188.Chapter 188: Attachment
Both sides of the battle were taken aback by the sudden appearance of cavalry.
Jiang Wu looked at the banner of the word 'Chen', his heart moved slightly, and he thought: "Could this be the army of the Han people?" ”
As long as the cavalry that came over was not Xianbei, it was a good thing for these horse thieves.
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"
The cavalry that came over suddenly shouted such a slogan, which shocked all the warring sides.
"They're the Yellow Turbans?"
The horse thieves were surprised, because they never thought that the Yellow Turban Army would not only dare to send troops to attack the Xianbei people, but also dare to enter the outside of the fortress and come to attack the Xianbei royal court.
The Xianbei people were surprised because they had already heard about the Yellow Turban Army that had robbed the Xianbei people's camp and killed the Xianbei Khan on the banks of the Yuhe River.
These Xianbei people who stayed in Danhan Mountain, although they had never seen the Yellow Turban Army, their fear of the Yellow Turban Army in their hearts was very strong.
Originally, there was only an attack by horse thieves, and they could barely hold on. But another brave and warlike cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, the Xianbei people of Danhan Mountain, all began to despair.
"Drive!"
Tang Chen and Zhao Huang took the lead, came to the edge of the battlefield, and shouted at Jiang Wu: "Xiaode, do you remember us?" ”
Jiang Wu raised his eyes and saw Tang Chen and Zhao Huang, and was immediately overjoyed.
In the grasslands outside the Seychelles, there have always been horse thieves. As long as the Xianbei people go south to plunder, there will always be homeless Han people who enter the grassland to become horse thieves in order to take revenge.
But nine years ago, another team appeared, they were united and elite, and they were constantly looking for trouble with the Xianbei people, that is, Zhao Huang and Tang Chen, the cavalry they led.
It is very easy for two forces with the same purpose to reach a common language.
Zhao Huang's cavalry, although the combat effectiveness is strong, but the understanding of the outside of the fortress is far inferior to the horse thieves on the grassland.
The horse thieves outside the fortress are scattered in various places, and their individual groups may not be very powerful. If you think of the horse thieves as a group, they are all over the grasslands.
In the past, Zhao Huang and others obtained information about the Xianbei people from horse thieves. It can be said that without the help of the horse thieves, Zhao Huang and the others might have been exterminated by the Xianbei people long ago.
This is also why, when Tian Feng proposed to Chen Xu to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Zhao Huang and Tang Chen would react like that.
They are familiar with many horse thieves on the grassland, and they owe a lot of favors to them.
When Chen Xu heard about the Han identity of the horse thieves and what they had done in the past, he did not hesitate at all, and summoned the Yellow Turban Army to support them.
Jiang Wu hacked a Xianbei woman to death and shouted, "You are also here to kill the Xianbei dog?" ”
Tang Chen laughed out loud and said, "My family master was just going to lead troops to raid Danhan Mountain, but he didn't expect to be preempted by you!" ”
Jiang Wu had known about the two of them for a long time, and led his cavalry to the Yellow Turban Army. Otherwise, he would not have joined forces with the other horse thieves and wanted to break through Danhan Mountain first, and then go to the Yellow Turban.
Being a horse thief to take revenge on the grassland is not a long-term solution after all. Perhaps they harbored Manchu resentment at first, but after a long time, they would always get tired of this life.
If they can defect to the Yellow Turban Army, according to the Yellow Turban Army's actions, they will definitely have a chance to fight the Xianbei people in the future. And if the Yellow Turban Army can really succeed, they will also be able to find a good home and shelter their children.
Jiang Wu was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a group of generals, surrounded by a young general, stepping forward. With a wave of the spear in his hand, the Yellow Turban Army behind him was all lined up in a neat line, ready to charge.
"Could it be that he is Chen Wenzhao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army?"
Looking at that face that was a little too young, Jiang Wu secretly guessed in his heart.
As if sensing Jiang Wu's gaze, Chen Xu turned his head to look at him with a gentle smile on his face.
Suddenly, Chen Xu's eyes narrowed, and he quickly took off the big bow on the horse's back, and then bent the bow and shot at Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu was horrified when he saw Chen Xu's movements, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge the arrows.
"Poof!"
The arrow shot by Chen Xu crossed the position where Jiang Wu was just and shot a Xianbei person.
Jiang Wu only realized at this time that there were few brothers beside him. He was distracted on the battlefield just now, if it weren't for Chen Xu's arrow, he might have died here.
Glancing at Chen Xu gratefully, he didn't dare to continue to be distracted, holding the big knife in his hand to concentrate on fighting with the Xianbei people.
When Chen Xu looked at the Xianbei camp, many of them were old people, children and women, and his face showed a shocked expression.
But he suddenly remembered the Yellow Turban Army who died in battle, and remembered the tragedy in Macheng, so he forcibly suppressed the unbearable in his heart, and shouted: "The target is Xianbei people, the whole army charges, and those who resist will be killed!" ”
As Chen Xu's voice fell, the six thousand five hundred Yellow Turban Army all shouted and killed on the battlefield.
When the horse thieves saw the reinforcements coming, they all roared loudly with excitement, shouting and killing the Xianbei people beside them.
