Chapter 495: Blood Soaked in Yanze

At the foot of Yanran Mountain, hit the iron city. k update

When the sky was about to fall, the tragic battle finally came to an end, more than 3,000 Hun guards almost all died on the spot, only hundreds of Hun cavalry saw that the general trend had gone before they chose to flee, but they should not be afraid of war, but ran to find Maotun to report the news, after all, such a big change happened in Mobei, someone had to rush to report the news.

The desperate counterattack of the Huns caused great casualties to the Chu-Yan coalition army, especially the more than 3,000 Hun guards were all equipped with iron weapons that had just been built, which greatly increased their combat power, and after the fierce battle, the three thousand Yan cavalry who rushed to the front were almost wiped out, and the Chu State Xiao cavalry also suffered more than 1,000 casualties!

More than 3,000 Hun protectors, but more than 4,000 allied troops were killed and wounded!

This is still a coalition army composed of the Chu army's Xiaocai and the Yan army's elite cavalry, although they have just gone through a long and rapid march for more than a month, and have experienced the bloody battle of Shan Yuting, but no matter what, they are all elites of a hundred battles, and they have suffered so many casualties under the siege of absolutely superior forces, what does this mean?

This shows that the Huns, equipped with sharp iron weapons, were very terrible in the field!

Looking at the blood-soaked desert and the corpses lying all over the ground, Bi Shu couldn't help but feel dark in his heart, it turned out that the king's worries were not superfluous, once the Huns were equipped with sharp iron weapons, it was like a tiger with wings, even if it was the elite of the forbidden army, the field heads-up was not the opponent of the Huns.

When looking at the hundreds of blacksmith furnaces in the iron city ahead, Bi Shu must also admit that the king's strategic vision is absolutely unmatched. When others didn't feel anything at all, the king had insight into the threat of the Xiongnu from the end of the day, and did not hesitate to consume national strength and miss the opportunity to rob the Han State, but also joined forces with the Han State to eradicate the Xiongnu first.

What is insight into thousands of miles, this is insight into thousands of miles, what is foresight, this is forward-looking!

Bi Shuzheng sighed with emotion. There was a sudden loud commotion in front of him, and when he looked up hurriedly, he saw that Prince Yan Zangyan and the last remaining three hundred or so horsemen were frantically slaughtering the blacksmiths in the iron city. More than 20,000 Central Plains blacksmiths (a small number of blacksmiths and a large number of apprentices) who had been watching from the wall were scattering and running.

Obviously, Zang Yan's eyes were red, so he spread his anger on these Central Plains blacksmiths.

This idiot. Bi Shu couldn't help but scold Zang Yan in his heart, and didn't look at what time it was and what kind of place was this? You must know that this is an iron-fighting city in the depths of the desert, once the killing of the Yan army frightens these blacksmiths, and then let them flee into the Yanran Mountain, it will be difficult to gather them together!

If these blacksmiths are allowed to stay in the desert, even if the Xiongnu cannot escape this catastrophe and fall, the next nomadic people to occupy the desert will quickly become strong with the advanced iron-smelting technology brought by these blacksmiths, and once again pose a mortal threat to the Central Plains Dynasty, so that it will be. The ploughing of the Chu Yan coalition army will become meaningless!

At that moment, Bi Shu instructed Hu Yan: "Hu Yan, you lead your troops to stop Prince Yan, and then send a large number of scouts and rangers to block and fight the iron city, and you must not let a blacksmith go out of the city!" "Wow!" Huyan suddenly responded and took the order.

Bi Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Slowly walked down the city that had not yet been built, and now it was time to consider what to do with the more than 20,000 blacksmiths, as well as a large number of Central Plains women and children in Shan Yuting, if it was possible, Bi Shu certainly didn't mind taking them back, however. Is it possible to return with more than 300,000 women, children, and craftsmen?

If the Maudun army returns quickly, and then intercepts this woman and child craftsman, the consequences will be unimaginable!

All of a sudden, Bi Shu fell into a fierce battle between heaven and man, and reason told him that he must ruthlessly and without hesitation execute all the women and children and craftsmen of the Central Plains who were captured by the Huns in Mobei, but Bi Shu really couldn't make up his mind, if the Huns killed them, they would have been killed, but these hundreds of thousands of people were all robes. …,##########

Juyanze, Xiongnu camp.

Under the thunderous onslaught of more than 30,000 Han hussars, more than 10,000 Hun cavalry who were put into battle one by one were quickly defeated and retreated, although this Hun cavalry had more than 10,000 horsemen, but there were not many equipped with iron weapons, so their performance on the battlefield was far inferior to that of the Hun guards who fought in the iron city, and basically did not pose much threat to the Han hussars.

In the era of cold weapons, there are many factors that affect the combat effectiveness of an army, and the most important factor is, of course, training, followed by morale, that is, the will to fight, and finally the quality of equipment.

In terms of training alone, the Chu army and the Han army hussars are all well-trained, while the Huns have lived on horseback since childhood, and it is their instinct to ride horses and shoot arrows, so the three armies are not much different in this regard.

In terms of morale, the three armies are similar, and they all lack the will to fight to the death.

