If you do not know the same pain, you cannot truly understand others, and even if you can understand, it is impossible to understand each other. This is the same truth.

"Ding!" "ding!" "ding!"
When the arrows shot by the Huns cavalry hit the Rhine cavalry, apart from the sound of ding ding, they did not cause any substantial damage to the Rhine cavalry in the charge; even the Rhine cavalry had a sling None of the warriors with thin armor were injured. This is the lethality of the herdsmen’s self-made short bows and arrows. It is useless in front of the well-equipped elite.
The majestic Rhine cavalry, although they do not understand the tactics of riding and shooting, but their assault formation with a flat rifle is powerful; the Huns herdsmen who have never been on the battlefield, they have the name of the Huns cavalry, but they have no combat. Experience, the Mongolian centurion who knows the roots of the gang of people under his command, will naturally not risk a confrontation with the Rhine cavalry.
The advantage of the Xiongnu cavalry, or the Huns herders, lies in their superb equestrianism. The Mongolian centurion's approach is to use their superb equestrian skills and use the kite tactics that their Mongolians are accustomed to use to deal with the attacking Rhine cavalry.
The homemade short bows and arrows used by the Huns herders are indeed of poor quality, but even so, one hundred arrows can shoot one or two Rhine cavalry, three or four Rhine horses; even the most basic leather The Xiongnu herdsmen, who had neither Jia nor Mudun, used their equestrian superiority to control the distance between the two armies steadily to about 100 meters, and had been harassing and killing their Rhine cavalry with arrows.
For a full ten minutes of chasing, the 800 Hun nomads fired at least 30,000 or 40,000 arrows, so there were only a few hundred injured Rhein cavalry, and they were all slightly injured, only a few seriously injured. It was their injuries that caused them to fall.
The Rhine cavalry armed to the teeth, while giving full play to the advantages of their weapons and equipment, also enjoyed the disadvantages brought by their weapons and equipment; for example, the horses under their seats had a very rapid decline in endurance because of the heavy weight they carried. The Huns herdsmen flying kites in front had to slow down deliberately to ensure that the slower and slower Rhine cavalry could keep up with their pace.
After another ten minutes, I felt that the horsemen’s endurance of the Rhine cavalry had fallen to a certain degree. The Mongolian centurion began to adjust the retreat direction of the Huns herdsmen under his command. The fixed ambush point is withdrawn.
I also felt that the leader of the Rhine cavalry, whose horse endurance was declining rapidly, vaguely felt that if he pursued this way again, his own cavalry’s horses would soon be alive and exhausted. After chasing for five minutes, if he could not catch up with the hundreds of Huns cavalry in front, he withdrew his troops back.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes, and the fourth minute is about to pass. The slower and slower rhine cavalry still failed to catch up with the retreating forward Huns cavalry; when the rhine cavalry commander was about to give up early, there was a dense Arrow rain fell from the sky.
The eight hundred Xiongnu cavalry with limited arm strength did not shoot arrows more than ten minutes ago. Obviously, this wave of arrow rain was not shot by them; with the emergence of this wave of arrow rain, the other five Mongolian centurions commanded More than five thousand Huns cavalry suddenly ran out from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the two thousand Rhine cavalry who chased the 800 Hun cavalry, fell into the encirclement of more than six thousand Hun cavalry; the rhine cavalry leader, whose face changed greatly, could not care about any face problems at this time, he directly ordered all The Rhine Cavalry immediately reversed direction and retreated at full speed.
When the horses of the Rhine Cavaliers were drawn by the whip, they really increased their speed instantly, but this kind of approach to throwing their vitality did not last long; soon, no matter how hard the Rhine cavalry pulled them down The horses that were exhausted from their seats were still running slower and slower, even slower than they ran before they swooped.
Easily catch up with the Huns cavalry group of the Rhine cavalry attempting to escape, while using their legs to steer the horses under their seat, while shooting arrows with the short bows in their hands against the escaping Rhine cavalry; dense arrows fired by more than five thousand Huns cavalry Rain, causing casualties to the Rhine cavalry, is much stronger than the previous 800 Hun cavalry.
Every round of the arrow rain of the Huns cavalry fired, there were at least dozens of well-equipped Rhine cavalry, which caused the distressed face of the Rhine cavalry to twitch; it was hard to resist the twenty or thirty round arrows of the Huns cavalry Rain, the Rhine cavalry who hadn't waited for the queen to withdraw were relieved, and the suddenly-accelerated Xiongnu cavalry had surpassed the slow rhine cavalry in one fell swoop, blocking them in front of them.
"To kill the enemy, wealth belongs only to the warriors!" A blade pointed directly at the Centurion of the Rhine Cavalry Mongolia and took the lead in shouting.
"To kill the enemy, wealth belongs to the warriors!" All the Huns cavalry cried out involuntarily.
This is the nature of the prairie people. No matter whether they are Mongolians or Huns, they are all blood-thirsty and in their bodies; the leading Mongolian centurion is only a little bit, and these Huns have completely forgotten. They had a vendetta against the Mongols before.
Of course, this oblivion is only short-lived. After the end of this war, they will be overexcited now and they will recall their enmity with the Mongols; this point, the Mongols see more thoroughly than the Huns!
More than six thousand people suppressed the Hungarian cavalry who were too depressed and need to vent, and directly drowned the number of Rhine cavalry, which had been reduced to 1,600, 700; So far the prelude has begun.
The fighting that started in a state of anxiety lasted for more than an hour before it came to a close. When the initiative was launched, there were 2,000 Rhine cavalry, and in the end only a few dozens of leaders who guarded them seriously wounded out of the encirclement; The Xiongnu cavalry with severely inadequate combat experience also paid a very heavy price for this, and nearly half of the Xiongnu cavalry became victims of this battle.
Six Mongolian centurions, with more than 3,000 Huns cavalry killing red eyes, ran all the way to the temporary campsite that the Rhein caravan had just built recently, this orderly campsite one second ago, next Seconds turned into a terrible human hell.
The cruel Huns, by nature, imposed on the Rhine the things that the Mongols had done to them intensified; as for the various strategic materials provided by the Rhine Business League to the Xiongnu court, the more than 500 vehicles were Torn by six Mongolian centurions personally.
When the blazing fire burned in this camp, the six Mongolian centurions who successfully completed the task took their more than 3,000 Huns cavalry under their subordinates and slowly withdrew northward, leaving only the dead camp. Continue to burn.
