    The sky is blue and the wilderness is vast.  In spring, fireflies dance on the prairie, which is full of greenery.  A scene full of life.  A strong wind was blowing, and there were no traces of cattle or sheep on the ground. There were only countless flags fluttering in the strong wind.  And these flags represent tens of thousands of magnificent armies!  With a white horse and a silver spear, Zhao Yun Hengqiang, majestic in appearance and wearing exquisitely crafted cloud-patterned full-body armor, immediately galloped back and forth in front of the huge military formation.  The long snow-white tassels on the beautifully crafted helmet fluttered in the wind, making him look even more heroic.  Behind him were nearly 10,000 men and horses, all armed to the teeth and extremely elite Han cavalry.  Since the vanguard troops of the Han army commanded by Zhao Yun took the lead out of Yanmen County and went north to the grassland, they swept through the grassland like a wind and the remaining clouds, and went straight to the royal court, but in the end they failed.  After learning that the Han cavalry was pouring into the grassland, the wise kings of the Southern Xiongnu sent a large number of envoys in all directions to summon the herdsmen everywhere to prepare for the battle.  After Zhao Yun defeated the royal court, he led his troops to the location of King Youxian who was closest to him.  The grassland covers a large area, but most of the suitable pastures for grazing have been carved up by the various powerful tribes on the grassland.  As a necessity for the survival of the entire tribal race, the Southern Huns, who were almost exterminated under repeated attacks, only found this place to recuperate after becoming the grandson of the Han Dynasty.  Spring, when all things revive, is the time to add fat and meat to livestock, and the herdsmen grazing everywhere are unusually scattered.  The Han army, on the other hand, used cavalry to attack completely, taking advantage of the enemy and advancing very quickly.  When Zhao Yun led the vanguard soldiers and horses to kill King Youxian, he went to the base of Beibu.  Qubei had just gathered more than 30,000 herdsmen from the nearby area.  The nobles of the Xiongnu knew much more about the Han Empire than the Xianbei people in the north.  After all, they have been in love and killing each other for hundreds of years, and it is difficult to understand each other.  They understood what it meant for nearly 100,000 Han cavalry to enter the grassland.  After being sternly rejected by Gao Yang to pray for surrender.  It's not that they don't want to run away, it's just that the most important property for these nomads is those large livestock.  How could it be possible to move such a large herd of livestock and hundreds of thousands of people to a distant place in a short period of time?  Carrying out large-scale migration when enemy troops are pressing down on the border, something that requires a high degree of organization, is definitely not something that the Huns can do.  The road communication in this era is poor even for the most advanced and powerful men, let alone those nomads who have no technology at all.  If you want to gather the herdsmen and their livestock scattered in all directions and move on a large scale, it will take a very long time just to notify people.  This period of time was enough for Gao Yang's army to fight back and forth on the grassland several times.  "Blow the trumpet!" Zhao Yun, who was reining in his horse, pointed his spear in the air and shouted loudly to the lieutenants behind him.  ¡°Buzz~~~¡± The dull horn horn sound spread throughout the battlefield with the wind, and the Huns in the distance began to stir slightly.  After all, they are just a group of ordinary herdsmen.  On weekdays, there are group fights when fighting for pasture and livestock. When have you ever seen such a truly organized army?  The Southern Xiongnu have attached themselves to the Han Dynasty for more than a hundred years.  Except for the royal troops who were recruited by the Han Dynasty to fight in various places, the rest of the herdsmen had long lost the fierceness of the Maodun era.  They had never fought against regular armies, and the royal army that had fought a formal war had already been completely wiped out.  "Blow the trumpet!" King Youxian Qubei was a tall man.  An old man with a beard.  His huge rosy nose and crimson face showed that he was an authentic Huns.  Qubei, who had fought for the Han Dynasty when he was young, knew well the power of the Han army.  Understand that there must be no retreat at this time.  Because once they retreat, it means the rapid collapse of the herdsmen who have no organizational discipline at all, and the collapsed herdsmen can only end up being killed by the sword under the pursuit of the Han cavalry.  The only thing that can be done at this time is to fight tit for tat and fight to the death.  With both sides getting ready for war, the huge military formation began to move slowly.  Zhao Yun was promoted from a small school captain by Gao Yang, and quickly became a general in command of the army in such a short period of time.  And it is ranked in the pass.  It is impossible to say that he is not grateful to Gao Yang.  Even in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, titles were still very rare rewards, especially titles.  Li Guang Nanfeng is the best example.  As a natural cavalry general, Zhao Yun quickly showed his strength after being quickly promoted.  The more than 10,000 cavalrymen under his command were trained extremely well, and they showed great strength when they conquered rebellions everywhere under Gao Yang's orders.  This time when Gao Yang went north to conquer the grassland, when the army set off, he?It has been made clear that it is impossible to give the title of Champion to anyone again.  However, generals who have made great military exploits can enjoy the same sacrificial treatment as Huo Qiaoqi, and even stone carvings in temples can be placed next to Huo Qiaoqi!  