The standard configuration of the Han cavalry is a pair of high riding boots; a four-stone bow, five quivers; a military crossbow and a row of crossbow arrows; riding a knife; A short blade, depending on personal preference, it can be made separately; a hydration bladder; a leather cape; Two marching bags, one of which contained several packs of medicine and two bandages, and the other containing dry rations and beans for horses; Finally, a leather blanket for a night break.

This is a rigid configuration, and then according to the division of labor of the cavalry, a different number of horses are equipped. For example, rangers and sentinels will have three horses per person, or even four horses, light riders will have two horses for one person, and heavy riders will have war horses and various pack horses......

Some of these configurations were slowly evolved by the Han army itself according to the development of the war, while others were made by the Han Shengzu when he established the Han army. No matter how it came about, in short, the Han army cavalry actually had the conditions that Shen Yun wanted to be as fast as the wind and rush thousands of miles!

On the night of July 28, 1003, Shen Yun and the two cavalry quietly touched a depression on the east side of Kuyuan Mobu, where there was a large coniferous forest, and further east was the territory of Morxi's cadres. This kind of junction between grassland and forest, unless there is some festival, there have always been few people, and it is most suitable for Shen Yun and them to hide here.

When night fell, Shen Yun didn't say much, just pulled off his mask and silently waved his hand at the cavalry behind him, and the three thousand six hundred cavalry led by Shen Yun, Wen Cui, and Zhong Lisi were like devil's claws stretched out from the woods, instantly turning into three whip-shaped teams, and slammed towards Ku Yuan Mobu.

The purpose of this attack on Ku Yuan Mobu was very simple, to destroy the logistics supply transit station of the Xiongnu Red Banner Army. There are only two ways to destroy such a place on the steppe - kill, burn, and rob! The three-light policy is king!

The total population of the Ku Yuan Mo tribe exceeded 40,000, and if the high priest's tent was to blow the horn of gathering troops, those Hun men who were born to live on horseback would have an organized resistance to the Han army, although it was a low-powered Keba army, but it would definitely cause unimaginable difficulties to Shen Yun's "Red Fox Division". For this. Shen Yun has already dealt with it - Zhao Xin's task is to take care of anyone and everything after the battle is launched, and directly take the big account of Ku Yuan Mo's department and get Ku Yuan Mo's head!

Zhao Xin's terror on the battlefield is undoubted. If the battle of Chaganhu only made this man shine, then a battle of blood and fire in Zimu can be regarded as completely quenching his good steel.

The current Zhao Xin, standing there ordinarily, is like a sharp blade out of the sheath, and the awe-inspiring murderous aura seems to be able to hurt people invisibly - of course, this murderous aura has become "pretending to be B" in Shen Yun's mouth - no matter what, believe that "a little cold comes first." Then Zhao Xin, who shot out like a dragon, his ability to take the head of the enemy general in a million army is absolutely terrifying!

And the guard officers under his command are all veterans who have followed Shen Yun since Chaganhu, and have experienced the bloody battle of Zimu, the loyalty and combat power of these veterans are already top-notch, and the division and combined attack on the battlefield, and the left and right wing protection can no longer be skilled. easily tore through the protective front that was not there at all.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Xin was able to quickly penetrate the Ku Yuan Mo Division. The most important thing is that there is an internal response - the merchants of the Yan family trading house here have already marked the location of the tent of the high priest of Ku Yuanmo.

It starts with the hour. The turmoil in the Hun camp never stopped. In accordance with Shen Yun's orders, the Red Fox Department of the Flying Cavalry Guard did not fight with the stubborn enemy, attacked separately, maintained the speed of the horse, and bypassed the camp that was difficult to break away, and saw someone on the horse. Shoot men, women, and children!

Ku Yuan Mobu didn't expect that the Han army would suddenly rush in, and it was night, so it couldn't form an effective resistance at all. Before that, of course. The Han army's attacks on the Huns were not once or twice, and it should be said that the Huns were also more experienced in dealing with them. But they had never encountered a Han cavalry like the Red Fox Tribe, which did not seem to have the purpose of occupation and killing!

Yes, Shen Yun didn't intend to completely occupy this place. After all, there are tens of thousands of Huns, and he only has 3,600 people, so it is impossible for this man to occupy this place, he just wants to disrupt this place, and then destroy the logistics and supply capacity here as much as possible, and at the same time take the head of the high priest of Ku Yuanmo.

