Chapter 799

It took Li Tan's headquarters two days to March. On the third day, near noon, it was pushed into the ten mile range of the coalition camp dominated by Ding zero.

The reason why it is said to be dominated by Ding zero people is that there are other ethnic groups in the coalition, such as nearly 10000 Di people, and other ethnic groups that are very strange to the Central Plains Dynasty.

The main habitat of Dingling people was called Mobei by the Central Plains Dynasty. In fact, it is the region of Novosibirsk and Siberia in later generations. What is more intuitive is the Asian part of Russia.

The territory of xigaoche and donggaoche is very vast. In terms of land area alone, it is larger than that of the new Han country, which recovered 89% of the old land of the Han family. That is, the population of xigaoche and donggaoche is not too large. The Ding people together look like two or three million. The problem is that not only Ding people live on those lands.

If the grassland is divided according to the color of race, the color of race in the south of Mobei is mainly yellow, while in the north of Mobei is mostly white. The white skin race on the other side of donggaoche is not the mainstream, and nine out of ten on the West Gaoche are white skin race.

Naturally, Ding Ling is the ruling class in xigaoche. However, there are quite a number of ethnic groups that do not belong to Ding Ling. Many of their names are very mixed. If they belong to Slavs according to the definition given by the Romans, they call themselves Qigu, Kun, Yakut, Samoyed... And so on. They do not think they are the same ethnic group, There are differences in living habits and beliefs.

Just as in the strong period of the Huns, those ethnic groups living in xigaoche are subject to the Ding people. They usually pay tribute according to the season and send soldiers to serve when they are called up.

"Some of them... Are not very different from bears." Li Tan said that some soldiers of the vassal race of Ding Ling people: "they are at least two meters tall and have a very strong body, but they have too much hair."

In fact, there are not many tall and strong people in Zhuxia, but they will be scarce compared with the total population. The average height of Han people today is about 1.7 meters. The higher the people in the north, the lower the height in the south.

According to some historical records, the rigid rule for selecting soldiers in the Shang Dynasty was to be one foot tall. The word "husband" did not mean "husband" at the beginning, which was similar to the meaning of "hero". In the Shang Dynasty, Yizhang was 169.5 cm; The measurement of the Zhou Dynasty changed from one foot to 231 cm, and the conscription requirement became more than eight feet, that is, 184.8 cm. In this way, Zhuxia ethnic group is not a short race. It should be said that tall is a common phenomenon.

There is a saying that the spring and Autumn period will be a period of elimination of the genetic strength of the Zhuxia ethnic group. Cold weapons do not talk about "tricks". A war is a face-to-face fight between the two armies. In addition to relying on equipment, they also have to have that physical quality. Only the excellent party can get the right to continue to survive, and the losers will be eliminated.

"It's said that our ancestors once had a period when it was normal to be 1.8 meters tall, and it was abnormal to be less than 1.8 meters tall?" Li Tan looked at some other enemies with a telescope. Those people stood next to the "giant" like a bear and looked extremely short: "they have the same skin color and facial features."

Among Ding Ling people, of course, there are differences in height. Taking the average height, they are definitely shorter than today's Han people. At present, no one can have any scientific explanation for the obvious differences in height of the same species, but simply think that it may not be the same ethnic group.

"The average height of our ancestors was about 1.8 meters, and the average height of our generation dropped to 1.7 meters..." Li Tan looked at the enemies who may not be 1.5 meters tall and said in a very incomprehensible tone, "what's the word? Yes, it's degradation. We are in the stage of degradation?"

For a long time, the average height of Zhuxia has been higher than that of nomads on the grassland. That is the difference between eating habits and nutrient intake, which shows genetic comparison.

For example, the current Han country has absorbed too many naturalized Hu, which actually lowers the average height of Han people. There is a saying that the decrease in the average height of the Han people is the result of the combination with the Chinese Hu people to produce offspring, that is, I don't know whether it is reliable or not.

This Han army was not intercepted until it was within five miles of the Allied camp. On the contrary, some running animals caused trouble to them, which made Li Tan have to worry.

The Han army came to the camp when it was five miles away from the coalition camp. Li Tan personally led people to patrol and investigate. Everything he could see showed that the enemy had built a azimuth system to secure the camp.

