Chapter 163: Winter and Summer Ice—4
However, Jia Xu didn't know the true relationship between the two of them after all. In fact, no matter for either Suning and Xia Bing, this relationship is still hidden in the clouds and mountains. Suning didn't even clarify Xia Bing's location in his heart.
At this time, Xia Bing, although she had an ambiguous good impression of Suning, but her stubborn character was that he refused to admit it after all, even to himself.
After a battle, the number of the enemy was rapidly reduced, but the enemy reinforcements were pouring in, and they were soon encircled, at this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them, the bowstring sounded, and the feathered arrows of the light cavalry knocked down a large number of enemies, buying them time to retreat.
According to Xia Bing's stubborn temperament, he would not be willing to withdraw to the chariot formation easily, however, he was currently the leader of this caravan escort, and he couldn't help but plan for his brothers.
So she led her tribe back to the chariot formation, and the light cavalry, after unleashing a few rounds of arrows, also returned to the flanks of the chariot formation.
Aetius stepped forward to briefly check Xia Bing's injury, and saw that he was fine, so he continued to command the group and conduct defensive operations, he knew that according to Attila's temperament, he would never tolerate someone playing tricks in his eyes, which was tantamount to the greatest irony for a former king.
Sure enough, not long after, I saw a large cloud of dust rising in the distance, and the rumbling sound of the heavy cavalry had been swept by the hot wind of early summer. The men in black were obviously aware of this, and if they wanted to retreat now, it would be a little too late, you know, they only had a nearby mountain of wheat to dodge, but judging by the number of cavalry, they had enough strength to surround this place until the day when they ran out of ammunition and food.
These people are just a certain family, they don't have the kind of rigorous tactical skills to resist the suffering of hunger, so they choose to escape as soon as possible, although they were caught up by two cavalry on the way to escape, but they still managed to escape Attila's clutches after paying a huge price.
The king of the Huns, who had arrived in a hurry, was obviously very dissatisfied with this result, but when he saw that his old friend Aetius was not in any serious trouble, his annoyance subsided considerably.
The pursuit of those men in black is still completed by the caravan's light cavalry, and the caravan is guarded by Attila's heavy cavalry, the speed of the heavy cavalry, sometimes can't keep up with the caravan's speed, don't look at them even with people and horses, a total of six legs, and most of the soldiers do not have more than one war horse, but they are very cherished for their war horses, which will not force them to play all the stand up and run, so most of the time they are leading the war horse to walk on land, This also caused their forward speed is not much different from the legs that are not good, and after the transformation of Suning, the caravan used a new type of Taiping car, which was widely used in the Northern Song Dynasty, the carrying capacity is very large, but its speed is very low, but after the installation of shock absorbing springs and the like, his speed and shock resistance have been significantly improved, which also allows them to surpass the heavy cavalry next to them in speed.
Akira was obviously interested in the identity of the vehicle in which they transported supplies, but he didn't know much about the craftsman's craft. He obviously didn't know how to make a lot of noise, how carefully designed and thanked the craftsmen to appear in front of everyone, but he knew that as long as his troops had enough merit, he would be able to provide him with these good tools for carrying the spoils.
In fact, it was not long before he was justified in this idea, but now he could only look at the supplies carried by these vehicles, knowing that there were many things in them that she had never seen before, although the period in which it lived was far two centuries later, and the backward productive forces still made him very curious about many goods.
Aetius has been a hostage in the Hun tribe since he was a child, so he knows very well about the living habits and common tools of the Huns, and he knows that Attila is very interested in these things in front of him, but these are very important goods, and they are an important layout of Suning in Wuwei County, he doesn't dare to give these things to Attila easily, this is not when she lived in the Roman Empire, she could get a lot of rewards for her bravery.
One thing that needs to be reminded of Attila is that Suning, the head of a Han family, or in the words of the merchants, should be called the big boss, does not seem to have a special trust in the nomads, although he is very friendly to Attila and others, and is also very generous in the trade of various tribes, however, Aetius always feels that there is a sense of conspiracy in all his layouts, and those nomadic tribes always seem to be a security hazard in his eyes, Just as the nobles of the Roman Empire saw the presence of Germanic slaves within their borders, the Germanic people, although they often showed a gesture of submissiveness, would pose a mortal threat to the prosperous Roman Empire if they caught the opportunity.
The Visigoths have made several raids on the Western Roman Empire, thanks to their Germanic contributions, and they themselves are not honest, always causing huge casualties to the Roman Empire, and the final fall of Western civilization is due to the credit of several of their barbarians, and the Han dynasty is obviously extremely guarded against this, and they have strong enough armed forces to basically come from the nomadic tribes in the north. According to the natives of the Han Dynasty who were familiar with this history, it was nothing more than a struggle between the two forces within the imperial court, that is, the soldiers and horses they dispatched were only recognized by half of the people, but only the efforts of this half of the people, and the powerful Northern Xiongnu drove away, and the weather of the Northern Xiongnu eventually caused the birth of the Kingdom of Attila. The ancestor of the Whip of God, it was precisely because he came across the strong bone of the Han Dynasty that he had to look west for the weak and delicious lamb.
These lambs were God's two Roman empires on the continent of Europa, and they became the food of the Huns, and since then they have lost the seeds of civilization and fallen into the Middle Ages, which lasted for more than a thousand years.
