From the Spring and Autumn Period onwards, the Xiongnu continued to harass them from the south. The Xiongnu Empire was once the most powerful and vast empire on the Asian continent, galloping and plundering everywhere, becoming a terrible civilizational destructive force that straddled east and west.
During the Xiongnu Yin Shang period, they were known as Ghost Fang and Inu Rong. The ancients believed that they were all descendants of Yan Huang, like us, descendants of the Xia people who were driven to the north by the Yin people.
In any case, the famous Xiongnu rose up during the Qin Dynasty and quickly became the most terrifying presence in northern China.
The iron-blooded "old Qin" rejuvenated the army through science and technology, the huge lethality of the Great Qin bow and arrow and the contrast between the Xiongnu's stick formed a weapon generation difference, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Great Qin army caused a great psychological shadow to the Xiongnu.
In the qin shi huang era, the general Meng Tian was sent to sweep away the Xiongnu. Protect the Central Plains for recuperation.
The Xiongnu stopped fighting in the Central Plains and learned a lot of good things from the Central Plains, at least the strength value increased rapidly.
By the time Liu Bang built the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the Xiongnu finally had the strength to kill from the depths of the grassland to the Central Plains.
Dou Zhuanxing moved to the era of Emperor Wu of Han, because of years of recuperation and space for time...
Emperor Wu of Han became quite upset, and Wei Qing and Huo went sick like gods, beating the Xiongnu to the point of cracking
Divided into the southern and northern Xiongnu,
In particular, Huo went to the disease, taking hundreds of people to directly pound the royal court, Emperor Wu of Han rewarded fine wine, huo went to the sick and poured into the spring water to celebrate with the soldiers, this place is the wine spring.
The Southern Xiongnu returned to the Shun Han Dynasty, and the Northern Xiongnu continued to love and kill each other with the Han Dynasty, endlessly.
The Eastern Han Dynasty general Dou Gu was even more fierce, directly beating the Northern Xiongnu to fly out of China's vision, that is, in the two Han Dynasties, shouting out the strongest voice in the land of China - "Those who dare to commit strong Han will be punished from afar."
The Xiongnu ran wildly, over the Altai Mountains, and in 91 AD, ran to the Wusun region near the Ili River to establish the Yueban Kingdom.
The Xianbei people expressed their displeasure and fought with the Xiongnu, and in 160 AD, more than 200,000 Xiongnu rushed into Kangju in Central Asia
Kangju was a central Asian power, quite fierce in the Kyrgyz plains.
But the Xiongnu were even fiercer and occupied Kangju without suspense.
The Han Dynasty attacked from afar, and when he saw that Kang Jubei's men were defeated and taken away, Vice Lieutenant Chen Tang surprised and killed Zhi Zhidan Yu.
The Great Han pursued, under various revolts of the Ōtsuki clan and the Kangju kingdom. The Huns fought the steppes of the Caspian Sea for more than two hundred years, constantly killing in and out of kangju, dawan, shanshan and other countries.
On the last time they left, the Huns left the old and weak in the area, and the elite continued to run westward.
In 360 AD, they entered the powerful kingdom of Alan between the Volga and Don rivers in Russia. They crushed the Arans at the Don, killed the king, conquered Alain,
It borders Great Qin (i.e., the Roman Empire) to the west and Kangju to the southeast.
In the past 200 years, this fierce force has been called the Huns, and history believes that they are Huns, and there are also said to be of Xiongnu blood, anyway, there is a lot of controversy, but we choose the first theory here, the Huns are descendants of the Huns.
In 374 A.D., the Xiongnu invaded the northern shore of the Black Sea,
This was followed by a continued westward expedition against the Ostrogoths (a Germanic force). From this time on, the westward migration of the Xiongnu opened the most brilliant scene.
The Huns were constantly fighting and extremely mobile. Constantly incorporating other races.
In the time of the Roman Empire, the Forest Lied Germanic people were known as barbarians. The Germans hunted for a living, were tall and strong, and all the men were warriors, but never bathed, had a strange smell on their bodies, and hid from anyone who saw them. The Romans would say, "Don't let me meet the Germans."
The Huns launched a massive attack on the Germans, kicking off the great migration of peoples that had lasted for more than two hundred years in Medieval Europe.
The Germans had never seen such a ferocious blow, and the Germanic king (Ostrogothic) committed suicide and surrendered.
The terrified Germanics, in search of a new place to live, began to attack the Germanic Visigoths and drive them further west.
The Visigoths invaded other Germanic tribes nearby, and fear quickly spread to the Alamani, Franks, and Saxons...
The military might of the Huns greatly surpassed that of all the Germans and Romans in Europe at the time.
Historians have described that the Huns always had to make chaotic cries when they fought. Sometimes they are in a row of rules, and most of the time they are unruly.
They would suddenly scatter in all directions, sometimes gathered together extremely quickly, galloping through the wilderness in a swift and swift manner.
The Huns crossed the Dniester River and continued to pursue the Visigoths who had run to Romania.
Some of the Visigoths ran into the Danube forest, some continued to run, and the Danube, all of them fled into the territory of the Roman Empire.
The Huns drove the European barbarians into the Roman Empire,
Talking about barbarians for half a day, who are barbarians? Whoever said it, the Roman Empire felt that all uninvited people were super fierce.
Like dominoes, the Huns rushed westward, turning Europe upside down, like a lion chasing a bison on the steppe, and the peoples of Europe began to migrate.
The Roman Empire was truly unstoppable, and finally split in 395 – it became two empires, East and West Rome.
