Chapter 263: Raid on Wei County

Maybe Yuan Tan didn't know, maybe Yuan Tan already knew, but didn't care.

Although Shuofang, Yunzhong, Xihe, Dingxiang and Wuyuan to the north of the ancient Great Wall were originally places where the Huns gathered and were actually controlled by the Huns, it was a different situation to really hand over the power of these places to the Huns.

During the period of nominal control of the Han people, the Xiongnu were more or less jealous of the Han officials at the top, and there was also this sense of awe for the Han court. But when Yuan Tan completely ceded control of these places to them, everything completely changed.

A.D. 199, the fourth year of Jian'an, autumn.

The Han people in the northern part of Bingzhou once again experienced a sudden disaster.

Yunzhong County, south of Jiling City, the remnant sun is like blood.

On the north bank of the White River, the crow shook its fat body and crowed contentedly in the branches, and the greedy vulture seemed to never have enough to eat, holding its bulging belly among the corpses everywhere, constantly shaking its long beak.

How do you describe the scene in front of you? Picasso's oil painting Guernica is also difficult to describe the misery and brutality of this tragedy, not even one percent of this tragic scene; "The Massacre of Chio Island" may barely reproduce the sorrow of hell on earth, but that massacre is nowhere near the blood, horror and despair of this wilderness.

There were corpses everywhere, like strangely shaped carpets, that obscured the banks of the river and the earth, and the ground beneath them had turned brown, blood soaked in the dirt.

On the wilderness where blood flowed everywhere, desperate arms pointed directly at the sky, as if they were questioning the sky, but the sky was speechless.

The sky was silent, except for countless crows and vultures, feasting on the bones of the corpse, pecking at the remaining muscles of the corpse and turning it into dry bones.

The water of the White River is surging, running day and night, and the river flowing down the river is also full of floating corpses.

Such a tragic scene is being played out everywhere in the north of the state.

Since the withdrawal of Han officials and county soldiers in the northern part of the state, the Xiongnu have attacked the Han people everywhere, robbed them of their property, and took them into slavery, with women as tools for them to vent, and men as horse herding, horse manure and milking horses.

There are always some Han people who do not want to be slaves, and they can't escape in groups, hoping to escape back to the south and flee to the land controlled by the Han people, and the result is that they are pursued and killed by the Huns, and the rebels are killed, and the rest are captured and returned.

While the Han people in the north of Bingzhou were struggling in despair, blood, and ravage, Yuan Tan, the lord of Bingzhou, was preparing to raid Jizhou.

……

South of Jinyang City.

On the high point of the general's platform, Yuan Tan was wearing a big hat, white robe and silver armor,

Surrounded by generals such as Jiang Qi, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Zhao Zhao, and Wang Xuan, he stood tall with his sword and was full of spirit.

In front of him, the whole world seemed to be covered by his cavalry, and looking at the past, from the front of him to miles away, and then to the end of the field of vision, there were all moving horse heads and black and endless human heads, and not even a piece of loess could be seen.

A full 40,000 cavalry!

Two or three years ago, his 40,000 cavalry elite was blocked by a mere 5,000 white horse Yicong, and the two sides were exhausted, and then Tian Yu picked up a bargain.

Although he was also 40,000 cavalry, this time, he was destined to sweep through the Central Plains and crush the enemy army.

His gaze fell on the feet and crotch of the cavalry in front of him. These cavalrymen were no longer like ordinary cavalrymen, relying on their legs to support their balance on the horse's belly, and they needed to hold their weapons in one hand and the horse's back in the other. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen, all equipped with two-end high-bridge saddles, so that the cavalry's bodies can be fixed, and what makes them rock on horseback are the two rope loops under their feet.

The stirrup, the greatest invention and the simplest invention, was finally copied by Yuan Tan!

In the bloody battle a few years ago, he still couldn't understand why those white horse Yicong could fight left and right on horseback with weapons in both hands, and even stand up from horseback to pounce, but after the unremitting research of Xin Ping, Xin Bi and others, he finally developed this pair of rope loops that can make the cavalry step on horseback and stabilize the body, although it is worse than the stirrup, but it is enough to make the strength of this Bingzhou cavalry on horseback greatly increased.

Yuan Tan finally understood the reason why he was defeated in the past, although it was a pity to lose back then, but it was still not too late at this moment. Through the transaction with the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan, he got 30,000 war horses, plus the original war horses, so that the number of his cavalry reached 40,000 again, 40,000 invincible cavalry, horses on the Central Plains, who can be the enemy? Even Gongsun Bai can't, because Gongsun Bai is only a mere more than 20,000 cavalry.

As for the Huns, although he got a lot of cheapness, once he broke Gongsun Bai in a surprise attack, sooner or later he would have to clean up this group of Hun wolves.

Yuan Tan took a deep breath, suddenly raised his right hand high, and waved it vigorously.

Woo woo woo~

Suddenly, the high sound of bull horns sounded in the cavalry formation, which continued and rose to the sky.

Tens of thousands of cavalry instantly lined up the cavalry formation, and then raised the guns and halberds in their hands in unison, and in an instant, they intertwined into a black forest in the air, murderous and extremely majestic.

After tens of thousands of elite horsemen lined up, they gradually fell silent, looking at Yuan Tan quietly.

Yuan Tan looked at the cavalry under the stage, breathed a sigh of relief again, and asked in a loud voice: "Have you stayed enough in the bitter cold land of Bingzhou?" Do you want to go to the Central Plains with Ben General? ”

The audience was stunned for a moment, and then the sound of a mountain and a sea of voices shook the sky.

