Section 1043 The fear of the Xiongnu against the Han army

On the afternoon of the second day of October in the winter of the sixth year of Yuande. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It has been four days since the Ziling side reported that the main force of the Han army was out of the fortress.

One by one, the bad news came to Huyan Dangtu.

Ziling, of course, inevitably fell under the control of the Han Dynasty.

Hu Yandang slaughtered the king of Ruolu and divided his population and livestock, his original intention was to strike first, kill chickens and monkeys, and establish authority.

Everything would have been fine.

All the tribes have bowed their heads obediently.

The cavalry and livestock that had promised to be drawn also began to be mobilized.

As long as it takes another five days, then Ziling's defense can be stabilized!

However, the reaction of the Han Dynasty people was so swift and decisive.

Full of calculations, almost the day after he Hu Yandang attacked Ziling, he had already decided to get out of the plug.

Huyan Dangtu also understands why.

At the beginning, he exterminated the Ruolu tribe, but after all, it was impossible to control all the people of a tribe with more than 10,000 villages.

The sons of the king of Narulu fled with a group of cronies.

Some people fled to Nanchi to complain to King Hujie, and some people fled to the grassland, wanting to go to the north of the curtain to find those relatives of the Ruolu tribe to take refuge, but most of them fled to the Han Dynasty.

In this regard, Hu Yan Dangtu already knew about it before he started.

After all, after decades of war and exchanges between Han and Hungary, it is common for nobles and officials between each other to run to each other and seek refuge in each other's affairs.

However, what Hu Yan Dangtu did not expect was that the Han Dynasty people were so decisive.

He was quickly out of the jam without giving him the slightest time to prepare.

The army was divided into two routes, and without much effort, the troops approached Ziling and controlled the road of Ziling.

As for the tribal forces in Ziling and the vicinity of Ziling, they could not organize any resistance at all when they were caught off guard, so they could only evacuate in a panic.

The resolute and resolute march of the Han army made the Gaoque fortress actually exposed to the front of the Han army now.

Now, Gao Que only has the Great River Heavenly Danger and the Honghu Sai Energy as Gao Que's barrier.

However, Dahe Tianbao is not reliable at all at this time!

The cold winter on the Mongolian plateau has caused the rivers to freeze almost completely.

In some sections, the ice is more than three feet thick!

Not to mention people, even cavalrymen on war horses can pass safely, and even heavier and heavier carriages can pass!

So in fact, before the Gaoque Fortress, Huyan Dangtu could only rely on the Honghu Fortress.

But......

The Honghu Fortress has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and it is only because it is across the river from Gaoque that the Huns will occasionally repair it.

Its city defense system has long been useless!

And what's even more troublesome......

"Divine Rider, ......" Hu Yan Dangtu sighed, looking at Ziling in the south with a hideous face.

The army of the Han Dynasty, this time, how many soldiers and horses came, Huyan Dangtu has not yet figured out.

But there is one thing that is already certain.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty sent his trump card, the most powerful armed force of the Han army, the mighty cavalry known as the 'Divine Horse' by the countless tribes and shamans of the Xiongnu.

Two years ago, in the battle of Mayi, the Zhelan tribe attacked frantically with a decisive heart.

But in front of that terrible Han horseman, he was pinched to death like an ant, like a native chicken and a dog.

Legend has it that the Zhelan people didn't even kill a god rider!

These stories and legends, along with the remnants of the Zhilan soldiers who fled back and the nobles who have redeemed them in recent years, spread all over the grassland.

So much so that this year, more than a dozen tribes that were originally going to return to Makunan for the winter chose to move west.

They would rather abandon their ancestral homes and pastures that they have grazed for generations than face a possible invincible horseman.

After all, that legend is terrible!

The powerful Zhelan tribe that even Shan Yu may not be able to defeat, the backbone of the Xiongnu Empire, and the horse whip of Shan Yu. Lost in the battle of Mayi.

Even those who escaped were scared into madness and idiots.

So, when this legendary cavalry, wearing their symbolic tall helmets, wearing cold armor, and holding a horse pistol that is said to be a "weapon like the artifact of the gods", appeared on the grassland.

