Section 1286 The Huns' 'Divine Horse' (2)
On the wide plain, the warlord stood on a hill with high spirits, leading his nobles, in the attention of tens of thousands of people, watching the performance of the heavy armored cavalry who were preparing to mount their horses in the distance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Almost all the Huns now stretched their necks, waiting for their own performance of divine horsemanship.
Aggie was also huddled in the crowd, his face full of pride and excitement.
"The Great Huns also have their own gods to ride......" Aji said with a flushed face and yelling around.
Everyone else is proud, too.
The Xiongnu have been shrouded in the shadow of the Han Dynasty's divine riders for too long.
Since the Battle of Mayi, whenever the shadow of the Han Dynasty's god riders, or even just legends, they appeared.
The Huns had no master of the six gods, and they did not choose the road in a panic.
No one dared to fight those terrible cavalry!
Even, I didn't dare to bend my bow to them, I saw it, I had to run, and if I couldn't run, I could only surrender!
There's no way, God Ride! Too powerful!
So far, no one has been able to go through three rounds under his hands!
And the Huns wearing heavy armor also felt a great responsibility, one by one with heavy steps, with the support of a few slaves, climbed the mountain and the tall war horse, and fixed the butt into the saddle.
And their success on the horse immediately triggered a tsunami of cheers.
Countless Huns celebrated, and many nobles even cried with joy.
However, only these cavalrymen knew their suffering.
Their people and armor add up to too heavy!
As soon as you get on the horse, even if the war horse under the crotch is the best, the best and strongest war horse that the Huns can find.
But because of this, I snorted, and I couldn't do it.
Fortunately, they had feelings for these war horses, and after being appeased, they all calmed down.
But moving forward is still a problem!
Because, the armor is too heavy!
Since the Xiongnu could not produce iron, let alone steel, they replaced it with bronze.
But the problem is that bronze is bulky and too brittle.
Therefore, when making these heavy armors, the Huns could only use stupid methods.
What kind of stupid way?
It's just grinding by hand!
A nail leaf is thinned and takes half a year!
And the full set of heavy armor on their bodies has more than 3,000 armor leaves!
In other words, in order to create a set of heavy armor, the Huns spent three thousand people, at least half a year, to make it.
However, even so, it was too heavy!
The total weight of the cuirass of the Han army will not exceed fifteen kilograms, but this bronze armor of the Huns weighs at least forty kilograms!
Such heavy armor, draped over the body, is very bulky, and together with the weight of the person itself, it exceeds a hundred kilograms.
Even if the Huns found the BMW with the strongest load and strength in the known world, it would still be too heavy.
It's almost impossible to charge!
However, they also don't need to charge......
These cavalrymen, riding their horses and patiently, slowly advanced more than a hundred steps in front of the crowd, and then, the men and horses were all out of breath.
But in the eyes of outsiders, what they saw was that the Huns' divine horsemen, carrying cavalry, showed their existence to the world!
Countless people burst into tears, not knowing that in fact they were just a few bronze jars, and these people were actually incapacitated.
Even those who know have wisely chosen to shut up now, just sighing in their hearts.
Just a few horses, not to mention that they can't fight, even if they can, how can they go against the thousands of divine horses of the Han Dynasty?
Moreover, these people know that the divine horses of the Han Dynasty and these bronze jars in front of them are completely different things.
The Han Dynasty rode a god, tall and mighty, quiet as a virgin, and moved like thunder.
Their armor, smooth as a mirror in the sunlight, as dazzling as the sun, like the armament of the gods in myths and legends, cannot be understood or spoken.
That's why they're called god riders.
As for the ...... in front of you.
At most, the pinnacle of a mortal......
Compared to God, it is not a star and a half!
The military minister was probably dazed...... Someone slandered in his heart: "Just rely on these so-called divine horses, how to fight against the Han Dynasty?" ”
"Looks like I'll have to be careful and retreat at any time......"
Many people thought in their hearts that the lessons of the Battle of Mayi were in their minds.
How did the Han Dynasty eliminate and annihilate the southern invasion forces led by Yin Zhixian?
The answer is that after the god cavalry copied, cut off Yin Zhixian's retreat, and then the army encircled, and the Hun cavalry in the encirclement was like a fish trapped in the low-lying ponds and grasslands after the flood season, and could only wait for death!
Although this time, the main force of the Huns almost poured in, with 100,000 cavalry!
The people of the Han Dynasty should not have a big appetite to eat it all, but what if the back road is really blocked by the Han Dynasty people and everyone is surrounded?
Some well-informed people have heard about the fate of the captured Xiongnu nobles in the Battle of Mayi and the Battle of Gaoque.
Even if he is the best king of Lou Fu, he just gave a false name and raised it.
The other unlucky guys were all used as slaves and laborers to pave the way for the Han Dynasty to build bridges.
The former Gudu Marquis died on the construction site of the Han Dynasty, and the former tribal leaders lived in a shack with their slaves.
Although, according to some gossip, many Xiongnu slaves are now living well in the Han Dynasty.
Especially the building is annoying, and the days are far beyond the time in the Huns.
