The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 658 Tian Shanyu [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

The appearance of the Red Flame Cavalry broke the world's current perception of cavalry.

In the past, cavalry was very valuable, but that was because of their high mobility.

In fact, the wars between the princes were still mainly fought by infantry, and the cavalry were only used as cavalry, not as regular soldiers.

In a frontal battle, we still have to rely on elite soldiers and infantrymen.

The strategic significance of cavalry is more to be used for surprise attacks and to cover the front battlefield.

However, the appearance of heavy cavalry such as the Red Flame Cavalry let the world know that cavalry could also be used for frontal attacks like shield guards.

However, after seeing the value of the Red Flame Cavalry's equipment, the princes of Qin, Yan, Chu, Wei and others all fell silent.

too expensive!
The soldiers' armor is expensive enough, but the war horses also need leather armor, which is even more expensive.

In addition to armor, war horses that can carry such weight and run so fast are even more rare.

Ordinary war horses have good speed but poor endurance, and their endurance is poor but their speed is poor, let alone war horses that can carry soldiers wearing heavy armor.

Not everyone can have as much of a shortage of war horses as Bingzhou.

Not to mention that there is no shortage of fine horses on the grassland itself, the horses that Bingzhou obtained from Dayuan and Wusun alone are superior to those of other princes in terms of horse breeds.

I have several horse farms like other families.

What about Bingzhou?
Bingzhou said, I only have one horse farm, and my entire Bingzhou is a huge horse farm.

Therefore, even though the princes knew the general appearance of the Red Flame Cavalry, they could not afford to support such heavy cavalry.

There is a kind of road that you know how to go but you can't walk on it.

Well, Qi can leave, Qi is not short of money.

The wealth of Qi State may not be comparable to that of all the princes combined.

But they could not withstand the internal strife among the royal family of Qi and did not build up military preparations.

More and more detailed battle reports finally began to spread from Bingzhou to the world.

After gathering enough of their own followers, the Chiyan Cavalry withdrew to Danlin City without completely pursuing the Donghu.

It’s not that Bingzhou was unable to completely defeat the Donghu militarily, but that it was not worth it.

If Bingzhou wants to completely occupy Donghu, it will need a large number of officials and a lot of money to build Donghu.

But Bingzhou now cannot afford so much money and so many people to do this.

If we force it to do so, Bingzhou's economy will only regress to several years ago.

"Shan Yu certainly didn't expect that he would be in this capacity when he first came to the Beiye Royal Court, right?"

Under the Beiye Royal City, Yan Yan personally stood at the city gate to welcome the King of Donghu.

A new flag was hung above the city gate, alongside the flags of the Xiongnu, Loufan, Tanlin and other kings.

The King of Donghu looked at the huge flags hanging on the Beiye Royal City, and finally sighed. He imitated the etiquette of the Central Plains and bowed deeply to Yan Yan.

The King of Donghu was filled with emotion. He knew that the Beiye royal court had ravaged all the major tribes and overlords on the grassland and hung their royal flags under the walls of the royal city.

But I never expected that one day the White Deer King flag of the Donghu royal court would be hung under this city wall.

He was defeated when 300,000 fought against 30,000. What else could he say and how could he defend himself?

When he was defeated by Li Mu, he could attribute it to the fact that the other tribes were not strong enough and he fell into the trap of Zhao State and Li Mu. He was always unwilling to admit that he lost to the Zhao soldiers.

But this time, they were in a head-on confrontation between cavalrymen, and were defeated miserably. There was no strategy, it was a contest of pure strength. So, this time, they lost sincerely.

Especially from his captor Han Xin, he also knew that the Chiyan Cavalry was not the most elite cavalry in Bingzhou, and they all knew that the most elite army in Bingzhou was called Yulin Guards.

Unfortunately, they were defeated without even having the qualifications to meet the Yulin Guards.

"There is a saying in the Central Plains, 'The winner makes the king, the loser is the bandit.' I, the Chanyu, accept defeat with all my heart. You may kill me or chop me up, all is up to you!" Even though the King of Donghu was captured, he still maintained his kingly demeanor and always stood upright.

After all, he was the one who became the King of Donghu through the struggle for the throne among various princes. It was impossible for him to beg for mercy in a humble manner.

As for what Bingzhou would do to him, he also had the worst plan.

The grassland overlords have always liked to use the heads of the defeated as wine jars to show off their own strength.

"Great Chanyu, please come in!" Yan Yan had no intention of killing the King of Donghu. He motioned the King of Donghu to walk with him into the Beiye Royal Court.

The King of Donghu was stunned for a moment, but still followed Yan Yan, subconsciously slowing down half a step, and walked into the Beiye Royal Court together.

The triumphant return of the royal army naturally attracted welcome and curiosity from the people of Beiye Royal Court.

All the people in Beiye Royal City wanted to see this captured king who was once the strongest king on the grassland.

As a grassland nation, the Donghu were once so powerful that no tribe dared to resist. Even after Bingzhou was established, in their minds and bones, they did not believe that Bingzhou could compete with the Donghu.

It was not until Bingzhou completed a bloody massacre of three thousand miles and forced the Donghu royal court to move eastward that the fear in his heart began to waver.

However, after being suppressed by the Donghu for hundreds of years, they still subconsciously feared the Donghu.

Now, this fear has finally dissipated.

Their king captured the Great Chanyu of Donghu!

"Is this the royal court of Beiye?" Looking at the huge city and the people standing by the road to watch, the King of Donghu understood where he had been defeated.

Beiye Royal City was too big, too neat and spacious, and had too many people. The crowds were bustling, and all lived in sturdy houses. There was no sign of being exposed to the elements.

This is something the Donghu royal court could not do.

"Long live the king!" When Yan Yan led the King of Donghu through the center of the road, the soldiers and civilians on both sides of the road subconsciously saluted and shouted.

This kind of kingly demeanor once again shocked the King of Donghu.

An Qisheng also appeared, following the Prime Minister of Donghu, and introduced him to the entire Beiye Royal Court.

"Bingzhou doesn't intend to kill us!" Prime Minister Donghu looked at An Qisheng and confirmed that they would not die.

"Life and death depends on the choice between the Prime Minister and the Chanyu!" An Qisheng looked at the Prime Minister of Donghu and said meaningfully.

Capturing the King of Donghu and the Prime Minister alive would bring far more to Bingzhou than Han Xin and others could understand.

The Prime Minister of Donghu looked at An Qisheng, then at Yan Yan and his own king who were walking in front, and roughly guessed what Bingzhou wanted to do.

"Tian Chanyu!" Prime Minister Donghu looked at Yan Yan, who could force his king to subconsciously fall back half a step just by his royal power, and slowly uttered three words.

Bingzhou wants them, and wants the Donghu, the once most powerful royal family on the grassland, to personally acknowledge the power of Bingzhou, and acknowledge that the Beiye royal court is the most powerful royal family in the entire grassland, or the only imperial family above the king.

Among all the tribes on the grassland, the only imperial tribe.

All royal families must submit to this.

Bingzhou is the common leader of all ethnic groups and tribes on the grassland!
"Tian Chanyu?" An Qisheng thought for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction, "I like this title very much, and I believe Your Majesty will like it too!"
