Chapter 71: The Soul of the Han Chinese
In the whistling north wind, two thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry quickly completed the assembly at the front.
At this moment, a black line had appeared in the endless wasteland ahead, and it quickly approached this side.
Luo Zheng looked into the distance, and said in a condensed voice: "I haven't heard that there are more than 1,000 horse thieves in Wuwei, and it is only more than two hundred miles away from Hugh Tuze, could it be that this cavalry ran over the Great Wall to plunder the Hun cavalry?" ”
Xu Chu was puzzled: "It's cold, how could the Huns come so far to plunder?" ”
"Yes or no, just go and see."
Luo Zheng waved his hand and greeted him with two thousand cavalry.
At this time, Xun Yu had already hurried to the front of the battle on horseback, and was guarded by more than ten cavalrymen.
The north wind howled, and the iron hooves churned.
In the yellow wasteland, two cavalry approached at an astonishing speed.
Closer, both sides can already clearly see each other's outfits.
Luo Zheng guessed correctly, this cavalry was indeed a Huns, at least no less than a thousand horsemen.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, the famous generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, and the powerful Xiongnu Empire turned from prosperity to decline, and many people went south to attach to the Han. Hugh Tu Ze was originally the territory of King Hutu and King Hun Evil, and was under the control of the Xiongnu Right Xian King.
After Huo Qubing defeated King Hutu and Queen Hun Evil, the Han court put Hutu Ze under the rule of Wuwei County.
After hundreds of them, the Huns rebelled and surrendered, and there were no peaceful people on the Han side.
However, since the former Han Emperor Wudi, the national strength of the Han Dynasty has been declining, and in the face of the repeated Huns, although they have organized large-scale northern expeditions several times, they have all given up halfway due to various reasons, and have not completely solved the scourge of the Huns.
The nomadic Huns in the area of Hutu Ze are also known as Hutu Hu, with 100,000 mouths and no less than 30,000 people who control the strings.
Of course, this control is the number of people who can get on the horse and fight.
The nomads were all soldiers, and in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, even women could go on horses and fight.
Of the tribes of 100,000 people, there are more than 20,000 real young men.
"It's Han cavalry!"
In front of the Hun cavalry formation, a sturdy and tall Hun man saw the way of the cavalry on the opposite side, and his eyes suddenly showed a wolf-like light, and said sharply: "Sons, the damn Han people have taken away our fertile grassland, cattle and sheep, and now the Han court is dumb and incompetent, and the glory that belongs to our Huns is coming. ”
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
Thousands of Huns howled wolf in response, and the fighting spirit was instantly ignited.
In front of the Xiliang army.
Luo Zheng rode like a fly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly bloomed with a trace of cold murderous intent.
The two thousand cavalry behind him were all murderous, desperately urging the horses to run quickly.
These cavalry included Han and Qiang, but the only thing that did not have was fear.
The Han people of this era are powerful, not physically strong, but strong in soul and faith.
In the face of nomads, the Han people have always considered themselves to be the noblest and most powerful people, and this sense of national superiority has been deeply rooted in the bones of every Han baby when it is born.
As long as it is a Han Chinese, regardless of whether it is high or low, it has a strong sense of superiority when facing nomads.
It is this kind of strength and superiority in the bones that has created the most fundamental strength of the Han people, so that the Han army has an unparalleled belief in victory in the face of foreign enemies, and has created legendary heroes and myths.
Such as the former Han famous generals Wei Qing and Huo Quai, etc., broke the once powerful Xiongnu Empire.
Another example is Ma Yuan, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who conquered the Qiang people who had been in trouble for hundreds of years in the west.
The glory and glory of this qiē were all built on the strong soul and belief of the Han people, so that the imperial armies of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty often defeated more with less, and the nomads outside the Saiwai were defeated with weak troops.
Unlike the later Song Dynasty, the blood and national integrity of the Han people were castrated under Confucian culture, and they were lost long ago, and every Han person was planted with the concept that the nomads were incomparably powerful and invincible from birth, so that they were weak, and the Northern Song Dynasty raised millions of soldiers, but in the face of only tens of thousands of troops and ethnic minorities, they were defeated in a hundred battles, lost their power and humiliated the country, and lost face.
Born in this troubled era, although unfortunate, but as a Han Chinese, I am very proud.
"Zhao Yun!"
Luo Zheng raised his hand and shouted.
"The last general!"
Zhao Yun urged the horse to catch up and rode forward.
Luo Zheng shouted: "Lead five hundred horsemen to charge the battle and break the front of the Huns." ”
"Yes."
Zhao Yun responded loudly, and then led 500 cavalry to break away from the main formation, forming a conical formation and attacking the Xiongnu cavalry formation.
The sound of the bull's horn in the desolate ground is like a golden stone cracking the sky, rushing into the sky.