After a long battle, the number of horse thieves has been reduced from 4,000 to less than 3,000 now. But the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army gave each of them a boost in their hearts.
On the other hand, the Xianbei people, although they still did not give up resistance. But many people's faces have shown a look of despair.
"Boom!"
The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army rushed into the battlefield like a torrent, and immediately changed the tide of battle.
The Xianbei people, who had lost their morale, became vulnerable under the joint efforts of the powerful Yellow Turban Army and the horse thieves.
As long as there is an enemy on the other side, whether it is an old man, a child, or a woman, the Yellow Turbans will not hesitate to wave their weapons and cut off their heads.
On the battlefield, there is no right or wrong, only life and death, victory and defeat.
"Ahhh
A Xianbei leader, seeing his people die under the butcher's knife of the Han people, couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.
He waved the weapon in his hand and shouted loudly in Xianbei language: "Those Han people will never let us go." Rather than be slaughtered by them, it is better to fight to the death. ”
"Warriors of the tribe, women, take up arms and kill these Han people!"
As soon as the Xianbei leader finished shouting, he was killed by Zhao Yun with an arrow.
Chen Xu, Dian Wei, and Chen Hu each took some soldiers and charged to the places of those Xianbei leaders to carry out beheading operations.
The Xianbei leaders were killed one after another, and the Xianbei people who had just mustered up their courage suddenly had a great drop in morale.
They didn't care about the fight, and they scattered and fled. Some of the women were lucky, hoping that the Yellow Turbans would not kill them and surrender on their knees.
"Kill!"
Jiang Wu shouted loudly, bloodthirsty desire flashing in his eyes. He led the surviving horse thieves in a desperate pursuit of the fleeing Xianbei people.
Chen Xu asked the Yellow Turban Army to leave half of the people to collect the prisoners and count the supplies. The rest of the Yellow Turban Army, under the leadership of Zhao Yun and others, went to hunt down and kill those Xianbei people.
Whether it was to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, or to recapture the horses they had ridden, there was no reason why the Yellow Turbans should not pursue.
This battle lasted until the evening, when the Yellow Turban Army and the horse thieves rushed back to Danhan Mountain.
Due to the appearance of horse thieves, the casualties of the Yellow Turbans were much lower. Even so, more than 400 people of the Yellow Turban Army were killed in battle.
Of the 4,000 horse thieves, there are now only about 2,000 left.
This time to break through the Xianbei royal court, the seized materials can be said to be countless.
Not to mention the countless cattle and sheep, those animal skins and precious metals alone are no less than all the collections of the Yellow Turban Army.
Although the Yellow Turban Army has broken through some counties, their foundation is still too weak after all, and they cannot be compared with the Xianbei Royal Court, which has accumulated two generations.
Leaving aside the rest of the loot, what made Chen Xu happiest was undoubtedly the tens of thousands of war horses.
Although most of these war horses are horses, because the good war horses have been ridden away by the Xianbei warriors who followed and went out to fight.
But for the Yellow Turban Army, these war horses are still a great fortune.
Chen Xu was immersed in great joy, and suddenly someone came to report that Jiang Wu had returned to Danhan Mountain with some horse thief leaders.
When Chen Xu heard this, he glanced at Tian Feng, and they both saw a tangled look in the other party's eyes.
With so much loot, if it can be swallowed alone, it will definitely be a great benefit for the Yellow Turban Army.
But this time to break through Danhan Mountain, those horse thieves also made a lot of effort. If the Yellow Turbans don't give them some loot, I'm afraid it's a little unreasonable.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xu gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, these people are warriors who have been fighting against the Xianbei people, and I must not treat them badly." ”
After Tian Feng heard Chen Xu's words, he sighed slightly. The lord of his own family is good at everything, but sometimes he is too benevolent and righteous.
With such a big fortune, even brothers will turn their faces, let alone the Yellow Turban Army and those horse thieves?
And now the strength of the Yellow Turban Army is stronger than that of the horse thieves, if they swallow it alone, although those horse thieves will have resentment in their hearts, they will not dare to say anything.
Chen Xu led Tian Feng and went out to greet Jiang Wu and the others.
After everyone entered the tent, Chen Xu just wanted to talk about the distribution of the spoils, but suddenly saw these horse thief leaders kneeling on the ground.
The leader of the horse thieves, Lao Hei, died in battle, and now Jiang Wu's status among them has become very high.
He spoke on behalf of the crowd and said, "We are all horse thieves in the grassland, and we have been living in a fixed place and afloat. We and our brothers are tired of this kind of life. ”
"The general's name, even those of us who are reckless outside the fortress have already heard of it."
"If the general does not give up, we are willing to lead our brothers to join the general!"
Suddenly hearing Jiang Wu's words, the Yellow Turban generals were all shocked. They didn't expect that this fierce horse thief who dared to attack Danhan Mountain actually wanted to defect to the Yellow Turban Army.
Before Chen Xu came back to his senses, he heard the rest of the horse thief leaders and said loudly: "Please also ask the general to take it in!" ”
Chen Xu had long coveted these brave and warlike horse thieves, and he was naturally overjoyed to see that they were willing to defect to the Yellow Turban.
Helping them up one by one, Chen Xu said: "I don't dare to ask for ears!" ”
