The first thousand two hundred and eighty-sixth chapter of the Xiongnu god riding (2)
On the broad plain, the military official stood on a hill with high spirits, leading his nobles, and watched the performance of the heavy armored cavalry who were preparing to mount their horses in the distance amid the attention of tens of thousands of people.
Almost all the Huns now stretched their necks, waiting for the performance of their own divine horses.
Aji was also crowded in the crowd, his face full of pride and excitement.
"The Great Huns also have their own divine horse..." Aji said with a flushed face and yelled at the people around him.
Others are also extremely proud.
The Xiongnu have been shrouded in the shadow of the Han Dynasty's divine knights for too long.
Since the Battle of Mayi, whenever there is a shadow of the Han Dynasty's divine cavalry, it is even just a legend that they appear.
The Xiongnu were left without a master and panicked.
No one dares to fight those terrible cavalry!
Even if you don't dare to bend your bow at them, if you see them, you can only run. If you can't run, you can only surrender!
There is no way, the divine knight! Too powerful!
So far, no one has been able to go through three rounds under him!
The Huns wearing heavy armor also felt the heavy responsibility. Each of them took heavy steps, struggling to climb the tall war horse with the support of several slaves, and fixed their buttocks into the saddle.
Their successful launch immediately triggered cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
Countless Huns celebrated with their crowns played, and many nobles even cried with joy.
However, only these cavalrymen know their own suffering.
Their men and armor combined are too heavy!
As soon as he mounted his horse, the war horse under his crotch was the best, most outstanding and most powerful war horse that the Xiongnu could find.
But it also made me snort and feel a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, they all had feelings for these war horses, and they all calmed down after being comforted.
But moving forward is still a problem!
Because the armor is too heavy!
Since the Xiongnu could not produce iron, let alone steel, they used bronze instead.
The problem is, bronze is heavy and too brittle.
Therefore, when making these heavy armors, the Huns could only use stupid methods.
What kind of stupid solution?
Just grind it by hand!
It takes half a year for a beetle leaf to be thinned!
And the full set of heavy armor they wore had more than 3,000 armor leaves!
In other words, in order to make a set of heavy armor, the Huns used 3,000 people and at least half a year to make it.
However, even so, it is still too heavy!
The total weight of the Han army's breastplate did not exceed fifteen kilograms, but the bronze armor of the Huns weighed at least forty kilograms!
Such heavy armor is very bulky when worn on the body. Adding the weight of the person itself, it exceeds one hundred kilograms.
Even if the Huns found the BMW with the strongest load capacity and power in the known world, it would still be too heavy.
Almost impossible to charge!
However, they don't need to charge...
These cavalrymen rode their horses and patiently marched slowly for more than a hundred steps in front of the crowd. Then, both men and horses were panting.
But in the eyes of outsiders, what they saw was that the Huns' divine cavalry carried cavalry and showed their existence to the world!
Countless people had tears in their eyes, not knowing that they actually only had a few bronze jars, and that these people actually had no combat capabilities.
Even those who knew it had wisely chosen to shut up and just sighed in their hearts.
With just a few knights, let alone being unable to fight, even if they could, how could they fight against thousands of divine knights from the Han Dynasty?
Moreover, these people knew that the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty and the bronze jars in front of them were completely different things.
The divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty was tall and mighty, as quiet as a virgin and as dynamic as thunder.
Their armor is as smooth as a mirror in the sun, as dazzling as the sun, just like the weapons of gods in myths and legends, incomprehensible and speechless.
This is why they are called divine knights.
As for what’s in front of me…
At best, it can be considered the pinnacle of a mortal...
Compared with God, he is nothing short of a star!
The military ministers must have lost their minds... Some people were muttering in their hearts: "How can we fight the Han Dynasty with just these so-called divine cavalry?"
"It seems I have to be careful and retreat at any time..."
Many people were thinking in their hearts, and the lessons of the Mayi War emerged in their minds.
How did the Han Dynasty destroy and annihilate the southern invasion force led by Yin Zhixie?
The answer is that the divine cavalry retreated, cut off Yin Zhixie's retreat, and then encircled the Huns with a large army. The Huns cavalry in the encirclement were like fish trapped in low-lying ponds and grasslands after the flood season, and could only wait to die!
Although this time, the main force of the Huns came almost in full force, with a hundred thousand cavalry!
The Han Dynasty people probably didn’t have a big appetite to eat them all, but what if the Han Dynasty people really blocked the escape route and everyone was surrounded?
Some well-informed people had heard about the fate of the captured Hun nobles in the Battle of Mayi and the Battle of Gaoque.
Even the best King Lou Fan was just given a false name and raised in glory.
The other unlucky guys were all used as slaves and laborers to build bridges and pave roads for the Han Dynasty.
The former Gudu Marquis died on the construction site of the Han Dynasty. It is common for former tribal leaders to live in the same shack with their slaves.
Although, according to some gossip, many Xiongnu slaves are now living well in the Han Dynasty.
Especially Lou Fanren, the life is much better than when I was in Xiongnu.
but……
Those are slaves and herdsmen, not nobles!
