Chapter 497: The Dilemma of the Northern Huns
"What a pity. This was a spur of the moment decision. It would have been better if I could have brought some tung oil!" Ju Yi expressed great regret.
The so-called night attack, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than murder and arson.
The spreading flames are the best partner for night attacks. War horses and the like, without their masters, can be easily frightened by the flames.
Without horses, the Huns would be completely helpless. The Huns, whose skills were all focused on cavalry, would have their strength reduced by at least half without horses.
It’s a pity that the vanguard and the halberd soldiers can hardly carry enough food, let alone other supplies.
"Die!"
Just when Ju Yi was leading the halberd soldiers to suppress the resisting soldiers in front, a Northern Hun general who looked like a noble suddenly roared and rushed towards Ju Yi.
Ju Yi didn't understand, but looking at the other party's momentum and expression, Ju Yi automatically figured out what this guy meant.
"Come on! I want to see how strong you are!" Ju Yi sneered and released internal energy from his body. Then the originally dark blue internal energy instantly began to burn and began to transform into blood color.
Ju Yi, who had been promoted to the state of internal energy leaving the body, was fighting with others for the first time with the power of military soul.
The general who rushed over should have his internal energy leaving his body. When their weapons collided , he was obviously at a disadvantage, but he stubbornly resisted Ju Yi's attack.
“Go to hell!”
Seeing how powerful Ju Yi was, the Northern Huns general burst out all his internal energy and slashed at Ju Yi without even defending himself, just to seriously injure Ju Yi.
Ju Yi reluctantly gathered his strength and began to fight with the Northern Huns' generals. If he could move to another place, he would trade injury for life, and he would do it directly.
But he couldn't do that in the Northern Huns' camp. He was not a brave warrior and he couldn't afford to get hurt.
When the two swords collided, Ju Yi felt a huge force surging over him. He was about to be forced back, but then another huge force surged from his body.
"Open it for me!"
Ju Yi followed his feeling and increased his strength, and the Northern Hun general who originally had the upper hand was knocked away in an instant.
Without time to think, Ju Yi immediately chopped out with his knife.
The Northern Hun general who was knocked flying was directly cut in half. The smooth cut even made people begin to doubt the reality of the world.
"What is this? The effect of my talent?"
Ju Yi was stunned. He actually absorbed the power of the Northern Huns general and used this power to kill a very difficult enemy directly.
"Absorb, store, and release?"
Ju Yi frowned and thought about the effect of his talent. He found that he seemed to have underestimated his talent. This talent actually perfectly matched his setting for the original version of Xiandeng.
"Bastard! Give me your life!" There was another roar, and another general with internal energy leaving his body rushed towards Ju Yi.
Ju Yi was very dissatisfied with his thoughts being interrupted, but he also knew that the battlefield was not a good place to think.
I had no choice but to put aside my guess about talent and face the internal energy rushing out of my body.
Fortunately, this internal energy is weaker when it leaves the body, so Ju Yi was able to handle it with ease when commanding the halberd soldiers to fight.
He was waiting, waiting for a perfect opportunity to attack. Xiandeng had only one chance to attack. If he could not defeat the elite forces of the Northern Huns in one go, he would have to slip away.
King Zhui Ri appeared not far away on his mount, calmly observing the halberd soldiers under the command of Ju Yi, as well as the vanguard soldiers who were hiding their heads in the background.
"You have only 10,000 Han infantry troops, and you dare to attack my tribe? Do you really think you are invincible?"
King Zhui Ri was very angry. The concentrated fire from the vanguard just now almost killed him. Fortunately, he had the amulet given by the high priest, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
When it was confirmed that the attacking force had only more than 10,000 people, King Zhui Ri's anger directly ignited his reason. This familiar plot reminded him of the genius who left a mark in the history of the Xiongnu.
But that was an invincible cavalry, and now there were only more than 10,000 infantrymen in front of him.
As we all know, infantry is at a natural disadvantage against cavalry. Except for some special types of troops, cavalry is the uncrowned king on the battlefield.
King Zhui Ri was very clear that the enemy must have taken advantage of the ice and snow to launch the attack.
Although ice and snow have a great impact on ordinary cavalry, the Northern Huns' ace troops, the Northern Huns' Royal Guards, do not care about this terrain restriction at all.
It's just ice and snow, it will melt away. For the Royal Guards, this environmental restriction is nothing.
What concerned him was only the type of the first one to land.
"They are actually crossbowmen? This kind of attack effect should be achieved by the Changshui Camp and the Shesheng Camp?" King Zhuiri was very familiar with the military configuration of the Han Dynasty. He even once disguised himself as a Hu person and visited the Han Dynasty for inspection.
His understanding of the Han Dynasty was still stuck in what he had known ten years ago, but as a dark horse that had only risen in recent years, King Zhuiri had no way of understanding Xiandeng.
"It doesn't matter. Under the trampling of the royal guards, no matter they are archers or crossbowmen, they will have the same fate!" King Zhui Ri sneered as he looked at the assembled troops.
"God Kunlun is protecting us!" King Zhui Ri shouted, and suddenly a light like a burning flame burst out from his body, covering all the Northern Huns guards.
As the last madness of the Xiongnu Empire's will, this generation of Xiongnu almost drained all the imperial will, and the terrifying violent military force produced twenty-four Northern Xiongnu Guards.
In addition to the one that served as a stepping stone for the Yulin Guards in the Western Regions, there was a full complement of military souls, and the remaining 22 Northern Xiongnu guards were all exposed by the will of .
Taking into account some of the Northern Huns' own troops, the number of the entire Northern Huns' guards reached nearly 80,000.
It was a huge force, which was why the Northern Huns could still maintain the title of empire in the face of all empires except the Han Dynasty.
However, the Northern Huns still could not return to the grasslands in the south.
In their heyday, they had more than 240,000 guards, multiple military souls and three talents, and millions of elite soldiers, but these were of no use.
No matter how strong they were at the beginning, their imperial will was still shattered by the Champion Marquis.
It's just that their imperial will was only shattered by Huo Qubing back then, and only the dignity of being an empire was taken away, while the actual power remained.
This is also the reason why the Han Dynasty had an extra military soul, because the Han Dynasty won.
However, the shattered imperial will could not be repaired by itself. Over a long period of time, it was tossed around in the process of repairs and natural dissolution by the Northern Huns.
Until the death of Shi Le at Yanran, the possibility of recovery was completely lost, and the Northern Huns could only use them as a weapon to mobilize their troops.