It immediately caused panic among countless tribes.

A large number of small clans and small clans, almost fleeing from the wind.

These fellows even abandoned their pastures and belongings and livestock, and rushed across the ice of the river crying and crying.

This triggers an avalanche effect.

Other tribes also fled.

The most humiliating thing is the 7,000 Yiluo of the Hutu tribe.

These guys are obviously more than two hundred miles away from Ziling.

As a result, as soon as they heard that the Han Dynasty had dispatched a 'divine horse', they immediately fled to Gaoque with their slaves and livestock.

If it weren't for Huyan Dangtu, he immediately sent his own guards, closed the city gates and passes, and killed more than a hundred fools who were frightened and stupid.

I am afraid that the current Gaoque has become a channel for refugees to flee.

The people of the Han Dynasty don't need to think of a way to worry about how to overcome this fortress.

The dozens of tribes south of Gaoque alone, more than a hundred clans large and small, hundreds of thousands of herdsmen and hundreds of thousands of livestock herds are enough to turn Gaoque into a chaotic capital.

Of course, Huyan Dangtu could understand the panic of these tribes and clans.

Even he, after hearing the news of the Han Dynasty's 'Divine Rider', was half frightened to death, and even trembled from the depths of his soul.

After all, according to legend, the extremely powerful Zhelan charge did not even kill a single Han Dynasty 'divine horse'.

There is an essential difference between 0 to 10,000 and 1 to 10,000.

The former means invincible, it means invincible, it means that only God can fight against it.

And the latter, at the very least, belongs to mortals who can deal with it.

Although, Hu Yan Dangtu did not believe the information brought back by the remnants of the soldiers and nobles.

However, it is a fact that the Zhelan tribe was completely defeated and annihilated by the 'divine horse' of the Han Dynasty, and even the remnants of the defeated generals who fled back were mostly frightened crazy and stupid.

In the face of such an enemy, Hu Yan Dangtu felt that he couldn't pay too much attention to it.

However, the question is......

Hu Yan was slaughtered, walked up to the head of the city, and looked at the dense dome under the city and in the surrounding woods.

"Although I have a large army, this morale is very low......" he looked at the Hun warriors on his left and right.

These samurai are all first-class warriors.

There is even a warrior who has fought tigers and leopards.

However, even such warriors, if they were allowed to fight against the Han Dynasty divine horsemen, it was estimated that they would be scared to death like everyone else, before they even went to the battlefield.

To fight the enemy with an army that has not yet fought, is engaged, and thinks that it is absolutely impossible for them to defeat their opponents?

I'm afraid that as long as the battle is slightly unfavorable, then the Han army on the opposite side will send that 'divine horseman' to line up and prepare to charge.

Then, most of the Hun soldiers are afraid that they will be scattered.

Probably only the ten thousand horsemen of the headquarters can barely give birth to the heart of resistance.

But this mind of resistance, once it collided with that Han cavalry, in an instant, would collapse.

The rest, of course, doesn't need to be thought about anymore.

Hu Yan Dangtu has seen too many examples like this.

For example, the Dawan people, last year's Xiongnu expedition to the west, to be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Dawan people is good.

At least in the beginning, it caused enough trouble for the Hun army.

However, after Shan Yu ordered his own headquarters to charge, and eliminated those who resisted.

The whole Dawan, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

The Xiongnu army marched straight into its capital, but met no resistance.

Hundreds of thousands of Dawan people were even frightened by thousands of Hun cavalry and did not dare to leave the city.

In the end, when the capital of Dawan was breached, the nobles and generals in his country did not dare to resist at all.

The most backbone person is just suicide.

The rest became captives and slaves of the Huns.

Those prosperous manors, cellars full of gold and silver, beautiful maidens, fragrant wine, and warehouses full of rice all became the trophies of the Huns.

An army that softens its feet when it sees the enemy, even if there are 100,000, millions, or even 10 million, is nothing more than livestock to be slaughtered, chickens and ducks on the chopping board!

"Hateful!" Hu Yan Dangtu clenched his fists, and his nails dug into his flesh.

