Section 1069 Counterattack (1)
"Hugh slaughtered people ......," Hu Yan Dangtu looked at the battlefield and sighed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, if the evil people didn't run, the two tribes would add up to at least more than 8,000 horses, even if the Han Dynasty people were open, they couldn't help them.
At most, they defeated Hutu and Hun Evil, forcing them to withdraw their troops.
But the Han army also has to pay the price!
But, now, as soon as the evil king runs away, Hugh slaughters people and becomes a target!
Fall into the embarrassing position of not running, not running.
"Master, what should the Evil King do?" A Bone Marquis of the Huyan clan asked.
Hu Yandang Tu narrowed his eyes and looked at the Evil Clan who had fled to the bottom of a small hill seven or eight miles away.
"Humph!" Hu Yandang Tu gasped for breath in his nostrils.
The Evil Tribe, it's a naked provocation!
If you don't give the evil people a little bit of power, Hu Yan feels like Tu, and his prestige as a coach will be lost.
I am afraid that in the future, no one will obey his orders.
"Leave it alone!" Huyan Dangtu used the word 'it' to describe the evil tribe, and the word 'it' was pronounced differently from 'he' in the Xiongnu language.
'He' refers to the equivalent of the person, while 'it' refers to slaves and livestock.
Generally speaking, the nobles of the Xiongnu headquarters, even if they are dissatisfied with a certain tribe on the surface, will not use 'it' to describe it.
Only when it is no longer tolerable and enduring, and when it is determined to wipe out this tribe, will 'it' be used.
This is a death sentence!
"Let's get Hugh out first!" Hu Yandang Tu clapped his palms: "Let the headquarters prepare to charge......" He squinted his eyes and asked the nobles behind him: "Warriors!" Who wants to rescue the Hutu tribe? ”
After Hu Yandang Tu, several of the bones of the headquarters were eager to try.
On the steppe, the Xiongnu headquarters will always be more proud than other tribes.
For the Huns, the headquarters and the non-headquarters are a symbol of the difference!
The cavalry of the headquarters is stronger, stronger, and more tacit!
Every rider in the headquarters has skillful riding skills and extraordinary archery skills!
In a tribe that is not the main tribe, it is already a miracle that there can be one condor shooter out of a thousand horsemen!
But in this department, some elite and powerful tribes can even do a hundred horses and produce an eagle archer!
The cavalry of the headquarters is not only reflected in combat ability and tactical literacy.
It is more reflected in the equipment.
The cavalry of other tribes, with a horn bow and a few bronze collars, is already very luxurious.
As for leather mail and chain mail or something......
Then don't think about it!
But the cavalry of the Huns headquarters is in armor!
In the past, the cavalry of the headquarters already had nobles who could wear iron armor and go into battle with captured Han weapons.
More than a year ago, the Huns captured Dawan and turned the population wealth of the entire Dawan Kingdom into their own.
In this feast, the most valuable wealth obtained by the Xiongnu was not hundreds of thousands of slaves and endless wealth.
Rather, it is a valuable craftsman!
The Kingdom of Dawan, as a descendant of Macedonian colonists, a descendant of the Seleucid Dynasty, and a secessionist kingdom of Bactria
Although they were separated from continental civilization for hundreds of years.
But the wealth left by our ancestors has not disappeared.
The Dawan Kingdom is a kingdom with the manor economy as the main body.
Similar to the Roman Republic of the same era, there were nobles, warriors, servants, and of course craftsmen in a single estate.
Although, the Dawan people don't know how to smelt iron.
But their bronze smelting technology is very developed!
At least, compared to the original bronze smelting technology of the Huns, it is countless times more developed!
And all nomads have a natural desire and thirst for craftsmen.
Because, this is something that they cannot cultivate and train on their own.
Therefore, all the Dawan craftsmen were held in the hands of the Huns and cared for like treasures.
In particular, carpenters and bronze smelting craftsmen.
It's just a parent's love!
The meat that the Huns themselves were reluctant to eat was available to the craftsmen for every meal, and the clothes that the Huns themselves were reluctant to wear were worn by the craftsmen.
Even, in order to take care of and meet the needs of these craftsmen, the Xiongnu also built a city for them in Juyanze, so that they could live the same life as the nobles in Dawan.
The Huns' attack on Dawan was a disaster for all classes in Dawan.
But craftsmen are the exception.
Many craftsmen who were originally commoners or even slaves suddenly became the lords of the nobles and masters of the past!
They ate the best food and slept with noble ladies who they had never dreamed of in the past.
Naturally, the craftsmen expressed 10,000 satisfaction with the new master.
Now, the more than 3,000 craftsmen of all kinds who were captured were producing and manufacturing all kinds of equipment for the Xiongnu every day.
This includes the standard equipment of the Han army that was captured or smuggled.
Copycat weapons were very simple in the era of cold weapons, especially in the era of cold weapons before the Common Era.
It's nothing more than a technical issue.
The large amount of wealth plundered from Dawan injected infinite vitality into the Huns' cottage cause.
