Li Hong had to slip away. There were more and more wolf smoke rising to the sky around them. If they stayed, they would be surrounded by layers.
It's common for cavalry to escape if they can't fight. It's not generally difficult to encircle a cavalry in the vast grassland. That's the main reason why the war between the Western Han Dynasty and the Huns still can't completely destroy the Huns in the heyday of the Han army. It's not that the Han army can't beat the Huns, but that the Huns don't want to fight and flee all the time, which will only wipe out the Han Army on a small scale, It is impossible for the Han Army to wipe out the Huns.
Li Hong led his troops to flee. He didn't encounter the enemy's intercepted cavalry all the way, but even if there was a fight, he just left at the touch of a touch. Under the constant change of horses and galloping, there were still Hu Lu's cavalry hanging behind his tail, but the two sides didn't completely stick to each other.
If the Han Army did not stop, the cavalry killed in battle could not be taken away, or even fell behind. After chasing the Han Army, Liga finally obtained some booty.
"Tut tut!" Lijia was obsessed with touching a set of plate armor pulled from the dead Han Army: "beautiful, it's so beautiful!"
In fact, the plate armor is not beautiful, because I don't want to leave any contact that can make the weapon feel sluggish. The plate armor is such a smooth piece, and there is absolutely no beautiful carving.
There are many ornaments on the armor, and there are complex and beautiful carvings or inlays. Generally, they are only worn in activities, that is, armor dresses in military style. The armor type dress was the most developed in the two Song Dynasties, and even the dress made of pulp was made purely for beauty.
The two Song dynasties developed pulp dresses, and even specially developed paper armor for actual combat. It must be said that the paper armor of the two Song Dynasties is not as unbearable as some rumors. Its protection is even stronger than leather armor, that is, it will be very bad in rainy or wet weather.
In addition, the armor in film and television works is purely for the sake of visual beauty. Art is just art. In fact, many films and television have nothing to do with art.
People whose heads have not been pinched by the door must understand that the more simple it is to go to the battlefield, the better. Gorgeous costumes only need to open their mouth for the enemy to deal with themselves. No matter how strong the protection is, they can't stand the enemy's attack. It's easy to be captured, or a fierce soldier of the enemy "plays the big play of" taking the head of the enemy among the ten thousand armies ". (Yue Fei did this to a general of the Liao army and succeeded.)
There is no smelting technology in the Rouran tribal alliance. It's hard to say that the vast majority of Rouran people are poor, so poor that they don't even have an iron piece. All the techniques are quite primitive. It's good to have a set of nice fur clothes. Only a few nobles get armor from the south, and even fewer Rouran people have metal armor.
When the Rouran cavalry fought for the relics of the Han army killed in battle, they put together a lot for a piece of metal. It is normal for good plate armor to break the armor and leather due to the competition, which makes Liga angry to the sky.
"Put to death, all those people!" At last, Liga had only 13 complete armor on hand. Licking her lips, she said, "put away all the weapons and wrap them up."
It is also the Rouran tribal alliance of the slave society. Of course, the biggest slave owner is the Khan. There are more or less rights left. Once Lifa is only under the Khan, the state minister and the state teacher, Liga really has the right to execute the absolute majority of people whose status is inferior to his own. Killing some herdsmen in the war will not be much more difficult than crushing a few ants.
Lijia couldn't wait to put on the armor of the Han army. In the process of wearing it, she also found that the fur coat was troublesome. She didn't care that the clothes picked from the dead soldiers of the Han army were bloody and came with a full set.
"Wait for Lifa, what does this small brand do?"
"Bring it!"
The small sign is a bronze medal. It was originally tied to the neck of the cavalry of the Han army. The words "the third cavalry army, the eighth division, the 39th song, the 155th Tun, the 769th team, the 2227th Shi, Gongshi Sun Bo" are engraved on the face of the sign. The numbers inside are the numbers of a 1 La 1 Bo. On the back of the sign is a description of Sun Bo's figure, as well as his facial features.
Of course, the so-called Arabian number was actually invented in India, but just like Damascus steel, the origin is from India, which can be carried forward in Arabian. The influence of Arabian civilization is far more than that of Indian civilization. It is obviously a product of India, but it has become Arabian.
