Sweep the World

Chapter 805: : Not the same era

It took two days for Li Tan's subordinate to march, and it was only close to noon on the third day that it advanced to Panshili, a coalition barracks dominated by Dingling people. . Fastest update

The reason why it is said that it is dominated by Dingling people is that there are other ethnic groups in the coalition forces, such as nearly 10,000 Di people, and other ethnic groups that are very strange to the Central Plains dynasty.

The main habitat of the Dingling people was called Mobei by the Central Plains dynasty. In fact, it was the area of ​​Novosibirsk and Siberia in later generations. A more intuitive impression is that it belongs to the Asian part of Russia.

The combined area of ​​Xigaoche and Donggaoche is very vast, but in terms of land area, it is larger than the Xinhan Kingdom, which has recovered the old land of the Han family. That is, the population of Xigaoche and Donggaoche is not too large. There are many people in Dingling. The total number of Dingling people is about two to three million. The problem is that Dingling people are not the only ones living on those lands.

If the grassland is divided according to the skin color of the race, the skin color of the race in the south of Mobei is mainly yellow, and the white race in the north of Mobei is mostly white. The white-skinned race in Donggaoche is not. It is the mainstream, while Xigao is the most white-skinned race in the top ten.

The Dingling people are naturally the ruling class in Xigaoche, but there are also many ethnic groups that do not belong to the Dingling people. Their names are many and very mixed. If they belong to the Slavs according to the definition given by the Romans, they would call themselves the bones. Kun, Yakut, Samoyed, etc. Many names are not considered to be of the same race, and there are differences in living habits, beliefs, and so on.

Just like the times when the Huns were strong, the ethnic groups living in Xigaoche obeyed the Dingling people. They paid tribute according to the seasons and sent out soldiers to serve when they were called up.

"Among them...some of them are not much different from bears." Li Tan was talking about some fighters of the Dingling vassal race: "They are at least two meters tall, and they are also very strong, but they have too much hair on their bodies."

There are actually many tall and strong people in Zhu Xia, but they are scarce compared to the total population. The average height of the Han people today is about 1.7 meters. The height of the people in the north is higher, and the height of the people in the south decreases gradually.

According to some historical records, the rigid rule for selecting fighters during the Shang Dynasty was one foot in height. The word "husband" did not mean "husband" from the beginning, but was similar to "hero". In the Shang Dynasty, one zhang was 169.5 centimeters; in the Zhou Dynasty, the measurement was changed, and one zhang became 231 centimeters. The draft requirement became more than eight feet, which is 184.8 centimeters. If you look at it this way, the Zhuxia ethnic group is really not a small race, it should be said that tall stature is a common phenomenon.

There is a saying that the Spring and Autumn Period will be a time when Zhuxia’s ethnicity is genetically strong and weak. Cold Weapon does not talk about "trick". The battle is when the two military halls are fighting directly. In addition to relying on equipment, they also need to have that body. Quality, only the excellent side can get the right to survive, and the loser will be eliminated.

"I heard that our ancestors used to be 1.8 meters tall for a period of time, but less than 1.8 meters is abnormal?" Li Tan looked at some other enemies with binoculars. Those people stood beside bear-like giants. Appears extremely short: "The same skin color, facial features look no different."

Of course, the Dinglings also have different statures, and the average height is definitely shorter than the current Han. Now no one can have any scientific explanation for the obvious difference in stature of the same species, but simply think that they 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 had dropped to 1.7 meters..." Li Tan looked at the enemies who might be less than 1.5 meters tall, and said in a very incomprehensible tone: "Yes. What's the word? Yes, it means degradation. We are in a stage of degradation?"

For a long time, the average height of Zhu Xia has been higher than that of the nomads on the grassland. That is the difference between dietary habits and nutritional intake, which also shows a genetic contrast.

It seems that the current Han country has absorbed too many naturalized Hus, but it actually lowered the average height of the Han people. There is a saying that the decrease in the average height of the Han people is the result of the combination of the Chinese Hu people and the offspring, but it is not reliable or not.