So the Han army was targeting the stables, the hay bales, the armory, and, of course, the tent that stood on sorghum.

……

When the Han army attacked, Shu Ke was in the tent of the high priest of Ku Yuanmo, salivating as the delicate maids were crushed and ravaged by the high priest.

Ku Yuanmo didn't treat these female slaves as human beings, and often ravaged them to a certain point, and would wantonly reward these female slaves to the guards around them. So it's a beauty difference to protect Ku Yuan. Shuke has been thinking about it for a long time.

But tonight, before Hu Yuanmo finished venting for the first time, he heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves from the distant grassland, and there was already a commotion in the tents farther away, and the louder noise and whistling sound came from far and near, like the sound of empty thunder.

"What happened?" Ku Mimo yelled angrily in the tent.

Shu Ke didn't know what was going on, he was looking at a pair of beautiful legs exposed under Ku Yuanmo's fat belly, he was awakened by this roar, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly ran outside the tent to take a look, and suddenly, the saliva he had just collected flowed down again - but this time it was not greedy, but frightened.

I saw that between the pitch-black heaven and earth, three fire dragons from the southeast, west, and west directions instantly inserted into the station of Kuyuan Mobu, and the fire dragon passed by, and the fire also spread in an instant, forming a larger fire field. Screams and howls everywhere! It's a post-apocalyptic scene!

At this moment, Shu Ke realized that it was the Han army that had killed! For Ku Yuan Mobu, who lives here all the year round, although the sneak attack of the Han army is not the norm, he is always mentally prepared. But the three columns in front of him are advancing rapidly, and constantly causing riots and turmoil, but the technique has never been seen before.

Immortal Heaven is above, he is only nineteen years old, and he has never even seen a real battlefield!

When Shu Ke was still stunned, Hu Yuan Mo was already barefoot, shaking his fat body and rushing out of the tent, he was also stunned when he saw this situation, but then he slapped the back of Shu Ke's head and scolded angrily: "Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and blow the trumpet and gather the troops! My warrior Chagama, how can there be such a stupid son as you as a steppe pig! ”

Shu Ke immediately came to his senses and hurriedly arranged to blow the trumpet. There are many models of the horns of the Huns. Generally, the horn of the army needs to be carried by two people - for a tribe of tens of thousands of people, the horn is too small to carry the sound that far. At the same time, more than a dozen guards also hurriedly raised small horns, and with the sound of large horns, the news of the gathering of troops was transmitted.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The dull sound of trumpets spread throughout the Kuyi Mobu, which had fallen into complete confusion, and immediately dozens and hundreds of Huns rode on horseback and galloped towards the sorghum - everyone knew that in such a situation, only by gathering together could it be possible to resist the sneak attack of the Han army, and each of them was fighting for death. There was no gathering in such a chaotic situation. The Huns who fled in a panic alone could trample their own people to death.

Hu Yuan Mo grabbed a leather blanket and scolded loudly with his bare feet, forming the guards around him into a simple formation. It should be said that Ku Yuanmo still has a little ability, plus the crown on his head that represents the status of a priest. Suddenly the chaos on the sorghum became a little clearer.

At this time, many Huns were already riding horses and rushing to the sorghum. Gathering around the priests' tents. However, Shu Ke is a fool, and he can't sort them out in a timely and effective manner, just shouting and screaming there, letting the newcomers line up on the periphery for a while, and letting the newcomers go to the back to increase the thickness of the formation...... For a time, the outside of the priest's tent became a pot of porridge.

That's when it happened. Another team on horseback galloped towards the sorghum, without torches, and could not see who it was. Shuke rode on his horse and opened his mouth to shout, "Inside." There's still a place inside, new arrivals go inside, get out of the way! ”

This kid is not good at anything else, but his voice is quite loud, and for a while, the team in front of him made way of a gap in the body of a horse. At this moment, the approaching team finally let the Huns with torches in front take a closer look.

"My mother, it's Han Jun!" When the Huns at the front saw through the firelight that the rushing team was actually wearing a Han army uniform wearing Qiushan armor and a red cloak, they suddenly screamed in fright, the torches fell to the ground, and they subconsciously wanted to touch the bow and arrow on their waists.

But it was too late, and in such a dark weather, when the torch could see people clearly, it was already in the twentieth steps.

