"The other Wanqi group that was identified is the Wanqi group directly under the command of Captain Zuo of the Xiongnu, and it is known as 'Forced Fall'..." Yi Zong took the information and asked: "Does anyone know the meaning of the word 'Forced Fall'?
?”
After having the experience of Xu Huan's army, Yi Zong no longer dared to look down on these Huns Wanqi who spoke incomprehensibly.
Maybe, this is also an elite force!
When the generals heard this, they all shook their heads.
They were not Dahonglu officials and did not know much about the Xiongnu language.
Fortunately, for this march, the Loufan Army also sent several officers as liaison officers.
Yi Zong then sent someone to summon the Loufan officers and asked: "What does 'forced to fall' mean in the Xiongnu language?"
The officers on the floor looked at each other, and finally, a rather sturdy officer bowed and said, "General, this cavalry uses a skull as its flag?"
Yi Zong nodded and said: "Exactly? Why...is this skeleton related to 'Forced Fall'?"
When the officer heard this, his expression changed and he said: "Reporting this to the general has a lot to do with it..."
"Those who are 'forced to fall' are tombs and sealed to the ground!" He said sternly: "This must be the direct subordinate of the Xiongnu Zuo Commandery Lieutenant Wanqi!"
"Indeed!" Yi Zong looked at the book in his hand that was full of various Huns' scrolls and said, "Please, strong man, help us clear up our doubts!"
The officer bowed and said, "Don't dare! The last general will know everything and say everything!"
"The last general, who used to be in the Huns, was a slave in Loufan. He knows very little about the affairs of the upper class. However, this 'forced down' is the most feared horse by the last general and the herdsmen and herdsmen of other tribes!"
He said with lingering fear: "General, you must know that the Huns use shamanism as their state religion, and most of the nobles believe in shamanism!"
Yi Zong nodded. The Han family also had specialized institutions to study and analyze the Huns' religion.
In the end, we came to the conclusion that this is a cult that is anti-human and anti-moral without any mercy.
The teachings of shamanism are primitive and barbaric. They sacrifice human beings, use women, children and babies as sacrifices, and use human skin and bones as magical tools.
The senior officials of the Han family couldn't even figure out how this kind of religion, which had been extinct for thousands of years in China and was even more barbaric and ignorant than the Yue people's shaman gods and the southern witchcraft belief, could flourish among the Huns.
Why didn't the Huns resist?
Anyway, it is difficult for the nobles and scholar-bureaucrats of the Han family to understand this kind of thing.
Since Ximen Leopard, any belief or religion that dares to use humans as sacrifices has been severely cracked down by the government and regarded as obscene sacrifices, and will be destroyed if found.
"Strong man, please continue..." Yi Zong opened his hand and said.
"This force has a nickname among the Xiongnu. Everyone knows it. All tribes call it 'Vampire' or 'Ghost Rider'..."
As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen Han generals stood up immediately.
The Han army didn't know about forced surrender or anything like that.
However, the name of "Ghost Rider" became famous in the world after the emperor redeemed a large number of his abducted subjects and compatriots in the fourth year of Yuan De.
Based on the narratives and recollections of countless redeemed compatriots.
In the Huns, what they feared most was never the whips of the nobles and the oppression of the Huns.
But a ghost rider.
If the ghost rides out, the family will be destroyed and everyone will die.
This is an army specifically looking for sacrifices and magical artifacts for the Xiongnu shamans and nobles.
Their hands were stained with the blood and blood tears of their Han compatriots.
Now, the Han Dynasty has confirmed that at least four of the more than ten cities massacred by the Huns in the past sixty years were caused by this ghost horse.
Their combat effectiveness and fighting qualities may not be that strong among the Xiongnu.
But what they did was the bloodiest, craziest, and vicious among the Xiongnu tribes, and it was also the most unacceptable to the Han people.
The emperor once issued an edict to the Xiongnu ghost cavalry, but not to keep any prisoners, but to kill them all!
And this order, even the former Lu Ru, once sung and praised it.
An order of extermination can be agreed upon by Lu Ru, who is known as the Holy Mother.
You can imagine how bad the reputation of this ghost horse among Han scholar-officials and public opinion circles has become!
