Chapter 632 European Coalition Forces

Sun Cheng was wearing heavy armor and holding a spear, rushing to the front of the team, sweeping left and right, and killing a bloody path.

The Han cavalry suddenly came out from behind, which surprised the Huns, thinking that the Han had come to reinforcements.

The cavalry charged ahead, and the crossbowmen then fired intensively at the Huns with their crossbows; Immediately behind the crossbowmen was a group of high-ranking cavalry.

Zhao Xiong attacked from the front, and the bed crossbow and the repeater crossbow cooperated, making the Huns unable to resist and suffering heavy casualties.

The Huns were attacked from inside and outside, and the formation was in disarray, and they quickly retreated westward, preparing to make peace with the main force.

Zhao Xiong and Sun Cheng didn't want to let go of these Huns easily, and led the cavalry to pursue fiercely.

The Huns were defeated and defeated, and suffered huge losses, and less than a third of them fled back.

The Han Chinese seized a large amount of baggage supplies.

For hundreds of years, the Huns had long been frightened by the Han Chinese, and now that the troops on the Eastern Front had suffered heavy losses, and the Han army camp was close at hand, they had the idea of escaping.

The western kingdom of Alan was not conquered, and the only way they could flee was the cold regions of the north.

They were afraid that they would be pursued by the Han people when they retreated, and the retreat would turn into a rout, which would lead to huge losses, and even the annihilation of the whole army.

Seeing the division of troops by the Huns, Zhao Xiong consulted the opinions of the Dayue clan on whether to pursue them or stay to annihilate these broken latter.

The people of the Dayue clan felt that these broken ones must have the confidence of death, and they were victorious, and there was not much oil and water, and the people of the Dayue clan were also in urgent need of supplies, so they chose to pursue the fleeing Huns; They believed that even if the Huns could not be wiped out, it was still possible to capture some of the booty.

Zhao Xiong respected their choice and led his troops to prepare to annihilate the severed Huns.

After the Dayue clan went to pursue the Huns, Zhao Xiong did not immediately attack, but sent people to persuade them to surrender; Zhao Xiong believed that the Huns would definitely not leave too much food behind, and even if he did not attack, these Huns would not be able to hold out for long.

These Huns are worried about the Han people, not those who go to chase the Dayue people, the Dayue people are the defeated generals of their Huns, they have never won, and the consequence of their pursuit is to be beaten by the Huns.

Six days later, as expected by the Huns, the Dayue clan returned in embarrassment, they were ambushed by the Huns, and suffered heavy losses, not only lost a large number of logistics materials, but also wiped out nearly half of the cavalry.

These Huns were overjoyed that their families were safe, and their mission was accomplished, and they were ready to surrender to the Han Chinese; If there is a chance to live, no one wants to die.

The Han people added five thousand Hun soldiers, which made the Dayue people both envious and jealous, but they now had to admire the fighting power of the Han people; The Huns were beaten by the Han and suffered heavy losses, and fled in disarray, but they were beaten by the Huns, so it seems that they are too far from the level of the Han people.

The strength of the Dayue clan is not not strong, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is not low, but their commander is really bad, so to speak, if they are more strategic, they are not even as good as a landlord of the Han people.

Subsequently, Zhao Xiong announced that the former place of the Kangju Kingdom would henceforth be the territory of the Beiliang Kingdom, and the Kushan Empire must move out.

The Da Yue clan already feared the Han people, how could they dare to disobey Zhao Xiong's orders? At this time, it was very rare for the Han people not to fall into the ground.

Sun Cheng strongly opposed Zhao Xiong's plan to annihilate the Dayue clan, and Zhao Xiong finally had to give up; He commanded the Huns to launch an attack on the kingdom of Alan.

With the help of the bed crossbow, the city gate of the Alans was quickly smashed by the bed crossbow, and the Huns took advantage of the situation to kill, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides at the city gate.

No one can back down, and if the Huns dare to retreat, the Han people who will supervise the war behind will never let them go.

For the Alans, there are families in the city, and they must fight to the death.

Zhao Xiong also did not want the Huns to be completely exhausted in the first battle, so he asked the officers and soldiers to attack the other city gates.

Attacked on several sides, the Alans eventually collapsed.

A big win.

It is still the previous measure, the old and weak are killed, and the young and young are ready to be sent to the Northern Liang Kingdom as slaves; Now the Northern Liang Kingdom is not only short of soldiers, short of people, but also short of a large number of slaves.

In order to stimulate the combat effectiveness of the Huns this time, Zhao Xiong gave each of the surviving Huns an older woman as a wife, and these Huns did not care about the age of the woman, and they all happily accepted; The wealth seized in the city went to the Han Chinese.

The ensuing wars were all extremely smooth, and the Alan army was defeated, and there was no resistance under the blows of the Huns.

Sending 2,500 high-ranking cavalry to escort all these slaves to the Northern Liang Kingdom, Zhao Xiong and Sun Cheng led the troops to quickly chase after Li Qiang and others, accompanied by the Huns, but by this time there were less than 3,000 people.

In addition, the Roman Empire suffered from a severe famine, and a large number of people starved to death, and gradually reached a balance, and the situation stabilized.

The barbarian peoples north of the Central Mountains were killed by Li Qiang, and they could no longer care about plundering the Roman Empire, which made the Roman Empire obtain a short period of peace and stability.

Those barbarian peoples are not stupid, if they continue to disperse, they will be slaughtered by the Han people, so, under the organization of the Goths, the barbarians quickly formed a strong alliance and prepared to deal with the Han together.

Under external pressure, the Germanic people also stopped their internal killings and quickly formed a Germanic alliance, each retreating to its original provinces.

Only Ma Gui was still killing along the Danube, but it was surrounded by mountains, and people of different nationalities in the middle and upper reaches of the region united to rely on favorable terrain to block the enemy, and Ma Gui's march became very slow.

At this time, the Roman emperor found an opportunity, that is, to unite several external forces to deal with the Han people, the Han people were the people who posed the greatest threat to them, and he believed that as long as the Han people were defeated, the Roman Empire could still gradually recover the provinces and restore the glory of the past.

So messengers were sent to contact the ministries; Faced with the powerful Han Chinese, the ministries had to accept the opinion of the Roman Empire, after all, the influence of the Roman Empire was still there.

Organized by the Roman Empire, the alliance became stronger.

This was a great deal for the Roman Empire, sending troops to war, reducing the consumption of domestic food, snatching spoils, alleviating the contradictions between the emperor and the military, and not only obtaining high honors after victory, but also easier to obtain the allegiance of the army.

The emperors of the Roman Empire did not have the authority of the Han emperors, and they had to make the army and their people rich, and have the capital to make their people and the army loyal, otherwise the army would rather change to a more capable emperor.

In the end, they set the primary target of attack Li Qiang, who attacked the fastest, had more troops, and had a tendency to sweep across Europe; This is also a requirement to respect the Germanic and Gothic peoples, and only by eliminating their threat can we concentrate our forces on the Magui army.

Ma Gui's attack was slow, and the losses caused to them were not large, and they could afford it, and there was time.

The choice of the European coalition is against Li Qiang's appetite, he is not afraid of the Romans, if he forms a coalition army, it just saves him the trouble of searching around.