But in terms of equipment, the Chu army horsemen equipped with the ring-headed sword are undoubtedly the strongest, followed by the Han army hussars who use double-edged heavy swords, and finally the Hun cavalry that uses wooden horse forks or bronze short swords, but the gap between the Chu and Han armies is limited, and the Huns are a whole era behind the Chu and Han armies, and the disadvantages are obvious.

Because of this, the Chu army had a difficult victory against the Hun guards equipped with iron weapons, while the Han hussars won relatively easily against the Hun guards who were only equipped with bronze weapons.

Zhou Guanfu was soaked in blood, and rode back to Bai Mo on a red dragon horse, and while inserting the blood-dripping halberd back into his back, he said excitedly: "Prime Minister, this time we have made a lot of money, the last general just roughly estimated, there are at least millions of cattle, sheep and livestock here, and hundreds of thousands of war horses, hahaha...... Bai Mo smiled slightly and said: "War horses can be taken away, but cattle and sheep may not be taken away." Seeing Zhou Guanfu's stunned look, Bai Mo explained: "Ju Yanze is only four or five hundred miles away from the Yueshi Royal City, and Mao Dun will definitely bring a large army back to help after knowing the news. Zhou Guanfu said with annoyance: "This is really a pity." "But it can't be left to the Huns." There was an inexplicable cruelty in Bai Mo's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "You will lead the troops to slaughter all the cattle and sheep, first tie them behind the horse's tail and drag them until they are eroded, and then throw them into Juyanze." "That's all there is to it." Zhou Guanfu nodded, and asked again, "Prime Minister, what about the hundreds of thousands of Hun women and children?" "Are there hundreds of thousands of Hun women and children?" Bai Mo groaned, the corners of his mouth suddenly bloomed with a trace of cold murderous intent, and said, "Kill them all, not a single one will be left!" "If it is possible, Bai Mo doesn't mind bringing these hundreds of thousands of Hun women and children back to Guanzhong along with millions of cattle, sheep and livestock, in any case, this can greatly supplement the population of Guanzhong, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless, but the Hun army of Maodun will soon be able to catch up, time is really not allowed." Here! Zhou Guanfu responded abruptly, turned around and left.

In the clash of different civilizations in the Cold Weapon Era, genocide is actually the norm, because both sides know very well that in order to make the other party surrender, the number of strong men on the other side must be controlled below a dangerous level, so Zhou Guanfu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Bai Mo's military order at all. "Wait." Bai Mo suddenly called Zhou Guanfu again. "Prime Minister?" Zhou Guanfu turned back and asked in amazement.

Bai Mo pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Think about it carefully, it's better not to kill all of the hundreds of thousands of women and children and millions of cattle and sheep, in this way, kill the vast majority of them, and only leave a small part for the Huns!" "Leave a small part?" Zhou Guanfu was puzzled and asked, "Prime Minister, why is this?" "You don't ask why." Bai Mo shook his hand and said, "Just do what I tell you." Zhou Guanfu responded again, turned around and walked away, and after a while, the endless wails of Hun women and children and the endless wails of cattle, sheep and livestock sounded on the bank of Juyanze, and the blood of millions of people and animals almost soaked the entire Juyanze into a sea of blood......... ##########

Mi Ze, the Hun battalion.

Mao Dun's Shan Yu in the big tent swayed, the uncle said that he was busy giving Mao Dun gold needles on the soft couch, and in front of the couch stood a group of tribal leaders such as Gu Nuoyan, the right sage king, and all of them looked nervous, the air in the big tent was about to freeze, no one knew what happened to Shan Yu, how could it be like this?

It took half an hour before Mao Dun finally sighed faintly and slowly opened his eyes. "Big Order!" "Da Shan Yu, are you feeling better?" "Da Shan Yu, what's wrong with you, ah?" As soon as Mao Dun opened his eyes, more than a dozen Hun kings such as Gu Nuoyan, the right king of Li, Gao Aduo, the king of Li, the right Guli, the king of Kayitu, the left Dadu Wei Mu Nata, the right Dadu Captain Qi Lunqing, the left Dadanghu Duomu Xiu, the right Dadanghu Ming Acha, as well as the King of Hutu and the King of Hun Evil, and more than a dozen Hun kings rushed to the soft couch and asked for warmth.

Mao Dun shook his right hand with some difficulty, and everyone closed their mouths in unison.

The whole big tent suddenly became silent, looking at the tribal leaders and the little kings who looked respectful in front of the bed, and did not even dare to breathe, Mao Dun suddenly felt an unprecedented worry.

Maudun sensed the call of his father, Mandanyu, and he knew that he would not live long.

Mao Dun took the throne by killing his father Tou Manshan Yu, in order to consolidate his single position, he successively killed his stepmother, half-brother and a large number of ministers, in his lifetime of Mao Dun, absolutely no one dared to challenge his authority, even if it was a peerless hero like Huyan Zhengde, he could only escape to the Central Plains.

The question is, what happens when he dies?

If Zuo Xianwang Ji Congee, who is the natural heir of Da Shan Yu, is still alive, of course, the Xiongnu are not as chaotic as possible, but unfortunately, Ji Congee died before Mao Dun, and Ji Congee's two sons, Junchen and Yi Zhixian, are still young, these ministers in front of them, will they willingly serve the military ministers or Yi Zhixian as Da Danyu?
