Chapter 229: The Captives (1)

Huang Xuan signed the document and called Modiste of Cabreth – who is also now the deputy minister of import and export trade of Hexin Industrial, whose rights are second only to Zhang Rong in the absence of a minister – and asked him to send the horses to the improvised horse farm of the Sanchez branch to be transported.

The so-called Sanchez branch, which is the area of the base where Lorraine is located, which is connected to a small container terminal in Sanchez, has given orders to Modiste that the horses are to be transported to South Africa, but as for where the final destination is, Modiste will not delve into it.

After dinner, Huang Xuan said hello to his mother, and ran out of the house in a hurry, and then sneaked back, transferred from the gazebo in the backyard to the base, and then set off from here to P210.

The main reason for this is that the energy chain determines the coordinates near the camp in the northern frontier of Zhao instead of Nick's base, because P210 has Nick's plane base, so this energy chain is determined in the same way as the principle of the plane ruler, of course, it also consumes a lot of energy, and starting directly from the base, you can minimize unnecessary energy expenditure.

Li Mu led a large army to fight abroad, Tian Dan was not conscientious, but it was indeed a team of Hun soldiers in training, when Huang Xuan arrived at the camp in northern Xinjiang, only Zhao Xi received him.

It can be seen that Li Mu doesn't like Zhao Xi, and he doesn't take him with him when he returns to Beijing to report on his work, which can also be understood as valuing his talent and acting as the commander, but it is a little abnormal to take him with him for such an important battle.

However, on the other hand, Li Mu was relieved that Zhao Xi, as the person with the highest title, commanded more than 10,000 Zhao soldiers left in the camp, and at the same time had to take care of 8,000 Hun soldiers, which not only showed that he still had a certain talent, but also showed a kind of trust, which gave Huang Xuan a feeling that it was naturally quite strange. At least he hadn't put a subordinate he didn't like in an extremely important and unique position.

Dian Wei is still in P112, anyway, as long as Huang Xuan's coordinates as a traveler are clear, there will be no problem, not to mention Xiao Dian's classmates, who also prefer a camp that can be refreshing.

Huang Xuan walked a few miles, and the guards in front of the gate had already been informed, and they ran quickly to report to Zhao Xi.

"Ji Hyun-kun. It's been hard work along the way. Zhao Xi was full of smiles and was very attentive.

Huang Xuan was not polite, "Hmm", and said, "You bring some people and go with me to pick up a batch of horses." ”

"Horses?" Zhao Xi didn't dare to ask more, so he greeted and gathered more than 1,000 people from a battalion. That's almost all the cavalry left in the big battalion.

Horses in the Warring States period had a completely different role than later generations. First of all, the cavalry of the Central Plains was first tested by King Wuling of Zhao, and the Qin State was not far behind, but they used it more like rapid infantry than cavalry on horses. For example, the Qin army's sniper unit in the Battle of Changping was 25,000 infantry on horseback, blocked in the mountain pass.

The difference is the same as the difference between a mechanized infantry division and an armored division and a tank division.

Secondly, the most praised by the Chinese people to ride "shooting", and the Warring States period of Hufu riding "shooting" is also two concepts, people usually understand the riding "shooting" is riding while "shooting", but until the Han Dynasty, the so-called cavalry "shooting", is also stationed on the horse "shooting" arrows, not running horses "shooting" arrows. This limited the use of cavalry to a certain extent.

On the other hand, due to the backwardness of bow and arrow technology, the same bow with a force of force, its penetration is relatively low, so when the infantry bow has a strong killing ability, the prototype of the cavalry bow has just appeared, more precisely, it is precisely because the battlefield defense ability of the grassland peoples is too low, This led to the fact that Li Mu used a large number of archers.

In the largest battle of annihilation in the data, Li Mu used as many as 100,000 archers, many people were skeptical, thinking that it was too much, and accused: At that time, the entire Zhao State may have only 300,000 soldiers, and 100,000 archers were self-defeating - this is of course using the world 500 years later to deduce the Warring States, which is an era when there is 1 soldier for every 20 people.

However, at this time, Li Mu did not have so many troops, and his qualifications were not enough to command more troops. Although Pingyuanjun promised to do everything in his power to supply the needs of the northern frontier, the dispatch of tens of thousands of people was not so easy. The victory in the Battle of Changping did not change the poverty and population deprivation that Zhao had been fighting for many years.