It is no exaggeration to say that the Ghost Riders are the current Nazi SS, Unit 731.
What they did was enough to make people and gods angry. Even if they poured water from the East China Sea and wiped out the bamboos from the Southern Mountains, it would still be difficult to punish them!
One of the most unacceptable things for people is that these ghost knights once dug 1,351 ancestral graves of Han people in Taiyuan, opened the coffins of their buried ancestors and even the sages, and desecrated their ancestors. His corpse was made into a magical weapon.
They even scalped 121 Han babies, women and children in Huizhong Palace and made a musical instrument similar to a drum.
This army, this Huns cavalry, has undoubtedly been on the must-kill list of Han scholar-officials and nobles, and even the world.
Not only the emperor, but even Lu Ru felt that killing them all when they met was the best way to show justice to the late king!
Yi Zong also drew out the sword from his waist and swore: "I swear to God that I will never let a cavalryman go back!"
"My general order! Whenever you encounter cavalry who are 'forced to surrender', you must eradicate them!"
"promise!"
All the officers bowed in obeisance: "I obey the general's orders, and I will eradicate the weeds!"
Such enemies are not only the enemies of the Han army, but also the enemies of the world and the enemies of mankind. If they do not kill them all, they will be sorry for the compatriots and ancestors who died tragically in their hands, and even their bones will be desecrated. I'm sorry for the teachings of the three kings and the earnest teachings of the sages, and I'm even more sorry for the education I have received since childhood.
In China, Wu Zixu whipped King Ping of Chu to death in revenge, and was scolded for hundreds of years.
An army like the forced cavalry or the ghost cavalry will definitely die and their bones will be reduced to ashes.
This is also the most direct influence of the contemporary thought of great revenge.
If you slap me once, I will definitely slap you back with more than two slaps.
Tooth for tooth, blood for blood.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
Yi Zong raised his hand and asked simply: "You heroes are still in the Xiongnu, have you ever heard of an army with a crow as its flag?"
The officers on the floor looked at each other.
They used to be at the lower level in the grassland. Even the one who was mixed up was just a herdsman and didn't know much about the things at the top.
Zhao Meng seemed to have remembered something, and went out to pay homage: "Reporting to the general, I seem to have heard a story before..."
"It is said... that when the old Shanyu of the Huns came to the throne, there were flashes of swords and blood, and he almost fell into the trap of his political opponents. Fortunately, a crow flew to the old Shanyu's shoulder. The old Shanyu So he was alert and returned to the army in time to avoid being attacked and killed. Therefore, the old superior Shanyu thought that the crow was a sacred bird, so he ordered his confidant King Biyu to select five thousand cavalry from each tribe as his direct subordinate Ten Thousand Cavalry. , whose banner is crow, and its name is Black Crow Cavalry..." Zhao Meng said: "However, these are all rumors and legends, and the general cannot be sure..."
Yi Zong heard the words and nodded.
For the Han Dynasty, the enemy of the Xiongnu was relatively well understood by the Makunan tribe.
But very little is known about the tribes in Mubei and the Western Regions.
Now, it's pretty good to be able to figure out most of the situation of the enemy opposite you.
He bowed his hands to the officers upstairs and said, "Thank you very much, gentlemen!"
Then, he walked to the big tent, pointed to the sand table in the center and said: "In addition to these three known horses, the scouts also discovered a large number of Xiongnu livestock camps in the area north of the fortress... Keep it safe
It is estimated that there are at least 200,000 livestock..."
"In my opinion, the Huns are probably preparing to withdraw..."
This is also the only reasonable explanation now.
Otherwise, how could there be so many Huns cavalry and so many livestock here?
Moreover, it is not difficult to guess that the Huns are going to escape.
It was even one of the predictions Yi Zong made on the march.
However, there are still differences.
At the beginning, Yi Zong's assumption was that the Huns would choose a place to retreat after discovering their intention to penetrate.
But the fact now is that the Huns had already started withdrawing their troops at least a few days ago.
He ran headlong into this Hun's sensitive spot, poking a hornet's nest.
It can be predicted that the Huns are now extremely angry and their main force is coming towards Yi Zong.
Obviously, Yi Zong knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.
At least, we can't go head-to-head with the main force of the Huns here. (~^~)
