And people like Tai Shici who are brilliant in archery are not outdated. Gao Yang brought special metal strong bows and metal arrows drawn from CNC lathes with extremely precise workmanship from modern time and space.

These professional equipment, as well as the sturdy horses bred by the modern time and space that Gao Yang deliberately consumed a lot of energy to transport. These things are in the hands of a powerful military general like Tai Shici, and they are completely like a tiger.

"Open!" Tai Shi Ci, who was dressed in shining cloud pattern armor, rode on the back of an Arabian horse with pure blood, his tiger eyes widened, and he let out a deep sigh of concentration, stretching the alloy strong bow in his hand to the extreme. His eyes were fixed on a Xiongnu general who had already shot five Han cavalry in quick succession.

The Hun man was tall and long-armed, and his body was burly and powerful. The arms are even more noticeably thicker. Holding an iron strong bow in his hand, he shot several Han soldiers in a row while galloping. When he quickly drew two iron arrows from his quiver again, one in his mouth and the other on the bowstring. Suddenly, he sensed a mortal threat with a beast-like intuition, and instinctively turned sideways into the horse's belly, trying to use his superb horsemanship to escape.

There was nothing wrong with the induction, but the physical reaction didn't keep up. This Condor Hand, who was famous among the Southern Xiongnu tribes, had just moved half of his body when a long steel arrow with a dark body and the thickness of a thumb pierced his chest!

Tai Shi Ci's strength is immense, and the bow and arrow he uses perfectly embodies physical mechanics and more complex science and technology. The perfect embodiment of Tai Shi Ci's superb archery skills and far beyond ordinary people's strength and explosiveness, this arrow is really like lightning!

The Condor Archer's body was frozen in an instant, and his vitality began to drain rapidly. However, this is not the end.

"Poof! Burst! ”

In a blink of an eye, two more long steel arrows shot into the Condor Archer's chest, forming a perfect triangle with the previous one. Kill three birds with one stone, the perfect skill of a marksman.

The nomads of the steppes were unable to build armor and weapons on a large scale due to the lack of iron tools all year round. Therefore. The tactics they use have always been mobile and flexible cavalry and archery tactics, and if they win, they will always harass and attack, and if they can't win, they will run away is the tactic they are best at. But today, he was forced to fight a face-to-face battle with the elite Han army. They also have no choice.

The rear of this battlefield where the two sides were fighting at this time was only dozens of miles away, and a huge grassland with fertile water and grass was where the court tent of the Right Xian King went to be humble. At this moment, there are more than 100,000 large animals under the command of King Youxian, as well as a larger number of old and weak women and children.

Qubei gathered the herdsmen under his command not to fight the nearly 100,000 Han cavalry. He was preparing to flee north with his tribe.

It's just that the speed of the cavalry led by Zhao Yun is too fast. By the time he received the information, he was already under his nose.

It was not uncommon for the cavalry of the Han army, who carried military dry rations with them and also ate on the enemy, to march nearly 200 miles in a day.

Before the assembly was completed here, the elite cavalry of the Han army over there had already pounced. In desperation, he could only take the men under his command to meet the battle in a hurry.

Qubei, who had fought for the Han family for decades, knew the Han army very well. When he saw the Han army on the opposite side, all of whom were covered in heavy armor, he immediately understood that the soft bow on his side immediately lost its effect.

It is impossible to shoot through heavy armor with a soft bow!

After losing their greatest reliance on warfare, the best choice for these nomads at this moment is naturally to leave immediately.

However, they can't go now. Behind him are the livestock, women and children of the tribe, and the court tent of the right virtuous king. These men can run away on their horses, but what about their tribe? There are no more women or children. Without livestock, how can they survive in this vast grassland?

Cornered has no choice but to be humiliated. When he couldn't get reinforcements, he could only choose to use the advantage of numbers to fight this Han army, which was obviously inferior to them in numbers, in order to get a glimmer of life. But the cruel reality shattered the extravagant hope of humility. He was indeed facing an elite team.

In fact, even if the Huns still used their best mobile cavalry, they still had no hope of winning against this new Han army.

Whether it is in terms of power, range, or even firepower density, the chain crossbows in the hands of the Han army occupy an absolute dominant position. The gap between the two sides in terms of weapons is completely the beginning and peak of the era of cold weapons.

Once the two sides fired at each other, it was bound to be the Han army that took advantage of the range advantage to shoot the Huns first and shoot the Huns under the horse with a dense rain of arrows like locusts!

The crushing of technological strength and the huge difference in weaponry made this battle very quickly.

The Xiongnu army, which was basically composed of herdsmen, quickly collapsed under the impact of the Han army's iron cavalry and steel torrent. A large number of herders died in the battle. The rest quickly suffered a psychological breakdown under this brutal killing and quickly scattered and fled.

