Both the Jiuyuan Army and the Donghu people looked dumbfounded at the Suzaku Army cavalry, which suddenly turned from galloping to stillness and stayed dozens of steps away. As the Suzaku Army stood up on their horses, a wave of heavy cavalry followed the Suzaku Army.
The strong and murderous wind was wrapped in countless dust and roared into the Jiuyuan Army Formation.
The strong wind brought dust, and the infantrymen couldn't help but close their eyes or raise their hands to block their sight to prevent the dust from rushing into their eyes. However, the 50,000 cavalrymen of the Longxi Army standing on the flanks of the infantry heard a burst of war horses neighing.
.
War horses are much more sensitive to murderous aura than humans. The Suzaku Army, who originally thought that there would be a big battle soon, had already suppressed the murderous aura all the way. When they rushed over, they released it without any scruples, but they did not expect that it was their own people who were waiting for them.
.
The war horses neighed, and the battle flags rustled and threatened to be broken.
It took a while for the strong wind to stop.
The Suzaku Army's bright black armor, fiery red flags, sabers that shimmered with a faint cold light in the sun, and the stern military posture that moved like a rabbit but was as quiet as a virgin, all made it clear that this was a far better army than the ones I had ever fought with.
The elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army who had fought hand to hand and fought against each other were even more elite cavalry.
The fiery red cloth covers the back of the war horse, and the protruding outline on it is a bit strange. Do the Qin people's war horses have humps on their backs? When did such a war horse with a hump appear?
The feet of the Qin cavalry seemed to be stepping on something, but it was not clear because of the cloth. The Qin cavalry's feet seemed to be stepping on something to fix the cavalry's body.
The more he looked at Mo Huer, the more horrified he became.
As a nomadic people, the Donghu people are very aware of the advantages that cavalry has over infantry. At the same time, they are also well aware of the disadvantages of cavalry.
Whether it is the Qin people's war horses with humps or the things on the Qin people's cavalry feet, their role in Mohu'er's opinion has only one purpose. That is to fix the bodies of the Qin people's cavalry so that they will never use them again.
He was worried that he would be thrown off the horse by the galloping horse; the things on the horse's belly seemed to be also designed to fix the bodies of the Qin cavalry. In Mohu'er's opinion, the value of this Donghu was even more than that of a war horse with a hump.
The cavalry's feet are hanging on both sides of the horse, unable to reach the sky or the ground, and cannot use force at all. This is the most common disadvantage of the cavalry, and it can be said that it fundamentally limits the cavalry's combat effectiveness.
The Qin people had obviously figured out how to fix the bodies of the cavalry and how to enable the cavalry to exert their maximum combat power on horseback. The long, narrow and slightly curved sharp sword seemed to be for these bright red Qin people.
Equipped with cavalry.
The horses of the Jiuyuan Army cavalry had the same bare backs as the horses of the Donghu people. Mohuer quickly figured out that obviously some of the equipment of the Qin cavalry brought to the rescue by General Meng Tian were only used in Qin.
There is only a small amount of equipment in the human army.
It's just that Mo Huer didn't understand why the Qin cavalry, which seemed to have never seen even the Jiuyuan Army, got such good weapons, but the Jiuyuan Army, who was Meng Tian's direct descendant, obviously never seemed to have seen these things. This
Mohuer can tell this from the fiery look in the eyes of the Nine Plains Army cavalrymen when they see the sophisticated equipment on those cavalrymen.
What Mohuer couldn't figure out even more was why this cavalry force, which obviously only had tens of thousands of people, gave people the impression that hundreds of thousands of cavalry were coming at the same time when they were galloping.
Mohu'er, the current leader of the Donghu clan, can see these problems clearly, but ordinary Donghu people are not as wise as him. Most of the Donghu cavalry see only a fierce Qin cavalry.
Although they have not yet fought each other, facing the Suzaku Army cavalry with as high morale as wolves and tigers, the more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry have already become a little weaker mentally.
Meng Tian saw all this, so it was not so much that Meng Tian was not worried about the Donghu cavalry. It was more that the Suzaku Army following him to the north would frighten the Donghu people and even the Jiuyuan Army.
The general has returned to Jiuyuan. Needless to say, the excitement of the generals of the Jiuyuan Army must not be expressed in detail. Even Meng Tian is sighing. However, Meng Tian has not reminisced with the generals of the Jiuyuan Army. It is not the time yet.
After a brief meeting to ask about the situation, a series of orders were quickly issued from Mengtian's mouth.
The first thing is to order the Dragon Guard to use the only remaining messenger eagle to send a message to the 20,000 Suzaku Army heading to Yunzhong County to intercept several Huns barbarian cavalry entering Yunzhong County. The Donghu people surrendered, allowing Meng Tian to see the plan to destroy the entire Xiongnu.
Opportunity.
It can be said that Meng Tian and Wei Liao both thought of Wang Qian at the same time. However, Wei Liao thought that Wang Qian just did not want Meng Tian to take the credit for the destruction of the Huns, while Meng Tian thought of Wang Qian and wanted to give Wang Qian the credit for the destruction.
, or rather to His Majesty the Emperor.
The five major legions are all direct descendants of the emperor, and they are also the only army in the Qin army that does not have any Meng clan members as generals. All the generals in the five major legions were appointed by the emperor from the Bashang camp.
Selected from an army of 600,000.
The Suzaku Army destroyed the Xiongnu. From another perspective, it means that the emperor destroyed the Xiongnu. Compared with Wei Liao, Meng Tian had to see this more thoroughly than he did.
While sending a message ordering Wang Qian to come and join him, Meng Tian mobilized nearly 80% of the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army in Jiuyuan City. Although it was nearly 80%, it was only 50,000 people.
