: Chapter 289 of "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains": The Battle of Umu (3) The Old Enemy

One hundred and twenty miles from the edge of the Umu steppe, there was a Xiongnu army stationed here, and this Xiongnu army seemed to be slightly different from other Xiongnu armies? Since the Xiongnu became a group tribe, the Xiongnu army has never been in the habit of using military flags, but in the center of the camp of this army is a military flag with a wolf totem - they are the private army of the Xiongnu prince: the Black Wolf Army!

Yi Zhixian's ambition was unimaginable, and if his ambition was to restore the Xiongnu to the strength of the Maodun Shan Yu period, it would never prove it! It must be done to restore the strength of the Maodun period, but he is not satisfied with just restoring the strength of the Xiongnu, he also wants to wave the army south to occupy the entire Central Plains, and do the grand cause that the Huns did not dare to hope for before!

There is no doubt that if Yi Zhixian wants to realize his dream, he absolutely needs to be the big Dan Yu of the entire Xiongnu group, and he has been working hard for this goal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the past, there was only one obstacle for him to sit on the throne, and that was the military minister Shan Yu who was in the prime of life, and now there was another obstacle, and that was the damn little prince Yu Dan!

History is always joking with people, in the original history, the military minister Shan Yu had a son with the Han State and the princess, and now the Han princess because of the change of history The Han State did not marry and the princess, so naturally there is no prince of Xiongnu blood and Chinese national blood. Without the Han Kingdom and the princess, there will naturally be princesses from other countries to replace, this is the eternal inertia of history, the combination of the military minister Shan Yu and the princess Kangju makes the inertia of history continue, and it is very coincidental that the name of the mixed-race child with Xiongnu blood and Kangju blood is still called Yu Dan.

Why did the military minister Shan Yu marry Kangju? To be precise, the Xiongnu had marriages with many forces and countries. At present, Kangju is a marriage country that the Xiongnu attach relatively much importance to. That's a very simple truth: Kangju is in the west of the Western Regions, and Kangju's strength is still average, and the Xiongnu have always been plotting in the Western Regions. After the marriage, Kangju will naturally cooperate with the Xiongnu in the west of the Western Regions, so that the Xiongnu will attack the Western Regions.

In fact, it is not much trouble to have it on the top at all, for the Huns, it is a common thing for the Huns to kill their father or brother to seize the throne of Shan Yu, the so-called obstacle is that Yi Zhi is weaker than them, and he cannot kill his father to win the throne for the time being, and because there are many precedents of killing his father and seizing the throne, the military minister Shan Yu will definitely suppress the development of Yi Zhi Xian. Now there is another favored prince to erode the already small interests, which has become a fatal obstacle.

Yi Zhixian has never let go of any resources for development, because of the Bank of China said that in the Xiongnu Shan Yuting secretly helped the development quite smoothly. With the help of some nobles who supported him, he formed his own private army, and with the help of the Bank of China, he quickly expanded the establishment of the private army, and he once developed enough to threaten the status and security of the military minister Shan Yu, but unfortunately he did not have the opportunity to kill the military minister Shan Yu and replace him.

To the early stage of the outbreak of the Guangmu War in Shuofang. The total number of private troops under Yi Zhi's command reached 50,000. In the Battle of Guangmu, the black wolf army of Yi Zhixian was killed by about 5,000 people, and about 10,000 people lost their combat effectiveness (disabled), so the purpose of the military ministers to weaken the strength of Yi Zhixian was achieved.

After the battle of Guangmu, Yi Zhixian's strength was greatly reduced, and he lost the help of the Bank of China, and the speed of development slowed down, so that the threat to the status of the military ministers was reduced. With no one to help, Ichigo can only wait for the opportunity, and on the other hand, try his best to strengthen his position with limited resources. Strengthen the training of private troops.

The Black Wolf of Ichi's army was trained in brutal methods, and he demanded great obedience from his soldiers during his training. Soldiers who disobey or hesitate to military orders are definitely executed immediately, and he also borrowed the command skills of Maudun and made an arrow called 'Mingdi' with his own hands, with a death order: where the Mingdi shoots, the whole army must unconditionally shoot arrows in the same direction!

Mingdi this kind of arrow is also a kind of arrow with a special meaning in the Huns, once Mao Dun used Ming Di arrow when killing his father, Ming Di shot at Mao Dun's father's body, Mao Dun's personal soldiers have long been trained to be nervous, they subconsciously shot arrows at Lao Dan Yu's body, and the result is obvious...... Lao Shan Yu was shot like a hedgehog.

Right now......