Last year, these craftsmen produced tens of thousands of weapons for the Huns!
Including the Han army sabre of the cottage, the Han army saddle and stirrup of the cottage.
These are not difficult to imitate.
The Huns have long since discovered these things.
As for the horseshoe, these craftsmen can't make it.
It's not a technical problem, it's a material one.
Bronze is too brittle and does not have the strength and wear resistance of iron.
And the Huns, who can't turn on iron-smelting technology, are really in a hurry!
"The ...... of the Subu clan" Hu Yan Dangtu focused his attention on a Xiongnu nobleman with dark skin, a short stature, and a huge copper ring hanging from his nose: "Leave this matter to your ministry!" ”
When the nobleman heard this, he said happily: "Please rest assured that General Zuo, our Subu clan will definitely live up to the prestige of the Huns!" ”
The Subu clan, as one of the four major clans of the Xiongnu headquarters.
The background is very thick.
This clan has been a candidate for the left and right bones of Shan Yu for generations.
Even, someone once served as one of the four pillars of the Huns, the king of the right valley!
It is very rare in the history of the Xiongnu to take the four pillars as a non-succumbing!
Historically, only a few people have won this honor!
The Subu clan was able to get this honor because they followed Lao Shangdan Yu back then, settled on the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, and made great contributions!
Therefore, the Subu clan was allowed to participate in the supervision of the countries of the Western Regions.
There are 36 countries in the Western Regions, some large and some small.
The small one is a few thousand people, and if they occupy an oasis, they will be kings and hegemons.
The big ones are more than a dozen cities or even dozens of cities!
Naturally, there were craftsmen in these kingdoms.
In fact, almost all of the Xiongnu's weapons and armor depended on the contributions of the 36 countries of the Western Regions in the past.
This is also why the Wusun people had to fall out with the Xiongnu back then!
The 36 countries of the Western Regions are a huge cornucopia.
Whoever gets it is enough to dominate the world!
and even compete for the position of the supremacy of the steppe.
The Wusun people coveted this, and dreamed of controlling the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.
The Xiongnu, on the other hand, would never allow the Wusun people to control the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.
It's like Midi definitely didn't allow John Bull to get together with the continent, be intimate, and call him a brother.
This is the fundamental reason for the final break between the Xiongnu and Wusun - the two have irreconcilable contradictions and conflicts of interest in the Western Regions!
As a clan that has obtained some rights and interests in the Western Regions, the equipment of the Subu people has always been known for being strong in the Xiongnu.
While the other tribes were still using bones and stone spears.
The Subu clan has already completed the bronze of their weapons.
After the Battle of Mayi, the headquarters of the Subu clan and the Xubu clan were also known as the first tribe in the Xiongnu Empire to be equipped with a cottage bronze saber and bronze saddle and stirrups.
At present, all 40,000 horsemen of the Sub Clan have completed the update of their equipment.
Each warrior wore armor made of bronze and leather armor, rode a war horse with a stirrup and saddle, and carried a saber from the cottage.
Even the arrangement of the parade is somewhat similar to that of the Han cavalry - this is also from the cottage.
In the past year or so, the Huns have sent countless spies and meticulous work, bribed countless traitors, explored and peeked into the training and marching methods of the Han army, and constantly used the friction of the border to spy on the reality of the Han army with the lives of vassal tribes and slaves.
Finally they touched some joints.
At the very least, now, the 10,000 cavalry of the Su Bu clan and the combat formations they are all similar to the cavalry of the Han army.
They marched in groups of five and two in a group, forming a fan-shaped marching procession.
"It's a pity...... The hand crossbow of the Han Dynasty can't be placed......" Hu Yan Dangtu sighed in his heart, quite regretful.
Over the years, the Huns have obtained at least hundreds of samples of the Han army's hand crossbows and thousands of damaged parts through countless routes.
It is a pity that the hand crossbow of the Han army was developed from the cavalry crossbow of the Qin Dynasty, combined with the advantages of the Qin crossbow, made use of the bronze smelting technology developed to the extreme by the Qin people, supplemented by the crystallization of modern science and technology, and under the auspices of the ink masters of the ink garden, the design of the Qin cavalry crossbow and the Han crossbow were integrated and designed.
Each part can be replaced freely like a crossbow, and the way to pull it is even simpler.
This made it impossible for the Huns to copy!
Not to mention large-scale equipment like the Han army!
This is also the helplessness of the Huns and the world.
Bronze technology, in China has experienced three generations of thousands of years of development, and finally by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period as fuel, with the wisdom of countless generations of outstanding people, and finally reached the extreme of bronze in the hands of the Qin people - even if it is another two thousand years, even in the era of industrialization, the bronze technology of the Qin people can also be comparable to industrial products!
Can the Huns do it? No way!
Do Greeks do it? Not at all!
Did the Romans do it? Still no!
In terms of smelting technology and manufacturing, the current China is like the basic materials science of the Celestial Empire.
Take the engine, for example.
China has been making up for more than ten years, but it still can't catch up with Omics' engine. (To be continued.) )
