As the morning sun rose, the land at dawn was devastated. Li Guang, riding a war horse and leading the Han army, opened up and walked through the corpses and messes on the ground.
"The general has found out that this Xiongnu Wanqi is a Wanqi group composed of prisoners of war from Wusun, Dawan and other countries in the Western Regions that was formed by the Xiongnu Chan the year before last. It is named Zhebie and is one of the main forces of the Xiongnu's Western Expedition.
..." Yang Shi excitedly said to Li Guang: "And our army almost completely wiped out the Xiongnu Wanqi last night!"
The other Yuyang generals were also full of excitement and admired Li Guang endlessly.
Victory has always been the best glue to unite and unite people's hearts.
Even if it takes two thousand years, it will still be the same.
However, Li Guang knew that he had only knocked off one of the Xiongnu's probes, and had not even damaged the Xiongnu's hair at all.
An army of slaves and prisoners of war?
As long as the Huns are willing, they can pull out ten or a hundred!
The vast world of the Western Region, with its thousands of tribes and nations, was the best place for the Huns to find cannon fodder.
Of course, today's victory is indeed very important and timely.
At the very least, the soldiers of Yuyang County gained confidence after this battle.
What Li Guang is most worried about is that the Yuyang County soldiers lack self-confidence.
"The preliminary statistics of the number of beheadings is about 1,500. In addition, our army also captured hundreds of prisoners..." The military judge in charge of military statistics reported: "Thousands of war horses were also captured. General,
This is indeed a big win!”
Although this Wanqi was just the Huns' slave Wanqi, Chang'an's accounting model for the heads of Northern captives had always treated all Northern captives equally (except nobles).
In other words, these heads and prisoners of war will be converted into the same military merit as the real Huns.
This is what makes the Yuyang generals excited!
Killing two thousand people in one battle is a huge military achievement even today. Although the princes may not be able to get it, they will be crowned kings or something like that.
Even Li Guang is complacent.
It is the ideal and ambition of all soldiers of the Han Dynasty to be awarded the title of lord.
He is no exception!
"After cleaning the battlefield, our army will retreat immediately..." Li Guanglue said excitedly: "The Huns' revenge may come at any time!"
This is also Li Guang’s most direct judgment!
The Huns are not the kind of masters who will back down when beaten!
Even in the countryside of the Han family, beating the small ones would attract the adults, let alone the Yi Di?
……………………………………………………
Gracchus and Rus, with their defeated troops, ran for a whole day.
Wait until daybreak and gather the troops.
Gracchus sadly discovered that his army was reduced to less than one-third.
The remaining people were either buried in the flames, died of cannibalism, or disappeared in the panic last night.
Being missing on the battlefield is almost equal to death!
Such a disastrous defeat made him and everyone dejected.
Those Hun nobles who were sent to supervise and supervise the war were even more panicked.
The Xiongnu had no laws, and naturally no military law.
Therefore, the Huns' treatment of the defeated was completely based on their own free will.
For example, when Hu Yan was slaughtered, Gao Que was defeated so miserably, but the result was that he was only deprived of his title as a general on the left, and was still allowed to lead thousands of cavalry alone, as a punishment for committing crimes and meritorious service.
However, Gracchus and others all know that they are not Huyan Dangtu!
Therefore, as soon as these people got together, they immediately reached a consensus.
When they led the troops back to the Huns' central army, they immediately showed off their acting skills.
"Great Chanyu, I was ordered to march south with the Wanqi of Jebe. I didn't want to meet the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty near the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty..." A Xiongnu nobleman cried and knelt down in front of the military minister, with a look of despair on his face.
, said with tears: "This slave has committed a serious crime, please punish me!"
Gracchus and Ross crawled in front of the military officials in an even more exaggerated manner, and with their heads on their knees, they said: "Great Chanyu, I had no shame in coming back to see you! However, the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty suddenly appeared and summoned the Pyroman to attack.
Our army... the slaves have no choice but to leave behind their miserable lives and come back to report to the Great Chanyu..."
The military minister looked at these people, these nobles who were crying and shouting. His face was also pale, and his fingers were even trembling.
The other Xiongnu nobles were not much better.
Everyone looked solemn, and even their faces were fighting!
The Divine Cavalry of the Han Dynasty?!
That terrifying cavalry that penetrated Zhelan's headquarters in one round in a frontal charge and completely defeated Zhelan in the second time?
Why did they appear?
How to do how to do?
Countless people were panicked.
The cavalry of Zhelan's headquarters are well-deserved to be the strongest troops even in the entire Xiongnu Empire!
Even the elite Wanqi of Shan Yuting's headquarters, and even the Wanqi of Shan Yu himself, are only on par with them, and even far behind them in terms of bravery and combat literacy!
Zhelan!
That was the representative of the devil and madman. Before Mayi, he served as the whip of the Chanyu and was the trump card of the Xiongnu Chanyu to suppress the world!
Even now, the Zhelan tribe's vitality is severely damaged, but no one dares to underestimate it!
This terrifying tribe still firmly controls their pastures and territory, making it impossible for anyone else to get involved!
