Chapter 498 Monster Guards
The Xiongnu's imperial will was running low, and if there was no place to support them and allow them to recuperate, they would fall apart.
Without the imperial will to mobilize the army, once this generation of guards grows old, the Xiongnu Empire will also disappear.
What will be left is only a Hun with glory but no heritage. At that time, the Hun will be truly dead.
But now, the Huns still have the Northern Huns Guards, which are still quite powerful and are the capital for the Northern Huns to dominate the world.
Therefore, King Zhuiri had great confidence in the Northern Xiongnu Guards, as they were the most capable troops on the grassland.
Of course, this is based on not fighting against the Han Dynasty . Other empires would not just burn down their courts to fight against them, but the Han Dynasty is different. When the two sides meet, there must be an empire with the will to die.
Therefore, even during the weakest and most divided period of the Han Dynasty, the Northern Huns only dared to make simple attempts and did not dare to move south on a large scale.
The Northern Huns are also afraid. What if a pervert suddenly appears on the opposite side? What should they do then?
If they lose this time, the Northern Huns will be in real trouble.
However, that was a problem that the Xiongnu Khan should consider. King Zhui Ri didn't want to think about it at all. The Han soldiers had already come to his doorstep. If he didn't fight back, he would not be able to continue to be the Xiongnu king.
So King Zhui Ri immediately unleashed his legion talent and led the Northern Huns Guards to charge towards Ju Yi.
The Sun-Chasing King’s legion talent effect is burning. As the twenty-fourth king, he has developed this talent quite well.
Using oneself as a furnace, burning one's internal energy, physical strength, and will, which finally manifests as temperature, can be considered a development from the two aspects of dedication to the empire's will and resistance to the environment.
The theoretical upper limit is immeasurable. After all, a star is just a burning star.
"Here they come! Only four thousand guards?" Ju Yi stared in surprise.
It is not about marveling at the strength of the Northern Huns’ Royal Guards, but rather marveling at the weakness of the Northern Huns.
There are only 4,000 guards, whose number is not even as large as the first group. What kind of enemy are they? Isn't this just trying to give himself credit?
However, Ju Yi soon discovered the extraordinary qualities of these Northern Hun guards.
The Northern Huns' Royal Guards took out their bows and arrows and shot at the halberd soldiers. Thousands of arrows flew, and even though the halberd soldiers dodged frantically, almost 30% of the arrows hit them.
"They are actually horse archers?"
Ju Yi frowned. This didn't make sense. How could the Northern Huns maintain normal archers when their resources were insufficient?
In today's world where talents are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the right talents can dramatically increase the combat effectiveness of a type of soldier.
As the vanguard troops, the Halberd Soldiers' eyesight and predictive abilities are naturally excellent.
Basically, ordinary archers have no chance of hitting them, but 30% of the arrows still hit them, which means that at least one of the opponents has a talent for archery.
“Fight back!”
Ju Yi signaled Xiandeng to launch a tentative attack. It would be too fake if Xiandeng continued to hide his abilities.
The first soldiers carried out Ju Yi's orders very well. Many of them shot arrows based on their feel without mobilizing their military spirit at all.
They are hiding their true abilities and packaging themselves as variants of the Shesheng Camp in order to confuse the Northern Huns' Imperial Guards.
Because the military spirit was not mobilized, this wave of arrow rain seemed a bit sparse, but it still generally performed at the level of a double-talented archer.
King Chasing the Sun sneered and ordered his men to shoot back. The night was not a big problem for them, not to mention that they were glowing now.
Ju Yi was a little confused. Archers should be shooting while moving. What's the point of riding horses if they just stand still and shoot?
However, the next moment, an astonishing scene made Ju Yi frown, completely unable to understand how the other party did it.
The Northern Hun guards swayed strangely in the interplay of moonlight and firelight, deflecting several phantoms.
At the moment when the arrows were shot out to counterattack, several phantoms appeared in front of the Northern Hun guards , and then the sparse rain of arrows all hit the ground directly and missed at all.
It was as if it was a performance that had been rehearsed countless times, and it was a reproduction of the most perfect scene, gorgeous and perfect without the slightest mistake.
"Precognition?"
"phantom?"
"Combat experience?"
"No, that's not right, it's a skill!" Ju Yi rejected his own guesses again and again, and finally found the most unreasonable, but the most reasonable explanation.
"It's a bit troublesome!" Ju Yi's eyes were no longer casual. The difficulty of the Northern Huns' guards exceeded his imagination.
He still understood the status of the Northern Huns' Royal Guards. This was a military soul corps without the power of military soul, and moreover, it was the most suitable technical military soul for inheritance.
As expected of the Northern Huns, they have such weird military spirit characteristics, which is simply incomprehensible.
Generally speaking, this type of inherited military soul is pitifully weak among the same level, and is basically just a blood pack to replenish the soldiers of other legions.
However, it is understandable that the Xiongnu Empire, which was so powerful at the time, specially created a military soul to pass on. At least this thing can maintain the inheritance stably and ensure the lower limit of an empire.
"But where does so much military soul power come from?"
Ju Yi still had many doubts in his mind. He was also the founder of the Military Soul Corps. The consumption of using the power of the Military Soul to forcibly transform soldiers was astonishing. He wondered where the Huns' Military Soul got so much Military Soul power to transform soldiers.
But in a flash, Ju Yi understood.
He was also a general who participated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and was aware of the existence of the imperial will.
"Squeeze the will of the empire and forcibly transform the power of the military soul?"
Ju Yi's cold eyes were filled with disdain. After hundreds of years, the Huns were still living off their past glory. No wonder they were defeated by the Han Dynasty and could only hide in such an icy and snowy place to survive.
But no matter how disdainful Ju Yi was, he knew that this kind of legion was very troublesome.
A traditional legion naturally cannot be composed of pure archers, or in other words, they are truly all-round troops.
The skills passed down for hundreds of years were melted into the Zhelan Cavalry, the Xiongnu King Cavalry... and a series of other military skills that the Xiongnu were proud of, and finally these monsters were melted into a monster.
It can be said that this monster has reached the pinnacle of skills. What's more terrifying is that this skill has been refined for nearly four hundred years, and can even be traced back to the pre-Qin period. It can be said to be a truly terrifying monster.
The skillful movements of the Northern Hun guards on galloping horses and the ease that is almost engraved in their bones are enough to prove their mastery of the inherited skills .
The skills to deal with any legion that was hostile to the Huns had been passed down early on, and almost instantly the Northern Hun guards found ways to deal with the attacks instinctively.
"Qi is indeed the number one enemy of the Han Dynasty. His strength is really astonishing!"
Ju Yi also restrained his previous contempt for the Northern Huns, knowing that his plan to destroy the entire camp had failed.
