Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng stared at the scene of the Battle of Chalons with sharp eyes.

After all, the Qin Dynasty also faced tremendous pressure from the Huns.

Therefore, Ying Zheng was quite concerned about matters concerning the Huns.

At first, he was slightly moved when he saw the mighty force of Attila's 500,000-man army.

But as the war progressed, Attila was defeated.

Ying Zheng also relaxed a lot.

"Although Attila had an army of 500,000, he was ultimately defeated."

"It seems that the Xiongnu can only attack small countries."

"My dear ministers, what do you think of this battle?"

Zhang Han responded with a folded hand: "Your Majesty, I think Attila may have made some mistakes in his tactics."

"The Visigoths are very powerful. Even after their king died, they continued to fight and unleashed their might."

“It’s hard to win quickly.”

"It would be better to focus on attacking the Roman legions that organized the coalition forces from the beginning."

"The Roman legions are weak in combat power and low in morale, but they are the core of the coalition forces."

"If Rome retreats even a little, the remaining barbarian tribes will surely flee in droves."

"The overall situation can be determined!"

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"Yes! He is a really good general!"

Sixteen Kingdoms.

Ran Min watched Attila being defeated in the sky.

It was a loud laugh.

"It's ridiculous that Attila was defeated with only 500,000 rabble!"

"Zahu is Zahu."

"Besides being able to give birth, it's good for nothing!"

An old member of the Beggars' Army said, "Attila's army looks pretty powerful, but the coalition forces are too stubborn."

Ran Min snorted coldly, "Humph, if I had this 500,000-man army, I would definitely kill the coalition forces without leaving a single piece of armor."

"I will lead the charge of the death squad and intimidate the enemy with my courage."

"Let the main army follow up and see how the coalition forces resist."

"Attila was too hesitant. He led an army of 500,000 but was timid and did not dare to attack with all his strength."

"It's not unfair to lose."

"I don't think Attila's style is that of a brave general from the northern steppes."

"He looks more like an old fox from the Central Plains!"

And the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin smiled faintly and asked Li Jing.

"Lord Wei, if you were to command the Battle of Shalon."

"How would you lead the Hun army to victory?"

Li Jing thought for a moment, then answered fluently:
"Attila had a large army but failed to use it effectively, and he did not identify the enemy's weaknesses."

"The opposing coalition forces are a mob."

"The core of the coalition is Rome."

"The main force of the coalition forces is the Visigoths."

"I will first find out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, use a clever strategy to disrupt their morale, and use the mobility of the cavalry to create gaps between the different armies of the coalition."

"Then use the elite troops to attack the vital points directly."

"Maybe we can win."

But Li Jing also said at the same time.

"War is all about strategic planning."

"In every battle, you must plan first and then act, only then can you be invincible."

"Attila attacked rashly, and the opposing coalition forces were fighting for survival. It was a rare moment of unity."

"Attila faced a united coalition and failed to divide his opponents, so his defeat was not unjust."

……

[Although the Battle of Chalons ended with Attila's withdrawal, this battle did not dispel his ambitions. ]

[Just one year later, Attila led his army again, crossed the Alps and marched towards the Italian peninsula.]

【Attila's army quickly captured many cities in northern Italy, such as Milan, Verona, etc.】

【The Italian peninsula was in chaos.】

【The city of Rome is also in danger. 】

[The Western Roman Emperor Valentinian III was terrified and hurriedly sent messengers to the Hun camp to ask Attila to stop the attack.]

【Just when Attila's army was about to reach the gates of Rome. 】

[Pope Leo I personally went to the Hun camp and held talks with Attila. ]

[The specific content of this meeting remains a mystery.]

[But surprisingly, after the talks, Attila decided to give up attacking Rome and led his army to withdraw to Eastern Europe.]

[Some people believe that it was Pope Leo I's persuasion and prayers that moved Attila.]

[Some people also believe that Attila was already at the end of his strength in Italy, facing logistical difficulties and plague. ]

[And the Eastern Roman enemy outflanked the Danube in the rear. ]

[Then he made the decision to withdraw his troops after extorting a sum of money.]

[In 453 AD, just as Attila was preparing to launch another war to expand the empire, he took a Germanic girl as his concubine on his wedding night.]

【He died suddenly.】

【The cause of Attila's death remains an unsolved mystery. 】

[Some people believe that he died from a ruptured blood vessel caused by excessive drinking.]

[Some people also speculated that he was assassinated.]

【Some people say he was poisoned by his bride in revenge.】

【Attila's death was a huge blow to the Hun Empire. 】

【His sons were involved in a fierce internal struggle for the throne.】

[The once powerful Hun Empire quickly declined after Attila's death.]

[And eventually disappeared in the long river of history. ]

【And Attila, the legendary figure known as the "Scourge of God", became one of the most famous conquerors in European history. 】

【To this day, Attila's ghost has never left Europe.】

[The Hungarian Prime Minister still claims that they are descendants of the Hungarians.]

[Hollywood made his story into a movie called "The Great Hun."]

[In various games, Attila also appears repeatedly as a conqueror who brings death and destruction. ]

【The name of the Scourge of God.】

[It has been resounding over Europe for more than a thousand years! ] [As for the relationship between the Huns and the Xiongnu? ]

[It has also been a classic topic in the study of Eurasian history.]

【Based on existing research, the academic community has not yet reached a consensus. 】

[However, the traditional view is that "Huns" is a Western transliteration of "Xiongnu". ]

[According to Chinese historical records, the Northern Huns migrated westward to Central Asia during the Eastern Han Dynasty, while European documents first mentioned the rise of the Huns in the 4th century, a time difference of about 300 years.]