But......
Those were slaves and herdsmen, not aristocrats!
In the eyes of the Han Dynasty, the status of aristocratic prisoners of war and slave prisoners of war was treated equally, and all were prisoners of war! All the work!
Slaves behave well and can be regularized, and the same is true for nobles.
However, such fair treatment makes many people creepy!
In fact, it was precisely because of hearing about these things that these tribes did not immediately cry and shout to defect to the Han Dynasty, let alone the fact that after the defeat of Donghu that year, overnight, all the tribes of the entire grassland fell to the Xiongnu.
Because, the Han Dynasty was too terrible for them nobles!
Slaves and aristocrats, actually at the same starting line!
Moreover, even the leader of the tribe who surrendered was only given a false title and wealth, and did not allow him to continue to be powerful, let alone continue to govern and rule his own tribe and slaves.
Of course, the military ministers also knew that relying on these heavy armored cavalry alone, and they were still good goods, could not boost morale at all.
Therefore, after the demonstration of these cavalry, he said to his clan leaders: "Ladies and gentlemen, Ben Dan Yu has been blessed by the gods, and the gods have given him a divine horse, so that Ben Dan Yu can arm an army comparable to the Han Dynasty's god cavalry!" Now, this great army will sweep the world under your witness! ”
As he spoke, the warlord picked up a hammer and blew it vigorously.
Tick tick!
The crisp sound of the chirping sound resounded throughout the audience, and then, thousands of horses galloped and the earth shook.
A cavalry of several thousands, riding tall horses, with a long lance in his hand, and light armor mixed with leather and bronze armor, came from the distant mountains like a tide.
A large silk is fluttering high, symbolizing the dragon flag of the Xiongnu Shan Yu fluttering in the wind.
This is a red dragon flag!
Originally, the Xiongnu did not have a colored Daxu, but when the military ministers used all the fine war horses scavenged from Dawan and Wusun and their own country, and used their most elite royal court guard knights to form this cavalry, a Han Dynasty descendant told him: "Da Dan Yu, the Han Dynasty is a water virtue, so the emperor of the Han Dynasty is the Black Dragon Banner!" Today, if you want to win the Han Dynasty, you don't need fire, fire is water, and fire is still red! ”
When the military minister heard this, he felt very reasonable!
The current Xiongnu really need to defeat the Han Dynasty to maintain their position and rule.
And no matter what method is used, as long as you can defeat the Han Dynasty, it is a good way!
This red dragon banner has become the great commander of the military ministers!
The military minister ordered that all the big palaces of his royal court be changed to red!
In order to tell the people of the Han Dynasty - brother is not afraid of your black dragon, brother is a red dragon!
In this way, at least in terms of ideology and mouth, the victory over the Han Dynasty is simply great!
And this cavalry is the reliance of the military ministers to defeat the Han Dynasty in action.
Its riders were all elite warriors drawn from the royal court and the Xiongnu headquarters, especially the headquarters of King Zuoxian and King Zuogu Li.
Everyone is a warrior who has made contributions on the road to the west, and there is even no shortage of warriors who can be ten with one.
And there are absolutely no problems when it comes to loyalty!
In addition, in terms of physique and height, these people are also the crown of the Huns!
Almost everyone was about seven feet tall, and this was the tallest of the Huns - no way, the Huns were born with short legs, which was also a problem of nomadic herders, and many tribes were generally less than six feet seven inches tall......
But in this way, the number of people became fatal.
Even if the military ministers were eclectic and selected more than 2,000 absolutely loyal and tame minions from slaves and prisoners of war to supplement them, it would be worth less than 5,000.
In addition, the war horses of these people are also varied.
There are Dawan horses, Wusun horses, and Hun horses.
Of course, it is impossible for the military ministers to equip them with war horses according to their abilities without discrimination, and the warriors of the royal court, of course, ride the best Dawan BMW, and the elite of the headquarters can naturally only ride Wusun horses, and the slaves can only ride Hun horses.
However, in addition to these shortcomings, in the eyes of the military ministers, this cavalry is already the embodiment of perfection.
It is also a guarantee that he dares to go south this time!
The military minister believed that with this absolutely loyal and powerful cavalry, even if he encountered a group of divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty, he would have the strength to fight - if he was not good, he could not fight, and he could still run.
The speed of this cavalry is very fast, especially in short distances, which is the best for the Huns, and even the world.
Now, the military minister looked at these elites and said to the others triumphantly: "In the future, Ben Danyu will arm all of them into divine horses, so that my Great Huns will have the capital to compete with the Han Dynasty!" ”
This is also the biggest motivation for this military minister's southern invasion!
Because the military ministers found that if they couldn't grab enough blacksmiths from the Han Dynasty, then he and the Xiongnu's divine horses might never appear!
Are you kidding? A set of heavy armor that cannot be used will take more than 3,000 people half a year to polish......
Produce a hundred sets, and the Huns will have to go bankrupt!
Only from the looting of the Han Dynasty to the blacksmiths and other craftsmen, the Xiongnu had a day to turn over! (To be continued.) )
