Chapter 565

Li Hong, the Han Army, gave up just a little after the collapsed Rouran cavalry. That's because some external scouts warned with wolf smoke, and several groups of Hu Lu cavalry are approaching quickly.

Now is not the time to calculate the results of the war. Even the head cutting, which was very popular with the Han Army, only a few parts were cut, mainly to find the robes killed or injured in the battle and pack up some things.

Seeing that the goal of stimulating the Hu people was achieved, Li Hong did not directly lead the army back to the valley, but continued to march to the southeast.

About two quarters of an hour later, a group of Hu cavalry arrived at the battle site just now. After they arrived, they dismounted directly. What they did on the battlefield was to collect things they were interested in and could use, and they didn't clean up the bodies.

In the grassland after fighting, unless there are some blood related people, no one will really bother to clean up the bodies of the dead, but will let them be exposed.

Just less than two quarters of an hour after the fight, many vultures have appeared on the battlefield after the fight. They ignore even the arrival of living people. They leisurely destroy the human body with a sharp pecker. If they peck a piece of fresh meat, they will hold up their neck and gulp it into their stomach.

Not only vultures, but also some carnivorous birds and animals are active in the sites after fighting, but they are still afraid of living people except vultures. After the emergence of the Hu cavalry, most "corpse eaters" leave.

Liga is not used to animals eating corpses for a long time. What he wants to know most is whether the people can find something useful.

Rouran tribal alliance is relatively primitive, and primitive indicates the directness of pursuit. Postscript: participating in the alliance of various kings is a completely indifferent attitude for most Rouran tribal leaders.

The only thing they care about most is what benefits they can get from the alliance, and what benefits they can see and get quickly.

"Dear Ji Lifa, we searched all over the battlefield. The Han army only left some dead horses, but did not find the rest."

Of course, the biggest one in Rouran is the Khan. There are many official positions under it. Wailifa is also called wainiva. It has a high position. It is held by the Khan family and holds the military power of one side.

In fact, the name of Khan is "Cenozoic". Before that, the supreme rulers of all ethnic groups on the grassland called Shan Yu, which is a legacy of the Hun system. Waiting for Rouran to replace Xiongnu as the new overlord of the grassland, Khan also replaced Shan Yu as the title of supreme ruler, which is the beginning of another era.

Since then, there has been no honor of Shan Yu on the grassland. Later, Turks, Khitans, Mongolia and other backward generations all use the honor of Khan. As for Shan Yu, go to hell.

Rouran not only has an influence on the title of Khan, but also a set of official position system they have established affects grassland tribes for generations. The official title will change, but the responsibilities are basically the same.

The reason why Rouran culture will affect many generations of grassland tribes is quite simple. It is that the later rising Turks have a system similar to the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. Turks have almost followed the Rouran people's system, and Turks have been strong enough to continue the inheritance. In addition, it must be said that grassland nomads are not creative. If they have a ready-made system, they don't want to spend more time.

"Doesn't it mean that the Han people are very rich?" Li hurried over to clean up the battlefield first: "shouldn't those southerners deceive us?"

Rouran calls Hu Xianbei and other Hu ethnic groups southerners without any problem, just as donggaoche calls Rouran southerners. This is determined by its geographical location.

"We..." Liga was about to speak, but the corners of his eyes caught a long black line on the horizon in the distance. He narrowed his eyes to see: "are there any of us in the southeast?"

No one can answer Liga's question.

Many Hu prisoners learned that the Han army was approaching the site of langjuxu mountain. Bati intended to show force and temporarily stop the alliance attack. Of course, the other kings would not object.

Langju Xu mountain is now the territory of Rouran people. There are quite a few tribes. Without remote communication means, no one knows how many tribes find that the Han army will come to intercept them. In addition, there are a lot of teams dispatched from langju Xu mountain. It is really difficult to identify whether they are their own people if they are far away.

Liga didn't think much, but ordered according to the instinct of unifying the Army: "let people concentrate."

