As soon as he heard about two thousand heavy armored cavalry, Zhao Jun felt a sudden shock in his heart. It wasn't because he was afraid, but when it came to heavy armored cavalry, who in the world had more?
With blast furnace ironmaking and hydraulic forging technology, he is definitely the easiest force in the world to create heavy armor.
A mere two thousand sets of heavy armor were not taken seriously by him at all.
However, for the Huns, this is not right!
With the Xiongnu's smelting level. Coupled with the Central Plains' strict defense against him, it was impossible for them to obtain two thousand sets of heavy armor.
So he immediately asked: "Two thousand sets of heavy armor, do you know where the Huns came from these two thousand sets of heavy armor?"
The messenger who came to report immediately raised his hand and replied: "After catching a few tongues and interrogating them, I learned that these two thousand heavy armors are all heavy cavalry guarding the Hun royal court.
He was the bodyguard of Tila Shanyu, the Hun.
And Tila Shanyu took away many craftsmen when he invaded the Central Plains last year. "
When the messenger said this, Zhao Jun already understood.
No wonder the Huns, who had always been short of iron and technology, were able to come up with two thousand sets of heavy armor at once.
So that's it.
He also knew something about the Xiongnu invasion of Hedong last year, and some of the secret guards also reported it to him.
But what I didn't expect was that this time the Huns actually had a brain. I originally thought that the Huns took away only some ordinary people, but I didn't expect that they actually took away a group of craftsmen with technical skills.
This lift is not easy!
Zhao Jun sighed with emotion, and then asked: "What is the situation of the Tatar tribes now?"
The messenger immediately said: "After the Bounty Group defeated the Huns' invasion, the last two large Tatar tribes immediately formed a joint army with 50,000 people each, and the other tribes also sent people, and the final total was 300,000 cavalry.
However, without heavy armored cavalry, they were always at a disadvantage facing the Huns' two thousand heavy armored troops.
They can only keep retreating. Now the Huns have penetrated more than two hundred miles into the Tatar grassland, but they are still advancing. The tribes are already panicking! "
Zhao Jun probably understood the current situation when he heard this.
It seems that the Huns are really planning to give the Tatars, who have been harassing them, a hard blow this time.
After destroying the bounty group, the 200,000-strong army and 2,000 heavy cavalry continued to penetrate deep into the Tatar grassland, showing no signs of stopping at all.
Although the reorganized coalition forces on the Tatar grassland were large in number, they did not have the means to withstand the heavy cavalry, so they could only retreat in the face of the heavy cavalry.
The beaten wolf ran away.
It would be fine if the Huns just destroyed the bounty group and then retreated.
But now he has penetrated deep into the Tatar grassland as if he were in no man's land. This is a provocation to him, the Sky Khan, and based on the current situation, I am afraid that unless he takes action, the Tatar tribes will not be able to stop him at all. Huns army.
Zhao Jun immediately decided to take action.
Then he immediately ordered Wang Huaien: "Convene everyone to discuss matters!"
"promise!"
Wang Huaien responded and immediately walked quickly outside.
When he was going out, he happened to meet the prince who had come to see what was going on with an urgent messenger from thousands of miles away. The prince pulled him and asked him about the situation before letting him go.
After Wang Huai'en left, Zhao Ming walked into the guest hall with a solemn face and asked Zhao Jun: "Lao Liu, do you really want to go to war with the Huns? I heard that the Huns already have two thousand heavy armors, and there are also Two hundred thousand troops were dispatched.
Such a lineup is not easy to deal with. "
In response, Zhao Jun smiled confidently and said: "Brother Prince, don't worry, it's just two thousand heavy armored cavalry, I haven't taken it seriously yet.
Now I am the Heavenly Khan of the entire Tatar grassland. The Huns invaded the Tatar grassland because they did not give me the face of the Heavenly Khan.
If I don't take action in this situation, won't I be considered a soft-footed shrimp in vain?
