Chapter 122 The threat from the Tang Dynasty(1/2)

"What a strong sense of oppression, the Tang army and the broken-equipped Huns are simply incomparable."

Zhao Ponu felt an amazing sense of oppression from the Tang Dynasty Legion, which made him unable to see the hope of winning in a positive way.

The Tang army was well-equipped, advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and was almost impeccable on the front of the battlefield.

Zhao Ponu led thousands of light cavalry to conquer the city and land. When he met the Tang army, who was equipped with heavy armored infantry and heavy armored cavalry, he found that his chance of victory was too low.

If the light cavalry wants to defeat the Tang army mixed with infantry and cavalry, they must harass and make their formation chaotic, and then launch an attack to determine the outcome in one battle.

However, Zhao Ponu tried many times, and the Tang army remained unmoved. The generals of the Tang army also sent cavalry to drive out the rangers who were harassed the army formation.

The Tang Dynasty legion continued to advance, while Zhao Ponu retreated passively and could not find an opportunity to attack.

“Retreat to a nearby town.”

Zhao Ponu couldn't find the opportunity, so he had to retreat with the light cavalry.

But in this way, the generals of the Tang army saw the opportunity to attack.

The Tang army cavalry suddenly came out from both wings and began to attack Zhao Ponu!

In front of the Tang cavalry, there were hundreds of Tang cavalry riding war leopards. Under the leadership of the Tang generals, they showed amazing explosive power and actually caught up with Zhao Ponu!

"What kind of cavalry is this!"

Zhao Ponu was shocked when he discovered this special Tang army leopard cavalry.

The explosive power displayed by the Tang army's leopard cavalry in a short distance was extremely terrifying, and Zhao Ponu wanted to retreat easily became a luxury.

Zhao Ponu's ranger's horse was frightened by the war leopard, panicked and ran around, causing Zhao Ponu's cavalry formation to collapse.

The Tang army generals were wearing bright light armor, holding horse spears, and rushed to the front, and were brave enough. The sharp horse spear directly tore open the ranger's leather armor and penetrated his chest hard!

The Tang army general swung his horse spear at will, and the Ranger's corpse was several meters away!

The Tang army's leopard cavalry raised their horse spears and relied on their excellent armor to push them all the way. The hundreds of Rangers landed behind were wiped out!

In the rear, ordinary Tang army light cavalry chased after him, and went around to surround Zhao Ponu.

Zhao Ponu drew his sword and turned around and fought, attacked a horse spear, and killed a Tang army leopard cavalry!

Zhan Leopard, who had lost his master, pounced on Zhao Ponu, and Zhao Ponu slashed with another sword, cutting off his sharp claws!

Zhao Ponu's bravery was targeted by the Tang army generals. The Tang army generals were full of heavy armor and rushed towards Zhao Ponu at lightning!

The rangers along the way were shot down by Tang army generals, and then torn apart by the war leopard!

"Retreat, don't fight!"

Zhao Ponu did not dare to be involved by the Tang army generals, and he quickly promoted his talent to bless the rangers. After the outbreak of the Tang army's leopard cavalry, the mobile rangers accelerated one after another and rushed out of the siege.

The Tang army light cavalry with detours on both wings just happened to be empty.

Just one step away from the Tang cavalry and the Tang army's leopard cavalry can form an encirclement.

"Don't chase after it."

The generals of the Tang army did not expect that Zhao Ponu's rangers were so swift and ordered them to stop pursuing, so as not to cause the Tang army to collapse and be defeated by the Xiazhen army behind Zhao Ponu.

Zhao Ponu retreated to Huashan Town, a town powered by Yuan Shu.

To the south of this town is Huashan, one of the five mountains, so it is called Huashan Town.

Zhao Ponu counted the losses and lost 335 Rangers.

"This Tang army leopard cavalry can gain powerful explosive power in a short period of time. Even my ranger is not as fast as the Tang army leopard cavalry. But the Tang army leopard cavalry does not seem to last, otherwise I will definitely not be able to get out."

After Zhao Ponu was defeated by the Tang army generals, he summarized his experience.

The explosive power of the Tang army's leopard cavalry was extremely terrifying. Among the Xiazhen forces, the ranger with the strongest maneuver power was actually caught up by the Tang army's leopard cavalry.

According to Zhao Ponu, the Tang army's leopard cavalry should be the fastest cavalry he has ever seen so far.

The weakness of the Tang army's leopard cavalry is that the explosive power cannot last long, and the speed will become the same as that of ordinary cavalry.

If only the Tang army’s leopard cavalry can be infinitely amplified.

However, the Tang army's infantry and cavalry mixed together and the cooperation of multiple armies can completely cover up the weaknesses of the Tang army's leopard cavalry.

Once involved in the Tang army's leopard cavalry, the Tang army's light cavalry and the heavy armored infantry behind them will surround them.

With his rapid talent and the speed of the ranger, Zhao Ponu escaped the pursuit of the Tang army's leopard cavalry.

And this Tang army with tens of thousands of people is just the tip of the iceberg of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Ponu looked solemn, and after the Tang army was formed, his combat effectiveness was indeed amazing.

While strengthening the town, Zhao Ponu reported Zhang Hua about the invasion of the Tang army.

On the other hand, Feng Yi, who went north to attack the northern territory of Yuan Shu's forces, met the Xiongnu cavalry who came down from the north of the Wei River after collecting the 37th villages of the second town.

