Chapter 283: The Great Han Hussar (1)
Hexi Corridor.
In order to avoid the Huns' troops, the Yue King had just issued an order to move his clan and decided to move to the distant Western Regions.
Although they are reluctant to bear the Hexi Corridor with abundant water and grass, the Yueshi people have no choice.
The powerful Huns are not something that the Yueshi people can contend with, although the Yueshi tribe has a population of more than 400,000 and more than 100,000 strong men, but the population of the Huns and the strong men are more than twice that of the Yueshi people.
Although the Great Han State had sent an envoy to say that he would form an alliance with the Yue clan to fight against the Xiongnu, the Yue King did not have much expectation for the Han people, and the former Central Plains Empire (Great Qin) did have a strong cavalry army, and also defeated the Huns to the ground, and did not dare to go south to herd horses for 30 years, but now, the cavalry of the Central Plains people is declining.
Therefore, the king of the Yue clan finally decided to migrate to the distant Western Regions.
On the Guzang Plain, the men of the Yueshi tribe are busy loading tents, pottery, wood and other necessities into the ox carts, while the women are busy collecting cattle, sheep and livestock.
"Oh oh oh ......" A teenage Yueshi boy was holding a long whip and was driving his flock of sheep forward, and suddenly, he seemed to feel or heard something, and when he looked back, he saw that a faint black line had ghostly appeared on the horizon in the northeast direction, that was ...... Huns?!
"Huns!" The young man threw down his long whip and shouted in panic as he ran back, "The Huns are here!" ”
"The Huns are coming!"
"The Huns are coming!"
"The Huns are coming!"
In less than a moment, the news of the Huns' killing spread throughout the Yue's royal court, and the Yue's men who were tidying up their makeup threw down their work one after another, hurriedly copied the wooden horse fork of the forked grass or pulled out the bronze short sword that was no more than two feet long from the bag, and then turned over and rushed to the outer edge of the royal court.
At this time, the Yueshi tribe was still in the Bronze Age.
In fact, in the world at that time, Europe, Egypt and Asia Minor had generally entered the Iron Age, but in the Eastern world, only the Huaxia people mastered the iron smelting technology, and the surrounding Xiongnu, Donghu, Yueshi, Qiang and other barbarian tribes were basically still in the Bronze Age or even the Stone Age. &*.. Fastest Update**
In many film and television dramas in later generations, the Huns and the Yueshi basically used scimitars, which is a joke at all, the real scimitars were not introduced to the East from the West until the Sui and Tang dynasties, that is, the famous Damascus scimitar, before that, there was no scimitar in the Eastern world at all, and with the iron-smelting technology of the Qin and Han dynasties, it was impossible to create a curved steel knife.
Therefore, at this time, whether it is the Huns or the Yueshi people, the main weapons are only bronze short swords in addition to bows and arrows, and only the warriors in the clan are qualified to be equipped with bronze short swords, and the general Hu cavalry can only use horse forks with forked grass, or bone spears polished and carved from animal bones.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the more than 60,000 cavalry of the Yue Clan's royal court completed the assembly.
Although the entire Yueshi tribe has more than 100,000 cavalry, but scattered in the entire Hexi Corridor hundreds of oasis nomads, the Yueshi King is eager to gather all the cavalry in the tribe to the royal court, it is absolutely impossible, in fact, the Yueshi King can gather more than half of the cavalry in the royal court, it is already very good.
If the king of the Yue clan can migrate to the Western Regions with these more than 60,000 cavalry, then the vitality of the entire Yue tribe can be basically preserved, and after arriving in the Western Regions, he can quickly occupy a piece of water and grassland with this powerful force, so that the Yue tribe can reproduce again, but unfortunately, the Huns came too quickly. …,
When the king of the Yue clan arrived with hundreds of warriors, the Huns were already not far away.
I saw that the grassland in the northeast direction has been completely covered by the gray Hun cavalry, looking around, from a few miles away in front of me to the end of the field of vision, there are all moving horse heads and black pressure boundless human heads, the whole grassland can no longer see a little bit of green, the king of the Yue clan can't help but sink his heart, the Hun cavalry is really a lot!

