Chapter 30: Change
Before Liu Yu arrived at Du's Dock Fort, he saw that Du's Dock Fort was actually on fire.
Du Lan couldn't believe his eyes, knowing that Du Shiwu Fort was very strong.
The four walls, the front and rear gatehouses, the left and right wings, the four corners all have corner towers, equipped with rolling stones, countless woods, and countless fire oil bows and arrows.
Although it occupies a small area and can only accommodate thousands of people, the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs.
There will be a large amount of grain and grass supplies hidden in the dock fort, as long as there is no professional siege equipment, it is generally difficult to be captured by the enemy from the outside.
The level of siege in the Three Kingdoms era is obvious to all.
In the era before gunpowder was invented, fortified cities were simply a nightmare for besiegers.
Even if it is a great god like Zhuge Liang, tens of thousands of troops are not able to be taken by Hao Zhao with Chen Cangjian City, a city of 3,000 soldiers.
Not to mention the level of siege of other people.
When Liu Yu came to the vicinity, he saw that the people besieging Dushiwu Fort turned out to be Qiang, and even some Han people.
This scene was unexpected by Liu Yu, but it makes sense to think about it.
After all, in Yongzhou, Qiang and Han people live together, and some Qiang people are no different from Han people, and whether they are Han people or Qiang people, they will be taken captive by Haoqiang and squeezed by themselves as slaves.
When the Qiang broke out, the Han people were naturally not spared, and with these Qiang, they might be able to snatch some food.
And follow the court and Haoqiang, what do you get in the end?
Continue to be oppressed by the imperial court, forcibly taken to his own manor by Haoqiang, and used as cattle and horses for these scholars?
Five chaotic China, which is already mixed with a large number of Han people who can't survive.
If there are no Han people to join, can these Qianghu set off such a big bloody storm?
Liu Yu felt that the chaos was not so much a rebellion as a class struggle.
In this era, as long as you are not from a scholar family, you will never have a bright future.
The common people are also treated as pigs and dogs by the scholars, who have no human rights at all, have no food to eat, and cannot live.
Taking advantage of the dark night, Liu Yu hid his figure not far from Dujiawu Fort, quietly watching the killing in front of him.
This group of Qianghu who are in turmoil is at least three thousand.
Although the Du family tribe is also considered elite, the gap in numbers is too large, and for some reason, it seems that some of Qianghu have been mixed into Dujiawu Fort.
Under the combination of inside and outside, the gate of Wubao has been opened, and even if the Du family resists desperately, they are still defeated.
Although the Qianghu battle is not long-lasting, you have to admire the ability of this group of people to fight against the wind.
The Qiang people have a strong style, a militia as one, are extremely good at mountain warfare, have a firm and brave character, and have strong explosiveness.
The Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo is dominated by Qiang people.
Back then, Dong Zhuo used 200,000 Western Liang troops, and the Kwantung princes who suppressed him were out of breath, and he could see the sharpness of the Western Liang Army.
And now the gate of Dujiawu Fort has been captured, which has further stimulated the bloody nature of the Qiang people's killing, and the battle is more ferocious.
On the contrary, the morale of the Du family has declined, and under the advantages of one another, the Du family has already shown signs of collapse.
According to Liu Yu's estimate, at most, after another stick of incense, Du Jian will fall completely.
Fire, killing, screams of women and children, wild laughter of the Qiang, and cries of dying.
Du Lan's eyes were torn, he only felt grief-stricken, seeing that his relatives were about to be killed, Du Lan pleaded with Liu Yu in pain:
"Please send troops quickly to rescue my Du family!"
Liu Yu's eyes looked at Dujiawu Fort calmly.
Save? Why should he save?
The purpose of his coming here is to monitor Dujiawu Fort, and now that the Du family is about to be destroyed, isn't it just what he wants.
Qianghu is of course a foreign race, but Haoqiang is not a good thing.
He will not forget the scene of Du Lan's captivity of the people.
"Heh, the people of your Du family are people, aren't the other people people?"
"Your Du family has taken the people into slavery, and the other Qiang, this is self-inflicted trouble, why should I save them?"
Liu Yu's words pierced Du Lan's heart like a knife, causing Du Lan to cry bitterly and cry:
"General, it's all my fault, but it has nothing to do with my Du family!"
"My uncle Du Shu tried to persuade me not to commit murder."
"My cousin Du Pre will often distribute food to the people, and in the year of the disaster, he will open a warehouse to help the victims, they don't deserve to die, they don't deserve to die here..."
"Who were you talking about?"
Liu Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp, like knives, and his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"My uncle, Du... Du Shu. ”
"No, another."
Liu Yu's tone was very eager.
"My cousin... Du pre. ”
Du pre? Du Pre!!
