Chapter 283 The Great Han Cavalry (I)

Hexi Corridor. (《》彩 7*

The Guzangyuan where the Yuezhi King was located was already in chaos. In order to avoid the Huns' military attack, the Yuezhi King had just issued an order to migrate his clan and decided to move to the distant Western Regions.

Although I can't bear to leave the Hexi Corridor with lush water and grass, the Yuezhi people have no choice.

The powerful Huns were not able to compete with the Yuezhi people. Although the Yuezhi tribe has a population of more than 400,000 and more than 100,000 strong men, the population and strong men of the Huns are more than twice that of the Yuezhi people. Not long ago, the Huns annexed the Xiutu tribe and the Hunxie tribe, and the Yuezhi people became even more alone.

Although the Han Kingdom sent an envoy to form an alliance with Yuezhi to fight against the Huns, the Yuezhi King did not have too much expectations for the Han people. The Central Plains Empire (Da Qin) did have a powerful cavalry and defeated the Huns. He did not dare to go south to herd horses for a whole thirty years, but now, the cavalry of the Central Plains people has declined.

Therefore, King Yuezhi finally decided to migrate to the distant Western Regions.

On the Guzangyuan, the men of the Yuezhi tribe were busy packing tents, pottery, wooden and other daily necessities into the ox cart, while the women were busy collecting cattle, sheep and livestock. All children who could walk were helping to pack their luggage, while the children who were not cared for by adults sat on the ground and cried loudly. Looking around, there was a desolate scene of the apocalypse.

"Oh oh oh..." A teenager in his teenage years old was driving his flock forward holding a long whip. Suddenly, he seemed to feel or hear something. When he looked back, he saw a faint black line on the horizon in the northeast direction, which was... the Huns?!

"Huns!" The young man threw down his long whip and ran back while shouting in panic, "Huns are here!"

"The Huns are here!"

"The Huns are here!"

"The Huns are here!"

In less than a moment, the news that the Huns arrived spread throughout the Yuezhi Wangting like a wind. The Yuezhi men who were sorting out their makeup threw down their work, hurriedly copied the wooden horse forks with forks or pulled out a bronze short sword that was only two feet long from their luggage, and then turned over and rushed to the outside of the Wangting.

The Yuezhi tribe at this time was still in the Bronze Age.

In fact, at that time, Europe, Egypt and Asia Minor had generally entered the Iron Age, but in the Eastern world, only the Huaxia people mastered iron smelting technology. The surrounding barbarian tribes such as the Xiongnu, Donghu, Yuezhi, and Qiang were basically still in the Bronze Age or even the Stone Age.

In many film and television dramas in later generations, the Huns and Yuezhi people basically used scimitars, which is simply a joke. The real scimitar was not introduced from the West to the East until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and that was the famous Damascus scimitar. Before this, there was no scimitar in the Eastern world at all. With the iron smelting technology of the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was impossible to create a curved steel knife.

Therefore, at this time, whether it is the Huns or the Yuezhi people, except for bows and arrows, there are only bronze daggers, and only the warriors in the clan are qualified to be equipped with bronze daggers. Ordinary Hu cavalry can only use horse forks with forks, or bone spears made of animal bones.

Half a quarter of an hour later, more than 60,000 cavalrymen from the Yuezhi Wangting completed the assembly.

Although the entire Yuezhi tribe has more than 100,000 cavalry, it is nomadic on hundreds of oasis in the Hexi Corridor. It is impossible for the Yuezhi King to summon all the cavalry in the tribe to Wangting. In fact, it is already very good that the Yuezhi King can gather more than half of the cavalry in the Wangting.

If the Yuezhi King could migrate to the Western Regions with these 60,000 cavalry, the vitality of the entire Yuezhi tribe could be basically retained, and after arriving in the Western Regions, he could quickly occupy a piece of water and grassland with this powerful force, so that the Yuezhi tribe could reproduce and survive again. Unfortunately, the Huns came too quickly.

When the King of Yuezhi arrived with hundreds of warriors, the Huns were already not far apart.

I saw that the grassland in the northeast was completely covered by the gray Xiongnu cavalry. Looking around, from miles in front of me to the end of my vision, there were crowded horse heads and endless black people. There was no trace of green in the entire grassland. The Yuezhi King couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart. There were really many Xiongnu cavalry!

#############

"Wow..." Maodun gently shouted at the mount under his crotch, and gently raised his right hand.

In an instant, a low sound of cow horns sounded in the Xiongnu cavalry formation. With the endless sound of cow horns, the Hun cavalry rushing forward slowed down their horses and finally stopped completely.

Mao Dun looked back leisurely and saw the shadows of the Hun cavalry behind him, like an endless ocean. In an instant, an inexplicable sense of pride surged in Mao Dun's chest. He stretched out his right index finger and gently pressed it forward, and ordered Gao Aduo, the King of Zuo Guli, who was accompanying him, to say, "King Zuo Guli, send an envoy to persuade him to surrender."

"Here!" King Zuo Guli replied with his chest and turned around and waved his hand. A cavalry of Huns came out and rushed towards the Yuezhi cavalry formation several miles away on the opposite side like a wind chimney.

