324 Haw Par reinforcements
Outside Jicheng, the Wuhuan people are in full swing to fill the moat, and after the victory just now, the morale of the Wuhuan people has become even higher.
Now, what every Wuhuan person thinks about is how to loot the property after breaking through Jicheng.
In order to reward the three armies, Badun allowed the army to break through Jicheng and loot for three days, and all the property belonged to individuals.
This undoubtedly greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the Wuhuan people, and they worked hard to carry the soil, hoping to fill the moat as soon as possible, and then the troops came to the city to break through Jicheng.
In the army of the Wuhuan people, most of them are not regular professional soldiers, but nomadic herdsmen in the grassland, soldiers in wartime, and people in leisure time, plus the living conditions on the grassland are limited, and the economic source is single, so most of the herdsmen are poor and white.
Because of this, every time the tribe organizes a large army to loot, these herdsmen are very enthusiastic, because in the looting, except for some things to be handed over to the leader, the rest can be kept for private use, robbing people is slaves, robbing property is their own, this kind of thing, who doesn't like to do it?
However, the rate of return on looting also coexists with risks, and if you encounter stubborn resistance, you are likely to lose your life. Once you die, the things you have stolen will be emptied by the rest of the people, and you won't even have a condolence money at home.
The materials on the grassland are extremely scarce, and the iron-producing mines are firmly controlled by the Xianbei people, so the Wuhuan people basically have no decent armor, and the great thing is that they are covered with a piece of animal skin and a wooden plank to be considered armor, but when they face the resistance of the regular army, these defensive equipment cannot protect them from harm at all.
So. In the course of previous looting. There are also many Wuhuan people who have died.
But. Since he and Li Cai traded and obtained the fine armor and weapons, the number of casualties among his troops plummeted. In addition, Buntun followed the example of the Han Dynasty and formed an army composed of formal professional soldiers, inheriting the title of cavalry during the Wuhuan period, called the Wuhuan Tucai.
During the period when the two Han Dynasty alternated, it was the time when the Wuhuan Tuqi gradually formed. During this period, the Wuhuan Tuqi was invincible, and neither the Han nor the Huns were the opponents of the Wuhuan Tucai.
The Wuhuan people selected from the herdsmen to form a team of people who were good at shooting and could recruit people who were accustomed to fighting, which was the origin of the Wuhuan Tucai. The Wuhuan cavalry plays the role of charging, assaulting and destroying the enemy's position in the battle, although the number of Wuhuan cavalry is not large, but the combat effectiveness is very strong, so it has become a famous cavalry in the world.
But with the gradual decline of the Wuhuan people in the future. and the gradual strengthening of the Xianbei people, and the Wuhuan Tuqi gradually existed in name only. By the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the number of Raiders that the Wuhuan people could organize was less than a thousand.
However, Bunton re-organized the Wuhuan Tucai and grew to 5,000 people, not only as the main force in the army, but also under the leadership of Wu Menghu.
At this moment, Wu Menghu and Wuhuan Tu cavalry, who had just made meritorious deeds, were receiving a reward from Da Dan Yu Dun in the big camp, drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat in large pieces.
Because Uyan was killed, the tribe could not live without a leader, so Badun recommended Wu Menghu to be the lord of their tribe, and the rest of the people had no opinion, thinking that it was a matter of deserving of Wu Menghu to be the head of the tribe.
Wu Menghu and 5,000 Wuhuan Tuqi were drinking heartily in the camp, while outside the camp, Bandun handed over the matter of filling the moat to his younger brother Lou Ban.
Lou Ban is ten years younger than Badun, and he has not yet turned eighteen this year, according to the custom of the Wuhuan people, when a man reaches the age of eighteen, he is an adult, and a coming-of-age ceremony is held. Now, there are still a few months before Lou Ban's coming-of-age ceremony, and once the coming-of-age ceremony is held, he can become an adult of the tribe.
Lou Ban's father was Qiu Liju, who was originally the Wuhuan Lord of the Western Liaoxi Tribe, but after Qiu Liju's death, Lou Ban should have succeeded Qiu Liju's position, but Lou Ban was young at that time and could not be a director, so Qiu Liju's nephew Bun Dun took the opportunity to seize the position of Lord Wuhuan of the tribe and became the new leader of the tribe.
Of course, when he gave people the title, he temporarily replaced the position of the tribal leader, and when Lou Ban became an adult, he returned the position to him.
But in fact, Badun didn't want Lou Ban to be the leader of the tribe at all, and he wouldn't really give Lou Ban. But in Lou Ban's heart, he was convinced of Badun's words, and he fantasized every day that as long as he passed the coming-of-age ceremony, he could take over the position of tribal leader.
Lou Ban was outside directing the Wuhuan people to carry the soil to fill the moat, but his mind was not on it, and he didn't know where to fly for a long time.
The Wuhuan people followed the instructions of Badun to fill in the moat around the city gate, and they were in full swing.
Suddenly, the rumbling war drums were beaten again, and Yan Rou led the army out of the city, still all archers, and they shot at the Wuhuan people on the other side of the moat, breaking the original peace here.
Seeing this, Lou Ban let the Wuhuan people start to counterattack, and sent the guards guarding his side, and the whole army attacked, and tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry confronted the archers led by Yan Rou again.
"Whoosh ......"