The remaining nearly 120,000 infantrymen were also mobilized, and more than 40,000 were used to escort grain, grass, and baggage. Of course, they were not the main personnel in transporting grain, grass, and baggage. Meng Tian directly issued a military order to surrender hundreds of large and small soldiers to Da Qin.
The small foreign tribes and the people of Great Qin in Jiuyuan City were recruited. More than 100,000 people were responsible for transporting grain, grass and baggage with the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army. The Jiuyuan Army, which had always been the leader, took up the task of escorting grain and grass for the first time.
.
With 50,000 Suzaku Army cavalry, 59,000 original army elite cavalry, plus 50,000 Longxi Army cavalry and more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry, Meng Tian now commands an army of nearly 400,000 people.
If labor was not drafted, the supply of these 400,000 troops would be a problem that could not be solved at all. At this time, Meng Tian could no longer care about much, or it could be said that Meng Tian did this on purpose.
Meng Tian's prestige in Jiuyuan City is unquestionable. As his military orders were issued, all the people who were recruited, whether they were foreign barbarians or people of the Qin Dynasty, basically did not have even the slightest voice of opposition or complaint. The people who were recruited even
There is a feeling of glory in my heart.
People who have never been to Jiuyuan cannot understand the heartfelt respect that Jiuyuan people have for Mengtian. Whether they are small alien tribes, native people of Jiuyuan, or Qin people who later moved to Jiuyuan.
Everyone knows one thing very well, that is, without General Meng Tian and without the Jiuyuan Army, it would be impossible for them to live as comfortable a life as they do today.
Originally, in history, after Meng Tian was killed by Hu Hai, more than a million people of all ethnic groups in Jiuyuan County spontaneously gathered in Jiuyuan, gathered at the foot of the Great Wall that was originally closed outside Jiuyuan City, put on mourning for Meng Tian, and cried. The sound shook the sky.
Of course, the recruitment of labor cannot be completed in a short time. At this time, it has been almost an hour since Mao Dun retreated to the direction of Yunzhong County. Meng Tian was very worried that Mao Dun would use most of the Huns cavalry to attract the attention of the Jiuyuan Army, while his own light chariot was only simple. Take a small number of personal guards and confidants to escape from the Daqin territory by breaking away from the group.
After a short rest, the fifty-nine elite cavalrymen of the original army were divided into fifty groups of one thousand people, and scattered in the direction of Maodu's retreat. As long as any group of cavalry found the fleeing Maodu, they If there are any traces of the troops, beacons will be lit immediately to notify the entire army.
The 50,000 Longxi Army acted as the vanguard, following the retreating traces of the Xiongnu cavalry. Meng Tian still led the 50,000 Suzaku Army and more than 200,000 Donghu Cavalry as the rear army, hanging dozens of miles behind the Longxi Army. Follow wherever you go.
Just like his attitude towards Wang Qian, at this moment Meng Tian made up his mind to leave Mao Dun in Da Qin even though he had not received the edict from Xianyang. There was only one chance, how could Meng Tian let it go so easily.
The fifty-nine elite cavalrymen of the original army turned into dozens of squads of a thousand men, and soon disappeared at the end of the wilderness. Their task was the most difficult, not only to search for traces of most of Mao Dun, but more importantly, to prevent Mao Dun from leaving. The team escapes.
Not long after the 59,000 fine cavalry of the original army left, Xin Sheng led 50,000 Longxi troops to pursue Mao Dun in the direction of his escape. The Longxi army set off, and Meng Tian followed closely with 50,000 Suzaku troops and Mohuer's troops. More than 200,000 Donghu cavalry followed them on the road.
Meng Tian was not too worried about food, fodder and baggage. During the nine years when the Jiuyuan Army guarded Jiuyuan, Meng Hong was not only the head of the Jiuyuan shogunate, but also the real logistics manager of the Jiuyuan Army. With him in charge of Jiuyuan Meng Tian felt relieved as he coordinated the logistics.
As the thunderous roar of horseshoes gradually faded away, the overwhelming number of cavalrymen finally disappeared into the horizon.
The sun has set in the west.
…
Great Qin Empire, Yunzhong County!
From the time the sun had not risen in the morning to now when the sun was setting in the west, Wang Qian and his 20,000 Suzaku soldiers never relaxed for a moment except for a short break at noon to eat and drink.
Wang Gan knew very well that every time he delayed, the possibility of the Huns massacring the people of Yunzhong Qin would increase. What's more, the Huns left Jiuyuan and rushed to Yunzhong County last night.
The entire Yunzhong County is sparsely populated, or the entire northern border of Da Qin is a sparsely populated area. The entire Yunzhong Army is located in the center of Yunzhong except for the ancient cities and towns of Yunzhong City (later Tuoketuo County (under the jurisdiction of Hohhot)). Village), the only county seat was Wuquan, which was close to the northern border of Daqin and close to the Great Wall (later Hohhot).
Wang Qian and the 20,000 Suzaku Army were galloping directly towards Yunzhong City. The Xiongnu cavalry marched east from Jiuyuan City. It was impossible to kill Wuquan County, which is located at the northernmost edge of Yunzhong County. They would only go along the The road from Jiuyuan to Yunzhong kills towards Yunzhong City.
This is the second time for Wang Qian and others to rest. At this moment, they are less than a hundred miles away from Yunzhong City.
The soldiers of the Suzaku Army who had dismounted and rested took out water and dry food and wolfed them down, seizing the time to replenish their physical strength.
At this moment, the faint sound of horse hoofbeats came from the west of the Suzaku Army. The sound seemed to be at least ten miles away from the Suzaku Army. And the direction of the horse hoofbeats seemed to be towards Yunzhong City in the east.