As a result, The Visigoths beat Greece to the point of attacking Athens in 396, invading Italy in 401 and burning Rome, making the holy city fall for the first time, and occupying Spain in 416.
Africa, Spain, and Gaul were also occupied by various barbarian tribes, and the Huns once advanced to Paris.
In 418 the Franks occupied Gaul. In 439 the Vandals occupied North Africa to establish Carthage.
After dealing europe its first heavy blows, the Huns stopped along the Danube and established a Hun Empire.
Attila, the greatest leader in the history of the Huns, the fierce leader of the Xiongnu Empire in its most glorious period, and the European countries entered the darkest hour,
For the first time, the Hun Iron Horse was called the "Whip of God", and there is no doubt that Attila was an Oriental who has always preserved the physical characteristics of the original Huns. Attila's superb political and diplomatic skills, and his subjects were in great awe of him,
In 447, Attila led the Huns to carry out a fatal blow to the Balkans, passing through a place where "countless killings and rivers of blood flowed". Reaching the city of Constantinople, the king surrendered.
The Territory of the Hun Empire stretched from the Caspian Sea in the east to the Baltic Sea and the Rhine River in the west. Both The Romans of the East and the West paid tribute to him, and Attila was extremely ambitious, and in 451 Attila launched the "Battle of Charons", which pushed the conquest of Gaul to the climax.
The number of troops thrown in by both sides and the heavy casualties are rare in history.
Attila took Gaul and immediately led hundreds of thousands of troops across the Rhine and headed straight for Rome! The Huns looted and burned Metz all the way, and more than a dozen large cities, including Remus, Cologne, and Trier, surrounded Orleans with thunder, an important pass guarded by the Roman general Aechius, known as the "last Roman"
The two sides came and went, and the casualties were heavy. Attila abandoned the siege of Orléans and retreated to the plains of Champagne in France.
Here, Attila and Aechius fought their final battle.
The Roman general Aechilles placed the most crushed Aran army in the middle to resist the frontal bombardment of the Hun iron horse; the Alans collapsed at the touch of a button...
However, Attila's right flank was beaten to blood by the Visigoths of the Roman confederation, and the battle situation was quickly reversed, and Attila rushed back to the car, supported by crossbowmen.
Unfortunately, the top general in the Roman coalition army, Theodoric the Visigothic King Theodoric, was unfortunately killed on the battlefield.
What a king! His was a turning point in the decisive battle, which gave Attila the opportunity to escape to heaven — the Visigothic heir to the throne was anxious to return to the throne, so he secretly allied with Attila, and Attila took the Hun iron horse and crossed the Rhine Ton.
The following year Attila bypassed the Alps and rushed to Rome again, this time with even greater ferocity – the whole of Northern Italy was almost completely burned out.
The Pope of Rome asked Totila to see Attila, and actually persuaded Attila to retreat with three inches of incorruptible tongue - the real reason was that the Hun army was advancing too quickly, there was a shortage of supplies, and the plague began to sweep through the Hun army, so Attila withdrew, and the Huns ultimately failed to make the Western Romans kneel.
However, Attila marries a young girl, and on the wedding night, Attila mysteriously dies in the marriage bed.
Sons fought for the throne of Dadanyu, civil wars broke out, and the Xiongnu Empire collapsed in an instant.
Since then, the Huns have gradually fallen silent until they are completely forgotten by history.
However, the Western Roman Empire, which was affected by the westward migration of barbarians triggered by the Huns, also came to a complete end, and Germanic mercenaries captured the city of Rome, and the Western Roman Empire was destroyed.
Europe entered the feudal era.
At that time, the great general Dou Gu's big hand waved, completely beat the Northern Xiongnu to the fly, brought the combat effectiveness to the West, the Western nation can be regarded as a big misfortune, all the way to the west of the domino effect, layer by layer pushed past into a huge wave, the prosperous Roman Empire into the abyss of history.
Attila, the Whip of God, is followed by one of the fiercest whips on earth, Genghis Khan's Mongol Iron Horse.
Let's finish with the Huns:
After the Southern Xiongnu attached themselves to the Han Dynasty, although they accepted Han culture, they were still wolf-like in their bodies.
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains were slaughtered in the dark, and the great hero Cao Cao unified the north, he was aware of the foresight, firmly controlled the Xiongnu, and divided into five parts, and later the Xiongnu continued to divide... It melted into the later Northern Zhuxiongli.
If it were not for Cao Cao's timely rise, the dark age of "Wuhu Chaohua" might have been a hundred years earlier.
Here let us applaud cao cao, dou gu, huo fuyi, Wei Qing, Meng Tian and several heroes!!!
When the Jin Dynasty was canonized as Genghis Khan, Temujin threw himself to the ground to worship the Five Bodies of the Central Plains regime and knelt down to receive the canonization (Jin Han was transformed, and the Great Song Dynasty was now admired by Genghis Khan).
When the emissary read the edict, Yan Yongji (later Emperor jinguo), who was sitting next to him, fell asleep.
Temujin felt insulted.
Later, when jin guo inspected Mongolia again, the emissary read the edict, and Temujin asked, "Is the new emperor the prince who fell asleep when he last crowned me?" ”
"Yes," replied the Prophet.
"I thought that in the Central Plains, all saints can be emperors, and pig heads can be done after Yan Yongji", after saying that, Temujin stood up, flew away, and then led the fierce Mongolian iron horse to the land of the Golden Kingdom, and also embarked on a journey of global conquest.
