One thousand five hundred and forty-one The last King Linhu 2
"Captain, please let me and other Xianbei warriors be the vanguard!"
"No! I, Warrior Wu Heng, have just been able to possess this skill!"
As soon as Chen Xu finished speaking, Xianbei Hou Qiu Keju and Wuheng Hou Wuwan almost started fighting.
For the Wuheng and Xianbei people, being able to accompany Chen Xu on this expedition is likely to be a key turning point in the future destiny of these two tribes.
Will he continue to be regarded as a "barbarian barbarian who was expelled from a foreign barren land", or will he be accepted and recognized by the Han people like the Yi people and get the key Han household registration book?
Destiny depends on your contribution in this battle!
Especially for Karasuma and Qiu Kegu, they made a pilgrimage to Chang'an in the sixth year of Yuande and witnessed the prosperity of Chang'an and the wealthy life of Chang'an nobles.
From then on, the two of them dreamed of going to Chang'an and becoming a real nobleman of the Han Dynasty.
Chen Xu looked at Qiu Kegu and Wuwan and nodded in his mind. The purpose of bringing the Wuheng people and Xianbei people was to make them cannon fodder.
Now, they have jumped out to grab this job.
How could Chen Xu have any reason to disapprove?
"Then I'll bother you two gentlemen..." Chen Xugong cupped his hands and said.
When Wuwan and Qiu Kegu heard this, they were overjoyed, especially Qiu Kegu. He immediately rode his horse back to the formation with a roar, shouting to his cavalry: "Xianbei warriors, the time has come to make a contribution!"
When more than a thousand Xianbei cavalry heard this, their faces turned red, their fighting spirit was high, and their chests were as excited as boiling lava!
Military merit was the most important thing in the Han Dynasty, and being rewarded for military merit was very motivating!
Under the current Han military merit system, as long as one head is cut off on the battlefield, it is basically equivalent to the entire income of a Xianbei herdsman for a year of hard work!
Not to mention, after defeating the enemy, you can vent your willfulness and squander the willfulness of the winner!
If you perform well on the battlefield, win the favor of a big shot in the Han Dynasty, and become a retainer or soldier, it will be even more profitable!
Therefore, the Xianbei cavalry immediately rushed out like a tide.
Then, the Wuheng cavalry followed closely.
The two opened up a wavy line of killing on the battlefield.
As servants of the Han army, the Xianbei and Wuheng people were not allowed to possess overly advanced weapons and equipment.
But, basic equipment.
For example, the leather armor, saber and horned bow are all complete.
Therefore, the power of charging is still very beautiful.
At least, after seeing the charging cavalry, the Linhu people immediately organized a team of more than a thousand archers and hundreds of spear throwers behind their own cavalry array.
It is hoped that long-range firepower can be used to slightly delay and deter the enemy's charging momentum.
Under the banner of the generals of the Han army, Chen Xu and officers above Sima held telescopes and carefully observed the battlefield.
From Chen Xu's perspective, Lin Huren reacted in a panic at this moment.
Behind their cavalry array, there was still a lot of chaos.
Seeing this, Chen Xu shook his head: "I heard that the ancestors of the Linhu people were once enemies of Li Mu, and even narrowly defeated Li Mu's army... I didn't expect that they have fallen to this level now!"
Lin Huren's performance so far has failed him.
When encountering the enemy, the reaction was chaotic and the organization was disorganized, that's all.
When faced with a surprise attack, they only thought about defending the front line and did not consider the issue of attack.
This is completely zero points!
Cavalry, cavalry, clutch soldiers!
Only when you are mobile and active can you be a deterrent!
What's the difference between riding a horse and staying still, and waiting to die?
However, what Chen Xu didn't know was that Lin Hu actually had no capital to maneuver at all.
Since the Huns fled north, most of the essence and resources in the Munan region went with the Huns who fled north.
All that was left to the various ministries in Makunan was scrap metal.
Therefore, even now, even the Western Huns know how to install bronze horseshoes, saddles and stirrups on their cavalry.
But the Linhu people are still the same as in the past, riding horses without saddles and horseshoes, relying on their legs and reins to drive the horses.
In other words, having stirrups made it easier for them to control their horses.
Of course, the Linhu people wanted to do it very much. They also equipped themselves with horseshoes and saddles, and used sabers and horned bows.
But the problem is - they don't have the resources.
Even after obtaining a large amount of resources from Han Dynasty merchants through trade, they still did not have the capital to play full bronze cavalry.
The lack of horseshoes meant that the Linhu cavalry could not escape the pursuit of the Han army's light cavalry.
Therefore, Lin Hu people are also helpless...
"Ancestors! The elves of the forest..." Dan Linzhe looked at the Xianbei and Wuheng cavalry rushing toward him, gritted his teeth, and prayed in his heart: "Please protect the descendants of the Danlin people..."
Then, he raised the weapon in his hand - a meteor hammer, and then looked at the soldiers around him.