"Kill to the Central Plains!"

"Kill to the Central Plains!"

"Kill to the Central Plains!"

Many of these soldiers and horses came from Jizhou with Yuan Tan back then, and now they have left their hometown for three or four years, and they miss their hometown.

Yuan Tan suddenly felt a sky-high pride in his heart, laughed, and pointed south: "Go, follow the general out of the pot pass, take Jizhou, and ensure that you can't sleep beautifully, and you can't drink endless sweet wine!" ”

Under the stage, the cheers were thunderous again.

"Get out of the pot, take Jizhou, sleep with a lady, and drink wine!"

"Get out of the pot, take Jizhou, sleep with a lady, and drink wine!"

"Get out of the pot, take Jizhou, sleep with a lady, and drink wine!"

Rencheng, a small Guancheng on the eastern border of Sheguo County, Wei County, a small Guancheng that is difficult to find on the map, the defenders are no more than 100 people, guarding the west gate of Jizhou, and it is a necessary place to attack Wei County from the south of Bingzhou.

The soldiers on the pass are sparse, this pass is just an outpost of the city, and the guards are only some old, weak, sick and disabled. At this moment, Gongsun Bai's strength is in full swing, proud of the others, if it weren't for the sake of recuperation, he would have already captured Bingzhou, who would have thought that Yuan Tan would dare to go out of the pot to go straight to Wei County, intending to raid Gongsun Bai's old nest - Yecheng.

The sunset was like blood, coldly sprinkled on the Guan Lou, and the whole Guan Lou was bathed in red light.

The sparse soldiers on the upper floor of the gate held their halberds and leaned on the battlements, most of them were closing their eyes to recuperate, some were chatting, and they seemed very casual.

Boom, boom.

A burst of thunder rolled faintly from the sky, getting closer and closer.

One of the defenders looked listlessly at the sky and muttered, "Is it going to rain?" ”

Another Jizhou army defender was about to reply, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could there be a thunderstorm in this late autumn Jizhou land, turned around and looked to the west in confusion.

"What's that?" The defender suddenly screamed in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

The defenders on the upper floor raised their heads and looked to the east when they heard the sound, and their faces changed in an instant.

As time goes by, this black line is rapidly thickening and lengthening, gradually emerging into a dark cloud, and then the black cloud is getting bigger and bigger, and the entire sky is obscured by the black cloud, and the bright red sunset suddenly loses its eyesight.

"It's a native of Bingzhou! Enemy attack, enemy attack ......" someone shouted in horror.

On the entire reckless plain in the northwest, there are black and oppressive Bingzhou cavalry, and as far as the eye can see, from a few miles away to the end of the field of vision, there are Bingzhou cavalry as far as the eye can see, boundless, like a surging wave, there are 50,000 or 60,000 people.

Fifty or sixty thousand black cavalry galloped on the plain, the whole ground trembled, as if unable to bear the heavy pressure, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder rolling in the sky, and the loud rumbling noise seemed to shake even the clouds away, and the sky was overshadowed.

Yuan Tan, who claimed to be the general of the chariot cavalry, was at the forefront of the Bingzhou Assassin History, followed by Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Jiang Qi and other generals, and rushed to the west.

Finally the high city wall came into his eyes, Yuan Tan took out the long sword in his waist, and was so excited that he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Break through this level, you can enter Jizhou, smash Yecheng, kill!" ”

Kill~

The tens of thousands of Bingzhou cavalry behind him followed in unison and let out a roar of cheer. www.uuanshu.com

"The cavalry of the state is coming, meet the enemy quickly!" A team leader above the castle tower shouted loudly.

"Meet the enemy, how to meet the enemy, just our people are not enough to plug the teeth of the state cavalry." The other team leader sneered.

"Quickly ignite the wolf smoke and send the message to the beacon fire!" Someone shouted again.

The marquis who was in charge of guarding the city woke up like a dream, and urgently ordered the sergeant to light the wolf smoke, and the wolf smoke rose to the sky and drifted to the east with the wind.

"There are only more than 100 people on the tower of our city, how can we hold tens of thousands of Bingzhou cavalry, let's go and flee for our lives!" Someone shouted.

As soon as the words fell, the defenders on the city tower seemed to wake up from a dream, and I don't know who led them, hundreds of Jizhou defenders ran towards the bottom of the tower, and the scene was very chaotic.

These Jizhou defenders were just the soldiers and horses who surrendered to Cheng under Yuan Shao back then, not Gongsun Bai's Youzhou military lineage, where did they have the belief of forgetting to die to defend the pass, and the entire Guanlou escaped in an instant, and there was no half of a figure in sight.

Under the gate, the endless Bingzhou cavalry swarmed all over the sky, and for a while, there was no other color to be seen on the Great Plains, and nothing else could be seen, except for the Bingzhou cavalry or the Bingzhou cavalry, in addition to gray or gray, the whole world was only left with the gray and the Bingzhou cavalry.

Xi Yu Yu~

Yuan Tan took the lead, galloped to the city, reined in the horse's feet, and the tens of thousands behind him slowly stopped, Yuan Tan looked up at the top of the gate, and then looked up and laughed: "Gongsun Bai's soldiers and horses are nothing more than that, come on, quickly climb the gate, open the gate!" ”

ps: On the map of Jizhou during the Three Kingdoms, I saw a small Guancheng in the south of Sheguo City, but the word was not clear, Baidu checked it for half an hour to no avail, it looks like a "Ren", just think it is Rencheng, don't cut me the emperor of history.
