I learned skills in a different world

Chapter 59 Learning to make tools on the ancient border (5)

The vast expanse to the north of Yuchengguan has roughly the same scenery. It is easy to get lost in it, but as a native of the grassland, the Humang people know this land well.

There are three large tribes in Hu Mang, namely Yan, Mo, and Wei Xie, and there are more than a dozen small tribes in the rest. Some small tribes even rely on one of the large tribes to survive. A Lugu is the leader of a large Yan tribe in Hu Mang. Prince, his father does not only have one son, and he is not the most favored, but he is bound to win the position of leader.

This time it was because of the cold winter that the cattle and sheep did not have enough water and grass.

And since Chu Kui came, they could no longer use the Central Plains as their own pasture to harvest grain and plunder slaves as unscrupulously as before, so there was not enough grain stored in the autumn.

They urgently need supplies now, otherwise when the food is exhausted, they may not be able to survive this long winter safely.

Not to mention that the tribe's cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock will consume most of their fat after the winter, and there will be no time for the grass to grow next spring. They will not be able to replenish the energy consumed in the winter.

In addition, tribal women and livestock are entering pregnancy at this time, which is the most vulnerable moment. If the Wei army launches an attack at this time, it will cause a huge blow to the tribe.

This is not alarmist. Many small tribes have been wiped out by the Wei army.

This action he took was to find out the exact news. Chu Kui, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, was injured and fell into a coma. The Wei army was leaderless, so it was a good time for a sneak attack.

When he defeats the Wei army and sees how arrogant they are, his father will definitely look at him differently and understand who is the real son of Sirius.

Alugu led 5,000 Hu Mang cavalry to the Wei army's border guard checkpoint. He found that none of the Wei army soldiers were abnormal. Alugu frowned and said, "What's going on? Is it just pretending?"

He didn't doubt the authenticity of the news, because this was Hu Mang's most secret information channel, and it had never been discovered. It was probably Wei Jun who had blocked the news.

Without thinking any more, Alugu made a gesture and asked a vanguard team of dozens of people to go explore the way. However, before they could get close, dozens of arrows were shot down.

Everything happened so fast that before they could see what was happening, all the vanguard fell down.

Alugu saw that the situation was not good, but he was not willing to go back like this. He gritted his teeth and called for a team to come forward quickly. It’s just that this team also ended up in the same way.

Alugu didn't expect that a small checkpoint would be so tricky. They encountered obstacles at the first line of defense at Yucheng Pass, and they hadn't even penetrated deep into the Wei army camp!

But he was not willing to give up like this. This time he brought five thousand cavalry, all of whom were elite warriors of the tribe, and this level only had a few hundred people at most. Even if it was tricky, it would only cost a little more. time.

And he estimated that Wei Jun was just bluffing.

Alugu no longer hesitated and ordered all the Humang cavalry to rush to the checkpoint together, intending to crush them with force.

Thousands of war cavalry followed the order and marched together, and the ground began to tremble. The wild cavalry were like ruthless beasts, rushing hungrily towards the "fat and delicious" Central Plains.

Alugu seemed to have seen countless grains, slaves, gold and silver treasures collected into his pockets, but things did not go as he thought.

Behind the city wall of the pass were thousands of Yucheng troops. The bows and arrows they were proud of were useless in front of the Wei army. Instead, the arrows in the hands of the Wei army penetrated their leather armor from a few hundred meters apart.

Half of the Hu Mang cavalry were shot down before they even got close, and some were shot off their horses and then trampled by random horses.

An overwhelming rain of arrows came from the sky, and the screams of Hu Mang's cavalry who were hit by arrows resounded throughout the wilderness.

Although Alugu has been rushing ahead, he is surrounded by guards and protected by many people, so he is not in serious trouble.

Without any time to think, Alugu quickly turned his horse's head to leave the battlefield, and shouted unwillingly: "Retreat!"

But before I could run a few steps, I saw a group of men and horses appearing on the back road. The crimson flag was fluttering in the wind under the sky. It was the flag of the Yu Cheng Army. The horse's hooves made a heavy rumble and roared, rushing forward with an unstoppable momentum. Come, the dust rises up like a sea wave, making people feel chilled and frightened.

The leader was wearing armor and holding a long spear in one hand. The tip of the spear was glowing with a cold light, and his bottomless black eyes were like a deep pool of water that was submerged with no place to breathe. It was none other than Chu Kui.

Almost everyone in Hu Mang's cavalry knew General Chu Kui, but in the eyes of Hu Mang's cavalry, his heroic appearance was like a devil seeking his life. The moment he appeared, Hu Mang's cavalry, who had already been beaten to death by crossbows, was even more stunned. Extremely panicked.

Alugu couldn't believe it.

how come……

Wasn't he seriously injured and unconscious? !

A Lu Gu's face was twisted, and at the same time he was jealous, there was a trace of fear in his heart.

In fact, the Wei army already knew the news when the Hu Mang cavalry were thousands of miles away. It can even be said that they expected the Hu Mang people to come.

Although Chu Kui was injured and fell down in the military camp, he was still in full public view, and the news that he was unconscious could not be kept secret for long.

After Chu Kui woke up, they decided to simply use the trick. Chu Kui continued to pretend to be seriously injured and died, and there was no coach in Yuchengguan, creating an illusion for the Humang people that the Wei army was leaderless and scattered, and sent people to keep an eye on the Humang people tribe at all times. movement.

After determining the target of Hu Mang's cavalry, they began to arrange it in advance.

Xiao Yanjin led three thousand soldiers and horses to quietly garrison the pass, while Chu Kui personally led an army to besiege Hu Mang's cavalry from behind.

This Wei army is not an ordinary army, they are carefully trained soldiers, whether they are swords, guns, swords or halberds, or they are arrayed and obey orders, they are the best among the best.

Xiao Yanjin had been paying attention to the enemy's movements. As soon as Hu Mang's cavalry entered the range of the repeating crossbow, Xiao Yanjin gave an order to release the arrow.

A hissing sound.

Thousands of crossbow arrows fired in response to the string, making a roar, and the dense rain of arrows shot at Hu Mang's cavalry with the confidence and anger of the Wei army.

Some of the crossbows are large crossbow beds modified by Shen Fangshi and craftsmen based on repeating crossbows. They have a longer range and greater power. This large bed crossbow has a range of up to a kilometer and is most suitable for attacking and defending cities. Other arm crossbows were operated by soldiers and assisted from the side.

Covered by this dense rain of arrows, Hu Mang's cavalry fell to the ground crying and howling miserably.

Just after the first round of arrow rain, the crossbowmen fired another crossbow arrow under Xiao Yanjin's instruction.

call out--

The sky was filled with the whistling sound of arrow rain.

Under the rain of arrows, the thousands of charging cavalrymen were left with few who could fight.

The Yu Cheng army, armed with spears, swords and halberds, fought bravely and wiped out the Hu Mang cavalry who had been attacked by arrows.

The cavalry led by Chu Kui were even more impressive. They raised their swords and killed the remaining Hu Mang cavalry. The entire wilderness was filled with the harsh sound of swords striking each other.