The sound of ox horns was sounded, and the soft people who didn't get any harvest scolded each other. In fact, they didn't pay much attention to the presence of a large group of people in the distance.

Rouran people are considered by the surrounding ethnic groups to be famous for having only muscles and no brain. They can suffer losses repeatedly in the same thing, but they will not have a long memory. Donggaoche fights with Rouran. Both sides are a nation with little insight. What they do depends on experience and hard hitting. Rouran people are stronger than donggaoche in force, so they have the upper hand in confrontation.

On the horizon in the distance is the Han army. After Li Hong marched to the southeast, he found that there were tens of thousands of unknown troops in the southeast.

There are so many Han troops on the grassland. Xie AI is with the main force near the valley. For Li Hong, the Han Army, "unknown" represents hostility.

Li Hong doesn't want to break out to the southeast with his troops. He just cruises in the vast grassland. When he can fight, he thinks he can't fight. The ultimate goal is to attract enough hatred value so that the enemy can follow his ass.

"Another gentle cavalry." Li Hong has a telescope. He doesn't take advantage of the distance of vision: "there is no other enemy within 30 miles around. You can do another job!"

The grassland is really flat. Depending on the number, the two sides can find each other within a certain distance. Generally, if the number exceeds a certain degree, it needs to be in special terrain.

Riga instinctively gathered his troops. They didn't know what formation to put. They just piled up so loosely. What was slightly remarkable was that they all stayed on horseback.

The Han Army had a unified military uniform, which was probably the only one of the eastern countries and forces. They began to accelerate slowly within ten miles of the gentle cavalry near Lika.

Shili looked vaguely with the naked eye. Liga found something wrong. The team did not act according to the etiquette of the grassland.

When two teams meet on the grassland, no one can interfere with each other's actions when the distance is still far, but after the distance between the two sides is close enough, neither side can let the speed soar. Fast speed is an impending fight. There is such a custom because there is no shortage of horses among the tribes on the grassland. The fighting on the grassland is a battle between cavalry. Instead of slowing down, it accelerates. It doesn't mean hostility or anything.

Liga drank "drive", patted his legs on the horse's belly, and waited for the horse to move before roaring: "enemy attack!"

On the other hand, Li Hong, who was observing with a telescope, was already happy because he saw a relatively distinctive flag.

The standard is a dance instrument made of feather or an ornament on the emperor's chariot. It is the flag of the ancient army or guard of honor. All ethnic groups will have similar things. After the civilization of the Chinese and Miao people has developed to a certain extent, the feather of the standard is replaced by cloth, and the standard of the nomadic people has always retained its original characteristics.

The standard has quite a number of levels. The more gorgeous the standard is, the more noble or powerful the holder is. The gorgeous is reflected in what kind of animal skin and feathers the standard is made of.

Li Hong doesn't know the official position difference of the Rouran tribal alliance, but he knows that the more special the banner of the Hu people is, the higher the representative position is. He originally attacks with excitement. He will inevitably become excited when he finds that he catches a big fish. As for his side, there are only more than 6000 cavalry, and the other side has at least 20000, he doesn't think there is any problem.

The Han army is accelerating, but it is not letting go of galloping. Only commanders who do not understand cavalry will accelerate with all their strength when they are far away from the enemy. If they really wait for contact, their horses should be at a physical disadvantage.

The war horse needs a certain degree of warm-up before the battle. The Han Army has been cruising, and the warm-up has been completed early. Knowing how to command the cavalry and not knowing, some subtle control differences will determine the degree of combat effectiveness that a cavalry can play. Li Hong thought he knew how to command the cavalry. When he saw that the enemy moved within four miles of his own side, the corners of his mouth immediately smiled.

Liga hesitated. Of course, he knew that his side came from a long distance and stayed in place for about a quarter of an hour. After a rest, the sweat of the war horse was dried. It was very difficult to enter the state suitable for fighting again. The reason why he hesitated was that it was difficult to judge the endurance of Han Army mounts, including how fast and how long they could gallop.