Therefore, this battle must be fought. Not only must it be fought, I also want to scare the Huns once and for all!
Didn't he think he was invincible just by robbing some craftsmen and putting on some armor?
This time, I will use my iron armor to let them know that in front of me, his little iron armor is just my younger brother! "
"younger brother?"
Zhao Ming looked at Zhao Jun with a strange expression.
Only then did Zhao Jun realize that his eldest brother might not be able to understand what he was trying to do, so he explained: "In front of me, he is not even a Gill!"
Now Zhao Ming understood, but said with a straight face: "Lao Liu, as a member of the royal family, how can you speak like this? It's so inappropriate!"
Zhao Jun shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "I'm just a rough guy. I'm used to talking like this. Anyway, that's probably what I mean."
Zhao Ming frowned and was about to say something more, but Zhao Jun immediately said: "Oh, people should have arrived. I have to go to discuss the matter quickly. The military situation is urgent. Let's talk to the prince brother next time. Let's talk next time!"
With that said, Zhao Jun ran out of the reception hall in a flash, leaving Zhao Ming standing there in shock.
Wang Huai'en has obviously just left, is this palace so annoying? Are you using this excuse to fool me?
…
The military meeting of Yunzhou County was soon held in the conference hall.
In addition to the usual administrative officials such as Jiang Ming, Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning were also present.
After some deliberation, it was immediately decided at the meeting that Yunzhou County would send 100,000 troops this time!
Fifty thousand regular troops and fifty thousand armored heavy cavalry!
That's right! Fifty thousand armored heavy cavalry!
Aren't the Xiongnu arrogant and arrogant with two thousand heavy armored cavalry?
Then open their eyes! Let them know what dimensionality reduction is called, and don't show off in front of wealthy families with just a small amount of money.
When it comes to heavy armor, Xiongnu is a younger brother!
Of course, with so much heavy armor deployed, supporting auxiliary troops are indispensable.
A heavy armored cavalry must be equipped with at least four auxiliaries.
One person is responsible for feeding the horses, two people are responsible for taking turns to resist armor, and the last person is responsible for bringing the weapons, equipment, food, etc. to be used.
During the war, these four people have to help the cavalry and war horses put on armor and take off the armor after the war. It can be said that one person is missing.
In other words, for 50,000 heavy armored cavalry, Yunzhou County must recruit at least 200,000 more auxiliary troops.
Yunzhou County is not worried about this. It will be enough to recruit a group in Yunzhou County and then let the Tatar tribe send out a group.
After deciding on the intention to send troops and making arrangements, Yunzhou County issued a war notice to the entire army that day.
At the same time, auxiliary soldiers and civilian men who transported grain and grass were recruited from the whole county.
It was early spring and it was the busy farming season. Not many Song people in the county applied for civil servants and auxiliary soldiers, but many naturalized Tatars and some Japanese who heard the news were very active.
At a certain construction site, Ichiro has been in Yunzhou County for more than a year. Although he has been working in construction sites and mines for more than a year, he has learned Mandarin with his excellent language talent.
When I learned about this from the people passing by, my heart immediately moved.
In the evening, when a group of Japanese slaves were resting, Ichiro suddenly whispered about this matter to his companions who came out from the same village.
"Shi, have you heard? The Song master here seems to be going to war. I heard that he is recruiting auxiliary troops."
Shi Tiantian had been busy all day and was very sleepy. When he heard this, he just gave a perfunctory hum and replied: "Well... I heard it, so what? It has nothing to do with us."
Ichiro lay on his back on the bed, looking at the ceiling, listening to the snoring around him and murmuring: "I want to give it a try."
"Go, go, I have to go to work tomorrow, go to bed early..."
Shi didn't quite hear what Ichiro said, so he mumbled a few words and fell asleep.
Ichiro did not wake him up again, and was alone and quietly thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
