Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Outside the sky.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou saw that Rome was also ceding territory and paying indemnities.

Annual tribute is paid every year.

A smug smile gradually appeared on his face.

Obviously, he was enjoying it too.

"Hahaha, this is paying tribute to the barbarians. I didn't expect it to be popular in Rome as well?"

"It can only be said that great minds think alike."

"It is a wise move for the Song Dynasty to pay tribute to the Jin Kingdom."

"My dear friends."

Zhao Gou turned excitedly and looked at Qin Hui, Wang Lun and others around him.

"You can see in this sky that the Eastern Roman Empire paid tribute to the Huns, and the Huns stopped invading recklessly, and they can live peacefully."

"Isn't it for the sake of peace that the Song Dynasty pays tribute to the Jin Kingdom?"

Qin Hui nodded and bowed quickly, saying flatteringly:

"Your Majesty is wise! The Eastern Roman Empire's approach coincides with the strategy of our Great Song Dynasty."

"Giving the barbarians some money can bring peace to the border and allow the people to recuperate. This is truly the best policy."

After hearing this, Zhao Gou couldn't stop laughing.

"The Jin Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses. If we don't give them some money to appease them, how can they easily stop fighting?"

"If I can buy peace with some money, I can sit on this throne and enjoy peace."

The sky screen video continued slowly.

【And at the core of the Hun Empire, there was a legendary figure. 】

[He is Attila, who was later called "Scourge of God". ]

【Attila was born in 406 AD. He was the son of Mundzuk, the king of the Hun Empire.】

[During Attila's growth, the Hun Empire was in a period of rapid development and its national strength was growing day by day.]

【And Attila was once exchanged to Rome as a hostage. 】

[There he learned about Roman culture, tactics, and also understood Rome's weaknesses.]

【Attila was not tall.】

[His facial features are flat, and his eyes are narrowed like slits carved by a knife.]

[But when he glares at his enemies, even the bravest German warriors will go weak at the knees.]

[He is not only brave and good at fighting, but also extremely wise and strategic. ]

[He also has a deep understanding of the situation of his main rival, Rome.]

[He was the most terrible and outstanding military strategist and politician in the history of the Huns.]

[In 434 AD, Attila's uncle Ruga died, and Attila and his brother Bleda jointly inherited the throne of the Hun Empire. ]

[Under their rule, the Hun Empire continued to expand outward.]

【Attila and Bleda first set their sights on the Balkans of the Eastern Roman Empire.】

[They led the Hun cavalry and launched several large-scale attacks on the border areas of the Roman Empire.]

[Under the powerful attack of the Huns, the Eastern Roman army had almost no ability to fight back, and the border defense line was quickly breached. ]

[The Hun army entered the territory as if it were no man's land, burning, killing and looting along the way, and approached the heartland of the Eastern Roman Empire. ]

[In order to avoid greater losses, the Eastern Roman Empire had to sign a humiliating peace treaty with the Huns]

[Pay huge tribute to the Huns and cede large tracts of territory as a buffer zone. ]

【However, Attila's ambitions went far beyond this. 】

[In 445 AD, Attila designed to kill his brother Bleda and became the sole ruler of the Hun Empire. ]

【After Attila took power, he further strengthened the military power of the Hun Empire. 】

【He assembled a large army, mainly composed of cavalry. 】

[This army was composed of warriors from the Huns and various tribes they conquered, numbering hundreds of thousands.]

[Attila conducted rigorous training for this army and developed a complete military system, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Huns' army. ]

[In the following years, Attila led his army and launched a series of wars against various European countries.]

[His goal is not just to plunder wealth and land like his predecessors. ]

[We want to build an unprecedentedly large Xiongnu Empire! ]

【Attila first turned his attention to the Eastern Roman Empire. 】

[He led his army to attack the Balkan region of the Eastern Roman Empire many times, dealing a heavy blow to the Eastern Roman Empire.]

【Under Attila's attack, many cities in the Eastern Roman Empire were destroyed. 】

[The Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II was forced to sign a peace treaty with Attila again and pay a much larger tribute to the Huns.]

【However, Attila was not satisfied with the submission of the Eastern Roman Empire.】

[In 451 AD, Attila set his sights on the Western Roman Empire.]

[He used the excuse of marrying the Western Roman Emperor's sister, Princess Honoria, to lead an army of 200,000, claiming to have 500,000! ]

[Including the Hun headquarters and vassal troops. ]

【Crossing the Rhine, marching towards Gaul.】

【Wherever Attila's army went, they burned, killed and looted. 】

【The entire Gaul region fell into panic.】

【The Western Roman Empire realized the seriousness of the problem. 】

[Aetius, the famous general who is known as the last Roman, urgently puts together the Avengers. 】

[Except for the Roman legions, all the wise men are present. ]

[Visigoth heavy infantry, Frank axemen, Alane light cavalry, Burgundian spearmen... these tribes that were beaten by the Huns united one after another. ]

【The coalition forces tried to resist Attila's attack.】

[In June 451 AD, on the Chalon Plain in Gaul, Attila's Hun army and the Western Roman coalition launched a fierce decisive battle. ]

[This battle was later called the Battle of Chalons and is one of the most famous battles in European history.]

[It also almost determined the subsequent historical direction of Europe. ]

Outside the sky.

Han Dynasty.

