Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"No, it's Zhao Guo cavalry!"

Hundreds of Zhao cavalry suddenly rushed out from another corner at the foot of the mountain, heading towards the Huns.

When the centurion of the Xiongnu saw Zhao's cavalry, which was far more numerous than himself, he yelled in his heart that it was not good, and ran towards the place where the horses were at the bottom of the mountain, shouting loudly: "Quick, run away!"

"Whoosh!"

Before the Xiongnu centurion's shouting was over, a sharp arrow cut through the air and pierced the Huns centurion's throat with incomparable accuracy.

Chapter 2 Zhao Guocavalry Five Hundred Master Li Mu (first update)

What suddenly appeared in front of the Huns was a 500-man Zhao cavalry.

These Zhao cavalrymen all looked resolute, and many of them looked quite similar to the Huns in front of them. They were the Linhu and Loufan cavalry from the five northern counties of Zhao.

And the one who killed the Hun centurion with an arrow just now was the leader of the Zhao cavalry, the young leader of the five hundred Zhao army Li Mu.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and five hundred Zhao cavalrymen sat high on the saddles, bowing their bows and setting arrows together. The dense rain of arrows instantly covered the dozens of Xiongnu soldiers who had not had time to meet their mounts.

These Xiongnu cavalry were all dressed in simple leather clothes. The leather armor on a few of them was completely useless under the dense arrow rain, and a large area was shot over on the spot.

After the rain of arrows was covered, there were only a dozen or so Huns who could still stand.

These Huns had no intention of fighting at all, and one by one got on their horses and fled desperately.

Li Mu sneered, took out another sharp arrow from the quiver behind his back, bent his bow and drew the string.

"Now that you're here, just leave your heads behind!"

The bow is like a full moon, and the arrow is like a shooting star.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The Xiongnu cavalry fell to the ground with arrows one after another, and then the Zhao cavalry who were caught up took their heads.

Li Mu drew his bow and shot again, and the arrow hit the hind leg of the last Hun knight who was still fleeing. The horse couldn't maintain its balance under the pain and fell to the ground. The Hun cavalry on the horse was thrown away like a shell , drew a parabola and fell heavily on the ground, the whole person was thrown to pieces, not knowing east, west, north, south.

When the Hun cavalry finally came to his senses, he realized that he had been surrounded by Zhao cavalry on horseback, with murderous looks on their faces, cold flashes of swords and blood dripping.

The Hun cavalry yelled, and was so frightened that he fainted.

A puddle of water slowly flowed out from the crotch of the Hun cavalry, making the grass even a little wet.

This scene obviously surprised all Zhao cavalrymen, they couldn't help but looked at each other, and they all felt a little funny.

"Five hundred masters, what should we do?"

Li Mu was also a little speechless, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Wake up this Hun and ask about the situation!"

Due to years of fighting against nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu and Donghu, the five northern counties of Zhao already had their own unique defense mechanisms.

Once the Xiongnu appeared in the five northern counties, they would communicate with each other through the beacon tower.

Once the neighboring counties find that there is no Huns invading, they will start to send a small number of troops to support the invaded counties first, and the large troops will wait until the arrival of the King of Handan and the soldiers.

This time, the 500 cavalry led by Li Mu came from Jiuyuan County.

Since his military exploits in the First Battle of Dai County, Li Mu's title has been promoted to the sixth rank, and his position has also been promoted to five hundred masters. He was transferred from Gaoquesai to Jiuyuan County, just in time to be ordered to help.

After receiving Li Mu's order, several Zhao cavalrymen jumped off their horses happily, and carried the unconscious Xiongnu cavalry towards a small river not far away.

After a while, these Zhao cavalrymen returned to Li Mu with a human head in their hands as if nothing had happened: "The five hundred masters, I have already asked. Cloud City has gone.

"Cloud City?" Li Mu frowned, and asked, "Does anyone know the way to Cloud City?"

A cavalryman from Zhao Guolou said: "Master Wubai, Yunzhong County is where I grew up when I was young. It takes about three days to go southeast from here, and one day on a fast horse."

Although this is a Loufan barbarian, he speaks Zhao Guoyu quite fluently. If you don't look at the face but just listen to the accent, you can't tell that this is a barbarian.

The reason for this is because of a sentence that King Zhao Wuling said back then.

"Hu Qi's actions are erratic. If you want to drive them away or submit to them, only soldiers are not enough to do it."

It was under such policies that Zhao Guo did not kill them all after defeating Lou Fan, Lin and Hu. Instead, he coerced and lured them to take them for his own use. The people of the country will get food from the country of Zhao every year, and gradually begin to integrate into the country of Zhao.

The fluent Zhao language of this Lou Fan cavalry is a proof of Zhao Guo's policy. In fact, among the 500 Zhao Guo cavalry led by Li Mu, at least 400 people are Lin Hu and Lou Fan.

After all, in the era when stirrups, saddles and other horse gear were not popular, the cost of training a cavalry for nomads was almost zero, which was hundreds of times stronger than that of farming peoples.

Li Mu looked at the subordinates around him, and found that many of them had heads of Huns hanging beside their saddles, but since there were only a few dozen heads of Huns, it was obviously not enough.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Then continue down south and follow these Huns!"

As a veteran who has been stationed in Gaoquesai for several years, Li Mu is still very clear about the details of the Huns.

Generally speaking, the numbers of the Huns are full of water, and one Wanqi generally has 6000 people.

Unless it is the elite cavalry directly under Huli Shanyu, it is basically impossible for the Xiongnu's Wanqi to reach 9000, and Huli Shanyu's command now only has a direct subordinate Wanqi of [-] men.

The thousand cavalry of such a small tribe of the Xiongnu only survived with 700 people, which is not much different from the [-] Zhao cavalry led by Li Mu. Li Mu even felt that his chances of winning were a little higher.

Li Mu pulled the reins of his horse and led the [-] Zhao cavalry behind him to the south to chase the Huns.

This run is two hours.

It was already sunset, and a small village suddenly appeared in front of Li Mu. Several thick smokes rose from the village, the howling autumn wind brought a few faint screams, and there were livestock running around outside the village.

"Not good!" Li Mu's heart tightened, his legs subconsciously clamped the horse's belly, and he began to speed up.

After surrendering to the State of Zhao, some Linhu people and Lou Fanren gradually got used to the sedentary life after decades, and began to live together with the Zhao people. This is how this small village came about.

Logically speaking, after seeing the beacon towers of the Great Wall, the county magistrate should send an order to all the localities, and the residents of Shili Baxiang should withdraw to the nearby cities as quickly as possible, but this village did not retreat for some reason.

But this moment is no longer the time to worry about this. Li Mu has led his subordinates quickly approaching the village while the horseshoes are flying. The panic and screams of the people.

A small group of Xiongnu cavalry was cruising outside the village. Whenever they saw villagers fleeing, they would gallop after them on horseback, hacking and shooting wantonly.

The dripping blood dripped from the blades of the Huns cavalry, coupled with the ferocious face and wild laughter, it showed the misery and helplessness of the people of Zhao State.

"Bastard!" Li Mu's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he took the longbow from his back.

The distance between the two sides shortened rapidly.

It wasn't until this time that the small Xiongnu cavalry outside the village noticed the billowing smoke from Li Mu's troops, and quickly recognized the identity of Li Mu's troops.

"People from the state of Zhao, they are the cavalrymen of the state of Zhao!" A Hun centurion yelled in panic, apparently never expecting so many cavalrymen of the state of Zhao to appear here at this time.

Li Mu took a deep breath, strung the bow, drew it fully, and aimed.
