An hour later, the generals and soldiers of the northern and southern armies and Yunzhong County all opened their mouths and looked at the cavalry slowly returning from the distant plain in amazement.

This ride is like a heavenly soldier who has come to reality from myths and legends.

"We finally understand, why spend so much money to build a ......" The captain of the Southern Army sighed: "Just this appearance, this momentum, is already worth it!" ”

Yi Zong smiled beside him.

Yu Lin Wei and Hu Ben Wei, from the day they were equipped with the cuirass, they already knew that this cuirassier was the most important thing.

Therefore, over the years, the generals up and down, every day, the first thing they do is to think about how to make the cavalry under their command look more powerful.

To this end, they reformed the old Han army helmet, so that the helmet worn by the cuirassiers was taller, and in order to highlight the majestic momentum, some people even began to try to tie the feathers on the helmet more tall and bright.

In the Tiger Guard, the cuirass is painted and the armor is colored to make it more visible and prominent.

This in other troops, undoubtedly looking for death!

This makes it easier for enemies to hit and find their side.

But cuirassiers, by nature, are cavalry that are meant to rise to the occasion and storm the center of the enemy's strongest, most powerful and most fearsome array.

They are the axes that open the way, the long knives that cut through the thorns, and the drills that cut through the mountains.

It is the arrow of the whole army and the messenger of victory.

It is destined to tear and crush all enemies to pieces.

In this way, highlight your presence and increase your momentum. Make people more attentive and nervous.

It's necessary.

Moreover, the charge of the cuirassiers. It is different from the charge of all active cavalry in the world today.

They are calm mountains. Inverted tides and avalanches of hills.

"It's not just momentum and appearance...... Sima from Yunzhong County sighed: "I really can't imagine such a cluster, what else can stop them from moving forward!" ”

During the exercise, Hu Benwei and Yu Linwei showed their most basic combat tactics to all the soldiers and generals present.

It's their most common frontal roll.

No matter how many enemies there are, I am free to overwhelm and run over.

If you can stop it, you will die, and if you can't stop it, you will die!

The cuirassier knight of the Han army, eight feet one inch tall. The reach is all over eight feet.

Its main weapon is a cavalry spear that is one foot long.

When they charged, flat-ended spears, the kinetic energy was powerful enough to skewer all the creatures in front of them into a kebab.

What's more, some smart people found that these cavalrymen also carried a saber on their backs.

This is a saber that everyone has never seen before.

Because it is smaller than all the Han army sabers in service, but it is also more deadly.

Because they're scimitars!

In the drill of the party. Although these cavalrymen did not show how to use these sabers.

But, as long as anyone who is not stupid can guess.

At the first stage of the charge, these cavalrymen broke up the enemy's formation with neat formations and mounted guns. Tear apart the enemy's defenses.

Then, they will use their formation advantage and extremely powerful defense, and use those sabers. Like chopping melons and vegetables, the enemies who are embarrassed and weeping are scattered. One by one, they were chopped into puree.

Simple, brutal and straightforward, but very effective.

However. This is just a façade that is unfolding before everyone's eyes.

Yi Zong knew very well that Yu Lin Wei and Hu Ben Wei spent a lot of money to concentrate the best and best soldiers to create these two thousand cuirassiers.

They are not just tall and well-equipped.

Discipline and one-man coordination are what make them really powerful and fatal.

Each of these two thousand people has a very deep tacit understanding with other people.

It's as if they're machines of great precision.

Each individual is a part of the machine.

This allows them to fight in any environment and in any conditions.

Even if the battle is fought to the last horse, as long as the order for the Chinese army to withdraw troops is not issued, it will still continue to fight.

In the same way, even if the enemy has collapsed, the wolf rushes to the dolphin, and the order to collect the troops will immediately turn to retreat.

It is precisely because of such discipline and coordination that cuirassiers are invincible cavalry.

There is no discipline and coordination, no unity.

Yi Zong felt that the so-called cuirassiers were likely to be played to death on the battlefield.

So......

"In the whole world, only my Han family can afford such a strong soldier!" Yi Zong sighed in his heart.

Except for the Han Dynasty, the entire known world does not exist, and there is no second country that can train cuirassiers.

I want to make the cuirassiers, forming combat effectiveness.

Then, we need a small government that can mobilize tens of thousands of resources at any time, and we need a country with a territory of tens of thousands of miles, a population of tens of millions, and a country that can select enough qualified soldiers from them.

More importantly, a complete military system, a systematic civilized nation, is also needed.

There is a Mohist who is inventing and creating, adjusting and improving equipment according to the feedback of the army, there is a Legalist, formulating laws, mobilizing the people, there is a soldier, establishing military law, educating soldiers, and even there is a Confucianism to popularize knowledge and enlighten the people.

Without these, even if the equipment of the cuirassiers is thrown at them, will they maintain it? Will it be used? Can you afford it?