The only one in the entire Three Kingdoms who was selected for the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts, Du Pre, Du Yuankai?
Yes, Du Yu should still be a teenager now, living with his father Du Shu.
"Get on the !!"
Thinking of this, Liu Yu no longer hesitated, and roared directly, and was about to take his men to save Du Yu.
With such a great talent, how could he stay in the enemy country of Wei?
Liu Yu is bound to bring Du Pre-give back to Shu Han, at least in the future, he can give himself advice.
Although it is very likely that he will not live for half a month, before he dies, he will hand over Du Pre to Prime Minister Zhuge , and he will be able to renew his life for Shu Han for at least another thirty years.
This may be the only thing he can do as a big man, which Chinese man doesn't have a big man dream?
If Du Yu can really recreate the Han Dynasty, then even if he dies, he can be regarded as a smiling Jiuquan.
Du Ran looked at Liu Yu with some incredulity, not understanding why Liu Yu had changed so much before and after.
Is it because of his mediocre cousin? But his cousin just...
No matter what, Du Ran is still very grateful to Liu Yu for being able to send troops to save the Du family, after all, Liu Yu is the only one who can save the Du family now.
There were less than 200 cavalry under Liu Yu, but the situation was critical, and Liu Yu could not wait any longer.
After getting on his horse, he ordered his deputy, the commander, to lead 800 infantry to march forward in formation.
And Liu Yu personally led two hundred cavalry, rushed to the front, and shouted:
"Kill so-and-so!!"
Liu Yu moved forward, and behind him were two hundred elite Shu cavalry, advancing in turn.
The infantry was under the command of the commander, beating gongs and drums, shouting loudly, and the situation could not be seen clearly in the night, but it seemed that there were countless soldiers and horses to kill Dujiawu Fort.
The Du family, who had been beaten by Qiang and retreated, heard this movement and immediately realized that it was reinforcements coming, and their morale was boosted.
A middle-aged man in the array, wearing a long robe, but with an extraordinary bearing, saw this scene and hurriedly shouted:
"Reinforcements are coming, hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!!"
But Qiang Di was a little panicked, originally all Qiang Di were scrambling to kill in the dock fort, after all, everyone wanted to rush into the waves to plunder.
But after hearing the movement made by Liu Yu, in the rear, Qiang Di thought that the imperial army had been killed, and some people still fled with their heads in their hands.
A distance of several hundred steps, fleeting, Liu Yu rode a fast horse, holding a ring-headed knife in his hand, and the momentum was like thunder, straight into the rear team of the Qiang tribe.
Two hundred cavalrymen also followed Liu Yu, and rushed into Qiang's queue fiercely.
Under the ring head knife, the heads of people were rolling, and Qiang Di was a little panicked when he was killed all of a sudden, and the formation began to disperse.
The cavalry behind them was also slashing at the enemy.
"Death to those who retreat!"
Seeing that the Qiang rear formation was about to collapse, there was a sturdy and fierce man who struggled to slash and kill the retreating Qiang.
This man was followed by three hundred tribesmen, all with large shoulders and round waists, wearing simple leather armor, forming a formation for defense.
Liu Yu looked at the two hundred cavalry behind him, all of them were murderous, covered in blood, and their morale was high.
The two armies met under the narrow walls of the Dock Fort, and it was too late to turn around.
When the brave wins on the narrow road, Liu Yu turned his heart sideways, then waved the big knife and roared:
"Kill the Enemy Chieftain!!
After that, he went straight into the infantry formation of the Qiang people.
Seeing that Liu Yu was so brave, the cavalry behind him was naturally not to be outdone, and they all rushed into the Qiang army without hesitation.
Two hundred cavalry against three hundred infantry.
The strength is slightly inferior, but the cavalry that rushes up is not necessarily something that the infantry can stop.
When Liu Yu rushed to the front of the infantry formation, he suddenly reined in the war horse, and the war horse suddenly stood up, the horse's hooves were raised high, and he smashed towards the Qiang people below, and the ring head knife in his hand was also swung downward.
The originally orderly military formation was instantly chiseled out of a gap by Liu Yu.
The continuous impact of the cavalry around him crumbled the three-hundred-strong military formation.
Liu Yu entered the encirclement, rushed left and right, guarded by cavalry around him, and slashed more than a dozen Qiang foot soldiers in the blink of an eye.
The leather armor on these Qiang people, under the sharp blade, did not play any role.
Just as Liu Yu was wantonly harvesting the lives of the Qiang people, suddenly the strong man from before stopped in front of Liu Yu, and the big knife in his hand slashed at Liu Yu.
Fortunately, Liu Yu was quick and set up a long knife, so he was not killed on the spot.
Master!
