Destiny Only Han

Chapter 562 Liu Ying: If you want to fight, fight!
Yunzhong County, at the southern foot of Daqing Mountain.

This is the middle section of the Yinshan Mountains. The mountains extend in an east-west direction. The north slope is relatively gentle, while the south slope is relatively steep, making the south and north of the mountain form two completely different worlds.

When the north of the mountain is still covered with snow, the south of Daqing Mountain is already full of greenery, and some unknown wild flowers poke out their heads from the ground, swaying with the wind, heralding the coming spring of the prairie.

At the foot of the southern foot of Daqing Mountain, there is a fortress guarding the road into the mountain. It was built by immigrant expropriation during the Qin Dynasty, and it was named the city of Wuquan County.

On the dirt road of the split prairie in the south of the county seat, Liu Ying put her arms around Wu Zai's neck and galloped forward at the head of the horse. Behind him was the murderous and glaring Liu Bang.

Well, Liu Bang's current anger is understandable, the crow's hooves are flying around, setting off waves of smoke and dust, and throwing it all on Liu Bang's face...

Brother, you killed me... Liu Ying shook her head and sighed, and at the same time pulled the rein slightly to the left, indicating that Wu Zou was stuck in front of Liu Bang.

And behind them, there are tens of thousands of armored cavalry fanning out.

Trampled by iron hoofs, the earth shakes!
In front of them was Wuquan County with its gates wide open. The Xiongnu flag on the top of the city had disappeared, but because the Han army had not yet entered the city, and there was a lack of embroiderers in the city, there was no such thing as embroidering the Han flag overnight. occur.

After all, Wuquan County is not far from Yunzhong City, and both of them actually belong to the jurisdiction of the later Hohhot area.

Although the Qin soldiers in Wuquan County didn't know how those loud noises were made, they still knew clearly that the Han army captured the almost indestructible Yunzhong City in just one morning!
The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty had the same roots as the Han people, and they knew the so-called Han-Qin system from the Han merchants, so they naturally knew the fate of stubborn resistance.

Therefore, surrendering to the Han Empire, which succeeded the Qin Empire, is not an unacceptable thing!

After a while, when the disgraced Liu Bang arrived at the gate of Wuquan County, the men, women and children who had left the city to beg for surrender tremblingly looked up at him with courage, and immediately there was endless admiration in their hearts.

Is this the founder of the Han Empire?

In the body of an old man, they came from a long distance and came here through thorns and thorns, and came to the bitter cold place with the honor of the emperor, which is much better than their former emperors!
After all, the Han Empire was a new great empire, and there were as many warriors in the country as the hair of an ox, the generals were like a cloud, and the advisers were like rain. The emperor of the Han Dynasty could sit in the capital and strategize, and there was no need to go to the front line in person.

As a veteran soldier of the Qin army, he naturally knew what kind of courage the soldiers in the army could show when the main general, Mao Shishi, appeared on the front line!
In the same way, when the emperor of an empire appears on the front line, what kind of courage and combat power the soldiers of the whole army can unleash is beyond their imagination!

As a result, Liu Bang's expressionless face became calm and self-possessed, with endless majesty...

So they ignored the other side, Liu Ying who was ready to run away at any time...

..........................................

At mid-day, the surrender ceremony ended, and Liu Bang summoned the 'representatives of public opinion' in Wuquan County to have lunch.

Before the start of lunch, Liu Bang also delivered an important speech, fully affirming the behavior of the Qin soldiers in Wuquan County in defending their homes and defending the country in the past, and expressing their high regard for their behavior of bearing humiliation, pretending to surrender to the Huns, and waiting for an opportunity to set things right again praise...

This old man is too good at beeping... Liu Ying stared blankly at the cold roast leg of lamb in front of her, her heart was full of resentment.

But on the other side, those people in Wuquan County were blushing, their backs were straight, and they were breathing heavily one after another.

After all, the one with the highest rank among them is an official, and it is common to see officials like the sheriff kneeling on the ground to greet them, but now they are sitting on an equal footing with the emperor of the empire, listening to the holy voice...

Although Liu Bang's heavily accented Peisi dialect made them somewhat incomprehensible, but this is not important. What is important is that the glory of having lunch with His Majesty the Emperor today is worth boasting to their descendants for 100 years!

..........................................

In the evening, in the Shogunate of the Chinese Army outside Wuquan County, the ease and joy of the day had disappeared, replaced by solemnity.

Here comes the wolf!
Mouton, back!

The rangers sent out to raid the winter camps of the Huns in Yunzhong County came to report that they had discovered the Huns brigade east of Yuanyang City (now the ancient city of Ershijiazi in the southeast of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia). See, it is the banner of Maodun flying among the Huns cavalry!

Liu Bang looked around for a week and found that this was exactly what he wanted.

He ran all the way from Shaanxi to Inner Mongolia, didn't he just want to have a good fight with Mao Dun?

Now, Mouton is here!

In the big tent of the Chinese shogunate, Han Xin, Lu Wan and others were not surprised by the appearance of Maodun. After all, this is where the King's Court of the Huns is. I don't know why Maodun left here before, but the Han army took it back. The news of Yunzhong County will definitely reach Maodun's ears.