The answer is all no.

Only the advanced degree of civilization and the strength of the country can reach the level of the Han Dynasty.

It is possible to use and equip the cuirass.

Therefore, the strength and invincibility of this cuirassier does not lie in the equipment on the cavalry and their skills and tactics.

On the whole, the Han state and nation have been far away from all competitors in the surrounding area.

More than 1,000 years ago, the Zhou people proudly declared the world: the beauty of uniforms is called Hua, and the great etiquette is for summer.

Today, it is a Han family that has inherited the legacies and systems of three generations of kings. It is already possible to proudly declare the world again: the beauty of civilization is called Hua, and the greatness of the system is summer.

Reproduce the great cause of Zong Zhou to let the eight desolations and six countries come to the four provinces!

Let China be the real sense of the word again. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the **** kingdom of the king's ministers!

Think of it this way. Yizong is a little excited.

He understood that today, he led the army to fight against the Xiongnu, which was the first step to rejuvenate China and let Zhuxia dominate the world again.

"Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor is above, and the boy will be the head of the captive to offer His Majesty's spirit!"

Yi Zong swore in his heart.

Then he gave the order: "The whole army camps early tomorrow morning." Pull out the camp and go north, sneak Wuzhou! ”

The mission of the army he commanded, which was close to 10,000 cavalry, was to lurk in the deep valley near Wuzhou Sai, take the opportunity to move, and lock the invading Xiongnu under the city of Mayi, so that they would all perish in the wrath of the Han army!

…………………………………………………………

At the same time, in Wuzhou, which is hundreds of miles away from Gaonu.

Something was not quite right in the atmosphere.

Stationed here was a Sima of the Han Army.

According to the system, originally, the Han army should have stationed a complete qu here.

But. As the relationship between Han and Hungary has improved in recent years, especially the Xiongnu tribes in Hetao, they have begun to reduce their incursions on the Han border and the Great Wall.

As a result, many of the temporary posts and beacons on the border were removed.

The strength of the border fortresses in many prominent areas. It is also greatly reduced.

The Han army chose to recycle its forces.

First, reduce consumption.

After all, far from the Great Wall. Garrisoning the army is just a supply. It's very difficult, and it's dangerous.

Two. The soldiers were also unwilling, hanging alone, exposed to the wind and sun.

Compared with the hardships of living outside the Great Wall, the bustling world and peaceful atmosphere inside the Great Wall are undoubtedly more popular.

Therefore, the garrison strength in this Wuzhou Seri has also fallen from the peak of 500 people after the invasion of the Xiongnu five years ago to only one tun and about 200 people today.

Of the 200 people, there were dozens of criminals and convicts who had come here with the army.

Farming, this is the innate talent of the Zhuxia people.

Since ancient times, even in the most dangerous times.

The Zhuxia people have not stopped farming.

Farming in the tun area can not only reduce the logistical pressure, but also make the local climate and environment more favorable to the local soldiers.

But now, the garrison of Wuzhou Sai has clearly smelled some unusual danger signals.

"A caravan that left the fortress three days ago has not returned to the ......" In the Saiwei Yamen of Wuzhou Sai, Wuzhou Wei Tian Fen stared at the map in front of him and the information gathered by all parties, and fell into deep contemplation.

"Two days ago, I sent out a patrol, and there is no news back......

"Yesterday, I personally led people out of Wuzhou Mountain, twenty miles forward, and I didn't even see a single cow or sheep!"

This information, in his mind, was connected one by one.

The caravan's overdue return can also be understood as a temporary incident, and the disappearance of the soldiers who went out to patrol and guard is enough to alert him.

And when he went out of the plug in person, he couldn't even see a single cow or sheep.

There is only one thing to say - the Huns, just around.

Moreover, not one or two, not one hundred and two hundred.

At least, it was an established main Xiongnu tribe, lurking outside Wuzhou, eyeing the tiger.

As a qualified professional soldier, he began evacuating the people of Wuzhou Seri yesterday.

In addition to the soldiers, prisoners, and criminals, hundreds of people who originally lived in Wuzhou Sene had been ordered by him to retreat to the safer city of Mayi.

They were accompanied by a dozen soldiers from the Cypriots.

These soldiers are all brothers under his command, or they are the only ones in the family.

This is also a tradition of the Han army.

This can avoid the possibility of some families dying or collapsing in an instant once the Xiongnu invaded.

After sending those people away, Tian Fen's subordinates, including the convicts and soldiers, added up to only about one hundred and fifty people.

From now on, Tian Fen is very clear that he has two things to consider.

First, he was loyal to his duties and completed the task assigned to him by the Son of Heaven and Shangguan - guarding Wuzhou Sai and giving early warning to Mayi and Yanmen.

He had to hold out here until he found the Huns and lit a beacon fire. The moment of the warning.

Then, it's his second mission.

As the supreme military governor of this Wuzhou Sai. He had to consider the lives of his men.

