I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 55, unexpected joy

The old man Wang's kiln factory also stopped working, and the old man Wang himself took a group of highly skilled carpenters to the forest to cut down huge trees, and then made trebuchets one by one.He knew that these trebuchets were Mayi's trump card. Every time he made one more trebuchet, Mayi could save several people from dying.

The women and children were all concentrated in Mayi County. They gathered together to find ways to weave rattan armor and rattan shields, and try their best to do their part for everyone.

And Niu Gui used the relationship he had established in the Huns tribe in the past two months to inquire about the news of the Huns. It can be said that each of the 20 people is contributing to the upcoming war.

In less than 3 days, Niu Laohan's ironworks produced all the cavalry equipment.

After having these new equipment, Wang Lei was overjoyed. He led 2000 cavalry, with Mayi as the center, and wiped out horse bandits and bandits everywhere.

Although these horse bandits are determined to attack Mayi, after all, the Tuma bandits have no organizational power. Many horse bandits can't help but approach Mayi city slowly with greed in their hearts, wanting to see what advantages they can take.Most of these horse bandits are hundreds or thousands of people, gathered by several familiar horse bandits.

And they were caught by Wang Lei.

After Wang Lei found them, he first sent a wave of crossbow arrows, shot and killed a group of horse bandits, and then rushed up to kill them!

Although the horse bandits were shocked by the crossbow arrows, their ferocity was also aroused. They slashed at Wang Lei and the others with cruel smiles!

"Ding ding ding!" The two sides quickly strangled together, but the horse bandits were surprised to find that their enemy could not be killed, even if they saw Wang Lei and his armor ping-pong, but even their scimitars It has been cut bluntly, but it still looks like the enemy's armor. If it is one piece or two pieces of treasure armor, it will be fine, but this is two thousand people wearing treasure armor.

What surprised them even more was that the saber in Wang Lei's hands could easily cut off their scimitars and leather armor. In just one round of fighting, half of them fell down.

The horse bandits who survived were shocked. These people not only have invulnerable armor, but also a treasured sword that breaks jade and divides gold. They don't talk about martial arts!
The leader of the horse bandit roared angrily: "What kind of hero is relying on precious armor and swords, if you have the ability to lose these, we will fight alone!"

Wang Lei laughed and said, "You horse bandits dare to call you heroes!"

"You wait, I still have brothers!" After saying that, the leader of the horse bandit ran away.

Even Wang Lei was stunned. He didn't expect this bandit leader to be so strong in the outside world. He ran away after only one round of fighting, and he didn't even want his own men.

In fact, this is the norm, even if more than half of the casualties of the elite troops have to escape, let alone this group of horse bandits.After they realized that Wang Lei and the others were not easy to mess with, they all turned around and ran away.

After reacting, Wang Lei roared angrily: "Don't even try to run!"

After speaking, he led the cavalry to round up these horse bandits. Except for a few horse bandits who escaped, most of the horse bandits were caught by Wang Lei, and this included the horse bandit leader just now.

Wang Lei brought these horse bandits back to Mayi!
Xu Wei interrogated the leader of the horse bandits and found that the situation was much better than he thought. There were about 3 to 4 horse bandits who wanted to come to Mayi to grab a vote, and they were formed by hundreds of large and small bandits.

The Huns originally wanted to unite them to deal with Xu Wei. At first, these horse bandits knew that they had a small capital and were willing to use the Huns as the main force. I am willing to be the cannon fodder of the Huns again, and I also have opinions on the way of wealth distribution, and I don’t want to let the Huns take the lead
So after a few more exchanges between the two sides, they fell out. Even these horse bandits simply robbed several tribes of the Huns, and the two sides turned against each other. Naturally, it was impossible to say anything about unity.Even the Huns had to guard against the horse bandits they had summoned.

And now these horse bandits are gathering in Dingxiang County to kill Mayi. Of course, because hundreds of horse bandits converge, they all have their own ghosts, and there is no one who makes up their minds, so these 3 to 4 horse bandits Scattered into a group, the front has come to Mayi, but there are still many horse bandits who have not left in Dingxiang County.

Knowing that the horse bandits gathered in Dingxiang County, Wang Lei said to Xu Wei, "Captain, God is helping us. These horse bandits are really asking for their own death."

It turns out that Dingxiang County is located in the east of Xinding Basin.Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the territory is surrounded by rivers.The terrain of the whole county is dustpan-shaped from east to west. As long as Xu Wei and the others go north, they can directly block all the escape routes of these bandits.

You must know that Xu Wei only has two thousand cavalry. If he wants to fight these horse bandits on the grassland, even if he can defeat them, it will be difficult to cause much damage to them, and they will easily escape.If they escaped and they surrounded Mayi like flies, Mayi would not want to build.

And in Dingxiang County, these horse bandits have become the turtles in the urn, and they can be wiped out.

But Xu Wei worried: "If we take the initiative to attack, our cavalry is not enough! And the infantry can't keep up!"

Only defending against the enemy, Xu Wei still has a little confidence in defeating the enemy with his spear phalanx. In this era, there is no golden age of cavalry. It may be that without horseshoes, stirrups, and high bridge saddles, the cavalry's assault performance is not strong enough.

The infantry phalanx of this era can still withstand the impact of cavalry. The most notable example is that Li Ling's 5000 infantry can resist the Huns' 8 cavalry.Although it has been more than 300 years now, cavalry tactics have not improved much.

But if the infantry attacked the cavalry, it would be a bit of a fantasy. It is impossible for two legs to outrun the four legs of the cavalry, so the most important unit on the grassland is the cavalry, but Xu Wei and the others came to the grassland for too short a time up.

Even with the captured Gongsun Zan's war horse and the war horse bought by Xu Wei, there is no shortage of war horses, but only 20 of the 2000 of them are suitable to become cavalry, and if they want to defeat tens of thousands of horse bandits with 2000 cavalry, even if they are a mob, It's still a bit of a fantasy.

But Wang Lei said: "Captain, although we have only 2000 cavalry, we have more than 2 horses here. The infantry can't keep up with the horses. Who else in the north can't ride a horse!"

The reason why the strong Han will stay in the Du Han to perish is because of the abundance of martial arts. Every county in the Da Han has an arsenal, and every year the people are organized to perform martial arts. Although many of these inheritances were cut off at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are still many places. Continuing this tradition, although few of the refugees who came with Xu Wei were proficient in riding, there were a lot of people who could ride horses, and more than half of them were better at riding than Xu Wei.
