Chapter 485: The strongest Xiongnu in history, Shanyu(1/2)
In the camp of the Huns, groups of Huns gathered around the campfire, biting the roasted golden shanks of lamb, discussing the trophy they obtained and the plundered beauties.
Zhizhi Shanyu aimed the cowhide wine bag filled with strong wine at his throat and poured it into his body, causing a warmth.
"As long as I capture Yizhou, Shazhou, and Guazhou, the troops will be at Yumen Pass. I didn't expect that one day, I will be able to fight to the Central Plains."
Zhizhi Shanyu had a proud expression. At this time, there were only three cities away from Yumen Pass.
Suddenly, there was a riot among the Huns in the simple camp.
Chirp...
In the darkness, the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded, and the Huns were shot and killed, and they fell to the ground, bonfires were splashing, and the sea of fire spread.
"Enemy attack!"
The Huns subconsciously turned over the horse, took off the bow of the corner, and looked around nervously, wanting to know who was attacking their camp.
"kill!!"
An iron cavalry crashed into the camp of the Huns. The general led by the leader held a tiger-headed golden spear and swept across the side. The moment the Hun cavalry was hit by a long spear along the way, they were swept away!
Ma Chao rushed into the Huns' camp from the east, Zhao Yun attacked from the north, Gao Xianzhi attacked from the west, Ban Chao attacked from the south, and Zhang Yichao, the leader of the Guiyi Army, led his troops to meet the four groups of troops nearby!
Bang!
Before a Hun could get on his horse, he was knocked away by Ma Chao's iron armored war horse. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry coming from behind ruthlessly trampled the Hun cavalry into flesh mud!
Ma Dai held a big sword and slashed horizontally, and the sword energy cut off the oncoming Hun cavalry in half!
Ma Yunlu swung his spear, and his moves were similar to Ma Chao, but his power was much smaller than Ma Chao.
But this is normal, because Ma Yunlu's force is far inferior to Ma Chao.
But Ma Yunlu's force was enough to deal with the Hun cavalry below the ten thousand men!
Ma Yunlu was as good as a man, and swept across his spear and swept down two Hun cavalry at the same time.
The Western Liang cavalry trampled over, and the Hun cavalry, mainly leather and light armor, were ruthlessly trampled!
On the other hand, Zhao Yun led the White Horse Yicong to attack from the darkness, first shooting hundreds of Hun cavalry with three rounds of arrows.
Then, Zhao Yun broke into the enemy camp, and the white horse attacked the camp, and the Huns' camp quickly fell into a sea of fire.
A little cold light arrives first, and then the gun comes out like a dragon!
A thousand-captain of the Huns fought with Zhao Yun and was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun with a spear, without any resistance.
"Why do you want your family to be the one who has not yet been destroyed?"
Zhao Yun was so handsome that he rushed among the Huns. He ignored where the Huns' master was. As long as he encountered the Huns' cavalry, Zhao Yun would take the lead.
Military generals at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty had no good feelings for the Huns.
Now, both sides are even more like water and fire, and you will die and die.
This is the only opportunity for the Guiyi Army to defeat the Western Regions coalition, and it must not be missed!
Zhao Yun fought bloody battles, but few of the Huns who blocked the road could fight Zhao Yun.
"The cunning Guiyi Army!"
Zhizhi Shanyu was attacked by the Guiyi army, and the sea of fire spread in the camp, and his scalp was numb.
His hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry were strangled by the Han army in four directions and were defeated!
"Shanyu Guards, assemble!"
Zhizhi Shanyu immediately summoned the imperial guards used to protect the Xiongnu Shanyu.
The Shanyu Guard is a high-level archer and cavalryman, and it is also the most powerful force in the hands of Zhizhi Shanyu!
A team of Hun cavalry with horn bows on their backs and sabers hanging around their waists gathered over their burly bodies and arms.
"Your defense is too lax."
The Hun nobles who truly held military power appeared, and he also brought a Shanyu guard beside him.
Zhizhi Shanyu bent on the front of this man: "The whistle cavalry I set up was probably killed by the Han army, so he failed to notice their actions."
"If you set up open and secret whistle at the same time, the result may be very different. You are still careless."
"I'll ask my ancestors to take action."
"Next, let me learn about the strength of the descendants of the Han people."
This Hun nobleman was not someone else, but the Maodun Shanyu, who once unified various tribes of the Huns and besieged Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, in Baideng Mountain for seven days and seven nights, was also the strongest Xiongs Shanyu!
"The Huns' army has been defeated. It seems that the Xiongnu's Zhizhi Shanyu is indeed the weakest nomadic leader."