This group of Han troops did not encounter interception until they reached the range of Panwuli of the coalition barracks, but some stray animals caused trouble for them, and Li Tan had to feel suspicious.

The coming Han army stopped to garrison when it was five miles away from the coalition camp. Li Tan personally led people to roam the reconnaissance, and everything he could see showed a little bit. The enemy had built a position system and wanted to secure defense. Yingzhai.

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

This Yang Su is certainly not the famous general of the Sui Dynasty, but he may be the ancestor of the "Jiang Yang" in the Northern Song Dynasty. Like Sima Ang in the late Qin Dynasty, he may be unknown, but his descendants may not have celebrities or emperors.

The coalition’s camp occupies a lot of space, and it looks like a distorted shape. It is difficult to see the distribution inside because there is no high ground for an overview.

"Their composure seems abnormal." Li Tan's perception of alien races shouldn't be like this, especially the nomads should not have an army to attack. This is the reaction: "You lead people to test first."

Yang Suying "Promise!" Paima left with his soldiers.

Is there a "Jiang Yang" in history? Perhaps there was one or more generals surnamed Yang who fought against alien invasions, but the well-known "General Yang" is certainly a product of artistic processing.

In fact, in the Northern Song Dynasty there was no such a group as the "Jiang Yang", let alone the existence of such a sky-defying "Tianbo Mansion". Zhu Xia was very particular about naming. Although Lao Zhao’s "Huwei" was a relatively weak group among the royal families of the past dynasties, the name "Tianbo Mansion" was not allowed. The emperor is the son of heaven, and the mansion has the word "heaven" to provoke. You don't need to wait for the "General Yang" to go on the battlefield and die, the emperor should clean up first.

If you are careful, many "romantic stories" are just stories. The difference is how much they deviate from historical facts. In terms of "Jiang Yang", it should be one of the most severely deviated works from historical facts. The name, and the ancestors of the “Jiang Yang” actually served in the Hulu regime during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and contributed to the Hulu’s rule. However, their descendants did a lot of things, such as fighting against the Khitan invasion.

Yang Su returned to the army barracks that was being constructed and ordered his troops. With the sympathy of the drums and horns, the troops that went into the battle quickly assembled.

While the Han army was stationing and observing, the coalition army was also observing the coming Han army.

In some ways, the Di ethnic group has absorbed a lot of Han culture. For example, the knowledge that Fu Jian presided over the coalition to build camps came from the military books written in Chinese characters. It is a pity that the quality of the Dingling people is too poor, and the resources available to the surrounding areas are limited. The knowledge learned is only three or four out of ten.

At this moment, Fu Jian and Long Du were standing on the high platform that was erected. They did not have a product like a telescope. They used their naked eyes to follow the movements of the Han army. When they saw the Han army in the camp, Long Du pressed I couldn't bear to send an army to harass and was dissuaded by Fu Jian. Only when a Han army broke away from the main force and started to advance Fu Jian could he make a new move.

"They are here to test." Fu Jian has found that Ding Ling is very easy to enter a irritable state. It should be good to stay on the camp, but he has to let Long Du vent: "If the general is going to attack, it is just time."

Long Du's response was to throw away the horse whip in his hand, and he kept making inspiring movements with his hands, opening his mouth and yelling: "Warriors, it's time to kill the Han people!"

The thick sound of the mobilization of the cowhide drums was heard in the camp of the coalition forces, in the tents, in the shack, in the open... He moved his legs, and the scene looked a little messy.

Fu Jian looked at the messy scenes of Dingling people very contemptuously. He has been in Xi Gaoche for nearly a year and a half, fully aware that it is an out-and-out nomadic tribe, let alone a mature military system, and the ruling class is not obvious. The social system of China is not only incomparable to the Central Plains dynasty in terms of system, but also incomparable to past dynasties of grassland hegemons.

"They are not like what an overlord should be." Li Cunxiao tried very hard to conceal 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 has enough qualifications to make a judgment: "The Xianbei people are called Gaoche people because they would use tall wheels. In fact, the Dingling people in the west were originally Tiele and Dili people. The Dingling people in the east were even Chile people earlier, and they were not originally from the same ethnic group."