A large number of Hun cavalry and servants appeared, with a large number of people and dust rolling.

Strangely, these Hun cavalry were holding the flags of the Han army.

Feng Yi learned that some villages and towns in the north were captured by the Huns, so he retreated to the occupied territory and watched the number of Hun cavalry.

Even if Feng Yi is one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, it is difficult to win under the premise that the force of the troops is large.

The generals who occupied various places sent back the news. Zhang Hua, who was resting in Dazhong Town, learned that the surrounding forces were also encroaching on Yuan Shu's territory. Zhao Ponu was defeated by the Tang army, and Feng Yi confronted the Xiongnu.

"The forces around Yuan Shu will indeed not miss this opportunity."

Zhang Hua spread out the map of Qinchuan at 800 miles, which indicated the forces that Zhang Hua had already found.

Of course, this map has lagged behind.

Because the princes fought in a melee, the various forces fought each other, and the territory was changing every day.

The eight hundred miles of Qinchuan have their forces that perish and the rise of overlords.

"To the west is the Tang army, and to the north of the Wei River, it is the forces established by the Huns. These two forces are two of the largest forces in Qinchuan. Among them, the Tang forces have dozens of towns and a million people."

"Chang'an Town, the main city of the Tang Dynasty, is already a third-level town with a population of 80,000."

Zhang Hua pointed to the position of the Tang Dynasty forces with a serious expression.

There are hundreds of forces of Qinchuan of 800 miles, and there may be only a few major forces with the potential to unify Qinchuan.

Compared with the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Shu is only a second-rate force.

"The forces north of the Wei River were the Han countries established by the Han people in the Han Dynasty, with a population of 500,000, of which the number of the Huns was about 100,000. The entire Huns were soldiers, so the military strength might be larger than the ordinary forces with a population of 500,000."

"The lord of the Han Dynasty was Liu Yuan, who was a descendant of the leader of the Huns Maodun Shanyu. During the Three Kingdoms period, the grandson of the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Yufuluo and the son of the Zuoxian King Liu Bao."

After Zhang Hua learned about the forces north of the Wei River, he felt complicated.

Zhang Hua did not know Liu Yuan, but Li Ji, Fan Zhongyan and others were familiar with the figures of the previous dynasty.

Liu Yuan is a strange person. Although he was a Hun, he had a high degree of sinicization. He took advantage of the famous Eight Kings Rebellion in the late Western Jin Dynasty and served as a general under Sima Wang Sima Ying, one of the Eight Kings of Sima. Later, he separated Bingzhou, established the Han Kingdom, set up civil and military officials, followed the emperor Liu Chan, worshiped Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Emperor Shizu Liu Xiu, and Zhaolie Liu Bei, and believed that he had inherited the orthodox Han Dynasty...

The Huns established the Han Kingdom a bit like the Germans in the West established the Holy Roman Empire.

After Liu Yuan's death, his son Liu Cong led his troops to Luoyang, destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Five Barbarians began to invade China.

The Huns were still quite active in the Western Jin Dynasty. Until the national integration stage of the Five Barbarians invading China, the Huns integrated into other nomadic peoples and Han people and disappeared from then on.

When Liu Yuan traveled through this world, he still regarded himself as the King of Han, established the Han Kingdom to win over the hearts of the people. After all, the number of Han people was the largest.

Most of the Huns in Qinchuan gathered in Liu Yuan's Han Dynasty, so Liu Yuan became one of the major forces.

One hundred thousand Huns could produce 30,000 Hun cavalry, which was enough to run rampant.

Zhang Hua occupied Yuan Shu's Dazhong Town, which bordered these two major forces, and there were more than a dozen scattered small forces in the middle.

"Don't provoke the two major forces, the Tang Dynasty and the Huns and Han Kingdoms."

Zhang Hua ordered the occupation of villages and towns that were originally affiliated with Yuan Shu, and tried to avoid fighting with the Tang Dynasty and the Huns and Han countries.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Hun Khanate often had tens of thousands of troops, and Zhang Hua was not sure to defeat them.

Deng Ai, Feng Yi, and Zhao Ponu are still snatching the land.

Yuan Shu's population was 400,000, Zhang Hua robbed 250,000, Tang army robbed 100,000, and the Huns robbed 50,000.

The Tang army was supported by strong national strength and was quite strong. They attacked Yuan Shu's territory and directly conquered the city.

If it weren't for Deng Ai, Zhao Ponu, who had restrained the Tang army and curbed the Tang army's military attack, might have directly attacked Dazhong Town.

Of course, because the Tang Dynasty was too powerful and was feared by the surrounding forces, the Tang army did not dare to do their best to attack Dazhong Town, otherwise other forces would take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, the Tang army that occupied Fenghuang Town had only 10,000 people.

The 800-li Qinchuan is not only a large force with a population of one million, but also several other forces that can threaten the forces of the Tang Dynasty.

This is why Qin Chuan always fights.

The Huns were restrained by Feng Yi and could not continue to move south.

So Zhang Hua owned the first territory in Qinchuan, with a population of 250,000, which could barely maintain 20,000 troops.

There is also Heluo, a population of more than 600,000, in the rear, which can provide support for this territory.

The expedition to Yuan Shu lost more than 3,000 troops and horses, defeated Jin Wushu's attempt to annex Yuan Shu, and obtained another 250,000 people, achieving the strategic goal of entering Qinchuan. Zhang Hua could still accept this result.
