Although Nan Luojia said so, Mao Dun didn't believe the other party's words, and thought that the other party was deliberately scaring him! But it wasn't long before a messenger claiming to be from New Carthage delivered a letter to him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

According to the messenger, the letter was written by the king of New Carthage, and after sending the messenger away, Mao Dun opened the letter and read it: "Hun scumbags, I didn't want to take care of you for the time being, but you dare to snatch the monster from under my Shi Jin sailors, then don't blame me for being ruthless, you all wash your necks and wait to be slaughtered!" Lao Tzu wants to use your skulls as bowls! ”

"Haha! This neo-Carthaginian king is really too arrogant, who does he think he is, and if he wants us to die, we will obediently wait for death? After reading the letter, Mao Dun couldn't help laughing again, you must know that this time in order to deal with the Yueshi people, he brought out almost all the elite soldiers among the Huns, although because of the previous civil strife, the loss of troops, but he now has more than 70,000 troops in his hands, and due to the characteristics of the Hun nomadic tribes, these soldiers are all cavalry, much stronger than the combat effectiveness of the infantry, and in the end, even if they can't be beaten, relying on the high mobility of the cavalry, they can also escape calmly!

So after reading the letter, he felt that the new Carthage king he had never met was really arrogant.

"But this guy has a good taste, and he actually came up with the chic idea of using a skull as a bowl, should I also knock off the skull of Nanraka to make a bowl!" Thinking like this, Maudun looked at Nanraja's gaze and became a little strange.

The change in the other party's eyes made Nan Luojia, who had already held the heart of death, feel a little cold, because the other party's eyes were so weird, and they always swept around his face.

On the other side, while Shi Jinshui sent messengers, he also began to gather the troops in his hands and approached the Xiongnu army under Mao Dun.

Although he was unable to gather all the troops because of the need to divide troops to defend the territory of the Yue Clan that had just been conquered, Shi Jinshui finally gathered about 200,000 people, which was already a complete advantage in terms of troops, and as for the quality, it was not much more.

On the Huns' side, although they did not know the strength and well-equipped of the New Carthaginian soldiers, they were immediately taken aback when they saw that the enemy army was far more numerous than their own, and put away their previous arrogance and contempt for the enemy.

Seeing that the morale of his subordinates was much lower because of the huge number of enemy troops, Mao Dun had to hurriedly speak up: "Don't be afraid, everyone! Although there are many people on the other side, most of them are heavy cavalry and infantry, and there are not even 10,000 light cavalry, so even if we can't beat it, we can escape! ”

Hearing Mao Dun say this, those Hun soldiers couldn't help but settle down, thinking that this was indeed the case! Their Huns' riding skills are extremely exquisite, after they encountered defeats in the past, didn't they rely on this to escape, whether it was the powerful Qin Empire, or the Donghu and Yueshi people, in the end, they couldn't help them, so this time there is no need to worry too much!

"Humph! It's a frog at the bottom of the well, you just wait for bad luck! Seeing this scene, Nanraja, who was watching coldly, couldn't help but sneer in his heart, there were indeed not many light cavalry troops in New Carthage, but they had a powerful air force, and if the Huns wanted to rely on the mobility of light cavalry to escape, it would be wishful thinking.

In order to test the true combat strength of the Neo-Carthaginians on the opposite side, Maudun first sent a small force of more than 2,000 people to launch a tentative attack on the enemy army.

However, Shi Jinshui did not give these Hun cavalry a chance to get close at all, and relied on the strong rain of arrows and artillery fire to drive the other side back.

Seeing that the two thousand elites under his command couldn't even get close to the opponent's large array, they were beaten and scattered, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, feeling bad, and at the same time, he couldn't help but recall what Nanraka had said to him before.

"Nope! That must be alarmist, how can there be an existence in this world that is so powerful that it can only make my big Huns tie up and wait for death, I don't believe it! But after all, Mao Dun, who had just ascended to the position of Shan Yu, was still a little young and vigorous, and after a loud roar, he actually led more than 70,000 Hun warriors under his command to launch an all-out charge against the Neo-Carthaginians opposite.

"Humph! Play cavalry charge with me, it's all about looking for death! Chariots and heavy cavalry units, sortie! Seeing that the Huns had so decisively invested all their forces and launched a full-scale charge, Shi Jinshui had no nervousness on his face at all.

With his order, thousands of shutter chariots and more than 50,000 cavalry immediately rushed out of the large array and met the Hun army.

