Chapter 1114 You are also worthy of the surname Tzuyu? (2)
***
The Huns are a people who respect their ancestors very much.
In the historical records of later generations, there is more than one place where the Huns' respect for their ancestors was recorded.
In the consciousness of the Huns, the ancestors are almost the same as those of the Han Dynasty.
The Huns worshiped their ancestors and commemorated their ancestors, which accounted for almost half of their religious activities.
Therefore, when the military officials heard the complaints from their brothers-in-law and nephews, and heard that there were changes in the tombs of the old Shang Shanyu and Maodun Shanyu in Longcheng, they were immediately angry and frightened.
"Does Landosin want to rebel?" The military officials were going crazy.
He mobilized the army privately and forced his mother to death.
Perhaps in Landosin's view, he was doing it for the Huns and to save the nation.
But in the eyes of military officials, this is absolutely not the case.
In any country, as a minister, if he secretly mobilizes the army to force the queen mother to death, no matter what his starting point is, this minister will be considered by the ruler to be rebellious and evil-minded.
Unless this minister has betrayed his own king.
Otherwise, if this monarch has even the slightest bit of vigilance, he will become furious.
Not to mention, the shamans and the nobles in the royal court all said in unison: that thief Lan Tuoxin forced the Mulan family to death, and the sacred tombs of Maodun Chanyu and Laoshang Chanyu were defiled.
The ancestors were angry underground, causing the earth to tremble, and the priests' idols even shed tears of blood.
This frightened the military officials to pee.
The ancestors are angry, this is no joke.
Now, the Huns were already facing a strong challenge from the Han Dynasty.
His Chanyu will definitely be questioned.
If Gaoque's side is not good, I am afraid that the Hejian Land will be lost, and even the Yinshan Mountains will be controlled by the Han Dynasty.
The Hejian Land is the ancestral court of the Xiongnu, the garden of the Chanyu, and the Yinshan Mountain is the protector of the Xiongnu.
If you lose this place, as a Chanyu, how can you explain it to your ancestors and gods?
If it were this time, the military officials would not even deal with the person who forced his biological mother to death.
What will other people think?
Will they feel that Chanyu is no longer fearful?
Will there be many people who imitate Landosin?
"Where is that **** now?" The military minister immediately became furious: "Let the Lan family capture this **** immediately, cut him into pieces with a thousand knives, and make his head into a wine vessel to comfort his mother.
clan and ancestors!”
Although it was said that Landosin forced his mother to death, the military officials were actually happy and even cheering in their hearts.
but……
Who are you Landasin?
The eldest son of the Lan family, you are not even the Tuan family, how dare you make decisions for me?
Do you, the Lan family, want to replace him?
Therefore, even though the Huyan clan and the Xubu clan said good things for Landasin, the military officials were determined to kill Landasin!
"If Lan can't do it, then Shanyu will personally lead the troops to dredge Jishan!" the military minister said categorically with a cold face.
Within the Lan family, several nobles who originally wanted to protect Lan Tuoxin saw this posture and immediately did not dare to speak.
Fortunately, at this time, the right captain next to the military minister, Subu Biyu of the Sub clan, said: "Please calm down, Shanyu. Now, Lan Tuoxin still controls two elite ten thousand horses of the Lan clan.
It would be better for the Great Chanyu to first transfer him back to Shan Yuting and disarm him..."
The military minister then managed to calm down and said: "Then I will follow the wishes of the Commander-in-Chief..."

Gaoque City Gate slowly opened, and hundreds of cavalry stepped out.
These cavalrymen wearing animal skins and carrying many oil-soaked arrows rushed out with a roar.
Among these cavalry, twenty Condor Shooters, the strongest warriors in the Huns, were hidden among them.
These terrifying warriors quietly followed the large army.
Be ready to attack the Han Dynasty's positions at any time.
It doesn't take much, just give them a few breaths, and they can accurately shoot the rockets onto the huge wooden structures of the Han Dynasty.
The appearance of these Xiongnu cavalry naturally attracted the attention of the Han army.
Yi Zong, who had just entered the camp and had not even had time to exchange greetings with Cheng Bu Shi, saw this situation, smiled and said to Cheng Bu Shi: "General Cheng, it seems that the mouse has come out of the hole..."