[Some scholars speculate that the remnants of the Xiongnu may have migrated through Central Asia and merged with local ethnic groups, eventually entering Europe as "Huns."]

[For example, the Book of Wei records that the Xiongnu conquered the Kingdom of Yancai, which was the country of the Alans, around 365 AD, which is highly consistent with the time when the Xiongnu conquered the Kingdom of Alans.]

[The Xiongnu and the Huns were also classic nomadic alliances.]

[However, based on genetics and linguistics, it was discovered that there was a large difference between the Huns and the Xiongnu.]

The more mainstream view in modern times is:

[The Huns may be a new hybrid formed by the integration of the Huns with the Central Asian Sakas, Alans and other ethnic groups during the long period of hundreds of years during their westward migration.]

【French scholar Wei Yitian through Central Asian literature and archaeological evidence. 】

[It points out that the names, military technology and some cultural symbols of the Xiongnu people have traces of cross-civilization communication with the Xiongnu.]

【Japanese scholars proposed. 】

[Even the orthodox Xiongnu at the beginning was essentially a political alliance title of grassland tribes.]

Rather than a single ethnic group.

[The Huns were probably not a single ethnic group either, but inherited the symbolic meaning of the name, and were also a multi-tribal alliance on the grassland.]

[In other words: the Huns are the descendants of the Xiongnu. ]

[However, the Huns, whose bloodline was already impure, became even more impure after migrating westward for 200 years.]

The canopy ends here.

Barrages of bullets flew out one after another.

"DNA confirms that the Huns were Xiongnu, published in Nature magazine."

"In any case, the Huns are most likely Xiongnu, but they have nothing to do with Hungarians."

"The ancient Magyars of Hungary were not direct descendants of the Huns, but were probably nomadic tribes that were ruled by the Huns and accepted their culture."

《It was the Xiongnu who were defeated by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing! 》

"The Xiongnu are much more organized and culturally advanced than the Huns!"

"The Xiongnu people themselves were a collection of tribes, regardless of blood ties. Maodun was the one who unified the various tribes in the east and west."

"The ruling group of the Huns, according to genetic testing, came from northern China or Mongolia."

"The high-ranking officials are Xiongnu, and most of the ordinary Xiongnu tribesmen are from other nomadic tribes in the surrounding areas."

"The monster from East Asia couldn't move, so he ran to the West and became invincible."

"Former Zhao: I can't roll it up?"

"When Attila was rampant in Europe, the Five Barbarians were invading China and the Yuanjia period was in vain. No one should laugh at anyone else."

"Attila and Tuoba Tao are of the same age."

"Attila is the Scourge of God? Then what is Genghis Khan?"

"Genghis Khan died before he could conquer Europe. It was his descendants who conquered Europe."

"Attila was an atypical barbarian. He grew up in the Roman court."

"What Liu Yuan?"

"The relationship between the Huns and the Xiongnu is like the relationship between the Ottomans and the Turkic Khanate."

"There are too many nomadic people on the grasslands between Europe and Asia. A boss emerges from the internal chicken-eating game. They are like the boss. "

"Just check the family tree and you'll know."

"The nomadic people themselves don't know where to find out."

"The Xiongnu themselves had no written language, so it would be nice if there was a written record."

……

And outside the sky.

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back.

Watched the entire video carefully.

After seeing the Huns disappear in the long river of history.

A complex emotion arose in Ying Zheng's heart.

"These Huns are just a bunch of mixed people."

Turning to look at Li Si, Ying Zheng said: "Although the Huns may be on the rise for a while, they will never achieve great things."

Li Si bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right. Although the Huns have stirred up trouble in Europe, it will not last long."

"They are just nomadic people with barbaric habits. Although they can be violent for a while, they don't know how to govern a country."

"Its rise was sudden, and its fall was sudden; it had no solid foundation and was gone in a flash."

Ying Zheng nodded.

He couldn't help but say with some regret:

"It says on the sky curtain that the Xiongnu were completely defeated by the Han Dynasty in later generations, so they moved away."

"This group of defeated generals can be so arrogant in Europe, which shows how weak European countries are."

"If my Great Qin Iron Army can go to Europe."

"We will definitely be able to wipe them out along with the Huns, and bring the whole world under the control of the Qin Empire."

Han Dynasty.

Huo Qubing stared at the sky with burning eyes.

"Haha, I never thought that these Huns would be so warlike after arriving in Europe."

"Our great Han cavalry defeated the Xiongnu in the northern desert, but these remnants are now bullying their way around Europe."

"What is the Whip of God?"

"What if I, a general who specializes in killing Huns, were to go there? What would that mean?"

"Looking at the fighting power of the Huns, it is estimated that 20,000 Han cavalry can directly charge and completely penetrate them!"

"Let those Europeans and the Roman Empire see the might of the Han army!"

And in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Huan Wen was also quite disdainful after watching the video.

"The Huns in Europe, a bunch of mixed barbarians not even in the Five Barbarians sequence, could actually stir up such a storm in Europe."

“It’s really surprising.”

"I thought Europe was very strong before."

"Now it seems that the European countries are too weak. Even our defeated generals in the Central Plains can act recklessly there."

However, Huan Wen spoke with pride and complacency.

But Huan Wen added:
"Looking at the era that Tianmu mentioned, the Hun Empire is currently at its peak in Europe."

"According to conservative estimates, the Huns have more than 200,000 soldiers!"

“I don’t know if they will return eastward through the prairie.”

"We must be on guard and not let the Xiongnu in the north unite with their descendants, the Huns."

"Otherwise, two hundred thousand barbarians will return."

"I'm afraid the harm they will cause is no less than that of the Jiehu, who were also separated from the Xiongnu!" (End of this chapter)
