Li Hong's Han army only gave up after a brief pursuit of the collapsed Rouran cavalry, because there were scouts on the periphery who warned with wolf smoke, and several groups of Hulu cavalry were approaching quickly.
Now is not the time to calculate the results of the battle, and even the Han army's very popular beheading is only a few of them, mainly to find the dead or wounded robes and pack some things.
Seeing that the goal of stimulating the Hu people was achieved, Li Hong did not directly lead the army back to the position of the valley, but continued to march in the southeast direction.
About two quarters of an hour later, a group of Hu cavalry arrived at the place of the battle, and when they arrived, they dismounted directly, and what they did on the battlefield was to collect what they were interested in and could use, and did not collect the corpses.
After the battle on the grassland, after the battle, unless it is some people who are related by blood, otherwise no one will really bother to clean up the bodies of the dead, and they will be exposed.
In less than two quarters of an hour after the battle, there were already many vultures on the battlefield after the battle, and they ignored the arrival of a living person, destroying the human body with a sharp peck, pecking a piece of fresh meat and raising its neck to swallow it in its stomach.
Not only vultures, but also some carnivorous birds and animals are also active in the site after the fight, but in addition to vultures, they are still afraid of the living, and most of the "corpse eaters" left after the appearance of the Hu cavalry.
Liga had long been accustomed to animals eating dead bodies, and what he wanted to know most was if his people could find something useful.
The Rouran Tribal Alliance is relatively primitive, and the primitiveness indicates the directness of the pursuit, and Bati wants to participate in the alliance of kings, which is a completely indifferent attitude for most of the Rouran tribal leaders.
The leaders of the various tribes of Rouran, they only cared about one thing the most, what benefits they could get in that alliance, and it had to be the kind of benefits that could be seen and obtained quickly.
"Dear Tong Lifa, we searched all over the battlefield, and the Han army only left some dead war horses, but did not find the rest."
The biggest of Rouran is, of course, the Khan, and there are many official positions under him, Tong Lifa is also known as Tong Zhihua, the position is very high, held by the Khan clan, and he is in charge of the military power of one side.
In fact, the title of Khan is the "new generation", and the supreme rulers of all ethnic groups on the steppe before were called Shan Yu, which is a kind of relic under the Xiongnu system.
After waiting for Rouran to replace the Xiongnu as the new overlord of the steppe, the khan also replaced Shan Yu as the supreme ruler, which is equivalent to the beginning of another era.
From the beginning of softness, there has been no single honorific title on the steppe since then, and the subsequent Turkic, Khitan, Mongolian and other backward generations, one of them is counted as the honorific title of the Khan, as for the single or something, to hell with it.
Rouran not only has an impact on the honorific title of Khan, but also has an official system that affects generations of grassland tribes, and the official titles will change, but the responsibilities are basically the same.
The reason why the Rouran culture affects the steppe tribes for many generations is quite simple, it is that the Turks who rose later came to a system similar to the Han Cheng Qin system, and the Turks almost completely followed the system of the Rouran people, and the Turks were once strong enough to let the inheritance be continued, and then it has to be said that the steppe nomads are not creative, and if there is a ready-made one that can be used, I don't want to spend more brains.
"Isn't it said that the Han people are very rich" Li Jia hurried over, just to be the first to clean up the battlefield: "Could it be that those southerners deceived us?"
There is really no problem for the Rouran people to call the Xianbei and other Hu tribes southerners, just like Donggaoche calls the Rouran people southerners.
This is determined by its geographical location.
"We" Liga was about to speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a long black line on the distant horizon, and he squinted as hard as he could: "Are there any of us in the southeast?"
No one can answer Liga's question.
Many Hulu learned that the Han army was approaching the former site of Wolf Juxu Mountain, and Bati intended to show force to temporarily terminate the alliance attack, and the rest of the kings would certainly not object.
The area around Wolf Juxu Mountain is now the territory of the Rouran people, there are quite a lot of tribes, and under the premise of no long-range means of communication, no one knows how many tribes will find that the Han army will come to intercept it, and then there are quite a lot of teams dispatched from Wolf Juxu Mountain, and it is really difficult to identify whether it is their own people if they are far away.