In less than a moment, the Hun envoy arrived in front of the Yuezhi Formation.

"Stop!" A warrior of the Yuezhi horse rushed forward and blocked the Huns' envoy.

Although the Hun envoy stopped his horse, he still raised his head and said proudly: "The Great Hun envoy came to pass the message on the order of the Great Shanyu. Where is the Yuezhi King?!"

The King of Yuezhi immediately stepped forward and said, "I am here, what do you mean by the envoy?"

The Hun envoy glanced at Yuezhi coldly and said loudly: "Your hearing this, King Yuezhi, I, the Great Shanyu Maodun, is the descendant of the Heavenly Wolf God's legacy, and is the common ruler of the entire grassland! My Great Hun has a vast grassland of thousands of miles, countless cattle and sheep, and millions of elite cavalry!"

"My Great Huns and millions of cavalry are fighting together, and even the Qilian Mountains can be broken. My Great Huns and millions of cavalry are holding their bows. The feather arrows shot out can even cover the scorching sun in the sky. If your small Yuezhi tribe does not want to be exterminated, if your Yuezhi King does not want his head to be cut off by the Great Shanyu as a wine bottle, he can only surrender to my Great Huns!"

"hateful!"

"It's outrageous!"

"This guy is so arrogant!"

"King, kill this guy!"

"That's right, we Yuezhi people were not scared, hum!"

In an instant, dozens of ten thousand men surrounded by the Yuezhi King, and the thousands of men shouted. Any nomadic people on the grassland who were always fighting against the harsh natural environment would always be somewhat bloody. Faced with such unscrupulous contempt and threat from the Xiongnu envoys, how many Yuezhi people could withstand it?

The Yuezhi King groaned and reached out and shouted: "Get my treasure bow!"

The Yuezhi warriors had already presented the treasure bow. The Yuezhi King took the bow in his hand and pulled the heavy arrow on the string. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Huns envoy turned the horse's head and left. At that time, the Yuezhi King had already tied the bow string and then slapped the string. With the sound of the jar, the Huns envoy who had just run two steps had already fallen off his horse.

Seeing this, the Yuezhi cavalry rosters in front immediately cheered like a tsunami.

In front of the Xiongnu formation.

Seeing the Yuezhi King shooting the Xiongnu envoy, Maodun was not angry, but a hint of sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He raised his right hand again and pressed forward gently, and said lightly: "Xiu Tu tribe, Hun Xie tribe, all attack."

King Xiu Tu, King Hun Xie bent down slightly on the horse's back, and then held his right hand in his chest to express his compliance, then pulled out the double-edged long sword and raised it over the top, and then pulled forward fiercely. More than 30,000 Xiu Tu cavalry on the left wing and more than 20,000 Hun Xie cavalry on the right wing all drew out bronze short swords or held up horse forks, and howled and rushed towards the Yuezhi cavalry formation in front.

Gao Aduo, the king of Zuo Guli, was puzzled and asked Maodun: "The Great Shanyu, don't slaughter people. Hunxie people are all cowards. We only need five thousand warriors to defeat their 50,000 cavalry. Why do we send them to the forefront? If we lose, we will lose the face of our plough people and the face of our Great Huns."

"Gao Aduo, what do you know?" Maodun groaned, then turned his head and looked at the uncle beside him and said.

When he met Maodun's admiring eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, allowing Xiu Tu and Hun Xie to take the lead. It was the suggestion that Gongdun made to Maodun. Gongdun believed that the Zhuli tribe, which belonged directly to Maodun, was the core tribe of the Huns. Only when the Zhuli tribe is strong enough can the Huns be strong.

Therefore, it is necessary to let the Xiutu tribe and Hunxie tribe take the lead. This will not only consume the vigor of the Yuezhi cavalry first, so as to support the warriors of the Li tribe to launch a fatal blow to the Yuezhi cavalry. At the same time, this move can also take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Xiutu tribe and Hunxie tribe, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

#############

In front of the Yuezhi formation.

Seeing the Hun cavalry on the left and right wings attacking, the Yuezhi King drew out his long sword without hesitation and led it forward. More than 60,000 Yuezhi cavalry who were waiting behind him activated their mounts and howled to face the surging Hun cavalry in front. With the sound of horse hooves like tides, the Yuezhi cavalry quickly gathered into a wave of surging cavalry hurricanes.

In less than a moment, the two cavalry had already entered the range of their respective bows.

At that time, the Yuezhi cavalry and the Xiongnu cavalry who were rushing in front almost pulled their bows at the same time. The next moment, a large number of arrows had already emerged from the Yuezhi cavalry formation and the Xiongnu cavalry formation, and then they intertwined into an endless rain of arrows in the air, and then they were viciously gathered down towards their respective targets.

The two armies suddenly had people and horses overturned. At this moment, the crackling sound of bones shattering, the dying wailing of soldiers on both sides, and the sad neighing sounds made when the war horses fell, almost shattering the sky. Whether it was the Yuezhi cavalry or the Xiongnu cavalry, they all fell in a pool of blood under the attack of arrow rain...