Ban Chao, Hou Dingyuan, Eastern Han Dynasty, led a team of cavalry to the camp of the Huns, and the ring-headed sword in his hand fell, and the big heads flew up and then rolled down.
Judging from the current situation, the Huns army has fallen into chaos, and the tactics proposed by Gao Xianzhi are indeed effective.
As long as the Huns were defeated, other nomadic tribes would probably hesitate and doubt whether they should continue to fight with the Guiyi army.
In dealing with these nomadic tribes, Confucian benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness are ineffective, and the fist is really useful.
Suddenly, dozens of arrows shot to the east in the Huns' camp.
Air passes through the shaft of the arrow, making a sharp sound.
All the Hun cavalry who were in chaos regained their rationality and attacked the east in an orderly manner.
"What's going on?"
Ban Chao noticed the changes in the Huns and his face changed slightly.
The sound of arrows sounded in the Hun camps, like military orders, so that all the Hun cavalry who heard the orders launched an attack in one direction.
"Is this special arrow and training method? Is it the Maodun Shanyu of the Xiongnu?!"
Ban Chao quickly thought about countermeasures and instantly thought of the first Maodun Shanyu, who unified many tribes of the Huns, was also the Huns Shanyu who suffered losses in the Han Dynasty.
It is said that Maodun created a kind of arrow that trained his subordinates to ride horses and shoot arrows. Any target shot by his arrow would be beheaded by Maodun.
First, Maodun shot birds and beasts, and someone did not shoot the targets shot by the arrow, Maodun killed them.
Soon, Maodun shot his beloved horse with a sound arrow. Some people on the left and right dared not shoot, and Maodun also killed them.
After a few days, Maodun shot his beloved wife with a sound arrow. The people around him felt fear and dared not shoot, Maodun killed them again.
Then, he followed his father Touman Chanyu to hunt and shot Touman Chanyu with a loud arrow. Everyone around him also shot arrows at Touman Chanyu, and Touman died on the spot.
Finally, Maodun killed all his stepmother, younger brother and ministers who disobeyed him, and established himself as the Shanyu, and expanded his territory and achieved hegemony.
This is a ruthless man who can kill anyone for power, and under the training of Maodun Shanyu, the Xiongnu cavalry strictly implemented the orders.
Therefore, the Hun cavalry of Maodun Shanyu could create the record of besieging Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang in Baideng Mountain.
During the reign of Maodun Shanyu, it was also the period when the Huns were most threatened, until Emperor Wu of Han fought back against the Huns.
"If this is the case, then we underestimate the strength of the Huns!"
Ban Chao's face changed after judging that the real leader of the Huns might not be Zhizhi Shanyu, but Maodun Shanyu.
Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Gao Xianzhi have already entered the camp of the Huns, and they may not be able to detect that the Huns' Chanyu has been replaced.
Maodun Shanyu's arrow shot to the east, and Ma Chao attacked the Huns from the east!
The Huns strictly followed the orders of Maodun Shanyu and focused on counterattacking enemies in one direction.
Moreover, with the strengthening of Maodun Shanyu, the cavalry and melee skills of the Xiongnu cavalry were greatly improved, and instead surrounded Ma Chao and his group who had attacked the camp.
"This group of Huns is different from what the Guiyi Army said, and it is quite difficult to deal with!"
Ma Chao was trapped by the Hun cavalry and realized that the Huns were stronger than they thought, which was completely different from the strength of the Huns as the Guiyi Army said.
The cavalry led by Ma Chao fell into a tough battle, and the cavalry of Xiliang were caught in arrows and fell off their horses.
Maodun Shanyu personally commanded the sharpshooter of the Shanyu guards, and in the dark, he used the firelight of fighting and used bows and arrows to shoot at Ma Chao's cavalry.
In the darkness, bows and arrows were shot in hidden breath, and many Western Liang cavalry had no time to dodge and were shot into the armor by the bows and arrows.
That is, the armor of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was heavy, and the Shanyu Guards of the Xinu could not shoot through the armor of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry with one arrow. Unless they directly shot the key points of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, they could be killed with one arrow.
"ah!!"
The horse was caught in an arrow and screamed.
"Are you okay?"
Ma Chao waved his spear, shot the Rain of Arrows from the Shanyu Guard, and asked Ma Tie loudly.
Ma Tie was also a man and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, brother, I can't die!"
"The Huns have completely reacted and continue to fight. Cavalry such as Turks, Tuqishi, and the nine surnames Tiel will also gather here. At that time, we will definitely be defeated!"
Ma Yunlu was caught in a siege and kept as calm as possible to remind Ma Chao of the situation.
If all the Western Regions coalition forces gathered here, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I know!"
Ma Chao has experienced many battles and knows that he can't delay too long.