The two forces soon approached within a hundred meters, and the archers on both sides drew their cavalry bows and fired their feathered arrows at the enemy on the opposite side. As the rain of arrows fell, hundreds of cavalry fell on the Huns' side, and on the side of New Carthage, there was no one or one horse injured, this is because whether it is a shutter chariot or a heavy cavalry, the men and horses are all wrapped in heavy armor, and ordinary feather arrows cannot penetrate their armor at all, not to mention that the Huns are not good at smelting, and the equipment is extremely backward, and the feather arrows used by many people are still made of stones and animal bones, etc., and the power is weakened by a few points. It's okay to bully those lightly armored soldiers from other countries in normal times, but when you encounter a terrible opponent like New Carthage, whose equipment is several grades ahead of the contemporaries, you can only be blind.

After this round of actual combat test, those Huns are finally developing, the armor on the opposite side of these enemies, there are really a lot of goods, the defense is amazingly strong, but before they can recover from their surprise, those heavy cavalry equipped with javelins have also thrown out the heavy javelins in their hands, because the two cavalry units are approaching at a very high speed at the same time, so it is only a few seconds, at this time the distance between the cavalry of the two sides, is already only a dozen meters, at this distance, The Hun cavalry didn't even have room to dodge, so they were shot in the face by these javelins. Compared with bows and arrows, the javelin is more lethal, and after a round of javelin rain, more than 3,000 Hun cavalry were killed.

Even the Huns were almost shot off their horses by a javelin, but fortunately, his guards desperately covered and blocked the javelin with their own bodies. Seeing that his warriors were killed so much at once before they could make contact with the enemy, Mao Dun couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart, and subconsciously slowed down his horse's speed, but this subconscious move saved his life.

When the cavalry of the two sides collided violently, the Hun cavalry was stabbed to death by the New Carthaginian heavy cavalry who rushed to the front with their cavalry spears, which greatly frustrated the edge, and then these heavy cavalry decisively abandoned the cavalry spears, pulled out the sabers at their waists, and began the most wanton bloody harvest. Behind them, there are a larger number of heavy archers and chariot troops, needless to say, the archery troops are naturally drawn out of the saber to fight, and the chariot troops, is not too entangled with the Huns, but driving the chariots, constantly rushing forward, as long as there are Hun cavalry in front of them, have been crushed into flesh and blood by these terrible war machines, in the face of these even the war horses are equipped with sharp blades and the impact of the incomparably powerful heavy chariots, The leather armor on the Hun cavalry was simply useless.

Under the impact of more than 1,000 shutter chariots, the remaining 60,000 or so Hun cavalry were quickly cut into small pieces, and this is exactly what Shi Jinshui wanted to see. New Carthage's equally elite infantry units quickly followed, and began to take advantage of the absolute superiority in strength to launch a final siege and slaughter against the Hun cavalry that had been disrupted and divided.

By this time, Mao Dun, the Hun Shan Yu, was already completely irretrievably defeated, this young Hun Shan Yu looked at the Hun army on the battlefield that was almost in a state of being slaughtered by one side, his eyes were full of shock and despair, and at the same time, he finally understood why Nan Luojia would make such crazy words before, now that I think about it, it is not crazy words at all, but a real truth! It's ridiculous that he still refuses to believe that compared with the faction of New Carthage, which came out of nowhere, his Great Huns are completely inferior in terms of strength and equipment, and he doesn't see that even if his own warriors on the battlefield stab the other party with the bronze short sword in their hands, they can still only leave a non-obvious mark on the opponent's armor, and they can't hurt the enemy under the armor at all. However, the enemy only needs to gently wave the sharp saber in his hand to cut down one Hun warrior after another.

"Shan Yu! Quickly give the order to withdraw the troops! Otherwise, the elite of my Great Huns will be lost here! ”

The roar of his subordinates finally woke Mao Dun up, and he immediately ordered: "So people, retreat immediately, the soldiers who have been entangled try to buy time for other soldiers to escape, and how many people can run out counts!" ”

After receiving the order to retreat, the Hun cavalry, which had been completely killed, began to flee in the direction they had chosen as fast as they could.

Because the Huns were often one person with two or even three horses, they could constantly change horses, the horsepower was sufficient, and they were divided into many different directions to escape, so the cavalry troops of New Carthage pursued for a while, and they were completely thrown away by the other party.

After discovering that the enemy cavalry chasing behind them had been thrown away, these Huns couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and felt that they should have successfully escaped. However, they were not happy for a few minutes, but one after another New Carthaginian airships, which had not been on the field, came over their heads and pointed at the ground troops through flares in the direction of pursuit.

After seeing this scene, these Huns suddenly discovered that they were far from getting out of danger! Some of the more superstitious Huns, looking at the airship flying high in the sky, thought that it was a god descending to earth, and dismounted and knelt on the ground, bowing to the airships above their heads.

"See! This is the superstition of ignorance and ignorance! Therefore, we can never relax in the education of New Carthage, and we must insist on instilling scientific values and worldview in our future generations! Looking at the Hun soldiers who knelt on the ground and were easily captured by his subordinates along the way, Shi Jinshui said to a group of younger brothers with emotion.