Suppose the Xiongnu really invaded in a big way.

So. With the power of Wuzhou Sai, it is impossible to stop and cannot stop the torrent of iron cavalry of the Huns.

How to save the lives of his comrades and siblings to the greatest extent, so that they can live, live until after the war, live to marry a wife and have children, and pass on the ancestry.

"Your Excellency!"

When Tian Fen was thinking, the voice of an immature young soldier came from outside the door, and then, a weak young man. And he threw himself into his arms.

"Jian'er, why are you here?" When Tian Fen saw it, he immediately became nervous: "Didn't my father tell you to listen carefully to Mr. in Mayi City, study hard, and go to Chang'an to take the examination in the future, glorify your ancestors, and glorify the lintel of my Tian family?" ”

At this moment of crisis, Tian Fen is the last thing he wants to see. It was the arrival of his own son.

Tian Fen was born in Guanzhong.

His family is even famous in Guanzhong.

His family is the Chang'an Tian clan, which is known as the first powerful in Guanzhong.

The Tian family, although there has never been any big names.

But. But he started by doing things for Shaofu and kneeling and licking Taizong and prospered.

With the support of the Liu royal family, the Tian family's power quickly expanded. The influence is also all over Guanzhong.

But Tian Fen has already been expelled from the door wall by the Tian family.

The reason is that he married a woman who should not have been married.

His wife was the backer of the Tian family back then. Deng Tong's niece.

Originally, this family affair. The Tian family is happy to see it and thinks it has been earned.

However, the will of heaven made people, Taizong died, the first emperor ascended the throne, Deng Tong quickly collapsed, and was even beaten into the ranks of traitors.

He, the son-in-law of the Deng family, was naturally implicated.

Originally, if he chose to merge and separate, then he would still be the son of the Tian family.

But, he didn't want to.

How can a husband be so selfish?

He decisively refused the family's request, took his wife and son, away from Guanzhong, came to the foot of the Great Wall, and settled in Mayi City.

Subsequently, because of his well-informed and strong body, he was favored by the county commander of Mayi County and appointed as the lieutenant of Wuzhou.

In Tian Fen's heart, there is no doubt that the most important thing is his son and wife.

Even if he has to pay for his life, he will protect his wife and children!

Therefore, the sudden arrival of his son immediately caused him to be in turmoil.

"Guards!" Tian Fen got up and shouted.

Immediately, two soldiers walked in and said, "What is the Captain's send?" ”

"Wait until you prepare the carriage and horses immediately, and send this son back to Mayi City!" Tian Fen said solemnly.

Tian Fen was well aware that the Huns might attack at any time.

Even, maybe in the next moment, outside Wuzhou, it will be occupied by the cavalry of the Huns.

Under such circumstances, he was ready to die for his country.

However, he didn't want his son to die with him.

Tian Fen touched his son's head and said, "My son, listen to your father, go back, take care of your mother, don't be as naughty as in the past!" ”

Tian Jian is just a twelve or thirteen-year-old immature boy, and his world is still innocent and carefree.

He clearly didn't understand what his father meant.

He pouted, dissatisfied with his father's decision.

"My lord, I finally got my mother's permission to take Nie Dalang's carriage and horse to meet the adults here, why should the adults drive the boy away as soon as they meet?"

"Nie Dalang?" When Tian Fen heard this, he was alarmed in his heart: "But Nie Yi? ”

Nie Yi is Xiao Tianjian's classmate and neighbor.

But the Nie family, Tian Fen knows.

This is not a simple commodity!

What their family does is do what they do!

The adultery of the cadre, the so-called Ganlan, is actually a violation of the law, secretly dealing with the Xiongnu, and even smuggling is expressly forbidden to sell the goods of the Xiongnu.

For example, iron, ordnance, and bronze.

The Nie family took advantage of this to become the richest man in Mayi, and he was as rich as a hundred servants!

In the past, in peacetime, Tian Fen could still turn a blind eye.

After all, the Nie family does this business, of course, there is an umbrella.

He was a small lieutenant, whose rank was no more than a hundred stones, and he was unable and powerless to stop the other party's behavior.

However, at such a sensitive time as now.

But the Nie family appeared in this Wuzhou Senei?

What does this mean?

Tian Fen immediately ordered the two soldiers: "Take Tian Jian to Ma Yi immediately, and then order the door to be closed, prepare wolf smoke, and be ready to light a fire at any time!" ”

As a former child of the Guanzhong Tian family, Tian Fen was trained by his family in the direction of the lieutenant and the lieutenant since he was a child.

Of course, he knew very well that in the past history, the loss of Mayi and even Yanmen, nine times out of ten, was the second or fifth boy in the city.

Even, there were traitors who echoed with the Huns, hiding from the front posts including Wuzhou Sai, so that the Hun army could appear unexpectedly in Mayi and even Yanmen Pass! (To be continued.) )