Li Cunxiao is a Han Chinese who was born in a begging army. In his experience, he fled around after Li Nong was finished, and then went to Fu Hong, and followed this di tribe to flee for some years. Because of his literacy and good military ability, he was serving as a think tank to the Fu family. .

Regardless of what the name was before, the location where the Dingling people live is far from "civilization", not only in some systems, but also in the services and weapons they wear.

At first glance, most Dingling people do not have decent weapons in their hands. Many people hold sharpened wooden guns. Some are tied to sharp stones or bones. The strong ones are basic. Will hold a mace in his hand. In fact, speaking seriously, the nomads lacked metal weapons on the premise that the mace was the most threatening to their opponents.

The Di nationality did not come without a price after taking refuge in the Xigao Car. Becoming a nominal vassal was not part of the price. A considerable part of the materials they brought from the Central Plains fell into the hands of the Dingling people, including nearly five thousand various metal weapons. , Almost a hundred sets of iron armor, but those khan equipped with most of the Dingling people were used to equip the pro-army, and only a small amount was shed to the leaders of the tribes.

"The Han army we are facing is not the Jin army under the rule of the Sima royal family. It is an unattainable dream to return to the Central Plains." Li Cunxiao did not worry that Fu Jian would get angry at all. Those Lao Zi Fu Hong who was also Fu Jian said The words: "The Han army is not only cavalry, they also have weapons that we can't resist."

"Artillery, that's what the Han people call it." Fu Jian kept his eyes on the front. The Dingling cavalry who came out there will soon come into contact with the Han cavalry: "Murong Xianbei's fiasco was caused by artillery. Weapons that rely on flesh and blood to resist."

Fu Jian didn't know if 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 alert to the sudden explosion.

"With a huge number of cavalry, plus weapons that people cannot resist, what hope do we have?" Li Cunxiao was also looking ahead, but he was not interested in the battle that was about to break out: "The young man knows that Ding Ling will not It is the opponent of the Han army, why did you agree that Longdu will go to war?"

"The Dingling people have some knowledge of the Han army, but they obviously haven't really seen how powerful the Han army is." Fu Jian was talking about Ran Min's repeated invasions of Xigao Che, but Ran Min commanded about 3,000 cavalry at most. Entering the country, there are always some harassment wars, and there will rarely be a head-on shock: "The Dingling people must understand the terrible Han army, and it is good for us (the Di ethnic group)."

The Dingling cavalry is shouting, looking like they are full of expectations for the upcoming collision. As the distance between the two sides keeps getting closer, some Dinglings are already preparing for riding and shooting, but when they really get into the distance, they are listening. When the battle horns of "Han Army Mighty" were heard in unison, the next moment, dense arrows shot from the cavalry side of the Han Army.

"Han cavalry equipment and crossbows are standard equipment." Li Cunxiao watched the leading troops of the Dingling cavalry being shot over in batches~www.wuxiamtl.com~ He thought of something and continued to say: "I heard that the emperor of the Han family has annexed quite a bit. Many defeated, those defeated are willing to fight for the emperor of the Han family?"

"There are indeed quite a few grassland warriors who are willing to fight for the Emperor of Han, and those Tuoba Xianbei are the most enthusiastic group. With the example of Tuoba Xianbei before, the Emperor of Han will not lack Xiaoqi at all." Fu Jian saw It was a collision between the Han cavalry and the Dingling cavalry. In the next scene, the Han cavalry continued to push forward in a crushing manner. Charge in person, and then be killed by the Han army. Even though we can't get the command of this army when he dies, there are still many benefits."

On the battlefield, although both sides are cavalry, the quality of the equipment shows a one-sided situation. It is that most of the weapons of the Dingling people cannot cause effective damage to the Han army wearing plate armor. Only some Dingling people with maces can shoot down the Han knights, but the sharp weapons in the hands of the Han army are only one. Shocking energy killed 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 teacher successfully attacked the location of the emperor of the Han family by detour, it was impossible to kill the emperor of the Han family. What's the purpose of the prince's arrangement?"

Fu Jian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "What do you mean?"
