The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 325 Chapter 324
Outside Jicheng, the Wuhuan people are filling up the moat with soil in full swing. After the victory just now, the morale of the Wuhuan people has become even higher.

Now, every Wuhuan person's mind is on how to plunder property after the city of Jicheng is captured.

In order to reward the three armies, Ta Dun allowed the army to start looting for three days after breaking through Jicheng, and all property belonged to the individual.

This undoubtedly greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the Wuhuan people. They worked hard to carry the soil, hoping to fill up the moat as soon as possible, and then approach the city with troops to break through Jicheng.

Most of the Wuhuan people's army are not regular professional soldiers, but herdsmen on the grassland. They serve as soldiers in wartime and civilians in leisure time. In addition, the living conditions on the grassland are limited and the source of income is single, so most of them Herdsmen are poor and white.

Because of this, every time the tribe organizes a large army to go to plunder, these herdsmen are very enthusiastic, because in the plunder, except for some things that must be handed over to the leader, the rest can be kept for private use, and people who are robbed are slaves. It's all his own to grab the property. Who doesn't like to do this kind of thing?
However, the rate of return of looting also coexists with risks. If you encounter stubborn resistance, you may lose your life.Once he died, the things he robbed would be shared by the rest of the people, and the family didn't even have a condolence money.

The materials on the grassland are extremely scarce, and the iron mines are firmly controlled by the Xianbei people, so the Wuhuan people basically don't have decent armor. The great thing is that they wear a piece of animal skin and put a wooden board on it. , but when they faced the resistance of the regular army, these defensive devices could not protect them from harm at all.

Therefore, in the past looting process, many Wuhuan people died.

However, since Ta Dun made a trade with Li Cai and got the batch of excellent armor and weapons, the casualties of his troops have plummeted.In addition, Tadun followed the example of the Han Dynasty and formed an army composed of formal professional soldiers, following the title of cavalry in Wuhuan's heyday, called Wuhuan Tuqi.

During the period between the two Han Dynasties, Wuhuan Tuqi was gradually formed. During this period, Wuhuan Tuqi was invincible. Neither the Han people nor the Huns were the opponents of Wuhuan Tuqi.

The Wuhuan people selected elite cavalry and good archers from the herdsmen to form a team. This is the origin of Wuhuan Tuqi.Wuhuan Tuqi played the role of charging, assaulting and destroying the enemy's positions in combat. Although there were not many Wuhuan Tuqi, their combat effectiveness was very strong, so they became famous in the world.

However, with the gradual decline of the Wuhuan people and the gradual strength of the Xianbei people, the Wuhuan Tuqi gradually existed in name only. By the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Wuhuan people could organize less than 1000 Tuqi troops.

However, Ta Dun reorganized the Wuhuan Tuqi, and it grew to 5000 people, not only serving as the main force of the army, but also led by Wu Menghu.

At this moment, Wu Menghu and Wuhuan Tuqi, who had just made meritorious service, were receiving rewards from the great Shan Yu Tadun in the camp, drinking in large bowls and eating meat in large pieces.

Because Wu Yan was killed, the tribe cannot be without a leader, so Tadun elected Wu Menghu to be the leader of their tribe, and the rest of the people didn't have any opinions, thinking that Wu Menghu was the leader of the tribe. return thing.

Wu Menghu and five thousand Wuhuan Tuqi were drinking heartily in the big camp, while outside the big camp, Ta Dun handed over the filling of the moat to his younger brother Lou Ban.

Louban is ten years younger than Tadun, and he is not yet full this year. According to the customs of the Wuhuan people, when a man reaches his full age, he becomes an adult, and there will be a coming-of-age ceremony.Now, there are still a few months before Louban's coming-of-age ceremony. Once the coming-of-age ceremony is held, he will be able to become an adult of the tribe.

Lou Ban's father was Qiu Liju, who was originally Lord Wuhuan of the Liaoxi Tribe. Liju's nephew Tadun took the opportunity to seize the position of Lord Wuhuan and became the new leader of the tribe.

Of course, when Ta Dun gave the explanation to others, he temporarily took the position of tribal leader, and returned the position to Lou Ban when he became an adult.

But in fact, Ta Dun didn't want Lou Ban to be the leader of the tribe at all, and he wouldn't really give Lou Ban the title.But in Lou Ban's heart, he firmly believed in Ta Dun's words, and fantasized every day that as long as he passed the coming-of-age ceremony, he would be able to take over the position of tribal leader.

Lou Ban was outside directing the Wuhuan people to fill the moat with soil, but his mind was not on it, and he didn't know where he was flying.

The Wuhuan people followed Ta Dun's order to fill up the moat around the gate of the city, and they were working in full swing.

Suddenly, the sound of the rumbling war drums was sounded again, and Yan Rou led the army to kill out of the city. They were still all archers, and they shot at the Wuhuan people on the other side of the moat, breaking the original barrier here. calm.

When Lou Ban saw this, he ordered the Wuhuan people to fight back, and dispatched guards to guard him. The whole army attacked, tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalrymen confronted the archers led by Yan Rou again.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Arrows flew back and forth between the two armies, people were shot to death by random arrows, and the screams were endless.

Lou Ban was watching the battle from behind, seeing the situation on the battlefield, he could only feel the blood in his body boiling, and the horses under him were also eager to try, almost wanting to gallop wildly and charge into the battle.