They are just ordinary herders who live on water and grass. It has been more than 100 years since the entire Southern Xiongnu tribe went south to annex the Han Empire, and these former grassland overlords have long lost their former glory. A war of this magnitude and brutal killings of this magnitude are unacceptable to them after a long period of calm. Especially when they are at a disadvantage.

"Alas~~~," King Youxian looked at the scattered herdsmen and let out a long sigh.

The frightened herders were allowed to flee. But as the right king of the Huns, he can't leave anyway.

Moreover, the foundation of his foothold on the grassland is all in the court tent behind him. After today's defeat, everything there will be a trophy for the Han army. Having lost everything, and is still a handful of old Youxian Wang, he has no idea of escaping.

At this time, almost all the Hun herdsmen who were still alive on the entire battlefield were running around with their heads in their hands. The Han army followed in small teams, driving away the fleeing herdsmen and reaping their lives.

Even in the case of such a complete victory at this moment, the Han army is still trying its best to maintain its military formation. There was no such thing as a wanton loot. This organizational strength on the battlefield alone is enough to make Qubei completely desperate.

He knew that he was encountering one of the most elite troops of the Han Empire!

Qubei, who had no way out, took the last hundreds of cavalry elites around him upstream, and gathered together in a group of scattered Xiongnu troops to kill the middle of the Han army. At the same time, it also naturally attracted the attention of the Han army.

With the waving of the flag. The bugle sounded. The Han army shot a dense cloud of crossbow arrows at the hundreds of horsemen under his command! When a huge rain of arrows rose into the sky, the dim sunlight almost obscured it.

Heavy horse iron was imprinted on the spring mud. But it can't withstand a continuous spring rain.

The heroic warriors finally returned to dust and dust after the fierce battle. The mighty Han army eventually won a great victory. The herdsmen under the command of the Humble were beheaded and captured more than 10,000 people. The remnant was scattered. And the casualties of the Han army were almost negligible.

After defeating the resistance of the Huns into an formation, all that remained was to receive the spoils of war. This is a privilege that has been bound to be enjoyed by the victors since ancient times.

"Mother, where are we going?" A young Hun girl in ragged clothes and with a dusty face took her mother's hand and looked at the dense crowd and a large number of cattle in the distance. He asked with curiosity on his face.

"We're going to the Central Plains." The weather-covered mother held her daughter's hand tightly and whispered with a difficult expression.

The rule on the steppe is that the winner has everything. After the elite Han army defeated the desperate resistance of Qubei, they received a large number of livestock, women and children near the tent of the Youxian King.

For the sake of military honor, the Han army did not carry out large-scale massacres. However, according to Gao Yang's orders, these women and children could not be easily let go. Because once they are let go, it will not be many years before they will come back like locusts.

In the end, when the main force of the Han army in the rear arrived under the leadership of Gao Yang. These captives will be sent to the far south, where they will be diluted and assimilated. For the Han Empire, which had a population of tens of millions, such a little assimilation of the population was nothing. What's more, the men of the Huns were either killed in battle or sent to the mines.

After defeating Qubei, the military might of the Han army quickly climbed to its peak. The entire steppe was shaken by the powerful momentum of the Han army.

Countless people recall those legends that have been passed down from ancient times. The fierce and ferocious southern Han people frantically poured into the prairie like a tide. As long as you see anything alive, kill all animals, animals, and people!

Countless Huns were frightened, and they began to drive their cattle to flee in all directions. Anyway, the grassland is so big, the Han army will not go after them, poor herdsmen who don't even have an iron pot, right?

Gao Yang really wouldn't do anything to divide his troops to pursue those ordinary herdsmen. Unable to assemble into large-scale tribes, the migration of a single family has almost no way to survive.

No mention of diseases or natural disasters. The thousands of wolves in each herd of the steppe alone were enough to wipe out most of the scattered herders.

Gao Yang had already set his sights on another important person at this time. Liu Bao, the king of the Southern Xiongnu.

This bald man with a braided head, rough and dark skin, a huge gold earring nose ring, and a burly and strong body like a tiger and leopard is the leader who led the troops south to raid the Central Plains and robbed tens of thousands of Han daughters, including Cai Wenji.

Gao Yang will never let go of this kind of person. The same is true of the herdsmen under the command of King Zuoxian.

King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu has always guarded the east, and was specifically responsible for the forces that went south to attack the Han State. They don't know how many Han family children's blood they have stained with their hands for hundreds of years, how many Han family walled cities have been burned, and how many Han family wealth and women have been robbed!

They were far more than the Right Sage King who was in charge of attacking the Western Regions, which made Gao Yang grit his teeth. Before sending troops, Gao Yang had already made up his mind that he must wipe out all the troops of this Zuo Xian King! (To be continued)
