Yes, the Huns also had heavy cavalry.

In fact, this is also a very easy thing to understand. Since the Huns were repeatedly defeated by the heavy cavalry of Zhao, they would definitely have the intention to form a heavy cavalry to compete with the Zhao State.

This is the learning and imitation of advanced nations by backward nations. Throughout history, you will find that such things are actually really uncommon.

Take the Warring States Period as an example. In the early years of the Warring States Period, the State of Wei became the hegemony because of Li Ku's reforms and dominated the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years. Then all countries followed suit, which led to the reforms of Han Shen Buhe, the reforms of Qin Shang Yang, the reforms of Chu Wuqi, the reforms of Qi Zou Ji, the reforms of Zhao Wuling, the king of Wuling, the king of Zhao, the horse-dressing and casing, etc.

As long as there are benefits, there will never be a lack of people following the trend. The old system sometimes does not have much resistance to the new interests.

The consideration of the Huns' desire to form heavy cavalry was already in place when they were defeated by armored cavalry for the first time.

But the embarrassing problem is that the Huns actually did not lack war horses, but they lacked iron tools, and the smelting technology was completely blank.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Huns at that time didn't even know how to smel out an iron pot.

In fact, until hundreds or even thousands of years later in history, when nomads from the grassland went south to rob, their favorite things were iron pots, tea, and salt. Only the nobles liked gold, silver and jewelry more.

A country that can't even make iron pots, it is basically a dream to make a full-coverage steel heavy armor like armored cavalry.

This dilemma lasted for many years, until two years ago, after the Huns entered the westwards and entered the Western Regions, the situation finally changed.

In the Western Regions, the Huns captured a large number of slaves through victory. As a great visionary Shanyu, Wuwei Shanyu captured almost all the craftsmen that could be found, especially the blacksmiths.

In addition, during the war with the Bactricians, although the Huns finally returned in a defeat, the Huns' military attacks still ravaged the northeast of Bactricians, and a large number of craftsmen from the Bactrician region were also captured.

It was also here that Uvi Shanyu obtained a crucial intelligence.

Among these Bactrician craftsmen, someone can build the equipment of the partner cavalry!

Partner Cavalry, also known as Friend Cavalry, Macedonian Imperial Guard Cavalry, is the most important elite cavalry unit under the command of Alexander the Great decades ago who swept across Asia, Europe and Africa.

In the famous battle "Battle of Gaugamira" in 331 BC, the partner cavalry defeated the Steki heavy cavalry, which was as famous as himself under the wise command of Alexander the Great, and sounded the death knell of the Persian Empire, and became the world's first heavy cavalry at that time with this battle!

After the death of Alexander the Great, the empire he established fell apart. Seleucid was a country separated. As the eastern region of Seleucid, a large number of military craftsmen lived here. Even though decades had passed, the descendants of these craftsmen still retained the craftsmanship of their ancestors and even made certain improvements.

Accompanied by a loud trumpet, the heavy sound of horse hooves began to sound, and a heavy armored cavalry appeared in front of Wuwei Shanyu.

Unlike armored cavalry, the heavy armored cavalry do not have that much heavy armor on their bodies, and their faces are exposed on their helmets, and they are only in more important parts of their bodies. For example, there are heavy armor in the chest, abdomen, and arms, and other places are still leather armor.

In addition, the body of the Huns was originally smaller than that of the Central Plains, so their hands were full of Western Region scimitars and no spears.

This is not to say that Wuwei Shanyu is reluctant to invest, but because the craftsmen are not in sufficient staff and need training, and secondly, they only know the craftsmanship formula, and it takes time to rebuild a production line. So although more than a year has passed, there are only one thousand heavy armored cavalry in the Hun army today.

Wu Wei Shanyu looked at the thousand heavily armored cavalry in front of him, and couldn't help but feel quite moved, and he was vaguely proud.

This is the Huns' own heavy cavalry!

A Xiongnu general rode his horse to the front of Wuwei Shanyu: "Great Shanyu, a thousand heavy cavalry have arrived, waiting for your order!"

Wu Wei Shanyu nodded vigorously and said, "Very good. This Shanyu has ordered the servants to attack. You should first line up in front of the formation. As long as the servants start to contact the Zhao army, you can attack!"

...

"The Huns' infantry rushed up, Grand Commander!" A scout rushed over and shouted loudly at Li Mu.

"Infantry?" Li Mu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard these words.

You're right, the Huns and infantry?

This was the first time that Li Mu showed an unexpected look on his face during this war.

And this was also a "surprise" given to Li Mu by the Huns.

As a nomadic people, it would be a tormenting thing to let the Huns go to the ground to fight.

After all, after riding a horse for a long time, people will become cork-legged legs. Think about letting a group of cork-legged shorts waving their long swords and sabres run and launch an attack on the Zhao army that swept the world... Isn't this asking for death?

But no matter what, this news still aroused Li Mu's great vigilance.

If something goes wrong, there will be a demon.

The Huns can take out an infantryman now, but they may not be sure to make any more trouble later.

Li Mu did not make a judgment immediately, but issued an order: "Let the cavalry in front of the formation disperse, and the governor wanted to see the Huns' carvings, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

An infantry unit suddenly appeared in front of Li Mu.

The infantry held a huge leather shield, wore leather armor, and held spears in their hands. They lined up in a very strict formation, approaching the Zhao army's central army formation step by step.

As a general who has been leading troops for many years, Li Mu only glanced at it and found that there were about seven or eight thousand infantrymen who judged that the Huns were about seven or eight thousand.

But these Hun infantrymen looked tall, even taller than the people in the Central Plains of Zhao. They were obviously not Huns.

"So that's it..." Li Mu nodded thoughtfully: "This must be the servants of the Huns."

The so-called vassal army is the Western Region soldiers who surrendered to the Huns, just like the puppet troops during the Anti-Japanese period, and they are those who have no backbone surrenders.

The Huns have been rampant in the Western Regions for so long that it is normal for them to have a minion army of this size.

When Li Mu thought of this, he breathed a little relieved and issued a new order.

"Okay, let the vanguard of the central army attack, destroy this minion army, and then take the enemy's central army's flank! Yiqu wins..."

Li Mu said this, and looked back at Yi Qusheng, who had been scratching his ears and cheeks, who was unbearable and itchy: "You bring your armored cavalry to prepare. Once the vanguard troops break through this minion army, then you will rush in from the gap with armored cavalry to defeat the Huns' central army in one fell swoop and lay a victory!"
