Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Five rows of sharp wooden stakes were inserted at the pass. With the sound of bangs and horses neighing, the first wave of Xianbei cavalry rushing over flew off their horses. Those who were lucky were thrown into the gaps between the stakes, while most of them were directly pierced through the bodies by the stakes behind them. The sound of sharp objects piercing the flesh came one after another, making people's teeth numb.

These wooden stakes were erected in a hurry, and many of them were not inserted tightly. They were basically destroyed after the cavalry's rumbling collision. More and more Xianbei cavalry rushed in from behind, but because of the obstruction of the wooden stakes, the cavalry's momentum had slowed down.

"kill!"

Xu Chu roared and rushed forward on his horse. Wearing heavy armor, he was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, and the big sword in his hand was dancing with a whirring sound. In the group of cavalrymen who were unable to move away, it was difficult for him to match him!

The pass was narrow, and it was difficult for the Hu people to rush in in large numbers at once. In order to prevent the Xianbei troops from dispersing and charging, after Xu Chu and others broke into the enemy group, the Golden Eagle Guards' long spear cavalry at the back followed and surrounded the enemy within a few miles of the pass. Zhang Hai and Jiang Huai each led a hundred cavalrymen, rushed to the pass from under the city wall, and intercepted the Hu people who wanted to come in from behind.

The Golden Eagle Guards roamed the grasslands for more than half a year, robbing and killing the Huns and attacking the Xianbei. Their combat effectiveness had improved a lot compared to before. Their extremely sharp sabers chopped down the Huns' cavalry, and no matter whether they were wearing iron armor or leather armor, one blow would tear both the man and the horse in half.

A Hu man thrust his spear hard at a Golden Eagle Guard, but with a ding sound, the spear tip pierced the opponent's fish scale armor, and the tip slipped, and the force was instantly removed. Before he could retract the spear, a cold wind with a smell of blood blew over, and he didn't feel any pain, but saw the other half of his body rolling out, with his internal organs spilling all over the ground.

Behind him, another Hu man was already stunned by this brutal killing method. This was not a magical weapon at all. It was clearly more terrifying than the guillotine used by adults to chop cattle bones.

When chopping cattle bones, it often takes two or three people working together to chop them apart, but the opponent only needs a light chop to split the person and armor in half.

The cavalry led by Xu Chu and Zhang Fan advanced like a wall, one sword at a time, and they waded into the enemy group like chopping melons. The spearmen roamed outside hunting, and the longbowmen on the city wall were not idle either. The Hu people who tried to rush in from outside the pass were shot down from their horses one by one by one.

The pass was narrow, and the denser the Hu people outside gathered, the higher the probability of the longbowmen hitting them. After a series of screams, the Xianbei knights in the rear team could not help but slow down.

Jiang Huai and Zhang Hai and their two hundred men successfully blocked the pass and cut off the Hu army. The thousand or so Hu people who rushed in first were completely surrounded, and more than half of them were killed in a short while.

Muyetti was completely dumbfounded. Those cavalrymen with big swords were like demons crawling out of hell. The knights and armor that he was proud of were like... cheese in the hands of the other side.

In addition to their powerful weapons, the teamwork and coordination among these horse thieves was far better than that of his warriors, and even comparable to that of the Bingzhou border troops.

He looked at the building, punched him hard on the head, and yelled, "You're trying to trick me into dying!"

Muyeti immediately ordered a retreat, and he himself was about to flee on horseback. Covering his purple left eye, Gailoufang pulled his reins and shouted, "Commander Mu, the lord's men may be here soon. Don't you want to avenge your warrior?"

"Avenge your uncle!" Muyetti turned around and yelled, wanting to punch him in the right eye again.

Such a brutal horse thief, even if he sacrificed the lives of all the warriors in the tribe, he could not get revenge. The dead are dead, and the living cannot make unnecessary sacrifices.

Gai Loufang said, "The bandits' true strengths are only their divine bows and their horse-slaying cavalry. They were able to easily triumph just now by taking advantage of the favorable terrain at the pass. We still have two thousand cavalry, so they won't dare to charge out. You stay here to hold them back for me, my lord, while I take care of them."