[the enemy is about 5000...] Liga has been able to see what the Han army looks like: [it's really rich, all shining!]

The so-called shining is the reflection of sunlight from the light source on the smooth plate. Plate armor is a dark silver color, and the rest of the joints are dark copper. Under sufficient sunlight, they will reflect the light belonging to metal.

Whether there are metal minerals under the grassland is the same for nomads. They have no exploration technology. Even if they are lucky to find open-pit mines, they have no smelting technology. As a result, nomads on the grassland have always been in a state of extreme lack of metal.

[it seems that... Will be caught up soon?] Liga has sufficient riding experience and is greedy for the shining Han Army: [I have 20000 cavalry, and the Han army is only about 5000? Even if I suffer a loss in speed, four fight one, even if the loss is heavier, it's unreasonable to fight!]

Metal, the metal that has been made into armor and weapons, Rouran's desire for them is so great that Liga is willing to exchange at least 10000 people. He also thought that there were several friendly armies nearby. It was not just 20000 to thousands. After a long time, reinforcements would appear. Anyway, they thought they should fight.

Instead of directly bumping into the attacking Han Army, Liga let more than 3000 people collide, and the rest of the cavalry bypassed each other and spent more time adjusting the state of the horses.

The more than 3000 people sent out were death squads in the eyes of Lika. They didn't expect to get much killing and killing. They simply used war to slow down the speed of the Han army. His knowledge also determined that the death squads could disrupt the formation of the Han Army, just because Rouran didn't know there was such a thing as formation.

The fighting between the two sides began with shooting arrows at each other. The difference was that the crossbow and arrow fired by the Han army were far enough, but none of the arrows fired by the Rouran cavalry could touch the Han army. After shooting each other, the two sides immediately entered the close combat stage. The cavalry staggered with each other. It was inevitable that some cavalry would hit directly. It was a mess on the scene.

After all, they fight at a high speed, making the cavalry fight at a fast pace, but the fast pace does not mean that the final victory or defeat can be determined at one time. On the contrary, after the cavalry fight, unless one party retreats immediately, it is difficult to decide the victory or defeat in an instant.

Li Hong found that the front became empty. Without looking back, he pointed his saber at the flag not far away.

The sound of the horn sounded "Wuwu -" which was the command of the Han Army to charge again.

Lijia, who was outside, felt scared to pee. He just tried his best to observe. The three thousand daredevil cavalry sent out were only staggered. No more than five hundred could live and wait for each other to pierce. The remaining daredevil cavalry did not know whether they were dizzy or what. After chiseling through each other, they dispersed directly.

[the loss of the Han Army... Will not exceed two hundred?] this was the shock of Liga. He even found that: [some Han troops turned back to the battlefield to clean up their own war dead?]

As long as the Han Army has a chance, it will certainly bring back the body of paoze who died in the war. Taking back the equipment is secondary, and sending paoze to the Yingling hall is the main. For every Han Army, living to earn military merit is rewarded. After death, they can also enjoy incense in the Yingling hall. It is better to place the ashes in the Yingling hall and get a dress instead. Everyone wants to take his ashes back after his death. No one can guarantee that he will not die in the war. Of course, he hopes to set an example and try his best to take away the body of paoze who died in the war.

Li Hong was supposed to attack the flag. He caught the wolf smoke in the distance and shouted with bad luck: "detour, leave!"

If you can kill the important figures of the enemy, of course, you should kill them. If you can't kill them, don't hesitate. Cavalry should avoid greed in battle. You can't even delay a breath when it's time to flee, otherwise you may break in all because of one breath.

Liga soon found that the Han army was circuitous. The next moment he saw the inexplicable wolf smoke. He kept yelling with a ferocious face: "bite, you must bite, kill them all and rob all their armor and weapons!"

Yes, what Rouran people want is those shiny standard equipment.

... split... Cut... Line
