Chapter 1** Out of the Plug

Due to the fact that the north had just been decided, there were a series of complicated things that Cao 'Cao' needed to deal with personally, so Cao 'Cao' did not personally lead the troops on this expedition.

Xiahou Yuan was appointed as the commander-in-chief, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Zhang He were deputies, plus a group of partial generals, etc., Cao's army totaled 100,000 people, and went out of the Great Wall to cut down Xianbei.

After the unification of the north, Cao 'Cao' began to further develop the cavalry, and built an 'elite' army from it, which was named the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The selection of the tiger and leopard cavalry is extremely strict, and in terms of the scale and standard of selecting soldiers, it can definitely fight with Gao Shun's trap camp and Zhang He's halberd. History calls the tiger and leopard riding "all the world's sharp, or from a hundred people will make up for it", although this sentence may be exaggerated, but in any case, this also reflects from the side that the combat power of the tiger and leopard riding is absolutely first-class.

Due to the relatively short development time, the scale of the Haw Par Ride is now only 800 people. But these 800 people are all warriors who are worth ten. Cao 'Cao' believes that even in the face of alien cavalry who are claimed to be born on horseback and are born to ride horses, as long as the number of both sides is the same, then the result will inevitably be the victory of this tiger and leopard cavalry!

In this expedition, all the 800 tigers and leopards rode with the army and came under the command of Xiahou Yuan. In addition, the number of Gao Shun's trapped camp had also recovered to 1,200 at this time, and Zhang He's halberd warriors had also made up the number of 3,000 people.

These three troops, totaling 5,000 men, were the most powerful soldiers in Cao's battalion.

Cao 'Cao' even said in 'private': "These three 'elite' troops are gathered in one place, even if the enemy's strength is ten times that of them, it will inevitably take a lot of trouble to win." ”

In March 198, the third year of Jian'an, 100,000 troops left the Great Wall and marched to Wuyuan County.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to go on an expedition outside the Saiwai, completely expelled the Xiongnu from the Hetao area, and set up Shuofang County and Wuyuan County in their places, which were included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

However, by the end of the Han Dynasty, the country was weakened, and no one cared about these marginal areas anymore, let alone setting up county guards and the like. Shuofang, Wuyuan and other places have been abandoned for a long time, and sometimes they are often occupied by foreign races. The inhabitants of these areas have either chosen to move south or simply to the north for a different race.

The Xianbei army wants to raid the border, and these abandoned cities are undoubtedly the best outposts for them.

We must be the first to enter Wuyuan County before those alien races, and take the lead in this war.

The county seat of Jiuyuan is the seat of Wuyuan County, and it is also the hometown of the flying general Lu Bu.

When Xiahou Yuan led a large army to the outside of the Jiuyuan City, he found that the city 'gate' was closed, and the Xianbei soldiers were already guarding the city.

It's still a step too late, but this can't be blamed on them, the Xianbei territory is not far from Jiuyuan City, and it is really simple for them to occupy this Jiuyuan County before the Han army.

"Siege!" Xiahou Yuan saw that the city was occupied by the Xianbei army, and he did not hesitate to order.

Although Jiuyuan City has fallen into the hands of foreign races, there is nothing to worry about, and it is enough to take it back by force.

These alien races have really good skills in field warfare on the plains, but their ability to attack and defend cities is not very good.

As soon as Xiahou Yuan's military order came out, he saw the whole army marching forward in an orderly manner and attacking the city in batches.

The Xianbei soldiers in the city were very panicked when they saw the sudden appearance of an army attacking the city.

Obviously, the arrival of the Han army was absolutely unexpected.

According to the information they learned, the northern part of the Han Dynasty had just experienced a major war, and it was at a time when it was uneasy and weak. Moreover, it is said that the two great princes of the northern Han Dynasty fought very fiercely, and now after the battle, even the winning side has a very small number of troops, and it is impossible to have spare strength to deal with the Xianbei offensive.

Therefore, after this Xianbei army entered Jiuyuan City, it seemed very relaxed, and there was no vigilance at all.

They didn't expect that the army of the Han Dynasty would suddenly appear in front of them, and the other party would still be such a large army.

This army is only a pioneer, with a total of no more than 10,000 people, and looking at the enemy's posture, there are 80,000 if not 100,000.

The Xianbei people panicked all of a sudden, defending the city? They had never had a similar experience. Even now in the face of the enemy army under the city, they don't even know what to do. Not to mention that the number of Xianbei soldiers in the city was far less than the number of Cao soldiers outside the city, which made these Xianbei people even more overwhelmed and frightened.

"Calm down! Calm me down, and recruit a group of 'eagle shooters' to go up to the city and release arrows! It was a thousand-person general who shouted, and it could be seen that compared with ordinary Xianbei soldiers, this thousand-person general was very knowledgeable, at least he knew how to use a bow and arrow to defend against the enemy.

'Shooting' the eagle, as the name suggests, is the person who can 'shoot' the eagle eagle in the air, which was originally the Xiongnu's reputation for the god 'shooting' hand in the tribe. Xianbei and Xiongnu are both horseback people, and there are naturally many people who are good at 'shooting' in the tribe, so they continue to use this title.

The 'shooting' eagles were transferred to the head of the city one after another, and successively 'shot' arrows at the Han army under the city.

However, the only way for Xianbei to defend the city is to 'shoot' arrows, and I haven't thought of any methods such as wood, rolling stones, and scalding oil. However, even if they knew that there were other ways to defend the city, as a county town that had been idle for a long time, there were no such things to defend the city.

Without wood, rolling stones, hot oil, etc., the effect of 'shooting' arrows alone will not be much better. After all, even if you are an archer like Huang Zhong, there is no guarantee that every arrow can 'shoot' people in this kind of 'chaotic' battle, let alone 'shoot' people with every arrow.

Besides, it is already rare to have a 'eagle' shooter, and among the 10,000 soldiers, it is not easy to make up six or seven hundred 'eagle shooters'. When a rain of arrows falls, dozens of people are usually killed. If a round of arrow rain can 'shoot' to kill hundreds of people, it is already considered the great luck of the Xianbei army.

The Cao army's siege progressed very smoothly, and although it was inevitable that the troops at the front would suffer losses, the losses were completely within the range that the Cao army could bear.

Someone has already climbed to the top of the city and slashed the eagle shooters on the city.

Generally speaking, when the besieging troops reach the top of the city, the morale of the defending side will be more or less low. However, for these Xianbei people, who are not good at defending the city, they are more inclined to this kind of almost cruel close 'hand-to-hand' combat, and the hand-to-hand combat above the city can 'provoke' their blood 'sex'.

Therefore, the process of Cao's army attacking the city was quite smooth, but after reaching the city head, the situation gradually fell into a stalemate.

Before the Cao army attacked the city, these Xianbei soldiers were indeed panicked for a while. However, when Cao's army actually launched an offensive, they forgot all their fears, and their eyes were full of bloodthirst.

That's the horror of the steppe aliens.

The Xianbei people are extremely brave, although the scimitar in their hands is not as long as the spear, but it is sharp, coupled with their fierce momentum of not afraid of death, the soldiers of the Cao army who climbed to the head of the city for a while have a little meaning that they are about to be driven down the city by the other party.

"Miaocai, let me fall into the camp." Gao Shun saw that the situation at the head of the city was unfavorable, so he asked Xiahou Yuan to fight.

"Hmm." Xiahou Yuan nodded and agreed to Gao Shun's request to fight. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "The Invincible of the Three Kingdoms" written by the thunder