This is definitely a great encouragement.  For the generals who value their reputation, there is nothing more exciting than Huo Qiqi.  This is what is said about leaving a name in the history books and lasting through the ages.  Huo Qubing.  It is a monument that all Han soldiers will always look up to.  "Attack!" Zhao Yun suddenly swung out the spear in his hand, and used his legs to push the horse under his crotch to rush towards the Huns on the opposite side.  Behind him, the sound of bugles sounded loudly, and the deep and deep war music with a chilling meaning resounded throughout the grassland.  The iron hooves flew and the grass splashed everywhere.  The huge torrent of steel began to accelerate forward like a tide, and the strong pressure made the Huns on the opposite side tremble with fear.  Looking at the huge military formation surging in like a tide, no army can deal with it calmly.  This is a real steel army.  The top material science experts in modern time and space specially developed special alloy materials for the Han army of this era in accordance with Gao Yang's requirements.  Excellent strength and toughness, yet very light weight.  It perfectly solved the problem of insufficient number of cavalry and horses under Gao Yang's command and insufficient carrying capacity.  Let every cavalry become an elite.  At the same time, after being forged using large-scale hydraulic presses in modern factories, the strength of the produced appliances exceeds that of all similar products.  During this year, all the cavalry under Gao Yang¡¯s command were trained using modern cavalry tactics.  The equipment also heavily adopts the route of combining the advanced armor brought by Gao Yang from modern time and space with the products of this time and space.  no way.  If all armies were finished products produced using modern time and space, bringing Gao Yang over would have a considerable impact on the time and space channels.  As for raw materials, the processing technology here simply cannot do it.  In the end, only about 30,000 elite cavalry received high-tech products from modern time and space.  Includes full set of half armor.  This kind of armor, which is hard on the outside and soft on the inside, with an inner lining, can even resist hard crossbows fired from a distance!  The defense strength is almost the same as that of a heavy metal shield.  Not to mention the soft bows used by the Huns.  In addition to armor, there is also a full set of horse gear, helmets, visors, weapons, spare weapons and equipment, etc.  The war horse is also wearing a full-body metal horse armor.  This kind of horse armor with strong defense but light weight was a godsend for the Han army, whose horses had begun to deteriorate in quality.  As a general whom Gao Yang admired very much, the vanguard cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun were all equipped with these advanced technological products.  When this metal army was bathed in golden sunlight and roared towards the Huns.  The Righteous King of the Xiongnu Qubei closed his eyes in pain and murmured in a low voice, "It's over." Arrows were flying all over the sky.  Swords and guns flew back and forth in the military formation.  The screams of countless people and the screams of war horses were mixed with shouts and curses, and the howling and painful sounds together played the battlefield march.  Groups of men and horses fell in a pool of blood. Whether they were dead or still alive, falling to the ground in such a densely fought area meant being trampled into a pulp.  In this most primitive violent confrontation of mankind, well-trained and well-equipped killing machines are obviously much stronger than those chaotic herdsmen.  Their organization is more rigorous, their killing is more effective, and their morale and will to fight are stronger.  Once the nomads who are good at riding and shooting are unable to exert the power of bows and arrows, they will lose most of their combat effectiveness.  These herdsmen who use soft bows can deal with the herdsmen who also wear animal skin armor, but now they encounter the professional army under Zhao Yun, whose entire body, including men and horses, is wrapped in solid metal.  They can only be cups.  At this time, only those vulture shooters who were extremely rare among the Huns and could use the very rare iron-tied strong bows could shoot these metal cans at close range.  However, there are too few of them.  In this kind of large-scale war, which is measured in units of tens of thousands, it is almost an inconspicuous little wave, and it disappears without a trace after a few tossings.  The strength of the eagle shooters is not unlimited, not to mention that they still need to pull the extremely powerful iron bow.  Moreover, the Han army was not blind, and these condor shooters were quickly targeted.  After Gao Yang reorganized the Han army's establishment, he established a regular army of 10,000 people.  In addition to the generals who command the troops, each army will of course also have corresponding deputies.  The deputy Gao Yang assigned to Zhao Yun's Ten Thousand Cavalry Legion was Tai Shi Ci, whose archery skills during the Three Kingdoms era were definitely better than those in the top three.  The Han army had basically eliminated bows and arrows at this time, and both infantry and cavalry all used powerful serial crossbows.  This kind of workmanship is relatively complicated, butEquipped with a full set of parts, advanced weapons that cannot be assembled and used even if they are missing even an inconspicuous small part can only be used on a large scale by the Han army.  Even if other forces obtain it, they cannot use it on a large scale.  Because of the complicated workmanship, it is extremely difficult to imitate.  Especially the metal drawings were all brought over by Gao Yang from modern time and space.  The level of smelting here is simply unimaginable.  The huge difference in technology is enough to determine the life and death of the soldiers on the battlefield!  (To be continued.)
