Chapter 718: Mo Nan (4)

Many times the Chinese nation is indeed much more ruthless and ruthless when treating the same race than the other race, that is a kind of thinking that does not know how to describe it, probably because it feels that the threat of the same race is far greater than that of the other race?

In fact, if Lu Zhe heard Hu Ren's description of the Chinese nation like that, he really didn't have anything to refute, and some people couldn't understand and describe things, but he could interpret them in detail.

It is nothing more than that the Hu people have only gone south to plunder for a long time, and they will run away after looting, and only under very special conditions can they enter the Central Plains, so it will make some ruling classes think that the Hu people are difficult to threaten themselves, but the competition of the same clan is not the kind of situation where they will leave if they plunder, and there has always been a situation where the same clan fights for the world without stopping, so it is natural to regard the threat of the same clan as the greatest.

But then again, for now...... That is, in the pre-Qin era, the ruling class had not yet formed the kind of "blind date and kill" thinking, before the countries competed with each other, once there was a foreign invasion, they would temporarily put aside the dispute, even if they did not unite to fight against the foreign race, they would not pull back, which was also one of the shining points of the pre-Qin period.

Therefore, the leader of the Hutu tribe can only say that he has a strong "forward-looking" statement, which is just a statement of the characteristics left by the unique dynasty, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a kind of prophecy. But...... How good can they be, when there is no foreign enemy, they are not killing each other for the pasture, and when they are faced with a dilemma, they are even more innumerable to rush to the strong.

In fact, any nation can only maintain unity under the leadership of an iron-fisted ruler, and without an iron-fisted ruler, no nation is much better.

Touman is not a wise ruler, he is not an iron-fisted ruler, and the reason why he can gather so many Hu people to go south is nothing more than profit.

The Xiongnu did not become strong under the rule of Touman, and even the defeat of the Yueshi people, the great enemy of the Xiongnu, did not have much to do with him. It was the Yueshi people who were first hit hard by the Qin army, lost the Heshuo territory, and lost their strength, and then the Xiongnu beat the water dogs to force the Yueshi to move westward.

In addition, it is not nonsense that the Yueshi is a more threatening enemy to the Qin State than the Xiongnu, before the Yueshi was defeated and went west, the Hetao and the north of Yinshan were all owned by the Yueshi people, and the Yueshi people had repeatedly tried to go south for a long time, and even attacked near Luoshui when they were the strictest, and how far was Luoshui from Liyang, the old capital of the Qin State? Only less than fifty miles.

The occupation of the Heshuo area by the Qin State was also a matter of about a hundred years, and the relocation of the capital was even more after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and the Qin State chose another address to build the capital Xianyang after the Shang Dynasty changed the law.

In the Hereafter. There are many people who don't understand why the Great Xia established by the Yue clan was hostile at the beginning when Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty went to contact him, and later became cold when he learned that Zhang Qian was the emperor who destroyed the Qin State, and then he had a little friendliness when he learned that Zhang Qian was to unite with the Yue clan to attack the Xiongnu together.

To tell the truth, the Yueshi people were defeated by the Qin Dynasty and suffered heavy losses before they were taken advantage of by the Xiongnu, how could they not be hostile to Zhang Qian, who looked no different from the Qin people? When Zhang Qian went to contact the Yueshi people, the Yueshi had moved west for nearly two hundred years, and it was not without thinking about returning to their homeland after they moved westward to re-establish the country, but they were repeatedly taught by the Xiongnu to the east how to behave. For the Yueshi people, going east to provoke the Huns is completely looking for abuse, which has been repeatedly proven, and it is more comfortable to go west to bully those soft-footed shrimp peoples.

Of course, the current Yueshi is still continuing to migrate westward. Behind the buttocks, there are also tribes belonging to the Xiongnu who are chasing and fighting, and they should still be fleeing to the area north of the Western Regions, and if there is no change in the historical development, they will also encounter the Wusun people, and then the army temporarily assembled by Wusun is another lesson. The wolf brode westward, desperately fleeing.

The Xiongnu have not yet occupied the Western Regions, so naturally there are no two parts of the east and west, that is, the left and right Xianwang departments established under the auspices of Mao Dun in the future. Still. So far, the eastern and western parts of the Xiongnu have had a prototype, and those Xiongnu tribes who are still pursuing the Yueshi people are the predecessors of the Youxian Wang Department in the future, and they are also the first to discover that there are so many soft-footed shrimp and miscellaneous beards that are easy to conquer in the Western Regions, and have found a direction that can be considered for the future expansion of the Xiongnu.

The Hu people who followed Touman to the south were the predecessors of most of the tribes under the establishment of King Zuoxian, such as the Aries tribe and the Barbarian tribe, while the Hutu tribe and the Kunxi tribe moved their tribes to the vicinity of the Western Regions later.