But the main force of such a terrifying and powerful tribe was easily torn to pieces by a Han army's cavalry and trampled into the mud in the Battle of Mayi, in front of the Wuzhou Fortress.
All those who survived that battle and returned to the grassland told all the Huns with exaggerated words and crazy behavior how terrifying the Han cavalry was.
According to legend, this cavalry is heavily armored, man and horse are one body, invulnerable to swords, and when the whip is raised, it is as fast as lightning, and its attacks are like thunder!
In the Battle of Gaoque, more Huns witnessed the advance and attacking posture of this terrifying Han Dynasty cavalry.
All those who had witnessed it described it after they came back: "The divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty was tall and burly, covered with invulnerable heavy armor. Its armor was like a mirror. When it charged, it looked like the sun and the moon. This was indeed the cavalry of the gods.
!”
These descriptions intensified the Huns' fear of this cavalry.
Divine Cavalry!
God's Cavalry!
Invulnerable to knives, as fast as lightning, and as moving as thunder!
How can mortals resist and overcome?
Zhelan was defeated, and the defeat was so simple and complete, how could we possibly defeat him?
Therefore, in front of Gaoque, the Huns cavalry fled, and some tribes even ran three hundred miles in one day and night!
All the plans for Huyan Dangtu before the war came to nothing!
But now, when this terrifying cavalry appeared, the Hun nobles suddenly became uneasy.
"Great Chanyu, how about..." A Hun nobleman who was still very high-spirited in front of the military ministers and boasted about Haikou said weakly: "Let's withdraw our troops... Anyway, it is said that the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty cannot pursue them at long distances...
…”
As soon as these words came out, the other nobles looked at the military officials with concern.
They had been frightened to death by the news of the appearance of the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty. At this moment, everyone was the third senior brother, and they just wanted to separate and bow quickly and go back to their respective homes.
Whoever goes to fight to the death with the gods of the Han Dynasty will go!
Anyway, they are not going to die!
Yes!
Fighting against the Divine Cavalry is not about dying, so what is that?
King Zhelan, Yin Zhixie, Huyan Dangtu, and...
Which of these great nobles in the Han Dynasty was not a brave and capable general who was famous throughout the country?
Especially Na Qizhi, known as the Barbarian King of Jinshan, his tribe of thousands of horses, even in the Xiongnu country, is famous for their bravery, cruelty and bloodshed.
However, the Hujie people lowered their heads in front of the Han army to save their lives.
As for Yin Zhixie’s lack of facial recognition, his head is probably hanging in the Imperial Ancestral Temple of the Han Dynasty, as a sacrifice like a pig or dog!
When the military officials looked at these cowards, their lungs almost exploded with anger.
Is it even possible to withdraw troops this easily?
Don't these fools know that if they can't grab things this time, then there will be a famine in the whole of Makunan this winter?
By this time next year, I’m afraid life in Muhoku will be difficult.
What's more important is that since the beginning of the army, in fact, the military minister and his army have no way out!
If he loses this time, his throne will be on the verge of collapse and the entire grassland will fall apart.
In other words, the Huns now have no choice but to continue fighting!
But……
But his enemy may be the most terrifying army in the world, the Han Dynasty Divine Cavalry!
That invincible, unstoppable, unconquerable, unconquerable, unstoppable terrifying swarm!
They once trampled Zhelan's big eagle war flag in Mayi, trampled on Yin Zhixie's wolf-headed banner, made Lou Nuanren bow his head, and made Aries despair!
And in Gaoque, as if entering a deserted land, tens of thousands of Huns cavalry were allowed to flee thousands of miles away!
How to deal with them?
If this terrifying cavalry cannot be dealt with, then the Huns will fail in this southern invasion and will eventually usher in their doom!
"The divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty?" The military official took a deep breath and told everyone something that even he did not believe: "This Shanyu already has a way to deal with it!"
He pretended to be confident and said to the nobles: "The so-called summoning of meteorites and burning people are nonsense and impossible to happen... Dear nobles, let's see how this book is torn into pieces. This false god rides!"
"The Huns also have their own heavy armored cavalry!" the military official suddenly said proudly to the crowd.
"Huyan is the butcher, bring out this Chanyu's heavy armored cavalry and show it to all the nobles..." the military ministers ordered loudly.
"Yes!" Huyan Dangtu took a deep breath, knelt down and said.
Then, he walked out of the tent, entered a secret dome in the tent of the King of the Huns, and said to several strong Xiongnu men inside: "The Great Chanyu wants to see you, so immediately put on your armor and follow me to meet you... …”
"Yes!" These strong men immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Then, they immediately began to get busy. Under the service of dozens of slaves, they put on pieces of heavy armor and moved their bodies with difficulty, making a clicking sound.
By the time they put on their armor, it was already half an hour later.

Yesterday I was stuck in a traffic jam on the road when I got home. The traffic jam was so overwhelming that when I got home, it was already 12 o'clock. Let me wipe it.
Well, today I will make up for yesterday’s two updates~ (To be continued.).