Arrows kept flying between the two armies, and people were constantly killed by random arrows, and the screams were endless.
Lou Ban watched the battle from behind, and when he saw the situation on the battlefield, he only felt that his blood was boiling, and together with the war horse under his seat, he was also eager to try, and almost wanted to ride his horse and gallop wildly, charging into battle.
However, Lou Ban finally resisted this thought, after all, his force was not strong, and if he went rashly, he would definitely be killed by the enemy's random arrows.
On the city tower, Cheng Yu had been frowning, looking at Yan Rou who was leading the army to shoot at the Wuhuan people under the city, not to mention how anxious he was.
The Wuhuan people, on the other hand, maintained a step-by-step attack from beginning to end, and after the arrows were shot out on this side, they quickly retreated, and another wave of cavalry shot out of the arrows, the third, fourth, and fifth waves......
The arrows rained down like rain, shooting at Yan Rou and the others without interruption, and Yan Rou's side suffered quite a lot of casualties, only a stick of incense. Two thousand archers had already died under the enemy's indiscriminate arrows.
Although Cheng Yu knew that Yan Rou was sending her to death by doing so. But except after this method. There is no longer 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 walls of Jicheng, casting a layer of golden light on Jicheng.
At this moment, a group of cavalry rushed from the horizon with the sun on their backs, and those cavalry came from far and near, but the sunlight behind them was so dazzling that the group of cavalry was somewhat backlit. I can't see their faces and dresses 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, the black and bright armor, is the reinforcement!
Cheng Yu was a little overjoyed when he saw this cavalry coming quickly, and he also knew the first person, who was Cao Cao's personal guard Dian Wei.
There were only about a thousand cavalry led by Dian Wei, and the horses under the seat were all black. The horses are strong and vigorous, and their hooves are soaring. It came from the west in a mighty way, and it moved very fast.
These thousand cavalrymen, all of whom are strong, burly, and have great strength, this is the cavalry that Cao Cao has just formed - the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
Not long after the formation of the tiger and leopard cavalry, its soldiers are all one of the hundreds, it can be said that this cavalry is the elite of Cao Cao's army.
This cavalry did not play any flags, quickly killed from the west, Dian Wei clamped the horse's belly with his legs, held two large iron halberds in both hands, took the lead, took the lead, and rushed directly into the camp of the Wuhuan people, and the halberds fell, and the two Wuhuan people were stabbed off the horse by Dian Wei.
And the 1,000 tiger and leopard riders behind Dian Wei are really like the name of their army, all of them are as fierce as tigers and leopards, once they rush into the camp of the Wuhuan people, they are like hungry tigers entering the flock, constantly waving the blades in their hands, constantly killing the Wuhuan people under the horses, and letting the flesh and blood trampled by iron hooves blur.
The sudden attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry caused the Wuhuan people to be confused, and with the cooperation of Yan Rou and other archers, the casualties of the Wuhuan people began to rise sharply.
The Wuhuan people rode their war horses, wanting to distance themselves and greet the tiger and leopard riders with bows and arrows, but the tiger and leopard riders suddenly scattered in all directions, and came to a whole into parts, taking individuals as a unit, and rampage in the camp of the Wuhuan people, causing a big mess among the Wuhuan people.
On the tower of Jicheng, Cheng Yu watched the tiger and leopard riders led by Dian Wei kill the Wuhuan people, and his mood also turned from cloudy to sunny, and his face was even more happy.
"Cheng Beijia, look, our reinforcements are coming!" Tian Yu suddenly pointed to the horizon to the west, a group of black people were heading here, a black background and white characters "Cao" character flag fluttering in the wind, and Cao Cao, who was in golden armor, exuded a dazzling light.
"All the troops are attacking!" Cheng Yu thought that the time had come, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack, preparing to join forces with the reinforcements, attacking back and forth, and completely defeating the Wuhuan people.
With Cheng Yu's order, Tian Yu and Tian Chou were both excited, and they walked down the city tower one after another, gathered their soldiers and horses, and rushed out with the army.
Tian Yu took the lead, led the cavalry, and rushed to the camp of the Wuhuan people along the drawbridge that had just been lowered, and attacked the tigers and leopard riders back and forth, killing the Wuhuan people.
Lou Ban, who had been watching the battle, saw the stabbing situation, and was stunned there, not knowing what to do, the palm-sized place in front of him was crowded with people, crowds of people, blood splashed, the enemy army was everywhere, as if it could not be killed, and the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry was at a disadvantage, and it had become a trend of decline.
"How can this be?" Lou Ban had never commanded a battle, and he was at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.
The danger is approaching Lou Ban little by little, Dian Wei's face is pale, his sharp eyes are staring directly at Lou Ban, holding the double iron halberd in his hand, galloping wildly, and stabbing towards Lou Ban.
Poor Lou Ban didn't realize the danger until Dian Wei was twenty steps away from him, and he wanted to escape, but at the critical moment, the war horse under the seat was unwilling to turn around, and stood there like a chicken.
In just a moment, a pair of large iron halberds struck towards Lou Ban with a thousand momentum.
"Ahh
Lou Ban was caught off guard, and was stabbed to death by Dian Wei with a double iron halberd, and then raised it high above his head, carrying Lou Ban's body, and shouted at those Wuhuan people: "Your leader has been killed by me, if anyone still wants to die, come to me!" (To be continued......)
