227: Xiongnu Cavalry vs Xiongnu Cavalry
Thirty thousand Xiongnu Cavalry—this was Lu Duoha’s sincerity.
It was also the price he had to pay for the safety of his tribal people.
At the same time, Lin Yue also met Lu Duoha’s mother in the Encampment, an eighty-year-old woman who was still full of vigor.
The year she was born, the great ruler King Zhao Wuling was starved to death in his temporary palace due to the Dune Disturbance; when she was twenty and kidnapped by the Xiongnu people, the Qin Dynasty had just built the Great Wall to resist the Hu people.
It was precisely because of her that her husband was able to gradually rise from a small centurion to a Local Official.
She was a very wise woman, which is why this tribe was one of the few in the Xiongnu people Encampment that did not oppress the Qin People.
And at this moment, a dazed Xiongnu people young man stood cautiously before them.
“Aruhan, you will still be the chief Military General of these thirty thousand men, and you will set out with us,” Lin Yue said in a deep voice.
“Yes, Sir!” Aruhan hastily responded. Compared to his father, Lu Duoha, he was noticeably more taciturn and reserved.
name: Aruhan
Identity: Military General (Xiongnu people)
Title: None
Position: Commander of Ten Thousand
Martial Power: 81
Intelligence: 68
Command: 81
Politics: 62
Charm: 78
Loyalty: 77
A Third-rate Military General, this was Lu Duoha’s biological son, who remained here as a hostage.
However, both of them swore allegiance to Lin Yue as their lord, because only then could Lin Yue see their loyalty and choose to spare them.
Otherwise, Lin Yue would not keep a ticking time bomb by his side.
But for now, it seemed good. Lu Duoha’s loyalty was 65, and Aruhan’s loyalty was 77, still some distance from the 60 life-and-death line. At the same time, Lin Yue secretly wondered, could it be that he really became the object of their worship? How could both of their loyalties not be low?
“Aruhan, lead us to the tribes near yours,” Lin Yue said.
“Sir, what are we going to do?” Aruhan asked.
As soon as he spoke, the Generals all burst into laughter. Aruhan was bewildered by this situation and even more at a loss.
Lin Yue saw that he was a bit slow, but he didn’t expect him to be this slow.
What else could these two hundred thousand White Horse Righteous Cavalry do, their eyes now green like devils entering a village, besides a great sweep?
Could it be a community outreach program?
“Kid, Lu Duoha is as cunning as a ghost, how are you so slow?
Are you sure you’re his biological son?
Asking you to lead the way is, of course, to kill people. Could it be to become sworn brothers?!” Du Song laughed heartily.
“Sir, this… this isn’t good.” Aruhan hesitated. Although he admired Lin Yue, he still felt some resistance about betraying the Xiongnu people.
“Aruhan, your tribe has already pledged allegiance to us. This matter cannot be kept secret.
What do you think will happen when they find out that their neighbors, your tribe, have already pledged allegiance to the Qin Army?
Will they unite to attack you and eliminate you, this hidden danger? How many warriors does your tribe still have now, less than ten thousand, right? I’m afraid they can’t even withstand one of their charges.” Lin Yue said with a slight smile.
Since they have decided to pledge allegiance to Great Qin, how can they not offer a pledge of allegiance?
Do you really think Great Qin is so easy to join?
Aruhan hadn’t thought so much before, but now, hearing Lin Yue’s words, he realized that once he set out with the Qin Army, his father and grandmother would both be in great danger!
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but become anxious, “Sir, I know a path, please follow me!”
“Excellent, you are teachable.
Depart!” Lin Yue said with a smile… Xiongnu Cavalry fighting Xiongnu Cavalry. Though they were of the same clan, their blades bit deep, showing no mercy.
The scene was one of flesh and blood splattering, extremely gory. The White Horse Righteous Cavalry watched with interest from the side. Although there were many internal conflicts among the Xiongnu people, this was the first time the Qin Army had witnessed such a sight.
The Generals smacked their lips as they watched Aruhan fight in the formation. Though he seemed a bit slow, he wielded his long spear with fierce power.
Not only that, he didn’t carry the longbow commonly used by Xiongnu Cavalry on his back, but rather twelve iron javelins. He held his spear in his right hand to face the enemy, and whenever there was an opening, he would throw a javelin with his left hand, his movements flowing smoothly and seamlessly. The short-handled javelins weaved through the crowd, always managing to avoid ordinary Soldiers and firmly embedding themselves in the opposing Military General’s body! It could be said that every throw hit its mark, a hundred out of a hundred!
“His javelin throwing skill is not bad,” Zhao Yun said, a rare note of surprise in his voice.
Javelins were mostly used by infantry. Using javelins on horseback made it difficult to control both power and accuracy, and required long training. Therefore, few people used them, as training an archer was much easier than training a javelin thrower, and archers had longer range and higher accuracy!
Aruhan’s ability to throw javelins on horseback, and with his left hand no less, achieving the effect of hitting a willow leaf at a hundred paces, showed the immense effort he had put in!
But human strength has its limits. Aruhan alone could not turn the tide.
Seeing Aruhan’s thirty thousand Cavalry falling into a disadvantage against the opposing fifty thousand Cavalry, Lin Yue finally spoke:
“San Dao, you go!” Lin Yue said.
Among the current White Horse Righteous Cavalry, only Xing Daorong’s White Horse Camp had twenty thousand veteran Soldiers; the rest of the armies were mostly new recruits, with low training levels. This opportunity was perfect for training them.
Seeing blood was the most effective way for Soldiers to improve.
“Understood!” Liu Sandao responded, and immediately, thirty thousand White Horse Righteous Cavalry moved out, heading straight for the battlefield!
Although Liu Sandao’s White Horse Righteous Cavalry had low training, special forces were far superior to the Cavalry of these small Xiongnu people tribes.
Aruhan’s thirty thousand Cavalry, seeing the reinforcements arrive, had their morale greatly boosted!
“Aruhan, I didn’t expect you to really pledge allegiance to the Qin Army! You betrayed King Baiyang, I will kill you!” the opposing Xiongnu Military General roared furiously!
“More words are useless, let’s see the truth in action!” Aruhan said.
At the same time, he had now made up his mind that he must eliminate the surrounding tribes, otherwise his own tribe would truly suffer their combined attacks!
At that time, his clansmen would absolutely have no way to resist!
“Men, follow me and kill him!” the opposing Military General shouted.
He knew that the Qin Army surrounded them, and he could no longer escape. He might as well take this opportunity to cut off Aruhan’s head and let the other Xiongnu people see the fate of a traitor!
Aruhan’s several personal guards also closely followed Aruhan’s steps, charging towards the enemy!
The two sides were on the verge of clashing!
“Kill!” Liu Sandao also joined the fray, and the entire situation instantly turned into a one-sided battle!
The fifty thousand Cavalry on the opposing side scattered in an instant, but the Soldiers behind Liu Sandao still did not let them go.
They now desperately needed blood to calm the agitation within them.
“The enemy Military General is dead!” A loud shout, like a thunderclap, exploded on the battlefield!
Aruhan, now like a hero in the center of the battlefield, raised the enemy Military General’s head, receiving the cheers of the crowd!
“This kid, his ability isn’t great, but his voice is certainly loud,” Xing Daorong said with a dissatisfied tone, digging at his ear.
Pan Feng smiled knowingly, paying no attention.
