At the foot of Xu Wu Mountain, on the top of Wubao Castle.
There was a continuous cry of killing.
Countless corpses were piled up on the city tower, and blood flowed, leaving pools of blood on the city, causing a strong smell of blood to linger inside and outside the city.
Tian Chou was wearing armor and standing on the tower with a solemn expression, standing like a sculpture. He did not evade or evacuate, because he was the backbone of everyone. Once he was afraid of evading, the people of Wubao would lose their hearts.
No matter how difficult the situation is, Tian Chou must take the lead and be on the tower in person to cheer for the soldiers and make arrangements at the same time.
However, Tian Chou looked outside Wubao and frowned, with deep worry in his eyes.
Wuhuan launched a large-scale attack, and currently the infantry was mainly responsible for the attack. The cavalry under Wu Yan's command were not mobilized from beginning to end. Of course, cavalry cannot be used to attack Wubao. As long as Tianchou's Wubao is defended, there is no need to worry about cavalry.
However, once Wubao was breached and the cavalry rode into the city, they would harvest everywhere.
The key is that the Wuhuan soldiers are coming in waves, constantly consuming Tian Chou's troops. So far, all three thousand soldiers under Tian Chou have been sent up, and their elites have been exhausted.
In order to guard the city, Tian Chou had already notified the men in the city to join the battle. At present, young and strong men in the city are constantly gathering. Everyone knew that if the Wuhuan people attacked, there would be no way to survive, so they all came.
"Mr. Tian, three thousand people have already come, and more will come in the future. Our people are all ready to fight."
A responsible general came to report.
Tian Chou looked back, nodded and said, "Don't be anxious, just wait for my order before going out."
Tian Chou looked at the tower again.
Many places were in danger, the situation was very unfavorable, and Tian Chou didn't know how long the fight would last. Therefore, he must persist and delay as much time as possible.
As time passed, the defense became increasingly difficult.
"Mr. Tian, the Wuhuan people are coming up."
"Mr. Tian, I can't stop it."
The general in charge of the defense kept shouting for help. After Tian Chou saw it, he tightened his grip on the city wall. Since he couldn't hold it back any longer, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately mobilized three thousand people who had gathered to enter the city tower to fight.
Although these ordinary young and strong people lacked training and fighting spirit, they were better in numbers. A wave of people poured in, repelled the Wuhuan soldiers who rushed up, and held back the Wuhuan soldiers' offensive.
Tian Chou breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the low city wall and then at the situation outside the city, still worried.
The height of the city is too low.
There are too many enemies.
"Pass it on and mobilize all young and strong men to join the battle. This battle must be won, so that the Wuhuan people know that we can fight. If they want to kill us, they have to pay a sufficient price."
"In addition, we will notify the women who can fight and prepare to join the battle immediately. All men, women, old and weak will participate in this battle. This battle is also a battle for the people of the Han family to gain a foothold. If we want to save ourselves, let's take action Take up arms and prepare for a fight."
Tian Chou gave the order coldly.
Although he was worried about the situation, he was not afraid of death and was even prepared to die.
After the order was sent back to the city, a large number of men gathered further, including young and strong, old and weak, and even some strong women came with weapons and were already preparing in the rear, ready to join the battle at any time according to Tian Chou's orders.
Tian Chou looked back, with a look of relief on his face.
People’s support is available!
Although the Wuhuan people are outnumbered, they still have a heart, and they dare to throw all the people into it, even if they die.
But do Wuhuan people dare?
He believed Wu Yan didn't dare.
This battle can definitely be defended.
Tian Chou encouraged himself in his heart and continued to fight. When the three thousand young men who had invested gradually became tired and unable to resist, Tian Chou once again invested more people, allowing men, women, old and weak people to further participate in the battle.
The fighting became more and more fierce.
The corpses piled up outside Wubao have already piled up into mountains. Even some Wuhuan soldiers were able to climb Wubao and attack Wubao by trampling on the corpses.
The Wuyan people saw the attack in the distance and smiled on their faces.
Soon!
The Wubao will be broken soon.
When the time came, he asked his cavalry to rush into the city to loot and fight.
