Wusun, located between the Tianshan Mountains, Lake Urkash and the Manas River, is the name of an ethnic minority in the Western Regions, as well as the name of the country founded by this ethnic group.

The Wusun people were one of the most important ethnic groups in the Han Dynasty that connected the eastern and western steppe communications. It is said that the Wusun tribe was formed by the remnants of the Xirong Wu clan who moved west after the destruction of the Qin state.

The Wusun people are nomadic herdsmen, living in pursuit of water and grass, and often hunting while grazing. They lived in felt tents, fed on beef and mutton, and drank cow and goat milk, and the customs were the same as those of the Xiongnu. The horses of Wusun were the most famous, and the wealthy kept as many as four or five thousand horses at that time.

And the famous "Wusun Tianma" is from here.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to Wusun for the second time in the Western Regions, and on the return trip, the king of Wusun sent an envoy to the Central Plains with dozens of gift horses.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty got the Wusun horse, he happily gave it the name "Tianma".

However, in the eyes of the Han Dynasty, the Wusun people at that time were a group of people with fierce temperament, greed and viciousness, and untrustworthy people, who often worked as robbers for a living.

Unfortunately, Qi Lin was just in time for the Wusun people to work as a bandit at this time.

In fact, looking at the Wusun people in the distance, who numbered about 800 people riding horses, Qi Lin didn't care very much.

This time he went to the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to the twenty or thirty thousand imperial units, Qi Lin also brought all the cavalry and slashing soldiers.

After hitting the road, it didn't take long for Qi Lin to find that the path he chose often encountered some scattered small barbarian tribes.

The population of these small tribes was not very large, almost rarely more than a thousand, but they were very warlike.

After accidentally being killed by these barbarians and several reconnaissance cavalry squads that inadvertently broke into the opponent's territory, Qi Lin suddenly found that it seemed to be a good idea to use these barbarians to train these cavalry recruits in his hands.

So in order not to let the large army scare those barbarian tribes away, Qi Lin let the large army follow slowly after hundreds of miles.

And he himself personally led the hundreds of cavalry soldiers. Constantly engage with barbarian tribes in front of you to improve your combat effectiveness.

After several months, although the recruits in Qi Lin's hands were changed several rounds, and even the Rhodok who followed him at the beginning suffered a lot of casualties, but it also helped him temper an elite army.

100 Swadian Knights, 100 Rhodok Sergeants, 100 Rhodok Marksmen, and 200 White Horse Servants summoned from the Three Kingdoms mod (66 of which are still Yanyun Iron Riders who are working towards the White Horse Followers), and 50 low-level substitute cannon fodder from various factions.

Although the number is only five hundred and fifty people. And the 50 substitute cannon fodder among them don't seem to have much combat effectiveness, but the remaining 500 people are almost all the elite of the elite...... Of course, the cultivation of the White Horse Yicong has not yet been completed, but even so, the combat effectiveness of these five hundred people cannot be underestimated.

Unlike Imperial units, mounted slash units are also vulnerable to friendly arrows, but they have a higher combat skill and are in close contact with enemies. Can burst into more combat power than Imperial units.

Xu is because of these elites, or because of months of fighting, he has rarely grown.

Even though the Imperial army was still hundreds of miles away, Qi Lin faced the oncoming Wusun people hundreds of meters away. And not afraid.

There is no longer the appearance of fleeing in the face of the news of the siege of the Romans three times.

While drawing his bow from his horse, Qi Lin shouted, "Build a shield wall!" Marksman prepare! Si Qi and Yan Yun (Iron Horse) are on standby from the right side! The white horse (Yoshiko) is on the left side of the bow and spawns! ”

The next moment, the Rodok sergeants, who were originally at the center of the line, quickly raised their shields. Rushed to the front of the line.

"Bang bang bang!"

Shields that were almost the same as door panels were pestled one after another on the ground, and in just a few seconds, a shield wall was connected to the city.

And while these sergeants were moving, the Rhodok marksmen also picked up the siege crossbows in their hands. Following behind the sergeants, the moment the shield wall was formed, these sharpshooters also arrived at their attack positions, their bowstrings tight, waiting for Qi Lin's order to shoot deadly steel crossbow arrows at the enemy in front of them.

Subsequently, the Swadia knights and the 66 Yanyun Iron Horsemen also turned their horses' heads one after another, and assembled dozens of meters away from the right side of the team.

As for the more than 100 white horse righteous servants, they rode out directly, and after bypassing the left side of the array, they actually rushed straight towards the more than 800 Wusun people in the distance.

Of course, this is not the mistake of these white horse followers, but the battle process that has been determined after several months of fighting.

After attacking from the right side of the military formation, these white horse Yicong did not actually rush straight towards the other party, but stabbed diagonally into the left flank of the other side (the right side of Qi Lin's side) at a very small angle.

It's just that because the angle is small and the distance between the two sides is relatively far, it looks like they are rushing straight towards each other.

But the Wusun people on the other side didn't notice these small details, and only thought that these people were rushing straight towards them.

"Whew!"

It seemed to be a wolf howl, but it came from the mouths of these Wusun people, and there was a strong disdain and ridicule in the tone.

Seeing that the more than 100 people on the other side rushed directly to their more than 800 people, the Wusun people couldn't help but laugh at the other party's inadequacy in their hearts, and even many people even roared loudly.

Both cavalrymen rode fast horses, and the distance was quickly reduced to less than a hundred meters, and almost in the blink of an eye they were within range of the archers.

Without waiting for those Wusun people to draw their bows and arrows, these white horse Yicong under Qi Lin first gave them a rain of arrows, and at the same time increased the angle of travel, and went far around the left flank of the Wusun people.

More than a hundred sharp arrows took the lives of dozens of Wusun people in an instant, the corpses fell, and the war horses rolled, which made the formation of the Wusun people appear a little chaotic for a while.

However, these few casualties are nothing to the other party's more than 800 numbers.

On the contrary, it was because of the attack of the White Horse Righteous Servant that successfully provoked their anger.

Seeing that the other party wanted to rush out of their attack range, these Wusun people hurriedly clamped the horse's belly with their legs, intending to return the opponent's rain of arrows.

But before they could make any moves, a piece of riding spear suddenly rushed out from behind Bai Mayi, who had dodged away.

Just when these white horses were standing in the middle of the two groups of people, blocking the sight of both sides, Qi Lin directly gave the order to Svadia and the 66 Yanyun Iron Horsemen to charge.

At this time, the white horse servants who went first not only blocked the sight of the Wusun people, but also covered up the sound of the horses' hooves well.

As a result, it was not until the White Horse Yi dodged away and the Swadian knights rushed out of the rear of the former's team with their spears and shields that these Wusun noticed that the other cavalry of the opposing party had gone out.

wanted to dodge and bypass, but at this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, and the two sides hedged, and this distance was almost instantaneous.

"Boom!"

A dull crash sounded in the next moment.

The Wusun people, who still had their bows and arrows in their hands and had no time to change their weapons, were almost powerless to fight back, and in an instant they were rushed by the Swadian knights with mounted spears and heavy armor. (To be continued......)
