Liu Zhang: After they arrive in Yuyang County, they will rest here for a few days.

Prepare the supplies, the road they will take next is more difficult.

In some places, the mountains are steep, and the seas have been stormy recently.

It's safest to go by road, albeit a little harder.

But the road is also relatively safe, and there are some beasts along the way.

The weapons in the hands of the Han army are very powerful, and it is not difficult to deal with fierce beasts.

It was rainy on Yuyang's side, so they could only pause and set off east.

Although it rained lightly, the Huns would not stop coming because of the rain.

The Xiongnu wore a rain-proof leather coat on the outside, and a leather armor or iron armor spell on the inside.

They survived the long, cold winter, and after spring, they would also come to raid the people on the Han border.

Liu Zhang waited for the Huns to come and give full play to his strong strength.

As long as he leads five hundred cavalry, he can also perform miracles.

He was confident that 500 Han cavalry would fight 10,000 Hun cavalry, and he would have to kill 5,000 of them.

Usually when the Huns invade a county, more than 10,000 cavalry will come.

Each of them carries three to five horses, which can be changed along the way.

The surplus horses could bring back the looted supplies, and they could also take the people of the border counties of the Han Dynasty as slaves.

The Xiongnu rarely went back empty-handed, and Yuyang County was not less plundered by the Xiongnu since the establishment of the Han Dynasty.

The local people hated and feared the Huns, and Liu Zhang flew around Yuyang County with a drone.

It was measured that the area of Yuyang County is eight square kilometers, and beyond the county seat is the plain of Yima Pingchuan.

It was very suitable for cavalry to run back and forth, so the Huns were so unscrupulous every time they came.

There were five thousand defenders in the county, and other defenders in other places according to the importance of the geographical location.

The number of defenders varied, and the Xiongnu tended to concentrate most of their cavalry in one place.

The combat effectiveness of the Huns is not weak, they come and go quickly.

Most of the cavalry of the Han army could not catch up with the Hun cavalry, unless it was the most elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty.

The Han troops stationed in various parts of Yuyang County could only resist as much as possible in the face of the Xiongnu.

They knew they might die, and they didn't dare to run away.

Liu Zhang heard the locals say that they hated the Xiongnu, and almost every year the Xiongnu would come to rob them.

Sometimes the Huns came more, sometimes less.

A hundred miles north of Yuyang County, it is a grassland with abundant water and grass.

Although the Great Wall and fortresses were built here. There are some places that can't stop the Huns.

The Great Wall is being built every year, and it cannot be said that the Great Wall is useless.

When Liu Zhang heard what the locals said, he was very sympathetic to the local people and angry at what the Xiongnu had done.

If he encounters the Huns before leaving, he must kill more.

Avenging the local people also dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu.

What's the use of their horses running fast, Liu Zhang has all kinds of means to deal with them.

He plans to add an attractant to the feed, along with some powder that will gradually incapacitate the horse.

If the Xiongnu could not gallop on horseback, then their advantage would be greatly reduced.

Liu Zhangzai led the cavalry to kill those Xiongnu, which was only one of the means to deal with the Xiongnu.

It depends on whether the Xiongnu will come in the past two days, and Liu Zhang and they will continue to go to Wei's North Korea in a few days.

Liu Zhang and the others arrived in Yuyang County to rest for a day, and there was continuous light rain that day.

The next day it cleared up, and a pleasant cool breeze blew.

Looking at the endless grasslands to the north, there are scouts coming to report on this day.

The Hun cavalry came to Yuyang County, and it was estimated that there were more than 10,000.

After Li Guang got the news, he asked the Han army in the city to prepare for battle.

Liu Zhang put on armor, and this was also his first battle with the Xiongnu.

He wanted to see how powerful the Xiongnu were, and sent 3,000 cavalry from Yuyang County.

Let Liu Zhang bring five hundred, this time there is no strict battle plan.

Eliminate as many Xiongnu as possible and reduce the threat of Xiongnu to the people of the Han Dynasty.

The cavalry led by Liu Zhang had only one horse each, and the Han Dynasty did not have as many war horses as the Xiongnu.

The quality of the horses was also inferior to that of the Huns, whose war horses ran fast and had good endurance.

Only the elite cavalry of the Han army had the same horses as those ridden by the Xiongnu.

The number of such horses is relatively small, and the horse that Liu Zhang rides is not the best.

There is no way, the best horses have been assigned to Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing.

Li Kang led 500 cavalry from the northeast of Yuyang, and Liu Zhang set out from the northwest.