Liu Che stared at the shocking scene with his eyes - hundreds of thousands of Huns, led by Attila, marched towards Chalons like a surging tide.

The military flags were flying high, and the sound of horse hooves seemed to break through the sky and reach my ears. The military might was so great, and the army was so huge.

Even Liu Che, who was used to big scenes, could not help but look surprised and doubtful.

Although the Huns were brave, they had already been severely damaged by years of conquests by the Han cavalry.

But the Huns that appeared in the sky now had such a large army, which was really beyond his expectations.

"God's Whip? What a catchy nickname!"

"Could they really be descendants of the Huns?"

"I have sent my army to attack the Xiongnu many times, beheaded countless people, and caused the Xiongnu population to drop sharply, and their territory to shrink significantly."

"It is really hard to understand how the Huns can now command hundreds of thousands of troops."

However, Liu Che was only surprised by the size of the Hun army.

"The Xiongnu were defeated by the Han Dynasty. They became Huns simply by assimilating other tribes during their escape. Their fighting power cannot be stronger than the original Xiongnu."

"However, they are just a motley crowd."

“But they can move west and they can also return east.”

"If the Huns develop well in the west, they will send hundreds of thousands of troops back to our Han Dynasty to cause trouble."

"We have to be on guard."

However, Huo Qubing obviously did not have so many doubts.

Instead, he said with a hint of excitement: "These Huns, what a grand show!"

“There are indeed a lot of people!”

"The Xiongnu were defeated by the Han Dynasty. So what if these Xiongnu are their descendants?"

"Attila? How good is he?"

"But no matter what level Attila is at, his Hun tribe is definitely not good enough."

"These Huns, even if they are descendants of the Xiongnu, are nothing more than monkeys in human form."

"A bunch of assholes, not worth mentioning."

The sky screen video continues to play.

The battle raged.

[As soon as the battle started, both sides started a fierce fight. ]

[Attila hid the most elite Hun cavalry behind the central army tent, and when the sun reached its highest point, he suddenly removed his disguise.]

[The sun shines directly into the eyes of the Roman coalition forces, and the Hun cavalry takes advantage of the situation and charges out! ]

[With their superb horse archery skills and brave fighting style, the Hun cavalry gained the upper hand. ]

[However, the Western Roman coalition forces were not to be outdone. Under the command of the famous general Aetius, they put up a tenacious resistance.]

【Attila was familiar with the Romans, and he knew that they were in decline.】

[The strongest among the coalition forces are the Visigoths. As long as they are defeated, victory will be easy.]

[So the main force of the Huns focused on attacking to the left, pressing down on the Visigoths.]

[The battle was extremely fierce, and both sides paid a heavy price. ]

[The Visigoth king, Theoderic, was shot in the eye by a stray arrow, then fell off his horse and was trampled to death by the chaotic army.]

【Seeing the Visigothic army fall into chaos. 】

[His son Thorismund immediately jumped on the horse and raised his arms and shouted! ]

[This wave of passionate operations caused the Visigoth warriors to collectively go berserk, and they withstood the chaos and fought back in a desperate manner, tearing a gap in the Huns' right wing. ]

[Finally, after a whole day of fierce fighting, Attila's army gradually fell into trouble under the tenacious resistance of the coalition forces.]

【Attila realized that continuing to fight would be disadvantageous to him.】

【So I chose to retreat. 】

【But then the army was defeated. 】

[When the sunset dyed the plain of Sharon red, there were 16 corpses lying on the battlefield, and even the vultures were burping from eating them! ]

[Attila retreated to the camp and used the Huns' nomadic caravans to form a circular defense line.]

[The Huns want to retreat.]

[However, the Roman legion is not good at close combat, but can kill at a distance. ]

[The Hun cavalry could not break through. ]

[Attila then piled up the treasures he had looted into a huge mountain, and sat on the top of the mountain, with firewood underneath.]

[If I can't hold on any longer, I'll burn myself with my treasure. ]

[The Visigoth cavalry were furious and charged in waves, but were repelled by the Huns every time.]

[The Huns struggled to hold on.]

【The morale of the coalition forces is high. 】

[The leaders of various barbarian tribes discussed the matter.]

[Prepare to either attack at all costs, or completely surround and kill Attila. ]

[In short, the king of the Hun Empire who brought them fear must be killed.]

【Roman commander Aetius had his own ideas.】

[There must be a Lich King! 】

[The Huns from outside only came to steal money, and at most occupied the Rhine region or Gaul. ]

[And right now, these barbarian tribes that are allied with Rome are the empire's greatest concern. ]

[As long as Attila's Huns are kept, they can still discuss cooperation. Both sides have been suppressing the barbarian tribes. ]

[After all, Aetius also knew the Huns very well. ]

【So Aetius advised the Visigothic prince Thorismund to return home immediately and secure his throne first. 】

【To avoid any more nightmares. 】

[A word awakened the dreamer, and Thorismund led his army back to the country and ascended the throne. 】

[The Visigoths, who had the strongest fighting power, left, and the rest of the coalition forces also retreated one after another. ]

【Attila also withdrew his troops and retreated to the east bank of the Rhine. 】

【The Battle of Chalons, which determined the fate of France and even Europe, ended with Attila being defeated.】

[The Lich King still exists.]

[The Huns are still invincible.]

[They still threatened the Roman Empire, suppressed the barbarians, and indirectly protected the Roman Empire.] (End of this chapter)