"Woo ......" Mao Dun gently drank his crotch mount while gently raising his right hand.
Suddenly, the Hun cavalry array sounded a low horn horn, accompanied by the continuous sound of the horn, the Hun cavalry that was surging forward slowed down their horses, and finally stopped completely.
Mao Dun looked back leisurely, only to see the shadow of the Hun cavalry behind him, like the boundless ocean, in an instant, Mao Dun's chest swelled with an inexplicable pride, and immediately stretched out his right index finger to press forward gently, and instructed Gao Aduo, the king of Zuogu Li, who was accompanying him, to say: "King Zuogu Li, send a messenger to persuade him to surrender." ”
"Whoa!" The king of Zuogu Li rushed to hug his chest in response, and then turned back and waved, and a Hun cavalry had already crossed the crowd and rushed towards the Yueshi cavalry array a few miles away on the opposite side.
In less than a moment, the Xiongnu envoy arrived in front of the Yueshi array.
"Stop coming!" A warrior of the Yue clan stepped forward and blocked the Xiongnu envoy.
Although the Xiongnu envoy reined in with his horse, he still held his head high and said proudly: "The envoy of the Great Huns, I came to pass the word on the order of Da Dan Yu, where is the king of the Yue clan?!" ”
The king of the Yue clan stepped forward immediately and said, "This king is here, what does the envoy have to say?" ”
The Xiongnu envoy glanced at the Yue clan coldly, and said loudly: "Listen to the king of the Yue clan, I am the heir of the Heavenly Wolf God's relics, and I am the co-master of the entire grassland!" My Great Huns have a vast grassland, countless cattle and sheep, and millions of elite cavalry! ”
"My Great Hun millions of cavalry are working hard, even Qilian Mountain can be broken, my Great Hun millions of cavalry are holding their bows, and the feather arrows they shoot can even cover the sun in the sky, if your small Yue tribe doesn't want to be wiped out, if your Yue Clan King doesn't want his head to be cut down by Da Dan Yu as a wine bottle, he can only raise his clan to surrender to my Great Huns!"
"Damn!"
"How can it be!"
"This guy is too arrogant!"
"King, kill this guy!"
"That's it, our Yue's people aren't scared, hum!"
Suddenly, dozens of thousands of commanders and thousands of commanders gathered around the king of the Yue clan shouted one after another, but all the nomads on the grassland, all the time fighting against the harsh natural environment, there will always be a little bloody, in the face of the Xiongnu envoy so unscrupulous contempt and threat, how many months can the clan people bear?
The king of the Yue clan snorted, stretched out his hand and shouted, "Bring this king's treasure carving bow!" ”
There are already Yue's warriors to offer the treasure carving bow, the Yue's king took the bow in his hand, and drew a branch of wolf's tooth heavy arrow buckled on the string, the Hun envoy saw that the situation was not good, Le turned the horse's head and left, said that it was too late and that was fast, the Yueshi king had already pulled the bowstring, and then loosened the string, with the sound of the urn, the Hun messenger who could run out of two steps had already fallen off the horse.
Seeing this, the Yueshi cavalry in the front rows immediately cheered like a tsunami.

Before the Huns.
Seeing the king of the Yue clan shoot the Hun envoy, Mao Dun was not only not angry, but the corners of his mouth bloomed with a sneer, and he raised his right hand again and pressed it forward gently, and said lightly: "Hugh slaughter department, evil department, all attack." ”
King Hugh Tu and King Hun Evil bent slightly on horseback, and hugged their chests with their right hands to show their obedience, and then loudly drew their double-edged long swords and raised them high above the top, and then led forward fiercely, the more than 30,000 Hugh Tu cavalry on the left wing and the more than 20,000 Hun evil cavalry on the right wing drew out their bronze short swords or raised their horse forks, howling and rushing towards the Yueshi cavalry array in front. …,
Gao Aduo, the king of Zuogu Li, was puzzled, and asked Mao Dun: "Da Danyu, Hugh Tu people and evil people are all cowards, we only need 5,000 warriors to defeat their 50,000 cavalry, why send them to take the lead?" If this is defeated, it will be the face of our ploughmen and our Huns. ”
"Gao Aduo, what do you know?" Mao snorted sullenly, and then glanced sideways at the uncle beside him.
Greeted Mao Dun's appreciative eyes, the uncle said that the corners of his mouth bloomed with a faint smile, let the two new tribes of Hugh Tu and Hun Evil take the lead, it was the uncle who said that he made a suggestion to Mao Dun, and the uncle said that he believed that the plough tribe that belonged to Mao Dun was the core tribe of the Xiongnu, and only the plough tribe was strong enough that the Xiongnu could be strong.
Therefore, it is necessary to let the Hutu tribe and the Hun evil tribe take the lead, so that the sharp energy of the Yue's cavalry can be consumed first, so that the warriors of the Plough tribe can launch a fatal blow to the Yue's cavalry, and at the same time, this move can also take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Hutu tribe and the Hun evil tribe, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

In front of the Yueshi Formation.
Seeing the Hun cavalry on the left and right flanks attacking, the king of the Yue clan did not hesitate to draw his long sword and lead forward, and the more than 60,000 Yue cavalry who were waiting behind him urged their mounts one after another, howling to meet the surging Hun cavalry in front, and in the sound of the tide of horse hooves, the Yue cavalry quickly gathered into a wave of turbulent cavalry hurricane.
In less than a moment, the two cavalry were within range of their respective bows.
The next moment, a large number of arrows had already swept up from the Yue's cavalry array and the Hun cavalry, and then intertwined into a dense rain of arrows in the air, and then viciously fell towards their respective targets.
At this moment, the click of broken bones, the dying wails of soldiers on both sides, and the mournful neighing of war horses when they fell, almost shattered the sky, whether it was the Yueshi cavalry or the Hun cavalry, they fell in a pool of blood in rows under the invasion of arrow rain......