"General." Yang Su pointed to the enemy camp and said, "it's difficult to judge how many people are stationed in the enemy camp."

Of course, this Yang Su is not the famous general of the Sui Dynasty, but he may be the ancestor of the "Yang family general" of the Northern Song Dynasty. Like simaang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, he may be unknown, but it is not impossible for future generations to have celebrities or emperors.

The space occupied by the coalition barracks is very large. The whole view shows a distorted shape. It is difficult to see the distribution inside because there is no high ground for overview.

"Their composure seems abnormal." The alien in Li Tan's cognition should not be like this, especially the nomadic people should not have an army to attack. This is the reaction: "you take people to test a wave first."

Yang Suying "promise!" Clap your horse and leave with your own soldiers.

Is there a "Yang family general" in history? Perhaps there is one or more generals surnamed Yang who fought against alien invasion, but the well-known "Yang generals" are of course the product of artistic processing.

In fact, there was no group of "Yang generals" in the Northern Song Dynasty, let alone the existence of "Tianbo mansion". The name of Zhuxia is very particular. Although the "tiger power" of Lao Zhao's family is a relatively weak group of imperial families in previous dynasties, the official's residence is named "Tianbo house", which is not allowed. The emperor is the son of heaven. The word "heaven" in the mansion is provocative. The emperor should clean up first without waiting for the "Yang general" to go to the battlefield to die.

If you are careful, many "Romance" are just stories. The difference is how far they deviate from the historical facts. To say, "Yang Jiajiang" should be one of the works that deviate from the historical facts most seriously. Not only did the residence take the name of "Tianbo mansion", but also the ancestors of "Yang Jiajiang" actually worked for the regime of Hu Lu in the northern and Southern Dynasties and shed blood for the rule of Hu Lu, Made a considerable contribution. However, their descendants did a lot of things, such as fighting and winning in resisting the invasion of Qidan.

Yang Su returned to the barracks under construction to call troops. With the sound of war drums and horns, the troops soon gathered.

While the Han army was stationed and observed, the coalition forces were also observing the coming Han army.

In some ways, the di nationality has absorbed a lot of Han culture. For example, Fu Jian's knowledge of building a camp under the leadership of the coalition army comes from the military books written in Chinese characters. Unfortunately, the quality of Ding Ling people is too poor. In addition, the resources available around them are limited, and the knowledge learned is only three or four tenths.

At this moment, Fu Jian and long Du are standing on the built platform. They don't have such a product as a telescope. They use their naked eyes to pay attention to the movements of the Han army. When they see that the Han army is stationed in the camp, long Du can't bear to send troops to harass them. Fu Jian dissuades them. Fu Jian doesn't make a new move until a Han Army breaks away from the main force and starts to push forward.

"They're here to test." Fu Jian has found that Ding Ling is very easy to get into a state of irritability. He should have stuck to the camp, but he had to let Longdu vent: "if the general wants to attack, it's time."

Longdu's response was to throw away the whip in his hand, keep raising his hands, open his mouth and shout: "warriors, it's time to kill the Han people!"

The sound of cowhide drums being mobilized came from the coalition camp, tents, shacks and open-air places... People constantly responded to the call of Longdu. They should get on the horse, ride on the horse's back, and walk their legs to meet people on foot. The scene looked a little messy.

Fu Jian despised the chaotic scene of Ding Ling people. He had been in xigaoche for nearly a year and a half. He fully understood that it was an out and out nomadic tribe, let alone a mature military system, and the ruling class had no obvious social system. The system was not only inferior to the Central Plains Dynasty, but also worse than the previous grassland overlords.

"They don't look like a overlord at all." Li cunxiao tried hard to hide his disdain and said in a low voice, "the Dingling people in the West are worse than the Dingling people in the East."

"They are two tribes." Fu Jian had enough qualifications to make a judgment: "Xianbei people are called Gaoche people because they can use tall wheels. In fact, the Dingling people in the West were originally tiele people and Dili people, and the Dingling people in the East were Chile people earlier, so they were not the same ethnic group."