Yi Zhixian was playing with the Ming Di arrow in his hand, and he imagined countless times in his mind to shoot the Ming Di arrow at the military minister Shan Yu, and do what the great Mao Dun Shan Yu of the Huns had done again. He looked up at the grassland, where his Black Wolf Army was doing routine training, and many of the cavalry were galloping and shooting wolf-tooth arrows at humanoid targets that lay on the flat ground, and those humanoid targets looked familiar? It's simply the dress of the soldiers of the Han army!

Someone was secretly gritting his teeth, it was a Hun captain with a scar on his left cheek, his name was Crazy West.

This Huns who have fought with the Han army from the beginning are the longest living ones, and the reason why the mad west is alive is not because of his courage and good fighting or superb martial arts, but because he has a strong sense of escape, and every time he sees the wrong head, the first year that rises in his head is definitely "Hurry up!" ”

Crazy reached out and touched his left cheek, feeling the smooth touch from the skin, which was absolutely uncomfortable, representing the unique flesh of the new scar!

The last time the mad west was sent by the Xiongnu Right Xian King to the Helan Mountain tribe group to do internal response, the result was that the Helan Mountain tribe noticed that something was wrong and chased and killed, and from that time on, he no longer worked for the Right Xian King Jishan, and turned to Yizhi's side. After serving on the side of Yizhixian, he clearly felt that he had been reused, and the reason for this was because he had many experiences in fighting with the Han army.

Yi Zhi asked, "How are my soldiers compared to Lin Bin's soldiers?" ”

Crazy West found that Yi Zhixian didn't care about the failure of Guangmu last time, and Yi Zhixi's hatred for Lin Bin was not as strong as he imagined, and Crazy West didn't understand what it was for, and at the same time, he never dared to ask. Hearing Yi Zhi's questioning, he showed the humility he deserved, and replied truthfully, "Your soldiers did not have an advantage in the battle with the soldiers of the Han Tribe. ”

Obviously, Yi Zhi was very satisfied when he heard it, he was a pragmatic person, and he never liked to listen to hypocritical flattery, especially for military intelligence. He smiled, "Oh? Why? ”

As always, the mad west madness explained: "The soldiers of the Han King are relatively well-armed, and riding crossbows is only one reason, and the most important thing is that the cavalry of the Han King has stirrups, and their archery posture on horseback is better than ours, and the shooting range is relatively long." ”

Yi Zhi couldn't laugh anymore, he was quite annoyed: "Our aristocratic thinking is too stiff! They knew that stirrups and saddles could increase the combat effectiveness of cavalry, but they were unwilling to use their wealth to make them! Da Shan Yu is also old, and he doesn't have the courage he used to have! He actually believed the words of the nobles......" He stepped the stirrups under the soles of his feet to stand up, "the benefits of this thing are doubted! ”

Crazy West didn't have the courage to criticize the nobles and Da Shan Yu, he chose to shut up.

In fact, the Huns did not know the benefits of saddles and stirrups, but the nobles who held the wealth were reluctant to give up their property, and they would rather ignore some things to grasp the wealth to the death, and the military minister Shan Yu was not unaware of this, the military minister Shan Yu certainly knew the importance of those two things, but for the military minister Shan Yu to ensure the unity of the Xiongnu aristocracy during the war was more important.

The Xiongnu currently have a new type of saddle and stirrup, but the speed is very slow due to the limitation of resources, the army equipped with the saddle and stirrup is not much, the army of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting is equipped with about 20,000 cavalry, and the army of the rest of the tribes is in addition to the right Xianwang Department, the Zuoxian Wang Department, and the right valley Liwang Court of Yizhi Slope...... Other tribes either don't have the resources to build it, or the tribal nobles are unwilling to build it.

Observing the above armies equipped with new equipment, most of them are people who have suffered losses, and why does King Zuo Xian, who has not appeared, also pay attention to it, which is very boring, but now seems to be not a good time to explain?

Yi Zhixian's face was still blue just now, and he smiled again in an instant, and he was a master at the speed of changing his face. He knew that it was a loss of identity to complain about a little captain, "Don't talk about that!" Tell me how many armies the tribes that are currently receiving orders from Shan Yuting have gathered. ”

Madness swallowed his saliva wildly, and said with some concern: "The 10,000 cavalry of the Ulan Department only came with 6,000 people, and the Elthera Department did not send 10,000 cavalry as required and only 5,000 people came......

Yi Zhixian sneered, he had long lost hope that Shan Yu Wang Court still had much control over the tribes below.

Crazy West's tone became uplifting: "...... However, the Xianbei Department sent 20,000 cavalry as requested. ”

Yi Zhixian still sneered, he had never had a good impression of the Xianbei people, and he didn't pay much attention to the Xianbei cavalry who were beaten by the Han Department and had nowhere to hide, in his eyes, the Xianbei cavalry was simply dispensable, and he had to waste food to feed when he came.

"Let them all be ready, and tomorrow morning we will march to the Umu grassland!"