Liga can't read. Even if she knows Chinese characters, she can't understand those Arabic numerals. After observing it, she found that it looks like a necklace. She wanted to ask her entourage to hang it up. He would do this because he didn't understand the use of the brand. He heard that the original Han army was used as a necklace to learn from it.
"Wait for power?" Li Hong has the same name and surname as Li Hong on the other side of the Han army. He is a right Sima of Murong Yan state. He was ordered to encircle, chase and intercept the Han Army: "is there a friendly army ahead?"
"How do I know?" Liga didn't mean to be rude. The gentle man looked like this: "just wait."
Li you Sima frowned and wanted to say something. Finally, he restrained himself.
Murong Yan state is undoubtedly stronger than the Rouran tribal alliance. It is not impossible to be a genuine General of Murong Yan army, especially a right Sima, who will definitely spit on Lijia's face. If insulted, it is not impossible to kill directly. The problem is that Li you and Sima are used to being the lackeys of Murong Xianbei. Subconsciously, they will feel inferior to the Hu people, and subconsciously they dare not provoke the Hu people.
The Murong Yan army around showed two sides. The genuine Xianbei people stared at Lijia angrily, but the same group of people who were lackeys did not respond at all.
In fact, among the forces of many Hu people, Murong Yan state should be the most gentle to treat the Han and Miao people. It is not like the barbarism and cruelty of Shijie Zhao state, nor the rudeness and contempt of Tuoba generation state. It is very similar to Li Chenghan in some aspects.
Murong Xianbei is an ancient tribe. It began to absorb Han culture a long time ago. It doesn't mind courteous treatment for Han and Miao people who can help themselves. Because of this policy, many Han Miao people are very willing to serve Murong Xianbei, and even some Han Miao people who have served Murong Xianbei for many generations are more loyal than the same group of people.
Liga really doesn't know whether there are friendly forces ahead and how many if there are friendly forces. This is a general character of nomads in the initial stage. They don't pay attention to contact. If they want to pay attention to it, there is no systematic and effective means.
One side fled, the other pursued, and the dust rolled all the way.
Li Hong did not know how many Han troops had been killed or dispersed when they were reduced from 6000 to less than 4000. What he can do is gallop and try to break through the weak points blocked by the Hu people.
The number of Hu Lu cavalry pursuing the Han army is getting more and more. They come from many directions. Later, Bati appears. There are no fewer kings who come to the alliance.
"That direction is Rouran mountain!" Bati looked at his national Minister: "it seems that the Han army came quietly from the mountains over there?"
Rouran mountain was not that name a long time ago. The time when the Xiongnu was the grassland overlord was called Qilian Mountain. When Xianbei became the grassland overlord, it was called Yanran mountain. When Rouran became the grassland overlord, it was changed to Rouran mountain.
Just as the dynasties in the Central Plains have been changing, the overlord of the grassland is also changing his master. If all dynasties count up, Rouran should be the weakest generation of grassland overlord.
Zefu's surname is afukan, which is one of the ancient clans of Rouran. His identity is the Prime Minister of Rouran.
The full name of Bati's surname is yujiulu Bati, while the full name of LIGA's surname is fuwoliga.
Gentle clans are very, very rare. All of them are noble people. What each clan represents is a powerful tribe. Non tribal lineal blood can have "surnames". Surnames come from some branches of those huge clans. The absolute majority can only have "first names", that is to say, there are no surnames and surnames except a very small number of people.
Like Rouran, there are many Hu Lu ethnic groups. Surnames and surnames are absolute luxuries. Many people who want to do great things should have surnames even if they don't have surnames, because surnames and surnames represent the history of a family.
In the era of Tiemuzhen, the Mongol wanted to do great things. When he saw someone, his opening remarks must be "I am the son of XXX, and XXX is the son of XXX". Similar introductions will trace back many generations to let people know who his ancestors were. When others listen, they will think "Oh, it's the offspring of XXX", and then they will naturally think that "since they are the offspring of XXX, their ancestors are so famous and have done great things, they should be worth following".