He asked each Han soldier to bring a small bag of black beans, which he had prepared in advance.

The Xiongnu soldiers divided into four routes and plundered the people around Yuyang County from four directions.

They were going to return with a full load, and this time each Hun took three horses.

Once the Han army came after them, they threw away what they had stolen.

It is important to save your life, if you encounter only a few Han soldiers.

Then go to war with them, and the Huns are like that. If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can run.

Liu Zhang was well versed in history, and he certainly knew how to deal with these ancient nomads.

The biggest advantage of the Han army was that there were stirrups, high bridge saddles, and horseshoes, but the Xiongnu did not.

There were only 2,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry on Yuyang's side, and all the cavalry were sent.

The number of Hun cavalry was more than three times that of the Han army, and of course they could not fight hard with the Huns.

Each cavalryman carried five pounds of specially prepared black beans, which were not for his own horses.

They also brought horse muzzles, Liu Zhang, and they came to a river.

He saw that there were traces of horses being trampled near the river, and it was definitely not Liu Zhang's war horses that had been trampled on.

"We are waiting here, judging by the traces of these horses, the Huns passed through here."

Liu Zhang pointed to the horseshoe prints on the ground, and he dismounted and took a look.

The horseshoe prints are large and deep, and the soil is a little soft because of the light rain before.

One section of the river had an improvised wooden bridge that cavalry could pass through.

The river in front of them was about thirty meters wide and five meters deep.

The Huns will definitely return to this side, and after a little rest, they continue north.

Liu Zhang is here to wait for the rabbit, the grassland is so big, looking for the Huns everywhere will only waste time.

It will also waste the horse's physical strength, let the horse rest for a while, and they continue to wait.

"We'll just wait here, what if the Huns don't go this way?"

A Han army is worried about missing the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and returning without merit will not have much impact on them.

"I'm sure it won't be long before the Huns come."

Liu Zhang expected that the Xiongnu would come, and they wanted to go north.

You have to cross the bridge from here, and if you want to make a detour, it is very likely that you will be encountered by the main force of the Han army.

The Huns are not stupid, they would rather take some time and pass from this side.

They couldn't have thought that there would be Han troops blocking the way here, and besides, there were only 500 Han troops here.

If the Huns encountered it, they would definitely rush over.

"Let the horse eat some grass first, and then put the horse's muzzle on."

They sprinkled black beans on the ground and let the Huns' war horses eat black beans.

You can't let your own war horse eat it, and this method can't be commonly used.

"If the Huns put their war horses in their mouths, wouldn't this black bean be useless?"

It is also possible that the Xiongnu will consider that their war horses eat indiscriminately, and they will put muzzles on their war horses.

"If they put a muzzle on the horses, then I have another way."

There is more than one way to deal with the enemy's war horses, and the Huns may be careless this time.

He has already sent a drone to reconnoitre, and the drone looks like an eagle.

Looking for the traces of the Huns, Liu Zhang wore invisible headphones.

The drone will send him a message, and he will prepare everyone according to the situation.

The Huns who returned this time lost some people here, and Liu Zhang didn't want to return in vain.

He looked at the time of the subspace watch, and it was already half past four in the afternoon.

The drone sent him the news that more than 2,000 Hun cavalry were rushing towards them.

"The Huns are coming, we must be ready for battle."

Liu Zhang stood up from the grass and asked everyone to put on the horse's mouth cover.

Scatter the black beans on the ground while you prepare your weapons.

Check the armor you're wearing again, and there's a fierce battle next.

Those Huns returned with a full load, and Liu Zhang and them were used as a harvester.

Harvest the lives of the Huns, and let everyone make a military achievement.

When the people heard that the Huns were coming, they were not afraid, but some were excited.

Killing the Xiongnu can more or less increase their titles by military merit, so that they can obtain a certain amount of land and homesteads.

They examined their armor, and some of them took off the leather of their long weapons.

The cold light of the blades flickered, and some of them had already wound their crossbow arrows.

Just wait for the Huns to come, the more they come, the better, and the more they will kill.

The higher their military merits, Liu Zhang saw an excited smile on their faces.

The combat effectiveness of the Han army is still very strong, and it does not flinch even in the face of a strong enemy.

They swore to the death in the face of a strong enemy, and Liu Zhang held a strong crossbow in his hand.

He removed the leather from the top of the lance, which served the same purpose as the scabbard of a sword.

In peacetime, when not fighting, the weapon is covered with leather, which can play a role in preventing rust.

Also convenient for daily maintenance, the weapon is a combat partner for every fighter.