The Kunxi tribe was in a hurry to rush back to the grassland, and most of the men and horses walked at the forefront of the retreat, and when they arrived at the Han army, which was adapted from the Qin army, the characteristics of being nomads made them choose to pounce fiercely when they encountered the enemy, and found that the enemy army was several times smaller than their own.

More than 2,000 cavalry of the Kunxi tribe encountered 500 Han cavalry, it must be said that this Han cavalry was quite surprised when they found out that they encountered the Hu people.

The cavalry of the Kunxi tribe didn't know what they were going to face at all, they thought it was the Chinese army that would dismount and fight when they rode across the war horse to a certain distance, and the result was that they took the lead in dismounting and preparing to shoot arrows, but when they opened their bows and arrows, they found that the Han army had no intention of reducing the speed of their horses and dismounting.

Only some of the Han cavalry who raised the speed were shot by the Qi army's standard hard bow before they fell off their horses, and the rest of the soldiers who were shot by the horn bow were only slightly injured and not fatal because they were wearing leather armor.

The Hu people only shot an arrow and hurriedly climbed on the horseback to escape, the Han army was to complete the acceleration state and charged, when the Han cavalry cavalry was launched when the crossbow was launched, a burst of buzzing arrows accompanied by the screams of the Hu people who had just climbed on the horseback, and in an instant there should have been nearly 200 Hu people who were shot to the ground.

In the cavalry battle, the fast side has an absolute advantage, the cavalry without speed is a little inferior to the infantry, the Hu people are dismounted and climbed back on the horse in a hurry, they need a certain amount of time to speed up, but how can the Han cavalry adapted from the Qin army let go of that rare opportunity?

In the sound of the roaring horses' hooves, the knights of the Han army who wore red robes on horseback, wore leather armor outside, abandoned the crossbow and replaced the horse chopping knife, charged silently, the first cavalry Han army did not need to swing the knife when it caught up with the Hu people, only needed to cross the horse chopping knife to kill and injure the enemy, the blade of the horse chopping knife he crossed out was in the waist of the Hu man in the galloping inertia of the war horse, and after the sudden passage was a sound of friction between the blade and the flesh, and then the ribs of the Hu man's waist to the spine were cut by the high-speed galloping horse chopping knife, When Hu Ren died, his body was almost cut in two, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

More Han cavalry galloped forward, and in an instant, the sharp blades touched their bodies, the iron swords and bronze short swords collided, and all kinds of sounds and horses' hooves stomped on the ground.

The effect of riding a horse with stirrups and without stirrups is very obvious, even if the Hu people who have been with the war horse since childhood have exercised a good sense of balance, they will never be able to do all kinds of actions like the stirrup borrowed by the Han army without the help of the stirrup, and the guy in their hands is only about fifty centimeters of the sword, the length is nearly thirty centimeters shorter than the long-handled saber of the Han cavalry, and because the war horse has not completely increased the speed, how can it not suffer everywhere after the battle.

After this separation, the Han army made a small detour, and soon rushed straight towards the Hu people of the Kunxi tribe who still had not completed the acceleration of the war horse.

This time, they still put the chopping knife back into the leather bag hanging on the side of the horse's neck, and they held the crossbow in their hands, and when they were close to the range, there was a burst of "Xiu Xiu", and when the arrow fell, it was the Hu people who screamed and fell off their horses.

The second hand-to-hand battle did not last long, that is, the Hu people of the Kun Evil Department finally completed the acceleration, and the war horses under the seat of the Han army, which had galloped with all their might, had slowed down a little, and gradually began to lag behind the Hu cavalry.

There is also such a scene on the battlefield, the Han army has stirrups to borrow the power in the galloping process and the process of fighting, unless it is a heavy injury, otherwise it does not fall off the horse, the Hu people because they do not have stirrups, many of them fall off the horse because of the action when they are not attacked.

In the field of cavalry combat, once they fall off the horse's back, even if no one deliberately attacks, the huge horse's hooves will kill them.

Until the two sides were completely separated, there were nearly 400 people left in the 500 Han army, and the number of 2,000 Hu people of the Kunxi tribe who were still riding on horseback was less than 800 people, and between the brief swords and swords, the place where the horse's hooves stepped on was in addition to the soil on the ground became soft, and the corpses of the tragic deaths were nested on the ground in various strange postures, and some of the war horses that had lost their owners stopped in place and stepped on their hooves, some of the war horses were grazing, and more war horses were because the war dead were dragged by the reins with the guide zhì The broken corpses were sliding, So much so that the originally cyan grass was pulled out of long scarlet lines.

It was not a long time, but after a short confrontation, the Kun Evil Tribe was finished with more than 1,200 people, and the direct result was that these Hu people fled the scene with frightened expressions and desperately slapped their horses' buttocks without looking back.

The four hundred Han troops naturally cleaned up the battlefield, not only picking up stirrups, horseshoes and other things, but also collecting the horses that had lost their owners, but also taking out blankets to wrap the corpses of the robes that died in battle, and placing the remains of their comrades on the back of unridden horses before leaving.
