Chapter 199: Confused Maodun!
On that day, Huo Qubing led the Snow Dragon Cavalry to patrol the two villages and easily wiped out a team of Xiongnu cavalry on the way.

After nightfall, they set up camp outside the city of Jinyang in the northern border.

Two hundred miles north of Jinyang is Yanmen Pass, which is the only way from Yanmen Pass to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is stationed here, and can attack or defend, making it a strategic location except for Yanmen Pass.

Huo Qubing's team stopped their horses and set up camp, and Fusu got off the dragon horse for the first time today.

His face was full of amazement. Even though he had ridden such a majestic mount all day, he did not feel the slightest bit tired.

However, when he looked around, he asked curiously: "General Huo, why do you have to set up hundreds of tents when you only have a hundred cavalry? These tents can accommodate nearly ten thousand people!"

Huo Qubing did not respond, because the next moment, the sound of hooves came from all directions.

From all directions, teams of hundreds of snow dragon riders arrived one after another.

Hundreds or even thousands of auxiliary soldiers of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry walked out of the tents and lined up in front of their respective cavalry teams, ready to assist the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to dismount, change armor, and rest their equipment.

When Fusu saw this scene, he was completely shocked!
so much?
all?

Are they all Thirteenth Brother’s cavalry?

One team after another, totaling 1,700 riders, 17 teams of Great Snow Dragon Riders returned one after another.

Fusu did nothing but count.

Finally, he was completely stunned. Such a powerful Snow Dragon Riders actually had 1,700 people? ! !

He was completely stunned.

Thirteenth brother, aren’t you the dandy boy who only knows how to enjoy himself and is not good at either literature or martial arts?
Why do you suddenly have such powerful subordinates? !

Could it be that his playfulness was no child's play, but was based on his real talent and knowledge? !

I never thought that the Thirteenth Brother was so secretive and had been hiding his thoughts for many years!
At night, outside the tent, sixteen captains reported to Huo Qubing, but the specific content was unknown.

The general conclusion is that the Huns have been completely cleared from 85 villages in the three northern counties, and a total of 6700 enemy cavalry were killed today, without a single person or horse being injured.

Faced with this news that left Fusu dumbfounded and shocked, Huo Qubing just nodded slightly.

Then he gave a simple order: "Put on heavy armor tomorrow and prepare for a tough battle!"

"Yes!"

The sixteen Great Snow Dragon Riders' blood instantly boiled.

Since the day they first fought Xiang Yu, they had not encountered a strong enemy that required them to wear heavy armor.

Fusu, who was standing aside, was full of doubts and questions came to him like a tide.

Why change to heavy armor?
Today's armor is shining with silver light, and the man and the horse are one. Can it be considered as heavy armor?

Moreover, today you have killed more than 6,000 Xiongnu cavalry and saved dozens of villages.
Not even a single soldier was lost. How could such an amazing and almost absurd record be treated so lightly?

Shouldn't the whole country celebrate this?

No, is this really the expected outcome of a battle in the world?

Is it because I have been away from Xianyang for too long and no longer understand the situation there?
Isn’t the strongest fighting force of my Great Qin the frontier army of Meng Tian and I?
However, why could the Xiongnu cavalry, which even the border troops could not resist, be easily destroyed by this sudden Snow Dragon Cavalry?

And this cavalry unit actually had as many as 1,700 people!

They are all subordinates of the Thirteenth Brother. How much power does that brother who rarely shows up have hidden?

If his strength has been so terrifying from the beginning to the end, this plan will probably succeed!

Even if I return to Xianyang, it may not produce the same effect!
That night, Fusu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The shock he had today was extraordinary. It was the first time he had witnessed such a powerful Xiongnu cavalry being killed instantly without any resistance.

It was also the first time that he had seen a powerful army of Snow Dragon Cavalry like Huo Qubing. He had never dared to even think about it before!

The newly appointed Chanyu Maodun also suffered from insomnia!
When night fell, none of the dozens of cavalry teams he sent out to plunder the Qin people returned!

The moment the scout brought back the news, Maodun's face changed suddenly!
Maodun was less than 20 years old, but with his extraordinary wisdom and unparalleled military force, he unified the Xiongnu in just two years, swept across the Donghu, the Hexi Corridor and the northern grasslands, and laid the initial foundation for the Xiongnu Empire.

If it weren't for the existence of the Qin Dynasty, Maodun would have become a shining imperial star in this historical period!
Now, he led the Hun cavalry over mountains and across rivers, launched a surprise attack on the Qin Great Wall, and occupied Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop.

He also ordered hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops to cross the grassland, forcing Meng Tian's 300,000 border troops into a desperate situation, cutting off their food supplies, and preparing to completely encircle them.

At the same time, facing the defenseless Qin State, this piece of delicious fat meat!
The rise of Maodun can be regarded as a turning point in the history of the Xiongnu!

He brought food, women, and various rare resources from Daqin to the Huns.

This should have been a day of celebration for the Xiongnu cavalry, however, none of the dozens of cavalry teams he sent out to loot the villages in northern Qin survived!

Not even a single cavalryman escaped!
completely annihilated?!
What kind of situation is this?!

The Qin's secret weapons were lurking quietly in many villages, like a beast hiding in the shadows, suddenly launching a fatal attack, catching those hundred-man teams off guard and turning them into ashes in an instant.

Maodun was extremely confused. What magical power did the Qin army have to be able to pull off such a tactical surprise attack?

However, this did not shake his determination. The next day, yellow sand was flying all over the sky.

A thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders put on heavy black armor and mounted their horses with the help of auxiliary soldiers.

The heavy crashing sound made Fusu's heart tremble. He tried to lift the armor, but with his great strength that could lift a tripod, he couldn't move it at all!

This set of armor, just for humans to wear, weighs over a thousand pounds!
Not to mention, the weight of the armor draped over the war horses will probably only increase rather than decrease!
The weight of the armor for this man and horse must be no less than two thousand kilograms!
Can horses really bear such a load?

Where does this mysterious black iron come from?

When did the Qin Dynasty acquire the skills to forge such strong armor?
and many more!

Where did that three-meter-long spear come from?

God!

It actually weighs hundreds of kilograms!

Fusu gripped the spear with both hands and used 80% of his strength to barely lift the spear.

Seeing this, the Great Snow Dragon Riders all shook their heads.

The eldest son of the Qin Dynasty looks majestic in appearance, but in reality he is just a show-off.

Seeing these fully armed Snow Dragon Cavalry easily leaping onto their two-meter-tall war horses, Fusu was so shocked that he could not express it in words.

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of "put on heavy armor" that Huo Qubing said yesterday.

Under such heavy armor, every knight is like a moving mountain, a war machine!
At Fusu's insistence, he also changed into light black armor and continued to ride with Huo Qubing.

Boom!
dong dong!

dong dong dong! !

The Great Snow Dragon Riders marched in unison, their horses' hooves were like hammers and the ground was like a drum.

They played majestic war drums between heaven and earth, shaking not only Fusu's heart, but also the mountains and rivers of hundreds of miles in the northern border of the Qin Dynasty!
One thousand seven hundred heavy-armored Snow Dragon Riders reappear in the world!