They have also witnessed it with their own eyes. Although this grassland is bitterly cold in winter, it has sufficient sunlight and is suitable for farming and grazing. If it is well developed, it will definitely be a big granary on the northern frontier of the empire!
At that time, not only will there be no need to transfer food and grass from Guanzhong to the garrison here, I am afraid that Guanzhong will also need to transfer food and grass from here!

And with Yunzhong County in hand, the Great Wall of the Yinshan Mountains can be connected with the Great Walls of the Taihang Mountains and Yanshan Mountains, allowing them to advance, attack, retreat, and defend!

The important thing is that the geographical location here is special. If the Huns control Yunzhong County, they can threaten the Yan Kingdom to the east, and South Korea to the south. The capital of the empire, Guanzhong!
But if the Han Kingdom controls Yunzhong County, it is equivalent to driving a nail into the heart of the Huns, not only cutting off the connection between the east and west ends of the Huns, but also sending troops from here to directly attack the Huns' Dragon City!

When Liu Bang's central army shogunate was illuminated with candle lights as bright as day, the camp of the Huns on the east bank of the Great Black River, hundreds of miles away, was full of voices, bulls roaring and horses neighing.

The cavalry of Shan Yuting's headquarters who attacked Donghu King, Dingling King, and Lan's King had returned one after another, and the results were quite fruitful. Not only did they bring back hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, but there were also countless slaves and women!
Mao Dun is now leaning on the tiger skin cushion, in front of him are the left and right generals and others with their arms around women.

This is the tradition of the Huns. After conquering a grassland tribe, they would choose a moonless night to collectively conquer the women of those tribes again.

But Mao Dun himself did not join in this collective conquest, on the contrary, he also repelled a woman who was approaching him backwards like a bitch!

Even if that woman's skin is delicate, her face is like a silver plate, she has cow-like breasts, a horse-like buttocks, and her status is extremely noble in the past, she will usually be the candidate for the Yan family.

After all, he is panting badly every time he moves, and it is easy to lose face as a man in such an occasion. The important thing is that he is the plow supporter of the Huns, the descendant of the Canglang God, and he will never lie on the ground , let the woman gallop on him like riding a horse!
Therefore, even though his heart was itchy and he was breathing heavily, he still twisted his beard and smiled, silently waiting for the end of the traditional custom.

....................................

In the early morning, after eating a handful of meat and conquering the captured female slaves again, nearly 20 Huns cavalry crossed the Dahei River in the dry season and rushed to the Han army on the other side of the grassland.

As ordinary herdsmen, they don't care much about the strategic position of this grassland. They just want to drive the Han people away, just like their parents drove away the Qin people more than ten years ago, so that their descendants can live in this fertile land. Herding horses and sheep freely on the grassland!

Gradually, when the morning mist cleared, they saw the Han army arrayed in the field.

As they remembered, the car base, the infantry phalanx was in the center, and the cavalry in the blinding iron armor were on both sides of the Han army.

As a result, the Huns clamored horns again and again, and tens of thousands of Hun cavalry detoured to both sides of the Han army. Instead of holding bows and arrows and short spears in their hands as before, they replaced them with long horse poles.

This is a weapon that people on horseback are best at. Although it looks unreliable, they can ride on horseback and use this lasso to easily subdue wild horses!

Well, the Huns, and later the Mongolians, Kazakhs and other nomadic peoples were quite rough in raising horses, and they mainly used free-range breeding. That is, when the horses they ride every day lose weight, they don’t feed them with good horses. Get fat again, but put the skinny horse back on the grassland, then grab another wild horse and put it outside, and come back to ride the fat and strong one...

Therefore, they are extremely skilled in lathering horses. This is a new method that Modu came up with to restrain the cavalry of the Han army this time.

Use a horse pole to trap the cavalrymen of the Han army who are like iron cans, drag them off their horses, and then trample them to death...

But Mao Dun miscalculated this time. The men who faced the horses were none other than Rongdi cavalry recruited from Longxi and Beidi counties for the second time.

These guys ride horses to graze sheep on the hillside, go up and down the mountains, and go in and out of the streams, just like walking on flat ground. The important thing is that the horses they are riding now are mixed-breed horses raised by the imperial servants, that is, cold-blooded horses from Yan Kingdom and A new breed of war horse crossed from hot-blooded horses from the Western Regions.

Although these warm-blooded horses have not yet formed a stable bloodline, they have relatively perfectly inherited the advantages of both parents. Not to mention running fast, the important thing is that the shoulder height is close to 1.6 meters, and the shoulder height of the Huns is generally 1.3 meters. , 1.4 meters grassland horse standing together is particularly obvious contrast!
When the Rongdi cavalry skillfully used various techniques to avoid the Huns' horse poles, and drew out the goose feather saber to slash left and right, they bypassed the battle area, and the Langzhong cavalry who surrounded the Huns' wings were also constantly compressing the Huns. formation of people.

Then the four-pounders mounted on the wagons began to advance.