Liga didn't bother to think about it, but according to the instinctive command of the commander: "Let people gather." ” The sound of bull's horns was blown, and the Rouran people, who had not gained anything, scolded and leaned closer to each other, and they didn't pay much attention to the appearance of a large group of people in the distance.
The Rouran people are notoriously known for being considered by the surrounding ethnic groups to have only muscles and no brains, and they can suffer losses repeatedly in the same thing, but they don't have a long memory.
Donggaoche and Rouran are at war, both sides are considered to be a nation with little knowledge, everything is done by relying on experience and hard work, Rouran people are stronger than Donggaoche in force, so they can be regarded as having the upper hand in confrontation.
On the horizon in the distance was the Han army, which was after Li Hong marched to the southeast and found that there were tens of thousands of unknown troops in the southeast.
There are only so many Han troops on the grassland, Xie Ai is near the valley with the main force, and for Li Hong's Han army, "unknown" means hostile.
Li Hong didn't want to lead his troops to break through to the southeast, he was cruising in the vast grasslands, and when he met someone who could fight, he felt that he couldn't beat it, so he would take a detour, and the ultimate goal was to attract enough hatred so that the enemy could follow behind his ass.
"It's the Rouran cavalry again."
Li Hong is expected to have a telescope, and the advantage in the distance of vision is not half a point: "There are no other enemy troops within 30 miles of the surrounding area, so you can do it again."
The grassland is really flat, depending on the number of people, how far the two sides can find each other, and generally the number exceeds a certain level and the need for concealment is in special terrain.
Liga instinctively gathered his troops, they didn't know what formation, they just piled up in such a loose pile, and the slightest thing that was remarkable was probably that they all stayed on horseback.
The Han army had a uniform uniform, which was probably the only one of the eastern countries and forces, and they began to slowly accelerate when they approached Liga, a group of Rouran cavalry, within ten miles.
Shili was still vague to the naked eye, and Liga realized that something was wrong because the arriving team did not act according to the etiquette of the grassland.
When two teams meet on the grassland, neither can interfere with what the other party does when they are still far away, but after the distance between the two sides is close enough, neither side can let the speed soar, and the speed is a battle that is about to break out.
There will be such a custom, because the tribes of the steppe will not lack horses at all, and the fighting on the steppe is a battle between cavalry, and there is no slowdown but acceleration, which does not mean that there is hostility or anything.
Liga drank "ride" in his mouth, patted his legs on the horse's belly, and waited for his mount to move before shouting: "Enemy attack" On the other hand, Li Hong, who was observing with a telescope in hand, was already happy because he saw a relatively distinctive Daxu.
It is a dance set made of feathers or an ornament on the emperor's chariot, it is the banner of the army or honor guard in ancient times, and all ethnic groups will have similar things, waiting for the civilization of the Chinese Miao descendants to develop to a certain point, the feathers of the silk are replaced by cloth woven items, and the nomadic silk has always retained the original characteristics.
There are quite a few levels, and the more ornate the wielder, the more noble or powerful the holder, and the magnificence is reflected in what kind of animal skins and feathers are made of.
Li Hong didn't know the difference in official positions of the Rouran Tribal Alliance, but he understood that the more special the Hu people, the higher the status, and he originally launched an attack with excitement, and he would inevitably become excited when he found that he caught a big fish, as for his own side only more than 6,000 cavalry, and the other party had at least 20,000, he didn't think there was any problem.
The Han army is accelerating, but not letting go of the gallop, only the commander who does not understand the cavalry will be stupid to accelerate with all his strength when he is far away from the enemy, and if he really waits for the war horse to engage his own side, it should be a physical disadvantage.
War horses need a certain degree of warm-up before fighting, and the Han army has always been in a cruising state, and it has been warmed up early.
Li Hong thought that he knew how to command cavalry, and when he saw that the enemy army was within four miles of his own side before he moved, the corners of his mouth immediately flashed with a smile.

Liga hesitated.
Of course, he knew that his side had come from afar, and that he had stayed where he had been for a quarter of an hour or so, and that his mount had been on the road for a while, and after resting, the sweat of his horse had been blown dry, and it was very difficult to get into a state fit for battle again.