Li cunxiao is a Han, born in the begging army. His experience is that after Li Nong's death, he fled everywhere, then went to Fu Hong, and fled around with the remnant of the di nationality for some years. Because of his literacy and good military ability, he served the Fu family as a think tank.

Regardless of their previous names, the habitat of Ding Ling people is really a little far from "civilization", which is not only reflected in some systems, but also in the service and weapons they wear.

At first glance, most Ding Ling people on horseback or on foot don't have decent weapons in their hands. Many people hold sharpened wooden guns, some will be tied with sharp stones or bones, and those who are strong will basically hold maces in their hands. In fact, seriously speaking, under the premise of lacking metal weapons, the wolf toothed stick poses the greatest threat to the armored opponent.

After taking refuge in xigaoche, the di nationality did not have a price. Becoming a nominal vassal was not part of the price. It was that a considerable part of the materials they brought from the Central Plains fell into the hands of the Ding people, including nearly 5000 various metal weapons and almost 100 sets of iron armor, but the Khan who owned the vast majority of the equipment to the Ding people was used to equip the pro army, Only a small number of them came out to the tribal leaders.

"The Han army we are facing is not the Jin army under the rule of Sima royal family. It is a distant dream to fight back to the Central Plains." Li cunxiao was not worried that Fu Jian would be angry. Those were what Fu Hong, Fu Jian's father, said: "the Han army is not short of cavalry. They also have weapons we can't resist."

"Artillery, that's what the Han people call it." Fu Jian kept his eyes fixed on the front. The Dingling cavalry who rushed out first would soon come into contact with the Han cavalry: "the tragic defeat of Murong Xianbei was caused by artillery. That's not a weapon that people can resist with flesh and blood."

Fu Jian didn't know whether the Han Army had brought firearms this time. Anyway, he didn't hear the roar of firearms for the time being, but he was highly vigilant about the sudden explosion.

"With a huge number of cavalry and weapons that people can't resist, what hope do we have?" Li cunxiao was also looking ahead, but he was not interested in the upcoming battle: "young master knows that Ding Ling will not be the opponent of the Han army. Why do you agree to the battle of Longdu?"

"Ding Ling people have some knowledge of the Han Army, but they obviously haven't really seen the power of the Han army." Fu Jian said that ran min once again invaded the West High car, but ran min led about 3000 cavalry to enter the country at most. They fought some harassing wars and rarely broke out positive confrontation: "Ding Ling people must understand the horror of the Han Army, which is good for us (DI nationality)."

Dingling cavalry are shouting. It seems that they are full of expectations for the upcoming collision. With the continuous narrowing of the distance between the two sides, some Dingling people are already preparing for riding and shooting. However, when they really enter the distance, they hear a chorus of "powerful Han Army" battle signals. The next moment is a dense arrow shooting from the Han cavalry.

"Han riding equipment and crossbow riding are standard." Li cunxiao watched as the leading troops of the Ding zero cavalry were shot over. He thought of something and went on: "it's said that the emperor of the Han family annexed a considerable number of losers. Those losers are willing to fight for the emperor of the Han family?"

"Indeed, quite a number of grassland warriors are willing to fight for the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Those Tuoba Xianbei are the most enthusiastic. There are examples of Tuoba Xianbei. The emperor of the Han Dynasty will not lack brave cavalry at all." What Fu Jian saw was the collision between the cavalry of the Han Army and the cavalry of Ding Ling. The next scene was the continuous rolling forward of the cavalry of the Han army. Ding Ling fell off his horse and was trampled into meat and mud: "I hope the Dragon charged himself and was killed by the Han army. Once he died, although we can't get the command of this army, there will still be many benefits."

On the battlefield, although both sides are cavalry, the advantages and disadvantages of equipment show a one-sided situation. Most of Ding Ling's weapons could not cause effective damage to the Han Army wearing plate armor. Only some Ding Ling people with maces could shoot down the Han Army knights, but the sharp weapons in the hands of the Han army could kill Ding Ling's life.

"Here is to delay as much as possible." Li cunxiao looked to the northeast and asked in a very uncertain tone, "even if the partial division successfully raided the location of the emperor of the Han family, it could not kill the emperor of the Han family. What's the purpose of the arrangement, childe?"

Fu Jian was a little stunned and asked back with a smile, "what do you say?"