The Huns believed in shamanism, and for shamanism, nothing in heaven and earth could become a god.

The herdsmen of the steppes do not worship their enemies as gods.

Even a rock in a mountain, a whirlpool in a river, or a large waterfowl in a lake may be regarded as a god by them.

Moreover, there is a very interesting point in the teachings of shamanism.

That is the thing that caused the greatest harm to the Huns, the more it was worshipped.

For example, locusts, blizzards, and plagues were all manifested as gods or messengers of the gods.

And it is this simple doctrine that has put the current Huyan Dangtu in an embarrassment.

Even though, he doesn't believe in those legends.

But I can't stop others from believing it!

"If I lead my troops to fight directly with the main force of the Han army...... Hu Yan Dangtu thought to himself: "I'm afraid, the cavalry of all tribes will flee!" ”

For the Huns, it was impossible for people to defeat the gods.

The mortal body is even more afraid to fight against the cavalry of the gods.

The cavalry of the headquarters is okay, under the power of Shan Yu, finding a few shaman jumping gods can alleviate some of it.

But the minions and the shepherds and cavalrymen of the motley tribe were now terrified to the extreme.

They only think about running, and they don't have the heart to fight at all.

"If I want to defeat the Han army, I'm afraid I have to think of a way to first break the lie that the Han people have the protection of the gods!" Hu Yan Dangtu knew very well what he should do.

If the emperor of the Han Dynasty is not dispelled, the myth that the Han Dynasty was blessed and blessed by the gods could not be dispelled.

Well, don't fight this war.

Hurry up and pack up your things, and run for your life or surrender!

And to dispel this myth, it is necessary to first defeat a Han army on the battlefield and show their heads and corpses to the tribes: the people of the Han Dynasty are also people, and a knife is also death!

But here's the problem......

Where to find a Han army that can be used to practice hands?

The main force of the Han Dynasty on the side of Ziling, Huyan Dangtu did not dare to face the battle at all.

Are you kidding?

With that divine cavalry sitting in the Chinese army, it is impossible for any Hun cavalry to dare to charge.

It is even very likely that as long as that god ride moves, many people will be scared to pee their pants.

At this time, a group of cavalry galloped from afar, they passed through the gate of Gaoque, and entered the city, and then a nobleman climbed up to the top of the city out of breath, knelt in front of Huyan Dangtu, and said: "General Zuo! Your loyal slave and maid should be Tu Yan's urgent report: I found that the Han army was coming from the south and had occupied a remote high ground on the south bank of the Great River, please send troops to support General Zuo immediately! ”

Hu Yan was overjoyed when Tu heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How many Han people are there?" Can there be a heavy cavalry of the Han Dynasty? ”

"Returning to General Zuo, coming to attack the Han army, about 20,000 or so, and the Han Dynasty's 'divine horse' has not yet been found!" The nobleman replied.

"It's a heavy ride!" Hu Yan Dangtu glanced at him, and said helplessly.

This is his minion, and even his minions dare not have any desecration against the 'divine horse' of the Han Dynasty.

For fear that one of them would accidentally offend the gods and be electrocuted by a thunderbolt from the gods.

After death, the soul will sink into hell, burned by the flames for 10,000 years.

That's miserable!

When the other party heard this, he lowered his head to the ground and did not dare to answer.

This made Hu Yan Dangtu feel a little powerless.

But......

Since this Han Dynasty division did not have heavy cavalry......

"Someone is coming, immediately call the ten thousand horsemen of the Su Bu clan and the Lan clan to see me!" Huyan Dangtu immediately jumped up and ordered: "At the same time, order all the warriors of the Huyan clan to prepare their bows and horses, and prepare to attack with me!" ”

20,000 Han troops?

A tough bone to chew indeed!

However, Hu Yan didn't believe it, and he gathered the elite of Gao Que, all the cavalry of the headquarters, and he couldn't beat them!

If he took seven or eight thousand horsemen and rushed over with a thunderous momentum, he would not be able to defeat the Han army without divine horses.

So what else is there to say?

Let's jump into the river! (To be continued.) )