Wu Yan came to Tianchou this time to make an emergency landing, bringing more than 16,000 people with him. Among them, 6,000 were cavalry and 10,000 were infantry. It's just that Wu Bang took away a thousand cavalry, and now there are five thousand cavalry following Wu Yan.
These five thousand people have not been mobilized for the time being.
Wu Yan was thinking about how to deal with Tian Chou. Tian Chou had a tough attitude. After he captured Tian Chou, he took Tian Chou into custody and asked the soldiers to massacre the people of the Han family. Every citizen was killed in front of Tian Chou. , let’s see if Tian Chou dares to confront him.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a sentinel rushed over.
The sentry came to the rear of Wuyan and reported: "Your Majesty, a group of cavalry has appeared in the rear. All of these cavalry are carrying the Zhao flag. I am afraid there are thousands of cavalry, and they have already rushed towards us."
Boom! !
The sound of horse hooves sounded from far to near.
After Wu Yan heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but he said disdainfully: "There is no one in Youbeiping who can fight with us. This group of people should be the reinforcements invited by Tian Chou. No wonder Tian Chou is so tough, it turns out there are Reinforcements. However, I, Wu Yan, refuses to accept the rule. This time, I will destroy his confidence."
"Tuoba Mountain!"
Wu Yan ordered loudly.
Tuoba Shan cupped his fists and said, "The end will be here."
Wu Yan said coldly: "I will give you four thousand cavalry. You lead the troops to kill them and destroy the cavalry that comes to the rescue."
"As you command!"
Tuoba Shan replied loudly.
He has a strong build, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, thick lips, a curly beard under his chin, and a very rough appearance. He was from Xianbei, but he failed to gain a foothold in Xianbei. He came to seek a living under Wu Yan and became Wu Yan's general.
Tuoba Shan held two iron hammers, shouted, turned around and led four thousand people to fight out.
Four thousand cavalry came out in a mighty manner.
When Tuoba Mountain launched the attack, Lu Xuan, Xu Chu and Zhao Yun were already close to the Wuhuan cavalry and could see each other.
The distance between the two sides is less than three hundred steps.
Zhao Yun was responsible for commanding the cavalry confrontation. When he met the Wuhuan cavalry, he did not panic and shouted: "Short spear, throw it."
The ordering soldier immediately waved the order flag.
At the same time, a group of soldiers shouted loudly, using their shouts to convey orders.
After the order was arranged, Zhao Yun skillfully took out a short spear from the horse's belly pocket, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, leaned back, held the short spear in his hand at an angle of 45 degrees, and then threw it with all his strength.
The cavalry scattered behind them had also taken out their short spears and thrown them, all at a height of forty-five degrees.
Only at such a height can the effect of upward shooting be achieved.
The cavalry on both sides were walking towards each other very fast. In the blink of an eye, the distance was shortened by dozens of steps. Under this premise, when everyone took out the short spear and threw the short spear, the two sides had already taken less than 200 steps.
The short spear flew out for a while, passed through the air, and when it fell in a parabola, the distance had shortened again, and all the Wuhuan cavalry were within shooting distance of the short spear.
A dense mass of short spears fell into the crowd of Wuhuan cavalry.
Phew! Phew!
Many Wuhuan cavalry were stabbed by short spears, their bodies were injured, and they fell directly to the ground and died.
In fact, such casualties are very small, because after the short spears are dispersed, the purpose is not to pursue lethality, but to use the random shooting of the short spears to injure some Wuhuan soldiers, and at the same time use the offensive of the short spears to suppress the Wuhuan cavalry and disrupt the opponent's cavalry. The formation hindered the momentum of Wuhuan's charge.
This is the key.
The moment Zhao Yun saw the Wuhuan cavalry formation turbulent, the distance between the two sides once again became closer. The bright silver gentian gun in his hand pointed forward and shouted loudly: "In today's battle, annihilate Wuhuan, charge!"
"Cavalry battalion, charge!"
Lu Xuan urged the red dragon horse under his crotch, holding the gun and roaring loudly.
"Cavalry battalion, charge!"
Xu Chu and the surrounding guards roared.
More and more cavalry roared and followed Zhao Yun, Lu Xuan and Xu Chu to attack. When the Wuhuan cavalry was temporarily confused due to a wave of short lances, four thousand cavalry led by Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and Lu Xuan had already entered the Wuhuan cavalry formation.