On the wasteland, the Xiliang cavalry and the Hun cavalry approached at an astonishing speed.
The five hundred cavalry constantly pinched the horse's belly with their legs, and the speed of the horse had increased to the limit.
The Hun cavalry array was still a stone's throw away, and in front of the triangular cavalry formation, Zhao Yun had already pulled out the five-stone horn bow, put the five thumb-thick wolf's teeth and iron arrows on the string, and opened the bow and shot the arrows in one go.
With the piercing sound of bowstrings, five wolf-toothed iron arrows turned into five cold stars and slashed through the air.
In front of the Hun cavalry formation, the Hun man who rode his horse and galloped at the forefront heard the change of color, and a black light shot out in his eyes, and he didn't have time to think about it at all, so he swung his knife violently with all his strength, and shot the wolf tooth arrow to the throat with a knife.
The muffled sound of the blade slamming into the flesh and the muffled grunt sounded at the same time.
What frightened him even more was that although the wolf's tooth iron arrow avoided the vital point of the throat, it shot through his shoulder blade.
When did there be such a sharpshooter among the Han people?
The Hun man didn't have time to think about it, but he heard four screams sounding next to him at the same time.
Looking back, I saw that four Hun cavalrymen were shot through the throat and fell upside down from their horses.
The Hun Han's face changed sharply, and although the knife he had just tried his best to successfully knock Zhao Yun away with a five-stone ox horn bow and shoot the wolf's tooth iron arrow, his arms were so sore that he could barely hold the war sword.
What kind of archery is this, five arrows in one bow, and all of them hit the throat.
Even the most powerful marksman on the steppe has absolutely no such archery skills.
If it weren't for his superior courage and sharp reaction, he would never have been spared that arrow.
What's even worse is that the archery Dihan shoots five arrows at five people in different places.
If all five iron arrows were shot at him, would he still be able to survive?
The more the Hun man thought about it, the more frightened he became, and then he didn't wait for him to understand, the bowstring sounded again, and the five wolf tooth iron arrows all rushed to the Hun Han this time, and the Hun man's scalp exploded, and he didn't think about it, so he rolled off the horse directly.
At this moment, the five hundred Xiliang cavalry led by Zhao Yun and the surging Hun cavalry had already collided together.
The blood light burst out, and the earth-shattering shouts and screams of killing instantly tore through the sky.
Five hundred cavalry formed a triangular assault formation, with Zhao Yun as the arrow, and fiercely drilled into the Hun cavalry formation.
Zhao Yun took the lead, a spear like a dragon in the air, gorgeous but with a fierce killing force, instantly picked the five Hun cavalry off the horse, and with a shot of the Hun Han who had just grabbed a war horse.
The Hun cavalry, which had no formation to speak of, was in chaos in an instant, and a big hole was carved in the middle.
At this moment, Luo Zheng led 1,500 Xiliang cavalry to kill, and once again rushed the already chaotic Hun cavalry, fighting separately, unable to organize effective resistance at all.
"Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, each led five hundred horsemen to outflank them from the left and right wings."
Luo Zheng looked at the six roads, saw the Hun cavalry in chaos, and immediately issued a military order loudly.
"Yes."
Zhao Yun and Xu Chu responded loudly, and immediately led 500 horsemen to separate and outflank them from the two wings.
Under the leadership of these two god-killing places, the Xiliang cavalry met the gods and killed the gods, and the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha, and soon divided the chaotic Hun cavalry into more than a dozen pieces, and was killed one by one by Luo Zheng with a thousand cavalry.
In less than two quarters of an hour, more than half of the 1,000 Hun cavalry were killed, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
The rest of the Hun cavalry was frightened by the killing, let out a shout, and immediately scattered and fled.
"Kill, leave no one."
Luo Zheng shouted loudly, there is nothing to be merciful to these Huns.
Xu Chu and Zhao Yun didn't say a word, and each led 500 cavalry to chase and kill.
Luo Zheng also divided the 1,000 cavalry into 10 teams, with 100 people as a team, to chase and kill the fleeing Hun cavalry.
In the distance, in front of the army.
Xun Yu witnessed this short confrontation, although he shivered from the ground, the blood in his bones was boiling inexplicably, and he praised Luo Zhengdi's decisiveness and fierceness, and his blood was surging for the brave and good fighting of the Xiliang cavalry.
What amazed this gentleman even more was the courage of Zhao Yun and Xu Chu.
This is an era of advocating heroes, and heroes only ask about strength, regardless of origin.
The literati doctors will only admire and respect the military generals with superior military force, and will not be like the later Song Dynasty, where the scholars and doctors simply look down on the warriors, denounce the warriors as the courage of the warriors, and castrate the blood of the Han nation.
Zhao Yun is so miraculous that even a literati like Xun Yu are amazed.