"Ring shot! Rush in! "The first Han general, a cold and hard voice came out from under the mask, and the two eyes that seemed to be flashing with bloodthirsty cold light in the dark night bloomed with palpitations at this moment!

Waves of arrows that seem to be erratic and seem to turn around in the Han army rushed out in the ranks of the Han army - this is the unique "ring archery technique" of the flying cavalry guard, in fact, it is with the help of horse speed, when drawing the bow and arrows, the arrows form a very small arc in the air - it is easy to say, but in practice, it is difficult to complete without a few years of training, and the whole world, there are only a few legions that can perfectly release the strongest tactics of this "ring shooting"!

Ring shots can effectively avoid the shield of the enemy in front of you - of course, not 100%, but to form a visual difference, making hundreds or thousands of arrows look drifting, like a ring splitting the head and covering the face, so that the enemy on the opposite side has the illusion that even if they hold the shield, they cannot be blocked.

This tactic is difficult to take advantage of in the daytime frontal battlefield, after all, when the line of sight is clear, the effect of the ring fire is not good. But at this moment, the sky was dark, only the torches were shining, and when the Huns reacted, the cold light of the arrows was almost in front of them, which was enough to be fatal - the screams suddenly came out from the Hun ranks, and the formation became even more scattered!

After the Han general in front of him shot two rings of arrows, he immediately pulled out his crossbow, pulled the trigger in front of him, and shot a string of arrows, and then regardless of whether he missed or not, he directly drew a spear from his back and shouted: "Rush in, kill Ku Yuanmo!" The Han army is mighty! ”

"The Han army is mighty!!" All the Han soldiers shouted at the same time, imitating the Han generals, shooting their crossbows, taking out their respective blades, and preparing to charge into battle.

In the face of the Huns, the Han army had an absolute psychological advantage. Not to mention that there is such a group of unorganized Keba troops on the opposite side, even if it is a tightly arranged Wang Qi army, the Red Fox Department also has the courage to rush!

"Kill!" The first Han general picked out a Hun who was still hesitating whether to raise a shield or a bow, and then killed the Huns in a single shot along the position that the Huns had given way before. If you see someone, you will pick, and if you can't pick it, you will shoot it horizontally, you will die when you see it, and you will die next to it, and there is no enemy in the contact surface!

"The Captain is mighty!" The morale of the Han soldiers behind the Han general was greatly boosted. Shouting and rushing in.

This captain, of course, is Zhao Xin and Zhao Xian! The spear plus the tip of the spear is actually only one meter eight, in the cold weapon battlefield where maces are often used and mountain splitting hammers, the spear is actually not easy to use, and it requires too many skills, but Zhao Xin is a man and a gun, and the gun is like a dragon, killing through the enemy formation without a trace of hindrance.

Even several Huns with maces and other heavy weapons slashed down at him in front of him, and I don't know how Zhao Xin did it. With a quick grip on the barrel of the gun, with a shake, those maces flew out of the hands of the Huns, followed by a few thorns as fast as lightning, and a few clumps of blood bloomed in the throats of the Huns......

It was nothing short of a one-sided massacre.

The Shuke in the formation wet his crotch the moment he found that the Han army was approaching. Then he didn't know how to drop, and shouted in the sky: "The Han army is coming!" Then he pulled the reins of the horse. Slammed the horse's belly. Just run to the rear of the horse - this series of equestrian control skills is really skillful, worthy of the title of a nation that grows on horseback!

But in this way, who else among the Huns has the will to fight? What's more, the Han general at the beginning was so majestic, he only took a dozen steps into the formation, and there were more than a dozen lives under the gun, and the wolf-like Han army rode up again. Completely stunned the Huns!

So, in the next second, all the Huns shouted "the Han army is coming" and fled in all directions.

Zhao Xin was about to pick up the scimitar of a Hun in front of him, and the gun had been stabbed out. But I saw that the man disappeared into thin air on the horse's back, and the horse also made a difficult turn at this time, and then suddenly exerted his hind hooves and ran!

Zhao Xin was wondering, and on the originally empty saddle, another person suddenly came around - it turned out that the Huns just now actually used the unique skill of hiding in the pedal, and the horses under the crotch at the critical moment were powerful, and they suddenly escaped Zhao Xin's fatal blow!

This situation made Zhao Xin a little crying and laughing.