Muyetti's frightened heart calmed down a little. The idea of ​​building a building made sense. If they dispersed and attacked on a large scale, the horse thieves would definitely not be their match. He still had two thousand warriors. If the horse thieves dared to leave the pass, they would be courting death. It would be better to stay for two more days. When the time comes, let the adults' men rush in first and take the blame, and he would follow behind and possibly take advantage.

So many brave warriors died at the hands of the bandits. If he returned without getting anything, it would be difficult to explain.

After figuring it out, Muyetti ordered his men to set up camp five miles away from the pass and keep an eye on Zhang Mo's team.

……

"These barbaric dogs didn't even run away? They're so bold! Are they planning to come in and die?"

On the top of the city wall, Xu Chu looked at the Xianbei people who were cutting wood and building a camp from afar, and was quite surprised.

"They should be waiting for reinforcements!" said Zhang Mo.

Inside and outside the Great Wall, the ground was littered with broken corpses. The warm blood of the enemies melted the ice and snow on the land of the pass. The blood mixed with the snow water and accumulated into small puddles of bright red water on the ground, becoming the most gorgeous color in the ice and snow.

This was the first time she had witnessed the power of a saber in actual combat. Although one strike could not shatter both the man and the horse, it could definitely split a man in half. With a sharp saber and plate armor, if a saber-slashing team of two to three thousand men could be formed, and several thousand longbowmen could be added to it, the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan would all be nothing but clouds. No matter how many came, they would be killed. Who would dare to invade the border of the Han Dynasty?

Xu Chu laughed heartily, "What good is it if reinforcements arrive? They'll just be sending heads flying. I've had such a blast killing people these past six months!"

"How can it be useless..."

Zhang Mo pondered, "Today's Hu general is cowardly and timid. He values ​​his men. Seeing the ferocity of the saber, he's afraid to send more men in. If he doesn't care about casualties, we might not be able to hold out. By the end of the battle, many longbowmen were unable to draw their bows. If we charge in with an enemy force three times our size, even if we win, we'll still suffer heavy casualties."

Hearing her say this, Xu Chu's expression straightened slightly. "His reinforcements won't arrive so soon, will they? We can just delay them for two or three days, wait for Zhang Feng and the others to get away, and then we can escape. I don't believe he'd dare chase them all the way to Taiyuan County. Isn't Envoy Zhang organizing the army and the people to resist the Hu people? He certainly won't stand idly by. And Zhang Yan's reinforcements will be arriving soon, right?"

Xu Chu said it easily, but Zhang Mo did not dare to be careless. It was still unknown whether Zhang Yan would send reinforcements. Before the battle today, she also sent someone with an official and business certificate issued by the Jinyang prefect to the nearest Pingcheng for help, but the other party only sent a village of people, who stood in the distance and watched, with no intention of helping at all.

Reinforcements can only be a thought, not a reliance!

Inside and outside the pass, soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield. Weapons, arrows, armor and live horses were all collected. Some of the relatively intact clothes and shoes on the Hu people were also stripped away. The carcasses of the horses were gathered together and frozen in the snow, and the bodies of the Hu people were piled up casually aside.

Du Fei sent people to transport the confiscated spoils, more than thirty wounded soldiers, and several bodies of his own men to catch up with the advance team, and to bring back some food and supplies.

Looking at the busy crowd, Zhang Mo suddenly said, "Ah Chu, have people pile up the bodies of those soldiers and horses at the pass and build them into a wall of flesh."

"Build, build a wall of flesh?" Xu Chu was slightly stunned.

"Yes, and make sure the person's face is facing outwards."

Xu Chu's mind flashed with the scene of the Hu people rushing over and seeing the wall of flesh. At first he was in disbelief, then he was extremely angry. He wanted to push it down and kill them to take revenge, but he didn't know where to start because the entire wall was covered with the faces of his compatriots.

"This will arouse the hatred of the Hu people. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Zhang Mo said calmly, "Ever since we entered their territory and looted their supplies, this hatred has already been formed. A little more will not make any difference. Besides, anger can make people lose their rationality, which is actually beneficial to us."

The Hu people frequently went south to plunder, and this hatred had existed for hundreds of years.

After a pause, Zhang Mo continued, "Also, mobilize everyone to fetch ice and water from the river, build an ice path behind the wall, and insert several layers of wooden stakes in front of the ice path. Then cut wood to build ladders and carry some stones up the wall."

"Ice Road?!"

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and laughed, "The ice track is great! Ice skating is the most fun!"
