The first thousand two hundred and eighty-fifth section of the Xiongnu god riding (1)
When Huyandangtu led these heavily armored warriors into the tent, the Xiongnu nobles became a little angry and looked over one after another.
Upon seeing this, several nobles who had seen the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty were immediately disappointed.
What kind of Hun horse?
They were clearly just a few iron jars armed with bronze.
But many people who had never seen the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty immediately became elated.
These heavily armored warriors, all covered in bronze, looked indeed majestic and very attractive.
At least, it made them feel a little more at ease.
Can……
Is this armor too heavy?
Many people looked at these heavily armored warriors and visually assessed the weight of the armor on their bodies.
Most people felt that the armor of these warriors probably exceeded their weight!
How is this good?
How can this be fought?
The military officials also saw the hesitation of these people, waved their hands and said: "Bring the magic horse here!"
"Yes!" Huyan Dangtu immediately accepted the order.
Not long after, he walked in leading an extremely tall and elegant war horse.
The height of this war horse is something the Huns have never seen before!
His shoulder height is even close to the necks of some Hun nobles, and his strong muscles make people's eyes filled with stars.
This is indeed a magical horse!
Many people immediately stared at these war horses with burning eyes, reluctant to move their eyes away.
The military officials were also very proud and said: "These sacred horses are Ben Shanyu's prayers to the gods and ancestors. The gods responded to Ben Shanyu's prayers, so they ordered these sacred horses to come down to earth to fight for Ben Shanyu!"
Of course, the fact is that he found these horses from a valley in the Kingdom of Dawan.
The Dawan people have raised and protected these war horses for generations, treating them as treasures and not letting outsiders know about them.
When the military officials attacked Dawan, Gracchus, a slave, confessed the location of these horses in order to survive.
The military officials were overjoyed when they got it.
These Dawan horses have much higher physique and height than prairie war horses.
It is simply the mount of a mythical god!
After getting these war horses, the military ministers immediately assigned them to their headquarters, let their close confidants raise and care for them, and gave them the best care.
However, it is a pity that the number of such horses is too small.
The military officials searched the entire mountains and fields of Dawan and found less than 2,000 horses.
What's even more despicable is that the military officials heard that more than two hundred of these magical horses had fallen into the hands of Wusun and Yin Zhixie.
Then, Wusun and Yin Zhixie sold most of these horses to the Han Dynasty.
The rest are all missing.
Some people say that on the eve of Wusun's defeat, Wusun Kunmo ordered the slaughter of dozens of sacred horses.
Some people also say that when the Han army conquered Nanchi, they captured more than 30 similar horses.
But undoubted and conclusive information shows that at least one hundred mares flowed into the Han Dynasty through various channels and reached the hands of the Han Dynasty emperor.
In addition, thousands of Wusun horses domesticated by the Wusun people had flowed into the hands of the Han Dynasty.
These facts made the military officials angry and panicked after knowing it.
Because this shows that the Han Dynasty people had been planning to fight against the Xiongnu and become enemies of the Xiongnu several years before the Battle of Mayi.
Every time I think of this, the military officials are extremely angry, and then full of panic.
Because he knew that the Han Dynasty's attack on the Xiongnu had been planned for a long time.
It is very certain that the Han Dynasty has been planning this since the Battle of Pingcheng.
It is only now that they have sufficient capabilities to start a war.
what does that mean?
The Han Dynasty planned this war for more than fifty years!
It took more than fifty years to prepare for this war!
More than fifty years ago, his military officials were not born yet, but the Han Dynasty people were already planning!
this is too scary……
The prairie peoples never even thought about next year!
But the people of the Han Dynasty were already planning for today more than fifty years ago.
How to play this?
Now, the only good news for the military ministers is probably that the intelligence that came from the Han Dynasty is correct.
Indeed, in the far west, there is a rich, vast and populous place that is easy to rule and conquer.
This place called Shendu may be the retreat for the Huns in the future.
But now, the Xiongnu still and must face the Han Dynasty, the greatest threat to the Xiongnu and the most difficult enemy in the world!
Sometimes, the military officials even wondered whether the Huns were born in the wrong place.
If the Huns had appeared in the west, they would have swept the world by now, conquered the world, become invincible, and established a huge empire.
However, the Xiongnu appeared in the east and were adjacent to the Han Dynasty. This was the Xiongnu's misfortune!
Of course, it can also be said to be the luck of the Huns!
Because the military officials knew very well that if the Xiongnu were born in the rich land of the west, they would have lost their enterprising spirit long ago, decayed in the prosperity and peace, and eventually turned into clouds and mud.
Just like the Yuezhi cavalry he saw during last year's Western Expedition.
Once upon a time, the Yuezhi cavalry was as powerful as, or even stronger than, the Xiongnu cavalry!
They once stirred up the turmoil of the entire world and were the Xiongnu’s biggest enemies!
Even the Han Dynasty was not as threatening as the Yueshi!
The Yuezhi cavalry at that time were powerful, elite and united.
However, during this western expedition, the military officials found that their opponents had become weaker.
And it’s too weak!
In the past, the Yuezhi cavalry could compete with the Huns cavalry on the same stage.
It took the Huns two generations of the world, the Great Chanyu, the Great Chanyu, and two successive generations of heroes to drive out this formidable enemy.
In this process, the Yuezhi people even had the upper hand for a time.
He was defeated miserably at the hands of the Yuezhi people back then.
However, after only twenty years of moving westward, the Yuezhi people were already so weak that they could no longer regain their former majesty.
Ten thousand Xiongnu cavalry can chase 20,000 or even 30,000 Yuezhi cavalry, scurrying all over the mountain!
In Juzhanti, he only used 30,000 cavalry to crush the Yuezhi, Daxia, and Kangju coalition forces, causing them to flee in confusion, and the corpses of the dead even blocked the river.
Thinking of this, the military officials already understood.
Moving westward was the last and helpless decision.
As long as possible, he will never give up his determination to compete with the Han Dynasty for hegemony!
He did not want the Xiongnu to be reduced to that weak state like the Yueshi people, and become wastes indulged in extravagance and wealth.
Moreover, facts have also proved that the center of the world has always been in the east.
The West is the corner and edge of the world, where losers and eliminated people gather.
Only the Eastern world is the core of the world and the real stage!
Thinking of this, the military minister looked at all the nobles and said proudly: "The gods gave me divine horses. I mixed these divine horses with the good horses of my Great Huns to form the God of my Great Huns."
ride!"
He stepped down from the throne and ordered to the heavily armored warriors: "Get on the horse, let all the nobles show the majesty of the Huns' god riding!" (To be continued.)