In the eyes of the Han Dynasty, noble prisoners of war and slave prisoners of war had the same status. They were all prisoners of war! They all had to work!
Slaves who perform well can be promoted to regular jobs, and the same goes for nobles.
However, such fair treatment makes many people’s hair stand on end!
In fact, it was precisely because they heard about these things that these tribes did not immediately cry and defect to the Han Dynasty, nor did it happen that after the Donghu was defeated, all the tribes in the grassland fell to the Xiongnu overnight.
Because the Han Dynasty was too terrible for nobles like them!
Slaves and nobles are actually on the same starting line!
Moreover, even the surrendered tribal leader was only given a false title and wealth, and was not allowed to continue to dominate, let alone continue to manage and rule his own tribe and slaves.
Of course, the military ministers also knew that relying only on these few heavy armored cavalry, and they were just sluts, could not boost morale at all.
Therefore, after the cavalry demonstrated, he said to his tribal leaders: "My noble lords, I have received a gift from the God of Heaven. The God has given me a divine horse, which has enabled me to arm myself with a force that can rival
The army of the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty! Now, under the witness of all of you, this great army will sweep across the world!"
As the military officer spoke, he picked up a whistle and blew it hard.
Beep beep beep!
The crisp sound of the chime resounded throughout the whole place, and immediately, thousands of horses galloped and the earth shook.
A cavalry of several thousand people, riding tall horses, holding long lances in their hands, wearing light armor mixed with leather armor and bronze armor, came like a tide from the distant mountains.
A large banner is fluttering high, symbolizing the dragon flag of the Xiongnu Chanyu fluttering in the wind.
This is a red dragon flag!
Originally, the Xiongnu did not have colored banners, but when the military ministers used all the excellent war horses collected from Dawan, Wusun and their own country, they used their most elite royal guard knights to form this cavalry.
Later, a descendant of the Han Dynasty told him: "Great Chanyu, the Han Dynasty has the virtue of water, so the emperor of the Han Dynasty uses the black dragon flag as a symbol! Now if the Chanyu wants to defeat the Han Dynasty, he must not use the virtue of fire, and fire can overcome water.
And the fire is still red!”
After hearing this, the military officials felt that it made sense!
The Xiongnu now really need to defeat the Han Dynasty to maintain their status and rule.
No matter what method is used, as long as it can defeat the Han Dynasty, it is a good method!
This Red Dragon Banner became the official banner of the military officials!
The military minister ordered that all the royal banners in his royal court be changed to red!
The purpose is to tell the people of the Han Dynasty that I am not afraid of you, the black dragon, because I am the red dragon!
In this way, at least ideologically and verbally, we defeated the Han Dynasty, which is great!
This cavalry was what the military officials relied on to defeat the Han Dynasty in action.
Its riders are all elite warriors drawn from the royal court and the Xiongnu headquarters, especially from the headquarters of King Zuo Xian and King Zuo Guli.
Everyone is a warrior who has made meritorious service on the Western Expedition, and there are even many warriors who can equal one to ten.
And there is absolutely no problem with loyalty!
In addition, in terms of physique and height, these people are also the top of the Huns!
Almost everyone is almost seven feet tall. This is the tallest among the Huns. There is no way to help it. The Huns are born with short legs, which is also a problem of nomads. Many tribes are generally less than six feet seven inches tall...
But in this case, the number of people becomes a fatal injury.
Even if the military ministers were eclectic and selected more than 2,000 absolutely loyal and docile slaves from slaves and prisoners of war to add them, it would still be less than 5,000.
In addition, these people's war horses are also of various types.
There are Dawan horses, Wusun horses, and Xiongnu horses.
Of course, it is impossible for the military ministers to equip them with war horses according to their abilities. The warriors of the royal court, of course, ride the best Dawan horses. The elites of the headquarters can naturally only ride Wusun horses, and the slaves are only Huns.
The horse is ready to ride.
However, apart from these shortcomings, in the eyes of military officials, this cavalry is already the embodiment of perfection.
It is also the guarantee that he dares to go south this time!
The military officials believed that with this absolutely loyal and powerful cavalry, even if he encountered a group of divine cavalry from the Han Dynasty, he would still be unable to fight and could not defeat him, but he could still run away.
The speed of this cavalry is very fast, especially in short-distance bursts, surpassing the Huns and even the world.
Now, the military officials looked at these elites and said proudly to the others: "In the future, I will arm them all into divine cavalry. In this way, I, the Great Huns, will have the capital to compete with the Han Dynasty!
"
This is also the biggest motivation for the military officials to invade the south!
Because the military officials discovered that if they could not grab enough blacksmiths from the Han Dynasty, then he and the Xiongnu's divine cavalry might never appear!
Are you kidding me? It would take more than 3,000 people half a year to polish a set of unusable heavy armor...
If one hundred sets are produced, the Huns will go bankrupt!
Only by plundering blacksmiths and other craftsmen from the Han Dynasty could the Xiongnu stand up! (To be continued.)
