu Fuluo once said that he would never see Han Yi again in this life, but for the Southern Huns who were afraid of power and not virtuous, this was a fart. As soon as he heard that Han Yi would have an army of 30,000 to conquer the Southern Xiongnu, he immediately rushed over and took the order of the court and said that he would come to serve his life.

If it weren't for Han Yi seeing that he had a natural righteous name in the Southern Xiongnu, he could reduce the difficulty of this expedition, otherwise he really didn't want to use him.

Yu Fuluo hurriedly led two old and young Southern Huns and introduced: "Han Taishou, this is my brother Luan Tihu Chuquan, this is my uncle Dugu Qubei, because I heard that the Han army came to conquer the rebels of the Baima Copper, Hutu and other tribes, I have come to contribute to the court......"

Exert oneself? Hmph, I think I can't control my tribe and people, and I'm driven out by the strongman. Han Yi reluctantly asked, "How many rebels are there in the Southern Huns?" Who is it dominated by? How far is that? ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard the ban, and they called for a long time before they ate and said: "There are about 50,000 rebels, of which there are no less than 20,000 elites, led by the king of Zuogu Li, who slaughtered each other, and it should only be twenty miles away. ”

Han Yi was silent for a while, and had learned about the composition of the rebel army from the time when the Southern Xiongnu rebelled. It is mainly a rebellion dominated by the tribes of Hutu, and the status of Hutu in the Southern Xiongnu is very noble, but I heard that it is a miscellaneous Hu, and it seems that it is still a pre-Qin country of Huhua.

Although Hugh Tu killed Qiangqu, he was not qualified to succeed Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu. Later, it was not allowed to stand up to the white horse bronze of the bearded bones of the Marquis of Shan Yu. However, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu does not seem to have real power, and the military power of the Huns in the whole south seems to be in the hands of the king of Hugh Tu Zuogu Li.

From this point of view, this Hugh Tu Ge's mud should be advocating a hard fight with the Han army, but the 50,000 army is basically the strongest combat force of the Southern Huns. The rest of the men and horses are either those who do not want to rebel, or those who advocate wait-and-see, or those who advocate perseverance. As long as the first army of the mud was broken and then used in the prestige of Fuluo, the Southern Xiongnu were basically pacified.

Han Yi asked again: "What kind of weapons are these 50,000 rebels basically using?" How does Dazhi do it? ”

Hu Chuquan flattered: "Yu Han Taishou, the rebel chief bow, mainly the horn end bow, is made of a kind of horn horn of the cow. It is about four feet long, and it is very flexible when used on horses, but its range is not as good as that of the Han bow, and the farthest distance is only seventy or eighty paces. The arrows are made of copper, iron, and bone, and are mainly made of bone. ”

Han Yi nodded, although the Southern Huns knew about striking iron, they were not good at mining, and with the control of the Han Court, even the iron tools of the Southern Huns were not too much.

At this time, Hu Chuquan continued: "The melee weapons are mainly knives, swords, ge, spears, axes, meteor hammers, bone sticks, and horse sticks, and the most used are bone and horse sticks, and many people bring horse poles. ”

The generals around Han Yi looked carefully, and saw that the so-called bone duo was actually very similar to the desert herdsmen's talisman with a horse stick, about four feet long, about an inch in diameter, wrapped in messy strips of cloth, and a cowhide sleeve that could be put on the wrist.

This kind of thing is seen a lot in the Xianbei people, and almost everyone has the stables of the Southern Huns and the Xianbei people, which are used for self-defense when grazing, and are also called maces in the mouth of the Han people. The only difference is that a polygonal tribulus terrestris with a diameter of about three inches is installed at the top of the wooden stick, with seven or eight iron teeth on it, about ten catties.

"The other is the sword, the rebel sword is mostly made of iron, and there are a small number of copper knives. Most of the knives are installed with wooden handles, and they are divided into several shapes, such as straight back arc blade, arc back straight edge, straight back straight edge, etc., and the knife stem is divided into two types: bell head and ring head. Most of the helmets are made of bronze, with no edges and a square button on the top of the helmet. There are small holes under the ear guards on both sides, which are open on both sides, and can be worn regardless of front and back. ”

"There are very few armors, and the fish scale armor and iron armor will not exceed five hundred collars, most of which are given by the Han court, and after the Han army was defeated by the Xianbei people in the fifth year of Xiping, the Han army escaped from the horses and exchanged horses with the Southern Huns. And most of them are broken, and most of the others are leather armor. ”

Han Yi frowned and asked, "What about the Qian tribesmen in the Southern Xiongnu, they once captured 30,000 sets of weapons and equipment of the Han army from the arsenal of the prefecture and county, didn't they arm the rebels of the other departments?" ”

The three of Yu Fuluo were taken aback and shouted, "The Karma tribe? 30,000 sets of equipment for the Han army. There was indescribable surprise and envy in the words.

Hu Chuquan hurriedly said: "The rule of my Southern Xiongnu is that everything plundered by each ministry belongs to each ministry and will not be given to other departments. It seems that after the Na tribe fled to the West River, they were arranged in Yuanyang County, on the other side of the Yellow River. ”
