A new horse market was opened on the ruins of an empty city at the junction of Hetao Grassland and Beidi County, which was used to exchange cargo horses between the Central Plains and the northern nomadic tribes. It didn't take long for this horse market to become the largest free market in the Hetao area. But this horse market is actually a bait.

The Zhang Liao army in the Hetao region fought with Yu Fuluo in the Southern Xiongnu for a long time, and experienced dozens of battles and won eight battles in ten battles. However, they were unable to annihilate Yu Fuluo's main force, nor did they kill or arrest Yu Fuluo himself. This led to the endless war. So Zhang Liao used Lu Bu's strategy to open a horse market as bait.

There was no iron ore on the grasslands of the Huns, and they would not produce iron either. They did not cultivate the fields, so there was no food. Therefore, they had only two ways to obtain iron and food. One was to exchange and the other was to grab.

When the Yufulu tribe of the Southern Xiongnu had not rebelled, they would exchange livestock, horses, and fur for iron, weapons, food cloth, and even silk and porcelain from the Central Plains.

But since the Fuluo rebellion, they were unable to trade with each other in the Guanzhong Plain. They could only trade in Youzhou and Jizhou under Cao Cao's control through the Xianbei people in the east. This would definitely allow the Xianbei people in the middle to eat a large piece.

Therefore, horses that could be exchanged for one thousand stones of grain or one thousand sabers of horse-cutting can only be exchanged for five hundred stones of grain or five hundred sabers of horse-cutting can not be seen in the short term. But over time, Yu Fulu felt the pressure, food, weapons, and especially arrows, which created a supply and demand gap. The lack of food made the horse unable to gain weight, which caused the same number of horses to be able to exchange for a smaller number of materials.

In order not to allow this vicious cycle to continue, Yu Fuluo thought of another method [robbing]. However, it was not so easy to go south to the Guanzhong Plain to rob. Lu Bu built a fort in Beidi County and Shangjun, and Puli Township Yong.

Although these sturdy fortresses had few garrisons, they were unable to break through the Hun cavalry. Moreover, the fortresses were generally equipped with a large number of crossbows. What's even more terrifying was that he didn't know where the fortress was hidden in Lubu's terrible iron cavalry and elite Tiger Bing Shooter.

Those iron cavalry were real iron cavalry, heavy cavalry and horses were equipped with iron armor, while light cavalry could shoot arrows without any effort when they rode their horses and ran. The archers used a bow with a very long range, and they all shot arrows without any error. Yu Fuluo had tried several times and sent cavalry with hundreds of cavalry several times to try to go deep into Beidi County and Shang County, but they all had bloody heads. Even these two border counties could not go deep, so how could they talk about entering the Guanzhong Plain?

Just when Yu Fuluo was helpless, the opportunity came. Zhang Liao actually built a horse market in Beidijun near the Hetao grassland. However, this horse market was only open to the tribe of Zuo Xianwang of the Xiongnu. This was a Southern Xiongnu tribe friendly to Lu Bu, and Zuo Xianwang never recognized Yu Fulu's status as the Shanyu. Therefore, Yu Fuluo wanted to gain benefits from this horse market, but he could only rely on robbery.

Late autumn is the season for grain harvest and the season for fat sheep and horses on the grassland, and of course it is also the most prosperous season for the horse market. A steady stream of horse teams and ox carts pulling grain and food into the city, and bargaining sounds are endless in the horse market.

At this time, a burst of dust rose from the horizon northwest outside the city, and nearly 10,000 war horses lined up in several lines and rushed towards the city. It was Yufuluo, who came out in full swing to grab the horse market. In addition to the cavalry in the front, there were also a large number of baggage and ox carts in the rear, which brought siege equipment and also carried back the spoils.

The sound of the trumpet whimpered, and the four gates of Tucheng were quickly closed by the soldiers stationed in the city. The soldiers put on armor and replaced their weapons in the shortest time. It turned out that they were the most elite infantry soldiers in Lu Bu's army, including the system's black armored iron guards, the archer in the Hu Ben army, and the Mo Dao Hand. There were nearly two thousand people in total.

Yu Fuluo, who rushed to Tucheng, saw the city gate that had just been closed, angrily shook the horse whip in the air and said, "It's hateful, one step later." He had to wait for the ox cart behind to pull the catapult up. More than an hour later, the catapult finally came. Yu Fuluo pointed at the thin city wall with the horse whip and said, "Come and hit a point and blasted a gap for me."

Each unit requires dozens of people to operate a trench machine to throw out huge stones and hit the earth wall. The ground was splashed with dust and dust flew, cracks began to appear on the wall, and it became wider and wider. Song Xian, the general guarding the city, ordered the soldiers in this section to go down to the city to avoid flying stones, and at the same time prevent casualties from happening after the city wall collapsed.

After dozens of bombardment of huge rocks, the thin earthen city wall could no longer withstand it, and collapsed a large section, which was a hundred meters long. Yu Fuluo was overjoyed and quickly ordered the cavalry to charge. The Huns cavalry rushed into the gap in the city wall.

When these cavalry rushed into the dusty and bumpy adobe ruins, their horse speed had been reduced to the lowest. These Hun cavalry didn't know that the god of death was waiting for them in the dust.

A Hun cavalry squinted his eyes to prevent the dust from getting obscured. He heard a loud call and found a row of shiny blades drilling out of the dust fog. It was a nearly four-meter-long strange sword. The sharp blades easily penetrated into the horse and human body. As the horses roared, the Hun cavalry fell off their horses. In this way, more than 300 Hun cavalry fell down in succession.

All of this was seen by Yu Fuluo, "Suspend the charge and get on the archers." He shouted loudly. The Hun cavalry behind continued to surge into the gap. When he arrived, he did not pour in, but released rounds of arrows. He shot the strange swords hidden in the dust, and then turned around after shooting.

After a while, the gap finally fell to the ground, and the Mo Dao Bings holding long swords could no longer be seen. Yu Fulu ordered: "Continue to charge, and the archer protectors." The Huns Hu cavalry rushed to the gap again. This time, each Hu cavalry holding a saber slashed the horse and was almost followed by a archer. If the Mo Dao Bings came to intercept the formation again, they would face their close-range powerful shooting. The horse speed and arrow speed were enough to penetrate the armor of Mo Dao Bings.

This time no one sniped them, and the Hu cavalry finally rushed into the city. But they immediately found something wrong. The streets and alleys in the city were arranged with red deer antlers. They could only circle the streets at the base of the city wall, and then shot arrows at the soldiers behind the horse, but they were all blocked by the large shields of the sword and shield heavy infantry. Accurate arrows flew towards them from the roof, from the house, from behind the big shield, and shot them one by one.