In fact, there are similar things in the Central Plains. Shouting "I am the descendant of XXX" will be respected or respected by people who know who "XXX" is. They are certainly more willing to follow suit. That is, the culture of the Central Plains changes again and again. Shouting "who I am XXX" may not be enough, but in the grassland, the effect of shouting is infinite.
At the same time, not everyone in the Central Plains has a "surname" or "surname". There are a large number of people with only "surnames", but the popularity of surnames is higher than that of other alien races. (in 1870, after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese Islands issued the civilian Miao character permission order. Ordinary people are qualified to have surnames. Previously, only some big names are qualified. If civilians dare to get a surname for themselves, they will be hacked to death by random knives.)
In Rouran, lineage is far more important than any other force. They have the same mind with the perished small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. They only talk about lineage, not talent and ability.
Zefu can be the prime minister, first of all, it depends not on how smart he is, but on the qualification of his blood line and the strength of the tribe behind him, and then on how much ability he has. He narrowed his eyes for a moment and nodded.
Rouran mountain is close enough to langjuxu mountain. It is one of the few complex terrain around langjuxu mountain. For example, the south, North and east of langjuxu mountain are flat terrain. Really, only the west is the place to hide.
Further west of Rouran mountain, there is a swamp called Xihai. In its southwest, it is a wetland in the North Xihai of the private canal, and next to the North Xihai of the private canal are Zhuoxie mountain and Junji mountain.
"The Han army went north from Heshuo." Zefu spoke slowly. He looked at Zhang Chonghua in the distance and said to Bati, "the cool country is next to Heshuo."
Bati is more concerned about whether the Han army can safely cross the Yinshan Mountain since it goes north from Hetao, which means that Shi Jie's residual forces are over. Then, it seems that there are troops stationed near juyanze (Zhangye) in Zhang's Liangguo. Why didn't you find the movement of the Han Army going north, or did you send the information in time.
The kings on the other side are also talking. What soft people need to think hard, the kings can come to a conclusion after talking to those aides.
"Liang Wang, should we send someone to inform China?" Murong Junli said of course, "Shijie is completely useless. Only Liang Wang can make some strength around Hetao area."
Zhang Chonghua nodded: "naturally, this king will cut off and prevent the Han army from going north again."
The two people happily exchanged views with each other. Tuoba shiyijian, who was ignored, turned blue and white.
The Han army is going north. Don't worry about Shi Jie. What's the reaction of the Xiongnu departments? Among the kings who came to the alliance, Tuoba generation country, which has the most influence and influence over Hetao, but the Han army is going north quietly!
Tuoba shiyijian has a despised anger, which is more or less panic than anger. His panic came from the fact that the Han army could quietly go north. Since it could attack Rouran court from a distance, there seemed to be no problem in trying to stir up the back of Tuoba Dai country. Not only did he fear whether the Han army would invade the northern part of the Tuoba Dynasty, he also worried whether other kings would doubt their involvement with the Han country.
"The alliance is to ask King Yan for an invitation on behalf of the king." Zhang Chonghua's words brought back the soul of Tuoba shiyijian: "would you like to come to represent the king and be willing to do more?"
Murong Jun looked at Tuoba Shiyi Jian with a smile and said "Oh" behind him.
"The king will naturally contribute." Tuoba shiyijian touched the hair on the horse's mane with one hand, raised his hand holding the whip with a gloomy face and pointed to the distance to the Northwest: "now... It's time to make every effort to deal with the Han army."
There is a black line stretching for at least 20 miles on the horizon in the northwest. People with enough combat experience can roughly judge the number from the expansion of the army.
"At least 50000..." Murong Jun frowned: "is it a mystery? Han people like to talk about military strategy in combat and like to engage in some cunning routines."
Whether it's culture or descent, Zhang Chonghua is a Han man. He can't care what to tangle with Murong Jun. he can't help but be surprised: "more than 10000 people in the Han Army go deep into the grassland?"
At this time, Bati came over. He roared angrily, "are you kidding? You must be kidding!"
what do you mean? That is, the state of Han is very far away from Rouran. It is calculated that there are still countries across the presence of the kings, which makes Bati have to doubt something, such as the sincerity of alliance. Then is it too useless for the countries of the kings to let so many Han troops appear in Rouran!