Cheng Bushi smiled slightly and said: "It's a pity that it's just a mouse, not even a wolf!"
"It would be nice to have mice to eat!" Yi Zong said with a smile: "I basically didn't eat any meat all the way here..."
This time, the Han army came out of the fortress in three groups.
Zhidu's troops suffered heavy losses in Heyin, but they also had a lot to eat.
More than 10,000 people were beheaded before and after, and tens of thousands were captured.
It can be said to be a great victory comparable to Mayi.
As for Cheng Buji's troops, he swept all the way and fought seven or eight battles, large and small. Although they were small-scale battles, he also beheaded two or three thousand people.
Especially the battle at Honghu Sai, the beheading was close to level 1,800!
The main force of Du Duyi Zong, commander in chief, marched all the way like an armed parade.
Often the Huns would run away without even taking off their pants.
After leaving Ziling and arriving at Siyang, the enemies of Siyang abandoned their helmets and armor as soon as they saw the breastplate, and fled to Jiuyuan in embarrassment.
They even disappeared before they could contaminate the water source on the road.
When he arrived in Yiliang, Yi Zong thought to himself, would he be able to eat meat anyway?
As a result, as soon as the main force of the Huns saw the shadow of the cuirassiers, the so-called invincible cavalry immediately collapsed, and the others fled in all directions.
The Han army could not catch up, and the Huns abandoned a large number of livestock, slaves, women and children.
These people entangled Yi Zong's footsteps.
It has been more than half a month since I left the fortress in the clouds.
The total number of beheadings of Yi Zong's troops is fifty...
However, more than 100,000 Xiongnu prisoners of war and herdsmen, slaves, women and children were captured and accepted, and hundreds of thousands of livestock were seized. Although most of them were cattle and sheep, there were also more than 10,000 war horses.
Judging from the results, it is very good.
However, under the Han system, beheading was the priority.
Especially for generals, the indicator of beheading is the same as the GDP indicator of the later Chinese dynasty at the beginning of the new century. It is an iron rule.
The Han system stipulates the calculation method of military merit for the leader of an army and senior generals.
Regardless of the objective conditions, only the number of beheadings is calculated, and the pure beheadings after the death and battle damage of the own army are also subtracted.
Along the way, due to cold weather, slippery roads, illness, or accidents on the march, more than 300 soldiers of the Yi Zong Division have died.
In other words, the number of beheadings of Yi Zong and his Sima lieutenants is now negative.
If you return to Chang'an with this result and want to be promoted and make a fortune, just dream!
It’s already pretty good if you don’t suffer from criticism and criticism.
In fact, it is inevitable that some people will gossip and say: If you are more negative than a few hundred, I can do it.
As for seizures and prisoners, they will be ignored.
They would even consider it to be the work of Zhidu and Cheng Bushi.
Thinking of this, Yi Zong's balls ached.
Whether we can turn negative points into positive points will depend on the Battle of Gaoque.
Otherwise, the country spent hundreds of millions of money to build this army of tigers and wolves under his command, and there were more than 100,000 civilians at the rear, running through the ice, snow and cold wind for his campaign.
Many people paid the price with their lives.
But it only resulted in the beheading of the Chariot and Cavalry General's troops.
How should he face the superiors and subordinates in the army? How should he meet the elders of Beidi, Shangjun, and Daiguo? How could he have the nerve to return to Chang'an to meet the emperor?
Of course, Yi Zong can also choose to quietly kill the prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp, so that he can collect at least a few thousand heads.
But this kind of thing, let alone once it is discovered, will become the laughing stock of the world, and it is even more contrary to conscience, especially martial ethics.
This is something Yi Zong is unwilling to do.
This is a stupid thing that any promising general would definitely not do nowadays.
Kill good people and take credit?
He will be scolded in the history books for a thousand years!
Therefore, when Yi Zong found hundreds of riders jumping into the big hole dug by Cheng Bushi, he was really envious and jealous.
Cheng Bushi just laughed and didn't answer.
The dilemma encountered by Yi Zong's troops is actually a trouble of happiness in essence. Because no Huns army dared to face the cuirassiers.