What, isn't the technique of hiding in the kick supposed to be used on the rushing side? Can you still use it to escape like this?

At this time, the priest's tent was already close at hand, Zhao Xin rushed up first, and suddenly a ball of meat rushed out of the tent gate, almost startled Zhao Xin, who rushed up from the horse, and the war horse under his crotch was also suddenly frightened, and instinctively jumped high, dodging the swooping meat ball, and the horse's head also slammed into the tent.

"Bang" the priest's tent is quite strong. After Zhao Xin hit it so strongly, he just shook it and dropped the money with a poof.

The horse's body crashed into the tent, the five-colored colored stripes fell, and at the same time, countless gold leaves fell from the tent, and the sound of the "clanging" gold leaves hitting the armor made Zhao Xin a little dazed.

What's the situation? Someone is throwing money at me?

In just the blink of an eye, Zhao Xin came to his senses, and when he turned his head, the ball of meat actually rolled towards the back of the camp at an incredible speed.

"It's Priest Ku Yuanmo!" Behind Zhao Xin, a Han sergeant shouted.

Zhao Xin was stunned, immediately turned his horse's head, and shouted: "Catch Ku Yuanmo, and the military commander may turn around!" Kill! ”

The morale of the Han army was suddenly boosted, military honors, who doesn't want it? The Han army rode without even looking at the gold leaves that had fallen all over the ground, and chased after the meat ball of Ku Yuanmo.

It's strange to say, the meat ball is obviously a person, but Zhao Xin always can't catch up with him.

"Horses, run! Catch up with him! Zhao Xin secretly shouted, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and even used spurs, and the war horse under his crotch also ran with all his strength, but the meat ball was about thirty steps in front of them, and he just couldn't catch up.

At this time, the Han soldier who had just loudly called out Hu Yuanmo's identity suddenly said: "It's not good, Du Wei, that Hu Yuan Mo practiced the 'round body technique' among the Xiongnu priests, and we can't catch up with it alone!" ”

Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, he was also a simple person, as soon as he heard this, he immediately stopped, stared hatefully at the meat ball that was rolling farther and farther, took out a four-stone bow, and shot it with a full bow, the arrow flew into the darkness with the sound of the wind, only to hear a painful snort in the distance, the arrow was shot, but the Hu Yuan Mo rolled farther, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

At this moment, the resistance of the entire Ku Yuan Mo Department was completely collapsed, and Zhao Xin gritted his teeth and said: "Go back to the Convergence Department Marshal and clean the Hu Yuan Mo Department." ”

"Whoa!" A group of Han soldiers were ordered to disperse.

Zhao Xin grabbed the Han soldier who had just spoken, and asked, "What is the 'round body technique'?" ”

The soldier lifted his mask, and it was Wang Lun, who was very familiar with the Huns.

Wang Lun grinned: "The 'Circle Body Technique' is a kind of exercise practiced by the Xiongnu priests, which is similar to the martial arts practiced by our Han secret guards. However, the Xiongnu priests had many exercises, which they practiced according to their different physical characteristics. The 'round body technique', as the name suggests, is to train the body into a ball, once you run, you can use the body to shrink into a ball, faster than a galloping horse! And because he relies on himself, he consumes very little physical strength, according to our horsepower, even if we chase ten miles, we can't catch up, not to mention that the sky is so dark, once we chase deeply, I am afraid that there will be unforeseen ......"

Zhao Xin nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, come back with me to restore your life!" You've done a great job tonight, and with you, we'll do more with less! By the way, did the Xiongnu priests practice this kind of 'round body technique'? ”

Wang Lun said: "That's not necessarily. The subordinates said that they were practiced according to the physical characteristics of each of the priests. In fact, most of the priests' exercises are to escape for their lives, after all, the priests, especially the high priests, have a high status among the Huns, they are not like the chieftains, and they cannot survive without the tribe. As long as these priests are not caught and killed, even if the entire tribe is gone, they can still live well. Therefore, most of the priests learned the method of escaping for their lives. ”

Zhao Xin said depressedly: "Isn't it difficult to arrest them?" ”

Wang Lun smiled awkwardly: "Otherwise? The imperial military medal is set, and if you capture a Hun priest alive, you can record the first-class military medal, do you think the first-class military medal is very easy to get?! ”

"Haha, anyway, it's quite easy for me to get the military medal this time!" Zhao Xin laughed happily. (To be continued......)
