superior.

Han cavalry helmets have visors, and some even have visors. You only need to lower your head slightly, and even if you are hit by a light arrow, there will be no serious damage. However, most war horses do not have any protective equipment on their heads.

There is a horse visor, but it only protects a small area and cannot protect the horse's head completely. Especially the horse's eyes, nose, ears and other parts are relatively weak. If injured, although it may not be fatal, it can easily

It causes the war horses to become restless and frantic, causing them to jump and run around causing chaos in the queue.

The arrow fell.

The arrows jingled and jingled in the Han army formation.

The scene looks lively, but in fact it doesn’t have much effect...

The Han army's counterattack is coming!

In front of Ugo, an unlucky man from the same tribe was hit by an arrow from the Han army. His tattered leather robe could not block the arrows from the Han army at all. He screamed, clutched his stomach and fell from his horse to the ground.

Added some blood red color to it.

Although the two armies were just throwing missiles at each other, after encountering the Han army's counterattack for the first time, Ugo's hands couldn't help but tremble a little, and his lower body even felt a faint need to urinate...

Not everyone can immediately become violent like a prehistoric beast when they go to the battlefield. Most people are still ordinary. Even as the leader of the tribe, Ugo does not kill people every day, or is used to the existence of death.

, even if he had psychological expectations in advance, he never thought that his proud bow and arrow skills would be ineffective, nor did he expect that the Han army's defense would be so strong.

A strong fear of the unknown struck his heart.

The Han army is facing a headwind!

Even shooting against the wind caused nearly thirty people on the Nomadic side to fall in this round...

Although thirty people may not be a lot in terms of the overall number, it did cause quite a shock to the entire Ugo side, because compared to the losses suffered by the nomads, the Han people were almost unscathed.

The second round of light arrows was fired, and the battle damage on both sides was still the same. Even the nomadic side's arrows lost their accuracy even more, and many even fell in the open space...

Many nomadic people speeded up their horses and tried their best to escape from the shooting range of the Han army in the rear. Naturally, they would not be shot by the Han people. But similarly, these people could not shoot the Han people. Although even their light arrows could

It may not have any lethality if shot, but at least it is an obstacle, or a small threat.

The sweet wind urges the horse.

"A bunch of cowards! Run, run, run with a hammer!"

Gan Feng cursed, feeling very unhappy.

Gan Feng originally thought that there was going to be a hearty fight, but when he urged his horse forward, the nomadic barbarians on the opposite side quickly turned into fleeing. The changes in the middle were so smooth that Gan Feng was a little confused.

mad.

Such a huge battle at the beginning!

That's it?

That's it!

"Holy shit! Melon rind!"

The guard beside Gan Feng urged his horse forward, and when he got to Gan Feng's side, he shouted loudly, "General! Ten miles! It's almost ten miles!"

Gan Feng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glanced behind him. He didn't seem to see any special signal from Zhao Yun, so he shouted: "Ten miles as usual! Send the signal to the general!"

The general mentioned by Gan Feng was, of course, Pingbei General Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was slightly surprised when he found that the Hu people did not fight head-on, but just ran away. Because from Wuhuan to Xianbei, as well as the Dingling people, they would at least charge head-on, and then they would think of escaping and retreating when they couldn't, like

The barbarians in front of me all fled out of respect before they had a formal fight, which was really rare.

But this does not mean that Zhao Yun has no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Gan Feng directly bit the Hu Ren's ass and chased him, while Zhao Yun followed slowly, without having to gallop to consume

The horse's endurance also made it easier to dispatch scouts in all directions.

It's obvious that the other party is preparing to ambush, but Zhao Yun still doesn't know how many people the other party has come and how many soldiers are ambush...

Of course, the most important thing for the Northern Territory Protectorate is to be able to control the Northern Territory Desert.

The jurisdiction of the Northern Territory Protectorate is not half of the desert, nor the so-called safer area around Changshan Camp, but the entire Northern Territory!

Otherwise, calling someone by a name that does not live up to the name is not what Zhao Yun wants. So the sudden appearance of the Hu people made Zhao Yun a little curious. After all, these people do not seem to be Xianbei, nor do they belong to the Dingling people. Could they be the remnants of Jiankun?

Or some other tribe?

When he first arrived at Changshan, Zhao Yun's knowledge of the northern desert was limited to the tribal names such as Xianbei Wuhuan Dingling, etc. He only knew the structure of these guys: left and right kings, left and right kings of Guli, left and right generals, and left and right generals.

The chief captain, the left and right major households, etc. thought that this was the basic overview. However, as time went by, the more Zhao Yun learned about the Northern Desert, the more he discovered that he did not know.

The desert in the northern region is really huge.

From the Xiongnu to the Xianbei, it is not a fixed hierarchy like the inheritance of the Han family. In many cases, even the Xiongnu and Xianbei themselves may not know how many tribes and populations there are in the desert.

Just like if Zhao Yun had not come into contact with Rouran people, he would not have known that there was actually Jiankun Kingdom in the north of Rouran, let alone sent Zhang He to fight in Jiankun.

So what kind of situation does this sudden appearance of the Hu tribe belong to?

Are they the desert reinforcements invited by the Ding Ling people after they were unwilling to do so?

Is it a brand new tribe that I have never encountered before?

Is it a trap set by pretending to lack weapons?

As the first line of defense of the Han Dynasty in the Northern Territory, Zhao Yun certainly cannot be satisfied with defense or simple victory. He feels that he has this responsibility to know more and master the situation of this land. Of course,

This also includes these newly emerging barbarian tribes.

The Huns don't like to shave their heads. Most of them comb their hair back like the Han people, and a few of them shave their heads.

Most Xianbei people who were born in Donghu like to shave their heads, and the styles of shaving are different. Some shave the middle of the head, some shave the sides and leave the middle, and some shave two grooves and divide the hair into three parts...

Both the Dingling people and the Qiang people like to wear hats. The Qiang people's felt hats are shorter and flatter, while the Dingling people's hats are taller and more pointed.

Wuhuan people basically have everything, including shaved heads and hats, but they generally don’t braid their hair, and they like to use animal horns, teeth, precious metals, gems, etc. as head decorations...

These newly appeared Hu people did not seem to belong to the Xiongnu, nor did they belong to the Hu people tribe in Xianbei. Anyway, Zhao Yun failed to determine which part of the Hu people should belong to them. Anyway, these Hu people made Zhao Yun somewhat curious.

Soon after, the "ambush" that Zhao Yun had guessed finally appeared...

Zhao Yun did not immediately go to rescue the ambushed Ganfeng troops, but once again sent scouts to investigate the surroundings. However, when these scouts came back with some confusion, they reported that they had not found any other hidden troops.

When it happened, Zhao Yun even felt a little unbelievable.

Is this an ambush?

Is that all?

That's it?

That's it!