However, Lou Ban still held back his own thoughts after all. After all, his force is not strong, if he goes rashly, he will definitely be shot to death by the enemy's random arrows.

On the tower, Cheng Yu was frowning all the time, looking at Yan Rou who was leading the army to shoot at the Wuhuan people below the city, not to mention how anxious he was.

The Wuhuan people, on the other hand, maintained a stepped attack from the beginning to the end. After the arrows were shot out, they retreated quickly. Another wave of cavalry shot out the arrows. The third and fourth waves , the fifth wave...

The arrows were like rain, and they shot at Yan Rou and the others uninterruptedly. Yan Rou suffered a lot of casualties. In just one stick of incense, two thousand archers had already died under the enemy's random arrows.

Although Cheng Yu knew that Yan Rou's doing this was tantamount to sending her to death, but other than this method, she couldn't find any way to stop the Wuhuan Army.

At this moment, Cheng Yu only hoped that Yan Rou could hold on as long as possible.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the city wall of Jicheng, casting a layer of golden light on Jicheng.

At this time, a group of cavalry came rapidly from the horizon with the sun behind them. The cavalry approached from far to near, but because the sunlight behind them was so dazzling that the group of cavalry was somewhat backlit, and their faces and clothes could not be seen clearly.

Gradually, this cavalry slowly approached Jicheng, and when the sun set on the other side of the mountain, the appearance of these cavalry appeared in Cheng Yu's eyes.

The black military uniform and the black and bright Xuanjia are the reinforcements!
Cheng Yu was overjoyed to see this cavalry approaching quickly, and he also knew the leader, Dian Wei, Cao Cao's personal bodyguard.

Dian Wei led only about [-] cavalry, and the horses under his seat were all black. The horses were all strong and vigorous, soaring on all fours.

These thousand cavalry are all strong, burly, and powerful. This is a cavalry that Cao Cao has just formed - the tiger and leopard cavalry!

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had just been formed not long ago, and its soldiers were all as good as a hundred. It can be said that this cavalry is the best of the best in Cao Cao's army.

This cavalry did not fly any banners, and quickly charged from the west. Dian Wei clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and held two big iron halberds in both hands. He took the lead and rushed directly into the Wuhuan camp. Dianwei stabbed the two Wuhuan men off their horses as soon as they raised their halberds.

And the one thousand tiger and leopard riders behind Dianwei are indeed just like the name of their army, they are all as fierce as tigers and leopards, once they rush into the Wuhuan camp, they look like hungry tigers After entering the flock of sheep, he kept waving the weapon in his hand, killing the Wuhuan people under their horses, leaving their bloody flesh trampled by iron hooves.

The sudden attack of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry threw the Wuhuan people into disarray, and with the cooperation of Yan Rou and other archers, the casualties of the Wuhuan people began to rise sharply.

The Wuhuan people rode war horses, and wanted to distance themselves with bows and arrows to greet the tiger and leopard riders, but the tiger and leopard riders suddenly scattered, and a group of people came who broke up into parts and took individuals as units. The rampage in the camp caused chaos among the Wuhuan people.

On the tower of Jicheng, Cheng Yu watched Dianwei's tiger and leopard cavalry generals kill the Wuhuan people, his mood also changed from cloudy to sunny, and his face was even more joyful.

"Cheng Biejia, look, our reinforcements are here!" Tian Yu suddenly pointed to the western horizon, a group of black people were coming here, and a big flag with the word "Cao" in white on a black background was fluttering in the wind. Cao Cao, with golden helmet and armor, exudes dazzling light.

"The whole army goes out!" Cheng Yu thought that the time had come, and immediately ordered the whole army to go out, preparing to cooperate with the reinforcements from inside and outside, attacking back and forth, and completely defeated the Wuhuan people.

Following Cheng Yu's order, both Tian Yu and Tian Chou were so excited that they walked down the tower one after another, gathered their soldiers and horses, and rushed out with the army.

Tian Yu took the lead, led the cavalry, along the suspension bridge that had just been lowered, rushed into the Wuhuan camp, flanked the tiger and leopard riders back and forth, and killed the Wuhuan people.

Lou Ban, who had been watching the battle, was stunned when he saw the stabbing. He didn't know what to do. The palm-sized space in front of him was crowded with people. Yes, it seemed like they couldn't kill them all, but the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry was at a disadvantage, and it was already on the verge of defeat.

"What should I do?" Lou Ban had never commanded a battle, and was at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.

The danger was approaching Louban bit by bit, Dian Wei's face was ashen, staring at Louban with sharp eyes, holding the twin iron halberds in his hands, he galloped wildly, and stabbed towards Louban.

Poor Lou Ban didn't realize the danger until Dian Wei was twenty steps away from him. He wanted to escape, but at the critical moment, the horse under his seat was unwilling to turn around, and stood there dumbfounded.

In just a moment, a pair of big iron halberds charged towards Lou Ban with a mighty force.

"what--"

Lou Ban was caught off guard and was stabbed to death by Dian Wei with a pair of iron halberds. Then he lifted Lou Ban's body high above his head and shouted at the Wuhuan people: "I have killed your leader. Anyone who still wants to die, come at me!"