These soldiers were obviously frightened by the power of the Han cavalry, or they were frightened by the myth about the invincibility of the Han cavalry.
After all, the entire grassland now has a consensus - Han cavalry is invincible if there are less than ten thousand Han cavalry!
The Battle of Mayi, the Battle of Gaoque, and the Battle of Yanji. When the Xiongnu Empire was at its peak, it tried its best and used all its power to seek a battle with the Han Dynasty in order to change its strategic disadvantage.
.
As a result, every loss was worse than the last.
In the end, even Shanyu joined in!
Every defeat of the Huns puts a big question mark and exclamation mark in the hearts of all nomads and all people who lead the way.
Everyone was frightened by the fighting power and tenacity of the Han cavalry.
During the Battle of Gaoque, there was even a terrible story about a Han cavalry group that was killed in battle but still fought tenaciously.
To this day, all grassland ministries, from top to bottom, have reached a psychological consensus: no one can defeat the Han Dynasty!
In such a mood, all tribes lacked confidence when facing the Han Dynasty and were timid before fighting.
Just like him, when he heard that the emperor of the Han Dynasty wanted to organize the people into households, he immediately led his tribe to move eastward, trying to find a paradise that the Han Dynasty people could not find to rest and recuperate and wait for the future.
But I didn't expect that the Han Dynasty people had already planned to move eastward, which would be like throwing themselves into a trap.
He knew that now was not the time to be upset.
He must now do everything possible to boost morale and make his soldiers believe that the Han Dynasty can be defeated.
If he could not change the minds of his subordinates, then Dan Linzhe had no doubt that today the river would be dyed red with the blood of the Linhu people.
The corpses of Linhu people will block the river!
He raised the meteor hammer in his hand and said loudly: "Warriors of Linhu, great sons of the forest, please look at me, Dan Linzhe of the Danlin clan, the contemporary King Linhu!"
"We are all people who lead the bow... Our ancestors have separated from the farming community a thousand years ago, even two thousand years ago, three thousand years ago..."
"We believe in gods and ancestors, and we believe that everything has animism!"
"We were sent to the left, we ate cheese, wore furs for clothing, and lived in pursuit of water and grass!"
"We have no writing, no laws, no penalties..."
"Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty once made an agreement with the leader of the Xiongnu, the Chanyu, who was the co-leader of all the bow-drawing people: Within the Great Wall, the emperor would rule the room with the crown and bow; outside the Great Wall, the bow-drawing people would be governed by the Chanyu!
"
"This great agreement divides the two worlds!"
"One is inside the Great Wall, the room with the crown, and the other is outside the Great Wall, the nomadic people!"
"But the people of the Han Dynasty were greedy and blatantly broke this sacred agreement!"
“The Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered his officials to organize all of us, the people who led the way, into households and settle in designated areas. He would not allow us to graze freely, nor would we allow our descendants to grow up on the backs of sheep and horses!
"
"The emperor of the Han Dynasty also asked his officials to destroy the altar of the gods worshiped by the shamans, and prohibited the worship of the gods!"
"They don't even allow us to sacrifice slaves to the gods!"
"The ancestors and gods cannot get the flesh and blood sacrifice of slaves! I can hear their angry roars under the Nine Springs every night!"
"Warriors, we are now facing the enemy of all people who lead the bow! An enemy who wants to destroy our lives, enslave and control us, prevent us from being nomadic, and deny us freedom - these enemies who claim to be justice and truth
Messenger’s man!”
"Warriors!" Dan Lin looked at his soldiers, his army, and asked loudly: "What should we do with such people?"
"Kill them all!" Suddenly, the entire Lin Hu array erupted with a thundering roar.
For the ignorant and backward nomads, in fact, the outcome of the war has nothing to do with them.
It's just a matter of changing the master.
In short, no matter how bad it is, it can't be any worse.
But that’s different now!
Damn the Han Dynasty people, they don’t allow us to graze?
So what do we eat?
These evil Han Dynasty people actually forbid us from performing sacrifices to gods and ancestors? They also forbid us from using human sacrifices?
This is simply too evil!
Many people can't even understand this!
At this moment, the Xianbei cavalry and Wuheng cavalry were only a few hundred steps away from Linhu's main formation.
Dan Linzhe immediately waved the meteor hammer and shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Kill them all!"
"Wow!"
The Linhu cavalry suddenly showed their terrifying potential, and they directly faced the Xianbei cavalry and Wuheng cavalry that rushed over.
The Linhu people were backward in equipment and tactics.
but……
Their will has not fallen behind in the slightest.
On the contrary, the Wuheng people and Xianbei people have a too relaxed mentality.
In their eyes, what they have to face is just a ragtag group of miscellaneous troops.
Such opponents have never considered failure at all.
There are even many people who are already in yy and feel happy after winning.
However, yy time is over.
The Linhu people seemed to be crazy and collided directly with the incoming Wuheng cavalry and Xianbei cavalry.
This collision immediately made Xianbei and Wu Heng's hearts tremble with fear.
