The Xiongnu king, Hale Chanyu, led an army of 500,000 Xiongnu soldiers, which stretched for hundreds of miles in a mighty and imposing manner, with camps connected like clouds.
However, these Hun soldiers were wearing short coats with leather armor on top, crotch-less pants on the bottom, and leather riding boots.
He wore a horse bow across his body and a saber at his waist.
Although the Xiongnu had many horses, their iron smelting technology was different from that of the Dagan.
Only the tribes of the Xiongnu King, the Left and the Right Guli Kings had relatively backward iron smelting technology, so most of them were light cavalry wearing leather armor.
Some of those metals were used to forge sabers, arrowheads and other weapons.
After all, the amount of metal needed for a piece of armor is enough to forge countless arrowheads and sabers.
Some of these were troops brought out by Haller Chanyu from the royal court, and some were warriors gathered from other tribes.
Without the Left and Right Guli Kings, the others were at most medium-sized tribes and it was impossible for them to question the orders of the Xiongnu King.
“What a pity, if it weren’t for the ban.
We can't raid the surrounding valleys. If we launch a frontal attack, who knows how long it will take." At this moment, the complaint of a small tribal leader broke the silence in the Xiongnu tent.
There were about twenty or thirty people in the tent at the moment, some of whom were generals and sons of the Xiongnu king, and some were leaders of other tribes.
Among them was the leader of a small Hun tribe who couldn't help but complain.
You have to know that in previous battles, their advantage was cavalry harassment to achieve results, but that is no longer the case today.
The Hun king listened to the voice, frowned as he sat on a chair covered with wolf skin.
"If I could..." Hearing that man was about to speak, the Hun king grabbed the wine bowl and threw it at the leader of the small tribe.
With a "bang", the wine splashed, the bowl shattered, and the man fainted and fell to the ground.
"If you make such remarks again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Haller Chanyu shouted angrily.
There was silence in the big tent and no one dared to speak.
This person's words were meant to secretly express his dissatisfaction with the fact that Heaven and Man lost the battle. This was disrespectful to Heaven and Man!
But if there were no celestial beings, what would become of these Huns?
The King of the Xiongnu naturally knew, are the Xiongnu important to the gods?
Maybe, but they have already become extraordinary and become celestial beings, so why are they still fighting for the Huns?
It's nothing more than psychological comfort and reputation. Do you want to exterminate the Huns by talking like this?
You know, if it weren't for those celestial beings, they wouldn't even be qualified to fight this battle.
These tribes lack a certain respect for the gods.
Perhaps the higher the status of a person, the more he respects the gods. This was true for the Emperor Daqian and the King of the Xiongnu.
“Control the tribes if they cause any disturbance to the people.
It was wiped out, no wonder I didn't remind you." The Xiongnu king stood up and glanced coldly at the tribal leaders.
These people are unruly and it would be difficult to suppress them if we don't use some means.
Glancing at the tribal leader who had been knocked unconscious, the Xiongnu king said, "This man is disrespectful to the gods. According to Xiongnu sacrificial rituals, he should be burned at the stake as a sacrifice to the gods.
Since the matter is urgent, his family members should be executed first, and his tribal soldiers should be taken over by the leader of the Youyue tribe."
In the end, the Xiongnu king decided to kill one person to warn the rest. After this incident, no one dared to propose looting again.
After the man was dragged out, the Xiongnu king met with the leaders of the tribes and asked, "Lulong County is the first obstacle to the Erlangmen attack. I wonder what you think."
Lulong County is a gateway for invading the north. Most of the northern desert and the north are grasslands.
But there are still many mountains in the terrain, and the grasslands are between these mountains.
There are mountains on both sides of Lulong County. If the Xiongnu army does not capture Lulong County, it will be difficult for them to fight around the city.
It is like a nail stuck in the throat. If we go around the city, the supply will be blocked.
A great master came out and said that this man was originally a subordinate of the twelfth prince, but later the twelfth prince died.
Naturally, he had nowhere to go, so he finally surrendered to the Xiongnu king.
Originally, he had no qualifications to come here to discuss matters, but as a Dagan native, he naturally knew some information about Dagan.
The Xiongnu king also wanted to gain a reputation for recruiting talented people, which qualified him to participate in the discussion.
However, it might be difficult to recruit talented people. Those who come to join the Huns can only be political prisoners who can no longer survive in Dagan.
In any case, they didn't really have anywhere to go.
"I wonder if General Wang has any advice for you." The Hun king asked when he saw the man coming out.
Grandmaster Wang said, "I have some connections with wealthy businessmen in Lulong County.
These wealthy businessmen were left behind by the Twelfth Prince, and it is because of them that they can trade with you, the King.
But now that the Xiongnu and the Dagan are trading, the rich merchant's trade route is naturally of no use.
Moreover, if the investigation is strict, their crimes may be exposed, and then their property will be confiscated and their families will be exterminated.
At the same time, the previous emperor killed corrupt officials on a large scale, which led to political instability.
A large number of people who were dissatisfied with Emperor Da Gan came to the north. When they saw the king coming, they respectfully welcomed the royal army.
I have communicated with them, and while the main force of the Xian Dagan is still in the county city, they can cooperate with our army to open the city gates."
Although Lulong County is an important city, it is also a county town and cannot accommodate many troops.
Therefore, in their imagination, the main force of Da Gan should still be in the county town.
There is the most food and the city walls are the highest.
Even if Lulong City was occupied by them, Da Gan could use the number of people and the county city to form a second line of defense.