Although the use of cavalry was restricted, and Huang Xuan had no interest in inventing stirrups at all—that would cause a continuous loss of "sex" in the buffer zone, even a mechanized infantry regiment was much better than a pure infantry regiment, and a large number of horses were essential if you wanted to hunt down more prisoners.

Huang Xuan couldn't wait for Pingyuanjun to deliver to the door.

Riding on Feidian, Dian Wei controlled the horse at his side, Huang Xuan walked along the path pointed by Nick, and asked, "I heard that General Li won a great victory, can the prisoners be sent?" ”

Zhao Xi was startled, almost grabbed the reins, and then said in an exclamating voice: "Zhixian Jun is really a god, and I also received a document this morning, saying that the general swept the Xiongnu Tuoqi Department in the Kunne region. ”

Huang Xuan was not interested in the specifics of what he said, and interrupted: "How long will it take to send the prisoners over?" ”

"Two or three days."

"That's fine." Huang Xuan said and asked: "How is Tian Xiang training the Hun soldiers?" ”

Speaking of Tian Dan, Zhao Xi came to the spirit and said: "The king asked, Xi was outspoken, Tian Dan did not respect the king's order, and acted arbitrarily, which is really hateful." ”

"Oh?"

"The army stipulates that in non-war times, three people will have a bucket of millet every day, and 10 prisoners will have a bucket, but Tiandan stipulates that all the Huns who participate in the training will be the same as our army, this ......, isn't this 'chaos'......"

Zhao Xi said indignantly, Huang Xuan suddenly understood, originally Zhao Bing had a supply of three taels of millet a day, and only one or two prisoners, I am afraid that there will be some deductions, but Tian Dan changed the food of the Huns who participated in the training to the same as Zhao Bing, so Zhao Jiang was naturally dissatisfied.

However, Tiandan was ordered by Huang Xuan, and Zhao Xi could not be under his control, so he had to come to Huang Xuan to make a small report. Huang Xuan was happy in his heart, but felt that Tian Dan's method was simple and effective.

Before that, like all nomads, their concept of home and country, and even the concept of tribe were not mature, and Da Bojin was unwilling to surrender, because of his dignity as a steppe nobleman, but for ordinary Hun soldiers, eating was the most important.

Participating in training represents a kind of submission, and as the training deepens, this submission will inevitably become more prone to change.

Thinking of this, Huang Xuan glanced at Zhao Xi and said, "You have to fully cooperate with Tian Xiang." ”

In a short sentence, Zhao Xi was stunned.

Several Zhao generals followed behind Huang Xuan, listening to his and Zhao Xi's answers, and glanced at each other, as if they were dissatisfied, but before these gentlemen could express their call for "unevenness", they heard the spies in front of them shout, and then danced a red embroidered flag.

Everyone was nervous. Although this is the south of the Great Wall, the Great Wall during the Warring States Period is far from achieving the purpose of blocking the enemy from the country.

Zhao Xi stretched out his left hand and shouted loudly: "Kong Zi, line up." ”

The captain he named shouted, and more than three hundred cavalry drove out of the ranks, each with a longbow, and in a blink of an eye ran up the small hill in front.

Here is only a few miles away from the promise, and the generals are not afraid, and they have commanded their troops one after another, and have launched a battle queue, that is, the classic middle breakthrough and detour tactics on both sides.

These are all veteran soldiers, and Zhao Xi pulled out the elite among them, and the momentum is positive.

Only Huang Xuan watched them jump up and down quietly, and only when Zhao Xi finished arranging it did he blink his eyes and said, "Relax." ”

Zhao Xi was stunned, but saw that Huang Xuan had already ridden towards the hillside where the horse was, and his current riding skills were not bad in the 21st century. Zhao Xi hurriedly followed, and when he got up the hillside, he understood why Huang Xuan said this.

At the foot of the mountain are a vast number of horses.

Tanma didn't know the inside story, and only thought that the Hun brigade was resting here, so he warned him, but Huang Xuan understood that there were magical horses that had traveled to 3 planes.

"How? Can it be used? Huang Xuan looked like a drunk Castro with his head held high.

"If General Li knows, he will be really happy...... I'm afraid he will be drunk and lie in the tent." Zhao Xi muttered and looked at the herd of horses grazing below, Huang Xuan brought more than 6,000 horses, all of which were fat and strong, compared to the horses that Zhao Jun was using now, they were not half a star.