When countless Huns saw the Han breastplate, they either knelt on the ground with their foreheads pressed against the snow, did not dare to move, or ran away.
No one dared to draw a sword in front of the divine knight.
In Cheng Bushi's opinion, this is both the honor and the sorrow of the breastplate.
The enemy was so frightened that they did not even dare to draw their swords, which proved the intimidating power of the Han cuirassiers.
But, from another perspective, invincibility is a kind of loneliness.
Facing the Breastplate, no army in the known world can contend.
Except for mountains and rivers, there is no force that can stop the breastplate from moving forward.
Therefore, in the eyes of warriors, this is indeed a bit sad.
Judging from the current situation, it is probably impossible for the Huns to develop an army that can compete with the Cuirass in the next fifty years.
Within a hundred years, cuirassiers would be enough to suppress the world.
As they spoke, the Huns' cavalry gradually approached the Han army's siege artillery position.
When they came within a hundred steps, an overwhelming rain of arrows enveloped the world.
Still want to make a sneak attack in front of Cheng Bushi?
You know, the author of the "Qiannu Minutes", which is the code of conduct of the Han family's crossbow troops and is regarded as a holy book by Qiannu officers, is Cheng Bushi!
Not only that, Cheng Bushi also developed combat instructions for the Han army's breastplate and crossbow units, such as Cheng's Law and the Three Principles of Tiger and Ben.
Others didn't know it, but Yi Zong knew it very well in front of Cheng Bushi.
His position is three hundred paces in radius, it must be a death trap!
Unless the number of enemies is large enough to withstand more than three rounds of arrow rain, otherwise, don't even think about touching half of Cheng Bushi's position!
Even if the enemy passed through the rain of arrows and approached his position.
But that is not the beginning of victory, but the hell of death!
Cheng Wushi's military strategy has always been to link one link with another, and it is very tight, just like those machines in Mo Yuan. The rotation of one gear will inevitably drive the rotation of other gears.
Even the Yulin Guards can hardly pose a threat to the position guarded by Cheng Bushi without using breastplates to open the way!
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the whole world became quiet.
There were only a few hundred miscellaneous cavalry, and under the ambush of thousands of bows and crossbows, there was no chance.
On the battlefield, except for arrows and corpses, there were no other objects.
The Huns at the top of Gaoque City were stunned and their legs were trembling.
"There are twenty vulture shooters here..." King Qu She's face turned dark! Condor shooters, the title of the strongest warriors of the Xiongnu, they are brave, powerful, superb in shooting, and godlike in riding.
The ability to freely draw a bow on horseback is impressive.
However, all this is of no use.
In the face of the devastating covering blow of the Han army, the death of the vulture shooters was not much nobler than that of the others. At most, they only had a few fewer arrows stuck in their bodies, but they were still inevitably pierced into a hornet's nest by the arrows!
The Han army simply didn't know that they had just shot to death twenty vulture shooters who were comparable to the Xiongnu nobles!
Hundreds of soldiers from the tunnel camp, after the rain of arrows stopped, swaggered to the battlefield and cut off the heads of the cavalrymen in front of the Huns at the top of Gaoque City, just like cutting off the heads of chickens.
The only regret is that the Flying Fox Army is not here.
Otherwise, these artists will definitely let the Hun nobles at the top of Gaoque City feel the charm of architectural art.
But with Qu Sheren's lesson learned, other guys who were eager to fight suddenly stopped.
Huyan Dangtu also had a cold face, extremely gloomy.
At this time, King Qiulin finally seized the opportunity and stood up and said: "General Zuo, please don't worry! The warriors of the Qiulin clan can destroy the creations of the Han Dynasty for General Zuo!"
He said with great pride: "My Qiulin clan has three hundred warriors who are not afraid of the cold wind in the cold night!"
"Tonight, I will let them take advantage of the darkness to lurk in the snow in front of the Han Dynasty's formation, waiting for a sudden attack when it is extremely cold in the middle of the night. They will definitely destroy these Han Dynasty people's creations!"
Hearing this, Huyan Dangtu finally smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to King Qiulin!"
King Qiulin was even more proud, holding his head high like a rooster. (To be continued.)
