Chapter 216: First I'll Punch You, Then I'll Form an Alliance with You
As the last Hun cavalryman fell, all the Parthian legions fell into deathly silence.
"Okay, stop it!" Huo Qubing began to shout using a secret method.
The Parthians on the battlefield were all stunned, and then began to stop silently. They could actually understand Huo Qubing's shouts.
Under the terrifying pressure brought by Huo Qubing, Ardashir decisively ordered the troops to retreat.
He didn't want to fight with Huo Qubing. The Han army used to be their ally. There was no need for them to fight to the death with a terrible enemy over a dead Hun army.
"Tsk, no matter how many times you use it, this telepathy provided by the Great Yue Clan is pretty good."
Huo Qubing was somewhat proud. The relics that Zhang Qian brought back from Dayuezhi could enable people to have unimpeded conversations. As the Marquis of Guanjun, he naturally got one of them.
This was also the reason why Emperor Wu of Han sent him to garrison the border in the later period of his reign. On the one hand, it was to avoid pressure from the court, and on the other hand, it was to completely incorporate the Western Regions into the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Qubing had no idea of the gap in status between the Han and Xiongnu empires, and still treated the Huns with his original attitude.
Although he looked down on the fighting power of the Huns and any army on the battlefield of Parthia, he still wanted to win over Parthia to help the Han Dynasty fight against the Huns like a conditioned reflex.
Having said that, Huo Qubing was riding on the head of the Xiongnu Empire and smashed the will of the empire in front of the elite of the empire, but the Xiongnu Empire's troops could not do anything to him.
If he hadn't killed himself by trying to prove his truth, what would have happened next?
Huo Qubing's tactic of winning over the Huns was also their most commonly used method at that time. He would first strike down the Huns and then begin to win over the minions around them.
We cannot rely on them to fight, but we can rely on them to effectively reduce the living space of the Huns.
With this attitude, Huo Qubing began to mediate the war. After all, he vaguely remembered that Marquis Bowang had told him about Anxi , which seemed to be some kind of ally of theirs.
The Xiliang cavalry and infantry defense lines also began to distance themselves in an orderly manner. It was obvious that both Li Jue and his men, as well as Ardashir and others, had fallen into silence and panic because of the destruction of the Xiongnu cavalry. Even Li Jue and his men found it hard to believe the fighting effectiveness of the Yulin Army.
This was the first time they saw the Miracle Legion display its strength. They originally thought that Miracle was similar to the Military Soul, but reality gave them a heavy blow. Their Xiliang Army headquarters might not be enough to be killed by a legion of the Yulin Army.
Not only is the Yulin Army strong, but the Champion's tactics are even more sophisticated, like a scalpel accurately inserted into the vital points of your body, cutting your defense into pieces. Even if the strength of the Xiongnu cavalry has finally risen to that of the Imperial Guards, it is in vain.
In every charge, the Yulin Army could accurately take away hundreds or thousands of Xiongnu cavalry. After several consecutive attacks, they finally wiped out all the Xiongnu cavalry.
This is a territory that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has never touched before. Their limit is only to defeat the enemy. If they want to destroy the enemy, the enemy will fight to the death with them.
However, the Xiongnu cavalry were slaughtered during the movement. Just this point alone was something that the Xiliang Cavalry would never be able to do in their lifetime, because they were mounted infantry.
With their speed, they can only bully the short-legged heavy infantry. If they use slightly faster light infantry, they can go around them and fight them.
Li Jue began to reflect on the shortcomings of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and how they should deal with it if they encountered an enemy like the Yulin Army one day.
However, until Ardashir and others arrived at the center of the battlefield at the invitation of Huo Qubing, Li Jue and others had no clue at all. They sadly discovered that even with Fei Xiong present , they could at most cause a little trouble to the Yulin Army led by Huo Qubing, and were not even qualified to be opponents.
The appearance of Li Jue and his companions was as expected by Ardashir and his companions. They looked Li Jue and his companions up and down. They found that they were tall, strong and full of pride, almost the same as the Roman Eagle Flag Bearer they had seen before.
Although Li Jue and his three companions had completely different images from the Roman nobles, their temperaments were exactly the same.
That similar temperament, that unruly self-confidence, and that energetic face, everything illustrates the prosperity of the Han Empire.
When Ardashir and others saw Jiang Wei, who was of the same age as them, they were stunned. Could the godlike legion commander be such a young man?
"What are these guys talking about?" Li Jue frowned as he looked at the chattering of Ardashir and the others, not understanding a word they said.
"They are praising your strength!" Jiang Wei said with a smile. After Guan Junhou fell into his memories, he threw him out. People like An Xi were not qualified to talk to him. In his opinion, it was enough to let Jiang Wei come forward.
"Wait a minute, Jiang Boyue? Where is Guanjun Hou?" Li Jue was stunned and quickly noticed the difference in Jiang Wei's tone.
"Do you think they cooperated with the Champion Marquis in the conversation?" Jiang Wei glanced at Li Jue with his eyes slanted.
"Yes, no wonder they keep talking to us. It seems they are very self-aware." Li Jue nodded, agreeing with Jiang Wei's statement.
"Then please help me express my recognition of their fighting spirit." Li Jue said with the idea that if someone respects me one foot, I will respect him ten feet.
The opponent's strength is indeed good, and there are not many infantrymen who can fight in close combat with their Xiliang Cavalry.
"How can I possibly speak? Just say it yourself, I have blessed you with the effect of telepathy." Jiang Wei glanced at Li Jue depressedly. I represent the Marquis of Guanjun, what the hell is the point of helping you translate?
"Oh! What a great idea, boy!" Huo Qubing exclaimed in amazement at this time. He had never thought that idealism could be developed to language. Jiang Wei was worthy of being his chosen successor. He had a deep understanding of idealism.
"Idealism is not an inconvenience. You did a great job, boy!" Huo Qubing nodded with satisfaction, then took over Jiang Wei's body.
"You four, think carefully about what I said before, talk to them, and see if you can form an alliance with them. I have something else to do, so I will leave with the Yulin Army first. Remember to go back and pick up the Wusun soldiers and bring them here together."
"It seems that the Huns are not extinct."
After saying a few words casually, Huo Qubing seemed to have realized something and quickly evacuated the battlefield with the Yulin Army.
Li Jue was silent for a moment, then turned around and began to talk to Ardashir.
"I am Li Jue of the Han Empire, and who are you, Excellency?"
"I am Ardashir, the commander of the Parthian Legion. This is Achaemenes from the Esfandryar family, and this is Yupal from the Esfandryar family!" Ardashir responded quickly. They did not dare to be arrogant.
"We want to know why the Han Empire launched an attack on our Parthia?"
After a brief silence, Ardashir broke the silence. He was the grandson of the Parthian commander and one of the commanders on the Parthian-Roman battlefield. His status was slightly higher than that of Eupal and Achaemenides. After all, the two of them were just here to do some work and were not qualified to represent the Parthian Empire.
Ardashir really didn't understand. He had asked Achaemenes before, and it was indeed Li Jue and his men who took the first action.