The reason why he hesitated was that it was difficult to judge the endurance of the Han army's mount, including how high the speed could be and how long it could gallop.
The enemy army is about 5,000 or so, and Liga can already see a little bit of what the Han army looks like: it is really very rich, and all of them are shiny The so-called shiny, that is, the reflection of sunlight on the smooth plate armor of the light source.
The plate armor is a dull silver color, and the rest of the joints are dark copper, reflecting the light of metal when the sun is shining.
Whether there are metal minerals in the ground of the grassland is the same for the nomads, they have no exploration technology, even if they are lucky to find open-pit mines, there is no smelting technology, so the nomads on the grassland have always been in a state of extreme lack of metals.
It seems that he will soon catch up, Liga has sufficient experience in cavalry combat, and he is also greedy for the shiny Han army: I have 20,000 cavalry, and the Han army is only about 5,000, even if it is a loss in speed, four to fight one, even if the losses are heavier, there is no reason not to beat Metal, the metal that had been made into armor and weapons, and Rouran's desire for them was so great that Liga was willing to trade them for at least ten thousand men.
He also thought of a point, there are several friendly armies approaching around, it is not just 20,000 against thousands, and after a long time, reinforcements will appear, so he thinks that he should fight a dozen.
Liga didn't directly collide with the attacking Han army, he let more than 3,000 people collide with each other, and the rest of the cavalry bypassed each other, spending more time adjusting the state of the war horse.
The more than 3,000 people who were sent out were the death squads in Liga's eyes, and they didn't expect to get many kills and casualties, they simply used the engagement to slow down the speed of the Han army.
His knowledge also decided one point, that is, he didn't expect that the death squad could disrupt the formation of the Han army to some extent, all because Rouran didn't know that there was such a thing as a formation at all.
The battle between the two sides began with the exchange of arrows, the difference was that the crossbow arrows shot by the Han army had a long enough range, but none of the arrows fired by the Rouran cavalry could touch the Han army.
After firing each other, the two sides immediately entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, and the cavalry staggered with each other, and it was inevitable that some cavalry would collide directly, and the scene was called chaotic enough.
After all, they are all fighting in a state of high-speed movement, so that the rhythm of the cavalry fighting is very fast, but the fast pace does not mean that the final victory can be decided for a while, on the contrary, after the cavalry fights, unless one side retreats immediately, it is difficult to decide the victory or defeat in an instant.
Li Hong found that the front was becoming empty, and without looking back, he pointed the horse chopping knife in his hand at the big pole not far away.
The sound of horns sounded "woo", which was the order of the Han army to charge again.
Liga, who was on the periphery, had a feeling of being scared to pee, he was trying his best to observe just now, and the three thousand daring cavalry sent out were only one of them intertwined, and there were no more than five hundred who could live and wait for each other to be chiseled, and the remaining daring cavalry didn't know whether they were faint or what the situation was, and they dispersed directly after chiseling through each other.
The shock of the Han army's loss of no more than two hundred liga was this, and he even found that some of the Han army had returned to the battlefield to collect the war dead on their own side As long as the Han army has the opportunity, it will definitely bring back the body of the dead robe, getting back the equipment is secondary, and sending the robe to Valhalla is the main thing.
For every Han soldier, living to earn military merits and be rewarded, and returning to Valhalla after the battle can also enjoy incense, and the ashes are best placed in Valhalla, and it is still a little interesting to get a crown instead.
Everyone wants to take back the ashes after their death, and no one can guarantee that they will not die in battle on the day they die.
Li Hong was originally going to attack the location of Daxu, but his eyes caught the wolf smoke in the distance, and he yelled with a gloomy face: "Detour, get away" Of course, if you can kill the important people of the enemy army, you can't kill them, don't hesitate, the cavalry is the most jealous of greed, and you can't even delay a breath when you should escape, otherwise it is very likely that you will all fold in because of one breath.
Liga soon found that the Han army was in a detour, and he saw the inexplicable wolf smoke the next moment, and kept yelling with a hideous face: "Bit, you must bite, kill them, rob them of armor and weapons" That's right, what the Rouran people want is those shiny standard equipment.
Dividing line There was a bug before, and the current Rouran Khan should be Bati, not Tuga Zhen.
Bati is the son of a Tunu puppet
